In the end, Adam was still rescued.
However.
In the eyes of the audience, his image was not as glorious as he had hoped!
Not only did he show off his intelligence throughout the entire expedition, just questioning evolution and attacking Lin Dong's stealth was enough to ruin his reputation!
At the start, the audience was indeed looking forward to it, but the more they watched, the more they felt that something was wrong. This guy was not helping Mr. Wood prove his evolution out of goodwill, but he was picking holes in it. He had sinister intentions! How did we let such a guy get into our sights? Many of Lin Dong's hardcore fans were so disgusted that they wanted to smash their televisions. However, as the exploration went deeper, everyone realized that evolution was not only undeniable, but it was also very obvious. Everyone's mood instantly became better. If they completely treated Mr. Adam as a clown, then it felt really good … Hence, while they were happily betting on when Adam would be eaten by the Zergs, everyone was enjoying this episode of the show.
Although Adam did not die, it did not stop everyone from quickly giving him the title of "Warrior Adam."
"This is the victory of us humans! Long live victory! Haha, please call me an idiot, no, please call me Warrior Adam! " As an enemy television station, naturally, they would not let Adam go so easily. Their host took out a high-definition photo of Adam and then put a small mosaic on it to show respect for Mr. Adam's image rights. Of course, no matter how one looked at it, it was full of malicious mockery.
"Eh? Hatib, when did you change your name to Adam? "Another host, Robert, pretended to be shocked and asked.
"Just now! You don't know how much I envy the name Adam! This is the name of a warrior. I have never been a warrior in my life, but I have never given up on the idea of defeating the Zergs to save the world! "Hatib said seriously.
"Forget it, it's useless even if you call yourself Adam. There is only one Warrior Adam! That is his exclusive title! "Robert shook his head.
"That's a pity!" Hatib's face was full of dejection.
"He paid the price of peeing his pants to get it, and you want to get it out of thin air? Don't even think about it! Not only me, all the television viewers will have the same thought as me. This is Mr. Adam's exclusive, unique, one and only title! Do you know who my latest idol is? It was not Mr. Wood who discovered the evolution of the underground creatures and issued a well-intentioned warning. Instead, it was Mr. Adam who bravely and fearlessly went through the dangers himself and questioned everything with an attitude of upholding the truth. Even when he saw the powerful underground creatures, he would contemptuously scoff at them and think they were inferior trash! When he stood on a tall rock, faced the camera, and calmly declared the victory of mankind, my knees couldn't help but soften. Yes, I admire him from the bottom of my heart … "Robert tried to hold back his laughter and said a series of ironic words, but the TV audience couldn't stop themselves from laughing.
"Robert, I'm a little curious. Why didn't that mudflat leech eat Mr. Adam? You know, Mr. Adam was brave enough to remain in the rear of the party during one attack, and to act as bait. "Hatib inquired.
"Perhaps the Tideland Leech does not dare to look at the valour of Mr. Adam!" said Robert, indicating that it must be so.
"The Mudflat Leech is cowardly. That enormous 30 meter long strange worm that appeared in the end and killed two attack helicopters shouldn't lack the courage to look Mr. Adam in the eye, right? Why didn't it look at Mr. Adam when it killed the two helicopters in the air? "Hatib raised another question.
"Perhaps the worm had already calculated that even with its sharp teeth that killed the armed helicopters in seconds, it wouldn't be able to penetrate Mr. Adam's skin!" Robert shrugged his shoulders.
"Are you saying that Mr. Adam used his skin to defeat the worm BOSS?" Hatib pretended to be shocked.
"Do you have a second answer?" Robert spread his hands.
It was a hundred percent certain that the worms in Death Ravine could evolve.
Millions of people witnessed it.
Pictures and videos were spreading all over the internet.
If anyone dared to refute that the underground creatures would not evolve after being exposed to sunlight, everyone would boo them.
Lin Dong did not attack again, but the puppet sisters were not idle, especially the younger puppet sister. Not only did she create a large number of "super evolved" worms in Death Ravine, but she also created many evolution cases in the Mayflower Formation's base and other areas' worm museums. The Giant Iguana Canal in Huaxia's Peach Blossom Valley also created a large number of evolved beings. Although the species in different areas had different levels of evolution, the researchers could conclude that they were evolving under sunlight through data collection.
The conclusion proved Lin Dong's prediction.
Many experts jumped out impatiently again. This time, they did not oppose it, but they proposed an evolution threat theory.
They said that if humans continued to evolve at this speed, the worms would catch up to humans one day. They might even lose the competition and be replaced by the underground creatures.
The experts suggested that all the underground creatures should be killed immediately.
Not a single one should be left alive.
The entire Death Ravine should be blown up. After ensuring that the underground creatures were completely eliminated, the place would be sealed with concrete.
Everyone was mentally prepared for the experts' opinion. It was indeed scary that the underground creatures could evolve, but it was an exaggeration to say that they would catch up to humans and replace them. Many people watched the show or watched the videos online. Their opinion was that part of the reason for the worms' evolution was due to sunlight, and part of the reason was like what Mr. Wood had said. The threat of death from human attacks forced them to evolve to preserve themselves.
For example, the mudflat leech that could not burrow. If the exploration team did not burn it with fire.
Perhaps it would evolve.
However, it would not become the monster that burrowed into the ground and ate humans in the end.
In a few worm museums that reared underground creatures, such as the one in Huaxia's Peach Blossom Valley, there were mudflat leeches. They had evolved too, but the direction of evolution was completely different from the one in Death Ravine. The mudflat leeches here had sufficient food and a good living environment. They had evolved into a completely harmless new form. They had no carapace or spiky tails. The Mudflat Earth Leeches in the Insect Museum had very long tentacles. They didn't eat humans, nor did they know how to burrow into the ground. They devoured non-living meat to replenish their nutrients. They even learned to use their tentacles to interact with the keepers.
The mudflat leeches that stayed in a good living environment had evolved their brains instead of their carapace and sharp teeth.
Even though their intelligence was lower than a chicken's.
However, this kind of evolution was harmless.
"Evolution won't last forever. This is an explosion. Forced to survive, or with sufficient energy, their genes will start a new round of strengthening. They will develop towards survival abilities or develop their brains. They can't speak, but because of the sunlight, they are eager to join the ranks of the surface creatures. If we have too much human interference, it might not be a good thing! As for the suggestion to use super bombs to destroy the Death Canyon, I don't support this action. This kind of action might cause greater damage and a greater boost. Furthermore, even if more bombs are used, a large number of the underground creatures will still survive. This is a life form that humans are unable to completely interfere with. Personally, I think we should live in peace or just ignore them. They have the right to live. As long as they don't invade our cities, they will be like the ecological environment of the African savanna. We can observe them from afar and approach them carefully. We can even conditionally protect them. The underground creatures are also a part of our world. They don't just exist in Death Ravine. I believe they exist in other places, continents, and countries. It's just that they aren't known yet! "Lin Dong revealed this information in an exclusive interview with Wen Hui.
"I have a question. If a super bomb is thrown down there, will it evolve into a more powerful insect that hates humans?" Wenhui asked again.
"It's possible, but not certain." Lin Dong indicated that he could only speculate.
"If someone asks you for your opinion, will you suggest that they throw the super bombs or tactical nuclear bombs into Death Ravine? If they do that, what will be the consequences? "Wen Hui asked again.
"First of all, I won't interfere with other people's decision, no matter what kind of decision it is. If someone asks me for my opinion, my personal opinion is to live in peace. It's best not to interfere with the living environment of the underground creatures. I won't deliberately suppress them or use external forces to promote their evolution. If someone insists on carrying it out, I won't object to it. However, I'll give them some reasonable suggestions. For example, Death Canyon has already experienced an earthquake, and the underground structure is very fragile. If we drop a super bomb on it, it's very likely to cause an even more intense earthquake! "Lin Dong laid down the groundwork for the earthquake formation that he had set up earlier.
"Will it definitely cause an earthquake?" Wenhui asked the key point.
"I'm not good at this, and I'm not a professional in this area. We'll need a geologist to do a comprehensive assessment. I made my judgment based on the landform that I saw when I entered the underground world, as well as the erosion of the underground water for thousands of years. It's just my personal opinion. "Lin Dong was humble, but it was enough for people to listen to him.
"If there's an even bigger earthquake, will Death Ravine become even bigger? If the insects inside are not killed by the explosion, will they pass through the blockade of the humans and enter the wider surface world? Will they invade the human cities? "Wen Hui raised a series of questions that were worth thinking about.
"I can only say that it's possible. I can't make a conclusion about the specifics." Lin Dong waved his hand.
"Does this mean that you don't want to see that happen?" Wen Hui asked.
"Of course. No one wants to see a man-made disaster happen. I can't stop it, but I hope that some actions can be more rational." Lin Dong nodded.
"I noticed that you've mentioned before that there might be underground creatures in other parts of the world, in other continents, and other countries. Does this mean that we'll find different types of underground creatures in the future?" Wen Hui asked.
"Science is advancing. What we haven't discovered before doesn't mean that people won't discover it in the future." Lin Dong smiled.
"If there's a discovery, will you be interested?" Wen Hui asked.
"If there's a discovery somewhere, I'll be interested to observe them. I'm very interested in underground creatures, but I'll have to get an invitation from the country or the region." Lin Dong expressed his interest.
"Back to the topic at Death Ravine. Do you think that the 30-meter-long super strange insect that can even shoot down an armed helicopter will invade the human cities? If it invades, how are we going to deal with it? I mean, it's so huge and it's covered in armor. Bullets might not work. How are we going to stop its massacre? "Wen Hui asked the question that everyone was most worried about.
"I don't know if it will invade the human cities. Based on my previous observations, the monsters in Death Ravine are usually more interested in opponents of the same or similar strength. Unless they're extremely hungry or in a state of hatred, they won't attack humans for no reason. I've seen its larvae in the underground. The larvae of the Violent Sand Scorpion Beetle are very small. They're less than ten centimeters when they're born. Their adult bodies are usually about three to four meters long. They're not the strongest creatures in the underground world. Why would their genes mutate and grow to 30 meters long? I'm guessing that it might be due to some kind of strong pollution underground. Maybe it's nuclear waste, or maybe it's some other element. That's why they mutated by leaps and bounds. If there's no human interference, this kind of mutation won't last for too long. At most, after a dozen generations of reproduction, their genes will return to their original form. Of course, they might evolve slightly, but they definitely won't have a body as huge as 30 meters. The Violent Sand Scorpion Beetle isn't cruel. On the contrary, it's actually quite gentle. It might've attacked the helicopter because it instinctively felt threatened. It thought that it was a powerful opponent that wanted to attack it, so it angrily rushed out of the ground and launched a fatal attack. Since it didn't eat the reporter and the cameraman, it hasn't lost its original nature. It doesn't have any interest in killing creatures that are too weak! "Lin Dong purposely led the topic to another pollution problem.
"You suspect that there's a leak of nuclear waste underground in Death Ravine?" Wen Hui repeated in cooperation.
"It could be a leak from an underground nuclear power plant, or it could be natural ores or other elements. I don't know the specifics, but this kind of pollution mutation isn't continuous evolution. If no human forces continue to exert pressure on it, then this uncontrollable mutation will slowly decrease until it disappears." As soon as Lin Dong said that, countless people immediately had an answer in their hearts.
"Here, I'll use a popular phrase on the internet. Will humans stop their suicidal behavior?" Wen Hui asked.
"When they realize their mistake, I think they'll reflect on it." Lin Dong nodded solemnly.
"Isn't that too late?" Wen Hui shook her head.
"Everything is laid out clearly, but some people still don't believe it. I don't want to see it, but I can't stop it from happening!" Lin Dong spread his hands and ended the thought-provoking interview.
