Chapter 001 Wild Evolution
"Quiet down, everyone."
Shuguang Base Plaza.
The base leader stood on the high platform in the center and said loudly, "The reason we have gathered everyone together today is because we have good news. Our base's pioneer, Meng Shisan, has accomplished an unprecedented feat."
He survived for a full seventy-two hours alone in the wilderness, without any protective measures or oxygen supply.
This broke the record of thirteen hours set by the Savage King three years ago.
He is the hope of the base! He is the dawn of humanity! He is the pioneer of civilization!
He paused for a moment, then said, "I know everyone wants to leave the base and see the vast world outside."
Everyone wants to sow the seeds of civilization in a wider world.
But the reality is cruel; for decades, we have been trapped in this tiny space.
Countless pioneers who left the base never returned alive.
But things are different now; the roles of offense and defense have shifted!
Meng Shisan's ability to survive alone in the wilderness for seventy-two hours proves that this world can be conquered!
Human will will surely overcome these cruel rules!
As long as we are willing, believe, and persevere!
One day, we will all leave the base and rebuild our civilization in a wider world!
And Meng Shisan is the beacon of hope!
It is the true dawn of our Dawn Base!
He will eventually lead us all from ruin to glory, and from glory to even greater glory!
From today onwards, Meng Shisan will enjoy the highest treatment at the base; this is the best reward for a pioneer!
Hearing this, Meng Shisan felt his blood boiling.
I couldn't help but mutter to myself, "This adrenaline rush is getting a bit too much!"
Now he understands that he has transmigrated, but his transmigration is a bit special.
If you say he time-traveled, then why does he have complete memories?
But if you say he's a soul-transmigrated individual, he's 100% certain that this body is his.
To put it simply, he transmigrated to this world, but automatically filled in the complete growth trajectory of this world.
"Dawn!"
"Dawn..."
Just then, countless people in the square began to shout.
Meng Shisan could sense the excitement and exhilaration in their tone.
"Thirteen, come on, over there is a statue erected for you. From now on, it will stand in the base square and witness humanity's conquest of the world!"
Unveil it, this is your glory, and also the hope of 191,415 people in our Dawn Base.
Its existence will tell everyone that humanity will not be defeated by any difficulties! The base leader said, then took Meng Shisan's hand and walked step by step toward the statue standing to the side.
Meng Shisan was also feeling excited, his face flushed, it was really nice to be the center of attention.
When the base leader handed him the red silk covering the statue.
With a whoosh...
The red silk ribbon fell to the ground, revealing a figure from behind.
Meng Shisan remembered that this was how he looked when he left the base a few days ago. In fact, he had never experienced these things, but he still had this damned memory in his mind.
As the statue was unveiled, the base's high command spoke again: "Humans have never been the darlings of the heavens, even if this world cannot tolerate us, and is not even willing to let us breathe freely!"
But we're still here!
Still alive!
It is thanks to generations of martyrs who, fearless of death, bravely ventured into the wilderness that we have what we have today.
At this point, the base's high-ranking officers grasped Meng Shisan's hand and raised it above their heads, saying, "Heroes may not have any earth-shattering declarations, or even towering figures. They are just like me and you, ordinary and unremarkable."
But it is because of them that we see hope!
Today, our hero, Meng Shisan, was able to conquer the wasteland alone for seventy-two hours. In the future, we will be able to completely conquer this world!
No more hiding in the base bunker to eke out a living.
One day, we will all be able to walk out of the base openly and honestly. Now, let's welcome our hero to give a speech!
"Meng Shisan!"
"Meng Shisan!"
In an instant, tens of thousands of people shouted again.
When he heard so many people calling his name, Meng Shisan became much calmer.
Looking at the dense crowd below, he felt he really should say something.
He knew they were genuinely happy.
He knew it clearly from memory.
Although the entire base has nearly 200,000 people, only about a thousand can actually leave the base without any protective measures.
Of these thousand or so people, less than half can stay outside the base, in the wilderness, for more than an hour.
And he was an exception among exceptions.
They were so eager to get out...
Or perhaps, God truly didn't give these people the opportunity to live in this world.
"Thirteen, come on, say a few words to everyone."
Without hesitation, I took the microphone.
Nearly 200,000 people see him as their hope, and he knows that this is his capital for survival in this world.
After a moment's thought, Meng Shisan said, "First of all, I must say that everything I have done is nothing compared to what our predecessors have done."
As everyone knows, decades ago, we didn't even dare to leave the base.
Back then, the wasteland was an absolute no-go zone for us.
The oxygen concentration was less than five percent of that in the base, and it was accompanied by a large amount of unidentified gas.
Our forefathers, undaunted by death, left the base one by one, bringing back our most scarce resources.
At that time, they could only stay in the wilderness for a few minutes, and after returning, they needed to rest for a long time. In severe cases, they even lost their lives.
But once they had recovered, they resolutely stepped back into the wilderness.
Repeatedly.
Finally, from a few minutes, to a dozen minutes, to tens of minutes, they used the limits of their lives, their indomitable will, and their savagery to conquer this world that has wronged us in every way!
They are the true heroes; they are the ones who achieved the breakthrough from zero to one.
It was they who expanded the base step by step to where it is today, allowing us to step out of the bunker!
On the ground, there is a square large enough to gather 200,000 people!
As the first generation of pioneers, they are truly heroes!
It is because of their existence that I was able to achieve my breakthrough of seventy-two hours today!
This honor belongs not only to me, but also to them, to every pioneer who ventured into the wilderness.
But I also want to say something.
Seventy-two hours sounds like a long time, but it's actually only three days.
How many three-day periods do we have in our lifetime? A hundred? A thousand? Or ten thousand?
Three days is nothing more than our cry to the world!
One day, I, Meng Shisan!
The second generation of pioneers.
I will definitely carry on the legacy of my fathers and lead everyone out of the base.
Go and feel the free wind.
Wade across that swiftly flowing river.
Climb that majestic mountain...
Then tell God that the more difficult things are, the more we must take root in this world!
Even if we are weak, we are still upright and strong as human beings!
Because our backbone will not bend from yielding!
Because our blood will not cool because of fear!
Even if it's God, what can He do to me!
"What can you do to me!"
After he finished speaking, the crowd in the square became excited and shouted in unison.
They were even more frenzied than before.
This is the cry they've always wanted to utter!
Heaven is unfair, but what do we have to fear?
Even the base's high-ranking officers were staring at Meng Shisan in a daze.
His eyes were filled with surprise.
"Such talent is wasted on pioneering work..."
Half an hour later, after everyone had left, the base's higher-ups led the medical center staff over and said, "Thirteen, the base plans to arrange for you to be placed in the medical center for isolation and observation."
After all, you've been away for so long. Even though you had a check-up after coming back, we're all worried about whether there will be any long-term effects.
After all, there is no precedent for us to refer to.
What do you think?
Meng Shisan had no objection to this arrangement; he also needed a quiet environment to sort things out.
"Thank you for your help." After saying that, Meng Shisan followed the others to the medical center.
After arriving at the isolation room arranged for him at the medical center, he sat on the edge of the bed without saying a word.
He wanted to figure out what was going on.
"Time travel?"
He was 100% certain of this.
But what about this memory?
Benefits for time travelers?
He held his head, feeling like his brain was about to explode.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh... hiss hiss hiss hiss..."
Just then, a series of strange sounds interrupted his thoughts.
He instinctively looked around, but even though he felt the sound was very close, he just couldn't find its source.
The entire isolation room contained nothing but a bed.
This made him a little uneasy.
When he finally realized where the sound was coming from, the hairs on his body stood on end...
