Wild Evolution: I am the real-life Demon God!

Chapter 020 Night in the Wasteland

Attacking reinforcements from a single point is nothing to Yan Zhiyu and his men.

In Lu Ping's words, this is a cultural "dimensional reduction attack".

That afternoon, the group seized the energy panel.

As for the pioneers that Xie Linyuan was worried about, they never appeared from beginning to end.

"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. With this energy plate, getting through these few days shouldn't be a problem." By the River of Burial Souls, Lu Ping hugged the energy plate, grinning from ear to ear.

Xie Linyuan ignored him and turned to Yan Zhiyu, pointing to the group of people who were tied up in the distance: "What do we do with these guys?"

"If you ask me, just throw it into the Burial Soul River and destroy the evidence." Xie Linbo, who was lying on the ground with his hands behind his head and his legs crossed, said.

Yan Zhiyu hesitated for a moment, then shook her head: "Forget it, let them fend for themselves."

Killing someone sounds simple, but when it came to actually doing it, she hesitated.

"Meng Shisan is right. With your kind of mentality, you think you can overthrow the base?" Hearing this, Xie Linbo sighed, "Womanly compassion will not lead to great things."

"What did you say?" Yan Zhiyu shifted her position and grabbed Xie Linbo's ear. "I didn't hear you clearly. Say it again?"

Xie Linbo gasped, muttering, "Hey Xie Linyuan, do you even need to ask about this? Asking is just womanly compassion!"

Our sister must be beautiful inside and out...

Xie Linyuan didn't mind and said, "He's actually right. We're still not used to this world."

In this world, perhaps only people like Meng Shisan can truly stand firm.

If his plan succeeds, great; if it fails, it will be a plan that wipes out his entire family line.

Even he himself was caught in this scheme to wipe out his family line.

Such a ruthless person can find a place anywhere.

On the other hand, we…

Xie Linyuan shook his head; he couldn't bring himself to do it either.

"If they had resisted in the first place, we would have killed them, but now they've all surrendered..." Yan Zhiyu let go, stood up, patted the dust off his backside, and said with a hint of helplessness.

"That's why I said Meng Shisan is the one who truly belongs in this world. If it were him, he wouldn't hesitate at all," Xie Linyuan said. "We're still a bit lacking."

At this point, Xie Linyuan looked around and said, "By the way, I reckon Meng Shisan also came from another time."

"Really?" Lu Ping, who had been holding the energy panel, immediately became interested upon hearing this.

Even Xie Linbo, who was lying down, and the others immediately looked at Xie Linyuan.

"It should be right," Xie Linyuan said. "When Sister Yan mentioned that we were transmigrators, he was surprised but didn't investigate further. That's when I started to have my suspicions."

"What's the problem?" Lu Ping asked, looking puzzled.

"Aren't you a cultured person?" Xie Linyuan was quite speechless. "Cultural people, please explain how the natives know about the concept of time travel?"

We also have indigenous memories, and do those memories contain the concept of time travel?

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone suddenly understood!

……

"So that's how you exposed yourself..." On the other side, Meng Shisan coaxed Baozi out again, but this time he didn't inquire about Baozi's previous slip of the tongue. Instead, he asked how he had been exposed.

"Actually, this is good. We're all time travelers, and before any conflict arises, your relationship will actually become closer." Baozi said, panting.

Meng Shisan asked curiously, "What are you doing? You look so weak."

"You have no idea about the Long March. It was a long and arduous journey, involving crossing mountains and rivers. It was exhausting."

"What do you mean?"

"It means it's preparing to climb from your head onto your shoulder, you get it?"

"No, do you have to make such a big deal out of something as simple as raising your hand?"

"Exaggeration?" Baozi immediately objected. "Come on, walk back to the base from here without panting, let me see."

A well-fed man doesn't know the hunger of a starving man. You don't even look at your physique, and I don't look at mine.

This journey was no less than a long march for me…

Meng Shisan smiled awkwardly, realizing that it made sense, and immediately asked with great curiosity, "Then why did you go through all that trouble?"

"Don't pry into what's going on in society. You'll find out when the time comes." Clearly, it wasn't going to say anything, so Meng Shisan didn't press it further. This guy had always been like that—not very big, but with quite a temper.

Baozi seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said, "By the way, you could try to get on good terms with Yan Zhiyu and the others."

This group is interesting. It's not surprising that one person broke through the memory suppression, but what's strange is that the whole group of them broke through the memory suppression.

They all realized they had traveled through time.

……

"Did Meng Shisan realize that he had traveled through time?"

On the other side, Yan Zhiyu asked a question with great concern.

"It doesn't look like it has," Xie Linyuan explained. "His memory suppression is probably more severe than ours."

I saw how he treated Er'er; he truly treated her like his own daughter. At most, we just felt a little guilty.

However, if we keep provoking him, he'll eventually realize it over time.

"That's great! Our team is missing a ruthless guy like him." Xie Linbo, who had already sat up, slapped his thigh. "When he realizes it, we'll pull him into my team. Tsk tsk tsk, with him on the team, I can't even imagine how exciting it will be."

"Alright, that's exciting enough. Lin Yuan, go contact Meng Shisan and ask how we're going to get through tonight."

"Don't let them all freeze to death; that would be a classic case of dying before even starting the mission."

Yan Zhiyu had no doubt about Xie Linyuan's judgment; among their group, Xie Linyuan was the most outstanding in this regard.

More than an hour later, the two sides met on a hilltop.

Meng Shisan's side naturally consisted of himself and Er'er, while Yan Zhiyu only brought Xie Linyuan, Lu Ping, and Xie Linbo.

"You only stole one energy panel?" Meng Shisan asked, somewhat surprised.

"One piece is enough. I calculated it, and it's just enough for us to last until then in the wasteland."

"Having too much is actually useless; it will only anger the base."

After Xie Linyuan finished speaking, he looked around and then gave Xie Linbo a wink.

"Idol, we'll talk later. I'll go make some arrangements first." Xie Linbo understood and said goodbye to Meng Shisan before leaving with the others.

He quickly arranged for several people to guard the surroundings. From their high vantage point, no one could escape their eyes, no matter which direction they came from.

"How are we going to get through tonight?" Yan Zhiyu finally asked. "Last night, all of us were freezing."

"Okay, I know a coal mountain. I'll take you there to collect some," Meng Shisan said, pointing in a direction. "It's over there. Just go over that hill. It won't take much time to drive there."

"Fire consumes oxygen, which is practically suicidal in the wilderness. As a pioneer, didn't you know that?" Yan Zhiyu asked, somewhat surprised.

Meng Shisan was even more surprised than her, her eyes widening: "What does consuming oxygen have to do with you? You're all wearing battle armor, what, do you want to burn yourself out inside your armor?"

After he finished speaking, Yan Zhiyu was stunned and turned to look at Xie Linyuan.

Xie Linyuan, who was usually calm and collected, remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "No, we have no problem, but what about you?"

Are you going to put on armor too?

Hearing him say that, Yan Zhiyu turned around, bowed, and remained silent.

Meng Shisan, unaware of the details, explained, "Don't worry about me, I'm fine."

"Alright, we'll go right now." Xie Linyuan said, then turned and left without any hesitation.

After they got into the car and left, Meng Shisan heard a burst of wild laughter.

With doubts in mind, Meng Shisan drove ahead to lead the way.

Before long, the group had collected a considerable amount of coal.

When everyone returned to the hilltop, Meng Shisan asked, "By the way, what about those people at the base? Were they all dealt with?"

"Um..." Yan Zhiyu stammered, "I've left it under someone's watch for now; it hasn't been dealt with yet."

She understood that for people like them to gain a foothold in this world, they had to be ruthless, but that took time.

Upon hearing her words, Meng Shisan immediately understood and laughed, "It's alright, let them watch. I'll pretend to have rescued them and get them to contact the base, then I can go back with a legitimate reason."

"Yes, yes, that's what we think too..." Yan Zhiyu replied without batting an eye.

Meng Shisan was too lazy to expose her.

Immediately, those who needed to start a fire did so, and those who needed to contact someone contacted the person who needed to contact them.

Putting everything else aside, it was definitely lively and bustling.

Meng Shisan went back to the car and huddled with Er'er, asking, "Do you want to go with these uncles tonight?"

"No!" Er'er threw herself into Meng Shisan's arms.

"They're not bad people," Meng Shisan explained. "Father is watching right there; you can see him if you look up."

It's too cold staying with Daddy at night.

"Er'er isn't afraid of the cold." The little girl shook her head like a rattle drum.

Seeing this, Meng Shisan stopped trying to persuade him.

How can a lost sense of security be easily regained?

As darkness fell, Yan Zhiyu's team arrived, but as the sky grew darker, everyone's expressions gradually became tense.

Before long, it got completely dark, and everyone's expression became serious for no apparent reason.

The night in the wasteland was as black as ink.

Apart from the occasional gusts of eerie wind, it was eerily quiet.

Actually, it's quite quiet during the day, but since it's visible during the day, it doesn't seem so scary.

But this pitch-black night, as far as the eye can see, is like an abyss.

Everyone sat in a circle, their backs to the fire, and no one spoke.

Because they knew that in the darkness, a pair of eyes were watching them...
