"I don't know the difference! My taste is very rare. It can drive away most wild beasts in this forest. I risked my life and followed a high-level mutant leopard for a whole day before digging it out from its buried treasure."
"What kind of treasure burying place? What kind of good things can cats bury? It's just... ugh~" Qu Xingchi seemed to have thought of something, and his face became even worse.
"So what?" Song Qiao disagreed.
Cheng Xiaohe looked at the sniper girl with a strange look on his face, and took a few steps back calmly after hearing this.
Qu Xingchi almost choked and vomited blood. He looked at Song Qiao and then at the others. Except for Cheng Xiao He, everyone looked at him with admiration.
——It’s over, how could I forget that all the women in our Qingmang team are not normal people.
"What are you thinking about? Can normal people live so long in the apocalypse? Can normal people be so powerful?"
A unique smell of tobacco hit him, and Qu Xingchi was slapped on the back of his head before he realized that he had accidentally spoken out what was on his mind.
"Sister Yaxiu, don't be angry. I'll just say it casually. The women in our team are all the best, especially the captain, who has a sharp and unique vision."
Qu Xingchi rubbed the back of his head and hurriedly smoothed things over, his desire to survive suddenly heightened.
"Captain Lin, please ask Song Qiao to come with me. Our captain needs to see him if he has something to do."
At this time, a young soldier trotted over, glanced at the sniper, and said to Lin Qingqing.
Meng Xiangyun is looking for Song Qiao? Did they finish sorting out the supplies so quickly? Are you going to start interrogating her now?
"Come on, I'll go with you."
Lin Qingqing asked the team members to rest where they were, and then followed Song Qiao to find Meng Xiangyun.
Although Song Qiao said before that she had retired from the army and was no longer under the jurisdiction of the army, Lin Qingqing felt that since she was going to be taken away, it would be better to say hello to Meng Xiangyun. At the very least, let Song Qiao explain clearly what happened before, so that Meng Xiangyun and the others can return to work.
The two came to the armory. Most of the supplies here had been packed, and there were ready-made trucks outside that could be pulled out at any time.
At this time, Meng Xiangyun was squatting at the door of a small storage room. This small storage room was filled with logistical supplies, including food, cans, emergency lights, protective clothing, and some emergency medicines.
"Major Meng." Lin Qingqing stepped forward to greet him.
"Captain Lin is here too. Xiao Song, come and see if you recognize this person." He stood up and moved away from his seat.
In the storage room of more than 80 square meters, various materials were neatly stacked on metal iron shelves. Only a few were thrown on the ground. In addition, there were many empty cans and packaging bags.
And just under one of the shelves, there was a corpse leaning against it.
The skin of this corpse was purple, the body was shriveled, the head was tilted to one side, a saber was stuck in the chest, and there was a black blood hole in the temple.
Lin Qingqing squinted her eyes and observed carefully. There was a pistol in the corpse's hand. It seemed that the man knew that he would not survive, so he shot himself in the head. Because the brain was damaged, the corpse transformation was only halfway through and was forced to terminate.
"I do know him. His name is Lin Haisheng, and he is the owner of the two mutated pythons outside."
"Owner?"
One sentence caused a stir. It turned out that the special power user that Song Qiao mentioned could summon beasts was him?
Since there are two such powerful mutant beasts, how could he die here? Who killed him?
"Don't look at me. I don't know how he died. I only know that he attracted a group of snakes, each as thick as a calf. Many people died in the mouths of those snakes. In the end, only Xue was seriously injured. The ensign escaped."
Song Qiao's voice was hoarse and his tone had no fluctuation.
Meng Xiangyun stared at her for a long time. Several things now matched what Song Qiao said, but more could not be verified.
They have searched here one by one, except for this quilt
They didn't find any of the other corpses locked in the storage room, whether they were human or snake corpses. I don’t know if they were all eaten by the mutated green and white pythons.
Except for Song Qiao, the only insider, everything here has become unconfirmed.
Thinking that the garrison that once guarded here, perhaps because of traitors or because of other reasons, disappeared in the end, Meng Xiangyun didn't know whether he felt melancholy or sad.
Seeing that Meng Xiangyun was looking for Song Qiao just to let her recognize him, Lin Qingqing casually told him that Song Qiao was going to go with them.
"Do you really want to go with Captain Lin and the others?"
Meng Xiangyun was stunned when he learned that Song Qiao and Lin Qingqing were going to the Ancheng base, and then he kept looking back and forth between the two of them with his eagle-like eyes.
"Well, I have retired before, and the last mission assigned to me by Second Lieutenant Xue has been completed."
"Then you can come back to the Xiangcheng base with us. Now is the time for the army to employ people. Even retired soldiers can be recalled at any time. And as a member of the original Sixth Special Forces Team, you should also know your value. "
Meng Xiangyun obviously didn't want to let Song Qiao leave. Snipers like her were really rare, especially those trained by "War Blade". I'm afraid there are not many such talents in the entire country of China.
"Not for the time being," Song Qiao said after a long time, "I promised my comrade that I would bring a message home for him."
Hearing such words, Meng Xiangyun didn't know what to say for a moment. He couldn't help but glared at Lin Qingqing secretly: Captain Lin started too quickly, but in the blink of an eye, he actually fell from under his nose. Such a good seedling was poached.
——You, Captain Lin, are poaching me in front of me?
——Wherever, strike first to gain the upper hand, strike later to meet the enemy. Of course, this is thanks to the Anseong Base.
Sensing Meng Xiangyun's unkind gaze, Lin Qingqing, instead of feeling embarrassed, winked at him kindly: Surviving in the apocalypse means forcing people to grab resources. She was not embarrassed at all.
And who made Song Qiao choose Ancheng between the two bases? This is also a matter of luck.
Meng Xiangyun tried his best, but in the end he still couldn't keep Song Qiao and could only watch them leave with regret on his face.
At night, Lin Qingqing and Meng Xiangyun agreed to let everyone have a good night's rest in the barracks area outside, and then set off separately early tomorrow morning.
The aura of the two giant pythons still lingered here, it was very safe, and Qu Xingchi had already explored it in advance, and just like in the munitions depot, there was not a single corpse.
At night, everyone in the Qingmang team sat around the campfire, discussing in low voices what happened during the day.
"I've looked everywhere, and there are a lot of traces of the pythons' movements here. It seems that these disappearing zombies and corpses are probably related to those two pythons."
"Can mutated animals eat zombies?"
Lei Min obviously didn't believe it. Starting with the mutant cat in the Wetland Park, they had encountered many mutant animals along the way, but they had never seen them using zombies as food. Otherwise, the largest number of animals would not be in the mountains, but in the city center.
"According to the habits of ordinary wild animals, snakes do not eat carrion." Cheng Xiaohe pushed up his glasses and said, because some snakes are poisonous, they have also used them as research subjects for a period of time.
"Then how do you explain the whereabouts of these zombies? They can't just go away on their own." Qu Xingchi said in confusion.
"Actually, I think there is another possibility." Lin Qingqing, who had not spoken at this time, suddenly said.
"Animals are territorial. Since these two mutated pythons regard this place as their nest, they will definitely not allow other living creatures to exist."
"You mean the python took these zombies away?" Yin Yaxiu said thoughtfully.
This is the greatest possibility. It is the instinct of animals to ensure the safety and cleanliness of their own nests. Zombies are no longer living creatures, and most animals will not use them as food.
"By the way, talking about the mutated python, I discovered it this afternoon when I was dealing with the white python's body.
Found something interesting. Yin Yaxiu held her pipe in her mouth and expressed her doubts.
"Horns? Do you think those two protrusions on the white python's head are really horns?"
At that time, Lin Qingqing and Lei Min used ice chains to climb onto the white python's head in order to kill it. At that time, they thought the two protrusions were snake scales or skulls, but they did not expect that they were actually snake scales or skulls. horn.
"I'm somewhat sure, because the material of the horn is obviously different from the bones and scales."
"If a snake has horns on its head, doesn't it make it into a dragon? Are all those legends true?" Lei Min's face was full of disbelief.
"It's still far from a dragon. It's just a dragon at most." Yin Yaxian looked like she accepted it well.
"Can a snake really turn into a dragon? Why does it sound so fantasy?" Qu Xingchi rubbed his head, feeling that his thinking was a bit out of step.
"It's really not necessarily true. Both humans and zombies are evolving, not to mention mutant beasts. Maybe there is a genetic mutation, and some animals may have atavism during the evolution process. This kind of situation will happen occasionally in normal times, and even more so. Don’t call it the end of the world.”
The second person to accept this was Cheng Xiaohe. He was right. In the end of the world, humans and zombies have evolved. It would be abnormal for animals not to evolve.
If this situation really exists, let alone a dragon, maybe there will be dragons and phoenixes in the future.
Everyone is downstairs in the barracks, still digesting the news.
At this moment, there was a "squeak" sound, and the door behind him was opened, and Song Qiao walked out holding a sniper rifle.
She was wearing a brand new camouflage uniform, which was slightly too big. The sleeves were rolled up high, revealing two white arms. Water was dripping from the tips of her hair, exuding the aroma of lemon-scented shower gel.
"Come here and sit down." Lin Qingqing waved to her, and the circle of six people opened up. Adding Song Qiao, there were exactly seven people.
After taking a shower, Song Qiao finally revealed her true face. She had a cute baby face, single eyelids, dark eyes, and a small mole on her chin. Her lips were pressed tightly together all year round, making her look a bit serious. .
Her hair is slightly curly, and the ends of her hair are playfully standing up. She doesn't look fierce at all, but rather cute and cute.
If it weren't for the sniper rifle in his hand, no one would have thought that this quiet girl like the sister next door would be a feared sniper in "War Blade".
