Chapter 488 - 449: Gene Detector
However, when this group of Neanderthals saw Zhao Rong standing before them, they immediately began to mock him.
"Human, you’re about to die, and you still dare to stand there and act tough? Watch as we kill you one by one, skewer you on sticks, roast you, and then eat you slowly..."
When Zhao Rong heard that this group of Neanderthals were also cannibals, he immediately pulled the trigger. As he fired, the entire charging group of Neanderthals was gunned down. In about a minute, he had wiped out all one hundred of them.
When the cannibal chief and his tribe saw that Zhao Rong had single-handedly killed the impossibly formidable Neanderthals, they immediately dropped to their knees and began to worship him. "Man from the future, you are truly our god..."
Zhao Rong helped the kneeling cannibals to their feet and said, "Now, take me to the Neanderthals’ lair. I want to wipe them all out.
"Otherwise, I’m afraid the remaining ones will kill you all after we leave. If that happens, humanity will have no ancestors, and of course, we would cease to exist..."
So, the cannibal chief led Zhao Rong to the Neanderthal caves on the other side of the mountain.
When Zhao Rong arrived and saw the ground littered with human skeletons, skulls, and women tied to trees, he was consumed by a burning rage. He immediately raised his Dinosaur-Killer Gun and killed every Neanderthal he could see, regardless of age or gender.
In roughly three minutes, Zhao Rong had driven the entire Neanderthal race to extinction.
Only after killing all the Neanderthals did he realize the implications of his actions. He now understood that the cause of the Neanderthal extinction depicted in BBC documentaries wasn’t our cannibalistic human ancestors. Instead, it was him—a man named Zhao Rong who had traveled from 2018 to the Cretaceous period and exterminated them with a high-tech weapon called the Dinosaur-Killer Gun.
After dealing with the Neanderthals, Zhao Rong put away his weapon and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "I never thought I’d accidentally do something so significant..."
Lili gave him a thumbs-up. "Brother Zhao Rong, if you hadn’t killed these Neanderthals, I think our ancestors would have been killed by them. In that case, we humans wouldn’t exist in 2018..."
Yu Lan, her imagination running wild, offered her own theory. "Brother Zhao Rong, if you hadn’t traveled from the future to kill these Neanderthals, maybe the future wouldn’t be populated by humans at all, but by highly evolved Neanderthals..."
Xuelian also affirmed his actions, saying, "Compared to our primitive ancestors, Neanderthals were taller, stronger, and more robust. In a battle against humans, they definitely would have won. For our species to evolve into modern humans, they had to be eliminated..."
Meanwhile, the assistant picked up a Neanderthal skull and placed it in his backpack. "What’s rare is valuable. Aren’t Neanderthals already extinct? I’m going to take this skull back to the future. Who knows, I might be able to sell it for a huge sum of money and strike it rich..."
With that, the assistant burst into loud laughter.
Just then, the cannibal chief and his tribesmen returned, having rescued all the women abducted by the Neanderthals. They also brought back all the stolen food.
However, something unexpected caught Zhao Rong’s eye. Among the rescued women, several were pregnant, and one of them was on the verge of giving birth.
Zhao Rong couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath, muttering to himself, "Holy crap, no way... So it’s true that human DNA contains a portion of Neanderthal genes."
Lili asked in confusion, "Brother Zhao Rong, what do you mean by that? How could we possibly have genes from such ugly Neanderthals?"
Zhao Rong explained, "Miss Lili, look. Among the rescued women, several are pregnant, and one of them is about to go into labor. You can imagine that when these children are born, grow up, and eventually marry other humans and have children, their genetic code will inevitably carry a portion of Neanderthal DNA..."
Hearing this, the assistant walked over, unconvinced, and immediately refuted Zhao Rong’s judgment. "Brother Zhao Rong, what nonsense are you spouting? How could human genes possibly contain Neanderthal genes? If someone had Neanderthal genes, they might as well just kill themselves, right?"
Hearing the assistant’s brazen words, Zhao Rong rebuked him. "Assistant, you need to watch your mouth. Be careful, you might carry Neanderthal genes yourself..."
The assistant puffed out his chest and pointed at Zhao Rong defiantly. "I am a pure-blooded human! If my genes contain any trace of Neanderthal DNA, I’ll disembowel myself right here in front of everyone!"
Before the assistant could finish speaking, Zhao Rong bought a device from the Paradise Shopping Cart that could detect Neanderthal genes. The machine was simply called the Neanderthal Gene Detector.
With the detector in hand, Zhao Rong took a drop of blood from the assistant and used the machine to analyze his genes. After a thorough analysis, comparison, and rigorous scientific verification, the results were in.
Zhao Rong had originally thought it unlikely for the assistant to carry Neanderthal genes. After all, such genes were exceedingly rare throughout the long river of history.
However, to Zhao Rong’s astonishment, the Neanderthal Gene Detector revealed that the assistant’s genetic code not only contained Neanderthal DNA, but the percentage was as high as a staggering 20%.
When the assistant saw the proof that he truly possessed Neanderthal genes, he fainted on the spot. Frothing at the mouth, he mumbled, "Damn it... Of all the genes I could have, why did it have to be from those savages..."
