Chapter 0005: The Rescue of the Insect Monkey Tribe
"It was accidentally stepped on by me, which is also a matter of bad luck, a case of survival of the fittest."
Upon learning that I have a terminal illness, they immediately introduced their daughter to me as a potential partner
Yes, come to Aunt Li's house!
He felt greatly comforted and smiled, "Back then, those bug monkeys who could only shout 'Xie Ding' 'Xie Ding' have finally developed their own rudimentary civilization, and they are no longer so annoying; in fact, it's quite good."
"Is it possible for the insect monkey? Then I would be quite happy." Xu Zhi chatted while striding forward.
He was indeed touched by the warmth of the neighbors, feeling a warmth in his heart, which was quite nice
Run fast! There is no hiding here, Allah is coming!
Mountains and rivers were flattened, and streams ceased to flow. Some powerful species, without even having time to react, were crushed to death by a foot that descended from the sky, turning into a puddle of flesh.
Hehe
... ...
Xu Zhi thought for a moment, then picked up the telescope, stood on a chair at the door, and observed the insect monkeys in the distant sand table
In front of the mirror, he silently sensed everything
Before leaving, the aunts stuffed some vegetables they had grown at home and some food into his hands, saying: "You should just stay here and rest comfortably to recover from your illness, and worry less; who knows, you might just get better!"
He did not refuse the enthusiasm of the neighbors and sat for a while in the adjacent courtyard. The warm-hearted aunties were quite chatty, expressing their sorrow upon learning that Xu Zhi had been diagnosed with a terminal illness, and they were quite maternal in their concern.
After chatting with the neighbors for quite a while and getting to know each other, he expressed that he would take some time to recuperate at his old rural home and that we would see each other often in the future, before riding his bicycle back to the courtyard
Having survived for one hundred and fifty years without extinction, it possesses some potential and should be explored
The ground is shaking
How can there be such large organisms
The most crucial thing is that the hair has grown out
Those insectoid heroes are powerful individual beings that can autonomously control their genetic chains, achieving active evolution and regulating their own genetic sequences, which is simply worlds apart.
No, Mom! He wasn't like this a couple of days ago; he was bald, had a receding hairline, and his back was hunched!
A large area of forest has collapsed
Even if others come to visit the courtyard, they will not see this magical miniature land in the orchard behind. The insect nest is adept at mental manipulation and can naturally interfere with human consciousness, creating a "mental energy shield" that obstructs other organisms, plants, and bacteria from entering the sandbox, resulting in an absolute separation of the two lands.
Yes," Xu Zhi nodded.
In the mirror, the young man appears handsome and tall, with well-defined facial features and muscles that have become distinctly chiseled
However, it is on the verge of extinction
"Transcendence? How can one achieve transcendence?" Xu Zhi asked
He ultimately became very happy
Several black-haired creatures, robust in their fur, with armored joints, resembled a self-walking armored gorilla. They growled in an immature scale of language, urging the women and children behind them to retreat, while wielding a massive horned club from an unknown beast, charging towards a few emaciated, pitch-black creatures that were grotesque like a theropod.
At this moment, the Insect Ape clan has endured a day and a half, which amounts to one hundred and fifty years. They are now increasingly rare, barely surviving, and are on the brink of extinction
On both sides of the dirt road are fields, and the road occasionally has some cow dung, filled with the nostalgic flavor of the countryside
Xu Zhi raised her eyebrows, and instantly felt a sense of relief in her heart
After placing the order, he turned off the computer
At the one-centimeter mark of the ant's shoe, it is far beyond reach. Looking up, the overwhelming sensation of towering giants that pierce the clouds and stand tall against the sky is beyond imagination
The Zerg undergo passive evolution, characterized by survival of the fittest. For instance, during the Dark Age, the plant known as Blue Moon Grass, which absorbs moonlight, evolved only after the death of hundreds of millions of plants, ultimately resulting in a single plant capable of photosynthesis using moonlight
The insect nest pondered for a moment and added: "The genetic diversity of species in this land is quite unique and distinctive. For instance, after absorbing the genes of the orangutan, this insect-ape has become somewhat peculiar, possessing significant potential, which is not without possibility."
The hair has grown back, but that does not mean I have become weaker
He is ten thousand times larger than the greatest hundred-meter beast, Finba! With one step, he crushed the terrifying Allah!
Xu Zhi stood up and walked towards the courtyard: "Adjust them to restore to the normal rate of cell division, one to one"
The round-faced little girl, Chen Xi, rushed out with several aunties, full of energy and enthusiasm
More than half a day has passed, which is equivalent to over eighty years in their sandbox world.
In the ancient forest filled with a wild atmosphere, countless beasts were startled and took flight, with large numbers of species fleeing outward
The side effects of chemotherapy have now been resolved, and there has been some improvement in the poor physical condition. However, no matter how healthy the body is, it cannot kill cancer cells; in fact, the healthier the body, the stronger the cancer cells become
It is fundamentally impossible to see the top; it is at least a super giant beast that exceeds one thousand meters in length
He looked at the two packages from online shopping on the table, which had already arrived this morning; after all, with expedited air shipping, it only took a little over a day
Xu Zhi strode forward to catch up with the fleeing insect monkey soldier ahead.
Xu Zhi was suddenly called by a dark-skinned, short, plump aunt next to her, saying: "Oh, isn't this little Zhi? ... Chen Xi's girl said you have returned, I didn't believe it at first ...? ... By the way, I heard that you fell ill, is it cancer?"
Xu Zhi indeed understood it clearly
"It's you again, you little brat. Let's see if I don't teach you a lesson..." The short and stout aunt, known as Pig Woman, was very angry, but upon seeing the more intimidating aunts around her, she was startled and turned to leave.
The evolutionary speed has now slowed down significantly; one times is one year, adjusting to one hundred times, one day still equates to one hundred years
A few days have passed, and Xu Zhi seems to be less listless.
Hiss, hiss, hiss! In the forest, those few terrifying beasts known as the Ara, which were feeding on the corpse of a recently deceased insect monkey, were also crushed underfoot, without even a hiss of protest
Although Xu Zhi had selected the best original template for them at that time, during the two days they were cultivated as experimental subjects into adult monkeys, the Sandbox Continent continued to evolve at a rate a thousand times faster, and in just two days, twenty thousand years had already passed... By the time they returned... they had already become disconnected from the grand era.
Since he started working, he rarely comes back. Now, he suddenly recalls many memories from his childhood here, feeling a sense of warmth. Accompanying those aunts who watched him grow up, chatting with them, he finds it quite comforting and pleasant
Indeed, Xu Zhi responded with a warm smile.
Most of the neighbors in the countryside are simple and unpretentious
On the morning of the second day, Xu Zhichen returned from his morning run, slightly sweating.
Ruins and broken walls, corpses lying everywhere
He doesn't want to go in casually, because every time he enters, it causes huge damage to the ecosystem.
My daughter, how could you curse Brother Xu Zhi like that! And you even insulted him by calling him bald! Aunt Li is very angry.
The Insect Nest Intelligence remarked beside, "The insect species possesses an exceptionally strong reproductive capacity; they are all meaningless mass-produced evolutionary spores, leading ephemeral lives akin to plankton, unless they can transcend."
Nearby, several enthusiastic ladies with baskets called out cheerfully
We must survive!
Boom boom boom
"Alas, that won't do," the aunt said excitedly. "You have a terminal illness, and our old Xu family has no descendants. What shall we do? My daughter is actually quite good; just look at this..."
This is passive evolution, the sacrifice is too great, built on a huge death toll.
A kick.
The insect apes turned their heads and looked at the towering and vast creatures that seemed to pierce through the white clouds in the sky, like ancient giants. They screamed and instantly collapsed to the ground.
In a package, there is a miniature potted plant: a welcoming pine.
The southern region of Mesopotamia is a vast valley where humanity thrives, filled with large forests bearing fruits and edible plants
I heard my mother say that you, Pig Woman, have entangled Xu Zhi, and I knew that Pig Woman is going to marry a girl! Your girl is extremely ugly, has a terrible temper, beats her husband, and her husband has already run away from her. You still want Xu Zhi to take over, huh?
Xu Zhi understood the meaning of their rudimentary language through the insect nest, and he did not mind it at all
... ...
They are too weak and small.
After stopping chemotherapy for more than half a month, the side effects have finally subsided, and my body has returned to its original state; my figure and face are even more perfect than before... This is the substantial nourishment that the vast swarm of death has gradually provided to my body
With shame, it means they have wisdom, and I have succeeded.
After all, a vast race cannot be controlled solely by the mother nest; there are various powerful high-ranking individuals—Zerg heroes.
Continuing in this manner, extinction is undoubtedly inevitable
Xu Zhi pretended not to hear, displaying a demeanor of calmness and composure
The women fled in despair, seemingly accustomed to running away. Several male insect monkeys rushed in to resist, but soon a large amount of fresh blood flowed incessantly, being chewed and turned into food
This ... ... '' Xu Zhi unexpectedly discovered that within a single night, these insect-like apes had already developed a rudimentary tribal structure, living in groups, and had even given birth to a primitive language and culture, donning animal skins
Fear is spreading
According to the theory of evolution, such species that resist population reproduction are destined to be eliminated by nature
In the sandbox, the Zerg are herded; after death, their life soul energy can provide nourishment to the paper, with the higher the life forms, the stronger the soul, and the more powerful the effect.
Perhaps they believe that having earned some money in the city, along with inheriting a large orchard left by their parents, they can wait until after their death to pass on their inheritance
Xu Zhi sighed upon witnessing this scene, feeling a sense of compassion; the casualties in the primitive tribe were too severe.
The explanation of the Insect Nest Intelligence: "It means breaking away from being cannon fodder and entering the realm of insect heroes, awakening, breaking free from passive evolution, being able to control one's genetic lock, and adjusting one's own genetic evolution... Under the billions of races spawned from spores released on each planet, there are always a few that can transcend to become leaders, unlock their genetic locks, become insect heroes, and ascend to a higher level.
Ahead lies the Tigris River, teeming with countless plump fish. The abundance of resources has allowed the creatures living here to barely survive, but now the final moment has arrived
Another package contains a finely crafted alloy greatsword, custom-made by a Taobao seller, which is only slightly thicker than the tip of a needle, featuring exquisite and luxurious textures
Xu Zhi, let me tell you, in our village, there is always a troublemaker like Zhu Po who is not a good person. Every village has its share of unreasonable and unruly shrews and scoundrels... Wow!
Their ancient genes from twenty thousand years ago are simply insufficient to withstand the attacks of colossal beasts and tyrannosaurus-like creatures that emerged twenty thousand years later
The current state is due to the first mass extinction in the "Dark Epoch" a few days ago and the second mass extinction in the "Light Epoch".
Xu Zhi was just about to refuse
As soon as he entered the room, he hurriedly made his way to the sand table to observe how that group of apes had evolved in civilization
Oh my God! What is that...
Xu Zhi was momentarily taken aback
"Do you think the insect-ape I created will give birth to heroes who can break the shackles of genes?" Xu Zhi smiled, "Will there be heroes of the race?"
Leaving the sandbox in the yard, I rode my bicycle to the distant town and had breakfast again
However, wisdom is characterized by impermanence; wisdom gives rise to many viewpoints that are inconsistent with evolutionary theory, much like humanity
I feel that I have regained my confidence; is hair not a man's dignity?
Two mass extinctions of species, although involving the most primitive organisms, resulted in an overwhelming number of deaths, which nonetheless played a significant role, until last night, when they were completely absorbed by him
After all, for those universally small creatures the size of ants, a one hundred mu sand table is already equivalent to a small province on Earth
Sufficient potential is all that is needed for it to be feasible
The hair that fell out during chemotherapy is gradually growing back, and the pale skin has also become healthier.
Xu Zhi got out of bed and looked towards the yard outside. In that one hundred mu sand table, miniature mountains and rivers, the earth was lush and green.
Hey, don't pay attention to her
I am here to assist you. Please provide the text you would like to have translated from Simplified Chinese to English.
What is the feeling of an ant when it observes a person
He rarely strolled around the village, intending to show off his newly grown thick, black hair, wondering who would still dare to look at his head, revealing a face full of sadness
Aunt Li, who is Chen Xi's mother, shot Chen Xi a glare and said with a smile, "Girl! Hasn't Xiao Zhi always looked like this? Over the years, he has changed a bit and has become much more handsome! Come on! Let's go sit at your Aunt Li's house."
To them, one is like a deity
Xu Zhi thought of this, and her expression slightly changed. She returned to the room, logged onto her laptop, connected to the wireless network, and customized some items on Taobao. "It seems I need to find a way to create some sparks of civilization for them!"
The next morning, early in the day
The thatched cottage has been destroyed, and the ground is littered with the corpses of insect monkeys
Chen Xi casually glanced at Xu Zhi and was momentarily taken aback, "How did you end up like this!? You weren't like this a couple of days ago, bald, particularly bald..."
"It is definitely a substitute! They secretly edited the photo; it's one thing for the hair to have grown out, but now the appearance and temperament have changed quite a bit... There must be a problem!" Chen Xi lay on the wooden chair, still murmuring.
