The first city lord of Rongcheng was a young couple. The male evolutionary name was Yan Chengmiao. At the beginning of the apocalypse, he and his wife were both in their thirties. Together with the old father at home, they traveled from a nearby town that had been destroyed by mutant beasts. He fled to Rongcheng and survived here with a child who just turned two years old and was still waiting to be fed.
Since these southern bases are far away from the large bases in the interior, the garrisoned troops are not so formal, and the last batch of troops left behind for more than half a year after the end of the world has gradually scattered, and the entire base has fallen into a struggle for power.
At that time, Rongcheng was a place outside the law. There were many things of burning, killing and looting. The Yan family and Mr. Yan were both powerful evolutionary people, and there were not a few supporters in Rongcheng.
As one of the few evolutionary people with strong abilities in the base, Yan Chengmiao and his father led the people of Rongcheng to successfully resist the beast tide in the next beast tide that almost wiped out the entire base.
Since then, Yan Chengmiao has been firmly seated as the city lord of Rongcheng.
And Rongcheng also ushered in a purge, the cloud over the city base was swept away by a big hand, and the tense base ushered in light.
Various new systems and regulations were established under the correction of Yan Chengmiao and his wife, and the security in the base almost reached the pre-apocalyptic level.
Mr. Yan's name is Yan Yongguo, and he has a serious face. When he was young, he was a warrior who fought with real knives 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 armor and improved weapons made use of materials to the extreme, and the old man is also famous in the surrounding bases.
It is precisely because of his spirit and perseverance honed in the war that he helped rebuild the deserted Rongcheng. Now the city wall outside Rongcheng was designed by the old man.
Just when everything became formal and the family lived in harmony and stability, the thriving Rongcheng Base ushered in a huge variable.
It was the moment when the third heavy fog had just arrived. Yan Chengmiao's evolutionary ability was a genetic reversion. When using the evolutionary ability, he could form extremely strong animal horns, and his lower limbs were also more sensitive due to beastization.
After his evolutionary ability was greatly deepened, his three-year-old daughter had an accident under the exclamation of the hired nanny.
That day, the little girl took a nap as usual in the lord's camp in the city center. When the nap time was over, when the nanny wanted to wake the lord's daughter, she was taken aback by lifting the quilt, and she quit her comfortable and safe job that day.
Although Yan Chengmiao pleaded with kindness before leaving and paid a huge sum of Ningshi, but a few days later, the news that the lord's daughter was a monster still spread faintly throughout Rongcheng.
The nanny told others that as soon as she lifted the quilt, there was no human little girl on the bed. It was clearly a small beast with tender horns and brown-black curly hair all over her body, curled up and sleeping under the quilt.
If it weren't for the lord's daughter's jade pendant hanging around the neck of the little beast, and a small nightdress on her body, she would never have thought that the cute little girl would turn into this.
For a time, people in Rongcheng were 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 of the Yan family don't think so. The mutation of the little girl is actually the inheritance of her father's evolutionary ability. If Yan Chengmiao can completely return to her ancestors, her form is estimated to be similar to the adult form of her daughter's return to her ancestors.
According to the statement three years after the end of the world, the situation of the Yan family's little girl is a very rare form, and it is very likely that she will be arrested by the scientific research institute for research in B city.
In the mouths of these researchers, this is the ultimate form of atavism, also known as complete atavism.
The genes have been completely altered to a certain extent, and have a different form.
Because the little girl is too young, her body and the genes in her body have not yet fully developed, which often leads to changes in her shape and makes her unable to freely control her body.
Sometimes when he wakes up, he will turn into a little lamb with twinkling eyes, screaming "baabaa" and hitting his father with his curved horns.
She didn't understand that her current form was abnormal in the eyes of outsiders.
At the same time, just after the third fog, when Yan Chengmiao went out to hunt mutant creatures, he found that there was an extremely troublesome mutant creature in the moat outside Rongcheng.
It was a mutant electric eel with a length of nearly 20 meters, and its ability level was level 5, which was the same as Yan Chengmiao, but the difficulty was that it was an intelligent creature with human intelligence, an extremely rare species. Although it is a fifth-level mutant beast, its level of difficulty is comparable to that of a sixth-level mutant beast.
The moat outside Rongcheng is not shallow. After the end of the world, there will be no industrial sewage of various human beings. The river water after the automatic filtration and purification of the water cycle is much cleaner than before.
There was a sudden muffled sound outside Rongcheng, which had always been peaceful that day. The half-body of the evolutionary man who went out for inspection was scorched black. When he was rescued, there were faint purple dots stubbornly attached to his flesh.
The courageous person stuck his head out from the city gate from a distance, and saw a huge head rising to the surface, with complex patterns and faint currents attached to his forehead, and a pair of huge and flat fish eyes staring at Rong. direction of the city.
This huge intelligent creature came to the surrounding of Rongcheng from the distant outer river along the moat, and immediately disturbed the people of the nearby base, for fear that this terrifying creature would stir up blood and rain in Rongcheng in one fell swoop.
It was at this time that Yan Chengmiao rescued an evolutionary man, Shen Zhiyu, who was seriously injured by this mutant electric eel.
Shen Zhiyu's evolution level is the same as that of Rongcheng's lord, and he is also a fifth-level evolutionary person.
According to what he said, the base where he was once was silently destroyed by a small beast tide. Because of his strong evolutionary ability, he escaped with injuries on his body.
If it wasn't 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. In addition, his evolutionary strength is strong, and he knows how to figure out people's hearts to gain the trust of others. One eldest brother and sister-in-law treat the Yan family and his wife as their relatives.
Soon, Yan Chengmiao regarded him as his most trusted brother and right-hand man. He never thought that because of his kindness, he finally staged a realistic version of 'The Farmer and the Snake', in which he and his wife died. In the hands of this good brother with a human face and a beast heart.
It was not until a year ago that Yan Chengmiao discovered that some bad forces were gradually emerging in Rongcheng. They seemed to have been rooted in Rongcheng for a long time, and people with management had 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, but if he wanted to move these forces that were already entrenched on a large scale, he would not be able to start for a while.
During the slow investigation and exploration, Shen Zhiyu also gradually revealed his ambition and true face. He has been instigating the subordinates of Yan Chengmiao and his wife, causing them to defect to his own camp.
This result made the Yan family's husband and wife unacceptable. They did not believe that Shen Zhiyu, who had always called themselves brothers and sisters, and even went to the same table with his own family every day, would be such a wolf-like ambitious person. They couldn't deal with Shen Zhiyu.
Just when the couple hesitated, Shen Zhiyu noticed the change in their attitudes, and he decided to act decisively.
When the old man of the Yan family went to sea and left the city, he quickly led people to carry out insurgent activities, beheading both the Yan family husband and wife. In the end, only one evolutionary man who could control the bones was loyal and loyal. He adjusted the size of the bones using his evolutionary ability, and shrunk to the size of a child with the pain, and was pierced to death by Shen Zhiyu's men.
The real daughter of the Yan family was given to Yan Yongguo by Yan Chengmiao's confidant.
When Mr. Yan came back, Rongcheng had completely changed. Looking at his granddaughter who lost his parents but didn't understand anything, he still asked himself 'what about mom and dad', and he burst into tears.
Although he was furious in his heart, he wished to take a knife and slash Shen Zhiyu with thousands of knives, but at this time Shen Zhiyu had already taken the Ningshi of the Yan family and successfully upgraded to a sixth-level evolutionary person, surrounded by a group of tigers and wolves. .
Most of this group of people were Yan Chengmiao's defeated generals back then, or they were dissatisfied with Rongcheng's current regulations that differentiated evolution from ordinary people, and believed that they should have been evolutionary high-level beings, and they hit it off with Shen Zhiyu.
And he has a little granddaughter who is less than five years old beside him. If he and Shen Zhiyu are desperate, what will the granddaughter do in the future.
Mr. Yan thought for a long time and had no choice but to endure hatred and live at the feet of his enemies.
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 was already notorious in the public eye, would not blatantly touch his grandfather and grandson, but if he was out of Rongcheng In the city, there will be a large number of people chasing after their young and old.
But Yan Yongguo never imagined that even this thief would not let them go, and insisted on causing them to die.
Not long after Shen Zhiyu took the position of lord, the mutant electric eel that had been eyeing the moat also evolved into a level-6 mutant beast. With its intelligence similar to that of humans, its strength assessment was close to level-7.
Although this mutant electric eel did not take any practical actions, such as attacking Rongcheng, it has the wisdom of human beings and seems to be very curious about the human species. It often causes some small floods, or there are people traveling nearby. People die under the 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. In the mouth of this electric eel.
After Shen Zhiyu sat on the throne of the lord, he wanted to enjoy the supreme power more. He didn't want to lead the team to strangle the monsters in the river, because he knew that once he went, there was a high chance that he would be injured or even die in the mouth of the electric eel.
How these inferior people could possibly be worth his life to fight is a joke.
So Shen Zhiyu took the initiative to negotiate, and finally decided to sacrifice a young and fresh life to the mutant electric eel every three months, which is the so-called sacrifice.
In exchange for this, the mutant electric eels will not attack Rongcheng again.
In the year since, three children in a row have been selected to fill the mouths of mutant electric eels.
Although the closure of the city every three months is in the name of offering sacrifices to the river god, 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 families in order to escape this tragic death of beasts falling on their own children, and some saw that their daughters were about the same age and casually agreed to be alone to avoid the fate of death.
And next week's reclamation, Shen Zhiyu put his mind on the little girl of the Yan family.
When Yin Yiliu heard this, she was already nauseated by this Shen Zhiyu's brazenness. This man is simply an ungrateful villain who avenged his revenge. He was even more disgusting than those scumbags. Just after hearing what happened to the Yan family, her fist Tight and tight.
At this time, she finally knew why the old man was so vigilant when she and Jin Yang arrived at Yan Yongguo's shop, and seemed a little nervous.
Because in order to put pressure on Yan Yongguo, Shen Zhiyu even distorted the facts, saying that the little girl who was completely atavistic was a monster, not a human at all, and there was nothing wrong with letting such a monster exchange for the tranquility of Rongcheng.
And most of the people in Rongcheng who only think about their own lives also think this way. 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 threats made Yan Yongguo miserable. After Yan Yongguo 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 lords.
This is not the end. Some people even deliberately ordered good armor to draw a big cake and promised to pay a generous reward. Yan Yongguo gritted his teeth and used the last savings to buy good materials, and owed some Ningshi to make it. The perfect armor, but was run away by the man.
There is no good-hearted person to customize the armor, it is simply that Shen Zhiyu deliberately sent people to look for trouble, making him fall into a fight.
Yan Yongguo didn't expect that he would be upright in his life and work, and make so many contributions to Huaguo and friends around him, but he got this treatment as an old man.
His son and daughter-in-law were murdered by an adulterer, and his granddaughter was forced to fill the river, but he couldn't do anything himself, not even a full meal for his granddaughter.
Yin Yiliu didn't know that after she and Jin Yang left, Yan Yongguo finally couldn't help his eyes turning red when he looked at his crying granddaughter. He silently bent his waist, which had been straight all his life, and picked up the bread on the ground. hold in hand.
He was afraid that it was poisonous, so he opened it and took a look inside. He first tore a small piece and put it in his mouth. A sweet smell filled his dry lips and teeth. before the girl.
"Eat it." Yan Yongguo wiped off the dirty water stains on the little girl's face, holding her big palm tightly, loose and tight.
He suddenly stood up and walked to the wall, where hangs the armor he made not long ago and was tricked into running away, which was also the product of ruining his family. 's armor.
Yan Yongguo has made up his mind, if the dog thief really wants to kill his granddaughter in the end, then he will take this old life and take him to hell!
Yin Yiliu didn't know what it was like in her heart. Looking at the middle-aged man who was also full of sighs, she was speechless for a while, and then said with some disgust and puzzlement: "Since the current city owner is such a scum, why don't you join forces? Overthrow him? If Rongcheng is under such leadership, it will only perish sooner or later."
Right now, the mutant electric eel's appetite is not too big, and it has taken a fresh human life in three months.
So what if one year and two years later, if this mutant electric eel asks to eat one person a month, or half a month, is it necessary to give it such a steady stream
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, even if we are dissatisfied, we don't dare to resist, resisting is useless. And once he dies, the inside of the moat will be lost. There is no one to resist the mutant beast. Don't look at what these people in the base say 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 good the city owner Yan and his wife were to them in the past!"
Although animal feeding sounds cruel and unfair to the children who were innocently sent out to fill the river, many people who benefited from it were lucky.
What they said, as long as one sacrificed one person, they could save the entire base.
Knowing that this is an extremely cruel thing, but the knife is not cut on them, their applause and acquiescence are also accomplices.
In the era of wasteland without legal constraints, although there are people like the Yan family who still stick to kind-hearted people and bring a ray of light to this dark end of the world, there are also many villains like Shen Zhiyu, who are outside the law. The land is in chaos, taking this chaotic world as its own sanctuary.
Yin Yiliu knew in her heart that a selfish and ambitious person like Shen Zhiyu could live a long and nourishing life in this chaotic era, but she felt a little sad.
Is it wrong for the Yan family to be honest and good people? Are good people really not rewarded
As soon as Jin Yang on the side saw her tightly knitted brows, he knew that she was caught up in something that made him tangled and sad. Although many times he couldn't empathize with these tragic stories of outsiders, but he would because of Yin Yi Liu frowned and felt anxious.
He clumsily tried to say two words of comfort, but Na Na opened his mouth and closed it silently, because he didn't know what to say.
When the middle-aged man left, he thanked him greatly, and at the same time reminded them again to be careful about Shen Zhihu, who was like a poisonous snake with a very vicious mind.
He has been sending people to stare at Yan Yongguo's shop. First, he was afraid that Mr. Yan would escape with his granddaughter, and second, he scared the people around him and made them not dare to help the old and young.
Yin Yiliu sneered when she heard the words, but she wanted to know this wolf-hearted thing, to see how dark his heart was, and to do such a thing to her benefactor's family.
Inside the Lord's Mansion in the Central District
A middle-aged man in soft armor was lying on a comfortable tiger-skin sofa. Beside him was a skinny little girl, dressed in very revealing clothes, with ill-fitting clothes hanging empty on his body, revealing large thin limbs.
She had a good-looking face, but she was only fourteen or fifteen years old. At this time, she was shivering with tears, and fed the man lying on the sofa washed fresh fruit.
The surrounding facilities have changed from the generous profile when Yan Chengmiao was there, with soft and fluffy sheepskin blankets everywhere, which looks extremely luxurious.
This is Shen Zhiyu, who tried his best to kill his benefactor and rob Rongcheng of the lord's seat, and he is also a person who is as sinister as a poisonous snake in the eyes of everyone.
After he took the seat of the lord, he was extremely luxurious, plundered resources and beautiful girls for himself, and felt proud of the power and comfortable life in his hands.
Such days would never be given to him by the Yan family. In fact, he didn't want to kill the Yan family. He blamed the old pedantic Yan family for being too upright, not knowing how to be flexible, and sternly rejecting his own proposals several times.
Since Shen Zhiyu obtained the ability to evolve, he has always felt that this is because God chose him and gave him superpowers. He is more noble than those ordinary people like ants, and he should be above them.
In his eyes, the Yan family's theory of equality for all and coexistence of human beings is just fart, too hypocritical.
Therefore, in order to completely eliminate the hidden dangers, the old and young of the Yan family could not stay.
He had heard that the Central Base predicted that these complete atavisms would be the final form of atavistic evolutionary people. Once this little girl from the Yan family grew up, she would definitely be a very powerful evolutionary person.
If he doesn't kill now, should he wait for her to avenge her parents one day
At this time, Shen Zhiyu looked at his cousin with a broken nose and a crooked nose with a bitter look beside him. His face was bruised and bruised, he wrapped his nose with gauze, and his voice was muffled.
"Cousin, that person is so arrogant. I said you are the lord, but he still doesn't listen. Isn't that crushing your face to the ground?! You must avenge me!"
Shen Zhiyu was a little impatient. He knew that he was a sloppy cousin who liked to brag and cause trouble everywhere, and only came to him to wipe his ass when something went wrong.
Although he knew that it must have been his wasteful cousin who caused it first, but after all, this was his own person. That person knew that he was his cousin, and he was so arrogant that he was putting his face on the ground and stepping on it.
What's more, he also knew something else.
At this time, there was a man standing beside the sofa, bowing his head respectfully and waiting for orders.
Shen Zhiyu waved at him and asked, "You said you saw these two people in that old guy's store?"
The person who has been on standby is one of his younger brothers, and he is also the person he sent to monitor the vicinity of Yan Yongguo. If there is any trouble, he will come back and tell himself.
But today, the younger brother told himself that a young man and a woman had been in the old man's shop, who had been strictly forbidden to help, and the two happened to be the ones who beat up his cousin. This was simply against himself.
Shen Zhiyu squinted his eyes. Anyone who knew him well knew that this was a 'poisonous snake' thinking about how to deal a fatal blow to the enemy.
"Describe to me the appearance of those two people."
The younger brother didn't recall for too long, because Yin Yiliu and Jin Yang's appearance and temperament were too conspicuous, and they could be seen at a glance in the crowd, which left a deep impression on him.
"The female evolutionary person has an outstanding appearance and wears a sword. The male has tall golden eyes and a mask on his face. He can't see his face clearly. It seems that he has a strong evolutionary ability. At least I can't see his ability level."
Shen Zhihu frowned slightly, "Are there two people like this 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 grievances between you and the Yan family, and the matter with the young master is also due to an accident, it seems that they are not trying to trouble you on purpose, I think they have just arrived recently. Rongcheng."
Shen Zhiyu hummed, he stretched out his hand and rubbed the shivering girl beside him, his voice a little cold.
"Whether they were intentional or unintentional, since they bumped into me and slapped me in the face, then this matter can't be counted."
He glanced at the bruised cousin beside him with disgust, and waved him out.
"Don't worry about it, leave it to me."
