The unusual history of Xujiazhai can be traced back to the era of Xu Fang. That era was the beginning of the Age of Darkness. In the few days since the supernatural virus swept the world.
The isolated residents of Xujiazhai do not understand the situation in the outside world, let alone the so-called collapse of human social order and the coming doomsday. The records of that time were left in the ancestral history of the village master's mansion.
At noon during the day, a deep sea of lead-colored clouds moved quickly from the northeast of the mountain, covering the sky in Xujiazhai. A downpour of dark rain fell from the clouds, covering every corner of the mountain and Xujiazhai. The dark rainwater gathered into winding rivers, drilling into the soil under the terraces and into the soil of the mountains.
From that day on, the residents of the village began to experience physical abnormalities, including fever, colds, weakness, and even paralysis, blindness and deafness. Some people suddenly became able to carry a cauldron and were indestructible as a diamond.
The crops in the terraced fields began to grow wildly, reaching a height of more than 6 meters in three days, and then rapidly declined without leaving any fruits. The animals in the jungle have grown in size, their claws have become sharper, and their fur has become tougher. Most of the trees grew taller rapidly, reaching the height and thickness of 10-year-old trees within three days, while some healthy trees suddenly became dead wood within three days.
Villagers who have family members who are weak or even dead account for the majority of Xujiazhai. They cry out about natural disasters, squat in their family temples to worship their ancestors and pray for blessings, and wait for the disaster to take their lives without hope.
Xu Fang, the sixth-generation leader of the village, worked hard and sent a few villagers in the village who had experienced positive physical changes to explore the mountains to collect samples of different animals, plants, soil, and water sources, hoping to analyze the law of the impact of the dark rain.
Xu Fang is a rare biological genius. He compared all the samples collected, and collected livestock and potted plants in the village that had not been exposed to rain and had no contact with pollution sources for experiments, and divided the individuals contaminated by the dark rain into four categories.
The most common is death. Humans and animals will die of organ failure in just three days. Plants will grow rapidly and then exhaust their vitality and wither. The fruits left behind will all be useless and dead.
The second most common are negative changes. A certain ability of the body of humans and animals will become stronger, but soon their consciousness will be taken away by colds, fevers and other diseases, and they will become living corpses that have lost their memory. Plants will grow rapidly and evolve the characteristics of other plants, such as poison, barbs, and developed rhizomes, but they will not bear fruit.
The penultimate thing is that there is no change. It is a rare lucky person who is not affected by natural disasters.
The rarest one is the last one, positive change! Human physical abilities will suddenly increase, including muscle strength, cortical hardness, running speed, wound recovery speed, or any one or more of vision, hearing, and smell. Animals do the same and evolve much faster than humans. Most plants will become thicker, taller, and evolve the characteristics of other plants.
Xujiazhai has a population of 850, 446 people died, 395 people remained unchanged, and only 9 people showed positive changes. Xu Fang himself is one of the nine.
He summoned the remaining 8 people, and based on the strange and unfounded stories about ghosts and ghosts recorded in the ancestral annals, he gave them all the titles of "witches" and distinguished them by their own special abilities, such as "powerful witches" and "speed witches". "Witch", and then used the abundant resources stored in the village master's mansion to take all the other eight people into the village master's mansion. As the private soldiers of the village master's mansion, they killed all the living corpses that were a threat to ordinary people in a few days.
Xu Fang used mice with short reproductive cycles to conduct experiments, and further discovered that powerful genes of evolved organisms can be inherited. After that, Xu Fang began to implement the genetic order. Remove the inferior failed individuals from the crops and select evolved high-quality individuals for planting; kill the evolved and highly offensive livestock, leaving unchanged livestock; leave 8 witch women to match with yourself and other witches. Give birth to children, and encourage widows in the village who lost their husbands in natural disasters to accept the seeds of wizards and give birth to high-quality offspring.
Suddenly, a large number of negative voices criticized Xu Fang's genetic order. They accused Xu Fang of losing human ethics and wanted him to step down from his position as leader of the village! But Xu Fang had already gathered all the "witches" to stand on his side. In the face of absolute power, the opposing voices could not make a substantial splash.
Mutated animals invaded the inside of the village countless times, and Xu Fang and Ba Wu also fought countless times to protect the village. They also built the poisonous thorn vine fence.
Time and profit are always the two most powerful forces in the world. Faced with the powerful combat power of the witches and the bravery of guarding the village, a large number of women chose to agree with Xu Fang's genetic order. Among them, there were many girls who admired the witches. A woman whose family's future seeks an offspring, and a widow who has surrendered spiritually.
From the standpoint of witches, Xu Fang also treats everyone equally. The survival and prosperity of Xujiazhai is the highest goal. All women who sign up, whether they are beautiful, ugly, young or old, witches must obey orders and sow seeds.
Therefore, starting from the next generation of Xu Fang's generation, a large number of evolved humans were born in the village. They were passed from generation to generation, and the number expanded very quickly. If both parents are witches, the offspring will definitely be witches; if the father is a witch and the mother is an ordinary person, the offspring will have a high probability of being an evolved human being with a physique that exceeds that of ordinary people, but a very small probability of being a witch.
From here, the history of Xujiazhai took another path away from "destruction" - "survival". It is no exaggeration to say that if the sixth generation owner of Xujiazhai was not Xu Fang, then Xujiazhai would be a desolate ruin.
Xu Fang single-handedly controlled the situation after the natural disaster and reversed the fate of Xujiazhai. He is a legend and has become the sixth generation ancestor who is like a god in the hearts of the descendants of the village master's house.
Unfortunately, more than ten years later, Xu Fang, who had reached the age of 40, passed away due to an accident and was buried forever. His tablet is enshrined in the Xu family ancestral hall, named "Shi Wu". The great achievements he made have been integrated into the blood of Xujiazhai and continue to be passed down. However, the stories of that generation are kept secret by the contemporaries and the next generation, and they are unwilling to mention it to the children and grandchildren of future generations.
Nowadays, in Xujiazhai, except for the village master's family, few villagers remember the story.
Xu Haoqing bowed deeply to Xu Fang's tablet with respect in his eyes.
After bowing, Xu Haoqing straightened his back and said slowly: "Ancestor Xu Fang, three outsiders have come to Xujiazhai recently. Among them are two evolved humans and one witch. They have brought a genetically enhanced army. The medicine is said to be able to transform ordinary people into evolved humans. It is very miraculous, and the level of progress of humans who come to the outside world is also unusual."
Xu Haoqing organized his words, and then said: "It's embarrassing to say that Haoqing has been awakened from sleep for several days without any reason, and is in a trance. He may be in a disaster. I hope that the ancestor can entrust Haoqing with his dream and let Haoqing realize the Xu family." How should the future of Zhai continue to be bright?"
After saying that, Xu Haoqing bent down again to worship Xu Fang's tablet, and then walked out of the ancestral hall.
At the same time, deep in the mountains late at night, a heavily armed mercenary team was setting up camp in a dry cave and setting up a bonfire.
