Chapter 2: Beginning Evolution

When Tong Xiaorou heard this, she didn't dare to say anything, so she took her sister to turn over a stone next to her, and then sat down on the side that was not too hot.

The sun in the sky is scorching, cloudless, and the temperature is more than 50 degrees, which is simply scary.

The ground beneath his feet was cracked, there were almost no weeds, and where there was once grass had been dug up.

There is a giant tree with a diameter of two or three meters, but most of them are dead.

The bark of the trees that are not dead within two or three meters of the ground is also gone, and there are more than ten meters of bare area above, and the canopy of the trees above is also dead leaves, and there is no food at all.

Anyway, Jiang Cheng couldn't eat it even if he wanted to, and he couldn't imagine how those wilderness people could swallow this old bark.

According to the memories in his mind, Jiang Cheng learned that this world has been dry for nearly ten years, and the crops have not been harvested.

Of course, that's in the wild.

There are camps in this world, and high walls protect some of the superior people inside.

The people inside seem to have high technology and can cultivate without soil, but soilless cultivation also requires water, so even if it is a camp person, there is not much food.

Therefore, a small camp of a few hundred people, many tens of thousands of people, and many more people are wandering around in search of food and water.

The original body used to be a small camp person, the family was not bad, after the death of the father, the mother adopted the then twelve years old Tong Xiaorou and the newborn maid, both of whom were considered the child daughter-in-law that the original mother found for the original body.

But the camp where the original body was located was in the driest area, and that camp was breached by the wilderness people three years ago, and the food and various resources were robbed.

Then the camp collapsed, and the survivors ran away, migrating all the way to the area with the impression of abundant rain.

On the way to migration, the family encountered all kinds of troubles and dangers, and the original mother fell asleep and never woke up after being injured once.

In the past three years, the original body took Tong Xiaorou and Yaya, traveled all the way, and walked thousands of miles to this place called Dafan Basin.

It was once the most rainwatery area on the map, and it was a tropical rainforest.

But as a result, there was also a drought here, as you could see from the dead trees.

"It's a real problem...... Why did you suddenly cross over? ”

Finally sorted out the memories of his predecessor, Jiang Cheng was helpless.

He can't even remember what he was doing before the crossing (foreshadowing, oh my god, I'd better mark it, I find that everyone ignores this place, is there a weird talk rule that affects cognition?). )。

And based on the memories of the original body, he knew that the dangers of this world were far more than drought, lack of food, and other human beings.

Because, in this world, there are evolutionary people, or mutants who have failed to evolve.

There will also be monsters at night.

In a word-

The year of the catastrophe is a demon!

Evolvers, also known as Awakened Ones, have various abilities, and those Evolvers themselves will rely on their strength to run rampant and oppress others.

It's messy everywhere.

Suddenly, Jiang Cheng saw Yaya groping on the cracked ground, and then picked up a pebble and was about to put it in his mouth.

"You can't eat this." He hurriedly slapped the stone off the girl's hand.

Yaya was startled, and hurriedly hid behind Tong Xiaorou, looking at him with a frightened expression.

"Don't hit her, if you want to...... Just hit me. Tong Xiaorou hurriedly stood up and said, although she was also scared, she still firmly protected her sister behind her.

"Not ......"

Jiang Cheng explained: "I'm sorry to scare you. But you can't eat stones, you'll die. ”

"But...... Yaya is so hungry......" Yaya, who was hiding behind Tong Xiaorou, said aggrievedly, not daring to look at Jiang Cheng.

Tong Xiaorou was afraid that her sister would be beaten, so she hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, she's not sensible...... I know you haven't eaten in a long time, it's all our bad ......"

Saying that, she thought of the various experiences of fleeing all the way, and looked at her sister who was hungry and wanted to eat stones, and suddenly covered Yaya's ears, lowered her head like ashes and said: "Either you will eat me, but please give some to Yaya, don't tell her ......"

"Shut up!"

Jiang Cheng scolded violently and looked at her in shock.

It is absolutely impossible for him to eat people, and he, who comes from a peaceful world and has a higher education, would rather starve to death!

Tong Xiaorou's delicate body trembled, and she was too frightened to say any more.

Although I have the will to die, I should still be afraid.

Jiang Cheng sighed heavily.

What kind of world is this?

It didn't seem to be a strange thing at all for people to eat people here, and it hit his heart hard.

"I'm sorry to let you follow me to be wronged, my mother said six years ago that she would guarantee you food." He sighed.

This is also the reason why the predecessor insisted on taking two daughters, and the predecessor was a very filial person.

But that's all, the predecessor didn't like Tong Xiaorou, everything was just because of responsibility.

Tong Xiaorou couldn't help but be a little surprised when she heard this, Jiang Chengke had never apologized to them before.

"In short, don't eat indiscriminately, and don't have the idea of dying. I'm going to find food, trust me! ”

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, feeling his increasingly weak body, and then looked at the sun, which had begun to set westward, and made up his mind in his heart.

"We have to find a way to solve the situation! If only I had become an evolutionary......"

As soon as this thought fell, suddenly he was like an electric flash, goosebumps arose, the whole cerebral cortex was numb, and his hair stood on end, as if something was awakeningβ€”

At the same time, from scratch in my mind, a panel slowly appeared, on which subtitles appeared:

[Suddenly coming to this cannibalistic world, I am very uneasy in my heart, and my physical condition is also very bad, and I must solve the dilemma in front of me as soon as possible. So I decided to start evolving! 】

[However, I need an introduction, which is the key to opening the path of evolution.] 】

[Now, all I need to do is put my palm on the tree and think about my life......]

These titles appear and then disappear slowly, like a gradient layer.

Jiang Cheng: "??? ”

His eyes flickered, and then he tried to follow the feeling of darkness, and pressed his palm to the giant tree in front of him that had lost its bark, while thinking back to his life.

Immediately afterwards, a kind of enlightenment, like a life insight, came to mind.

Images of his past life flashed through his mind like a slideshow, and finally settled on one of the games.

The next moment, like a blessing to his heart, his mind moved, and an indescribable power spread out from the depths of his body, extending along the palm of his hand to the big tree in front of him-

"Little Wood +1"

"+1 XP"

With this experience, it is like a pebble falling into the water, causing waves.

Then I saw that on the panel in my mind, words and numbers appeared one after another:

[Jiang Cheng (Zero Order): LV.0 (1.00%)]

[Health: 0.4]

[Gathering (Zero Order): My hand can collect everything, and when I put my hand on it, I can extract the materials I want through my mind]

[Synthesis (Tier 0): I can fuse different materials, leaving random characteristics]

[Space Backpack: 1/10]

These are personal information.

Below, a new subtitle appears:

[The path of evolution has begun, but I am only a quasi-awakened person at the moment, and I cannot directly obtain food for the time being. When I reach level 10 and level 1, I will be considered a true Awakened One, and I will no longer have to worry about food. 】

[I found that as long as I continue to collect resources, I can gain upgrade experience, but that is only to open the upper limit of the realm, unlock the genetic lock, and I still need to work hard to gain stronger strength. 】

These subtitles appear and then slowly disappear, and eventually only personal information is left on the panel.

Jiang Cheng: "!! ”

Of the ten compartments of the space backpack, there is already a piece of wood in the first compartment.

He took it out and looked at it, and found that the wood was arm thick, one meter long, and of good quality, and it was a fine fine wood, which could be used as a stick.

Tong Xiaorou looked at the wooden stick in Jiang Cheng's hand suspiciously, she didn't know where the wooden stick came from, but she didn't dare to ask, just watched silently.

Jiang Cheng put away the wood, put his hand on the tree again, and his mind moved: "Gather." ”

"Little Wood +1"

"+1 XP"

"Little Wood +1"

"+1 XP"

……

A piece of wood can be harvested almost every second.

More and more wood appears in the Space Backpack, and experience increases.

Almost every time you gain a little experience, your experience progress increases by one percent.

So almost two minutes later, when the wood collected ninety-nine again, the experience was directly full.

Jiang Cheng only felt that his body was slightly hot, and then his level went from level zero to level 1.

Life has also increased from 0.4 to 0.5.

As for the physique and strength, I hardly felt the improvement, but I just didn't feel so dizzy.

Jiang Cheng's eyes flashed, and then he continued to collect.
