Chapter 2 Starting Evolution

When Tong Xiaorou heard this, she didn't dare to say anything. She turned over a stone with her sister beside her, and then sat down on the side that was not too hot.

The sun was blazing in the sky, there were no clouds in the sky, and the temperature was probably over 50 degrees, which was simply scary.

The ground underfoot was dry and cracked, with almost no weeds, and all the places where grass once existed had been dug up.

There is a giant tree hundreds of meters away, two or three meters in diameter, but most of it is dead.

The bark of the non-dead trees within two to three meters of the ground was gone, and there was a bare area of ​​more than ten meters above them. There were also dead leaves on the crown of the tree further above, and there was nothing edible at all.

Anyway, Jiang Cheng couldn't eat it even if he wanted to. He couldn't imagine how those wilderness people could swallow such old bark.

Based on the memories in his mind, Jiang Cheng learned that the world had been drought-stricken for nearly ten years, and no crops had been harvested.

Of course, that's the wild.

There are camps in this world, and high barriers protect some of the superior people inside.

Jiang Cheng: “!!!”

And based on the memories of his original body, he knew that the dangers in this world were far more than just drought, lack of food and other humans.

Monsters appear in the year of great disaster!

Evolved people, also called awakened ones, have various abilities. Those evolved people themselves will also rely on their strength to dominate and oppress others.

[Collection (Level 0): My hands can collect all things. When I put my hands up, I can extract the materials I want through my thoughts]

[I suddenly came to this world where people eat people. I felt very uneasy and my physical condition was also very bad. I had to solve the predicament as soon as possible. So I decided to start the road of evolution! 】

"You can't eat this." He hurriedly slapped the stone out of the girl's hand.

A piece of wood can be harvested almost every second.

"Don't hit her. If you want to hit her... just hit me." Tong Xiaorou stood up in a hurry and said, although she was also scared, she still firmly protected her sister behind her.

The next moment, as if he was blessed, he thought, and an indescribable force spread out from the depths of his body, extending along the palm of his hand towards the big tree in front of him——

"Experience +1"

"Experience +1"

"Shut up!"

What the hell kind of world is this?

There is chaos everywhere.

"I'm sorry for making you suffer with me. Six years ago, my mother said that she would ensure that you have food to eat." He sighed.

Then the camp was destroyed, and those who survived all ran away, migrating all the way towards the rain-rich areas in my impression.

Jiang Cheng sighed heavily.

"But... Yaya is so hungry..." Yaya, who was hiding behind Tong Xiaorou, said aggrievedly, not daring to look at Jiang Cheng.

[Synthesis (zero order): I can fuse different materials, leaving random characteristics]

Suddenly Jiang Cheng saw Yaya groping on the dry ground, then picked up a pebble and was about to put it in her mouth.

The people inside seem to have high technology and can do soilless cultivation, but soilless cultivation also requires water, so even the people in the camp don't have much food.

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, feeling his body getting weaker, and then looked at the sun that had begun to set, and made up his mind.

His eyes flashed slightly, and then he tried to follow that mysterious feeling, placing his palms on the giant tree that had lost its bark in front of him, and thinking about his life at the same time.

"Experience +1"

Jiang Cheng put away the wood, put his hand on the tree again, and thought: "Collect."

During the migration, the family encountered various troubles and dangers. After the original mother was injured, she fell asleep and never woke up again.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, suddenly his whole body felt like an electric shock, goosebumps arose, his entire cerebral cortex was numb, and his hair stood on end, as if something was awakening——

Various images of his past life flashed through his mind like a slideshow, and finally settled on one of the games.

Jiang Cheng: "???"

Then I saw words and numbers appearing one after another on the panel in my mind:

[Jiang Cheng (Level 0): LV.0 (1.00%)]

Finally sorting out the memory of his predecessor, Jiang Cheng felt helpless.

These subtitles appeared and then slowly disappeared, leaving only personal information on the final panel.

…

In the past three years, the original body took Tong Xiaorou and Yaya on a long journey, probably thousands of miles, to this place called Dafan Basin.

As she was talking, she thought about all the experiences she had experienced while escaping, and then looked at her starving sister who wanted to eat rocks. She felt sad in her heart, and suddenly she covered Yaya's ears, lowered her head with despair, and said, "How about you?"

Eat me, but please give some to Yaya and don’t tell her..."

"It's really troublesome...why did you suddenly travel through time?"

But that's all. My predecessor didn't like Tong Xiaorou, it was all just because of responsibility.

"We have to find a way to solve the current situation! It would be great if I also became an evolver..."

He can't remember what he was doing before traveling (foreshadowing, my God, I'd better mark it, I found that everyone ignores this place, is there a weird rule here that affects cognition?).

【Space backpack:1/10】

This is also the reason why my predecessor insisted on taking the two girls with me. My predecessor was a very filial person.

Among the ten grids of the space backpack, there is already a piece of wood in the first grid.

But the camp where he was originally located was in the driest zone. The camp was invaded by the wilderness people three years ago, and all the food and resources were robbed.

Cannibalism didn't seem to be a strange thing at all here, and it shocked his soul hard.

In a word -

Yaya was startled and hurriedly hid behind Tong Xiaorou, looking at him in horror.

"In short, don't eat randomly, and don't have any thoughts of seeking death. I will definitely find food, believe me!"

He took it out and took a look and found that the wood was as thick as an arm and one meter long. It was of very good quality. It was fine wood and could be used as a stick.

And below, new subtitles appear:

【Life:0.4】

[I found that as long as I continue to collect resources, I can gain upgrade experience, but that only opens the upper limit of the realm and unlocks the gene lock. If you want to gain stronger power, you still need to work hard. 】

Because there are evolvers or mutants who have failed to evolve in this world.

Jiang Cheng explained: "Sorry, I scared you. But you can't eat stones, it will kill you."

Although I have the will to die, I still should be afraid.

Tong Xiaorou looked at the wooden stick in Jiang Cheng's hand in confusion. She didn't know where the wooden stick came from, but she didn't dare to ask, so she just looked at it silently.

There will be monsters at night.

The original person used to live in a small camp, and the family was pretty good. After his father passed away, his mother adopted Tong Xiaorou, who was only 12 years old at the time, and Yaya, who was just born. They were both child brides that the original mother found for the original person.

.

"Small wood +1"

"no……"

[The road to evolution has been opened, but I am still only a quasi-awakened person and cannot directly obtain food for the time being. When my level reaches level ten and my level reaches level one, I will be considered a true awakened person. I shouldn’t be able to obtain food directly at the moment.

No more worrying about food.]

These are personal information.

Tong Xiaorou was afraid that her sister would be beaten, so she hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, she's not sensible... I know you haven't eaten for a long time, it's all our fault..."

This was the area with the richest rainfall on previous maps and was a tropical rainforest.

Therefore, a camp may contain a few hundred people, or may be as large as tens of thousands, and even more people are running around in search of food and water.

With this experience comes a ripple like a pebble dropped into the water.

Jiang Cheng scolded her fiercely and looked at her in shock.

At the same time, a panel slowly appeared in my mind from scratch, with subtitles appearing on it:

Immediately afterwards, a kind of enlightenment came to my mind, like an insight into life.

These subtitles appear and then slowly disappear, just like gradient layers.

But as it turned out, there was also a drought here, as you could tell from the giant dead trees.

[Now, all I need to do is put my palms on the tree and think about my life...]

"Small wood +1"

Almost every additional point of experience increases the experience progress by one percent.

"Small wood +1"

【But, I need an introduction, that is the key to the road of evolution.】

It is absolutely impossible for him to eat people. He comes from a peaceful world and has received a higher education. He would rather starve to death!

Tong Xiaorou's delicate body trembled, and she was too frightened to say anything.

So almost two minutes later, when ninety-nine pieces of wood were collected again, the experience was directly filled.

Tong Xiaorou couldn't help but be a little surprised when she heard that Jiang Chengke had never apologized to them before.

More and more wood appears in the space backpack, and the experience increases accordingly.

Jiang Cheng only felt his body heat up slightly, and then his level went from level zero to level one.

Life has also reached 0.5 from the previous 0.4.

As for physical fitness and strength, I hardly feel any improvement, I just feel less dizzy.

Jiang Cheng's eyes flashed, and then he continued collecting.
