"Damn, Lao Lu, that's impressive! Staying up all night to grill meat here."

Lin Feng was the first to walk over.

"Is this a wild boar? It smells so good!"

Luo Qingcheng was the second to walk over.

Soon after, the others were also awakened by the fragrance.

Of course, except for Zhao Qiang, that dead pig, who was still snoring.

Lu Yuan didn't say much and continued roasting the wild boar meat, while the others also started to cook.

This wild boar weighs several hundred pounds and has now been cut into more than a dozen large pieces, with each person holding a fork and grilling it.

Bai Ling, standing to the side, was practically drooling.

Its owner had promised to roast meat for it, which was why Gong Yuehan was allowed to sit on its back.

However, the other people were really annoying, so many of them came at once, they must be here to steal his meat, so Bai Ling stared at the roasted meat in Lu Yuan's hand with covetous eyes.

He didn't blink an eye.

Lu Yuan knew his pet was greedy, so he reached out and patted Bai Ling's head.

This indicates that you shouldn't rush.

"This is the Taotie? It doesn't look like it at all!"

"I feel more like a little glutton."

Luo Qingguo's mouth couldn't stay shut up again. Now she didn't dare to talk about Lu Yuan, so she started to badmouth Bai Ling.

Bai Ling wasn't going to tolerate this two-legged beast, and jumped directly from Lu Yuan's arms onto Luo Qingguo's head.

In no time at all, he had turned Luo Qingguo's hair into a complete mess.

Bai Ling knew she couldn't use too much force, otherwise Luo Qingguo would probably have been disfigured.

"Captain, look at your pet, and my hair!"

Luo Qingguo wanted to cry but had no tears, and Lu Yuan ignored her; that's just how she is.

After spending a few days together, Lu Yuan discovered that Luo Qingguo wasn't malicious, but she was just prone to offending people with her words; to put it simply, she was the type who didn't know how to speak properly.

These are the kinds of people who are often not very likable, but once you recognize them as friends, they are absolutely loyal.

This is also why Lu Yuan kept her; she's the kind of person who wouldn't betray you or play dirty tricks.

Once it's subdued, it will definitely be a powerful weapon in your hands, hitting wherever you point it without hesitation!

"Brother Yuan, why have you been gone for so long?"

Luo Qingcheng finally couldn't hold back and asked the question.

"Some things happened today, which caused a delay."

Lu Yuan gave a casual reply.

Since Lu Yuan was unwilling to talk about it, Luo Qingcheng didn't feel comfortable asking and could only turn her gaze to Gong Yuehan.

I've heard that women and girls walk differently, but I don't know if it's true or not.

To her disappointment, Gong Yuehan sat quietly to the side like a well-behaved child, not saying a word, let alone walking.

"We've already been delayed by a day; we should set off tomorrow."

"By the way, I have some weapons. Take a look and see if any of them are suitable for you."

Lu Yuan threw out all the weapons in the secret realm, leaving only an iron rod for Zhizhi.

These weapons came in all shapes and sizes, including short guns and long guns.

I don't know where they came from, but they all look to be in pretty good condition.

Lin Feng was the first to pick up a sword and immediately fell in love with it.

"I want this sword; it suits my personality better."

"What a fine sword! What a fine sword!"

Lin Feng admired it all, praising it as he did so.

"That's really despicable!"

"You two are a perfect match, a trio of scoundrels together are invincible!"

Lu Yuan's words immediately drew laughter from everyone.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they went to rest.

Of course, the group didn't eat much; after all, the wild boar weighed several hundred kilograms, and the group only ate about ten kilograms together.

Bai Ling ate almost everything else.

After everyone had fallen asleep, Lu Yuan went to the rooftop and began to summon Ah Chou.

"Owner!"

Lu Yuan didn't say anything, but handed a roasted wild boar leg to Ah Chou.

Ah Chou sniffed it, his eyes lit up, and he started to nibble on it. It was so delicious!

She had never eaten anything so delicious before.

Lu Yuan watched from the side, and to be honest, once you put on Gong Yuehan's clothes, you looked almost like a human.

Actually, Ah Chou has evolved very successfully, except for his grayish-white skin and somewhat stiff skin.

At first glance, it looks like a human.

Lu Yuan reached out and pinched Ah Chou's body; basically, about one-third of it had already begun to soften.

The softening indicates a move towards a more human-like design; simply put, it means greater flexibility.

Zombies are actually a product of failed evolution. Newly formed zombies have all their skin, flesh, and internal organs necrotic.

Simply put, it has begun to rot.

If at this point they can obtain the nutrients needed for evolution, then their technology will become rigid.

This is a form of self-protection; if it doesn't harden, it will rot and eventually become a skeleton.

At that point, they wouldn't be zombies anymore; they would be corpses.

Once their bodies become stiff, if they continue to evolve, there are two possible evolutionary paths.

The first type evolves into an alien state, such as extending tentacles, or developing into something neither human nor ghost.

The second type is like Ah Chou, who is closer to humans. In their subconscious, they are just like humans.

Then, as they gradually move towards a human-like situation, this subconsciousness will directly influence their future development.

For example, some experts predict that elephants in Africa may stop growing tusks in a few decades.

Or, the ivory is getting shorter and shorter.

Because they subconsciously know that the reason humans hunt them is for their ivory.

So they don't want this thing, and this thought becomes a habit, a subconscious habit.

Then it is passed down from generation to generation, and in this way their genes will change, and the ivory will gradually shorten until it disappears.

Throughout history, you either change your living environment or adapt to it. Those who neither change nor adapt will be eliminated.

Take Ah Chou for example.

When Lu Yuan first saw her, she was incredibly ugly.

That's why he has the name Ah Chou.

But as time went on, Ah Chou discovered that the people around her master were different from her, so subconsciously she wanted to change in the direction of these humans.

Over time, this change becomes quite obvious.

Of course, this also depends on the stage. Before there is a clear direction, it is possible to develop in any direction.

Once a direction is decided, changing it is almost impossible.

Take Ah Chou for example.

If it wanted to evolve into an alien now, it simply couldn't, because its genes are already fixed.

However, one thing remains the same: strength.

As their level increases, they awaken more special abilities, and their combat power becomes stronger, eventually growing into a regional overlord—the Corpse Emperor!
