Protagonist:

Shen Yao

Although their landing point was a small villa district, the occupancy rate had always been low.

Just like where they lived, only a few households were occupied nearby; Shen Yao and her mother and daughters living here were relatively safe because there were no supporting facilities around, and even if someone really wanted to do something, they would weigh the pros and cons, finally pondering for a long time before moving to someplace more secure.

Shen Chengyi couldn't sleep, so she simply took the two younger ones at home to an empty room on the first floor to exercise.

According to Shen Chengyi, the world would become chaotic next; how could Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning protect themselves if they didn't train properly?

As for Shen Yao, don't let her biological mother's weak appearance fool you; in terms of fighting ability, she was in no way inferior to Shen Chengyi, who didn't worry about Shen Yao's safety at all.

"Eldest Sister, you're going too far!"

Shen Chengyu puffed up with anger, her face turning into a steamed bun, her eyes wide and round, clearly displeased.

Shen Chengning stood obediently beside Shen Chengyu, waving the long blade in her hand, somewhat like a miao dao, but both the hilt and blade had been adjusted, a revised version Shen Chengyi had made according to the two people's power habits, just to better suit them.

Shen Chengyi's eyes were cold and detached; Shen Chengyu, who had originally been able to speak, suddenly became speechless, after all, Shen Chengyi's terrifying nature needed no elaboration from Shen Chengyu; the fear engraved in her bones made Shen Chengyu obedient.

"Keep practicing; there are still two days, and we won't have it easy from now on."

Never pinning hopes on anyone to save herself, only self-rescue was the foundation of survival; the things Shen Chengyi had experienced made her understand the dangers of a chaotic world, Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning were her younger sisters, no matter what, Shen Chengyi would never harm them.

Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning were trained quite hard by Shen Chengyi, especially Shen Chengyu, who had never liked these things; it was just that, out of face and self-esteem, not wanting to fall behind her sisters at home, she persisted.

Although they now had a certain ability to protect themselves, Shen Chengyu was still more willing to lie flat and enjoy life.

Shen Yao just watched the three sisters frolic with one another; these past two days she hadn't been idle either, but actively dealt with her assets and connections.

Although they would stay in the development zone to live these past two days, some daily arrangements still needed to be made, such as exchanging the withdrawn money for gold, silver, and other items, which would be of great use later.

In the blink of an eye, it was the morning of two days later.

The originally clear sky was shrouded in a layer of green mist; this mist appeared quickly, and at the same time, disappeared just as quickly.

In less than half a day, not a trace could be seen anymore.

The news hot searches had exploded; all sorts of theories existed about the mist, and some even spread doomsday theories, causing everyone to panic; many timid ones had already started hoarding supplies, while the bold drove themselves to buy, online channels crashed directly due to the crowds, and offline supermarkets were packed, with people unable to move an inch.

Shen Chengyi and her two sisters were huddled together with Shen Yao, the four of them each scrolling on their own phones; because of the internet connection, the content wasn't limited to their city, but nationwide and even abroad, this green mist appeared at the same time.

"What exactly is this mist?" Shen Chengyu lay on her side on Shen Yao's shoulder, muttering the speculations she saw, "Some say it's a biochemical weapon, some say it's bacteria breeding, and some say it's a dye leak."

Shen Chengning pursed her lips, "Impossible; this great fog appeared globally, and combined with the space we got, it must be related to doomsday natural disasters."

Afraid her family wouldn't believe her, Shen Chengning cited the many novels she had read (mainly cramming at the last minute, all quickly swiped through these past few days), in which the protagonists with spaces were without exception living miserably.

Although there were plenty of plot holes inside, Shen Chengning felt the space wouldn't appear for no reason; surely something big had to happen for phenomena that science couldn't explain to appear.

Who knew if this green mist was a sign of the chaotic world beginning.

Didn't the Owner who gave them the space say that a chaotic world was coming, and the space was a means of self-protection? Although Shen Chengning doubted this Owner's goal, given the current situation, having a space brought more benefits than harms.

Shen Yao raised her hand and pointed to the window side, "See those few big-leaf trees? They've gotten thicker."

It wasn't a small change, but visibly growing larger to the naked eye.

Shen Chengyi got up and ran to the window side; sure enough, the few sparsely growing big-leaf trees outside the small courtyard had become tall and straight, not to mention the yellow leaves on them had turned much greener, just like they had been given nutrient agents and swelling agents, with very obvious effects.

Because their family had already hoarded enough daily necessities in advance, they didn't have to rush out and squeeze with others like everyone else, but this mist happened globally at the same time; they had no standard for where to run right now, so they could only stay here first and wait for the final decision.

On the night the mist disappeared, Shen Chengyi and her two sisters all ran high fevers; Shen Yao, reminded by the system, quickly took out backup medicine and simply didn't sleep all night to take care of the three sisters.

Shen Chengyi's three faces were red, their whole bodies like immovable volcanoes; Shen Yao looked up and touched the particularly hot forehead, then confirmed with the system that the three were safe, before not touching the pills in the space.

'Host, this is the awakening of extraordinary abilities; not just the three of them, most people inhaled the mist, and their bodies underwent changes.'

Global evolution, after all; although plants and animals were more favored, humans as creatures couldn't gain no benefits at all.

Shen Yao said nothing, but took out her phone; she first looked at the content on Moments, then opened the internet, watching the liveliness above.

All were people who had fainted and not woken up; some had symptoms like Shen Chengyi and the other two, some had more severe symptoms than them; hospitals were already operating beyond capacity, with countless people begging for medicine and breaking down.

Shen Yao raised her hand again to confirm the three's condition; seeing their body temperature stabilize, she then arranged the next things with the system.

System:...?

'Evolution; some people can survive it, some can't.

You first investigate the situation around us; we will definitely be able to use it in the future.'

This Yang City definitely couldn't be stayed in for long; the reason was simple, there was no army here, so establishing a safety zone or anything was unsuitable.

Thanks to the country's development, it was completely impossible for a mist to make order collapse; the greater probability was still survival of the fittest, with everyone banding together to take root.

Shen Yao naturally followed the country; what development could there be in fighting alone? Standing on the shoulders of giants could one go further.

Besides, given Shen Chengyi's identity, there was no harm in them choosing to seek refuge with the disciplined army.

The system was sent away by Shen Yao, while Shen Yao still stayed behind to take care of the three children.

The first to wake up was Shen Chengyi; after being in a coma for one night, she gradually regained consciousness; although her body still felt uncomfortable in places, after so many years of training, her body's foundation was stronger than others'.

Seeing her birth mother sitting by her bedside, with a cool pack just taken down placed beside her, Shen Chengyi said in a hoarse voice that she had no problem; as for Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning, they were younger than her, and might not be able to endure being sick.

Shen Yao patted Shen Chengyi's shoulder, then slowly helped her up, "They're fine; they've fallen asleep with steady breathing."

It was just that their waking time would be later than Shen Chengyi's; as for Shen Yao, she had no reaction at all; it wasn't that evolution had no effect on her, but the system cheat was too great, she simply didn't need to evolve.

After chatting with Shen Chengyi for a while, and confirming Shen Chengyi could slowly get up and move around, Shen Yao simply brought over the prepared light congee and side dishes.

Bowing her head and slowly drinking the family's congee, her originally burning stomach felt much more comfortable; Shen Yao then gave Shen Chengyi a few words of advice before leaving Shen Chengyi's room to see Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning.

These two children only woke up near midnight that night.

Unlike Shen Chengyi who woke up quite calmly, they cried and made a fuss; Shen Chengyu even hugged her shriveled belly demanding food.

There was still plenty of congee in the home kitchen; Shen Yao brought it over and delivered it to the two sisters; seeing them eat and drink their fill, she exhaled with a relaxed expression.

"A day and a night, so hungry?"

"I don't know what's going on, it's like I haven't eaten for three days, I could even eat my pillow."

"Right, right, there must be something wrong with my body."

Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning were young and couldn't hold back, chattering away as the topic grew deeper; if Shen Chengyi hadn't appeared in time, they might have scared themselves half to death.

Shen Chengyi:...

Shen Chengyi's appearance interrupted their imagination, but she also brought good news: those who had recovered from fever and were now awake had all seen a noticeable improvement in physical fitness.

Shen Chengyi was already strong, so her improvement was even more obvious; not only did she wield her weapon with great might, she could even easily lift the family's valuable items (which were truly expensive and heavy).

Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning:...

While both were shocked, they raised their hands to touch their thin arms and legs; after trying things out later, they had also made different progress, as if they had taken Great Power Pills, able to punch the sofa out of shape with one blow.

"Goodness, isn't this just a strongman?" Shen Chengyu touched her small fist, then excitedly said they were going to start slaughtering everyone left and right next.

"What are you thinking? There are certainly not a few cases like this; we'll just stay home and wait for notification from now on, the authorities will definitely handle it."

Shen Yao interrupted Shen Chengyu's wandering hero dream, then told them to sleep if they had nothing to do, and if they weren't sleepy, to check their phones for news from above.

The internet was a mess; there were quite a few cases like this of people changing after fever and waking up, and many had already posted all sorts of showing off; of course, even more were still in a coma, and hospitals were still overloaded searching.

Shen Yao hadn't gotten good rest taking care of the three children, so she took advantage of the time to hurry and catch up on sleep; when she woke up, she heard Shen Chengyu shouting loudly, saying the situation outside was changing too fast and monsters had already appeared.

Monsters?

What is that?

"Look, it's a little green man," Shen Chengyu raised her phone and held it up to Shen Yao.

Shen Yao took it and saw a rather shaky video appear on the screen; the video was taken in a residential area, where a person covered entirely in green tilted their head and walked forward unsteadily.

The person filming was probably hiding in a window corner, since all the footage was from the side; as the little green man moved forward, suddenly, the little green man abruptly looked toward the side of the video, with a hideous expression and a pair of eyes that had only whites, scaring the cameraman so much they didn't dare film outside anymore, and the video cut off.

Shen Chengyu touched her arm, obviously frightened by the little green man's image; it was simply more terrifying than aliens, how could such a thing exist.

Shen Chengyi and Shen Chengning also raised their phones one after another; the videos on them were all of little green men, only their movements were different; one video showed a little green man attacking a normal person, and in terms of speed and strength, such a little green man with obvious changes could be said to be an overwhelming existence; normal people could do nothing but wail and scream.

"Mom, it's so dangerous outside, things will get chaotic, right?"

Shen Chengning was fortunate that their family lived in the Development Zone, where there weren't many people around, and now it was quiet and peaceful.

Unlike several of her classmates, whose homes were in the prosperous areas of the city center; not to mention anything else, just being attacked by little green men had happened to quite a few, and she even had a classmate who had already met with misfortune.

"This kind of thing can't be avoided," evolution, after all, definitely has successes and failures; this kind of thing can only come down to one's own luck.

Shen Chengyi raised her hand and patted Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning's shoulders, then she stood up and walked a circle around the living room at home, after which she came to the window side and the doorway; the windows had already been drawn with curtains and had no gaps, but because there was sunlight outside, the light inside the home was still there.

Because the room door was locked from the inside, Shen Chengyi made some noise when she opened it.

Shen Chengyu and the others didn't know what Shen Chengyi was going to do; just as they were about to ask, they saw Shen Chengyi had already re-locked the room door from the inside.

"Mom, we need to wait for now; how many households are there in this Villa District?"

Shen Chengyi asked.

"Not many; many are vacant empty rooms; counting our family, it shouldn't exceed ten households," and this Villa District was distributed in a long strip shape; the families living here were all in corners and edges, so they would find it hard to run into each other in daily life.

"There are few people living here, and there aren't many places for daily consumption around; if we're lucky, this place will be safe," but if something happens at the same time, no one will be able to help.

The little green men in those videos were all monsters; no one could guarantee there weren't any in the Villa District; Shen Chengyi continued to return to the sofa to check her phone.

When the time came to the Afternoon, the internet became more and more chaotic, and finally an Announcement appeared on it.

The most important item among them was that those little green men were no longer considered human; Ordinary People encountering them should escape if they can, and if they can't escape, they should avoid being injured by them; it's best to counterattack and kill them, and killing them doesn't count as harming society.

In the Evening, Shen Chengyi discovered a little green man had appeared at their home's doorway.

Only one or two sporadically, their bodies swaying as they walked everywhere, as if searching for something.

The mother and four daughters rested for one night, only to find that the Large-leaf Trees outside had grown much taller, and the figures of the little green men had become even more agile.
