Chapter 17: Returning Home
There are two possibilities for evolution
One is that in a desperate situation, a strong desire to survive will forcibly cause the body to undergo non-directional evolution, so as to break free from the predicament. Just like when Mu Hua was dying in the belly of a snake, he was originally an ape, and he had an undirected evolution, and now no one can say what kind of species it is.
The second is the advancement of ranks, from the ten-captain to the centurion to the thousand-commander, to the thousand-commander, so that the first shackle of genes is broken and the life level that few living beings have reached - the general level. Each advancement produces directed evolution, in other words, the selective evolution of organisms. When Mu Hua advanced to the commander of a thousand years, his brain domain expanded, and although he could not see any changes in his appearance, it played a vital role in his future growth.
Orientation is compared to non-directional, you don't need to force yourself into a desperate situation, but because it is the direction chosen by the living beings independently, a slight wrong step is a catastrophe.
Of course, these are the creatures that have embarked on the path of domination in response to the evolution of species on the land of Kyushu, and what awaits them will be unimaginable torture for all things.
If the original giant python survives, it will enter the realm of the general rank and become a dragon. After experiencing all kinds of tribulations, after practicing the invincible dragon, you can break through the second layer of restraint and jump over the dragon gate to become a real dragon. It has already appeared with dragon blood, and the first restraint is like a layer of window paper for it, but unfortunately it has encountered a strange tree spirit, and a dragon is missing in this world.
Let's go back to Muhua's side
Hours had passed since his hasty escape from Snowtown, and he had not stopped until the red sun rose in the east.
There was nothing behind him except the rolling mountains, and a few foraging centurions made Mu Hua's heart gradually calm down after a night of fear.
"I'm still far away" The giant butterfly last night completely shattered the pride in Mu Hua's heart, and that fear will be engraved in his heart for the rest of his life.
After resting for a long time, Mu Hua, who had recovered his strength, hit the road again.
However, after walking for about ten minutes, a small fish village comes into view.
"Arrived?" As a second personality, he didn't know if this was Lin Muhua's home, but his body was extremely relaxed the moment he saw Yuzhuang, and he had never felt it before.
"You're home," he said, patting his chest and turning to his sleeping master.
Beneath the snow, there are dilapidated houses and streets, probably located on the coast, where there are few creatures on land. The sea breeze blowing from the seashore carries a slight fishy smell, adding a little chill to this small fish farm.
"Huh? We're not dead yet? ”
"Heal yourself with a high fever." Mu Hua said with a smile, as he expected, the familiar environment would awaken the sleeping master personality in his body.
"Thank you" The personality of the master who had just woken up from his slumber was still a little tired, not only physically, but also seriously ill at that time, which consumed some of his remaining vitality. At that time, the second personality replaced him in Uta, otherwise he would really be buried in Uta.
"Come out and have a look, it's your home after all." Mu Hua hesitated for a while, but still said to the main character.
"Good" does not shirk, the main personality replaces the second personality and regains control of the body.
Everything in front of me was as I remembered, the blue sky, the slightly fishy sea breeze, and the faint sound of waves crashing on the beach, except for the dilapidated houses and people who were hidden by the snow.
Lin Muhua's steps were very slow, quietly looking at the scenery along the road. I have lived in a place for more than ten years, and I never want to come back again.
After walking for a long time, they came to a slip-on house, which was still relatively intact because there were few living creatures.
"We're home, dick"
"You're calling me?"
"Hahaha, I never knew what to call you appropriately, just calling you by your name feels like talking to yourself."
"Hmm"
Following the stairs, the two came to the fourth floor. The master stood in front of the door of 402 for a long time, his body trembling slightly.
"Don't you go in?"
"I'm afraid to see what I don't want to see"
"It's going to be fine"
"Well, let's go inside."
Pushing open the door that was blocked by cement, after four years, Lin Muhua finally returned home. It's just that no one prepares a delicious meal anymore, and no one rushes out to hold him.
Fortunately, after checking around, no bodies of relatives were found in the house.
Gently patted the dust off the bed, and lay down a little tired. His right hand was in front of him, and two lines of tears slipped down the corners of his eyes. It is said that men don't flick when they have tears, but that's just because it's not time to be sad.
"Dad, Mom, Min, I'm home"
In the empty room, no one responded to him, and Mu Hua, who was in consciousness, didn't know how to comfort his "big brother".
After being quiet for a long time, and feeling the mood of the main personality ease slightly, Mu Hua asked, "Min is your brother?" ”
Wiping away the tears on his face, Lin Muhua sat cross-legged at the head of the bed.
"Well, my brother." Speaking of his younger brother, Lin Muhua, who was originally sad, showed a smile, "He is very well-behaved, but he doesn't like to eat, he is too thin." ”
"I think they should now..." Speaking of this, Mu Hua paused, thinking about whether he should tell him that his girlfriend had died and turned into a ghost, and shook his head or forget it, first, he had promised her that it would not be good to go back on his word, and second, it was not the time for his personality to be in such a state now, and then said, "I should live in human territory." ”
"Hmm"
There was silence for a while, and neither of them knew what to say.
"Do you have any plans for the future?" Lin Muhua broke the quiet atmosphere and asked.
"I don't know"
"Maybe we can make a home here"
"Is land king? I'm afraid of another giant eagle. The previous events made Mu Hua very jealous, and being content with the status quo seemed to him to be tantamount to suicide.
"Well, can the body lend me one night? I want to have a good look. ”
"Feel free, I'll rest first."
"Thanks"
……
The sound of low breathing sounded, it was only one night, but it was enough, and he wanted to confirm something.
On this night, Yuzhuang became a city that never sleeps. The few centurions hid in astonishment in the ruins, not daring to go out.
The snow was swept up by the wind that appeared out of thin air, and the corpses formed a layer of frost in the cold wind, and Lin Muhua's figure appeared in the surrounding houses, turning over the corpses.
A few hours later, dragging his body tired, Lin Muhua returned home. There was a slight sense of relief on his face.
Last night, he searched the town and opened thousands of corpses. The bodies of relatives were not found, and many bullet casings and mutilated bodies of prehistoric creatures were found in the ruins.
The fish village is near the sea, and more than 10,000 people live here. Kyushu's fleet may have landed here for the first time, and the few prehistoric creatures could not have devoured thousands of people, and the remaining corpses did not find their loved ones at night. The biggest possibility is to be left by the army.
But with the last knot in his heart, Lin Muhua lay back on the bed. It feels like I've gone back to the past. Dad will turn on the light to make sure he is asleep, although he has been complaining, but he has not been able to change, Mom will ask if the quilt is thick enough? Would you like to add another bed? The younger brother would get into the bed and die trying to sleep with him.
"Good Night"
This night, Lin Muhua slept soundly. In my dream, I smelled the tomato brisket made by my mother again.
