Lin Dong saw with his own eyes the process of fungus transforming into human form and found it very magical.
He has little knowledge and doesn't know what the principle is, but he has heard of an 'enzyme' that can achieve a bionic state by reducing its own metabolism. People call it - 'base mimic enzyme'.
After the woman took shape, her expression was dull and her eyes were empty. She took steps and walked away step by step.
Lin Dong guessed that she would definitely look for a new carrier.
Most likely the dead woman's companions.
There are other human beings in this mountain forest...
So Lin Dong kept up with her.
After walking for about ten minutes, we were out of the fungus area, and the mountain forest returned to normal. Although it was still dark, the sound of night insects could be faintly heard in the grass or on the treetops.
There are even mutated spiders as big as fists, weaving huge webs among the branches.
Lin Dong sniffed lightly and soon smelled human scent.
Not far ahead, there is a big tree with three people hugging each other, but it has withered and weeds are piled around it. There are obviously signs of man-made damage.
The woman's footsteps were walking towards the big tree.
There is a tree hole hidden under the thick weeds, and three young people are living in it. Because the space is small, dark and damp, it makes people feel depressed.
The three of them were huddled together and could hear each other breathing.
There was a man in tattered clothes with a stubble on his face, holding up his mobile phone, looking left and right.
"The signal is so poor that I can't connect to Tektronix's network at all."
"I'll probably be able to connect if I walk to the edge of the forest tomorrow. You'd better stop doing it now and save some electricity."
Someone next to me advised.
Because charging is not easy in the mountains and forests, it relies entirely on solar cells.
"Um..."
The bearded man nodded, with a hint of yearning in his eyes, "I don't know what's going on outside, but if Tektronix really eliminates the zombies in the city, then life will be much better!"
"That's right, when the time comes we join Tektronix and we won't have to worry about food or clothing."
Another young man said with itch.
I feel like I can't stay in this valley for a whole day.
But the other young man didn't look expectant. Instead, he frowned with a bit of annoyance.
"Xiaoyan hasn't come back all afternoon, do you still have the intention to talk about this?"
"What? If you don't come back, you'll be dead."
The bearded man didn't care.
In this apocalypse, it is normal for someone to die. The girl has been missing for so long, so she is probably cold.
The young man was furious when he heard this and grabbed the stubbled man by his collar.
"Shut up for me! Believe it or not, I will tear your mouth apart!"
"Okay, okay...Brother Ning, we can't have internal strife. We have to unite and wait until dawn tomorrow to find Sister Yan together."
The other person saw this and quickly smoothed things over.
Although the bearded man was disdainful, he turned away and stopped arguing with Ning Chuan.
Ning Chuan gritted his teeth, silently let go of his hand, and leaned back against the tree wall again, his eyes becoming even more sad.
It was obvious that he had an unusual relationship with Xiaoyan, and he was particularly concerned about her and had some admiration for her.
The two met while fleeing from the doomsday.
For several months, they always depended on each other. Once, Ning Chuan was injured in his leg. The smell of blood attracted mutant beasts. The other companions all ran away, but Xiao Yan stayed and saved his life.
And in the following days, she never left him and took good care of him.
"Xiaoyan is a good girl..."
Ning Chuan felt that she was different from other people's selfishness. Even in the apocalypse, she still maintained a kind heart.
Whenever I think of this, I have the urge to go out and find her.
But walking in the mountains and forests at night is almost like dying.
But at this moment.
Outside the tree hole, there was suddenly a rustling sound, as if someone was walking and stepping on the weeds.
"who?"
The bearded man was alert, like a frightened rabbit, and he sat up instantly.
"Xiaoyan, it's Xiaoyan, she must be back!"
Ning Chuan felt energetic, his eyes were bright, he got up and was about to run out.
"Wait, are you crazy?"
The bearded man grabbed him and said, "How could it be Xiaoyan in the middle of the night?"
"If you let me go, who else can you do besides Xiaoyan?"
Ning Chuan ignored the obstruction, broke away from him, and climbed directly out of the tree hole.
The bearded man frowned.
I couldn't help but secretly curse, the love brain is so terrible!
But at this point, the two of them had no choice but to go out with him and see what was going on.
The three climbed out of the tree hole.
As he stared, the moonlight filtered through the branches and leaves, and the shadows of the trees were dancing. There was indeed a woman standing not far away.
"Xiaoyan, you are finally back!"
Ning Chuan's eyebrows stretched, and the previous worries were swept away. He quickly walked forward and greeted the woman happily.
But the bearded man and the other man looked at each other in astonishment, with disbelief on their faces.
Is it really her?
This is impossible, right?
The two of them looked wary and deliberately kept a distance from the woman.
Ning Chuan said.
"Where have you been this afternoon? Do you know how worried I am about you?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Xiaoyan narrowed her eyes and smiled, but the corners of her mouth stretched to the apples of her cheeks. The height was completely symmetrical, and she looked stiff and scary.
"hiss....."
The bearded man took a deep breath, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong.
The people next to me also felt weird.
"Brother Ning, Sister Yan... seems to be different from before."
"What's different? Don't make a fuss."
Ning Chuan didn't care at all.
Xiaoyan glanced around and saw that the two of them were hiding so far away, so she slowly spoke.
"What's wrong with you? I picked a lot of mushrooms in the woods this afternoon, so I was delayed for a while."
"Forehead...."
The bearded man looked startled and found that she seemed to be back to normal again.
Was that an illusion just now?
Immediately, Xiaoyan lowered her head and took out a few pieces of white mushrooms from her pocket. They looked fresh, tender and plump, and very delicious.
"Here! Eat it quickly, it will be stale after a while."
'Gudong! '
The stubbled man's Adam's apple twitched slightly and he swallowed. He had been hungry for a long time and really needed food.
But... is this really edible?
He didn't move, but looked at Ning Chuan, thinking that this guy would definitely eat it, and wait until he finished eating to see if there was any reaction.
Sure enough, Ning Chuan did not hesitate, picked up a piece of mushroom and stuffed it into his mouth, with a satisfied look on his face and a smile.
"It's so delicious, Xiaoyan. It's amazing that you can find so many normal mushrooms."
"It's just good luck."
Xiaoyan pursed her lips and smiled, then raised her eyes to look at the two men with stubble, "What are you two waiting for? Why don't you come over and eat."
But the bearded man stood there, still looking hesitant. He looked at Ning Chuan and saw that nothing happened to him.
Look again at the mushroom in the woman’s hand.
It's just an ordinary flat mushroom. Before the end of the world, it was often eaten in hot pot, with butter base. It's spicy and spicy, and it's very sour and refreshing after one bite.
The bearded man began to secrete a large amount of saliva, and the more he thought about it, the hungrier he became...
