15: Chapter 15: One Month Later, Crisis

One month passed quickly. For the Human Race, it was a month of great changes.

First, the Human Race finally learned the skill of communicating through drawing. A few little ones could even make some sounds that surprised the Strong One, though their meaning was unknown, it still sent the Human Race into a daily frenzy of celebration.

It was clear that this was a race born to be foolishly happy.

Secondly, another 20 humans came to this tribe, drawn by the mysterious call of their Bloodline.

The significant population increase meant the small cave could no longer accommodate them.

The Strong One led everyone to build many small wooden houses, neatly arranged in front of the cave, possessing a sense of orderly beauty.

Additionally, because the Strong One and the Flying Flood Dragon were away, a giant centipede broke into the village and ate two human children.

The Strong One ordered the construction of a massive structure called a "wall" to enclose the village, leaving only a hole called a "gate", which gave the entire Human Race a sense of security.

Overall, the changes were truly immense; within the Human Race's meager vocabulary, there was no way to describe so many changes.

"Cong!"

A thin human child ran over, shouting his companion's name. He arrived in front of a child with a slightly large head, squatted on the ground, and began to draw.

He first drew an eye, made a looking gesture, then drew a few small circles piled in the sand, before finally looking up at his companion.

The companion clearly understood his meaning; such drawings were now very easy to understand after a month of learning.

He grabbed the thin child, and they ran over together.

The sun was a bit harsh, and most of the adults had already gone out hunting.

There were only a few scattered children and the remaining warriors in the village. The two children wove between the wooden houses and quickly arrived in front of the cave.

At the cave entrance, several human women were busy; they were specifically tasked with caring for the eggs.

Near the cave entrance was a sandy area, which was where the Human Race laid their eggs.

Because the Human Race's life had been so good under Zhao Feng's care this month, the sufficient nutrition caused the Human Race to enter a mating period, and they would soon lay eggs.

Of course, the eggs currently on the sand were laid three months ago, and it was now time for them to hatch.

The two human children had come by appointment to watch the hatching.

Human eggs were very small, only about the size of a duck egg, and oval-shaped.

These eggs had various colored patterns, looking chaotic yet orderly. Overall, blue, earthy yellow, and green were the most common.

Evolutionary Spirits were almost everywhere, and because of Zhao Feng's design, they preferred to be with living things.

The patterns on these eggs were a manifestation of the Evolutionary Spirits' habitat.

Because there were many Earth, Water, and Wood type Evolutionary Spirits near this cave, it resulted in the current appearance.

The work of the human women was to place the newborn human infants into clean water, letting them wash away the Impurities themselves.

Additionally, they also needed to drive away the carnivorous fish in the water pool; after all, the newborns were only the size of small ducklings and really had no combat power.

The two companions nervously watched the twenty-plus eggs in front of them, watching some already have cracks under the banging, and watching new life wanting to crawl out from under the gradually breaking eggshells.

Some eggshells seemed too hard, and the newborns were unable to crawl out at all, dying under the regretful gazes of the human women.

But more newborns broke the eggshells and arrived in the new world. Driven by instinct, they ate the eggshells and then ran around everywhere.

Several women smilingly caught the little infants and placed them in the enclosed water pool, letting them swim on their own.

The instinct from reptiles made them natural swimmers. A group of infants made various happy sounds, drilling back and forth in the water, very happily.

The twenty-plus eggs eventually hatched 19 infants; the survival rate seemed quite good. New life made the whole village more active, but also brought new trouble.

There was still no clue about completing the mission. Could it be that the Human Race, who had learned characters and simple vocabulary, were still not intelligent life?

Although Zhao Feng was immersed in the happiness of social interaction, he couldn't help but feel anxious.

With the population increase, some problems gradually emerged.

Currently, the village had a total of 81 people, including newborns, consisting of 50 adults, 12 children, and 19 infants.

According to System statistics, the theoretical lifespan of the Human Race reached 300 years, but they reached physical maturity by age 3.

In the next few years, 50 adults would need to support 31 minors, which was a lot of pressure.

The Human Race was not a powerful race; their physical abilities were only in the lower-middle level among the vast population of primitive life.

If not for Zhao Feng's protection, it was clear they could not survive easily.

Although they could hunt wild beasts through cooperation, hunting was undoubtedly the most dangerous way to obtain food, and the Human Race could not afford too many combat casualties.

Zhao Feng could not protect the Human Race forever. The growth of a civilization inevitably required experiencing storms, and once the opportunity was ripe, Zhao Feng would leave.

Before that, at least a method to guarantee the Human Race's survival needed to be left behind. Besides hunting, the only way to obtain food was gathering.

Undoubtedly, a large part of the foundation of the great Chinese civilization absolutely lay in agriculture. Agriculture could obtain stable and abundant food.

The current savage planet certainly wouldn't have rice, wheat, or anything like that, but don't forget Zhao Feng's identity as a Creator. Then, he just needed to create some.

"System!"

Zhao Feng murmured in his heart, and the System panel appeared in his mind.

Host: Zhao Feng

Divine Weapon: Spirit Blade Slash

Owned Planet: Taichu Star (Qi) (Grade D) (planet tree: None)

Special Attributes: Life Sharing (Host's life is connected to the planet and planet life; as long as the planet does not die, the host is immortal.)

Special Creations: Rock-Eating Bacteria, Energy-Eating Bacteria, Balloon Algae, Evolutionary Spirit, Thunder Flying Flood Dragon, Human Race.

Since he wanted to construct a crop suitable for the Human Race, he had to consider the current situation of the Human Race.

The Human Race was currently still savage; requiring them to farm was very difficult, and a "once and for all" solution was needed, so annual herbs were temporarily not considered. Currently, fruit trees were the best choice.

Fruit trees had a long growth cycle, but that was not a problem for Zhao Feng.

General fruit trees had strong seasonal characteristics, such as only bearing fruit in summer; this needed to be solved by synthesis. Additionally, the fruit must be able to store starch...

Light shone, and two light clusters gradually took shape in Zhao Feng's hands.

Massive Root System: This was an ability that promoted plants to have very massive root Systems, which could promote the plant to grow huge root Systems to meet the plant's needs. Value: 50 Modification Points.

Four-Season Fruiting: This was an ability that promoted plants to bear fruit in all four seasons, allowing the plant to bear delicious fruit at any time. Value: 100 Modification Points.

Next, he just needed to choose a suitable plant to load the skills. After searching in the System for who knows how long, Zhao Feng finally found a suitable plant.

At this time, the development of plants on Taichu Star had evolved from the initial algae to the current gymnosperms, having experienced naked ferns and ferns.

After the naked ferns declined, ferns also began to decline. Lycopsids, sphenopsids, true ferns, and seed ferns replaced them.

By now, gymnosperms had risen; they had evolved pollen tubes, completely freeing themselves from dependence on water, and began to form today's dense forests.

And the super plant Zhao Feng wanted to synthesize was an angiosperm that would only appear in the future.

To synthesize an angiosperm that had never appeared before, it was better to choose a plant closest to an angiosperm.

Therefore, Zhao Feng chose the Golden Fir.

The Golden Fir was a huge green plant, fifteen meters high, with a trunk radius of about two meters, bearing a huge umbrella canopy, named for its golden-yellow leaf edges.

"Please name your modified organism. This will cost 250 Modification Points."

"Four-Seasons Fruit Fir."

Four-Seasons Fruit Fir: A new plant of the Giant Insect Age. A super organism derived from the Golden Fir. Strong adaptability, medium metabolic rate, strong reproductive ability, possesses skills: Massive Root System, Four-Season Fruiting. Note: This is a pioneering super organism.

Next, put this plant into the planet.

With a flicker of thought, countless points of light fell from the sky, sprinkling across the globe.

A portion of the Golden Fir's seed genetic material began to change, and subsequently, Four-Seasons Fruit Firs would grow.

The savage Taichu Star had a warm and humid climate, without distinct four seasons.

The Four-Seasons Fruit Fir had a lifespan of thousands of years, and it would take hundreds of years to grow. Zhao Feng couldn't wait, and the Human Race couldn't wait even more.

Therefore, he still needed to find the Four-Seasons Fruit Fir and bring it back to use time acceleration. Of course, this would be after Zhao Feng had arranged everything; now was not the best time.

Long-term considerations were settled, but the immediate food crisis had not yet been solved.

The Human Race were omnivores; they could eat plant leaves or whatever if there was no meat to eat. Anyway, natural toxins hadn't evolved yet, so there was no situation of poisoning from eating leaves.

But for a race, having a single food source was very dangerous, so Zhao Feng had to teach them to fish.

The cave where the Human Race lived had a water pool. Zhao Feng previously thought it was groundwater, but later discovered it was because there was a large lake about two kilometers away from this cave, and the two seemed to be connected by an underground passage.

Of course, fishing in the water pool was not very practical because there were very few aquatic animals in the pool.

Zhao Feng found a plant called Snake Tongue in the System. This plant had strong toughness and could be used to weave nets, and according to System observation, there were many nearby.

It seemed today's educational content needed one more item: net weaving.
