The dead cockroach caused a heated discussion among the shelter.
Perhaps it was because it had been peaceful here for too long, and everyone rarely saw bugs, so they started chatting about this issue.
Zhou Keer asked: "Where did it come from? I remember that there are no cockroaches in the shelter. It can't fall from the sky, right?"
Liang Yue touched his chin and analyzed seriously: "Maybe it was hiding in the house before. You know, this kind of thing is everywhere in the south. It is very tenacious and difficult to kill."
At this moment, Aunt Zhou Haimei said worriedly:
"There is a saying that when you find one cockroach in the room, there must be a thousand cockroaches in the dark!"
The expressions of several women suddenly changed.
They get goosebumps all over when they think that there are so many such creatures existing in the shadow corners that they don't notice, and they still live with them day and night.
At this time, Yang Xinxin came to the living room from behind in an electric wheelchair.
Although her legs have returned to normal, the shelter is too big and her weak legs will hurt if she walks for a while.
There was nothing she could do about it. Although her legs were healed, she still preferred to use machines to move around after not exercising for many years.
Yang Xinxin had a computer in front of her and was concentrating on processing some data.
After listening to the conversation of several people, she replied slowly: "It can't exist. The smart system of this house can monitor all corners, and naturally it also has an anti-insect system."
"Maybe whoever brought this bug in accidentally brought it in!"
"I have just changed the system's code and included cockroaches in the cleanup list. As long as the system finds them, they will be removed, so there is no need to make a fuss."
These words made several people look at each other.
"Coming in from outside?"
The temperature outside fluctuates around minus 60 degrees all year round, and basically not many normal creatures can survive in this environment.
Cockroaches, such hateful and disgusting insects, can they really survive to this day?
"Probably a mutant."
Yang Xinxin said calmly: "Cockroaches have a very strong ability to adapt to the environment, and their reproduction ability even exceeds that of mice. Therefore, it is not surprising that mutants are produced."
She paused and then said: "And due to the large population, if sufficient food is obtained, a large number of mutants will even appear."
Zhou Keer frowned, and then she mustered up the courage to reach out and pick up the garbage bag containing the cockroaches.
"Then I have to bring it back and study it carefully!"
Everyone nodded, thinking that Zhou Keer's approach was more cautious.
However, no one took this matter particularly seriously.
After all, they have witnessed too many changes now, and Zhang Yi's strength has also increased to the Ypsilon level.
They are just annoying bugs and will not have much impact on their lives.
…
Tianhai City, Xishan District.
This was once one of the most populous places in Tianhai City.
The most powerful refuge after the end of the world was also born, the Xishan Base.
However, since it was completely destroyed by Zhang Yi, it quickly became deserted.
The huge base has long been buried by thick ice and snow, and people can't find the dusty entrance from the mountain of Xishan.
However, a dead zone does not mean that life is cut off.
Just hundreds of meters deep underground, the vigorous life force is constantly surging at this time, and dense black ghosts are climbing rustlingly in the deserted corridors, covered with broken walls and ruins.
Among the ruins, there were clean and chewed bones everywhere.
These cockroaches are covered in a brown oily sheen and are many times larger than ordinary cockroaches.
Even in the corner, crouched a cockroach with an even more terrifying size, with a terrifying size of tens or even hundreds of centimeters!
They are born with an appearance that makes humans sick, and now that they are huge, they are even more terrifying.
"Plop!" "Plop!"
In the shadows, several corpses were thrown among the cockroaches that were so dense that it made one's scalp numb.
"Wow!"
In less than a second, the entire ruins went crazy, with a huge black wave emerging. Countless cockroaches surrounded them and quickly gnawed at the corpses.
"Buzz-"
Several huge cockroaches flew directly over, quickly occupied the best position, then opened their ferocious mouthparts and began to feast.
"Kacha kacha——"
They are a race that naturally pursues food. They will eat anything that allows them to survive.
Including their own kind.
Large cockroaches cannot eat carrion, so they start to eat the smaller cockroaches around them. The baby cockroaches start eating smaller cockroaches.
At this moment, the entire cockroach swarm suddenly became restless.
From the deep shadows, a huge and terrifying monster slowly crawled out - a mutated cockroach that was over two meters in size!
Its eyes exuded a strange light, and it casually crossed over the huge wave of cockroaches, then pounced on it, biting off the head of a one-meter-long cockroach, and the yellow-green juice spurted out wildly.
Other cockroaches ignore the danger and gnaw on everything they can.
Soon, the corpses were devoured, and then the cockroach swarm, still unsatisfied, began to kill each other.
In the shadows, a man showed a cold smile.
"Yes, that's it! Let's eat each other and kill!"
"Only in this way can the most powerful Gu insect be raised!"
"Ah~ the Gu worm raised by the mutated cockroach, this must be the most interesting Gu ever!"
"Zhang Yi, hehehe, just wait for me! I will definitely give you a huge surprise in return for everything you have done!"
…
Zhang Yi and Fatty Xu returned from Blizzard City.
He gave the weapon technology obtained from Blizzard City to Lu Keran and asked her to help Zhang Yi re-create Lei Xiao and Bai Xiao.
Lu Keran, a mechanical enthusiast, was so excited when he saw these world's top weapon technologies that he even stopped eating and ran into the studio to start researching.
Zhang Yi gave the genetic medicine to Zhou Keer again.
"Ke'er, please study these drugs carefully. Currently, Blizzard City's method of improving the strength of aliens mainly relies on drugs."
"But they can use it, but we have to be careful. After all, they can ignore the health of their men and even shorten their lifespan to gain strength, but we don't have this need."
Zhang Yi will not easily use these technologies on his family members unless their stability is confirmed.
Zhou Keer nodded: "I will study it carefully! But it will take some time."
Zhang Yi smiled and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter."
Zhou Keer said: "There is one more thing I want to tell you. A mutated cockroach was found in the shelter today."
