311, Global Evolution 13
Many people in the safe zone had anticipated the base expansion, but they had never thought that the safe zone would make this decision on the thirtieth day after the global mutation began.
Does this mean that the base is heavier than they imagined?
Within a few days after the news came out, everyone in the base was panicking. Now most of the safe zones have two or three families crammed into one house. When the base is expanded, will some of the people in the old base be moved there? New base, if so, how are the candidates who will be moved to the new base determined?
In the eyes of ordinary people, the old base is definitely safer than the new base. For a new base that is still under expansion and does not know the specific quality, more people maintain a bystander attitude, especially the new base is close to the traffic. The location of the highway to Beijing means risk in the eyes of many people.
The reason why Yan Guohua did not plan to confirm the base expansion decree so early was because he was worried that the base had just stabilized and any disturbance might cause panic among the survivors in the safe zone. However, now that General Xu and General Bai have joined forces for unknown reasons, the entire The top leaders of the safety zone also approved this decree. If he stubbornly blocked it, it might have a greater and worse impact. Therefore, he knew clearly that there must be a conspiracy behind this matter, but he still agreed.
When the decree was first issued, he asked his people to strictly control the direction of public opinion in the safe zone, and tried his best to convince the survivors that every decision made by the leaders of the base was based on the overall situation and for the sake of Thinking about the future of mankind.
Therefore, although there are different opinions about the expansion of the base in the safe zone, there is no real panic.
With the earth, metal and other superpowers joining the task of expanding the safe zone, the expansion of the safe zone is much faster than everyone imagined. In addition, those who have to stay in the safe zone have to Ordinary people who participated in various construction projects in the safe zone, in just over twenty days, first completed the cleanup of the mutated animals and plants in the designated area, and then began the final construction of the city wall. Nine out of ten of this project has been completed.
The villa area where Yan Chu lives is close to the outskirts of the city. It is the last section of the project. When the project is about to be completed, a piece of news that is not known to be true or false suddenly comes out in the originally peaceful safe area. .
"Have you heard that the reason why the new base is divided into the southeastern area is entirely because General Yan's illegitimate son lives there. For some unknown reason, after the global mutation came, the illegitimate son did not want to leave and grew up. General Yan had no choice but to expand the safe zone. "
In a corner of the safe area, a group of people gathered together and whispered.
"No way. Didn't the original announcement say that because the southeastern area has the least mutant animals and plants, expanding there can save as much manpower and financial resources as possible in the safe zone."
Some people don't believe it.
"Bah, what good things can those officials have? They enjoy the hot food and drink spicy food. As for us, we can't guarantee three meals a day. If we don't work, we have to be kicked out of the safe area. I believe those people will do it for us. For our sake, we might as well believe that the end will end tomorrow.”
The man who just spoke said angrily, "It's all right, how come the earth has mutated? It's not because those idiots are doing experiments behind our backs. Otherwise, it's all right, why are the animals and plants turning into that weird look, and those benign animals... The people behind the research institutions are not these powerful officials. They are just looking for death, leaving us ordinary people to take the blame for them. "
After the doomsday came, there were different opinions about the cause of this mutation. Some people believed that this must be a disaster caused by some evil scientific research organizations, and they were convinced of this.
"Anyway, none of their officials are good. Don't distract me from the topic. Listen to what I'm going on." The man realized that his words were going too far, and he quickly turned the conversation back to business.
"I haven't finished what I just said. That illegitimate son of Yan Guohua raised a mutated pine tree. My cousin who is responsible for cleaning up the mutated animals and plants in the new base said that the pine tree is already dozens of meters high. It's hard to even raise your head. You can't even see the top of the tree crown, which is densely packed with pine needles. The tree crown is so big that it almost covers the entire villa area, and it continues to expand to the surrounding area. "
The man swallowed his saliva: "I've only heard that cats and dogs can be raised to maturity, but have you heard that trees can be raised to maturity? How many superpowers do we have in our base? When we go out to perform missions, we are attacked by all kinds of strange things. Mutated plants are strangling, and our new base actually allows such mutated plants to grow, because the person who raises the mutated pine tree is the son of the actual base director of our base. Do you think this is ridiculous? Does he, Yan Guohua? Keep the lives of us ordinary people at heart.”
The man's words silenced everyone listening.
"This, it's not like that."
There was a short man who respected Yan Guohua very much and felt that this leader, who had made outstanding contributions to the development of the base after the global mutation, would not ignore the lives of so many survivors just to benefit his son.
"Why not? Just because Yan Guohua has a wife and can produce an illegitimate child, his character is corrupt and he is not worthy of our respect."
The man said angrily. He had a handsome appearance, a bit of heroism between his eyebrows and eyes, and a tough attitude when he spoke, which made people believe his words a bit more.
Did General Yan really have an illegitimate child? Did he really allow the illegitimate child to raise a mutant giant pine?
Such scenes happened in all corners of the base. Almost overnight, everyone in the base knew that Yan Guohua had an illegitimate child named Yan Chu, knew the old story of the Yan family, and knew that Yan Chu was now living in a villa within the scope of the new safety zone. That villa is now the world of a mutant giant pine. Whether the giant pine will pose a threat to humans is still unknown.

"Everything is going in the direction of our plan. Ah You, you have to bear it and appease Liu Zhen. Her father and her father's group of men can help us a lot at this time."
Yan Xin listened to the good news from his men, holding a glass of wine in his hand, and said with an unspeakable joy.
The first wife has been on their shoulders for too many years. In peacetime, they may not be able to do much. After all, there is a high possibility that they will be found out if they do anything at that time. Without full confidence, they will never touch the bottom line of the first wife.
But now it is different. Doomsday is originally a game of survival of the fittest by God. The first wife is not decisive enough and not ruthless enough. At this time, they still want to make fairness before the doomsday in the safe zone. Now the world is unfair.
The superpowers are better than ordinary people. They are the ones in power. They can have the power to command the world. In such a doomsday, as long as they have enough power, they are the emperor. What can't they do?
However, Yan Xin also appreciates his uncle's stupidity, so that he has the opportunity to win over such a group of people and accumulate enough power to deal with him.
"It's just a pity for your brother to have to deal with such a woman."
Liu Lin doesn't like the girl with the same surname as her at all. The other party's birth, knowledge and appearance do not meet her requirements for a daughter-in-law.
But who can blame Liu Zhen for her good fortune? Her father, a prisoner in a labor camp, actually escaped from prison and awakened dual-system superpowers. Her father's group of younger brothers also awakened superpowers, and they suddenly became a team of superpowers with stable relationships and strong power. Liu Zhen, an ordinary person, also benefited from them.
Liu Lin was indignant and felt that her son had been wronged. When the Liu family was no longer useful, she would definitely choose a daughter-in-law for her son that suited her heart.
Anyway, the doomsday is here now, and the reason before the doomsday is no longer applicable at this time. If her son can bear it, she can find a few more girls who are knowledgeable and interesting for her son, just like Wang Xiuxiu, who was born in an unremarkable family, but was a student of Jingshi University before the doomsday. Her conversation and cultivation were a hundred times better than Liu Zhen, and she was very good at pleasing her.
As for the daughter-in-law, it is not good to be too tough. Liu Lin likes Wang Xiuxiu, a well-behaved girl who has a little shortcoming and has to rely on her mother-in-law.
"As long as it's for my elder brother's good, I won't feel wronged at all."
Yan You curled his lips, waiting for the overall situation to be settled, and then find an opportunity to kill the annoying woman. Maybe if it works well, he can also draw this hatred to his uncle's family, so that Liu Zhen's brainless father and his good uncle's family will fight each other and both lose.
"Mom, don't worry, my brother's grievance is only temporary. Soon, my brother will be able to get rid of that annoying woman."
Yan Xin said firmly. Liu Lin looked at her two outstanding sons and thought about her elder sister-in-law who was obviously about the same age as her, but always had a bodhisattva posture and was pretentious. She suddenly felt that her life was indeed happier than that woman.
Wang Xiuxiu was now kept in the Yan family by Liu Lin in the name of a distant niece. At this time, she took advantage of the fact that her aunt at home was not paying attention and carefully stayed at the door of the study for a while. It was a pity that the sound insulation effect of the study was too good. Even if she was so close, she still heard very little.
However, some keywords were enough for her to roughly guess what the second branch of the Yan family was going to do.
"It's time... plan... Liu... spread..."
Wang Xiuxiu listened attentively. She didn't stay too long, because the two brothers of the Yan family had activated their superpowers. She was afraid that if she stayed for too long, the two people in the room would notice her presence.
After getting enough information, Wang Xiuxiu quickly left the second floor, and then returned to her room as if nothing had happened. She put on a pretty pretty makeup, put on the Aima bag that Liu Lin gave her, and dressed more exquisitely than before the doomsday. Then she left the Yan family under the pretext of meeting a friend.
Wang Xiuxiu still had many college friends staying in the safe zone, which was something the Yan family knew. She had left the Yan family before and went to find her friends, so now she left with this excuse, and it didn't arouse the suspicion of the aunts at home.
******
In the safe zone, after rumors about Yan Chu and Yan Guohua circulated privately, those who were originally skeptical completely believed the rumor because of a certain incident.
One evening, a group of men who looked like soldiers suddenly rushed into the houses where several families in the safe zone were temporarily staying. Without saying a word, they took several of them away on the pretext of discrediting General Yan and spreading false information.
How long has the safe zone been peaceful? It has never been like today, where soldiers took away people for spreading rumors.
Their families were anxious, and the whole family surrounded the government's temporary office and some large public centers in the safe base, such as the mission hall and other places with high traffic, and told Yan Guohua about his atrocities.
There was a wonderful coincidence. Those who were captured by Yan Guohua were almost all locals in Beijing. They hid in the safe zone as soon as the doomsday mutation came. There were almost no casualties among their relatives. The family was huge, and the number of close relatives was in the 20s or 30s, or even more.
Because they were arrested inexplicably, their families all made a fuss. So behind a dozen people, hundreds of relatives who appealed for them were involved, and then they quickly occupied the gates of several important agencies in the safe zone, and told the bustling crowds of people watching the excitement about Yan Guohua's crimes. Suddenly, the matter became a big deal.
"Dad, did you order the arrest?"
Yan Xiu hurried to Yan Guohua's office. This was not something his father would do. Even if he wanted to suppress the rumors, he would not use such a lame method, because doing so would not only fail to suppress the rumors, but would also rebound and completely ignite the suppressed flames in the hearts of all survivors after the doomsday.
"If I say no, do you believe it?"
Yan Guohua said to his son while smoking.
Lin Xiang didn't like him smoking, so after marrying Lin Xiang, he quit smoking, but later he didn't know why, his smoking addiction came back, he knew that this should be related to the memory he lost.
After remarrying Lin Xiang, because he was depressed, although he didn't smoke around Lin Xiang, he smoked more fiercely when Lin Xiang couldn't see him. After the doomsday, it was even more out of control. Now he couldn't get up the energy without three or four packs of cigarettes a day.
It's not that he didn't know that smoking was bad for his health. These days, he had already felt a little uncomfortable physically, but sometimes he couldn't help but think pessimistically that if he died, maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing. At least for Lin Xiang, she would be relieved and no longer have to face him, the husband who betrayed their marriage.
"Dad!" Yan Xiu looked at his father in a daze and couldn't help shouting. Looking at his father's expression, it seemed that there were not too many surprises. Could it be that although all this was not ordered by his father, it was within his expectations?
"I didn't tell Lin Quan to do these things."
Yan Guohua shook his head and said, watching his son come in, he put out the cigarette in his hand, and then opened the window beside him to ventilate the room and disperse the smoke.
"Dad, do you mean that Lin Quan was bought by someone?"
Lin Quan was fostered by his father and had deep trust from his father, but that was before the end of the world. After the end of the world, Lin Quan was one of the few lucky ones who had not experienced the red moon but still stimulated his superpowers. Since stimulating his superpowers, he began to be somewhat dissatisfied with Yan Guohua's control. After repeatedly proposing to Yan Guohua to clearly divide the class status of superpowers and ordinary people, but being rejected by Yan Guohua, the gap between the two sides became larger and larger.
These days, Yan Guohua has begun to gradually alienate Lin Quan, but in the eyes of most people, Lin Quan is still Yan Guohua's man, and everything he does should be ordered by Yan Guohua.
"Yeah."
Yan Guohua nodded, "Don't worry, Dad knows what he is doing."
Thinking of the little son who had not sat together for a good meal for two years, and only occasionally when he was panicking, he would secretly look at him, and the plan in Yan Guohua's heart became more determined.
Now that the end of the world has come, it is already difficult to find evidence from the United States where Yu Chuchu died. In this case, it is better to let Yan Xin and his mother tell the truth.
Yan Guohua believes that Lin Xiang will never harm Yu Chuchu. If Yu Chuchu's death is really not an accident, he would rather believe that there are other people involved.
But who will benefit from Yu Chuchu's death? When she was alive, Mr. Yu had not allowed her to return to China. It can be said that she would never set foot on the land of China again in her life. Moreover, her bipolar disorder was serious at that time, and she was crazy. Letting her live would not hinder anyone at all. On the contrary, her death would reduce a weapon for some people to attack him.
This is something Yan Guohua has never figured out. He only hopes that his brother, sister-in-law, and two nephews can give him an answer.
"Dad, what do you want to do?"
Yan Xiu still didn't understand. What good would it be to let those people scold and question his father's selfishness, insult his brother, and clamor to get rid of the giant pine tree that protected his brother and return a safe environment to the base?
"You'll understand when the time comes."
Yan Guohua subconsciously took out a cigarette from his chest pocket, but his son was still in the room. After thinking about it, he stopped his hand.
"Cough cough." He coughed twice, and the dull pain in his lungs seemed to be aggravated.
Yan Xiu looked at his father's determined look. Although he was still puzzled, he also knew that as long as his father made up his mind not to say something, no one could force him to say it.
In this case, it seems that all he can do is to seize the time to exercise his supernatural powers. In the doomsday, only absolute power can protect the people he wants to protect.

"Look, everyone, is my man talking nonsense? That mutated pine tree can attack people. Our family lived in that villa area at the beginning. That day, General Yan's legitimate son came to the villa area to save his alien. Mother's brother, as a result, the giant pine started to attack people for no apparent reason. Look, if Yan Xiu hadn't escaped quickly, he would have been stabbed into a hornet's nest long ago. How big was the mutated giant pine at that time? Now, It's so big that Yan Xiu can't hide from it. We ordinary people are not dead enough to become the nourishment of that giant pine. "
Outside the mission hall, a family member of one of the men arrested by Lin Quan held a tablet in his hand and pointed at the video being played inside and said to the survivors who were watching.
What was playing on the video screen was the scene when Yan Xiu wanted to take Yan Chu back forcefully, but was attacked by the giant pine.
However, the video was processed and the scene where Yan Xiu attacked Yan Chu was removed. According to the video, it looked like Yan Xiu was approaching the villa and was attacked by mutated pine trees for no reason.
The emergence of this video confirms the identity of Yan Chu's illegitimate son and the existence of such a mutant giant pine.
The onlookers who could have ignored the matter were all angry. It was a mutated plant with strong aggression. As the name of the safe zone suggests, isn't the most important word "safe"?
Why was the giant pine allowed to grow within the scope of the new safety zone? Why was such serious news concealed by the upper management until some gossip broke out and then appeared in the eyes of the public.
In the crowd, some people fanned the flames. At first, there was a buzzing sound of exchanges. Gradually, the denunciation became louder and louder. Everyone's demands and ideas seemed to be highly unified.
Let Yan Guohua stand up and give an explanation to the people in the safe zone!
Why were the mutated pine trees left in the safe zone? Is there any high-level official doing this for personal reasons? People need an explanation!
The most important thing, and the one with the loudest voice, is that the mutant giant pine must be eliminated. Otherwise, let alone the new safe zone, let’s talk about the current base. It is so close to the mutant giant pine. Who knows one day, that strange tree will Will the huge giant pine threaten the lives of the survivors of the old base?
Everyone cherishes their lives, especially those lucky ones who managed to save their lives after the end of the world.
I don’t know who started the topic.
Isn't Yan Xiu a dual-system psychic? Isn't he known as the strongest person in the base?
Since it was the Yan family who caused the trouble themselves, it was up to Yan Xiu to solve the mutant giant pine.
Otherwise, Yan Guohua will honestly give up the power of the base. He is not worthy of being the base's spokesman.
More and more people began to spontaneously gather at the government offices, shouting spontaneously. Yan Guohua stood by the window, looking at the bustling people below, and pressed the lighter in his hand. In the dark environment, fireworks When it disappears it disappears.
*****
"Has it started yet?"
Yan Chu stroked his bear-sized chin, then touched his soft belly, listening to the news he learned from his little brothers.
"It seems that we are about to know the truth."
Yan Chu twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Zhizhi——"
It felt so comfortable, and I wanted to touch my butt. Xiong Da pulled Yan Chu’s hand and asked him to touch his fat butt quickly.
Yan Chu couldn't help laughing because of Xiong Da's interruption.
This was the Rat King in his previous life. Thinking about the truth he accidentally learned after returning from the safe base, Yan Chu couldn't help but feel a little disillusioned.
Following Xiong Da's request, Yan Chu satisfied this great hero.
What is supposed to come will always come, and Yan Chu has been waiting for this day for a long time.
