Now she could bury herself completely in Niu Niu's fur. Shi Man lay on her side, hugging Niu Niu with her hands and feet, treating her big cat as a big pillow. She felt an indescribable sense of security, and soon she fell into a deep sleep.
Niu Nai still had a pair of beautiful eyes open. When it saw Shi Man fell asleep, its tractor-like snoring gradually became smaller. It also cricketed twice, put its head close to Shi Man's head, closed its eyes and fell asleep, with its big fluffy tail hanging on Shi Man's body like cotton.
the next day.
As soon as the sun rose, Shi Man opened her eyes.
She actually woke up several times last night, all because of the milk leaving and the noise outside.
During this time, she heard the howling of wolves and the sound of some sharp objects scratching on metal. Niaini went out twice because of these sounds, but came back in less than ten seconds. Later, Niaini simply ignored them.
After washing up, Shi Man took the milk to the dining area, and everyone got up one after another.
Breakfast consists of soy milk and fried dough sticks. In addition to high-yield crops such as wheat, soybeans are also grown in the black soil. The core area has basically achieved freedom of soy products. When they came out, District 2 was also preparing a small soy product workshop.
The soy milk and fried dough sticks they were eating were also prepared by Grandpa Xu early in the morning. They were hot when they were taken out, as if they had just come out of the pan. The fried dough sticks were made from wheat flour produced from black soil, and the rapeseed oil used to fry the dough sticks was also rapeseed grown from black soil. Not only did they taste good, but they were also real alienated foods made from alienated plants.
Eating it not only fills you up but also has beneficial effects on your body.
While eating, everyone talked about what happened last night.
"A pack of wolves did come last night and tried to scratch their way in. They were a little smaller than the ones we encountered before, but still larger than normal wolves."
Bobcat said he was on night watch last night. "The wolves lasted about three hours before leaving. No other animals came after that, but there was movement outside last night. It's just too far away, and I can't control the drone, so I don't know what exactly happened."
Shi Man nodded and looked at the outside temperature today.
It's already 5°C above zero, and the temperature has risen so much, it's amazing.
"I think we need to change our diet starting today," Shi Man said. This was also the decision she made after thinking about it last night: "We should eat as many alienated plants and animals as possible and improve our own strength as soon as possible."
"Besides that, taking the Mutated Green Hand can boost your mental strength, but the side effects are significant. The process is uncomfortable and you have to endure it. And not everyone will see the effects."
Everyone had no objection. Having witnessed the power of transformed animals and plants, everyone knew that strength was the only thing that mattered.
Those blind bears last night ran so fast that even bullets couldn't catch up with them.
Ellie was still sighing that this evolutionary discovery was really messy and broke the rules and thinking.
In the conventional thinking, bears give people the impression of being "strong", but the direction of their evolution turns out to be "speed" and "intelligence".
"Actually, this evolutionary direction isn't surprising. It's just that our thinking is limited." Shi Man shrugged. "Think about it from another angle. Who says animals evolve in the direction of their original strengths? Perhaps they evolve in a comprehensive way, or perhaps they evolve to eliminate their weaknesses?"
Everyone was silent.
"This direction of evolution... is the most terrifying."
"If one creature's strength, speed, and intelligence were all maxed out, how would other creatures survive? In other words, would humanity still have a chance of survival?"
Shi Man looked out the window. Her voice was dark and her tone was unusually cruel. "Of course they can survive. It's just a matter of how long. Or, in the end, humans will face two possibilities. Either they can be like insects, weak but able to survive by relying on the population base. Or, they can become pigs, cattle, or sheep, being raised and eaten by other creatures."
"The offensive and defensive forces have shifted, and humans are no longer the masters. Now, we may be prey, or...poultry." This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
