Doomsday Revenge: Payback Time (Josie) novel Chapter 527

Chapter 527.

The moment the words left his mouth, the three base leaders-Josie Quinn included-arched back instinctively in their seats.

“What kind of joke is this?” Malcolm Monroe didn’t believe it for a second.”You’re telling me a bunch of animals are plotting a siege? To attack us humáns?”

“Yes.” Felix Fletcher nodded grimly.”I’m not lying. See for yourselves!”

At his signal, a screen flickered to life, and a video began to play.

It was clearly recorded on a phone, likely from a hidden vantage point. The quality was surprisingly good, the picture sharp and clear.

A group of animals sat in a circle, seemingly in deep discussion. It was as if humans had donned animal skins and sat down for a strategic meeting. They were emitting short, simple syllables.

While the listeners couldn’t understand what they were saying, it was undeniable: they were vocalizing with intent.

On the wall behind the animals hung a hide scroll-it was impossible to tell what creature it came from-marked with the locations of several human bases. Next to the locations was a symbol shaped like a blade or an axe, resembling ancient pictographs.

The video caused everyone in the room to suck in a sharp breath.

They hadn’t even figured out why the Earth’s rotation was slowing down, and now they were being hit with the revelation that mutant animals had collectively evolved language and writing.

If the mutant animals were evolving this fast, what did human intelligence and cultural heritage even matter anymore?

“Does this even make sense?” Nadia Neville couldn’t help but speak up.”Humanity went from primitive tribes to slave-based societies over thousands of years. It took ages for writing to evolve from tying knots to the Oracle Bone Script. How long have these mutants even had sapience? They’ve already evolved their own written language?”

Josie nodded. “It is indeed fast-too fast to be natural. It’s as if a hand is pushing the evolution of these mutants, and someone has engaged a hyper-acceleration.”

The Lirio on Josie’s head suddenly stirred.

Lirio’s voice echoed in Josie’s mind: “Mistress, it’s not just the mutant animals. We mutant plants have had the accelerator pressed as well. Lately, it feels like layers of my mind are being unlocked. Every time a layer opens, I master a new ability-like creating writing or absorbing human knowledge.”*

“In other words, we’re evolving so fast because we’re standing on the shoulders of giants. We’re skipping hundreds of thousands of years of evolution because we can directly learn from the experiences and lessons of humanity.”

**I suspect the mutant animals are doing the same. They’ve leaped over the evolutionary process by learning from humans, which is why they’ve already created their own language and script.”*

**Many animals have even evolved specific vocal organs. Most animals shouldn’t be able to make those sounds, but they’ve developed them in just two generations. This means the evolution of mutants is trending toward becoming complete, high-intelligence lifeforms.”*
