The Path of Evolution

Two snipers lurking in the darkness each aimed at one person and opened fire at the same time.

The large-caliber sniper rifle in their hands is the legendary M200. It can shoot at a distance of up to 2,500 yards (2,286 meters) with an accuracy of less than 1 arc minute. It is said to have the longest range among all modern sniper rifles. Role.

boom!

The dull sound of gunshots sounded, accompanied by Jiawen's screams.

His mutated armor could no longer withstand it, and a big hole opened in his back.

Xin Zhao was in better condition. At the critical moment, he flapped his wings and twisted, but the other sniper missed him.

Even so, Jiawen, who was shot, failed to hold on to his companions and fell from mid-air, landing on the ground and being bruised and bloody.

"You wait!"

Xin Zhao's eyes in the air were blood red, and he let out an indescribable roar of grief.

He continued to transform in the air, flew to the top of a hill, immediately circled in, and quickly disappeared without a trace.

"Shit!"

The squad leader cursed loudly, saying he didn't want to see such an ending.

Galen and Jarvan were already dead, and no oil or water had been fished out. The soldiers next to them were also very disappointed.

Zhao Hao's face turned pale in the dark, and his whole body was soaked in cold sweat.

This time he accidentally watched the excitement and came to two conclusions.

First: Under the fire cover of modern weapons, it is difficult for evolved people to rush in and fight in close combat.

Second: Heavy sniper rifle, capable of penetrating mutant-level armor.

These two conclusions lead to a third survival conclusion: where modern weapons can be used, mutant-level evolvers cannot defeat ordinary people with firearms. They are invincible and can only be outmaneuvered.

Recalling the tragic deaths of Galen and Jiawen, Zhao Hao felt as if a rabbit had died and a fox had died.

He vaguely guessed a possibility: the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and talented people emerge from generation to generation.

At the beginning, the Guitou Gang was also the dominant force in the Endless Forest. Due to the rise of the white-haired sword demon, the Guitou Gang became a historical term.

Longhutang and the European and American teams once dominated the Ice and Snow Castle. After the Icefield War, the Ice and Snow Castle was reshuffled.

In the same way, the once harmonious Valley of Flames may have undergone a reshuffle after this group of soldiers armed with modern weapons moved in. The information Zhao Hao heard from Qin Sheng and Mr. Zhuang was already out of date. Doesn't work anymore.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

The situation in this world is ever-changing and unpredictable.

"This ghost place is too abnormal. I might as well go back to the Endless Forest and go to a neutral place to ask Lao Miao what is going on."

Zhao Hao's thoughts suddenly changed and he canceled his original plan to enter the inner valley.

He tiptoed back the way he came, secretly observing the positions of the two snipers.

After taking a few steps, he suddenly felt a chill all over his body.

Four soldiers appeared out of nowhere and aimed their guns at him.

Looking at the dark muzzle of the gun, Zhao Hao was thinking. The reconnaissance methods of these soldiers were too professional. How did they discover him?

At this moment, he faced a choice: go all out and be tough, or pretend to be a grandson?

"Who-are-you?"

A foreign soldier aimed his gun at Zhao Hao's head and asked coldly.

Zhao Hao looked frightened and said weakly: "Can you speak Chinese?"

The foreigner waved, and the squad leader and two squad leaders from afar came over.

One of the Chinese monitors looked at Zhao Hao and asked, "Chinese?"

Zhao Hao felt as excited as a fellow countryman seeing a fellow countryman, and nodded quickly: "Yes, you too?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" The Chinese squad leader completely ignored the friendship between his compatriots and coolly took out his pistol and pointed it at Zhao Hao. He said coldly: "I'm going to ask you a few questions. You must answer them truthfully, otherwise I will kill you with my own hands!"

Regardless of whether Zhao Haotong disagreed, he started to ask questions: "What is your name, what do you do originally, and how long have you been in the evolutionary world?"

"My name is Zhao Hao. I am a college student. I have just arrived." Zhao Hao is very honest. The phrase "I have just arrived" is his answer after careful consideration. The so-called "just arrived" may be a few days or a few months.

The Chinese squad leader said again: "Hand over everything you have on you."

With a sad look on his face, Zhao Hao put his hiking bag and Nighthawk flat blade on the ground and took two steps back.

The other party picked up the mountaineering bag and examined it carefully. There were some cans and biscuits inside. Bi Dejin's diary had already been given to Zhang Dekai, but the soldiers could not find anything informative in the bag.

"You want to die, I'll help you!" The squad leader deliberately pulled the safety of the pistol, pretending to shoot, and said sternly: "I want a combat uniform, why are you giving me this garbage?"

Zhao Hao looked at the other party in confusion: "What is the battle uniform?"

There were several people present who could understand Chinese. They looked at each other and observed Zhao Hao's reaction.

To be honest, Zhao Ritian, with his T-shirt, jeans, and basketball shoes, and his body stained with dust and sweat, looks like a newbie who has just stepped into the world of evolution. In addition, his internal injuries have not healed, his spirit is depressed, and he does not have the aura of a powerful evolver at all. The more he looks, the more he looks like a rookie who has just arrived and was frightened by this world.

Several leaders discussed in foreign languages, and a squad leader said: "There is no use keeping this kind of trash, let's kill it."

Another squad leader said: "Looking at his strong body, it would be a good idea to send him to work as a miner. We are short of people now."

The leader, who should be the platoon leader, pondered for a moment and said, "Throw him to Mine No. 3."

With the leader's words, Zhao Hao's fate was decided.

The Chinese squad leader led several soldiers and escorted Zhao Hao into the inner valley.

More than an hour later, Zhao Hao saw the famous Flame Valley Mine.

One of the mines was opened on the mountain wall. The entrance was not big, and it was pitch black inside. It was unknown how far it extended. The Chinese squad leader threw a mining pick and said indifferently: "From now on, you are responsible for mining. Listen up, ten elementary flame crystals can be exchanged for a portion of food and drinking water. This is the most basic requirement for you. If If you can’t do it, it’s my fault if you starve to death or die of thirst.”

With that said, he pushed Zhao Hao into the mine.

Zhao Hao panicked and was about to rush out when he saw the dark muzzle of the gun.

He gave up on the spot and reluctantly walked inside with his mining hoe.

Seeing the "rookie" go into the depths of the mine in disgrace, several soldiers gloated and laughed. After all, Zhao Hao's hiking bag was confiscated. If he wanted to survive, he could only dig hard every day. These soldiers did not need to beat or scold him. People who entered the mine had to obey for the sake of food and water.

What's even more cruel is that there is only one exit in Mine No. 3. Those who go in will either die inside, or they will just dig out the flame crystals and come out to fight. There is no third possibility. These soldiers of unknown origin only need to guard the entrance of the cave to reap the benefits.

But at this moment, Zhao Hao found the third possibility.

He has no shortage of food and water. The top priority is to heal his injuries first and then find a way to counterattack.

At first, he was worried that the mine was not deep enough for him to stay there for a long time, but as he continued to walk inside, he became more and more excited. I don’t know how many ancestors dug this mine, and I haven’t reached the end even after walking for a long time. Moreover, there was a fork inside, so Zhao Hao became bolder. He took out the lighting crystal from the Lion Heart Bracelet and headed towards the tunnel that he found more pleasing to the eye.
