Chi Hua and the others lingered in Xishan Village for another day before setting off again. The reason for the detention was that Chi Hua inadvertently asked the old man Zhang Zhanyuan about the mutated animals, and the old man said that there was a strange bird that ate people in the mountain behind the village, and asked Chi Hua and others for help.

Chi Hua and the others went up the mountain under the guidance of the old man the next morning, and in the afternoon they dragged back a huge bird carcass weighing more than 200 pounds like an owl, which attracted all the villagers in Xishan Village to come around and watch, and were amazed.

Before leaving, there was a small episode.

The old man Zhang Zhanyuan pulled Luo Zhigang, Chi Hua and others to thank them, Luo Zhigang promised that if there were any difficulties or needs in the village, he could contact them in the future, but the old man said, "Then how to contact?" But he stopped everyone and couldn't tell each other the location of the base.

Modern humans, accustomed to mobile phones and the Internet, are suddenly stumped by communication problems again.

Li Xiaofei, who has always gaged, gave an idea crookedly, since it is impossible to communicate, the two sides will agree on a code, just like cheating in our exams, safe and safe. If the people in the village need to get in touch, they will draw a code in a conspicuous position, and the people of the adventure team will take the initiative to contact them if they see it.

However, how to determine the shape of the code has caused a lot of controversy, too simple to repeat with children's graffiti, too complicated and many people do not know how to draw. In the end, Chi Hua, who had the highest education, gave an opinion that most people agreed with, since there are seven of us, then use the Big Dipper as a code, and the death of the Big Dipper Lord is also consistent with our purpose of eliminating violence and peace.

In order to prevent others from counterfeiting, Chi Hua and Zhang Zhanyuan agreed to lightly add a little next to the sixth star of the Big Dipper, Kaiyang Star, when drawing the code, to mark the auxiliary star.

"Big Dipper, Big Dipper Adventure Squad, good!" Zhang Zhanyuan was afraid that he would forget, so he repeated it several times. Even Zhang Zhanyuan himself didn't realize that the name he casually read out would resound throughout the Northwest for a long time in the future.

……

When the mountains at the end of the prairie reappeared, everyone had the joy of being about to go home. What is home? For Chi Hua and the others, there may be no relatives or lovers waiting for the home they are about to return to, but it is still a place where people feel at ease and comfortable, and a place where you can stop and rest when you are tired, which is enough luxury for human beings in the last days.

Dragged the heavy truck vigorously through the mountains, Li Xiaofei, Qin Yurou, and Xie Xiaodan also came down to help push the truck, and dragged the truck up the rugged mountain road with difficulty, but the desire to get home soon made everyone seem to have inexhaustible energy.

When the natural small valley surrounded by mountains appeared in front of everyone's eyes again, Qin Yurou and Xie Xiaodan screamed and rushed towards the hot spring in the middle desperately. Several men could only shake their heads helplessly and smile bitterly, and first moved the things on the truck back to the cave little by little.

The next day, Zou Lang and Chi Hua worked together to fix the solar panels on the cliff, and when the lights came on in the cave, Qin Yurou and Xie Xiaodan jumped happily and hugged each other. Many seemingly ordinary things in life are only truly realized when we lose them, electricity, water, clean air, and relatives and friends!

The days in the valley are dull and full.

Luo Zhigang and Chi Hua discussed, and first distributed the most important harvest of the trip to everyone - crystal nuclei, thanks to the crazy hunting in the Xining Zoo, a total of 16 crystal nuclei were harvested on this trip, two per person, and the remaining two were temporarily placed in Luo Zhigang's place as public goods.

Except for Luo Zhigang, Chi Hua and Li Xiaofei, the others were all taking the crystal nucleus for the first time, and several people looked at the magical beads that circulated with a strange luster, and their hearts were full of various complex emotions such as longing, reverence, and fear. When the energy in the crystal nucleus dissolves in the body, a warm feeling that penetrates the limbs and the whole body spreads through the body.

When several people woke up from their sleep, they were excited to find that their physical fitness and abilities had been greatly improved, and as soon as Qin Yurou raised his hand, there were three wind blades in a row, leaving three and a half-foot-deep marks on the stone wall, and then he also made a provocative "cut you carefully" action to Zou Lang. Zou Lang stepped a little on the ground, and his body "swished" into the air, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

When Qin Yurou and the others were immersed in the joy of strength improvement, a question still shrouded Chi Hua's heart, "Yan Jie evolved his ability because he took the crystal nucleus, but once a person evolves the ability, no matter what type of crystal nucleus is used, no new ability will be generated, so the conclusion is that the crystal nucleus is only a catalyst and nutrient, not the reason for human evolution, so what is the reason for the real evolution of human beings?" Is it really an unknown virus? ”

After that, Luo Zhigang and Chi Hua asked everyone to conduct intensive training in the morning, especially team cooperation training, to adapt to new capabilities and rapid response to various emergencies, and finally determine everyone's roles and tasks in the team, with Luo Zhigang and Chi Hua in charge of the main attack, Qin Yurou and Yan Jie in charge of auxiliary attacks behind the two, Li Xiaofei in charge of harassment and sneak attacks, Zou Lang in charge of strong attacks and surprise attacks, and Xie Xiaodan in charge of support and treatment.

The rest of the time is at his own disposal, and Chi Hua except takes Li Xiaofei to practice knife skills and flying knives for two hours a day, which is to clean up the cave where the two live.

Luo Zhigang visited the cave by chance, and his jaw dropped in shock. Originally, more than 4 meters deep dwarf stone cave was really transformed into a fairy cave by the two of them, the stone wall directly above the entrance of the cave was smoothed out of a piece, impressively carved "oblique moon three-star hole" five big characters, into the hole is a living room of seven or eight meters, there is a stone table, four stone benches, there are metal teapots, teacups on the table, the stone bench is covered with wolf skin. There is also a five- or six-square-meter hut on the left and right sides of the living room, with a stone bed in the house, Chi Hua's bed is covered with a tiger skin, Li Xiaofei's bed is covered with a dog skin, and a closet of different sizes is also taken out of the hole, with books, game consoles, flying knives and other various odds and ends of the two.

Once Qin Yurou and Xie Xiaodan came to visit, after seeing the layout of the two caves, they wanted to change holes with the two, and finally forced Chi Hua to agree to help the two renovate the cave, and the two left happily.

Young men and women who are idle are always creating sparks, intentionally or unintentionally. For example, Qin Yurou and Xie Xiaodan always like to run to Chi Hua's cave when they have nothing to do, Yan Jie and Zou Lang always revolve around Xie Xiaodan intentionally or unintentionally, and Li Xiaofei is willing to play with Qin Yurou, but Qin Yurou is very distressed about this.

During this period, Luo Zhigang and Chi Hua had a secret conversation. Luo Zhigang looked at the snowfall and sighed, how many people will survive after this winter?

"It's not the cold weather that really kills humanity, it's humanity itself, maybe more than 100 million people will die this winter, and there will be many more in the future!" Chi Hua stood beside Luo Zhigang and said in a low tone something that seemed completely unrelated to him.

Luo Zhigang didn't speak, just looked at Chi Hua with inquiring eyes.

Chi Hua smiled bitterly, "When we went out this time, we saw how many people died of cold and starvation?" How many people died at the hands of mutated animals? No matter how harsh the environment is, humans can survive it, and no matter how powerful the animal humans are, they have a way to overcome it! But we see more people dying from cannibalism among human beings, and dozens of people are dying at our hands, right? ”

Luo Zhigang sighed heavily and shook his head painfully, "We humans have too many desires, maybe this is our nature, this is like this inexplicable nuclear war, one day we will destroy ourselves!" ”

"There's nothing wrong with desire, it's wrong that desire isn't restrained! Big brother, do you know why the Three Kingdoms period was the least populous in Chinese history, only 16 million, 40 million fewer than the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty? Do you know why, in just 70 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, China's population quadrupled, growing by 900 million? Chi Hua didn't wait for Luo Zhigang to answer, but said directly: "It's because of order!" With order and rules, human beings will not kill each other, and they will be punished if they go out of the circle, and people's desires will naturally be restrained. ”

"Big brother, instead of being compassionate here, it is better for us to set the rules and build order!" Chi Hua looked at Luo Zhigang's eyes and said calmly.

Luo Zhigang's eyes lit up, and suddenly burst into a hot gaze, and then punched Chi Hua's chest, "You kid, one set!" ”

Ordinary days are like flowing water, and suddenly they flow quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was the middle of March, and at this time of the year in the south of the Yangtze River, the grass was already growing, and the daytime temperature in the northwest was also about 10 degrees, but because of the thick radiation clouds on the head, the temperature outside during the day was still only zero degrees, but everyone still decided to embark on a new journey.

When most people in the last days are still working hard for a full meal and a comfortable environment, Luo Zhigang, Chi Hua and others took the initiative to walk out of the comfortable environment in order to pursue an exciting life? In pursuit of greater power? To take on more responsibilities as an evolutionary? Maybe even they can't tell, because people always have all kinds of desires that can never be satisfied!

Everyone looked back again and reluctantly glanced at this quiet small valley, and found that the original few narrow holes have now become well-known gods and demons caves, "Leaning Moon Three Star Cave", "Pansi Cave", "Huoyun Cave", "Jilei Mountain Moyun Cave", "Water Curtain Cave" and so on are impressively listed, and everyone can't help but laugh.
