Early the next morning.
Xu Zhi got out of bed and looked out of the yard. In the hundred-acre sand table, there were miniature mountains and rivers, and the land was lush with greenery.
Even if other people came to the yard as guests, they would not be able to see this magical miniature land in the orchard behind. The Zerg nests were good at mind control, so naturally, they could also interfere with people's minds. They would form a "mind energy shield" that interfered with other creatures, plants, and bacteria, preventing them from entering the sand table, creating an absolute separation between the two sides of the land.
After a few days, Xu Zhi did not seem as dispirited as before.
The hair that had fallen off from the chemotherapy was gradually growing back, and his deathly pale skin had also become healthy.
In the mirror, the young man was handsome and tall. His facial features were well-defined, and his muscles had become angular.
"After stopping the chemotherapy for half a month, the side effects are finally gone. My body has also returned to how it was before. My body shape and face are even more perfect … This is the gradual return of the large number of dead Zerg to my body."
In front of the mirror, he silently sensed everything.
After the death of the Zerg herding in the sand table, their life and soul energy could be returned to Xu Zhi. The higher the level of the species, the stronger the soul, and the greater the effect.
The state he was in now was because a few days ago, there was the first mass extinction of the "Dark Warrior" era and the second mass extinction of the "Light Warrior" era.
Although the two mass extinctions were the lowest level of primitive life forms, the number of deaths was too great. It was not until last night that he completely absorbed it.
"The most important thing is that my hair has grown back!
"Now the side effects of the chemotherapy are gone, and my terrible body has improved. But no matter how healthy my body is, I can't kill the cancer cells. In fact, the healthier the body, the stronger the cancer cells …"
He was in a very good mood after all.
He left the sand table in the yard and rode his bicycle to the faraway town to have breakfast.
He took a rare stroll around the village, planning to show off his newly grown thick black hair and see who would dare to look at his head with a sad expression.
There were fields on both sides of the dirt road, and there were occasional cow dung on the road. It was full of nostalgia for the countryside.
Xu Zhi was suddenly stopped by a tanned, short, and plump woman with a grocery basket. "Hey, isn't this Little Paper? Chen Xi said you're back, and I didn't believe it at first … Well, I heard you're sick, is it cancer?
"Yes." Xu Zhi nodded.
"Sigh, that won't do." Auntie immediately said agitatedly, "You have a terminal illness, and our Xu family has no descendants. What should we do? My daughter is actually not bad. Look at this … "
????
After knowing that I had a terminal illness, he directly introduced his daughter to me.
Hehe.
Could it be that he knew that he had earned some money in the city and that his parents had left him a large orchard, so he wanted to inherit his inheritance after he died?
My hair has grown out, but that doesn't mean I'm weaker.
Xu Zhi was just about to refuse.
"Hey, ignore her!"
The round-faced lass, Chen Xi, rushed out with a few aunts in tow. They were in a rush.
"I heard from my mother that you were entangled with Xu Zhi, so I knew that you wanted to marry a girl! Your girl is as ugly as hell, has a bad temper, and hits her husband. Her husband has already been chased away by her, and you still want Xu Zhi to take over? "
"It's you again, you stinky girl. See if I don't teach you a lesson …" The short and plump auntie called 'Pig Lady' was very angry, but when she saw the other aunts around her who were even more aggressive, she jumped in fright and turned to leave.
Xu Zhi was stunned for a moment.
"Xu Zhi, let me tell you, in our village, Pig Lady is not a good person. There are always some unruly and shrewish shrews and scoundrels in every village … Wow!"
Chen Xi casually glanced at Xu Zhi and was instantly stunned. "How did you become like this!? You weren't like this two days ago. You were bald, extremely bald … "
Aunt Li was Chen Xi's mother. She glared at Chen Xi and said with a smile, "Girl! Didn't Xiao Zhi always look like this? Now that she's back, she's changed a little. She's a lot more handsome! Let's go! Come to your Aunt Li's house and have a seat. "
"Yes, come to your Aunt Li's house!"
At the side, a few enthusiastic aunts with baskets in their hands shouted cheerfully.
"No, Mom! He wasn't like this two days ago. He was bald, balding, and had a crooked back! "Chen Xi was left behind in the crowd, and her mouth was agape.
"Daughter, who would curse you, Xu Zhi, like that! You even called him bald! "Aunt Li was very angry.
Xu Zhi raised his eyebrows, and he instantly felt carefree.
He felt that he had regained his dignity. Hair was a man's pride, wasn't it?
He did not reject the enthusiasm of the neighbors. He went to the courtyard house next door and sat down for a while. The enthusiastic aunties were very concerned about the family. They knew that Xu Zhi had a terminal illness and were very distressed, but they were also very naggy.
Most of the neighbors in the village were simple and honest.
After he left for work, he rarely came back. Now that he suddenly recalled a lot of memories from his childhood, he felt a little warm and comfortable. He chatted with these aunts who watched him grow up, and he felt at ease and comfortable.
Before he left, the aunts stuffed some of the vegetables and food they grew at home into his hands, and even said, "You should rest here and recuperate. Don't work too hard, and you might recover soon!"
"Yes," Xu Zhi replied with a warm smile.
"It's definitely a body double! He secretly altered the photo, and it's fine that his hair grew out, but now his looks and temperament have changed a lot … There's definitely something wrong! "Chen Xi was still mumbling as she lay on the wooden chair.
Xu Zhi pretended not to hear, and appeared very calm and steady.
He was infected by the enthusiasm of the neighbors, and his heart warmed. It was not bad.
After chatting with the neighbors for a while and getting to know each other, he said that he would recuperate in the old house in the village and that they would meet often in the future. Then, he rode his bicycle back to the courtyard.
…
As soon as he entered the house, he hurriedly went straight to the sand table to observe the group of apes and see how their civilization was evolving.
Now, the evolution speed was much slower. One time was one year, and after adjusting it to one hundred times, one day was still one hundred years.
"More than half a day has passed, and now it's equivalent to more than eighty years in their sand table world."
Xu Zhi thought for a while. He picked up the binoculars, stood on the chair at the door, and observed the apes in the sand table in the distance.
He didn't want to go in casually, because every time he went in, he would cause great damage to the ecosystem.
After all, for those animals that were the size of ants, the sand table of a hundred acres was already equivalent to the size of a small province on Earth.
"This is …" Xu Zhi found that in just one night, these apes had already developed a simple tribal structure, lived in groups, and even had a simple language and culture, and wore animal skins.
According to the theory of evolution, such a species was resisting the reproduction of the population, and would be naturally eliminated …
However, wisdom was not constant. Wisdom would give birth to many points that did not conform to the theory of evolution, just like humans.
"With shame, it means that they have wisdom. I've succeeded."
He felt gratified and smiled. "Back then, those apes that only knew how to call me 'Balding' and 'Balding' have finally developed their own simple civilization, and are no longer so annoying. It's not bad."
However, they were on the verge of extinction.
They were too weak.
Although Xu Zhi had chosen the best primitive template for them back then, they were used as experimental subjects. In the two days that they were cultivated into apes, the sand table continent was still evolving at a rate of ten thousand times. Two days had passed, and twenty thousand years had passed. When they returned … they were already out of touch with the great era.
Their ancient genes from twenty thousand years ago were simply not enough to fight against the attacks of giant beasts and tyrannosauruses twenty thousand years later.
"If this goes on, extinction will definitely not work."
When Xu Zhi thought of this, his expression changed slightly. He returned to the house, logged on his laptop, turned on the wireless network, and ordered some things on Taobao. "It seems that I have to find a way to create some seeds of civilization for them!"
After placing the order, he turned off the computer.
The next morning, when Xu Zhi came back from his morning jog, he was slightly sweating.
He looked at the table. The two packages that he had bought online had arrived this morning. After all, it would only take a little more than a day for them to be sent by air.
In one package, there was a miniature potted plant: Welcome Pine.
In the other package, there was a custom-made alloy sword that was only slightly thicker than the tip of a needle. It was exquisite and luxurious.
At this moment, the insect apes had survived for a day and a half, which was 150 years. Now, their numbers were decreasing, and they were struggling at death's door. They were almost on the verge of extinction.
"They have survived for 150 years and are not extinct. They have some potential. It's time to go and take a look."
Xu Zhi stood up and walked to the yard. "Restore them to the normal flow rate of cell division, one to one."
…
In the southern part of Mesopotamia was a huge valley where humans lived. There were large forests in the valley, where fruits and edible plants grew.
In front of them was the Tigris River. There were countless fat fish in the river, and the rich products allowed the insect apes that lived here to struggle at death's door. But now, it was the last moment.
Broken walls, and corpses were everywhere.
The thatched huts had been destroyed, and the ground was covered with the corpses of the insect apes.
"Run! We can't hide here anymore. Allah is here! "
Several black-haired chimpanzees, whose joints were covered in armor and looked like they could walk on their own, roared and asked the women and children behind them to retreat in their immature language, while they waved the horned clubs of unknown beasts and charged at the few dark, dry, and wretched beasts in front of them that looked like velociraptors.
"We have to survive!"
The women and children ran all the way, their faces filled with despair. They seemed to have gotten used to running. A few male insect apes rushed up to resist, but soon, a large amount of blood flowed, and they were chewed up and turned into food.
Fear was spreading.
Seeing this, Xu Zhi sighed. He could not bear to see this happen. The casualties of the primitive tribes were too heavy.
The insect nest AI said, "The insect race is a species with extremely strong reproductive ability. They are all pointless mass production of evolved spores. They have short lives like plankton, unless they can transcend."
"Transcend? How can they transcend? "Xu Zhi asked.
The insect nest AI explained, "It is to break away from being cannon fodder and enter the category of the insect race hero. Awakening, breaking the passive evolution, they can control their own genetic lock and adjust their own genetic evolution … Every planet throws spores and produces billions of species. There will always be a few who can transcend and become leaders, unlock the genetic lock, and become the insect race hero, entering the upper echelons."
Xu Zhi, on the other hand, understood.
After all, a large race couldn't only be controlled by the mother nest. There were all kinds of powerful upper echelons — the insect race hero.
The insect race was a passive evolution, survival of the fittest. For example, during the Dark Warrior Era, the blue moon grass that absorbed moonlight had to die for hundreds of millions of plants to evolve into a plant that could photosynthesize moonlight.
This was a passive evolution. The sacrifice was too great, and it was built on a large number of deaths.
As for the insect race hero, they were all powerful individual life forms. They could actually control their own genetic chain and achieve active evolution, adjusting their own genetic sequence. The difference was like heaven and earth.
"Do you think the insect apes I created will give birth to a hero that breaks the genetic lock?" Xu Zhi laughed. "A race hero?"
"As long as the potential is enough, it's possible."
The insect nest thought about it and added, "The genes of the species in this land are very unique. For example, after absorbing the genes of the gorilla, this insect ape is a little strange. It has great potential, so it's not impossible."
"Insect apes have a possibility? Then I'm quite happy. "Xu Zhi chatted as he strode forward.
Rumble!
The ground was shaking.
In the ancient forest, countless beasts were startled and flew away. A large number of species were fleeing.
The mountains were flattened and the rivers stopped. Some powerful species didn't even have time to react before they were trampled to death from the sky and turned into meat paste.
"He was accidentally trampled to death by me. It's just his bad luck. He was eliminated by the strong."
One kick.
A large part of the forest collapsed.
Hiss hiss hiss!! In the forest, the few terrifying beasts called Ala that were lying on the corpses of the dead insect apes were also trampled to death. They didn't even have the chance to scream.
Xu Zhi strode forward and caught up with the insect monkey deserters.
"Oh my god! What is that … "
"How can there be such a huge creature!"
"It's 10,000 times bigger than the largest 100-meter giant beast, Finbar! It trampled the terrifying Ala to death with one kick! "
"I can't even see its top. It's at least a super giant beast that's over 1,000 meters long!"
The insect apes turned their heads to look. The towering creature was like an eternal giant that pierced through the clouds. They screamed and instantly fell to the ground.
Xu Zhi understood the meaning of their simple language through the insect nest, but he didn't care.
How does an ant feel when looking at a human?
An ant could not even reach a centimeter of the shoe. When one looked up and saw the towering giant towering into the clouds, the shock one felt was unimaginable.
To them, he was a god.
