Bai Zhi has seen more than one similar creature, in Ka's base and in those big fish tanks.
The mermaids in the big fish tank are all artificially modified, and this one is probably the same, otherwise the mermaids wouldn't be so similar.
Ka has probably been here.
There must be a transformation laboratory here. Regardless of whether it is Ka's accomplices or someone else who is in charge of this laboratory, this planet is dangerous, so it is impossible to let this mermaid live.
Bai Zhi said calmly: "Little mountain, keep its shape and strangle it."
"Okay!" Xiaoshan bared his teeth and smiled. The vines tightened and the mermaid's head fell off. He apologized: "Fifth sister, I'm sorry, I used a little too much force."
"It's too brittle." The vines controlled by Bai Zhi grew out of the ground, quickly climbed up the body of the dead mermaid, wrapped around the body tightly and turned the body over.
Lord Shao watched helplessly as the vines as thin as hair elegantly peeled away the seaweed wrapped around the mermaid's waist, exposing the mermaid's lower part.
Xiaoshan tilted his head and glanced twice, and said, "It looks like it has the ability to reproduce. There is probably a large group of mermaids living in this place."
Bai Zhi took out a radiation meter and turned it on. The meter showed that the radiation here was within the acceptable range for ordinary humans. She measured the mermaid's head and body, and the meter did not alarm.
"It's artificially modified, I'll burn it." Bai Zhi said.
Of course, when I specifically said burn it, I didn't mean to flick the small fireball casually. Xiaoshan retracted the finger that flicked the small fireball.
Bai Zhi took out a bottle of fuel and poured it on the mermaid's head and body, lighting it on fire.
The rain was still falling, and the rain could not put out the fire that burned the corpses, but the three people were soaked to the skin.
"When this mermaid was discovered by you, there was another one that ran away or was lurking somewhere. We'd better leave here and go farther away from the river." Bai Zhi didn't want to waste the rest of the time. Wasted on fighting mermaids. If you want to know the situation of the mermaid, you can throw a few monitors into the water. Her time should be spent looking for the planet-level intelligent brain host base.
So she just threw a few monitors disguised in the shape of leaves into the water.
This is not the first time that Xiao Shao has fallen into a deserted star. The previous few times he and his teammates had experienced rough experiences on similar deserted stars, regardless of whether they encountered artificially modified creatures or not. This time with Bai Zhi, he didn't want to cause trouble at all. He just wanted to go to his colleagues to find him. He nodded in agreement, "Let's find a big town with good conditions to live in and wait for rescue. Let's treat this time as a vacation."
Riding a flying motorcycle in such heavy rain is quite troublesome, but walking in the rain in a roadless jungle is even more difficult.
Xiao Shan asked him to drive the motorcycle and Bai Zhi let him drive, while she sat in the carriage.
Mr. Shao felt quite strange sitting behind the mutant zombie king, and his sitting posture was even a little twisted.
Xiaoshan has night vision, and Bai Zhi can also "see" it. A motorcycle passes over a village silently, and Bai Zhi throws out a monitor. As the motorcycle passed by the second and third villages, Bai Zhi threw out several monitors and a signal receiving repeater.
Mr. Shao watched Bai Zhi keep throwing monitors out and felt that the cost of monitors produced by Ji's Heavy Industry should be relatively low. He felt that he needed to find an opportunity to talk to Xiaobai about Feihu.Qi and Ji's Heavy Industry. Business cooperation.
At dawn, when the motorcycle approached a large town covering an area of about 40 to 50 square kilometers, the rain stopped.
Driving a motorcycle in the sky would easily cause trouble for the locals, so Xiao Shan simply landed the motorcycle in a mountainous area more than ten kilometers away from the town.
They found a dense tree at the foot of the muddy mountain, climbed into the canopy and squatted to watch the video sent back by the monitor.
The video sent back by the monitor placed in the water showed nothing but rolling waves.
The outermost villages have dozens of thatched houses that can barely protect themselves from the wind and rain. The people who slept in the thatched huts were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and some of their limbs or facial features always looked weird.
Bai Zhi asked Xiao Shao: "It must have been a long time since radiation disasters occurred on this planet. Why does it still exist like this?"
"Sequelae, their parents should look normal. Abnormal offspring are all rushed to such fringe villages." Xiao Shao sighed. The ruins of Xinglin where the recent radiation disaster occurred may have been broken into an asteroid belt. People don’t even have this kind of future.
The humans in the second village still looked horrified. The third village is much better, although some people have problems with it at first glance. But there are also some who look just like ordinary normal humans.
While watching the video, Bai Zhi took out a few sets of old, dirty clothes that looked slightly better than those in the third village, and asked them both: "Do you need to change clothes?"
"Need it." Xiao Shao took a set and slid under the big tree to change clothes.
Bai Zhi and Xiao Shan also changed into shabby clothes. Xiaoshan also put on a mask and looked like an ordinary young man from a small town. Bai Zhi herself also put on a mask of a young woman with mediocre features. She also took out three shapeless luggage and distributed them to everyone.
Each suitcase contained several pieces of clothing and a handful of nutritional supplements that had no origin label and looked shoddy.
Xiao Shao was very curious about Bai Zhi's old clothes and tattered luggage, and asked, "Where did you get these things?"
"The after-sales service kindly gave me a gift when I bought the random stargate." Bai Zhi smiled and put her bag on her back, "We may not understand the language here, can you?"
"It should be in common language. I guess there will be a little accent. If you just listen and don't speak, there will be no problem." Xiao Shao led the way. He thought about it for a long time before he realized that the clothes and luggage belonged to the thugs who robbed Bai Zhi. Thing, this woman!
The layout of this town is similar to that of Xinglin. A high wall separates the inner city from the outer city. The procedures for entering and exiting the inner city are very strict, while the outer city moves freely. The three strangers wandered around without being questioned. Like them There are also a lot of people hanging out.
Xiao Shao casually found a tavern that was open all night to rest. It was still dark, but the business in the tavern was actually pretty good. There were only two empty tables out of a dozen or so. The customers were either drunk and sleeping on the table, or they were sleeping on the table and they didn't know whether they were drunk or not.
The bartender was a lean, bald, middle-aged man. He didn't look like a nice guy at first glance, and he didn't even look like a nice guy when he smiled. The bartender spoke in one of several lingua francas spoken in the 60th District. The accent was thick but both Bai Zhi and Xiao Shan could understand it.
Xiao Shao paid for three glasses of ale and asked the Bai siblings to lie down on the table and relax for a while.
When it was just dawn, a middle-aged man stood at the door of the tavern and shouted: "Recruit six guards to go to Qingwucheng. Food and accommodation are included. The salary in Qingwucheng is 80 yuan."
Immediately, several people stood up and said, "I'm going." The middle-aged man ordered six people to follow him, and those who were not chosen sat down and continued to wait.
People came looking for guards or helpers one after another. Some people left, and others came in one after another to order a glass of ale and sit down and wait.
Bai Zhi held the wine glass and listened quietly to the chats of the subsequent customers, piecing together the general situation of this place from the gossip.
The locals call their planet Mulan. Mulan Planet's resources are extremely scarce. The fuel is basically wood, and the power depends entirely on manpower and animal power. The houses built are either made of wood or stone, and metal products can be used as family heirlooms. A family would occupy a city-state or a region for hundreds or thousands of years, expanding its territory through marriage or war to weaken its opponents.
However, Mulan Planet is not completely isolated from the outside world. From time to time, spaceships will come by to buy some handicrafts. It is basically impossible for locals to leave by spaceship, unless they sell themselves as slaves. Because of the influence of external forces, the local separatist forces on Mulan Planet have never developed into a country.
Most of the locals have despaired of life on Mulan Planet without a future, hate all people and items that may leave, and are very unfriendly to the alien population. Most of the aliens who come to settle on Mulan have weapons, spaceships or aircraft. They usually live on a small island in the sea, using the wide ocean to prevent their precious aircraft from being stolen or destroyed.
The situation of the mermaid that Bai Zhi wants to know the most has not been mentioned, and there is no trace of the planet-level brain base. She probably has to go to a higher-level place to inquire about the information or find a powerful person to release a micro-monitor.
No matter what he did next, squatting in a tavern wouldn't work. At the very least, he had to find a place to stay. The annoying thing is that now that Jilei Mountain is being upgraded, large items cannot be taken out. Otherwise, it would be more convenient and trouble-free to drive away Mr. Shao and drive the small spaceship into the sea.
Bai Zhi began to think about getting rid of Xiao Shao.
Xiao Shao collected enough information and concluded that the most prosperous city on Mulan Planet was Muxi City, which was more than 3,000 kilometers away from here. He invited the Bai family siblings to go to the inn and look at the large map at the entrance of the inn.
There is no mail train going directly to Muxi City at the inn, but the mail train going to Qingwu City, 600 kilometers away, takes three or four days. At this rate, it would take at least half a month to take the mail train to Muxi.
"We won't need to take the mail car, right?" Xiaoshan didn't want to take the mail car at all.
The mail truck was just a few steps away, pulled by four large animals that looked like oxen rather than horses. Not to mention the stink of the animals, there was also a large cage containing live birds on the roof of the mail truck. Those live birds were like It smelled so bad that you can imagine how debilitating it would be to stay in the mail carriage for a few days.
Bai Zhi also has a flying motorcycle, so she doesn’t need to take the mail truck or walk. Xiao Shao shook his head honestly, "I can't afford the car payment."
"I can't pay for the car either." Bai Zhi had the market money in her hand. She sat in the tavern all morning and didn't see anyone using the market money. Of course, she couldn't have money either.
So the three of them walked out of the city in the direction pointed out on the map, and after dark, they took a flying motorcycle to Muxi City.
The urban area of Muxi City is about 20 to 30 square kilometers. It does not have an inner city or it is an inner city itself. The streets in the city are neat and all are decorated mansions. Only a few kilometers away from the city are towns of large and small civilians working for the city, and the slums are huddled at the foot of Mulan Mountain, more than ten kilometers away from the city.
The social season in Muxi City has ended. A large part of the owners of the city's mansions have returned to their manors or castles. Urban civilians and poor people have few opportunities to enter the city. Unemployed vagrants like Xiao Shao and Bai Zhi Xiaoshan are not even allowed to enter the city at all. Not allowed to enter the city, the three of them had to rent a loft of less than ten square meters in Zhulan Town, a civilian area.
Most people in Zhulan Town are engaged in wood carving or provide wood carving services, and the landlord's family is no exception. The landlady, his wife, and their two eldest sons all work in a carving workshop, and several other tenants also work in several nearby workshops.
On the first day she moved in, Bai Zhi released a dozen micro-monitors smaller than dragonflies at midnight.
Xiao Shao already knew about her relationship with Ji, and also knew that their family had particularly large-capacity space equipment. Bai Zhi stopped hiding it and directly took out the desktop smart brain to process the video. The operating system of Ji Lei Mountain was independently developed by Hao Xing, Mian Ning and Qi Haoyu. The operating interface and language imitated the Imperial Pass System and Imperial Common Language, and she was not afraid of Xiao Shao reading it.
The flight direction of the micro-monitor is Muxi City, and most of the videos sent back have no human activities, and mostly feature close-ups of houses. Bai Zhi was very interested in the decorative patterns of the house and issued instructions to arrange for the monitor to continue taking pictures of the house's carvings during the day tomorrow.
The second batch of videos sent back were from the three batches of monitors thrown out on the road. The software judged that the content was similar to the video sent back last time. Bai Zhi took out a five-minute video and watched it, but found nothing new. The software has already started processing the third batch of videos at this time. It compares the last data and finds a difference and immediately pops up a short report: "Two monitors did not send back data."
Bai Zhi clicked on this report, and a second report popped up: "Three hundred and seventy mermaid-like creatures were found."
Xiaoshan said: "Three companies."
Xiao Shao was also very alert. He pointed at the number "three hundred and seventy" and said, "The number of people in an integrated Marine Corps. Are they an organized armed force?"
"Just take a look and you will know." Bai Zhi said, opening the link attached to the second report.
The time shown in the upper right corner of the video is this morning. Groups of neatly lined up mermaids are swimming in the turbid water. Green mountains loomed in the distance, with dark clouds pressing overhead. The mermaids wore armor made of rattan and held spears made of bone spurs. They looked as menacing as they were filming a fantasy blockbuster.
Bai Zhi entered the command and called up the relevant videos from several other monitors. The screen was divided into six, and each screen was displayed at a different time. Judging from the shape and arrangement of the bone spears and the number of people, it was the same team.
A translucent map popped up, and a group of small red dots slowly moved on the map. The direction of movement was exactly the direction Bai Zhi and the others left. It is normal for you to kill a murloc and be hunted by the murlocs. However, Bai Zhi noticed something wrong with the video picture in the lower right corner.
In this video, a human being just climbed out of the water, took out a towel out of thin air and wiped his hair wet. He lifted up his long wet hair to expose his cheek holes behind his ears.
Amphibious humans! Bai Zhi zoomed in on the video, took high-definition screenshots of the person's front and side, and said, "I'm afraid this amphibious man is the one who really came to us. Remember his appearance."
