Volume 1 Prehistoric Wars Chapter 57 Reserve Grain
Hundreds of years have passed, and the world in the game is still running meticulously, and what makes Lao Fang feel incredible is that the group of earth humans he controlled before are still living in the world of the game.
Ninety-nine percent of these people were mentally retarded when Lao Fang gave up the game, but now, he doesn't have to worry about it anymore, nature has corrected this phenomenon.
However, what made Lao Fang smile bitterly was that the earthlings in front of him were no longer earthlings at all.
Some people have fluffy and a tail, like a monkey.
Well, this is an atavistic phenomenon, and the old party will admit it.
But there are also people who not only have a body of hair, but also a pair of wings, like a bat, is this a vampire?
There are also some who have no legs and a huge snake tail on their lower bodies, is this Nima Naga?
Lao Fang was very hurt, he felt broken, without his constraints, these guys directly hooked up with other creatures, and also produced many mutant varieties.
These mutations made Lao Fang feel unacceptable, and he felt that these people in front of him were no longer pure people.
Soon, Lao Fang overcame the rejection in his heart, and after seeing so many species mutate in evolution, his nerves were much bigger than before, and when he was in middle school, he also played Blizzard's famous battle game "StarCraft", although he didn't play Zerg much, but at least in terms of this biological mutation, he had a kind of mental preparation.
He re-examined the current people, although he was not very comfortable with some evolution, but he was gradually able to understand that each species has a strong sense of survival, which exists in the genes of each individual, and if the current environment is not suitable for the survival of the current individual, this gene will make corresponding adjustments in the next inheritance, just like the sea dragon people have lived underwater for a long time, and some organs in their bodies have completely become underwater creatures.
The present situation is different from the previous one, in which two different kinds of organisms, after mating, have mixed in their genes some characteristics of the other species, and this mutation is caused by the behavior of the individual organisms, and the offspring they produce inherit the characteristics of this mixed gene, like the griffin.
The naga or vampire-like creatures in front of you are the result of human beings intercourse with other species.
Lao Fang felt that he had no right to accuse these guys, and at the critical time, he abandoned them, and if he hadn't lost hope in them, they wouldn't have fallen to this.
In any case, this one has to end in the hands of the old side, whether it is to lead them to the road of hegemony or to annihilate the whole army, this responsibility should be borne by the old side himself, because he chose them at the beginning.
Lao Fang didn't hesitate too much, he checked the situation of the entire human race, in hundreds of years, the total population has reached tens of thousands, of course, including which mutations.
The number of tens of thousands, if it was placed when Lao Fang just gave up, it might be a very good force, but now, this game world has gone through hundreds of years of strife, many forces have swallowed up the surrounding species, and humans, mixed with several major forces, have mostly become vassals of other races, and even some of the less competitive ones have completely become the reserve food of some beast races.
The fortifications that Lao Fang had built for them had long been destroyed and turned into clouds of smoke, and the bronze and gold tools reserved for them had also become treasures of other races, but fortunately, when he gave up, all of them were mentally retarded, so his method of refining metals had not yet been mastered by other races.
He carefully analyzed the current situation, and at present, the place with the highest concentration of human beings is a river valley, where about 6,000 people live.
But they are in a very bad situation, because this valley is surrounded by a huge force, the two-headed lizard, and the results are not good, these people are like herbivores, they are kept in captivity by this force, and their fate is to give the two-headed lizard a tooth sacrifice and fill the belly.
At this time, it is already winter, and the temperature of the wind has been lethal to all things, and it is the season when all things wither.
During the day, these people came out of the smelly caves, most of them skinny, their legs as if they had no strength to support their bodies, and they were bent over, their backs hunched, and they shrank slightly in the wind.
Their messy hair, dull and numb eyes, and their skin was blue and purple, and the image was far worse than that of beggars on the street.
When winter comes, they don't even have a palm-sized fur on their bodies, and I really don't know how they will survive this winter.
When the light of the morning sun fell in the valley, some of them searched along the dry river, hoping to find something to satisfy their stomachs, and some walked towards the woods beside the valley, hoping to try their luck.
Someone was lucky enough to find a few fish less than two inches in a crack in a certain rock, and his eyes lit up, and he sent them into his mouth as quickly as he could.
Someone had sharp eyes and found a hole in water rats, he found two companions, and the three of them took turns digging for half a morning, and finally served this nest of water rats.
Some of the more hands-on people found sticks, stood in the icy water, waited for the fish to come in, and then went as fast as they could towards the harpoon.
Some people found shriveled wild fruits, some caught unlucky rabbits, and some were so hungry that they had no strength to lean against a tree and gnaw on its bark.
Lao Fang looked at this scene silently, he felt a trace of guilt, he had a lot of responsibility for causing this situation.
In the evening, most of the people returned, and a few remained, forever in some corner of the valley, some of them starving to the strength of their strength, and some of them had lost their lives forever.
The cave was pitch black, and at the same time silent, without any sound of communication, and everyone stared fixedly at the entrance of the cave where there was still a glimmer of daylight.
At this moment, more than 100 two-headed lizards swaggered into the river valley, and they were divided into several groups and walked into caves one by one.
The old man's focus was on a relatively large cave, which contained about 2,000 people, and at this time, he saw the two-headed lizard, and these people slowly stood up from the ground.
The thousands of people stood there in a daze, and several two-headed lizards approached, stretched out their paws and patted a person on the head, and the person seemed to wake up, his face changed, and then he obediently walked out of the crowd and stood in a clearing in front of the cave with his head down.
The two-headed lizards shook their heads, squinted their night eyes, and casually picked through the crowd, their criteria were simple, stout, tender-skinned adults were the objects of selection, and those who were shriveled, young, and pregnant were reserved for them.
……
At dawn, a ray of sunlight shone into the valley from the east, and nearly three thousand men and women, hugging their arms and shivering in the cold wind, walked out of the valley under the watchful eye of the two-headed lizard.
Perhaps it was the first time he walked out of the valley, a young man of fifteen or sixteen years, with a hint of curiosity in his numb eyes.
However, in this cold and windy season, the tall trees are all gone, and there is really no good view.
He was disappointed, and then stared blankly at the road ahead.
Lao Fang didn't take over immediately, he was waiting for a good time, but this time was delayed, so he watched patiently.
The group traveled south along a dry stream.
After walking for half an hour, another team walked out of the dense forest, and the leading two-headed lizard glanced at each other, and all the two-headed lizards on the other side threw a look of envy at the team.
This team is driving a herd of wild boars, and it takes a lot of effort to get the pigs on their way, and these guys, who often roll in the mud, are very dishonest and humming and chirping all the way. Running east and looking west, it's easy to get headlong into some bush and get lost.
The two-headed lizards struggled to chase away, baring their teeth and intimidating each other with sharp screeches.
Although the wild boar is nervous and vulgar, it still lacks the courage to resist in the face of large carnivores that are a cut above them.
Because the crowd was easier to manage, the group of two-headed lizards stopped, and all of them squatted numbly on the bank of the stream, waiting for the group of two-headed lizards to drive the boar away.
People sat honestly in the same place, and someone pulled out a few grasshoppers from the dry grass, and he put them in his mouth without a sound, and chewed gently, and the grasshoppers tasted good, and he felt very satisfied.
There are also people who pull up the grass and skillfully pluck its roots, although the surface of the grass is yellow, but the roots of the grass contain high moisture like young onions, and many of the roots have a hint of natural sweetness.
This man ate the grass roots with relish, and the others did the same, each taking advantage of this free time, to turn over a bag of grass.
The two-headed lizards turn one eye open and one eye closed, and as long as no one escapes, they can say anything, they lie on the sidelines, just nonchalantly watching.
Soon, the wild boar herd was taken care of by the two-headed lizards, and the group of two-headed lizards stood up, and the crowd immediately knew that it was time to set off, and everyone consciously stood up, and then followed the leading two-headed lizard silently.
More two-headed lizards followed unhurriedly after the crowd, they were very laid-back, and it was a beautiful mistake to take care of these bipedal erect animals compared to the previous group of wild boars, no wonder the two-headed lizards that drove away the wild boars were so envious of them.
The condition of the creek began to deteriorate, and the road was full of pits made by some kind of hooves, and in the old party's experience, there were at least tens of thousands of herbivores who had walked through this road in recent times.
The old man vaguely guessed the purpose of this group of two-headed lizards, winter was coming, and this group of two-headed lizards was stockpiling food.
And this group of people is just one kind of food.
