Every world is full of ghosts and monsters begging for hugs

Six years after the "New World Tree" crisis, news broke that humans had attempted to develop controllable "black mud," which almost caused humans to be engulfed by the rioting "black mud." Even though some high-level officials wanted to suppress the news, it spread quickly on the Internet, and students in all buildings knew about it, causing an uproar in an instant.

Many people regard staying in the building to study as the only way to change their destiny. They have never thought that they are just a part of the so-called test. Once they are evaluated as "waste", they will be thrown into the underground to be fed with "black mud".

When the fuse was lit, more and more things were blown out.

For example, decades ago, the disappearance of the plagiarist author with the pen name "Banzhuan Chopped Lajiao" was not accidental, but because of his talent for imitation, he was chosen to become the spokesperson for the "Queen Bee Project".

After discovering the "Queen Bee Project", Song Xueying naturally thought about escaping, but unfortunately she hid in the equipment room of the gymnasium with the important document and was soon caught.

Unfortunately, two students witnessed Song Xueying being arrested, so the two students, a boy and a girl, were also arrested and became one of the subjects of the experiment.

Unfortunately, these two people did not have as good talents as Song Xueying. After just a little bit of the "black mud" substance was absorbed, their bodies could not bear it and an accident occurred.

The female student died in pain in the laboratory, with only a book beside her before she died.

The male student developed rejection in his body, and his body was torn into pieces, and no one knew where his head went.

And in those so-called "cultivation of a new world tree" experiments conducted by the top management, it is certain that more than just these two people died.

For a time, the building known as absolutely safe was filled with all kinds of voices, and the conflicts between ordinary people and senior management intensified. When unstable factors accumulated to a critical point, new unrest would surely come again.

But there are also many people who are trying to change this bad situation.

An expedition team was carrying heavy equipment and walking through the wild with difficulty. There were five people in total. On the way, they encountered mutated wild beasts. Three team members were bitten, but fortunately they were not killed and had to go to the nearest medical center for treatment.

Now there are only two people left moving forward: a man and a woman.

After long periods of exposure to the sun and rain, their skin has become dark and their bodies are covered with scars, but despite their haggard faces, the determination in their eyes has never been extinguished.

"So, you plan to look for the first generation of the World Tree, try to find its core, and research a way to eliminate the original black mud?"

In front of the burning campfire, the hot water boiling in the simple kettle gurgled. In the endless darkness, only this little firelight could make people feel at ease.

The person who was speaking was a woman in a cloak. Even in the dim light at night, one could tell that she was very beautiful. In the dangerous wilderness, she had fair skin and her long hair was simply tied behind her head, embellished only with a hairpin inlaid with blue gems. She looked bright yet gentle, clean and tidy, and seemed out of place in this dark night.

The female team member is called Ye Xi. Although she has suffered a lot in the harsh environment of the wilderness, she is tall, with heroic eyes and eyebrows, and her beauty is definitely no less than anyone else.

Handing a cup of hot water to the woman, Ye Xi said: "We have never thought about eliminating the black mud. It has existed for hundreds of years and has merged with nature. Perhaps it has already become a part of the biological cycle. It is so huge that we cannot eliminate it. We want to find a way to coexist with it on Earth."

"Yes, as long as we figure out how to coexist, humans won't be confined to those buildings." The person who spoke was the male team member Fang Wang, a young man with strong features. His eyes sparkled when he mentioned his beautiful wishes. "Children don't have to look through glass windows to see the sky, and flowers don't have to exist only in laboratories. Our descendants can run in the wild and play among the green grass and flowers. This is the world we want to pursue!"

The woman drank some hot water, glanced at the two young men, and asked, "Just for an invisible future, you left the safe zone and walked in the dangerous wilderness. Aren't you afraid of being eaten by wild beasts or swallowed by the black mud everywhere?"

Ye Xi smiled and said, "If we were scared, we wouldn't have come out."

Fang Wang said: "Some things always have to be started by someone. We believe that as long as more and more people join us and make more changes, the world will become a better place one day."

Ye Xi said: "Our organization is different from those greedy high-level people."

The organization she mentioned is called "Homeward Journey," and it has slowly developed in the past few years. In the beginning, there were only a few young people, but later more and more people voluntarily joined, and it has become a grassroots force that cannot be underestimated.

There are many people like Ye Xi and Fang Wang who walk on foot. They move in different directions and encounter many dangers. There will be blood and tears, and there will be sacrifices. But as long as they see a small green grass in the wild, it can become their motivation to move forward.

The woman put down her water cup and said with a smile: "You are great. I admire you very much."

Fang Wang touched the back of his head embarrassedly, "Actually, we are not as powerful as you say."

Ye Xi asked curiously: "Why are you walking outside alone so late?"

They were also frightened when they saw a woman walking in the wild. They knew it was not safe here and a beast might rush out and bite people at any time. So they invited the woman to sit down with them in the stronghold. There was a fire here and the beasts would not dare to approach.

"I've been at home for too long, so I wanted to go out for a walk." She lowered her eyebrows and placed one hand on her slightly protruding belly. The maternal tenderness added a layer of radiance to her. Against the backdrop of the firelight, her aura made people feel at ease for no reason.

Because she was wearing a black cloak and because the lighting was bad, Ye Xi and Fang Wang did not notice any other information. Now they could not help but look at each other with their eyes wide open in surprise.

This slim and fit woman is actually a pregnant woman!

She is pregnant, but she didn't stay in the safe zone and went out for a walk. Isn't she too brave?

Fang Wang wanted to ask, but Ye Xi quickly pulled him back and whispered, "I heard that pregnant women will become emotionally unstable due to hormone secretion. Maybe she ran away because of a conflict with her husband. Don't ask about things that make people sad."

Fang Wang shut his mouth, but he couldn't help but glance in the direction of the woman. It was at this moment that he noticed several pairs of dark red eyes fixed on the big black tree behind the woman.
