The Path of Evolution

When Zhao Hao first came to the Neutral Land, he only saw a lake in the village with what seemed to be a small island on the lake. Apart from this, he had no other impression. At that time, his level was too low to see the mystery of the island.

One moment and another, now he and Weiwei are both top mutant powerhouses, their vision has been greatly improved, and the things they can see are different from before.

Looking around, Zhao Hao saw a wooden house on the small island in the middle of the lake.

The wooden house was very simple and had a simple atmosphere, like a wooden house in a landscape painting.

What really caught the attention of the young couple was a tree next to the wooden house.

The shape of the tree is very similar to that of an ordinary oak tree, but the difference lies in the "fruits" produced on the tree.

The reason why I put it in quotation marks is because the things produced on the tree are really beyond common sense. Zhao Hao vaguely saw that under the cover of leaves, some "fruits" were like a sword, some were like a spear, some were like a tomahawk, and some were like a sledgehammer...

"Am I dazzled? Are those weapons artificially hung decorations, just like Christmas trees?" Xuewei rubbed her big eyes in a cute manner, looking a little silly.

"No, you are not dazzled." Zhao Hao suddenly became professional. It was rare for him to show off in front of his knowledgeable girlfriend. He coaxed: "This kind of thing is called an evolutionary seed, and it can produce very unscientific things. .The proprietress of Ice and Snow Castle has a wonderful eight-treasure tree, and eight golden treasure boxes are born on the tree. I remember the proprietress mentioned it. She said that the cows and pigeons in the Neutral Land also have an evolutionary seed, which must be the island. Climb that weird tree."

"Could this treasure appraisal conference be related to that tree?" Xuewei said.

"It's very possible that we'll know in a few days." Zhao Hao was not in a hurry. When he bought the house, Xuelian Qian warned Wan that the island in the middle of the lake was a restricted area in a neutral land and told him not to trespass.

Just sitting together like this, time passed quietly.

Zhao Hao gradually became absent-minded, as if he had something on his mind.

"What are you thinking about?" Weiwei asked.

"I originally thought it would be very satisfying to realize my dream. After sitting here for a long time, I suddenly felt very disappointed." Zhao Hao felt lost: "The two of us are sitting here enjoying it. Our parents are still worried in China. Isn't this too rude? ?”

"Well, my mother is not in good health. Qing'er came in, and I came in with a fever. I don't dare to think about what my mother has become now." Xuewei also became disappointed: "Although this paradise-like place is nice , but it is not a place where we can live for a long time. Unless we can go back, let our parents feel at ease first."

"Yeah, if we can go back, open a nearby teleportation array, and take our parents here to travel, it will be a real enjoyment. Now living here, I feel very awkward and can't explain how it feels." Zhao Hao After months of struggling to survive, what he wants most now is to go home.

This wish has the possibility of coming true at dusk.

When the sun hung over the mountains, Zhao Hao and Xuewei went to the restaurant in the village.

In the private seats on the second floor, Wang Xiaolong and Xie Ke, representing the Self-Strengthening Group, came as promised. Only two guardians of the neutral ground came, namely Lao Miao and Xuelian. After a while of polite greetings, Zhao Hao went straight to the topic and told the story he heard from Dr. A, focusing on the Canglong Effect.

When Qin Sheng and others heard the news, they all became excited.

But the four people here were very strange, and their reactions were surprisingly cold. Xuelian and Lao Miao were well-informed and it was understandable that their performance was mediocre, but Wang Xiaolong and Xie Ke were also as calm as water, which was puzzling.

Zhao Hao hit a soft nail and said, "Do you think I'm bragging?"

"No, Brother Zhao, we can trust you." Wang Xiaolong said vaguely: "But we have to consider the matter of going back in the long term."

Zhao Hao felt that there was something in the other party's words: "What does long-term planning mean?"

"Forget it, let me tell you." Lao Miao put down his chopsticks and asked a question: "Little brother, answer me a question first, why should I go back?"

Zhao Hao was confused: "You don't want to go back?"

"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't." Lao Miao looked a little sad and angry, and told a story: "I used to set up a street stall in China to do a small business, and an urban management officer rushed over and smashed my stall. I was so angry at the time. I pushed him. Unexpectedly, I accidentally pushed the city manager into the middle of the road, and a car just happened to drive over and hit him to death..."

After a pause, Lao Miao's expression was extremely bitter: "I will definitely be sentenced when I go back. If the other party has a back-up, they might give me the death penalty. Do you think I can still go back?"

Zhao Hao was speechless. He and Xuewei were clean and could reunite with their families when they returned home. They never thought that some people had criminal records. For people like Lao Miao who have committed murder cases, returning home will be a disaster.

He refused to give up and said: "I didn't say we would go back in a big way. As long as we open the teleportation array and quietly go home to see our relatives, wouldn't it be good? With your current abilities, the police can't catch you."

"Brother Zhao, you are still young and do not understand the system." Wang Xiaolong spoke: "I used to be considered a member of the system. If the situation is as you said, I am sure that one hundred teleportation arrays in the country have set up security checks. , it is very likely to be guarded by special forces. That kind of security check is stricter than that of an airport. Anyone who walks out of the light beam will definitely be interrogated, and those with criminal records will be arrested on the spot."

"Captain Wang is right, that is the consistent routine from above." Lao Miao took over the words and said: "No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of guns and cannons. We can't openly fight with the police and the army, right? When the time comes Not only will I suffer, but my relatives and friends will also suffer. Rather than doing this, I would rather retire in this village."

Zhao Hao said in surprise: "Captain Wang, you were born in the military and your roots are flourishing. Why don't you want to go back?"

"It's hard to put it into words. I'm no longer a soldier." Wang Xiaolong sighed and didn't want to elaborate.

"Let me tell you about my situation." Xue Lian spoke up: "You must have heard that the direct descendants of the Xue family have no choice but to decide on their own marriages. My family wanted to marry me to the person I hate the most. I couldn't think of it at the time. I ran into the colorful beam of light. Now I am living a good life, I don’t have to bear the responsibilities that I shouldn’t have to bear in the first place, and I don’t want to go back.”

As the ancients said, everyone has his or her own ambitions.

At this moment, Zhao Hao understood the true meaning of this idiom.

Once upon a time, he thought everyone was as eager to go back as he was, which fully demonstrated that he was too young and too naive. It can be said that 60% of the people who came to the evolutionary world in the early days have criminal records like Lao Miao. They will be sentenced when they go back, so they might as well continue to live in the evolutionary world. In addition, there are some people who, like Xuelian, do not want to go back at all due to certain difficulties.

Has anyone tried reading with me? My child was struggling to finish his homework until nine o'clock in the evening. I can't even measure the area of ​​​​my psychological shadow tonight. Is it necessary for primary school students to have so much homework now?
