Chapter 39 Setting the Scene, Evolution
Chapter 39 Setting the Scene, Evolution
I went upstairs and entered the house.
living room.
With a "whoosh," Li Hao poured the evolution stones from the bag onto the table.
The table was covered with evolution stones of different sizes.
Most of them are the size of a grain of rice, and a small portion is the size of a little finger.
Most of the little finger evolution stones are pale white, with only a few being milky white.
"Hahaha, bro, we're really rich!"
Looking at the many gleaming evolution stones, Li Wen was as excited as if he had seen a pile of priceless diamonds, and he couldn't stop smiling.
It is no exaggeration to say that in this world, evolution stones are more precious than diamonds.
He kept touching this and that.
"This is something our brothers risked their lives for." Li Hao smiled, a surge of joy welling up inside him.
He held the largest evolution stone in his hand; it felt warm and smooth like jade.
I looked at my arms; they were covered in bite wounds.
It can be said to be covered in wounds.
To obtain so many evolution stones, one needs not only strength, but also courage and boldness.
If we had chosen to flee when we saw the rat swarm, we wouldn't have achieved what we have now.
Without sufficient strength, the two brothers would also be overwhelmed by the rat horde, just like the other Dawn members who died.
Courage and strength are both indispensable.
"for you."
Li Hao separated half of the evolution stone and moved it in front of Li Wen.
This includes two of the most concentrated milky-white evolution stones.
"Brother, I won't stand on ceremony, I'm going to start eating!"
Li Wen picked up the largest milky-white evolution stone and threw it into his mouth.
Crunch it open, then gulp it down.
A tremendous surge of heat coursed through his body.
Li Hao also threw the large evolution stone into his mouth and swallowed it.
The two men were brimming with energy, their bodies radiating a misty vapor.
the other side.
Wang Hao led his men out again and brought back the yams.
It took several trips to move everything.
Su Tiantian's home.
Zhang Xiaonan said mysteriously to her, "Our eldest brother killed someone today!"
Su Tiantian trembled and whispered, "Ah! Kill who?"
"He was a mutant. He stole the eldest brother's evolution stone and was beheaded by the eldest brother with an axe..." Zhang Xiaonan told Su Tiantian the details, still feeling a lingering fear.
That's murder.
This was the first time she had ever witnessed a murder in person; she had only ever seen such things on television before.
It happened right before her eyes today.
This feeling is completely different.
Su Tiantian suddenly grabbed her arm. "That's terrifying! If this happened on Earth, you'd be arrested and shot!"
Her heart pounded just thinking about that scene.
Unexpectedly, their eldest brother became a murderer.
She looked at Zhang Xiaonan with concern, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Why don't we leave our eldest brother and go join Dawn?"
She joined Zhao Meng because of her desire for freedom and her unwillingness to be bound by anything.
But now, there is a risk of being killed under his command!
If she had to seek refuge with another family, Dawn would be the first place she thought of.
I thought of Li Hao and Li Wen.
I believe the two of them will take care of them.
Zhang Xiaonan panicked, "Didn't you hear what I just said? Brother Zhao Meng said he hates being betrayed the most. If he sees us betraying him, will he kill us too?!"
The image of Zhao Meng chopping off heads and turning around to threaten them kept flashing through her mind.
His expression in the video is extremely ferocious.
She believed that what he said was definitely not a joke.
Su Tiantian touched her neck, a shiver running through her body. "Then let's stay here for now."
She dared not mention going to Dawn again, and changed the subject, pointing to the three fish on the table, "You've worked hard all day, and you only have three fish. Look at me."
She pointed to the dead rat on the table, "All I had to do was say a few nice words, and I got this big rat."
"Li Wen is still the best to me."
His face showed a very smug expression.
"That's really impressive." Zhang Xiaonan nodded.
"But I earned it through my own hard work, so I feel more at ease using my own things. Besides, I have evolution stones, and you don't." Zhang Xiaonan spread out her palms, revealing two evolution stones the size of rice grains.
"Wow, so this is an evolution stone."
"We're best friends, here's one for you."
"Yay! Xiaonan, you're so good to me, I love you to death, kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss~" Su Tiantian cheered and jumped for joy, hugging Zhang Xiaonan tightly and kissing her face wildly.
Zhao Meng's home, balcony.
The fish was grilled until it sizzled and oozed oil.
His wife pressed on Zhao Meng's shoulder from behind, "Honey, you did the right thing. Only by doing this will you establish your authority and make them fear you."
Although she heard that her husband had killed someone, Zhao Meng's wife did not feel scared at all, and even thought that her husband had done the right thing.
"I was too kind before," Zhao Meng said sarcastically, taking a bite of fish.
Grandpa Huang's house.
The middle-aged man said to Grandpa Huang, "Grandpa Huang, this fruit has been tested by parrots and several dogs, and it has been confirmed that it is not poisonous. You can eat it without worry."
Once he confirmed that the fruit was not poisonous, he brought it over to Grandpa Huang.
Grandpa Huang examined the green fruit in his hand. It was about the size of an apple and was grass green. "Hmm, this fruit is quite special."
He took a bite, squinted, and nodded. "It tastes pretty good."
The middle-aged man said, "The tree that grows this fruit is as hard as an iron tree; you can't even cut it with a knife."
Grandpa Huang took another bite. "That tree is a good thing. We can make use of it. Also, take some more people tomorrow and pick more of these fruits."
"There are not only poisonous snakes there, but also a huge snake." The middle-aged man's expression suddenly changed.
He thought of the large snake he had seen before he left.
He was worried that he wouldn't be able to handle such a big snake.
Grandpa Huang patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Bingcheng, you've been with me for several years now, don't you know how to do things?"
He shouted, "So what if there's a giant snake? And how could you leave the corpses of our Huang family members outside!"
"Even if there's a large snake, we must go and bring it back."
"Otherwise, how can I explain this to the families?"
"What about the giant snake?" Huang Bingcheng asked.
They couldn't even handle those small snakes, let alone the big ones.
"The giant snake, we can't handle it. Why don't you ask someone else to help? Have you forgotten about Dawn?" Old Master Huang gave him a meaningful look.
Huang Bingcheng immediately understood, "What do you mean?"
"That's exactly what you mean. If you dare to mess with the Huang family, you'll be in trouble tomorrow!" He stretched out his palm and made a cutting motion.
This action startled Huang Bingcheng.
Are you going to make a move so soon?
"Those two brothers, Li Hao and Li Wen, are very strong. Isn't it a bit too early to make a move so soon?" Huang Bingcheng said worriedly.
Today, he was already taken aback by Li Hao's strength. Dragging such a heavy thing, he felt that even if several mutants attacked at the same time, they probably wouldn't be able to do anything to Li Hao.
"Given Li Hao's rate of improvement, we must act now, or we'll have even less of a chance later."
Grandpa Huang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Remember, this neighborhood will belong to the Huang family in the future. Now you don't need to be so cautious in what you do. You have to be ruthless to get things done."
Huang Bingcheng pondered, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, then nodded vigorously, "I understand!"
Grandpa Huang then reminded him, "By the way, take some fruit to Jingchen. He was injured because of our Huang family. We can't neglect him just because he's injured."
"Okay." Huang Bingcheng nodded and left.
At Liu Xueqin's home.
Liu Xueqin's husband stroked her face and then hugged her waist from behind: "Wife, you've lost weight, you've become very slim, and you look even more beautiful."
He laughed and said, "At least I saved money on weight loss."
"Mom looks so beautiful," Mengmeng said with a smile, holding Liu Xueqin's hand.
Liu Xueqin walked to the mirror, and saw that she looked much slimmer.
Unlike the others who were thin and bony, she had a rosy complexion and very elastic skin.
It's like I've suddenly become many years younger.
Stunningly beautiful.
No wonder her husband and Mengmeng both said she's become more beautiful.
Looking at her pretty face and slender figure, she felt a surge of happiness.
Wang Hao's home.
Wang Hao's wife lay to his left, saying, "Honey, so many people died today, I was really worried about you."
His daughter lay on his right side, hugging his arm tightly, and said in her childish voice, "Daddy, I can't live without you."
Wang Hao patted their heads and said with a smile, "I'm fine. We at Shuguang have Li Hao. He's very capable and will protect me."
"It's the one that brought in the most and biggest rats today."
"Yes, that's the one."
·······
Building 10, Unit 905.
"Bang bang bang".
Someone knocked on the door.
Li Hao looked through the peephole and saw a girl standing outside.
It's the girl who was almost pounced on by a rat and was saved by them.
"What's the matter?" Li Hao asked as he opened the door.
Li Wen also poked his head out.
When the girl saw Li Hao, a smile immediately appeared on her face. She glanced at Li Wen and said to the two of them, "I've come to thank you for saving me. This is just a small token of my appreciation."
She handed me a bag of kiwis.
Li Hao took the bag. "You're welcome. We're all part of Dawn, so helping each other is only right."
The girl smiled sweetly, "My name is Chen Sihan, and I live in apartment 302 in the next building. If you need anything from me in the future, feel free to call me anytime."
"Um."
···········
Dawn breaks.
In the mountains and forests, the grass and tree branches are covered with dew.
The neighborhood is bathed in sunlight.
In the bathroom, Zhao Meng got up to urinate and suddenly noticed that his hands were covered in scales.
"This is!"
He got excited and started making a lot of noise.
An electric current surged from his hand.
"what!"
I got an electric shock in my genitals.
It caused his whole body to convulse.
He quickly put on his pants and carefully examined his hands.
Its hands were covered in bluish-gold scales, just like the scales on that big fish.
Under his control, his hands crackled with electricity.
"Wife!"
He excitedly left the bathroom, casually pulling the door open with a "click."
He broke through the entire door.
"Big brother! Big brother! I've evolved!"
Huang Mao excitedly knocked on the door from the outside, extremely excited.
After Zhao Meng opened the door, Huang Mao stretched out his hands.
Look at my hands.
His hands were covered with tiny, silvery-yellow scales.
Zhao Meng smirked, "It's so small, is it even as big as mine?"
He stretched out his arm.
The scales on its arm were a size larger than those on the yellow fur.
Moreover, the cyan-gold color has a more refined feel.
The two scales are clearly not in the same league.
"Holy crap, how come you have one too, bro!" The blond guy exclaimed, his mouth agape in surprise.
"I'm your older brother. Even you have it, let alone me." Zhao Meng's lips curled into a confident smile.
"Brother," the blond-haired man exclaimed excitedly, "I can still breathe underwater! Look, I have gills!" He pointed to his gills, which opened and closed, "They're like a fish's gills!"
He then pointed to his legs, "And my legs, when they touch the water, they turn into a mermaid's tail!"
He asked, "Big brother, do you think I've turned into a merman?"
Zhao Meng glanced at his face and said, "You're quite ugly, you mermaid."
··········
on the balcony.
"Brother, I feel like I could punch my past self to death!" Li Wen excitedly waved his fist.
Li Hao smiled as he looked at the distant mountains and forests.
The scenery a kilometer away is clearly visible.
The dew on the leaves and the ants on the grass seem so close at hand.
Not only did his strength increase, but his eyes also evolved!
After the two finished breakfast, the members of Dawn gathered.
I went downstairs.
Li Hao saw members of the Huang family next to the members of Dawn, including Huang Jingchen.
Huang Jingchen's arm, which he had broken, is now almost indistinguishable from a normal person's arm, and he can still easily lift an axe.
This surprised Li Hao slightly, as he hadn't expected the other person's arm to have recovered so quickly.
It has a strong healing ability.
He touched his arm; the wound from yesterday had already scabbed over and would be almost fully healed by tonight.
Li Wen glanced at the Huang family members beside him and said, "Brother, why are the Huang family members standing with our Shuguang? What do you think they're up to?"
Li Hao thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he'll come out with us today."
Li Wen guessed, "Could it be that they saw how many rats Dawn got yesterday, so they want to get a share of the pie today?"
Niu Dazhuang, Zhang Jingfeng, and Zhou Mengting greeted Li Hao and Li Wen when they saw them.
Li Hao noticed that there were a few more mutants in the team today.
At this moment, Wang Hao, seeing that most of the people had arrived, said with a smile from above,
"Congratulations to another member of our Dawn team for successfully undergoing mutation!"
Three people have been mutated and are standing on it.
The three men's arms were covered in long hair like those of mutated rats, and their muscles were bulging.
His physique was noticeably larger than the others.
The crowd applauded.
After introducing the three people, Wang Hao began to talk about today's topic.
"The Huang family discovered a wild fruit forest, but because there were many poisonous snakes there, and a huge snake lurking, they couldn't handle it alone, so they invited us to go hunting with them."
Huang Bingcheng of the Huang family glanced at the Dawn people below, paused for a moment at Li Hao, and said,
"We're all from the same neighborhood. This is our first time working together, and I hope it goes well. If we can really kill that giant snake, we'll discuss how to distribute the spoils then."
"Set off!"
