The Path of Evolution

"Ritian, what's wrong with you?"

"Didn't you go out to relax? Why do you look so ugly?"

When Zhao Hao returned to the ancient city, a group of bereaved friends gathered to greet him.

His expression looked like he was constipated, and there was a layer of black lines covering his body.

"Ritian, have you gone to see the fairy sister? You agreed to hand over the love letter. I have begged you eight hundred times. Have you helped me give her the love letter?" Qin Sheng also came over. , hitting the knife edge.

"Get lost!" Zhao Hao roared: "Whoever asks me to hand over a love letter again, I will beat him to death!"

Everyone was shocked. They had seen Zhao Ritian look crazy, but they had never seen him so angry.

Everyone could see that Zhao Hao was holding a fire in his heart, but no one knew why.

Zhao Hao closed the door to rest alone, and no one tried to trouble him again.

"It turns out that I don't have a crush on her, but she has a crush on me. What's going on with Sister Lu? Why did she suddenly become so good? Is she deliberately teasing me? Forget it, there's no need to go into details. It's still too early for me to ascend. Even so. Even if you ascend, you may not be able to meet her..."

Zhao Hao calmed down and gradually calmed down.

He must remain calm, otherwise his inner demons will take advantage of him.

After changing into the casual clothes and basketball shoes brought by his sister-in-law, which fit well, Zhao Hao took out three more things from the storage ring.

I remember when he first entered the evolutionary world, he only brought three items: a lighter, a mobile phone, and five hundred yuan in cash.

Zhao Hao collected all these things and kept them as souvenirs.

The lighter had long since run out of gas and was declared scrapped.

The phone has also run out of battery a long time ago, and I don’t know if it will work properly when I return to Earth.

As for those five pieces of Mao Zedong, they are hard currency when they return to China.

After packing up, Zhao Hao told his friends a few words and walked into the colorful light pillar alone.

At that moment, Zhao Hao had mixed feelings.

It has been more than a year and a half since I came to the evolutionary world, and I am finally going home.

Walking into the colorful light pillar in the ancient desert city, Zhao Hao felt his eyes blurred and his body was involved in a twisted space. He still remembered that feeling. It was this feeling when he rushed into the colorful light pillar in the center of Zhonghai City.

When Zhao Hao opened his eyes, his body trembled involuntarily.

A familiar smell came to my face.

That's the smell of hometown.

That is the taste of the motherland.

I saw a colorful light pillar rising into the sky. Around the light pillar, a building similar to an airport waiting hall was built artificially. Zhao Hao stood a few meters away from the light beam, watching all this in despair.

Countless emotions surged into my heart at this moment.

After being in a daze for five minutes, Zhao Hao walked towards the entrance.

China's security check is indeed known as the strictest in the world. The first security check is heavily guarded. Rows of special police wearing body armor and holding assault rifles are quite intimidating.

Zhao Hao stood in the long queue in front of the security check and observed silently. The Nine Heavens and Chaos Sutra in the body can operate normally, but the various battle outfits are sealed, and the storage ring cannot be used.

"Is there anyone who has come back for the first time? Let me tell you the rules. Hand over all firearms, ammunition, and controlled knives. No matter how you got these prohibited items from the evolutionary world, you are not allowed to bring them back into the country." A loud security check personnel, reminding "newbies" like Zhao Hao who are returning to China for the first time.

After waiting for half an hour, Zhao Hao passed the first security check empty-handed.

His cell phone and five sheets of Mao Zedong were still there, but the lighter was confiscated by the organization.

In the second security check, you need to check your documents and verify your identity.

Zhao Hao had nothing, but fortunately he remembered his ID number. The security personnel found him in the student archives of Zhonghai University and found his game videos, verified his identity, and let him go to the third security check.

The third security check is highly targeted.

Chinese citizens who have been in and out of the Colorful Light Pillar for a long time will get a pass and swipe their card to pass the customs without going through the third security check. People like Zhao Hao who have been missing for more than a year and suddenly return to China need to undergo strict interrogation.

He was taken to an interrogation room. At first, only two staff members questioned him. Once they heard that he was a mutant evolver, the number of staff members suddenly increased to four, and more than a dozen special police officers surrounded the interrogation room.

Zhao Hao was very at ease, he told everything that needed to be told, and kept everything that needed to be kept secret.

After interrogating him for two hours, a middle-aged uncle who looked like a small leader gave him a temporary pass: "This temporary pass allows you to enter and exit the Seven Colorful Light Pillar within a month. After we verify the situation, we will give it to you." Official pass.”

After a pause, the middle-aged uncle added: "Mr. Zhao, you have broken through to the mutant level at a young age and your future is limitless. I hope you will do more things that benefit the country and the people. Power makes people expand, so don't harm them. If a person harms himself, he will regret it for the rest of his life."

"Thanks for reminding me, I'll take my leave now."

Zhao Hao took the temporary pass and ran away. He was already hungry and thirsty.

After passing the third security check, he finally set foot on that familiar land.

After more than a year, this city has not changed much. The streets and alleys are so friendly.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back!"

Zhao Hao screamed like a spring, completely ignoring the looks of passers-by looking at idiots, and ran towards his home. He was still restrained and did not use small moves, otherwise the speed of crushing Bolt would make the little friends on the road cry.

His home is in a famous residential area in the city center, and he quickly arrived at the door.

The moment he rang the doorbell, Zhao Hao became inexplicably nervous.

I feel even more timid when I'm close to home, and that feeling is indescribable.

In countless nights in the evolutionary world, Zhao Hao had imagined this moment.

Today, the dream has become a reality.

Hearing the footsteps coming from the door, Zhao Hao felt a thousand words welling up in his heart.

The moment the security door opened, he froze on the spot.

A complete stranger, a middle-aged fat aunt, was staring at him angrily: "Who are you looking for?"

Zhao Hao looked around to make sure he was on the right track. This was the home he had lived in for many years, and the probability of making a mistake was almost zero. He looked at the fat aunt in confusion: "Who are you?"

The fat aunt was angry: "Who I am is none of your business. Are you insurance salesmen playing hard-to-get tricks now? Young man, I think you look quite upright. What can you do wrong if you have hands and feet?" Go this way.”

"No... Auntie, this is my home. What are you doing here?" Zhao Hao couldn't laugh or cry.

"Oh, you are the child of the previous resident, right? I heard from the neighbor that you have been missing for more than a year. I bought this house a year ago. You need to find someone to move to another house." The fat aunt exploded A shocking revelation.

There was a buzz in Zhao Hao's head and he asked in shock: "Then where are my parents?"

The fat aunt said impatiently: "Ask me, who should I ask? Go find the property owner yourself or call the police."

"I'm sorry, I have to go in and take a look."

Zhao Hao seriously suspected that his parents had been kidnapped by the fat woman, so he broke in directly.

Taking a closer look, Zhao Hao seemed to have been struck by lightning.

The furniture and furnishings in the house were completely different from what he remembered.

Ignoring the fat aunt's screams and curses, Zhao Hao went straight to the property management office and asked the staff to inquire. The other party only said that Zhao Hao's parents sold the house a year ago, but they didn't know where they moved.

"Dude, calm down, you have to calm down!"

Zhao Hao stood on the street. It was extremely hot in Zhonghai in July, but he felt chilly all over.

"By the way, let's call and ask first."

Zhao Hao found a public phone booth and suddenly felt so ashamed that he couldn't face Mr. Jiangdong.

People in this era save everything in their address books, and many people no longer bother to remember phone numbers. Zhao Hao was this kind of person back then. If he didn't look at his address book, he wouldn't remember his parents' mobile phone numbers at all.

When the book came to use, he found that he couldn't remember his cell phone number. Zhao Hao deeply despised his past self. At that time, he could be called a heterosexual and inhumane person. He could only remember two numbers, one was his own and the other was his. Weiwei's.

"Mobile phone, no, Brother Ji, you must turn it on normally!"

In desperation, Zhao Hao pinned his hopes on the old mobile phone that had been shelved for more than a year.

He found a store and bought a charger and a power bank. After waiting for about ten minutes, Brother Ji finally turned on the phone successfully. Zhao Hao's eyes were filled with tears. He quickly dialed his mother's number and heard a damn voice: "I'm sorry, you have been suspended due to arrears. Since you are looking for a relative, you can use it normally after recharging..."

Zhao Hao looked at the shop owner: "What's the number for finding a bride?"

"Young man, are you back from the evolutionary world?" The store owner was very kind: "The old number in the past will be forcibly canceled if it is in arrears for a few months. Since the establishment of Base No. 1, the country has introduced a new system , the mobile phone number of a missing person is not allowed to be canceled to facilitate the tracing of relatives. This system is very user-friendly, and many netizens like it. Your family should set your number as a family tracing number."

The kind store owner then revealed his harmonious intentions: "You only need to recharge the Xunqin account for 100 yuan before you can use it. I can recharge the phone bill here. How about you recharge 100 yuan first?"

Zhao Hao had no reason to refuse, so he had to top up his phone bill with a hundred yuan.

"Sorry, the number you dialed has been logged out..."

Zhao Hao couldn't wait to call his mother Su Yurong, but heard this prompt tone.

He refused to give up and dialed his father Zhao Zhicheng's number again.

"Sorry, the user you called is not in the service area..."

This notification sound was like a heavy hammer, shattering Zhao Hao's last hope.

He took a deep breath and dialed Qin Sheng's father's number, but couldn't get through either.

"Calm down, don't panic... By the way, let's go to Richeng's house first!"

Zhao Hao took a taxi and went straight to Qin Sheng's former residence. He had been to this place many times and was familiar with the roads. However, when they arrived at their destination, another tragedy occurred. Qin Sheng's parents also sold the house and had disappeared.

In desperation, Zhao Hao dialed a number that he was very reluctant to call.

This time, the call went through smoothly.

A middle-aged man's urgent voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiao Hao, is that you?"

On the last day of 2017, I would like to thank everyone for accompanying me all the way. Here is a year-end summary: Many years ago, I followed my instincts and wrote weekly and monthly magazines. Until I went to Chuangshi, I suddenly didn’t want to see my old self, so I insisted on updating it every day. This year we have returned to the starting point, and Lao Niu has managed to keep up with the second update, and occasionally have small outbursts... In this world, no matter what you do, there will always be people who make irresponsible remarks, but you must be honest.
