Chapter 145: Natural Selection

The law of natural selection is that the fittest survive, and this principle is not only valid for the human race.

The same is true for these marine creatures.

They live well in the water, why do they suddenly grow multiple pincers? Suddenly grow human hands?

It must be the environment that is putting pressure on them.

Because the end of the world is coming, various natural disasters have followed one after another.

Humans have evolved superpowers quickly, and marine creatures have also begun their own evolution.

Chen Qingqing looked at the "monster" in the basin.

Humans think this thing is disgusting.

But among marine creatures, this monster may be a leader in priority evolution, and a "superpower" among them.

But it only grows human hands and cannot go ashore.

Chen Qingqing guessed that marine life would grow human legs and human bodies in the future...

Ming Peilan didn't dare to listen anymore: "Could it be possible for mermaids to evolve in the future?"

Lin Bo narrowed his eyes slightly: "Not necessarily mermaids, more likely fishmen."

The same two words, but fish heads and human bodies are much more terrifying than human heads and fish bodies.

Ming Peilan wiped the non-existent sweat: "I am an old man, and it's ok that I can't enjoy my old age, but I also want to experience Journey to the West."

"In the future, there will be fishmen, maybe birdmen, dogmen... Everything has to be human, is it so easy to be a human?"

Chen Qingqing couldn't help laughing: "Maybe there will be that time."

At that time, humans will finally stop killing each other, and everyone will work together to deal with the foreign "new human" species.

... New human?

Chen Qingqing was stunned again.

This word somehow fits the style of the "new world" mentioned in the early childhood education books.

Just now Chen Qingqing thought that Ming Peilan was just joking, just an unfounded guess.

But now it seems...

maybe what Ming Peilan said will come true one day?

Chen Qingqing fell into deep thought.

She had to try hard to think of various possible solutions.

"I remember that the sea level will drop soon."

"Is this related to the mutation of this group of fish?"

Ming Peilan suddenly asked, "Are you sure that the sea level will start to drop soon?"

"The village chief came to deliver food just now, and we chatted with him for a few words."

"He said... the sea level seems to have started to drop."

Chen Qingqing was completely stunned.

How could it be so fast!

How could something that was discovered two years later in the previous life be discovered so much earlier?

Chen Qingqing tried her best to calm down: "Maybe Uncle Zhang is wrong... I'll ask people in the nearby villages and we'll know."

Seeing that Chen Qingqing was very serious and anxious, Ming Peilan couldn't help but get anxious too.

She wanted to persuade Chen Qingqing, but she didn't know where to start.

Now only Chen Qingqing has the ability to change the status quo, and no one can help Chen Qingqing.

Ming Peilan hugged Xiaohuan: "Then I'll take Xiaohuan to rest."

Chen Qingqing shook her head: "I'm going to take Xiaohuan with me this time."

No one expected Chen Qingqing to bring Xiaohuan with her.

Only Xiaohuan happily threw himself into his mother's arms: "Okay! Mom and I will go out together!"

Ming Peilan was worried: "Are you sure? Xiaohuan..."

Chen Qingqing slowly exhaled: "Aunt Ming, I think I was wrong before."

"I always feel that I should protect Xiaohuan as much as possible."

Because she felt that she and Lin Bo had the ability to protect the two children.

But now Chen Qingqing not only knows that the new generation of children are the protagonists of this national change, but she was also forced to accept the sudden change.

Too many uncertain factors made her gradually realize that even if she was reborn and had space, she might not be able to protect the two children for their entire lives. What

if she can't even live for three years?

There are too many variables.

If Chen Qingqing is not sure about her future, she can only make the most of her present life.

For example, she can train Xiaohuan to deal with various crises as much as possible while she is still alive.

In case she has to leave Xiaohuan one day, Xiaohuan will also have the ability to protect himself.

Ming Peilan hesitated: "With so many of us, can't we protect a child?"

"And Xiaohuan is only six years old. Isn't it bad to let him be exposed to so much now?"

Without waiting for Chen Qingqing to speak, Xiaohuan hugged Chen Qingqing's arm and retorted: "I'm almost seven years old! I'm a big boy!"

"When I was six, you said I was young, but now I'm one year older and can protect my parents and sister!"

Xiaohuan paused, as if he felt that what he said was not too serious, and added in a low voice:

"Even if I can't protect Dad and Mom, I can always protect my sister, right?"

Xiaohuan became less and less confident as he spoke, and looked up at his mother: "Mom, can I do it?"

Chen Qingqing touched Xiaohuan's head with relief.

"Mom believes in you."

"When you master your abilities, you will definitely be able to protect our family."

Xiaohuan smiled immediately.

Chen Qingqing took Xiaohuan out of the village, preparing to ask about the horizontal plane in a nearby village.

However, more than ten minutes later, she stood at the entrance of the village and looked at the empty village, feeling a little confused.

She remembered that there were still many people here when she came here last time.

She solved all the zombies for them and received their warm thanks.

They accompanied Chen Qingqing and her family all the way to the village entrance and gave them a lot of fruits they grew themselves.

But now it feels like a ghost village.

Chen Qingqing patted Xiaohuan's shoulders twice: "Xiaohuan, try to hear any sound."

"Yeah!"

Xiaohuan tried to concentrate, listening carefully to the sounds around him while walking.

Suddenly, Xiaohuan pointed to a car not far away that seemed to have been abandoned for a long time: "Mom, there is someone there!"

Chen Qingqing walked over immediately, protecting Xiaohuan behind her.

Chen Qingqing tentatively called out: "Is there anyone there?"

"..."

I don't know if it was Chen Qingqing's illusion, there seemed to be movement inside, but it didn't seem to be a response.

...Is it shaking?

Chen Qingqing cleared her throat: "We have no bad intentions... Do you remember me? I came to help you kill zombies before, and you gave me a lot of fruits."

The next second, the car door was actually opened.

Chen Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, and just as she was about to step forward, a dark shadow suddenly jumped out of the car.

Chen Qingqing quickly hugged Xiaohuan.

Xiaohuan pointed at the man squirming on the ground and said blankly: "Mom, he seems to be out of breath."

Chen Qingqing turned around, and the man who had just jumped out of the car was indeed holding his throat, his mouth opened as wide as possible, and breathing heavily.

But it seemed that something was stuck in his trachea, and he couldn't breathe in fresh air.

"Help... me..."

Chen Qingqing looked around and let go of Xiaohuan after making sure there was no other danger, and came to the man.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Are you stuck?"

The man opened his mouth wide, and Chen Qingqing could even see his throat.

There was indeed something stuck in his throat.

Something that shouldn't have a hand.
