Chapter 143: The farmer and the snake (1/2)
The first city lord of Rongcheng was a young couple. The male evolutionary name was Yan Chengmiao. At the beginning of the last days, his wife and his wife were both worthy of standing. Together with the old father in the family, he moved from a nearby town that had been destroyed by mutant beasts. He fled to Rongcheng, holding his two-year-old child who was still waiting to be fed, and survived here.
Because these southern bases are far away from large-scale bases in the interior, the garrison troops are not so regular. The last remaining troops for more than half a year after the end of the world have gradually scattered, and the entire base has fallen into a struggle for power.
At that time, Rongcheng was a place outside the law, and there were a lot of burning, killing and looting. The Yan family and Mr. Yan were both powerful evolutionary people, and there were many supporters in Rongcheng.
As one of the few highly capable evolved people in the base, Yan Chengmiao and his father led the people of Rongcheng to successfully resist the beast wave in the next beast wave that almost wiped out the entire base.
Since then, Yan Chengmiao has secured the position of City Lord Rongcheng.
And Rongcheng also ushered in a clean-up, the dark clouds covering the city base were swept away by a big hand, and light was ushered in the tense atmosphere of the base.
Various new systems and regulations were established under the correction of Yan Chengmiao and his wife. For a time, the public order in the base almost reached the pre-apocalyptic level, which is also mixed with the handwriting of Mr. Yan.
Old man Yan was named Yan Yongguo. He had a serious face. When he was young, he was a soldier who went shopping with real swords and guns on the battlefield. He had a deep understanding of weapons and so on. After the war years, he became addicted to Study the disassembly and assembly of various machines at home.
After the end of the world, relying on decades of craftsmanship to research armor and weapon production, the armors and improved weapons made are used to the extreme, and the father is also famous in the surrounding bases.
It is precisely because of the spirit and perseverance that he honed in the war to help rebuild a barren Rongcheng, and now the city wall outside Rongcheng is the design of the old man.
Just when everything was going to be formal and a harmonious and stable life for the family, the thriving Rongcheng base ushered in a huge change.
That was the moment when the third heavy fog had just arrived. Yan Chengmiao's evolutionary ability was the return of genes. When using evolutionary ability, he could transform into extremely strong animal horns, and his lower limbs were also more sensitive due to animalization.
After his evolutionary ability has greatly deepened, his three-year-old daughter had an accident when the babysitter screamed in exclamation.
That day, the little girl was taking a nap in the lord’s camp in the middle of the city as usual. The nap time was over. When the nanny wanted to wake the lord’s daughter, she was shocked when she lifted the quilt and quit her comfortable and safe job that day.
Although Yan Chengmiao pleaded nicely before leaving and paid a huge amount of condensate, a few days later, the news that the lord's daughter was a monster spread faintly throughout Rongcheng.
The nanny told others that when she lifted the quilt, there was a little human **** the bed. It was clearly a little beast with tender horns and brown-black curly hairs, curled up in the quilt and sleeping soundly.
Had it not been for the lord's daughter's jade pendant on the little beast's neck, and a small nightdress on her body, she would have never expected that cute little girl would become like this.
For a while, everyone in Rongcheng was saying that the lord's daughter was not a human being, but a new way for mutant beasts to invade humans.
But the three adults in the Yan family don't think so. The little girl's mutation actually inherited her father's evolutionary ability. If Yan Chengmiao can completely return to her ancestors, the shape is estimated to be similar to the adult form of her daughter's return to ancestors.
According to the statement three years after the end of the world, the situation of the little girl in the Yan family is a very rare form, and it is likely that she will be arrested by the research institute for research in city b.
In the mouths of these researchers, this is an ultimate form of reversion to evolution, also known as complete reversion.
Genes are completely changed to a certain extent, and they have different forms.
Because the little girl is too young, the body and the genes in the body have not been fully developed, which often leads to changes in her form and cannot control her body freely.
Sometimes when he wakes up, he will turn into a little lamb cub with winking eyes, babbling, bleating, and hitting his father with a crooked horn.
She didn't understand that her current form was abnormal in the eyes of outsiders.
At the same time, just after the third heavy fog, when Yan Chengmiao was out hunting mutant creatures, he discovered that there was an extremely tricky mutant creature in the moat outside of Rongcheng.
It was a mutant electric eel with a length of nearly 20 meters, with an ability level of level five, the same as Yan Chengmiao, but the tricky thing was that it was an intelligent creature with human intelligence, a very rare species. Although it was a fifth-level mutant beast, it was as tricky as a sixth-level mutant beast.
The water of the moat outside Rongcheng is not shallow. After the end of the world, there will be no human industrial sewage. The water after the water cycle is automatically filtered and purified is much cleaner than before.
There was a muffled noise outside the city of Rong, which had always been peaceful that day, and the evolutionary man who went out to patrol was scorched with his half body blackened. When he was rescued, there was still a stubborn purple stream in his flesh.
The courageous man poked his head out of the city gate and saw a huge head emerge from the water, with complicated patterns and faint electric currents attached to his forehead. A pair of huge and oblate fish eyes looked at Rong. The direction of the city.
This huge intelligent creature walked along the moat from the remote river to the surroundings of Rongcheng. The people in the nearby base were panicked, for fear that this terrible creature would stir up the **** wind of Rongcheng in one fell swoop.
It was at this time that Yan Chengmiao rescued Shen Zhiyu, an evolved man who was seriously injured by this mutant electric eel.
Shen Zhiyu's evolution level is the same as the lord of Rongcheng, and is also a fifth-level evolutionary person.
According to what he said, the base he once was in has been silently destroyed by a small wave of beasts. Because of his strong evolutionary ability, he escaped, and he was already wounded.
If not for his luck, he would have died in the mouth of this mutant electric eel this time.
Shen Zhiyu's words are sincere and full of gratitude. Coupled with his strong evolutionary strength, he knows how to figure out people's hearts to gain the trust of others. One elder brother and sister-in-law treat the Yan family as their relatives.
Soon, Yan Chengmiao regarded him as his most trusted brother and right-hand man. He did not expect that because of his kindness, he finally staged a realistic version of ”The Farmer and the Snake”. Both himself and his wife died. This good brother with a human face and a beast heart.
Until a year ago, Yan Chengmiao discovered that some not-so-good forces had gradually emerged in Rongcheng. They seemed to have taken root in Rongcheng a long time ago, and people with management have been covering up and hiding their existence. The peace of the base that Yan Chengmiao thought was actually corrupted by these people.
Even if he discovered the anomaly in the base, he couldn't do anything for a while if he wanted to mobilize these forces that were already entrenched in scale.
In the course of slow investigation and exploration, Shen Zhiyu also gradually revealed his ambition and true face. He has been instigating Yan Chengmiao and his wife to turn their backs to their own camp.
This result makes the Yan family and his wife unacceptable. They don't believe that Shen Zhiyu, who has been calling themselves brothers, and even going out and out of the same table with his family every day, is such a wolf and ambition. They can't deal with Shen Zhiyu.
Just when the couple hesitated, Shen Zhiyu noticed a change in their attitudes, and he decided to take action.
Taking advantage of the Yan family's father leaving the city, he quickly led people to implement a rebellion campaign, beheading both Yan family and his wife. In the end, there was only one evolutionary man who could control the bones. He used his evolution ability to adjust the size of his bones, and shrank to the size of a child with the pain of his life, and was pierced to death by Shen Zhiyu's sword.
The real daughter of the Yan family was sent to Yan Yongguo by Yan Chengmiao's confidant.
When Mr. Yan hurried back, Rongcheng had completely changed. He burst into tears when he looked at his granddaughter who had no parents but still asked himself ‘Mother and Dad’.
Although he was angry in his heart, he wished he would carry a knife to cut Shen Zhiyu thousands of times, but at this time, Shen Zhiyu had taken the stone of the Yan family and successfully upgraded to the sixth level of evolution, surrounded by a group of tiger and wolf people. .
Most of these people were Yan Chengmiao's defeated generals, or they were dissatisfied with Rongcheng's laws and regulations that now classify evolutionary people as ordinary people. They believed that they should be evolved higher beings, and they hit it off with Shen Zhiyu.
And beside him, there is a little granddaughter who is less than five years old. If he and Shen Zhiyu are desperate, what will the granddaughter do in the future?
Old man Yan thought for a long time and was helpless, and could only endure the hatred and live at the feet of the enemy.
It’s not that he never thought of leaving Rongcheng, but he knew in his heart that if he was in Rongcheng, Shen Zhiyu, who had already become famous in full view, would not blatantly move his grandchildren, but if he leaves Rongcheng once In the city, there will be a large number of people chasing after them to kill them.
But Yan Yongguo never expected that the culprits like this would still not let them go, and insisted on killing them.
Soon after Shen Zhiyu ascended to the position of lord, the mutant electric eel that had been eyeing outside the moat also evolved into a sixth-level mutant. In addition to its human-like intelligence, its strength evaluation was close to seventh.
Although this mutant electric eel did not take any actual actions, such as attacking Rongcheng, it has human intelligence and seems to be very curious about the human species. It often triggers some small floods or travels nearby. People die under electric current.
Although Shen Zhiyu has great ambitions, it does not mean that he has the courage to fight.
When Yan Chengmiao was there, the relationship between Rongcheng and the mutant electric eels in the river was very tense. In order to protect the people of the base, he personally led the team to resist and encircle the mutant beasts in the river many times, but they all ended in failure, and evolutionary people often lost their lives. In the mouth of this electric eel.
After Shen Zhiyu sat on the throne of the lord, he wanted more to enjoy the supremacy. He didn't want to lead the team to strangle the monsters in the river, because he knew that once he went, he would have a high chance of being injured or even killed in the mouth of the electric eel.
How could these inferior people be worth his life to fight, it is a joke.
So Shen Zhiyu took the initiative to negotiate, and finally decided to sacrifice a young and lively life to the mutant electric eel every three months, which is the so-called sacrifice.
In exchange for this, the mutant electric eel should not attack Rongcheng again.
Within a year since then, three consecutive children have been selected to fill the mouth of the mutant electric eel.
Even though the closure of the city every three months is a sacrifice to the head of the river, the people in the city know in their hearts that this is to send these poor children to death.
Many people left Rongcheng with their family members in order to avoid this kind of cruel and bearish feeding of beasts on their children, and some watched their daughters at almost the same age and allowed them to be personally casual to avoid the fate of death.
