The Path of Evolution

Ten people hugged each other in the towering tree, its branches and leaves covering the sky and the sun.

Such trees are everywhere, forming an endless virgin forest.

In an inconspicuous corner of the jungle, Zhao Hao looked confused.

"Does this count as traveling to another world?"

Zhao Hao gasped and looked around.

He has parents, friends, and the school beauty, so he cannot accept the setting of time travel.

Carefully recalling the feeling when he walked into the light pillar, Zhao Hao had a strange feeling. It should be a kind of space teleportation. According to online posts, the number of people around the world who have entered the colorful beam of light exceeds 100 million. To say that this is time travel would be too exaggerated. It would not lead to such a large-scale group time travel, right?

"Since it can be teleported here, can it also be teleported back? Maybe this is a two-dimensional space."

Zhao Hao tried to stay calm and thought about a slim possibility.

He checked his belongings and had more than a hundred words in his mind, but he didn't know whether to say them or not.

Normally, people who enter the colorful light pillar are fully prepared. Food, water, and a change of clothes are essential items. Slightly more advanced people also prepare various adventure props, including weapons such as knives and guns.

And Zhao Hao... it was a trip that just happened to go!

All his belongings are as follows: a mobile phone, a box of cigarettes, a lighter, and 500 yuan in cash.

The mobile phone can be used, but there is no signal or network. It can only be used to take pictures or listen to music.

A lighter can also be used. Zhao Hao lit a cigarette and thought about life.

The feeling of hunger in his stomach made him shed tears before he could speak.

Let alone whether we can get out of this virgin forest, just the question of filling our stomachs is already overwhelming.

"Woof woof!"

A big black dog ran over from a distance and rubbed Zhao Hao's trouser legs affectionately.

"Big black!"

Zhao Hao was overjoyed and felt a sense of intimacy like meeting an old friend in a foreign country.

Weiwei likes small animals very much. A year ago, Zhao Hao and his girlfriend adopted this stray dog ​​of unknown breed. Coming to this unknown world, Dahei still refused to leave, and Zhao Hao was infinitely moved.

"Woof!"

Dahei tugged on Zhao Hao's trousers, as if trying to pull him somewhere.

The spiritual sense of animals far exceeds that of humans. Zhao Hao chose to trust Dahei and walked in the designated direction.

Ten minutes later, one person and one dog arrived at their destination.

There is a clearing in the forest ahead, with fallen leaves in a mess, and there are signs of a battle. Torn pieces of clothing were scattered nearby, and a pair of brand-name hiking boots fell on the ground, with the bloody soles of human feet exposed inside.

hiss!

Zhao Hao took a breath of cold air, and the hair on his body stood up.

He didn't see the battle scene, but he could imagine how tragic the battle was. There is no doubt that a human being was attacked by an unknown creature and torn to pieces, with only the soles of his feet protected by hard hiking boots still intact.

Zhao Hao even suspected that the deceased was not only killed, but probably eaten by unknown creatures!

An inexplicable feeling of uneasiness surged into his heart, and Zhao Hao quickly picked up a machete in the open space.

That machete has a lot of history. It was the famous jungle machete used by the US military during the Vietnam War. It was eighteen inches long, so it was called the Eighteen Chop. Due to its excellent practicality, this knife is still loved and respected by wilderness survival and knife enthusiasts all over the world. Judging from this knife, the deceased was a relatively professional wilderness explorer during his lifetime.

Zhao Hao was under great pressure, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

Even a professional like this dies with only two soles of his feet left, so how many days can he survive?

He had an intuition that the creature that killed the wild adventurer was definitely not a human being.

The fear came from the unknown. Zhao Hao couldn't imagine what it was that was hunting that man.

"Woof!"

Dahei yelled again, rushed to the foot of a big tree and jumped hard.

Zhao Hao took a closer look and saw that there was a huge tree hole three meters above the ground.

He held the eighteen chops tightly and walked under the tree hole.

After carefully looking around for a while, Zhao Hao inserted the machete into the ground and tried to climb the big tree.

At this moment, Zhao Hao, known as the devil's muscular man on the court, showed off his physical advantages. With amazing jumping ability, he jumped up, grabbed the edge of the tree hole with both hands, and climbed in easily.

The tree hole is very large, and there is a bulging mountaineering bag inside.

As soon as Zhao Hao opened the baggage, his eyes suddenly became wet.

"Brother, it's fate!"

No matter who the original owner of the hiking bag is, Zhao Hao just wants to express his sincere gratitude at this moment.

In the hiking bag, there were biscuits, cans, mineral water, compass, lighter, flashlight, and Swiss Army knife, which were the things Zhao Hao needed most at the moment. In addition, there are two sets of sportswear in the backpack, two pairs of brand new underwear that have not yet been opened, and two pairs of new socks that have also not had their outer packaging removed.

Looking further down, Zhao Hao deeply felt the professionalism of the original owner of the mountaineering bag.

He took out a simple medical kit the size of a book, which contained disinfectant alcohol, bandages, band-aids and other emergency supplies. In another plastic box, there is a bottle of shampoo and two bars of soap. There are also several iron boxes shaped like cigarette boxes, filled with picnic condiments such as salt and chicken essence.

Zhao Hao took out a watch from his hiking bag. It not only showed the time, but also the year, month and day. After carefully looking at the shelf life of the biscuits, Zhao Hao became rude on the spot and opened a box of biscuits and wolfed them down.

After eating and drinking, Zhao Hao took out his compass and tried to find a direction out of the primeval forest.

Soon he was dumbfounded. The needle of the compass was turning randomly and could not point out a clear direction at all.

"Calm down, brother, you must be calm!"

Zhao Hao forced himself to calm down and took a deep breath.

He found a ball pen and a palm-sized diary from the side pocket of his hiking bag.

"It's amazing, my brother, why are you so sharp? You can actually learn from your uncle to keep a diary!"

Zhao Hao opened the diary and was quickly attracted by the contents.

The further he looked back, the more solemn his expression became.

"On December 14, 2013, I struggled for a year, and finally couldn't help but step into the colorful light pillars. What is in those light pillars? I don't know, and I don't care. I have no love in my life. The awareness of mortality.”

"On December 15, 2013, I came to a brand new world. This is a virgin forest, which is larger than any nature reserve I have ever been to. The magnetic field here is disordered and the compass cannot be used normally. I don't know why. There was an inexplicable fear in my heart.”

"On December 18, 2013, this so-called evolutionary world is really incredible! I saw two strange beasts. After one beast devoured the other beast, it actually changed. I clearly felt that it was becoming Powerful. Could it be that the [evolution path] conveyed by that thought refers to evolution through constant killing and devouring?"

"December 24, 2013, hell, even the plants in this world are alive! What I mean by 'alive' is not the vitality of the plants, but that they can attack humans and animals like piranha! Today I met When I arrived at the first human compatriot, before I had time to say hello to him, I witnessed him being entangled in a tree vine. The strange tree vine strangled him and covered him with blood, frantically absorbing his flesh and blood and vitality. Within a few minutes, He turned into a mummy, and finally even the bones and skin were swallowed up by the tree vine... I am very afraid that this Christmas Eve will not be peaceful at all."

"On December 27, 2013, I didn't expect that a bird flying above would suddenly attack me. I was poisoned... This toxin is terrible. I seemed to feel the call of death. Half of the food was left. I put it in a tree hole, hoping to help the humans who pass by this place in the future..."

"On December 28, 2013, are you about to die? How unwilling! I saw a giant wolf. Strangely, I had the urge to fight it, as if there was something in its body that attracted me. Left and right If it is death, let me die with honor! Goodbye, Dekai, my love."
