Alien creatures destroy homes? Start by killing upright apes!

"underground?"

"Yes! The concentration of black blood in the deep groundwater dug out by the Water Dragon Beast is zero. The Great Dragon Kingdom conducted a comparative experiment in the Winner Monkey Kingdom, and the results confirmed it."

Rajiv turned to the mighty Chinese engineering corps captain:

"India's application to join the underground network construction project isn't about introducing water dragons; it's about full participation. We need underground housing, underground water purification plants, and underground farms. Name your numbers for how many water dragons and how many engineers you need, and I'll approve it."

The engineering corps captain stood at attention and saluted.

This young man was just an ordinary engineering lieutenant in the mighty Dragon Kingdom, but now, standing on the banks of the Ganges, he represented a nation of 400 million people, extending his hand to another nation of 300 million people.

……

The Winners' Kingdom, the government.

On the table in front of Lu Cheng were the first batch of reports from instinct testing laboratories in various countries.

In the foggy city of New York, the testing laboratory ran for three days, testing 1,200 people, and found zero upright apes.

David wrote in his report:

"The testing lab was built at the entrance to the port of Wudu, and all personnel entering the port area had to be tested. Three days with zero positive cases indicated that the Homo erectus had not yet infiltrated the port area. However, the testing lab itself had become a subject of observation for the Homo erectus. Three Homo erectus were perched on the edge of the Royal Park, staring motionless at the direction of the testing lab every day."

In Licheng, the capital of Yak Chicken, 1,500 people were tested, and zero were found.

George's note is:

"On the day the testing chamber was completed, the upright apes in the square of Notre Dame Cathedral in Licheng engraved a structural diagram of the testing chamber on the square with a copper sheet. The scale was accurate. They only glanced at it."

In Luo City, Zhu Sailang Kingdom, a thousand people were tested, and two were found.

Vitor's report was very detailed:

"Both upright apes were exposed during a simulated fire test. As thick smoke rose, they simultaneously growled, crawled on all fours, and tried to climb the wall. After being restrained, one of them wrote a line on the test chamber floor with a pebble—'You've found a way.' The other did not react at all, curled up in a corner, and covered its head with its arms. Our psychologists said that it wasn't fear, but thinking."

In Kyoto, the capital of Taro Tanuki Kingdom, eight hundred people were tested, and zero were found.

Massa's report concluded with a handwritten note:

"The day after the testing lab was built, the upright ape in Kyoto used pebbles to spell out a new character—'fire.' With just this one character, it was telling us that it knew the core trigger condition for the test was a fire simulation."

In the Waimeming Plains of Sam's Eagle Kingdom, six hundred people were tested, and three were found to be eagles.

Wood's report included a photograph.

After being restrained, the three upright apes squatted in the corner of the testing room. One of them raised its head and looked at the camera, its eyes showing no fear, only a quiet scrutiny.

On the edge of the Black Forest in the Hanscat Kingdom, four hundred people were tested, and zero were found.

King William's report was written on paper worn smooth by his tin boots, and the handwriting was illegible.

"The venom of the giant millipede has infected two thousand people, and the testing lab has no effect on them. Their nervous systems have been paralyzed by the toxin, making them unable to produce a fear response; instinct tests are ineffective on the infected."

In the Golden City of the Bulante Kingdom, seven hundred people were tested, and zero were found.

One line in Louis's report was repeatedly crossed out and rewritten, but was ultimately retained:

"The upright apes of Jincheng wove cloth and made clothes just like ours. They squatted by the roadside wearing their own clothes, looking at the testing room. We couldn't tell them apart."

Lu Cheng read through all seven reports and stacked them together.

"The instinct testing chamber works on normal humans, but not on infected individuals. It can recognize some of the Homo erectus apes that have learned basic camouflage, but not all of them. The two from the Giuseppe wolf kingdom were exposed, but Massa said the one from Kyoto wasn't. It's not that the testing chamber can't find it, it's that it doesn't even go inside; it just observes from the outside."

Carrie stood behind him, holding a cup of tea. "Does it know how the testing lab works?"

"It knows, 'fire.' When it spelled out that word, it already told Massa that it knew the core of the test was fire simulation. It doesn't need to go into the testing room because it has already learned how."

"Then what's the point of instinct tests?"

"It's useful. Not all Homo erectus evolves as quickly as the one in Kyoto. The two found in the Kingdom of Zhu Sailang and the three found in the Kingdom of Sam Eagles show that most Homo erectus's camouflage isn't perfect enough to fool their instincts. The testing lab can screen out these; as for those that can't..."

Lu Cheng picked up Massa's report and looked at the word "fire".

"If it can't be screened out, we need another method."

That afternoon, Li Wei’s seventh telegram was sent back from the south.

The telegram was sent from a trading post on the border of Botswana; the handwriting was illegible, and in some places it was smudged with sweat.

"Governor, I have visited the seven southern kingdoms—Mavira, Zamba, Zebawe, Botswana, Mozambi, Namibi, and Angura. The situation in the first four kingdoms is as previously reported. In the latter three kingdoms, Mozambi chose the Giant Dragonfly, Namibi chose the Antiomon, and Angura chose the Grimoire. There are no upright apes in any of these three kingdoms."

"But on the border between Namibi and Angula, I discovered a small country not on my visit list—Le Sotho. Ranked 100th on Earth, with a population of less than 200,000 and a land area less than one-tenth the size of the Winner Monkey Kingdom. On Advent Day, this country was randomly assigned Anomalocaris, which was released into Le Sotho's only river. Within a month, it multiplied three generations, devouring everything in the river. The governor of Le Sotho ordered the river to be blown up with explosives, killing most of the Anomalocaris. However, the explosives triggered a landslide, blocking the river and forming a dammed lake. When the dammed lake breached, it flooded the capital of Le Sotho, and the governor himself died in the flood."

"Now there is no government in Lesotho. Of the 200,000 people in the country, about 50,000 are still alive, scattered in a few villages in the mountains. This was originally just a tragedy of a small landlocked country, and had nothing to do with Homo erectus, but I found something in a village in the mountains."

The telegram was interrupted here.

The handwriting on the next line was even more illegible.

"In the central open space of the village, a line of words was arranged with white pebbles. It was exactly the same as the handwriting of the upright ape in Kyoto, Taro Tanuki Kingdom—the strokes, spacing, and arrangement were identical. The words read: 'We come from Wakandar.'"

"Governor, the thirty-six false men of Vakanda have arrived in Rasokda."

Lu Cheng placed the telegram on the table.

The system says that the thirty-six fake humans of Wakanda have scattered into various small countries in the southern part of Earth. Now...

Some of them... or all of them, appeared in Rasotho.

A small country with no government, no army, and only 50,000 disaster victims was infiltrated by 36 disguised upright apes.

Carrie's voice was soft: "What are they doing in Lesotho?"

"Rebuild." Lu Cheng stood up and walked to the map.

"There is no government in Lesotho, and the 50,000 refugees are leaderless. Thirty-six camouflaged upright apes have learned everything humans do—reconnaissance, infiltration, poisoning, traps, arson, disguise, and organization. They can impersonate human aid workers, infiltrate refugee camps, distribute food and water, establish order, and then—"

He didn't finish speaking.

But Carrie understood.

After the forty-seven upright apes of Wakanda were slaughtered, those that escaped learned warfare.

Now they have arrived at Rasotho, a land of ruins with no means of resistance.

They will not repeat Wakanda's mistakes.

We will no longer give humans the opportunity to slaughter them.

They will be replaced from the inside.

"But on the border between Namibi and Angula, I discovered a small country not on my visit list—Le Sotho.
