4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

As the earth and sea were frozen, the surface creatures disappeared.

However, there are many creatures deep underground ... but they are slowly dying ...

It wants to protect the creatures here, it wants to keep them alive.

Although these tiny creatures are like parasitic microorganisms to it, they want to protect them.

Life here ... needs warmth to survive.

It knows this.

However, warmth is a luxury for a wandering world without stars.

So, it thought of a way to raise the temperature of the underground, so that some creatures there can survive.

However, no matter how much it is raised, there is no way to raise it to the original temperature, so there are not many living creatures, but ... it is enough.

It believes that these creatures can still recover, just like ... before.

In this way, the creatures here are living here, they are slowly recovering their populations, and the world itself has entered a state of sleep.

It suffered some injuries, so it needed a deep sleep to recover ... And after it fell asleep, Atlan began to slowly 'wake up'.

Atlan lived in the underground refuges they built before the war. The explorer who initially proposed the construction of the refuge blocked all refuge exits, but they were not used to staying in narrow places. Landu was trying to find a way to leave.

Some Atlan found the way, they successfully opened the entrance to the refuge, and then explored the environment outside.

However, the Atlantis found that they could no longer return to the ground, because the road to the ground was blocked by a lot of snow and ice, and it was almost impossible to dig it.

So they went deep underground.

However, exploring deep underground ... there are also quite a few dangers.

Many Atlan went missing in the process of exploration, they found that exploration is quite difficult.

However, there are some places in Atlanta that have found a special place ... such as the warm environment underground, and go there to live, but they no longer contact the companions of the shelter.

And those Atlans in the refuge also stopped continuing to explore, but placed their hopes on a group of special Atlans.

Because, many Atlantis know a special plan 'ecological restoration' plan.

Refuge No. 109 was born for this.

In fact, there are some refuges like No. 109. The equipment in this refuge is more advanced and is specially made for some special researchers.

They are called 'Ecological Restoration Teams' and they are responsible for restoring the destroyed surface environment after the war.

Therefore, all they have to do is create creatures that adapt quickly to the ground.

When they lived in a refuge, they started their research, studying various animals and plants, but the organisms they used for research were basically their own, and did not use the original products here.

Because Atlan knows more about the creatures he carries and makes it easier to conduct research.

They have created many creatures, and in the course of research, these researchers have passed several generations, but their descendants also inherited their knowledge, so they can continue to study.

They also left the refuge, and they tried to explore underground.

But they did not want to go out on their own, so Atlan found a creature to explore instead ...

This creature is 'Mole'.

Moles are a kind of creature that is very suitable for living in the underground environment. At the same time, their skin can also keep warm and even eat some underground plants. They are the perfect species for living underground.

At first, Atlan used these moles to start exploring in the underground environment. At the same time, they also conducted research on new species of moles, trying to create more intelligent moles to carry out more complex tasks.

The general task is to equip the moles, and then let them enter the environment that Atlan himself does not want to enter to shoot and detect the environment.

Initially, this process was very smooth. Mole explored many areas, and Atlan also let them bring some fungus or plant seeds to the depths.

Some plants can grow without light, and they use this plant to improve the environment in the cave.

And because this process has progressed so smoothly, something strange happened later ...

There are two main types of moles, but they are all the same kind of creature. It was originally called 'fruit mole', but later I don't know why they are called without fruit.

One kind of mole is on the ground with four limbs, while the other is standing. They can complete different tasks, but the intelligence of the two is the same.

The researchers first discovered that their moles became more and more obedient and more and more able to understand their commands. At first they thought it was very good, and then gave them more commands.

And soon, researchers discovered that these moles seemed to be getting smarter.

From the beginning, Atlan thought that moles only needed a certain amount of intelligence, not too clever, otherwise they might do strange things.

However, even if Atlan did not continue to try to improve the intelligence of Moles, their intelligence is still increasing.

Moreover, this problem was actually noticed very late.

Because in the intelligence test, Mole already knew how to pretend to be stupid, making it difficult for Atlan to detect their intelligence, and they were also secretly doing something.

For example, after entering deep underground, the exploration equipment given to them by Atlan was dismantled, etc. They also deliberately imaged it as an accident.

The moles who had removed the exploration equipment entered the depths of the ground to live and began to breed.

Originally, Atlan firmly controlled the reproduction of moles, but as long as moles breed outside, Atlan will not notice.

Later, when these moles reproduced to a certain number, they began to try to deal with the race that made them-Atlan.

A large number of moles outside, as well as the moles in the research institute, began to "cooperate inside and outside". They used "strategies" to break into the refuge and launched an attack on the refuge of Atlan.

The battle was successful ... for Mole.

Researchers in Atlan were almost killed by them, and Mole successfully rescued their fellows trapped in the refuge.

And the Moles did not return to the refuge, they went to new places to reproduce ...

That's what they found in the deep underground is a very suitable space for them to live.

Of course, there is more than just moles. There were many creatures in the refuge. They also left the refuge and followed the mole into the place to live.

This place is very beautiful, with a variety of creatures, and the small sun illuminates the whole place in the sky, and has a suitable warmth.

This is the world ... the environment built for the remaining life, and now Mole joined this place and became a member of it.

Mole's initial life ... should be said to be very smooth.

They have established their own community underground, they are like a group of primitive creatures, they will use various things to create simple tools.

Why didn't they use the tools of Refuge Atlan?Maybe it's that intelligence hasn't reached that level, or it's just that she doesn't want to use it.

In short, they did not take anything away when they left the refuge, they completely established their own population.

Like a group of primitive individual creatures, Moles started with the use of simple tools and slowly built stone buildings. They were usually dominated by chiefs and lived on the search for food plants and hunting as the main food source. .

As they developed, their communities grew larger and larger, and began to have a large impact on the underground environment.

Because the creatures in the underground environment are almost all native creatures, and the expansion of the moles began to oppress these creatures, and gradually their number became smaller and smaller.

At the same time, they are not only oppressed by moles.

There are also some creatures that had previously left the refuge together with Mole, such as 'Monkey'. These creatures are small, but they are very competitive.

In addition to this, there are other creatures that slowly invade the whole place.

And at this time ...

The world is awake.

But it is not a complete awakening, only a part of consciousness is awakened. This part of consciousness will check for foreign objects in the underground environment and exclude them.

Only native species will be considered not foreign bodies, anything else ... including Atlan and Mole, and the creatures brought by Atlan, all belong to the category of foreign bodies.

They are counted on the 'extinction list'.

With the awakening of this exclusion function, the underground environment will begin to change.

This environment will suddenly darken, and then there will be countless scary creatures.

This kind of creature only aims at 'foreign species', and annihilates them.

This phenomenon occurs more than once. It becomes a cycle. Every once in a while, horror creatures will appear again, and this place will also become dark ...

But in fact, this kind of creature is an organ of this world. They exterminated many creatures, including one kind of mole, because this kind of mole did not run fast.

They almost wiped out most of the alien creatures ... only a few remained, struggling to survive in a regular cycle.

Mole also found that these monsters have a certain fear reaction to light. Although light will not harm them, they can avoid them by going to the bright environment ...

After this, the villages, buildings, and other structures that Mole had built fall apart. They can only live a life of avoidance. Their reproduction speed is not fast, so the number is getting smaller and smaller ...

Until now.
