"Good news, now you don't have to worry about manpower problems!" Qi Rui just received an invitation from Chen Zhengqing, and the joy on his face finally returned when he came back.
Ashin, who was sitting in the co-pilot, asked naturally, and Qi Rui didn't hide anything: "Originally, we came to the base to relocate everyone. The place where Uncle Chen and I went was a warship port, and Old Man Xue was the commander there. Officer, but this person is unreasonable and unwilling to leave."
"Uncle Chen and I talked to each other to no avail. He insisted on living and dying with the fleet, but just now, the old man changed his mind. With his navy of tens of thousands, it is definitely enough."
Qi Rui kept talking, and Ashin didn't interrupt. After he finished speaking, he slowly spoke: "There are too many people this time. I have never seen so many people moved away at once. I am afraid that when the time comes, It’s not a small thing to get into trouble.”
"Hey, I understand, but it's a pity that I can't help it. Sit down and it's time to set off." Qi Rui was a little distressed. Hundreds of thousands of people followed the route set by Qi Rui.
At first, there was not much danger. There were only hundreds of zombies. In front of so many evolvers in the base, it was not enough to see. This relaxed atmosphere continued until the second city.
People lined up in huge queues and shuttled through various rural villages. There were too many zombies in the city, but these environments close to the outdoors were even more dangerous.
When Qi Rui and the others were passing by the Environmental Impact Assessment County, Chen Zhengqing stopped the marching team and asked others to be on alert. He also called Qi Rui for discussion.
"Have you ever seen such symptoms of death?" Chen Zhengqing looked solemn. The person in front of him was dead. He was an ordinary person in the team. He seemed to have disappeared when he went to the toilet in a nearby bush. If it hadn't been for a son who said he couldn't find his father , it may not attract the attention of others at all.
Before leaving, Qi Rui told everyone to report any missing persons, because this might be caused by the mutated creatures along the road.
Zombies don't hide, they will attack without hesitation no matter how many people there are.
Qi Rui looked at the corpse in front of him. He seemed to have been dead for a long time, with only a human skeleton stained with foul-smelling mucus, which looked a bit scary.
The crying little boy on the side was holding a worn-out watch in his hand. This was taken from his father's wrist and had been completely corroded.
Ashin stared blankly at the boy. At this moment, the boy who lost his father stood alone and looked even thinner.
As for what to do with the boy, Qi Rui was too lazy to worry about it. Surprisingly, Ashin took over the child and planned to adopt the child.
There is absolutely no problem for an evolutionist to raise a little kid who is only 7 years old, and Qi Rui also acquiesces to the boy.
"Uncle Chen, ask everyone to remember the faces of the people around them. If they disappear, report them immediately." Qi Rui knew that this migration could not be stopped, and they had to find a good hiding place before night. land, otherwise it will be very difficult.
Chen Zhengqing nodded and immediately informed everyone that with his authority, many people had done it and implemented it, and it received a good response.
However, there are some people who are too lazy to do it. They do not want to participate in this migration. If the vast majority of people had not left and took away all weapons and other supplies, ordinary people like them would not be able to hold on and would have to go with the flow.
As night fell, nearly 300,000 people crowded together in a medium-sized power station, silently all night.
In the morning, the fog was lingering, and everyone was in a state of low energy. Ashin dozed off and ate breakfast in a hurry. Qi Rui was called away by Chen Zhengqing again.
More than a dozen people are missing, and the situation is urgent. This inexplicable sense of fear makes everyone depressed. The unknown is the most terrifying thing, and they don't want to die in an unknown situation.
"The reason why everyone disappeared was to stay away from the group. It seems that the creature encountered this time should be moving alone. It is probably to avoid alerting the snake." Qi Rui analyzed step by step.
Traces of corpses were also found among the people who disappeared this time. They were still in the same miserable shape with only human bones left. There were even a few broken bones squeezed together. It was obvious that the monster had swallowed them together.
"It can eat so many people at once. It has a large appetite, but it cannot digest bones. This kind of creature can eliminate most predators." Xue Wenrui walked slowly over at this moment and said.
"Yes, indeed." Tang Cailiang nodded, and immediately told people to take more precautions, and it was best to go to the toilet in groups. So far, only 8 people have been able to find the corpses, and several others are still missing.
People who disappear in the apocalypse are basically considered dead.
"It chose to attack a group of people who were alone. At first, I thought it was doing it very covertly, but its whereabouts have already been discovered by us. Therefore, this creature is not very intelligent. To be able to carry out such a strange attack, it must either be very fast or He is a master of disguise." Qi Rui thought for a long time and decided to take action personally. Everyone else agreed. After all, his original mission was to protect the base.
Every time something happened, he was basically at the back of the team, and Qi Rui simply followed him in the back row.
The people attacked each time were ordinary people, and the number was getting larger and larger. More than a dozen people died in two days. From the beginning of the trial, it was done unscrupulously, which also shows that the intelligence of this mutated creature is not high.
Qi Rui was walking alone in the bushes not far from the team. Under the fermentation of the tropical environment, various types of insects have become huge in number. This group is not only difficult to detect, but also difficult to counterattack.
There are many mutated insects, but even if their genes are unlocked, they would not dare to provoke humanoid creatures dozens of times larger than them. However, once a single creature appears next to them, they will attack without hesitation.
At present, a black tide gathered under the fallen leaves, surrounding Qi Rui's feet. There were not many of them. They had slender bodies, a row of black front jaws on the front, a long abdomen, and wings on their backs. The largest one is only about ten centimeters.
Just like an enlarged ant, it looks harmless to humans and animals, but in fact, it immediately attacks Qi Rui when he finds out that he is alone.
As soon as Qi Rui's black suit opened, he stopped their crazy biting, and when he saw that there was nothing he could do, he decided to retreat. Of course Qi Rui would not let them go. These mutated insects were very weak, but once they grew up, they would be a nightmare for all living things.
This is a type of silk ant. There are only 12 species distributed in country Z, and there are only more than 350 species in the world. The number is rare.
They look like ants, but they belong to the class Insecta and are very different from ordinary ants. Their most distinctive feature is that they weave webs to build nests and like to eat plants. However, after being strengthened by the virus, they have become fond of meat.
Qi Rui looked at the largest leader among the swarm and killed him with one blow. There was not even a demon gem in his body, which really made him a little disappointed.
Seeing that the strongest leader was dead and the other byssus ants dispersed one after another, Qi Rui didn't bother to chase them. After all, they were too small and it would be really troublesome to deal with them one by one.
After walking for a while, Qi Rui felt his feet were empty, and suddenly a large circular hole appeared under his feet, bottomless.
After Qi Rui subconsciously put the black armor on his body, he felt his surroundings suddenly shrink. This powerful squeeze made him feel very uncomfortable. At the same time, he felt countless mucus wrapping his whole body in his brain.
"Finally here!" Qi Rui murmured. The creature that attacked more than a dozen people originally lived underground. It was not fast, but it was better at being stealthy.
The powerful acid began to corrode Qi Rui, with little effect.
Qi Rui tested his black suit and found that it contained a large number of blood cells, zombie viruses, titanium molecules, and a type of biological cell that he had never seen before.
He said nothing about this matter and did not disclose it to anyone, but there was no doubt that his suit could withstand corrosion.
Qi Rui also began to use his strength. No matter who this mutant creature was, he was not afraid. A short sword appeared in his hand and stabbed directly in front of him.
Just hearing a neighing sound, Qi Rui felt the earth shake. The squeezing around him became much looser. It was obvious that he was in the belly of a ground-dwelling creature.
He was stabbed by Qi Rui's weapon just now, so he definitely wanted to spit him out, but now that he was in, how could he let go of such a good opportunity!
According to Qi Rui's idea, the black suit retracted its weapon, and then spikes sprouted from all over his body, like a human-shaped sea urchin, which was firmly stuck in the monster's belly, with no intention of getting out.
The easiest way to deal with mutated creatures is to make a fuss inside their bodies. Of course, most creatures will not eat them alive directly, but choose to kill them before eating them.
This is enough to show that this mutated creature is not very intelligent. After going back and forth like this, Qi Rui finally walked out, looking at the foul-smelling mucus on his body with a look of disgust.
Chen Zhengqing and the others had already discovered that Qi Rui was missing, so they slowed down a bit.
When Qi Rui came out to take a look, he realized what kind of creature was causing trouble. It turned out to be a mutated earthworm. It was over 8 meters long, as big as a small tank, and could almost swallow three adults.
Earthworms are originally omnivorous organisms. In addition to indigestible foods such as glass and plastic, they will also eat soil to obtain minerals.
You need to know how small the earthworms were before the end of the world, maybe not as long as a child's hand, and this is enough to show that its genetic level is very high from its size.
However, after having fought fiercely with Qi Rui for dozens of minutes, it was now exhausted and had no ability to resist. It squirmed from time to time, but did not make any big movements.
For this reason, Chen Zhengqing also gave it the name Earthworm King and entered it in the illustrated book.
During the movement of all biological groups, when encountering the death of their companions, they will send out messages, become highly nervous and speed up.
But human beings are quite the opposite. When encountering danger, they don't think about escaping, but they want to find out the poisonous fangs in the dark and get rid of them completely. This gives the Earthworm King an illusion.
Because of this, the crowd did not flee in panic. Instead, they slowed down, remained alert, and waited for the appearance of this giant beast.
Now that he knew about the Earthworm King, his recovery ability must be amazing. Qi Rui didn't give it a chance, took out the Demon Gem, and quickly returned to the team.
