Qin Xiao didn't cover up for his cousin at all: "It seems that you, Boss, are well aware of his shamelessness."
"Fortunately, knowing your subordinates is the basic skill of every unscrupulous boss." Shi Man continued to tell jokes.
Qin Xiao was indeed amused. To be able to meet such an "unscrupulous boss" in the end times, he must have burned incense in his previous life.
He said, "Song Yan wants the remaining animal traps you have."
Shi Man guessed that the most important part of Song Yan's plan was "undercover".
This was indeed a good idea, but Shi Man only had five traps left. She suddenly sighed, "If only we had a high-level trap. We could find that S-level Calamity creature directly, tame it, and then command an army of creatures."
Qin Xiao's eyes sparkled. "How can I get a high-end animal trap?"
Shi Man: "In a dream."
Qin Xiao remained silent. Captain Qin could not respond to his boss's dry humor at the moment.
The two returned to silence, staring at the dark forest outside the window. The only sound coming from the second floor was snoring. Milk's snoring sounded like a truck, while his brother's snoring was more piercing, like an electric drill.
The originally dull atmosphere seemed less solemn because of the snoring of cats and dogs.
Shi Man suddenly said, "I think if that S-level Calamity creature is really a Tibetan macaque, then it might be a blessing in disguise."
Qin Xiao: "Why?"
"Humans are originally upright apes. The genetic similarity between humans and chimpanzees is 98.7%, and the genetic similarity between humans and macaques is around 93%."
"The core differences between us and monkeys are concentrated in non-coding regulatory sequences and a few functional genes."
"If an S-level Calamity-grade monkey really appeared, then it must have broken the genetic lock."
Shi Man looked at Qin Xiao with a meaningful look: "You, have also broken the gene lock."
Qin Xiao's expression suddenly became sharp, and he sensed the deep meaning in Shi Man's words.
"If this mission succeeds, the participants will receive an evolution potion. However, I believe that the experimental material from an S-level Calamity monkey may bring an opportunity for evolution to all of humanity."
Shi Man felt that perhaps from the beginning to the end, obtaining the monkey was the real purpose of this mission.
The system never does anything useless.
It is like a 'prophet', and every step it takes has a profound meaning.
The rewards given must also be related.
"Actually, there's something I haven't confessed." Qin Xiao suddenly said.
Shi Man looked at him in confusion. Huh? Why did they suddenly switch from discussing business to having a heart-to-heart chat? How did she act like a caring and considerate boss?
Qin Xiao's expression was somewhat murky: "During the time when I was unconscious, I actually had some strange dreams repeatedly."
"In my dream, I seemed to have experienced many natural disasters, not just floods and extreme cold, but also acid rain, extreme heat, earthquakes, and the alienation of plants and animals..."
"I don't remember the details very clearly, just images of the struggle to survive."
"But in every dream, my ending is death."
Shi Man's heartbeat suddenly quickened, but her expression remained unchanged as she casually asked, "Anything else?"
Qin Xiao was silent for a while, then looked up at her, "There's another person."
"Very much like you."
