{MTL} ✅[Space] Rebirth in the end of the world

ch 22 : The Second Evolution

It is not so easy to silently find out more than 3,000 people in the safe zone.

Yuan Chao's progress was slow, and it was rare for others to spend a few days of leisure. They ate, drank and had fun on the spot, no one intervened, and even Zhu Zifeng and Yuan Chao didn't go to the training.

But Zhuo Yuan's perception told him that there were always several people staring at them in the dark, observing their every move.

After telling the others about the peeps, everyone discussed what to do - for example, Zhuo Yuan unscrupulously took out and put things in the space; for example, Zhuo Yuan, Qi Shaoyang, and Guo Jun practiced their abilities; Others practice marksmanship accuracy with blank bullets made by Qi Shaoyang.

Not showing off, not being secretive, even other survivors who also lived to the south had seen them behave - and then all were scared away from them.

I heard Yuan Chao say that because the safety zone has been very busy recently after contacting City F and City Y, he probably didn't have time to chat with them, and only sent people to monitor and observe closely.

Xu Tianxing and several people also made a bet on how long it would take them to send someone. Everyone participated, only Zhuo Yuan abstained.

Because he knows that the second day when people can evolve supernatural abilities has quietly come.

On July 23, 2020, it should have been a very ordinary day, but an event happened that made this day remain in human history forever.

Early in the morning, Zhuo Yuan was awakened by the sound of sighing and sighing.

Looking at the watch, it was only after 8 o'clock. For a group of people who could finally rest assured, the time was still early.

Zhuo Yuan retracted his whole body into the air-conditioning quilt, squinted his eyes and planned to go back to sleep again, but he didn't realize that there was a rustling sound from above his head. bother.

It was so noisy that Zhuo Yuan suddenly lifted the quilt and said impatiently, "Who is arguing?"

Two pairs of bright eyes looked at him for a moment, one pair was lustrous and innocent, the other pair was deep and determined, and when he looked at Zhuo Yuan at the same time, he almost couldn't breathe.

"Squeak!" The monkey called out like a spoiled brat. Seeing Zhuo Yuan's anger on the surface, he was in a daze. He looked at the half-eaten banana in his paw in embarrassment, licked his lips reluctantly, and put the The remaining half of the banana was held in front of Zhuo Yuan for him to eat.

After returning to his senses, Zhuo Yuan was amused by the reluctant and flattering expression of the monkey, and pushed the banana back: "You eat it yourself, I don't want you to eat it." The

monkey blinked, because no one was cutting it . , The hair on its whole body is already very long, and the long hair on its head droops down to the body, so that the whole body is covered with golden yellow fluffy monkey hair, which makes the facial features more obvious.

At this time, it swallowed the half of the banana, wagging its tail and quickly ran to Zhuo Yuan's backpack to rummage, then grabbed five or six bananas and ran back to Zhuo Yuan, stacking the bananas in front of him.

Zhuo Yuan was successfully pleased by it, he picked up the monkey and touched it again and again, such a cute and caring cute thing belongs to him!

Qi Shaoyang, who was hanging by the side, was amused by the interaction between the big and the small, and there was a slight smile on his face that had never been expressionless, which made Zhuo Yuan, who had always been watching him, almost stunned.

Qi Shaoyang is a very introverted person. He often treats people with a cool face, but occasionally a little expression makes his whole person bright and vivid.

"It's beautiful?" Qi Shaoyang asked calmly, even with warmth in his voice.

Zhuo Yuan instantly felt that he was being molested, and he didn't need to touch to know that his ears must be red.

Uncomfortably sideways, Zhuo Yuan stared desperately at Monkey Lord's nose, trying to divert his attention.

Unexpectedly, after a long while, he whispered softly: "It's really beautiful."

In the silent tent, Qi Shaoyang still heard the muttered words from his throat clearly.

Seeing the blushing spread from Zhuo Yuan's ears to the entire neck, Qi Shaoyang felt an indescribable relief spread all over his body, and even his pores exuded inexplicable joy. This kind of change surprised him, but he was vaguely aware of it—it seemed like it should be like this, even... not enough, far from enough.

Qi Shaoyang couldn't explain this feeling, but after realizing it carefully, he decided to let everything take its course.

After Zhuo Yuan said that sentence unconsciously, he was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack to get in! He found that Qi Shaoyang's scorching eyes had been staring at him, making him feel that his breathing was not smooth.

He almost fled out of the cramped space of the tent, and the turbid and sour air outside successfully woke him up.

Monkey Lord squeaked and climbed onto his shoulders, hugged his neck with his two front paws and hung on him skillfully.

In their open space, Xu Tianxing and Zhu Zikang were watching Guo Jun training his abilities. Guo Jun, who had just been successfully upgraded to a second-level ability user yesterday, has been able to change all metal substances into what he wants at will. The young boy's imagination is very good. Watch him transform the iron folding round stool into a long stretchable table with four thin legs, and then merge the other two lumps of metal that cannot be seen from the original shape, turning it into a single table with guardrails around. person bed.

Zhuo Yuan sighed in admiration secretly, it is indeed a formidable future generation.

Yuan Chao and Zhu Zifeng were sitting in the other direction. Zhu Zifeng was playing with two pots of ornamental cacti that he didn't know where they came from. Yuan Chao watched intently as he loosened the soil for the cactus, and occasionally made two comments.

Remembering the long sigh that woke him up earlier, Zhuo Yuan kicked Yuan Chao's ass and asked, "Why did you keep sighing just now?"

Yuan Chao quickly apologized when he saw him: "Brother, did I wake you up? I'm sorry. Hey, I received feedback early in the morning that there are really no other power users in our safe zone."

Zhuo Yuan was not surprised by this result, after all, the first batch of abnormal There are only more than 300 talented people in the entire country of China, where is it so easy for them to come across? Thought it was Chinese cabbage on the street?

"It doesn't matter if you don't. Ability users can be met but not sought after. By the way, haven't the people in the safe area come to ask us?"

"Not until now." Yuan Chao shrugged.

Zhuo Yuan stepped aside to eat something casually. Chewing on it for almost a month, it still looks like freshly baked beef jerky. Zhuo Yuan is a little depressed. It's really been a long time since he has eaten fragrant rice...

Fortunately, this hard time is coming to an end.

Looking down at the watch on his wrist, Zhuo Yuan thought about it and decided not to do anything, anyway, there will be people in the safe zone who will be troubled by that time.

The time swayed to 13:27, and without warning, several people who were doing their own work suddenly closed their eyes and fell to the ground at the same moment.

Guo Jun was taken aback, and he quickly ran behind Zhuo Yuan and Qi Shaoyang, with uncontrollable fear in his eyes.

He still clearly remembered that the same scene happened a month ago, after that, the only grandma who loved him became that kind of man-eating monster!

Qi Shaoyang took two steps forward, protecting Zhuo Yuan and the others behind him, and looked at his brothers with worry - the two brothers Zhu Zikang, Xu Tianxing and Yuan Chao were lying on the ground.

"It's exactly the same as last time." Only Cen Le threw himself on the four with light in his eyes, pinch and fear of hitting them, but the other party didn't respond at all.

After probing for a long time, Cen Le finally closed his hands with regret. Unfortunately, he is not an expert in medicine, otherwise, he must study these people well enough.

In the south corridor where they lived, in addition to Xu Tianxing, several other men and women also fell asleep. It's lunch break now, so after the mutation, everyone's faces turned ashen.

"Yes... it's a zombie... they will also become zombies!" Once someone started screaming in horror, as if a drop of boiling water fell into the oil pan, in an instant, the whole safe area screamed and shouted one after another, and it could not stop.

The lawn has turned into a mess at this time, and Zhuo Yuan sensed that a large number of patrol personnel rushed over, trying to maintain order.

"Zombies! They'll turn into zombies! Kill them!"

"Yes! Kill them now! What are you waiting for?!"

"No! My son just fell asleep, he didn't rest well last night, he won't Become a zombie!"

"You are not allowed to touch my mother, go away!" The

cries were mixed with roars, and thousands of people on the lawn were running around in a panic. Soon, a stampede occurred, and more The screams and screams sounded, and chaos was everywhere in the safe area.

Qi Shaoyang looked at the four people lying on the ground in a very complicated mood. The rest of the people who were temporarily living in the corridor had long since disappeared. Even the relatives and companions of the men and women who had fallen asleep did not stay to find a way. The coolness is evident.

"Are they...will they become zombies?" Guo Jun asked in a low voice, his teeth chattering, and there was a deep worry in his words.

Zhuo Yuan grabbed his hand, felt the coldness in his hand, and comforted: "Not necessarily, have you forgotten the three of us?"

Guo Jun's eyes lit up, and he asked anxiously, "Is it a power user? That's right, I also passed out at the time, and then awakened my supernatural powers."

Cen Le's eyes flashed with excitement as if he had been beaten with blood, and nervously digging at the concrete floor with his hands: "Zhuo Yuan said nothing. Wrong, every individual reacts differently to the alphavirus. There are people like me who don't respond at all, and they may become zombies, as well as power users like you. I thought that the accident a month ago was the final result. , it does not seem to be the case now. The alphavirus has been trying to change our genes, and this is the second time today.

Similarly, this time, there will definitely be people who successfully evolve, and some people mutate into zombies. So, in the future, this situation Will it always exist? All unresponsive ordinary people will one day respond? Waiting for human beings, either supernatural powers or zombies? In the future, will this world only be a world of supernatural powers and zombies?"

I don't know what he thought, Cen Le became more and more excited, and a strange blush appeared on his pale and gloomy face, which made him look very abnormal.

Zhuo Yuan really admired his brains, he was always able to grasp the key points without saying anything. After all, he only lived to the fifth year of the end of the world in the last life, and even he is not sure about the future direction.

Perhaps it is as unknown as Cen Le's guess.

Qi Shaoyang did not express any opinion. He certainly hoped that his brothers could successfully evolve into supernatural beings, but the probability seems to be too low at present, and it seems like an extravagant hope.

Knowing his entanglements and worries, Zhuo Yuan couldn't tell him the result, so he could only hold his hand and comfort him silently.

Qi Shaoyang felt the warmth of his palm, looked at Zhuo Yuan, and then held his hand back, the feeling of being closely connected made the two feel extremely tight.

At this moment, Xu Cheng brought a few policemen with shields and pistols in their hands, wearing explosion-proof suits, and ran over quickly. After seeing Yuan Chao on the ground, his eyebrows were immediately wrinkled, as if he was deeply afraid. Yuan Chao is dead.

"Take them away." Xu Cheng instructed the policemen.

"Where are you going to take? Is it safe?" Qi Shaoyang stood up and asked.

Xu Cheng is very impatient now, and he can't take care of the gentle and polite people who usually pretend to be very good. It is estimated that this incident has made him very bad. "Of course, their safety will be guaranteed."

Zhuo Yuan also stepped forward to block them: "What if it turns into a zombie?"

"It really turns into a zombie..." Xu Cheng glared at Yuan Chao fiercely, I hate it so much, let the Yuan family know that Yuan Chao died in his hands, and still swallow him alive? ! "For everyone's safety, zombies cannot be tolerated! Take them away!"

"We hope to be able to follow. If they turn into zombies, please let us send them on the road."

Xu Cheng glanced at them, thinking that someone was going to fight As the executioner, he must be fulfilled. So he nodded in agreement.

The policemen carried people to the hotel lightly, and Zhuo Yuan, Qi Shaoyang, Guo Jun, and Cen Le packed up some necessities and followed behind.

Along the way, several people saw that many people were being carried to the same place. Those people were being teased without knowing it. After a long time, they may become only obeying the instinct of desire and choosing people to eat. of zombies.

They have no choice, they are not even told, and henceforth they will not remember that they were born human.

Perhaps their ignorance was a blessing instead.

Only those who stay and are awake are truly living in endless pain and panic, struggling to the death, unable to find peace.
