Chapter 154: Everyone Has Their Own Ambitions
When Zhao Hao first came to the neutral place, he only saw a lake in the village, and there seemed to be a small island on the lake. Other than that, he had no other impression, at that time his realm was too low to see the mystery of the island.
At this time and again, now he and Wei Wei are both top mutant powerhouses, their vision has greatly improved, and the things they can see are different from before.
Looking around, Zhao Hao saw that there was a wooden house on the island in the middle of the lake.
The wooden house is very simple, and it has a simple atmosphere, like a wooden house in a landscape painting.
What really caught the couple's attention was a tree next to the hut.
The shape of the tree is very similar to that of a normal oak tree, except that the "fruit" that grows on the tree.
The reason why it is indicated in quotation marks is because what grows on the tree is really beyond common sense. Zhao Hao vaguely saw that under the cover of leaves, some "fruits" were like a sword, some fruits were like a spear, some fruits were like a battle axe, and some fruits were like a sledgehammer......
"Am I dazzled, are those weapons artificially hung decorations, just like Christmas trees?" Xue Wei rubbed her big eyes cutely, looking a little cute.
"No, you're not dazzled." Zhao Hao instantly became professional, and it was rare to be able to show off in front of his knowledgeable girlfriend, and he coaxed: "This kind of thing, called evolutionary seeds, can produce very unscientific things." The proprietress of Ice Castle has an eight-treasure tree, and eight golden treasure chests have grown on it. I remember the proprietress mentioning that the cattle and pigeons in the neutral land also have an evolutionary seed, presumably the strange tree on the island. β
"Could this treasure appreciation conference have something to do with that tree?" Xue Wei said.
"Quite possibly, we'll find out in a few days." Zhao Hao was not in a hurry, and when he bought the house, Xue Lian told him that the island in the middle of the lake was a forbidden area in a neutral place, and told him not to trespass.
In this kind of sitting together, time passed quietly.
Zhao Hao gradually became absent-minded, as if he had something on his mind.
"What are you thinking?" Vivi asked.
"I thought it would be fun to realize my dream, but after sitting here for a long time, I suddenly felt quite lost." Zhao Hao was stunned: "The two of us are sitting here and enjoying it, our parents are still scared in the country, isn't this too unsophisticated?" β
"Well, my mom isn't in good health. Qing'er came in, and I also came in with a fever in my head, and I didn't dare to think about what my mother had become now. Xue Wei was also lost: "Although this paradise-like place is good, it is not a place to live for a long time. Unless we can go back, let our parents rest assured first. β
"Yes, if we can go back, open a nearby teleportation array, and travel here with our parents, it will be really enjoyable. Now that I live here, I feel very awkward and can't say anything about it. Zhao Hao felt that after several months of struggling to survive, what he wanted most now was to go home.
This wish was made possible at dusk.
When the sun hung on the mountain, Zhao Hao and Xue Wei went to the restaurant in the village.
In the private seat on the second floor, Wang Xiaolong and Xie Ke, who represented the Ziqiang Group, came as promised, and only two guardians of the neutral land came, namely Lao Miao and Snow Lotus. After a period of polite greetings, Zhao Hao went straight to the point and told the story he heard from Dr. A's mouth, focusing on the Canglong effect.
When Qin Sheng and the others heard the news, they were all on fire.
But the four people here were strange and reacted surprisingly coldly. Xue Lian and Lao Miao are well-informed, and their performance is understandable, but Wang Xiaolong and Xie Ke are also as calm as water, which is incomprehensible.
Zhao Hao touched a soft nail and said, "Do you think I'm bragging?" β
"No, Brother Zhao, we can trust you." Wang Xiaolong said vaguely: "But when I go back, I have to think about it in the long run." β
Zhao Hao felt that there was something in the other party's words: "What does it mean to think in the long run?" β
"Well, I'll tell you." Lao Miao put down his chopsticks and asked a question: "Little brother, you answer me a question first, why should I go back?" β
Zhao Hao was stunned: "You don't want to go back?" β
"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't." Lao Miao's face was a little sad and indignant, and he told a story: "I used to set up a stall in China to do some small business, and a chengguan rushed over and smashed my stall, I was angry and pushed him. I didn't think about it and pushed the chengguan into the middle of the road, just as a car drove over and killed him......"
After a pause, Lao Miao's expression was extremely bitter: "I will be sentenced when I go back, if the other party has a backstage, maybe I will be sentenced to death, do you think I can go back?" β
Zhao Hao was speechless, he and Xue Wei were innocent, and they could be reunited with their families when they went back, and they never thought that some people had criminal records. For a person like Lao Miao, who has taken on a murder case, returning to China is a disaster.
He didn't give up and said: "I didn't say that we would go back with great fanfare, as long as we open the teleportation array and quietly go home to see our relatives, wouldn't it be good?" With your current skills, the police can't catch you. β
"Brother Zhao, you are still young and don't understand the system." Wang Xiaolong spoke: "I used to be a person in the system, if the situation is really as you said, I am sure that there are security checks in one hundred teleportation arrays in China, and it is very likely that there are special forces guarding them." That kind of security check is stricter than the airport, and those who walk out of the pillar of light will definitely be checked, and those with criminal records will be arrested on the spot. β
"Captain Wang is right, that's the consistent routine of the above." Lao Miao took over the conversation and said: "No matter how high the martial arts are, we are afraid of guns, we can't fight with the police and the army openly, right?" When the time comes, not only will you suffer, but you will also have to affect your relatives and friends. Instead of that, I might as well retire in this village. β
Zhao Hao was surprised and said: "Commander Wang, you are from a military background, and your roots are red, why don't you want to go back?" β
"It's hard to put it into words, I'm not a soldier anymore." Wang Xiaolong sighed and didn't want to elaborate.
"Let me tell you about my situation." Xue Lian spoke: "You must have heard that the marriage of the children of the Xue family is not up to you. My family was going to marry me to someone I hated the most, and I couldn't think of running into the Pillar of Colorful Light. I'm doing well now, I don't have to take on responsibilities that shouldn't have been my own, and I don't want to go back. β
The ancients said that everyone had their own aspirations.
At this moment, Zhao Hao understood the true meaning of this idiom.
Once upon a time, he thought that everyone was as eager to go back as he was, which fully showed that he was too young and naΓ―ve. The people who came to the Evolution World in the early days, it can be said that 60% of them have the same criminal record as Lao Miao, and they will have to be sentenced when they go back, so it is better to continue to live in the Evolution World. In addition, there are some people, like Xuelian, who don't want to go back at all because of some hardships.
