In the 3.6 billion-year history of biological evolution on earth, the establishment of human society is an absolute accident and miracle. Because the human brain is much more developed than any other animal, it can more proactively adapt to the development and changes of the environment through actions such as burning fires to keep warm.
In the thousands of years since humans established society, the environment has been greatly transformed, and the mutational evolution of nature has almost stagnated. During this period, humans more often performed the "selection" and "elimination" mechanisms on behalf of nature. Delicious and easy-to-catch creatures soon became extinct, and new invasive species became rampant...
Before the cataclysm broke out, humans had always been the main natural enemy of many creatures. Those species, whether ferocious or docile, have stopped evolving due to the suppression of human groups, and have even lost their habitats, and then gradually become extinct.
And after the "Advent Day" the apocalypse began, human beings suddenly fell from the top of the food chain, and the law of inertia that had been in place for thousands of years was suddenly broken.
The emergence of spore black mist and evolutionary crystal energy completely broke up the restrictive relationship between biological groups.
Whether they are omnivores, carnivores or purely herbivores, they are all biting and devouring each other all the time. Even many plants joined in and became gluttonous killers in this feast.
Here, people can eat sheep, and sheep can also eat people. Green grass is also perfectly capable of killing and "eating" sheep and humans.
Just like in the age of dinosaurs, most mammals were small. Therefore, throughout the Cenozoic Era after the extinction of the dinosaurs, many mammals began to develop to larger sizes to occupy the "ecological niche" left by the extinction of the dinosaurs.
In the apocalypse, after human beings fall from the altar, all kinds of frosts compete for freedom, and the evolutionary directions and evolutionary speeds of different individuals are very different. In this case, anyone can suddenly become a stronger predator, and anyone can reach the highest throne through continuous evolution and even continuous devouring.
This is a completely equal platform. Different organisms share or compete for common resources in the same space, resulting in a large number of "niche overlap" phenomena. In any corner of the earth, in the faint black mist of spores, the fighting has always continued, and it has not stopped since the "Advent Day"...
"Creak."
The sound of shoes crushing dead leaves sounded, but the survivors turned a deaf ear and followed Lang Hua's footsteps silently through the jungle.
The fallen leaves piled on the ground were getting thinner and thinner, and it seemed that they had reached the edge of the jungle.
During the journey after encountering the wolves, they encountered no more danger. Because the mutant monkeys first transformed into corpses and then died together with half of the mutant wolves, the density of creatures in this jungle temporarily decreased, and the survivor team was able to pass through safely.
"despair."
A pair of snow boots with trouser legs stepped out of the jungle and stepped on solid ground. The setting sun slants at dusk, and the warm orange light makes people who have just emerged from the jungle feel a bit dazzling.
"We're here." Lang Hua stood at the head of the team, raised his head to face the sun, and said with narrowed eyes.
After a month's absence since the day of advent, Lang Hua finally returned to his former secret base.
Not far away, you can see a tall city wall and gate. The city wall is more than five meters high and is made of reinforced concrete. The wall is covered with logs, and the logs are densely covered with strong wooden thorns. Outside the city walls, there are all kinds of traps, trenches and trenches, just like a medieval castle during wartime, as if it was created for this apocalypse.
After a long journey, the survivors finally arrived at the destination of their trip. They looked at the majestic base in front of them and felt unreal for a moment.
"Is this a doomsday fortress? I'm not dreaming."
"Hey, pinch me and see if it's true."
"You, you, you... pinch me too."
"Ouch, it hurts. It really does."
…
The base is surrounded by water on three sides. Only the northeast wall stands tall, sitting on a gentle slope, far away from the urban area of Shashi. There are steep cliffs on both sides of the base. It looks like a good place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Lang Hua only explained to the others that this was a villa built by wealthy people, but now it is ownerless. After hearing this, people were naturally relieved. After all, the world of rich people was not something they could imagine. Even if they were too full, it would not be surprising to build a doomsday ark on the spur of the moment.
It's just that... the gate of the base in front of you is closed tightly, and there seems to be some malicious eyes on the city wall.
The next second there was chaos on the city wall, shouting loudly: "An enemy attack, an enemy attack! The corpses are attacking!"
Corpses? Is it them? The evolvers behind Lang Hua were confused.
Looking at the chaotic figures on the city wall, Lin Wenjin hurriedly shouted and explained: "Wait, brother. We are living people!"
"Did you speak? Did the black corpse speak?"
People stumbled to their feet, resting their upper bodies on the battlements, looking down and talking.
"If you are blinded, those people are still alive."
"Ah, there's Lang Hua there, that's... Yang Gong!"
"Quick, go and notify Brother De!"
Seeing that those people were talking a lot but showed no sign of opening the door to greet them, Lang Hua couldn't help but frown.
Lin Wenjin was about to shout something, but was stopped by Lang Hua.
The latter frowned, turned around and said solemnly: "Everyone, please don't act rashly. Find a big tree to hide behind. Don't show your head without my order!"
"yes!"
Just when people were about to hide, a familiar man's voice came from the city wall. The voice sounded trembling, and seemed to be both excited and frightened. Lang Hua looked closely and found that it was Xing Lili's father, Xing Wutian. After not seeing him for more than a month, Xing Wutian's face was covered with stubble and he looked much haggard.
"Xiaohua, is it Xiaohua? Are you really back? Yang Gong, you are here too, and Xiaoxiao..."
"Where's Lily? Xiaoxiao, why didn't Lily come back with you?"
Xing Wutian lay on the wall and looked down, but as his eyes scanned people one by one, he never found his daughter. Gradually, the excitement and expectation in his eyes slowly disappeared, like a flickering candle in the dark night. The firelight was dim, but more panic and panic gradually spread.
"Xiaohua, where is Lily?"
"Remember, Lily is Xiaoxiao's classmate. Before you leave, I ask you to take care of her and bring her back..."
Suddenly, the light in the eyes flickered. Xing Wutian clenched his fists and said hurriedly: "I understand, is she lagging behind? I knew it earlier. Lily has been weak since she was a child, so she must have run at the end. You must be tired from the long journey, I will Open the door to welcome you in..."
Xing Wutian kept talking nonstop, as if he was afraid that Lang Hua would answer.
"No, you can't open the door easily."
"Yeah, at least wait for Brother De to come."
"Don't, don't let this murderer come in, if he finds out..."
There was a lot of discussion on the city wall, and although the sound was small, it could not be hidden from Lang Hua's ears.
Xing Wutian picked up a crossbow and said angrily: "Fuck you, let me see who dares to stop my daughter from entering the city!"
His eyes were bloodshot, like a wild wolf. The others were so frightened that they quickly moved away from the direction where the crossbow was aimed, shouting while dodging back: "Old Xing, calm down, calm down. Take the crossbow away quickly..."
"Xiaohua, come in quickly. I have been looking forward to you bringing Lily back these days..."
Although Lang Hua wanted to get in, he didn't want to deceive this poor man.
"She's dead."
In the blink of an eye, the flame in his eyes went out, and the remaining candle was completely swallowed up by darkness.
Xing Wutian suddenly stiffened and asked him stumblingly: "Who did you say...who died?"
"I'm sorry, I was a little late." Lang Hua recalled the disheveled girl, but could never tell the truth. "There was no pain when she left."
"Lily...Lily is dead. This is impossible, this won't happen. My Lily is still so young and will have a bright life. We still want to see her go to college, find a job, and find someone who loves her." husband……"
Seeing Xing Wutian covering his head in pain, Yang Bensheng couldn't bear to say: "Brother Xing, please show your condolences. The deceased has passed away, you must be stronger."
"No, that's not right." The other party suddenly raised his head, "Xiaoxiao, why are you here? Lily went out to play with you that day, didn't she?"
Yang Xiaoxiao remained silent and did not deny it. If she had insisted on taking Lily away, maybe the latter would not have met such a tragic end. After all, it was them who made the choice between Lin Qian and Xing Lili...
"You are classmates and friends. Tell me... is Lily really dead?"
Yang Xiaoxiao's shoulders suddenly trembled, and Lang Hua grabbed his wrist to prevent him from falling. She hasn't had a drop of water since yesterday, and her body is now weak.
"Yes." Just this word seemed to take away all Yang Xiaoxiao's strength.
"Brother Xing..."
Yang Bensheng hesitated to speak, but Xing Wutian suddenly became angry.
"Yang Bensheng, shut up! Why, why did your child come back alive? But my daughter died! Why weren't you the ones who died?"
He raised his crossbow and pointed it at the people under the city wall. Upon seeing this, Lang Hua stepped in front of Xiaoxiao and Yang Bensheng, looking intently at Xing Wutian without saying a word. He secretly accumulates energy in his hands, and as long as the opponent dares to pull the trigger, he will counterattack as soon as possible.
"You... you, I want you..."
Xing Wutian gasped for air, and after more than thirty seconds of stalemate, he finally put down the repeating crossbow in his hand. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Die, die. If you die early, you will suffer less..." A line of turbid tears streaked down Xing Wutian's dark cheeks.
A few minutes later, a middle-aged man with a big belly appeared on the city wall. Lang Hua looked closely, who could it be if it wasn't Wang De?
"Uncle Wang, what do you mean?" Lang Hua sneered, "Why, you don't welcome me back?"
At this time, several people around Wang De suddenly changed their expressions and started whispering. Wang De glared at them before becoming quiet.
"What are you talking about, Xiaohua?" Wang De said with a smile on his face, "It's not too late for us to be happy that you can come back safely, so naturally we are very welcome."
Lang Hua rolled his eyes and said, "What are you still talking about? Ask Uncle Chen to open the door."
The gate of the base is a square opening in the wall. There are two swing iron doors in the opening. The iron door fits perfectly with the door opening, is up to 70 centimeters thick, and is made of corrosion-resistant steel plates. Because the iron gate has a huge weight, there are pulleys underneath, and it can be opened and closed through a control button located in the guard room on the inside of the city wall.
The trench outside the city gate is 5 meters deep and 6 meters wide. There is a supporting steel cable suspension bridge. Only when the guard room presses another pulley switch will it fall down to form a passage. But after they stood there for so long, they never saw the guard, Old Man Chen, checking on the visitors, which made Lang Hua feel suspicious.
"Hahaha, Xiaohua, don't be anxious." Wang De said seriously, "You have to come in sooner or later. But before you come in, you must disarm your equipment and let our people search you thoroughly to prevent anyone from being bitten. The injury will turn him into a corpse."
Wang De said earnestly: "You must know that this is the end of the world, and we have to be cautious about those who have bad intentions."
This reason sounds completely reasonable at first glance, but Yang Bensheng is still keenly aware of the problem.
He frowned and asked: "You mean - the equipment cannot be returned to us until it is inspected and found to be correct?"
Seeing Yang Bensheng, Wang De's expression became unnatural, perhaps because he recalled some old memories.
He nodded and said, "That's what you mean. I'm doing it for everyone's good, and if you don't have any evil intentions, why should you be afraid of checking?"
The evolvers behind Lang Hua were unhappy upon hearing this. Along the way, they know that equipment is their second life in the apocalypse, and they will never allow themselves to be disarmed.
Lang Hua raised his head and said calmly: "We have checked ourselves once after the last battle. I can vouch for them."
"Xiaohua, your guarantee..." Wang De looked very hesitant, but the faces of the people around him became more and more frightened, as if they were afraid that Wang De would agree to Lang Hua's request.
"I remember, this is my base, Uncle Wang."
"What are you saying at this time? In the apocalypse, we all work together to survive, and we have mutual responsibilities and obligations." Wang De said solemnly, "And now here, I am not the only one who can make the decision. My nephew, you have to be honest."
Lang Hua sighed and said, "I just want to ask, is Uncle Chen still alive?"
Wang De hesitated when he heard the words, and said hurriedly: "Chen...Old man Chen, he just..."
"Did you kill him?" Lang Hua's sharp gaze shot out, like a silver spear, instantly piercing the bodies of Wang De and others, leaving them blank-minded and speechless for a moment.
"Wang De, Wang De, the tiger descended from the mountain and the monkey became king, do you really think this is your territory?" Lang Hua's voice became deeper and deeper, like a lion before its rage or a volcano before its eruption.
On the night of "Advent", the scene of Lang Hua killing everyone and killing the black corpses like chopping melons and vegetables left a deep impression on them. Seeing Lang Hua's anger at this moment, these people couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
At this moment, Wang De suddenly showed a ferocious face, pointed at Lang Hua and yelled: "Well, you Lang Hua, I have long seen that you have evil intentions, maybe you have turned into a monster in the apocalypse, wearing human skin and thinking They're going to eat us all! Shoot and kill them!"
"Gun?" Lang Hua frowned and saw that most of the people on the city wall were holding up a strange-style wooden automatic rifle. A few also had a tiger-style hand crossbow, lying on the wall and aiming at the people who had just emerged from the forest. of evolvers.
"Why are you hesitating! There is a large group of corpse monkeys in the woods. No one can walk through it unharmed. Lang Hua is hiding it. Some of them must have been bitten!" Wang De turned his head and said anxiously, "If you don't do anything now, you will endanger everyone." people!"
He took out his rifle and pointed it at the other people around him and shouted: "Shoot! Whoever doesn't shoot, I'll kill him!"
"Lies!" Lang Hua's face turned dark.
Without saying a word, he charged directly towards the city gate. The "surge" ability was activated in an instant, causing his speed to increase instantly and turning into an afterimage.
Upon seeing this, Wang De directly aimed at Lang Hua and opened fire. Others followed, but due to lack of shooting experience, his accuracy was extremely poor. In the blink of an eye, the clips were emptied one by one, but the bullets seemed to be slow, unable to catch up with Lang Hua's shadow.
Fortunately, Lang Hua's previous instructions made the others hide in the woods, otherwise they might be living targets.
Accompanied by the "click-click" sound of shooting and the "pop-pop" sound of bullets penetrating the soil, Lang Hua was gradually approaching the city wall. At such a close range, even a blind man can hit it!
But on the city wall, most people were busy changing magazines. A few people who were familiar with Lang Hua were very hesitant in holding crossbows, including Xing Wutian.
Wang De immediately knocked away the opponent, grabbed the crossbow, aimed at Lang Hua and fired a series of shots. The tiger-style hand crossbow is very powerful. It can penetrate iron sheets from thirty meters away. Although it is not as powerful as a bullet, Lang Hua is definitely dead!
This idiot actually rushed forward without a care in the world!
He was still uneasy and threw another homemade grenade in the direction of Lang Hua's advance. The grenade exploded instantly when it hit the ground, sending fragments flying in all directions, and white smoke filled the air.
"Go to hell!" Wang De roared, shooting all the arrows in the crossbow in one go, his red eyes full of cruelty and madness.
"Ridiculous! Re-enactment-Iron Fist!"
As Lang Hua's voice sounded, his figure soared into the sky and shot straight through the white smoke. Lang Hua struck the crossbow arrows with one fist, and the next moment these arrows exploded to pieces!
"What?" Wang De was shocked.
“If you can’t do it, don’t think others can’t do it!”
"It's the ability to evolve! You actually awakened a new ability!" Wang De's expression became more ferocious the next second, "Don't think that you are the only one with abilities! Gravity!"
"Oh?" Lang Hua narrowed his eyes in mid-air, and at the same time he felt a huge tearing force coming from the ground, as if his body suddenly became made of iron, weighing more than a thousand kilograms under the influence of gravity. .
"Re-engraved-Feng Cheng!"
The effect of gravity is certainly impressive, but Lang Hua's evolutionary level is higher. Feng Cheng's effect grew stronger and stronger, and soon broke through the shackles of gravity, leading Lang Hua straight up.
As soon as Lang Hua's front foot landed on the city wall, the next moment he hit Wang De with a simple and sharp straight punch, rushing towards Wang De's face.
"Dong——"
Wang De flew backwards, and his nosebleed formed an arc in the air. He finally stopped when he hit the wall at the other end. And if it flew higher, it might go over the wall and fall to the ground!
But those "accomplices" who were sweating profusely and busy changing magazines only then realized that the "God of Death" had actually arrived in front of them. Some people hurriedly pointed their rifles without bullets at Lang Hua, but instead they were punched down the city wall by the other party with both men and guns.
"Bang bang bang——"
The others were neatly disarmed by Lang Hua with a pair of fists, and were quickly taken over by Lin Wenjin and Yang Bensheng who arrived.
Although they cannot fly, Duan Hei has the wind ability that can make others fly into the air.
"Don't move!" Lin Wenjin pointed his gun at these people and sneered, "Be careful, Mr. Lin's gun goes off!"
Lang Hua looked at the rifle he grabbed and couldn't help but wonder: "Type 63?"
It seemed that Wang De was lucky enough to discover the nearby arsenal by accident.
Lang Hua thought of this, closed his hands, and snapped the wooden handle of the gun butt.
"Vulnerable!"
He twisted his wrist and looked at Wang De and his accomplices with disdain.
To deal with these people, Lang Hua did not use any deadly force and only used 30% of his strength. Otherwise, with his level of evolution, one punch could kill someone.
If Wang De knew the truth, he might even spit out a mouthful of blood.
On the other side, Wang De's dizziness lasted for several seconds before slowly fading away. At this moment, he only felt that his head had been hit by a heavy hammer. He had a splitting headache and a "buzzing" sound in his head. At this time, another foot kicked hard. Lang Hua only used 30% of his strength, but Wang De spit out blood with a "wow" sound, and at least three ribs were broken.
Although Lang Hua is not an esper prone to power evolution, there are still obvious differences in physical fitness between different levels.
Under the terror of Lang Hua's "full blow", Wang De rolled to the side with stars in his eyes, shouting as he rolled: "Sir, save me!"
Such an unexpected request for help set off an alarm in Lang Hua's heart. He quickly jumped to the side and changed his position, but unexpectedly, he was still forced in front of him by a black shadow. A fist suddenly enlarged in front of his eyes, and Lang Hua could only lean back and cross his arms in front of him to protect him.
"Bang!"
The next moment, a man in black robe appeared where Lang Hua was standing. But Lang Hua fell off the top of the wall like a kite with its string cut off.
