MTL - The Return of Cambrian Period-Chapter 14 Global evolution
The two walked for two kilometers and finally walked out of the lush grass. They found themselves on the edge of the city. Although the former residential houses were already covered by overgrown plants, the entire city was no longer a human city. It looks like an abandoned city that has been abandoned for many years.
Who can believe that these changes happened within three or four days.
Cong Xia sighed heavily, looking at this city where he had lived for three or four years, and was very frightened.
The two walked into the city, looking for food, but they could find no more water.
All the shops along the street were smashed, and the broken windows were covered with rotten food inside and outside. The weeds in the crevices of the floor tiles are taller than human calves, and they have the feeling of walking into the primitive jungle.
They searched several stores and found nothing to eat. Instead, they found a few bottles of mineral water. Cong Xia also quickly found a pair of sports shoes. Thousands of shoes of this brand are used. He has never been willing to buy them before, and now no one picks them up for free. It seems that apart from what is currently being eaten, everything else is not in short supply, but unfortunately it is the most deadly.
In order to find food, the two rummaged through all the shops in several streets, and before them, these places had been rummaged by hungry people, and they found nothing.
No way, Cheng Tianbi began to use the saber to pry the trunk of the car. There are many abandoned cars on the street. Maybe some people will put some first-aid items on the car. The standard first-aid kit should have vacuum-packed compressed biscuits.
They pried open more than sixty cars in the morning, and finally found an earthquake emergency kit in the trunk of a car, which contained water, medicine bags, flashlights, raincoats and the like. What delighted them most was that the inside There are three packs of compressed biscuits, which provide enough calories for an adult to live five to seven days.
Cong Xia took those packets of biscuits as if they were holding rare treasures. The two sat down to the side of the road, he carefully opened a packet, opened the largest one to Cheng Tianbi, and took a small sip of his cherishment. Eat the small piece with a sip.
Compressed biscuits have no flavor, but fullness works well. After filling the biscuit with a bottle of water, the stomach is almost full.
It took them a minute to finish a packet of biscuits, and they couldn't be saved after being opened anyway.
The remaining two packets of biscuits, Cong Xia carefully scooped into the jacket's inner bag, this is their ration for the next two days.
Cheng Tianbi glanced at him, "Are you full?"
"Well, full."
"Find a hardware store. We need some pipes."
"doing what?"
"Collect gasoline." Cheng Tianbi glanced at the abandoned car on the road. "Whether the plane can take off or not or we are waiting for us, we all have to go to the airport to see."
There is still a straight distance of seven or eight kilometers from the city center here. There are not many traffic jams on the road. From here, you should be able to drive all the way to the airport.
Cong Xia nodded: "You're right, that's our last hope to leave here. I don't know what the situation is elsewhere, but Beijing is the capital and the country's resource gathering place. It must be easier to survive than here. My uncle is still waiting for me. "
The two men first found a Mercedes-Benz off-road in the street. After Chengtianbi urged the lighter to start the car, they found that the car had enough fuel to run for thirty or forty kilometers.
Cong Xiadao: "This is enough, the airport is more than 20 kilometers."
"Who told you we're going to a civilian airport."
"Ah? Which airport are you going to?"
"A hidden military airport, you wouldn't know."
"How far is it from the city?"
"One hundred and twenty kilometers."
"That's far enough."
The two found a hardware store, pried open the shutter door, and found some tools, plastic buckets and pipes inside.
Cheng Tianbi walked to the side of a car carrying something, prying the fuel tank cap of the car, stretched the tube in, sucked the other end to the mouth, and put it into a plastic barrel, and the gasoline flowed out along the tube.
They changed two cars and filled a bucket.
Cheng Tianbi was sweating at this moment. He took off his camouflage coat and wore only a white vest. Cheng Tianbi's figure was very perfect. He was close to one meter nine, his muscles were compact and he had long legs. The sturdy chest rolled through the sweat, and looked very sexy.
Cong Xia looked at his thin body, then looked at Cheng Tianbi, envious of him, he couldn't help but said, "You're so good."
Cheng Tianbi glanced at the thin arms under his sleeve, "You are too poor, find time to practice."
"Can you do that?"
"No, you are too short."
Cong Xia was depressed: "You might as well not mention it."
Cheng Tianbi picked up more than 30 kilograms of plastic buckets filled with gasoline with one hand and walked to the next car. Cong Xia followed him with a pipe and two empty plastic buckets, watching Cheng Tianbi's healthy body Admiration in his eyes.
Every man hopes that he is powerful and strong, especially a nerd like Cong Xia. Cheng Tianbi fits the image of a strong man in his mind. He is tall, handsome, and courageous. The tough guy in the movie is nothing more than that. Make him envious and longing.
Cheng Tianbi didn't know his thoughts, but felt that when he faced Cong Xia, his words became more and more. He was not reluctant to speak, but at first he could not see a weak chicken like Cong Xia. The environment in which the two lived was too different, and he didn't know what to say.
But after a long time of contact, he saw the unexpected courage on Cong Xia's body, and the gentle personality of Cong Xia also made him hard-hearted.
In short, this man didn't want to be so weak and useless in his imagination, sometimes it was very interesting.
The two cooperated to fill the off-road mailbox, and put three barrels of gasoline on the car in case any accident happened on the road. Most importantly, once the plane left the road and could not get through, they still You must drive to the next destination, or go back to the city to discuss it from the mayor, or go to another city.
When they were ready, they put some of the supplies shipped from the store into the car and decided to leave by car.
Just then, a car drove across the street and stopped beside them.
Cheng Tianbi carried his gun behind his back and looked at the car coldly.
Four or five young men and women jumped down from the car, all holding iron bars in their hands, and they didn't look like good stubble. A man headed with the iron bars knocked on the ground.
Cong Xia is not afraid of these people. He not only has a gun, but also a celestial wall, so he is a little bit fake, "out of town."
"Out of town? It ’s the same all over the world. Where can I go to die? I might as well stay in my hometown for a few days."
Cong Xia frowned, "What do you want to do?"
"I want to see what good things are hidden in your car, to give my brothers some insight."
"Why should we show you our stuff."
The head of the man showed a vicious expression, "Less nonsense, leave something to eat, nothing else, if you shame your face, I will smash your face into a persimmon cake."
The man's voice had just fallen, a gunshot sounded, and his big toe was lost.
Everyone at the scene froze.
The man yelled and fell to his knees with a bang.
The sky looked at them coldly, "Get out."
A fat man behind him picked up the iron rod, sang loudly, and slammed **** the ground. The solid concrete floor between them was completely cracked, and the crack extended at least five or six meters.
That energy!
The fat man shouted, "I don't fear you if you have a gun. Don't think we are bullying. I am a mutant!"
Cheng Tianbi pointed his gun at him. "Are you really not afraid of guns?"
The fat man looked at the muzzle of the black hole, his fat body shuddered. He was just bluffing just now, although he did mutate, and his strength became unparalleled, but he was an ordinary person three days ago, and now he hasn't changed his incompetence, how could he not be afraid of guns.
A woman pulled him, "Fat, forget it, let's go."
The fat man hesitated, pulling up his injured companion on the ground, "Let's go."
"Slow." Cheng Tianbi walked a few steps, "I have something to ask you."
Cold sweat came from the fat man's forehead, "What are you asking?"
"You said you were a mutant."
The fat man didn't want to answer him, but looked at the gun and swallowed: "Yes, did you see that all of a sudden, that is my ability to mutate."
"Any mutants like you, are there many in this city?"
"Not much, I know now, including me four."
"All Hercules?"
"No, three Hercules, and one is weird. The body hair has become very long, and the hair can be used as a needle."
"Are there any other aliens in humans?"
The fat man thought about it, "It seems like nothing."
"What about the flora and fauna in the city?"
As soon as he talked about the flora and fauna in the city, the fat man's face changed immediately. "Those things are crazy, crazy, and there is no room for people."
"Say more and tell me everything you know."
The fat man sighed, "In the past three days, all the flora and fauna I can see have mutated. The most common mutation is the increase in size, but the degree of variation is different. Some can threaten people, and some can only It ’s eaten. For example, there is a large pine tree in the center of the city, which has reached a height of ten floors. As long as there is a living thing passing through, the pine needles are shaken from the tree, the living thing is turned into a hedgehog, and then it rots to be itself No one dares to approach for a few hundred meters. There are also rats in the city, most of which have become bigger, and some are even half human, and they attack when they see people. A few of us escaped from the city yesterday. At that time, it was chased by a praying mantis. The mantis has a thick wrist, and the head is not very big, but the speed is abnormal. A person's throat is cut open with a single knife, and the neck is skinned. We killed two people before killing the praying mantis. As a result, the injured two did not survive today and both died. "Sadness and fear appeared on the fat man's face.
Cong Xia heard the scalp numb, and he asked, "So, according to your observations, humans have the least variation."
The fat man sighed: "It's more than enough, it doesn't feel useful. Take me for example. Although the strength has become stronger and better than ordinary people, but in the face of those crazy animals and plants, there are not many advantages, it is possible at any time. It was torn by some big cat and big dog. "
Cheng Tianbi nodded, "You can go."
The fat man took the group of people and left in the car.
The two also got into the car and drove to the high speed.
They were silent in the car for a long time, and Cong Xia sighed, "I didn't expect the city to become like that."
Cheng Tianbi didn't speak, but Cong Xia could feel his heavy mood.
A mantis killed four people ... It was a joke three days ago, but now it is a **** fact before them.
Cong Xia continued: "Sure enough, as you said, the direction of human evolution is not only the energy of the five elements, but also the evolution of its own physical abilities, such as those who are strong, and those with excessive hair growth."
Cheng Tianbi nodded, "the more people evolve, the more."
"Yes, the more the better. If the evolution of human physical fitness is also a big evolutionary direction, maybe there will be clairvoyance, scudgers and the like in the future, and humans may become stronger again."
With a heavy heart, the two were flying all the way to the destination where they hoped.
