Global Wasteland: My Evolutionary Path

"Uncle, why don't you speak?"

"I want to be quiet."

"..."

In this way, the two of them, one large and one small, walked and chatted. After about twenty minutes, they arrived at the foot of a huge tree.

The root of the giant tree is one foot thick, and its tall and straight trunk reaches into the sky. Although it died long ago, you can still imagine its former lush foliage from its huge branches.

The old man Chu Huan met last night was sitting under the tree.

When she saw the old man, Little Bell jumped directly into his arms, and then handed over the food in his hand.

The old man took a small bite of the biscuit and pinched Little Lingdang's face with a doting look on his face: "You can play by yourself for a while while I chat with this uncle."

Little Bell nodded obediently, put the food and drink aside, and then climbed up the giant tree using both hands and feet.

Looking at Xiao Lingdang's vigorous skills, Chu Huan felt a little inferior to himself. When he was a child, he climbed trees and dug out bird's nests, but that was all.

Little Bell climbed ten meters, and then stopped at a waist-thick tree branch. Seeing Chu Huan looking at her, she smiled and waved, then stood up and walked towards the tree trunk.

There is a tree hole there that is not easy to be noticed. If Little Bell hadn't walked into the tree hole, Chu Huan would not have discovered it.

Resisting the idea of ​​going up to find out what was going on, Chu Huan looked at the old man.

"Do you think I'm cold-blooded and cruel?" Seeing Chu Huan looking at him, the old man asked Chu Huan's gaze.

Chu Huan had a panoramic view of the scene last night. He understood that the old man should have difficulties, but in life...who doesn't have unspeakable difficulties and regrets?

Especially in this era when human life is inherently worthless.

"Why do you do that?" Chu Huan couldn't help but ask.

"We resisted before but failed."

The old man did not answer Chu Huan's question directly, but looked at the dead tree: "I was born in the ancient city and have lived here for more than sixty years."

"I want to leave this place more than anyone else."

"Can't leave."

"We are God's forsaken people."

There is so much nonsense... Chu Huan complained in his heart.

He didn't speak, just waited quietly for the old man to continue speaking.

"Six months ago, the mutated bat came here. He asked us to move out of the ancient city and provide him with food every month. Otherwise, he would kill us all."

"We fought with him several times, but apart from his ability to fly, he didn't have any great abilities."

"Until one day when we were about to win, a person appeared..." The old man said with a trembling voice: "No, maybe he is not a human being. He... we were defeated."

"Then we all moved under this giant tree."

"The giant tree used to have lush branches and leaves, and the roots under the tree were all around this place, which just gave us the conditions to live in caves."

As he spoke, he reached out and touched the tree trunk, as if he was seeing an old friend for many years.

"Who is with the mutated bat?" Chu Huan asked a topic that he was more concerned about.

The old man shook his head: "It doesn't look like a person, more like a giant lizard."

"It's not all monitor lizards, there should be other mutated genes."

The old man fell into deep thought and looked a little horrified: "We lost nearly twenty people in that battle."

"In order to survive, we have to prepare one person for the mutants every month."

"My tribe now has less than a hundred people."

"Perhaps it won't be long before we are all dead."

"Why don't you leave?" Chu Huan was a little confused.

"Where can we go if we leave?" The old man said with a wry smile: "The ruined city has almost become the territory of mutants. Going there will be a dead end."

"To other continents?"

"Other continents..." A trace of longing appeared on the old man's face: "Yes, you can go to other continents. What are you going to do?"

"These three words Dahuangzhou will make people avoid them, right?"

Chu Huan understood a little. In recent years, when people mention Dahuang Continent, they will think of darkness, filth, etc. He has lived in Yongan for so long, and he has never heard of anyone from Dahuang Continent coming or having people from Dahuang Continent.

Living in Yong'an is just a matter of deliberately not mentioning one's birth status.

Thinking of his origin, Chu Huan knew that the household registration system in each of the four continents of Wangyue Continent is different. Just like the Yongan household registration system is one guarantee for ten households, people in Dahuang Continent want to obtain the new identity of Yongan, and not only need money.

This is because one more person means one more vote.

It doesn't matter if there are ten or eight, but what if there are tens of thousands of immigrants, so Yongan has many requirements for settling in Yongan.

"What do you do with your usual food and drink?" Chu Huan asked a key question. In a deserted world like the Dahuang Continent, the most ordinary food and drink has become the most critical issue here.

"Wangyue Ancient City is the earliest city in Wangyue Continent...there are many secrets here."

"Before it became ruins, there was a lot of food stored underground here. Although it was a little moldy, it wouldn't kill anyone."

"There is just no water. I usually go to the ruined city to buy or rob water."

"Did you hear Little Bell say you are waiting for the savior?"

Hearing Chu Huan's question, the old man turned to look at him: "There is an ancient fable circulating here."

"When the rivers stop flowing, when the earth is lifeless, and when night comes, then the fires begin to spread without extinguishment, and scourges and beasts begin to appear one after another."

"When the ocean roars to its peak, when the earth begins to fall apart, ferocious beasts will eat away at humans."

"There was darkness in heaven and earth, and the world on earth was like hell, and then the savior came from the east."

"The savior is covered with golden light, and the golden light illuminates the dark night."

"He drives away evil spirits, disperses darkness, and saves the common people."

"Ferocious beasts no longer appear, kind people survive, and the Savior makes spring warm, summer hot, autumn bleak, and winter cold."

"He leads mankind into the future and creates a world filled with only love and kindness."

"People travel through the stars, walk in the sea, and live forever at the end of time."

"This is a story that every person in the Wilderness Continent has heard since childhood, but no one mentions it anymore."

"I am telling Little Lingdang this just to make her feel hopeful."

At the end of the story, the old man could not be heard, with a look of shame on his face. To this day, I am afraid that he also knows that the so-called fable is just people's hope for a better life.

This is a fable, this is simply a fairy tale. This is what Chu Huan thought after listening to the old man's words.

Rather than saying it is people's expectations for the future in a dark world, it is better to say it is a kind of comfort for people's current living environment.

But thinking of the little star still sleeping in his mind, Chu Huan didn't know how much unknown there was in this world.

Just like this ancient city that has been sleeping for nearly a thousand years.

How many secrets are buried?

Just as Chu Huan was thinking about it, the old man suddenly looked at Chu Huan and asked, "Where are you from?"

"Dajiangzhou, Peiguo."

"Pei Country..." The old man had heard of this eastern country. Just when he was about to ask more questions, a burst of crying suddenly came from the tree.

Hearing the cry, the old man looked sad.

Chu Huan understood immediately.

He couldn't help feeling a little disgusted with this place in his heart.

Why is the world what it is now?

Whose fault is it?
