Chapter 143: The farmer and the snake

The first city lord of Rongcheng was a young couple. The male evolutionary name was Yan Chengmiao. At the beginning of the last days, his wife and his wife were both worthy of standing. Together with the old father in the family, he moved from a nearby town that had been destroyed by mutant beasts. He fled to Rongcheng, holding his two-year-old child who was still waiting to be fed, and survived here.
Because these southern bases are far away from large-scale bases in the interior, the garrison troops are not so regular. The last remaining troops for more than half a year after the end of the world have gradually scattered, and the entire base has fallen into a struggle for power.
At that time, Rongcheng was a place outside the law, and there were a lot of burning, killing and looting. The Yan family and Mr. Yan were both powerful evolutionary people, and there were many supporters in Rongcheng.
As one of the few highly capable evolved people in the base, Yan Chengmiao and his father led the people of Rongcheng to successfully resist the beast wave in the next beast wave that almost wiped out the entire base.
Since then, Yan Chengmiao has secured the position of City Lord Rongcheng.
And Rongcheng also ushered in a clean-up, the dark clouds covering the city base were swept away by a big hand, and light was ushered in the tense atmosphere of the base.
Various new systems and regulations were established under the correction of Yan Chengmiao and his wife. For a time, the public order in the base almost reached the pre-apocalyptic level, which is also mixed with the handwriting of Mr. Yan.
Old man Yan was named Yan Yongguo. He had a serious face. When he was young, he was a soldier who went shopping with real swords and guns on the battlefield. He had a deep understanding of weapons and so on. After the war years, he became addicted to Study the disassembly and assembly of various machines at home.
After the end of the world, relying on decades of craftsmanship to research armor and weapon production, the armors and improved weapons made are used to the extreme, and the father is also famous in the surrounding bases.
It is precisely because of the spirit and perseverance that he honed in the war to help rebuild a barren Rongcheng, and now the city wall outside Rongcheng is the design of the old man.
Just when everything was going to be formal and a harmonious and stable life for the family, the thriving Rongcheng base ushered in a huge change.
That was the moment when the third heavy fog had just arrived. Yan Chengmiao's evolutionary ability was the return of genes. When using evolutionary ability, he could transform into extremely strong animal horns, and his lower limbs were also more sensitive due to animalization.
After his evolutionary ability has greatly deepened, his three-year-old daughter had an accident when the babysitter screamed in exclamation.
That day, the little girl was taking a nap in the lord’s camp in the middle of the city as usual. The nap time was over. When the nanny wanted to wake the lord’s daughter, she was shocked when she lifted the quilt and quit her comfortable and safe job that day.
Although Yan Chengmiao pleaded nicely before leaving and paid a huge amount of condensate, a few days later, the news that the lord's daughter was a monster spread faintly throughout Rongcheng.
The nanny told others that when she lifted the quilt, there was a little human the bed. It was clearly a little beast with tender horns and brown-black curly hairs, curled up in the quilt and sleeping soundly.
Had it not been for the lord's daughter's jade pendant on the little beast's neck, and a small nightdress on her body, she would have never expected that cute little girl would become like this.
For a while, everyone in Rongcheng was saying that the lord's daughter was not a human being, but a new way for mutant beasts to invade humans.
But the three adults in the Yan family don't think so. The little girl's mutation actually inherited her father's evolutionary ability. If Yan Chengmiao can completely return to her ancestors, the shape is estimated to be similar to the adult form of her daughter's return to ancestors.
According to the statement three years after the end of the world, the situation of the little girl in the Yan family is a very rare form, and it is likely that she will be arrested by the research institute for research in city b.
In the mouths of these researchers, this is an ultimate form of reversion to evolution, also known as complete reversion.
Genes are completely changed to a certain extent, and they have different forms.
Because the little girl is too young, the body and the genes in the body have not been fully developed, which often leads to changes in her form and cannot control her body freely.
Sometimes when he wakes up, he will turn into a little lamb cub with winking eyes, babbling, bleating, and hitting his father with a crooked horn.
She didn't understand that her current form was abnormal in the eyes of outsiders.
At the same time, just after the third heavy fog, when Yan Chengmiao was out hunting mutant creatures, he discovered that there was an extremely tricky mutant creature in the moat outside of Rongcheng.
It was a mutant electric eel with a length of nearly 20 meters, with an ability level of level five, the same as Yan Chengmiao, but the tricky thing was that it was an intelligent creature with human intelligence, a very rare species. Although it was a fifth-level mutant beast, it was as tricky as a sixth-level mutant beast.
The water of the moat outside Rongcheng is not shallow. After the end of the world, there will be no human industrial sewage. The water after the water cycle is automatically filtered and purified is much cleaner than before.
There was a muffled noise outside the city of Rong, which had always been peaceful that day, and the evolutionary man who went out to patrol was scorched with his half body blackened. When he was rescued, there was still a stubborn purple stream in his flesh.
The courageous man poked his head out of the city gate and saw a huge head emerge from the water, with complicated patterns and faint electric currents attached to his forehead. A pair of huge and oblate fish eyes looked at Rong. The direction of the city.
This huge intelligent creature walked along the moat from the remote river to the surroundings of Rongcheng. The people in the nearby base were panicked, for fear that this terrible creature would stir up the wind of Rongcheng in one fell swoop.
It was at this time that Yan Chengmiao rescued Shen Zhiyu, an evolved man who was seriously injured by this mutant electric eel.
Shen Zhiyu's evolution level is the same as the lord of Rongcheng, and is also a fifth-level evolutionary person.
According to what he said, the base he once was in has been silently destroyed by a small wave of beasts. Because of his strong evolutionary ability, he escaped, and he was already wounded.
If not for his luck, he would have died in the mouth of this mutant electric eel this time.
Shen Zhiyu's words are sincere and full of gratitude. Coupled with his strong evolutionary strength, he knows how to figure out people's hearts to gain the trust of others. One elder brother and sister-in-law treat the Yan family as their relatives.
Soon, Yan Chengmiao regarded him as his most trusted brother and right-hand man. He did not expect that because of his kindness, he finally staged a realistic version of "The Farmer and the Snake". Both himself and his wife died. This good brother with a human face and a beast heart.
Until a year ago, Yan Chengmiao discovered that some not-so-good forces had gradually emerged in Rongcheng. They seemed to have taken root in Rongcheng a long time ago, and people with management have been covering up and hiding their existence. The peace of the base that Yan Chengmiao thought was actually corrupted by these people.
Even if he discovered the anomaly in the base, he couldn't do anything for a while if he wanted to mobilize these forces that were already entrenched in scale.
In the course of slow investigation and exploration, Shen Zhiyu also gradually revealed his ambition and true face. He has been instigating Yan Chengmiao and his wife to turn their backs to their own camp.
This result makes the Yan family and his wife unacceptable. They don't believe that Shen Zhiyu, who has been calling themselves brothers, and even going out and out of the same table with his family every day, is such a wolf and ambition. They can't deal with Shen Zhiyu.
Just when the couple hesitated, Shen Zhiyu noticed a change in their attitudes, and he decided to take action.
Taking advantage of the Yan family's father leaving the city, he quickly led people to implement a rebellion campaign, beheading both Yan family and his wife. In the end, there was only one evolutionary man who could control the bones. He used his evolution ability to adjust the size of his bones, and shrank to the size of a child with the pain of his life, and was pierced to death by Shen Zhiyu's sword.
The real daughter of the Yan family was sent to Yan Yongguo by Yan Chengmiao's confidant.
When Mr. Yan hurried back, Rongcheng had completely changed. He burst into tears when he looked at his granddaughter who had no parents but still asked himself ‘Mother and Dad’.
Although he was angry in his heart, he wished he would carry a knife to cut Shen Zhiyu thousands of times, but at this time, Shen Zhiyu had taken the stone of the Yan family and successfully upgraded to the sixth level of evolution, surrounded by a group of tiger and wolf people. .
Most of these people were Yan Chengmiao's defeated generals, or they were dissatisfied with Rongcheng's laws and regulations that now classify evolutionary people as ordinary people. They believed that they should be evolved higher beings, and they hit it off with Shen Zhiyu.
And beside him, there is a little granddaughter who is less than five years old. If he and Shen Zhiyu are desperate, what will the granddaughter do in the future?
Old man Yan thought for a long time and was helpless, and could only endure the hatred and live at the feet of the enemy.
It’s not that he never thought of leaving Rongcheng, but he knew in his heart that if he was in Rongcheng, Shen Zhiyu, who had already become famous in full view, would not blatantly move his grandchildren, but if he leaves Rongcheng once In the city, there will be a large number of people chasing after them to kill them.
But Yan Yongguo never expected that the culprits like this would still not let them go, and insisted on killing them.
Soon after Shen Zhiyu ascended to the position of lord, the mutant electric eel that had been eyeing outside the moat also evolved into a sixth-level mutant. In addition to its human-like intelligence, its strength evaluation was close to seventh.
Although this mutant electric eel did not take any actual actions, such as attacking Rongcheng, it has human intelligence and seems to be very curious about the human species. It often triggers some small floods or travels nearby. People die under electric current.
Although Shen Zhiyu has great ambitions, it does not mean that he has the courage to fight.
When Yan Chengmiao was there, the relationship between Rongcheng and the mutant electric eels in the river was very tense. In order to protect the people of the base, he personally led the team to resist and encircle the mutant beasts in the river many times, but they all ended in failure, and evolutionary people often lost their lives. In the mouth of this electric eel.
After Shen Zhiyu sat on the throne of the lord, he wanted more to enjoy the supremacy. He didn't want to lead the team to strangle the monsters in the river, because he knew that once he went, he would have a high chance of being injured or even killed in the mouth of the electric eel.
How could these inferior people be worth his life to fight, it is a joke.
So Shen Zhiyu took the initiative to negotiate, and finally decided to sacrifice a young and lively life to the mutant electric eel every three months, which is the so-called sacrifice.
In exchange for this, the mutant electric eel should not attack Rongcheng again.
Within a year since then, three consecutive children have been selected to fill the mouth of the mutant electric eel.
Even though the closure of the city every three months is a sacrifice to the head of the river, the people in the city know in their hearts that this is to send these poor children to death.
Many people left Rongcheng with their family members in order to avoid this kind of cruel and bearish feeding of beasts on their children, and some watched their daughters at almost the same age and allowed them to be personally casual to avoid the fate of death.
When filling the river next week, Shen Zhiyu hit his mind on the little girl from the Yan family.
When Yin Yiliu heard this, she was already disgusted by the shamelessness of Shen Zhiyu. This person is simply a villain who will retaliate with ungrateful gratitude. He is even more disgusting than the scum. Just after hearing what happened to the Yan family, her fists Then tight and tight.
At this time, she finally knew why the old man was so vigilant and a little nervous when she and Jin Yang arrived at Yan Yongguo's shop.
Because in order to put pressure on Yan Yongguo, Shen Zhiyu even distorted the facts, saying that the little girl who had returned to her ancestors was a monster, not a human being at all, so there is nothing wrong with allowing such a monster to exchange for the peace of Rongcheng.
And most of the people in Rongcheng who only consider their own life are also the same. Since your Yan family is the former lord, why can't you contribute to the base? Why can't you sacrifice yourself to save everyone.
The heavy oppression and disgusting threat made Yan Yongguo miserable. After Yan Yongguo was threatened, no one dared to buy their armor, and no one around dared to help them, for fear that they would be targeted by those sent by the lord.
This is not over yet. Some people even deliberately ordered good armor and painted a big pie, promising to pay a generous reward. Yan Yongguo gritted his teeth and used the last savings to buy good materials, and owed some condensate to make it. He lost the perfect armor, but was ran away by the man.
There is no good-hearted person to customize the armor, it is simply that Shen Zhiyu deliberately sent someone to make trouble, causing him to fall into the fight.
Yan Yongguo didn't expect that he would be an upright person and do things all his life, and make so much contribution to China and the friends around him, but he got this treatment when he was old.
His son and daughter-in-law were killed by an adulterer, and his granddaughter was forced to fill the river, but he couldn't do anything by himself. He couldn't even give his granddaughter a full meal.
Yin Yiliu didn't know. After she and Jin Yang left, Yan Yongguo couldn't help but his eyes were red when he watched the crying granddaughter. He silently bent down his waist and picked up the bread on the ground. Take it in your hand.
He was afraid that this thing was poisonous, so he broke it and took a look inside. First he tore a small piece and put it in his mouth. A sweet smell filled his dry lips and teeth. After waiting for a long time, there was no discomfort before he squatted down on the choking baby. The girl approached.
"Eat." Yan Yongguo wiped off the dirty water stains on the little girl's face, holding her palms tightly, loose and tight.
Suddenly he stood up and walked to the wall, where the armor he had made not long ago and was run around by others was hung. It was also the product of his bankruptcy. It was made of good grade 5 mutant animal skins and bones. Armor.
Yan Yongguo has made up his mind that if the dog thief really wants to kill his granddaughter in the end, then he will fight his old life and take him to hell!
Yin Yiliu didn't know what it was like, looking at the same sorrowful middle-aged man, she was speechless for a while, and then said with a little disgust and incomprehension: "Since the current city lord is such a scumbag, why don't you unite? Overthrow him? If Rongcheng is under such leadership, it will only be destroyed sooner or later."
Now that mutant electric eel's appetite is not too big, a fresh life in three months, and forcibly abducted morally in the name of saving everyone by one person.
So if one year later and two years later, if this mutant electric eel asks to eat one person a month, or half a month, should it be given to it continuously?
The middle-aged man shook his head and smiled bitterly: "How can it be so simple? Shen Zhiyu is currently the person with the highest evolutionary ability in Rongcheng. We don't dare to resist even if we are dissatisfied. It is useless to resist. And once he dies, there will be nowhere in the moat. Nobody resists the mutant beasts. Don’t look at the people in the base saying that the current lord is not good, but Shen Zhiyu still has a large number of supporters and supporters. Those people only think about their own interests and have long forgotten. How kind City Master Yan and his wife have treated them before!"
Although feeding animals sounds cruel, it is unfair to the innocent children who were sent out to fill the river, but many people who have benefited are lucky.
What they said on their lips, as long as one sacrificed one person, the entire base could be saved.
Obviously knowing this is an extremely cruel thing, but if the knife is not cut on their body, their applause and default are also accomplices.
In the wasteland era without legal constraints, although there are people like Yan's who still stick to the kindness in their hearts and bring a glimmer of light to this gloomy apocalypse, there are also many villains like Shen Zhiyu who are outside the law. The land is chaotic freely, taking this chaotic world as his refuge.
Yin Yiliu knew in her heart that selfish and ambitious people like Shen Zhiyu could live long and lively in this chaotic era, but she felt a little sad.
Is it wrong for the Yan family to be a good, upright person? Is it true that good people are not rewarded?
When Jin Yang on the side saw her clenched brows, he knew that she had fallen into something that made herself entangled and hurt. Although many times he could not empathize because of these tragic stories of outsiders, he would because of Yin Yi. Liu frowned and felt anxious.
He awkwardly wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he opened his mouth and closed silently, because he didn't know what to say.
When the middle-aged man left, he was grateful for his gratitude. At the same time, he reminded them to be careful of Shen Zhihu. The man was like a poisonous snake with a very vicious mind.
He has been sending people to stare at Yan Yongguo's shop. One is that he is afraid that his granddaughter will run away with his granddaughter, and the other is to frighten the people around him and make them afraid to help the young and old.
Yin Yiliu sneered when she heard the words, she wanted to know this horrible thing, and wanted to see how dark his heart was, and could do such a thing to her benefactor's family.
Lord's Mansion in Central District
A middle-aged man in soft armor was lying halfway on a comfortable tiger-skin sofa. Next to him was a thin and thin girl, wearing very revealing, unfitting clothes that fell empty on his body, exposing large areas of thin limbs.
She had a beautiful face, but she was only fourteen or five years old. At this time, she resisted the trembling of tears and fed clean fresh fruit to the man lying on the sofa.
The surrounding facilities have changed from the brief and generous when Yan Chengmiao was there, and soft and fluffy sheepskin blankets are spread everywhere, making them extremely luxurious.
This is Shen Zhiyu, who has tried so hard to kill his benefactor and the seat of Lord Rongcheng, and he is also a venomous person in the eyes of everyone.
After he sat in the seat of the lord, he was extremely luxurious, plundering resources and beautiful girls as his own, and he was proud of his rights and comfortable life.
On such days, the Yan family would never give it to him. In fact, he didn't want to kill the Yan family. It's blame the Yan family's old pedantry for being too upright, not knowing how to work, and seriously rejecting his several proposals.
Ever since Shen Zhiyu gained the ability to evolve, he has always felt that this is what God chose him and gave him superpowers. He is noble than ordinary people like ants and should be superior to these people.
The Yan family's theory that everyone is equal and human beings coexist is fart in his eyes, too hypocritical.
Therefore, in order to completely eliminate the hidden dangers, the Yan family cannot stay either old or young.
He had heard that the Central Base predicted that these complete return to ancestors would be the final form of the return to ancestors. Once this young girl from the Yan family grows up, she will definitely be a very powerful evolutionary.
He doesn't kill now, is he waiting for her to avenge his parents one day?
At this time, Shen Zhiyu looked at him with a broken nose and his crooked cousin with a miserable look beside him. His face was bruised and bruised, his nose was wrapped in gauze, and his voice sounded violently.
"Cousin, that person is simply too arrogant. I said you are the lord, but he still doesn't listen. Isn't this crushing your face on the ground?! You must avenge me!"
Shen Zhiyu is a little impatient. He knows that his straw-bag cousin, he likes to brag around and make trouble when he is okay, and only come to him to wipe his when something goes wrong.
Although he knew that his trash cousin must have caused the incident first, but this was his own person after all. The man who knew it was his cousin was so arrogant that he was putting his face on the ground.
What's more, he also knew another thing.
At this time there was a man standing beside the sofa, with his head down respectfully standing by.
Shen Zhiyu waved at him and asked, "You said you saw these two people in that old guy's store?"
This person who has been on standby is a little brother under his hand, and he is also the person he sent to monitor near Yan Yongguo, who will come back and tell himself if there is any trouble.
Today, the little brother told himself that a young man and a woman went to the old man's shop that had been strictly forbidden to help, and they happened to be the ones who beat his cousin. This was simply against him.
Shen Zhiyu squinted his eyes. Anyone familiar with him knows that this is the ‘venomous snake’ thinking about how to give the enemy a fatal blow.
"Describe the appearance of those two to me."
The younger brother did not remember for too long, because the appearance and temperament of Yin Yiliu and Jin Yang were too conspicuous, and they could be seen in the crowd at a glance, which left a deep impression on him.
"The female evolutionary person is outstanding and wears a sword. The male has tall golden eyes and a mask on his face. He can't see his face. It seems that he should be a strong evolutionary ability. At least I can't see his ability level."
Shen Zhihu frowned slightly, "Are there such two people in the nearby base?"
The younger brother shook his head and said: "It looks very face-to-face, and it seems that they don’t know the grudge between you and the Yan family, and the matter with the young master is also due to an accident. Rongcheng."
Shen Zhiyu snorted. He stretched out his hand and rubbed the shivering girl beside him, his voice was a little cold.
"Regardless of whether they did it intentionally or unintentionally, since they hit me and hit me in the face, then this thing can't be forgotten."
He glanced at his cousin who was still bruised beside him with a slight disgust, and waved him out.
"Don't worry about this, leave it to me."
