"Brother, what did you say to Head Situ? He was such a face-saving old man, and he disbanded his soldiers so readily? Su Xiaoyu asked curiously, when Situ Nan came to find Zeng Tianqi, Su Xiaoyu happened to be helping out in Marin's laboratory, and it was her idea to let Ba Zhuo, a humanoid generator, pedal a bicycle all day long to generate electricity, don't look at her heart, she is very doting on Ba Zhuo, but when it comes to exercising him, Su Xiaoyu is like a harsh sister. Every time Bazhuo talked to her, he felt as if he had made a mistake and would be reprimanded at any time.

"Nothing, I just gave him a guarantee." Zeng Tianqi pretended to be mysterious and said.

"Brother, you're here... What to pack. Are you going to be mad at me? Su Xiaoyu crossed her waist and pouted unhappily.

"Okay, okay, people are a group. If you don't save some face, you won't see you when you look down in the future, how can you mix?? Zeng Tianqi rolled his eyes, leaned back on the chair with his neck and looked like a bachelor, "The "potion" that was mass-produced came out, you can send him one over." ”

"Humph! YOU KNOW THAT CALL ME ... Su Xiaoyu's mouth pouted, but Zeng Tianqi explained that she would do everything properly.

"By the way, how did you organize the training syllabus?? I think it's time to find an opportunity to get started. Zeng Tianqi tilted his head and asked.

"Almost. It's just, brother, this syllabus is a subject in Blackwater, and they may not be able to stick to it... Su Xiaoyu said.

"If you can't stick to it, you will be eliminated, and people who can't stick to this castrated version of the training syllabus can't do these things. I don't want too many people, I can screen out 10 people a month. Zeng Tianqi said. I'm going to make them 10 to 100. ”

At night, under the shadow of the King Bodhi tree, there are dots of emerald green fluorescence. Those are large UFOO algae that are mutated by the influence of trace amounts of gamma, these algae will dry up and attach to the trunk and leaves during the day to absorb the X gamma sprinkled in the gaps of the leaves of the King Bodhi tree, and at night they will expand to produce a very light gas, which will react with the steam emitted by the leaves of the King Bodhi at night to produce a weak light reaction, and the remaining substances are the nutrients they rely on for survival, and feed back a large amount of aerobic elements. Marin once tested that in the first half of the night, when the algae are most active, the concentration of oxygen under the entire tree is about 10% higher than during the day.

Badro wielded his heavy wooden knife under the tree, sweating like rain. For a long time, he has been like a laggard existence, Zeng Tianqi and Su Xiaoyu have been taking care of him. He learned about Zeng Tianqi and Su Xiaoyu's past from the story, and he knew that his efforts couldn't even catch up with them. The monks of the Neapolitan monastery set themselves on fire, and it seemed that the only bit of Buddha nature in his mind was also burned to the ground. There was a fire in his heart, and many nights he woke up in a dream, and what appeared in the dream was the last side of his parents, and the terrible ending almost became a demon in his heart.

His parents died in front of him, and the charcoal body of the old monk sat in front of him. It seems that only by gritting his teeth and practicing to exhaustion can he not think about the fact that his family is ruined.

A slender figure quietly came to Ba Zhuo and sat down, and Ba Zhuo hurriedly sat up even if he was exhausted, because this person was Su Xiaoyu, and she was the most lazy in her life. Su Xiaoyu didn't scold Ba Zhuo, but wiped his sweat. Bazhuo smirked embarrassedly.

"Little Bazhuo, you know what? In addition to me and my great-brother, you also have 4 brothers and two sisters, all of whom are our family. Zeng's brother was terminally ill at the time, and he was afraid that they would be uncomfortable, so he left on his own. Right now... I don't know how they're doing?。。。。。 Your brothers... Su Xiaoyu said to Ba Zhuo.

Bazhuo crossed his legs and listened quietly. This is the first time Su Xiaoyu has mentioned that there are other brothers and sisters.

"Sister, you miss them...

"yes, I missed them. We're all like you, kids without a father or a mother. It's been a hard time. The eight of us are like brothers and sisters, and we are desperate to survive. There are many, many more, just like us. None of them survived. Died there. Little Bazhuo, they will all be your family from now on... Those brothers and sisters will like you too. ”

That night, Bazhuo slept soundly. Life is so hard. But Sister Xiaoyu told him that she had the same background as him. The same brothers and sisters, they all work hard to live. Listen to the stories of those people. He seems to have found a new direction in life.

In his dream, it was no longer just a nightmare, but 8 unyielding figures, blocking those twisted figures in front of him.

Dongguo, 2025, winter, today is a big day. All the people of the tree village gathered in an open field under the trees. Brother Li instructed the villagers to temporarily build a wooden platform, on which a loudspeaker was placed.

"Ahh Ahem... Li Gewu adjusted the horn by himself, and yesterday he rummaged through the cabinet and found the only battery left in his house.

"Everyone be quiet, I called you here today, on the one hand, to welcome the new compatriots of more than 500 compatriots, and at the same time, today our village chief has something important to announce. Next, we welcome the village chief Qian Feng to give a welcome speech. Brother Li put down the horn and began to applaud Qian Feng, who was sitting next to him, and dozens of aborigines in the audience also applauded.

Today's Qian Feng deliberately found a well-fitting modern outfit, with neat buttons on his clothes, a white scarf around his neck, glasses, and some gray hair combed back. The beard was also shaved, although it was impossible to see it up close because of the shaving tools, but the effect was still good from a distance.

Qian Feng stood in front of the loudspeaker, and many of the original villagers found that today's Qian Feng seemed to be a little different from the past, and the whole person exuded a confident and calm introvert and self-confidence.

Before Qian Feng could speak, a few gossip women below began to chatter.

"Hey, have you noticed that Village Chief Qian has become handsome today?"

"Hey, don't say it, why didn't I find it before, it's pretty handsome.."

"Oh, I knew he was so handsome, I should have agreed when he chased me with a dead face."

"Come on, people are chasing you with dead faces? What do you like? Do you have big teeth that can hoe the ground? ”

"Hey, how are you scolding."

"Who scolded you, Bucktooth Jane, don't you look in the mirror??"

“。。。。”

"She doesn't seem to have mirrors in her house...

“。。。。。”

Qian Feng smiled like this and watched everyone talk about it, and after a while, everyone always felt that something was weird, usually they always had Qian Feng under them: Everyone be quiet. The concerto. Why not this time??

The scene suddenly fell silent, and this time, everyone felt that it was really a bit of a "ritual". Qian Feng looked at the quiet crowd and slowly raised his horn.

"I am Qian Feng, the village chief of Shucun, and today is the 70th day of our first batch of people to settle in Shucun, and of course, it is also the fifth day of the new compatriots. Allow me, on behalf of the first batch of compatriots to move in, to extend a warm welcome to the 542 new compatriots. After speaking, Qian Feng applauded lonely and lonely, no one responded, but Qian Feng did not stop, and kept smiling and applauding himself. Situ Nan applauded, and then suddenly, everyone applauded.

This time, the applause stopped as Qian Feng's hand was lowered. Qian Feng continued: "We used to know each other, we crossed countless possible deaths, and fled all the way to this tree village, when I came here, I couldn't figure out what happened to the world, it seemed that in the blink of an eye, it had become hell, and it had become a desperate situation for human beings. It wasn't until Mr. Zeng came that I stepped up to this podium and had a conversation with Mr. Zeng all night. He gave me a lot of information about the outside world and told me what was going on in the world. Told me the origin of this great king Bodhi who sheltered us. I suddenly understood something, and today, I want to share it with you... ”

Qian Feng took a sip of water and started a new paragraph: "The calamity comes from heaven... Qian Feng pointed to the sky. The situation is complicated, and I can take the time to talk to you about it, but the general idea is that the whole world is now shrouded in this mysterious ray. Ninety percent of human beings will not be able to resist these rays and become the 'crazy corpse' we see. Ninety percent of people. Can you imagine how many of these monsters are running rampant in our country right now? I come to tell you ... Qian Feng stretched out five fingers. Billion! The audience was silent, and everyone was shocked by this terrifying number.

"I never really thought about what this tree village meant to us, and today I figured out that maybe, tree village is our lonely boat floating in a sea of corpses and blood, maybe not the only one, but we are lonely enough. Any one sufficient number of corpses, say, thousands? 10,000? We're going to be doomed. In the past, we just wanted to find a place to live. But after learning about the real world. I think we have to unite all the people who can be united, and we have to be together to survive. This is the meaning of our tree village ... Because.. We all are. Survivor! Qian Feng's words were loud, and the audience suddenly was in an uproar. Everyone, the fear and worry in their eyes could not be concealed.

Qian Feng on the stage suddenly exploded and kicked a big stone next to the wooden platform that seemed to be arranged intentionally or unintentionally. It was Brother Li who found several people and quietly carried it over and arranged it there.

The boulder, which weighed at least hundreds of pounds, slid forward several meters like a football, and then tumbled violently, crashing into a thick tree root next to it, making a loud tremor.

The crowd suddenly fell silent, their eyes widening to make sure the boulder wasn't made of foam. However, the shaking of the roots and the loud noise made them negated. They all stared at Qian Feng, who was patting the dust on his shoes, this time, including those big soldiers of the former 426th Regiment.

"I know, this news, I also fell into despair. We can't survive. Under the claws of these 5 billion 'mad corpses'... However, there was another piece of news that gave me hope, and I am now convinced of it. See? This is the second gift that King Bodhi has given us in addition to a place to live. The key to evolution. ”

"We were lucky to have a scientist staying in the house. They separated from King Bodhi a potion that can greatly enhance human beings, strength, speed, reactions, resistance, and even... Weapons.. Qian Feng said, stretched out his right hand, and a layer of dense bone fragments like a glove slowly emerged from his right hand fist.

Between Qian Feng's sudden fists, there was a sonorous sound. "This is the end of the world, this is a catastrophe, and this is an opportunity... Humans have the opportunity to evolve into a more advanced species... Everyone stopped talking and stared at Qian Feng's right hand, either fearful or fanatical, but everyone's eyes began to get brighter and brighter. And those crazy corpses are just the product of evolutionary failure. So, I'm thinking, even if only one tenth of us are left, as long as we open the path of evolution, we can survive this apocalypse! ”

"We now have scientists, we have fighters, we have ordinary people, and we huddle together for warmth. But... This is not enough. The scale of the tree village is far from enough, and it is not enough for us to be content with the status quo. We need to build walls to resist the "mad corpses", we need machinery to produce weapons to destroy them, tools, clothes, food, daily use... We need more people, more diverse people. in order to rebuild society and return to the light. We're going to build a city. ”
