Chapter 12: The Evolution of Crops

It was a camp with thousands of people.

At this moment, the entire place was in dead silence.

After Zhou Yuan calmed his breathing, he slowly stood up.

Tian Jinghan came back to her senses and fell to the ground in fear.

Her face was deathly pale as she looked at the bearded butcher on the ground, her eyes filled with fear.

She wasn’t sad at all that the bearded butcher had died.

Although on the surface, she was pandering to him in every way possible, in her heart, she was actually about to die from disgust.

However, since the bearded butcher had died at Zhou Yuan’s hands, would she, the instigator, have a good ending?

Even if she used her toes to think, she knew that it would not be good!

Tian Jinghan hurriedly turned over and kneeled at Zhou Yuan’s feet.

She hugged Zhou Yuan’s leg and kept begging for mercy.

“Zhou Yuan, I was wrong! I was wrong!”

“Please spare me! I’ll do whatever you want me to do in the future!”

“I’m your slave!”

“Master! Master, please spare this servant!”

As she pleaded, she tried to raise her head.

She gave Zhou Yuan a smile that was uglier than a crying face.

She was hoping that Zhou Yuan would spare her life for the sake of her appearance.

However, was Zhou Yuan such a person?

He didn’t even think much of this class beauty when he exchanged water for items.

Now that this flower had been touched by a pig for two days, he felt disgusted just by looking at her.

Breaking free from Tian Jinghan’s hug, Zhou Yuan pulled out the dagger from the bearded butcher’s body and slowly squatted down.

Looking at the fear on Tian Jinghan’s face, Zhou Yuan couldn’t help but shake his head.

“If you knew this would happen, why did you do it then?”

“You should be very clear about this.”

“The era of that civilization has become a thing of the past.”

“And in this man-eating world, if you can’t kill your enemy, you will be killed by your enemy.”

“Remember this lesson in your next life.”

Hearing these words, Tian Jinghan’s expression changed from pitiful to dull, and then to resentful.

“No matter which era it is, I’m always above the rest!”

“You disgusting losers should kneel and lick my boots!”

“Why can’t I drink water!”

“Why won’t you give me water!!!”

“Why…Uh, uh …”

Tian Jinghan’s crazy and resentful voice suddenly stopped.

Zhou Yuan slowly stabbed the dagger into Tian Jinghan’s heart.

Until the 20-centimeter blade had completely sunk into her flesh.

With the matter resolved, Zhou Yuan stood up with ease.

He patted off the dust and blood on his body, like an old farmer who had just finished his work.

Then, he casually glanced around.

No one dared to look at him in the eyes!

At this moment, a hunched man walked to Zhou Yuan’s side with a package in his hands.

“Hello, hero!”

“Thank you for eliminating the evil person from Agricultural University’s camp.”

“This is a small gift to express my gratitude.”

“Please accept it.”

Zhou Yuan looked at the interesting fellow in front of him and revealed a half-smile.

This person was around 30 years old, and he was the one who had used his life as a betting chip.

The so-called thank you gift was actually an apology and a plea for mercy.

This person was just putting on a layer of flattery.

“What’s your name?” Zhou Yuan asked indifferently.

“Hero, my name is Zhang He.”

“May I ask what’s your name, Hero?”

Zhou Yuan almost burst out laughing again.

“Why do you sound like you’re acting?”

“There is no need to be so restrained.”

“I’m Zhou Yuan. ”

“Take these things and get a few people to clean up this place.”

“It’s an eyesore,”

Zhang He immediately agreed.

“Alright, Mr. Zhou.”

“I’ll go now. ”

However, there was no need for Zhang He to shout for help as people immediately took the initiative.

The subordinates of the bearded butcher were worried that they couldn’t find an opportunity to perform.

When they heard this, they immediately ran over.

To show that they had drawn a clear line with the original owner, some of them even cursed and kicked the bearded butcher’s body when they were moving it.

Zhou Yuan did not care about this at all.

After this little episode, he could be considered to have gained a firm foothold here.

There was an 80% chance that no one would find trouble with him.

For this, he suddenly felt that he should thank Tian Jinghan.

Forget it, she was already dead anyway.

Zhou Yuan walked into the library under the watchful eyes of countless people.

In the library.

Zhou Yuan shook his head as he looked at the scene.

The butcher had turned such a nice little villa into a pigsty.

Despite that, Zhou Yuan still covered his mouth and nose and searched the room patiently.

The butcher had dominated this place for so long, so he should have had a lot of good things.

However, after a round of searching, Zhou Yuan was left speechless.

There was only some food and drinks in the entire house.

The rest of the items were mainly for fun and use. Some of them could only be used by women.

As for the valuable things, it might be the self-made gun he got from the butcher.

After asking, the system gave a price of 30 gold coins.

Since it was difficult to use and not safe, Zhou Yuan decisively exchanged it.

Sitting on the sofa, Zhou Yuan was a little disappointed.

However, Zhou Yuan was stunned when he saw it from the corner of his eyes.

There was a shelf in the corner that had no books but an inconspicuous package on it.

Zhou Yuan walked over and opened it. He was overjoyed.

It was filled with vacuum-packed seeds.

Rice, wheat, various fruits, and vegetables!

It had everything!

There was even the label of the Agricultural University on it.

In an instant, Zhou Yuan’s depression and speechlessness disappeared.

To Zhou Yuan, this bag of seeds was definitely the biggest fortune in the wasteland.

Although the environment had changed and it had become more difficult to grow plants.

However, one should not forget that Zhou Yuan was a man with a system.

After an evolution, it would definitely create a batch of seeds that could adapt to the wasteland environment.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuan impatiently picked out two of the most practical ones.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes.

These two had high production.

Furthermore, they were unlike rice and wheat, which had to be threshed and peeled, or even ground into powder before they could be eaten.

As long as these two vegetables were ripe, they could be eaten raw.

With two bags of seeds in hand, Zhou Yuan ran out of the room.

Zhou Yuan’s reappearance attracted everyone’s attention.

After looking around, Zhou Yuan called Zhang He over again.

“Does the butcher have land?”

Zhang He replied respectfully.

“There is. Shall I take you there?”

Zhou Yuan nodded, and the two of them walked to the side.

The so-called field was very close to the teaching building and the library, less than two hundred meters apart.

All the land that could be planted was surrounded by ropes of different colors.

When they arrived, Zhang He pointed ahead and said,

“Mr. Zhou, the red rope in front belongs to the butcher.”

Zhou Yuan nodded as he held the seed and chanted in his mind.

“System, spend 100 gold coins to evolve these two bags of seeds.”

Here, Zhou Yuan played a trick to see if he could find a bug.

Logically speaking, these two bags of seeds were separately packaged, so they should consume two evolution chances.

[200 gold coins are required for two evolution chances.]

[Please confirm if the host wants to evolve.]

Zhou Yuan pursed his lips. As expected, he could not cause a bug.

“Yes, evolve them.”

In an instant, an invisible force entered the two bags of seeds, changing the structure of the seeds.

[Evolution complete. The two bags of seeds have evolved into: ]

[Agricultural University’s high-yield sweet potatoes = anti-radiation rapid-production sweet potatoes]

[Agricultural University’s high-yield potatoes = anti-radiation rapid-production potatoes]

[The growth cycle has been reduced to one-tenth of the original, and the production has been increased by ten times.]

Zhou Yuan was overjoyed!

With this, Zhou Yuan would never go hungry again!

With this in mind, Zhou Yuan immediately tore open the packaging and poured out the seed.

The seeds of the sweet potatoes were like brown Gomoku, while the potatoes were the lumps of the potatoes themselves.

Seeing this, Zhang He stepped forward and said,

“Mr. Zhou, I’ll find someone to help you plant them.”

“You don’t have to do this personally!”

Zhou Yuan did not refuse.

It just so happened that he wanted Zhang He to find someone to watch over these 24/7.

This was to prevent some hungry ghost from digging out the seed to eat.

At this moment.

An angry voice sounded.

“Is this how you should plant them?”

“Don’t you have any common sense?”
