Chapter 616: The mouse that jumped into the sea
Wang Yang must step on the tracks where rats have run, because the area where rats run is so large that they are everywhere. No matter where he goes, he has to step on the corpses of rats.
Unless, they retreat.
But it is definitely impossible to retreat. In Wang Yang's plan, there was never an initiative to retreat.
After getting off the tree, dozens of dire wolves had a full lunch and then lay down on the corpses of mice to rest. They were very comfortable. When Wang Yang and others approached, they only raised their heads slightly and ignored them at all.
The same is true for other animals. They eat their own food. Since there are rat carcasses everywhere, they don't have to worry about not having enough to eat.
It's very easy to travel in this situation. All the beasts are in the open and don't try to hide at all. They have eaten too much and the concentration of all the beasts is declining.
There is no need to hunt. I am extremely jealous when I meet each other on weekdays. Today, I have learned to say hello when I meet. For example, a few saber-toothed tigers will growl in this direction and pay attention.
Of course, the main thing is to look at the Smilodon tiger and its broken teeth.
Wang Yang suddenly realized that it was not bad to move forward this way. The snakes were also feasting, eating like buckets, and had no place to hide. Wang Yang estimated that if he attacked them at this time, they would not have much ability to resist.
There is no need to dodge or worry about being stared at. It is very easy and easy to move forward. In half a day, we have advanced the distance that we could advance in the previous two days, or even more.
Wang Yang knew very well that what he had to do at this time was to speed up, so he waved his hand and continued to move forward.
Many rats died along the way. Wang Yang suspected that most of these rats were trampled to death by their companions. It was a serious stampede. There were only a few wild animals, how could they kill so many?
This scene is really bloody. To be honest, it is quite convenient. You don’t have to worry about food. When you are hungry, you can just pick one up, grill it, sprinkle some seasonings, and you can eat it deliciously.
Well, it just has a lot of bones.
Don’t worry too much about water. The most indispensable thing in the tropical rainforest is water. There is heavy fog every morning. Take the opportunity to collect some. It will still be very refreshing.
One day later, they were not far away from the top of the mountain, and there were a lot less corpses on the ground. There should be no wild animals here, and the rats could run forward in an orderly manner.
Another day later, they came to the top of the mountain and caught up with the mice.
This mountain top is also not within the marked range of the map. The map is really limited. Moreover, the map of the farther place has not yet been transferred to the forest, so it is relatively small.
But as long as there are mountains, it will be easier. You can record and compare at the same time.
"Let's continue to the next mountain. Don't you want to see what the rats are doing? Let's go and see."
Several people ran away. They moved extremely fast, following the footsteps of the mice and running forward.
When we chased them until night, they were already in the group of rats. Only then did we understand what a mountain of rats is and a sea of rats. As long as there is space, there must be rats.
"What kind of mouse is this?" Wang Yingying lifted up a dead mouse and showed it to everyone. The mouse's fur was light brown, a bit like light coffee with milk, and its belly was white, and the back of its head was white.
A black stripe.
It's a bit like the rats in the northern area, with lighter fur. They are probably the species of rats that migrated from the north. As a result, there weren't many natural enemies in this area, so they multiplied like crazy and after a while, caused a rat plague.
Wang Yang thought that these guys might be the ancestors of some modern mice, such as lemmings and hamsters, the cute ones.
But these mice are not big, and the little guy can hold up to five of them.
"Keep chasing them. As long as they follow the mountain and run eastward, we will follow them."
At night, the rats got tired and began to gnaw on the wood. Hundreds of thousands of rats gnawed together, and the sound was heart-wrenching and thunderous.
But what Wang Yang found very strange was that they didn't go looking for food, they just grinded their teeth for a while.
"What are they doing? They have to eat when they migrate." The three of them were puzzled.
Wang Yang frowned and already saw some clues: "Maybe he is committing suicide."
"Ah?" The three of them shook their heads in disbelief. An ant could still survive, let alone a mouse? It is impossible for ordinary animals to have the consciousness of committing suicide.
The prerequisite for suicide is "self". You must first understand that I am me and have self-awareness, and then you can say that you kill yourself, which is suicide.
So the question is, do these rats have self-awareness? Even if they do, why do they commit suicide? No one wants to kill themselves.
Self-awareness sounds mysterious and complicated, but in fact it’s not too difficult to say, it’s just whether you have thoughts or not.
Cells should have no thoughts. There may be no concept of "I" in their concepts. Of course, this is speculation.
People must have thoughts and self-awareness. People can realize that they exist alone. Because of this, people will make many choices when facing the same thing.
First of all, people realize that heaven and earth and people are different things, one has no life and the other has life.
Secondly, I also realized that animals and people are different.
Then I also realized that people are different. The simplest distinctions include race, country and identity.
Therefore, because everyone is independent, has his own thoughts, and has his own personality, he has his own rules for doing things.
Some people prefer morality, some people prefer interests, some people are free and easy, and some people are disciplined.
The same environment can create different people.
Many animals have no self-awareness, and most of them will shrink back when faced with death. Humans can die generously and commit suicide to be benevolent.
Don't mention moths. Moths have never been to kindergarten. Although they go to put out the fire when they have nothing to do, they feel comfortable being close to the fire. As a result, they get closer and ascend to the sky.
That belongs to unconscious death. They don't just do what they think of. They don't even think about it. If they don't think about it, how can they have thoughts? How can they have self-awareness?
In other words, this self-awareness is the soul. It is a very complicated concept, but all humans can understand it.
In this Paleolithic age, the most self-aware thing Wang Yang has ever seen is the wolf. It is different from others, not even the Smilodon tiger, nor the little guy, they are just a little bit different.
Wang Yang really doesn't know whether these rats have self-awareness, maybe they do, maybe they don't, but it seems like they don't.
"They probably don't have this consciousness, but they really may be committing suicide. Have you ever seen people migrating without eating? Isn't not eating something a suicide?" Wang Yang sighed.
The three of them nodded, feeling that it made sense.
Whether it was suicide or not was not the focus of Wang Yang's attention. After chasing him, he came to another mountain top. Here, he saw that the terrain ahead was very similar to what was depicted on the map.
"Look, is it here?" Wang Yang quickly showed the map to the other three people.
After seeing it, the three people said: "It's very similar. Let's go to the next mountain to confirm it again."
"Okay." Wang Yang and the others immediately set off and rushed to the opposite mountain.
"Shashasha..."
The mice did not stop their progress, and continued to move forward, running towards the front, and the sound became much louder.
Wang Yang and others shook their heads after hearing this. No one knew where these rats were going and when they started migrating. It shouldn't be too early, otherwise they should stop.
They must have thought that this forest was not enough to support their number, so they continued to move forward.
The army of millions of rats continued to move forward, with Wang Yang and others following behind them. Suddenly Wang Yang stopped and frowned: "Do you feel that the more you breathe, the thirstier you get?"
Several people nodded, their noses feeling dry.
"I've drank a lot of water today, why do I still feel so thirsty?" Wang Yang frowned, feeling a little weird.
There was a popping sound outside the mountain in the distance. The sound was very mixed, and I didn't know what was happening.
They continued to move forward, and one day later, they reached the next mountain top. When they reached the top of the mountain, they looked around and saw that there was a wide open space between heaven and earth.
In the distance, the sky and water meet each other, and the shimmering water surface is connected together, which is so beautiful.
The salty sea breeze blew in front of him, blowing Wang Yang's long hair at the temples, with a sense of laziness, blowing deeply into every pore of Wang Yang and into his bones.
Suddenly, the feeling of laziness radiated from the inside out, and I just wanted to sunbathe and take a comfortable nap.
"The sea~"
In the distance, there was a blue sea. They came to the ocean and saw the ocean of the Paleolithic Age for the first time.
The waves are sparkling, the sea and the sky meet, and it's azure!
The magnificent water surface, the vast ocean, and the vast sky perfectly fit together to form a beautiful picture.
However, before Wang Yang had time to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the ocean, he was pulled forward by Wang Yingying.
There is a cliff ahead, and countless rats are jumping forward one after another, and directly into the sea without any explanation.
Not one, not two, but countless of them. Every eye was full of rats, and they were all jumping down. Just in the distance between the sea surface and the cliff, there were more than hundreds of rats.
The cliff is not high, only about 20 meters, but these mice seem to have identified this place, whether to jump into the sea or to commit suicide. Like moths, they jumped down without any hesitation.
"These mice are crazy, really crazy. Why are they jumping like this? Isn't this suicide?" Xiao Hong looked shocked.
She obviously couldn't understand why good animals would have suicidal thoughts, and it was a horrific mass suicide. It wouldn't be a problem if their brains were broken.
She has been dealing with animals for so long, and she has never seen any animal be so stupid. She once heard Wang Yang tell the story of waiting for a rabbit, and she categorically denied that no matter how stupid a rabbit is, it cannot hit a tree stump by itself.
