Chapter 117: Zombies multiply

Views:

When the Yellow River Base and the Yangtze River Base were gathering, the Pearl River Base was full of carnival for the first batch of greenhouse-grown rice harvests.

Ordinary people and supernatural beings who bought food with contribution points or crystal cards couldn't wait to steam the rice. The plump white rice exuded an intoxicating aroma like their expectations for life and the future. This date has also been recorded in the history of the Pearl River Base and has become a harvest day that has been passed down.

When Hou Ying and Li Xuanyuan came back from the Yellow River Base, they were also kept to eat the first course of rice with everyone, and they took a few thousand catties of rice with them before leaving.

On the plane back to the Gulf, Hou Ying couldn't help but sighed: "Duan Yin has indeed done a good job, this is what the Survivor Base should look like."

Such as the Yellow River base and the Yangtze River base... Hey, it doesn't matter if I don't mention it, anyway, when the king of Hades fights, it is innocent little ghosts who suffer. I hope that the Pearl River base can maintain such a peaceful and positive state for a long time, and it is better not to repeat the mistakes of the Yellow River base.

Li Xuanyuan nodded, "It will get better and better."

If things go against their wishes, it must be the end of the cooperation between the Xuanyuan family and the Duan family or the breakup of the relationship between Xuanyuan Zhen and Duan Yin. If that happens, he will not let the Duan family destroy the peace of the Yangtze River Base. As Hou Ying said, he can take back any benefits he can give Duan Yin and the Duan family at any time.

The two communicated with Xuanyuan's crystal nucleus, the number of pearls needed, and the current status of the abilities of the supernatural beings, and soon returned to the coastal station.

Hearing the sound of the plane, Qiao Daye greeted everyone, and he and Su Fenghe spontaneously retreated to clean up the crystal nuclei, and returned to work as soon as possible. The two of Hou Ying got off the plane one step earlier than the big team, and Meng Hanghai, who stayed behind, came up to welcome Li Hou in his arms. Before Hou Ying got off the plane, she heard Li Hou laughing loudly. She didn't expect that this unlucky child immediately shrugged and cried when she saw herself and Xuanyuan, as if she had been wronged by the sky, and Meng Hanghai was frightened. Big jump.

Li Xuanyuan couldn't see how Hou Ying looked at her son crying with her arms around her chest, and when she saw Li Hou stretching her hands and half of her body hanging towards them, she hugged him into her arms.

"dad… "

Li Hou was able to pronounce these two syllables accurately. He sobbed and rubbed Li Xuanyuan's face, almost rubbing his nose and tears on his father's face.

Hou Ying couldn't help laughing at this, took Meng Hanghai's tissue and wiped his snot and tears, and teased him: "I miss my father so much that I cry, my dear son, has he behaved these two days?"

He and Li Xuanyuan stayed at the Pearl River Base for one night, personally learned about the progress of various researches at the Pearl River Base, and had a deep talk with Wang Hehe before returning. Just this one night is a long, long time for a child.

Meng Hanghai stepped forward and said, "Yesterday my younger brother was still crying, calling for dad all the time, and refused to eat."

Seeing his distressed look, Hou Ying rubbed his head amusedly. Look at Li Xuanyuan's initiative to be intimate with the kid as compensation after listening to it, and he can't help but lament that this kid will be spoiled sooner or later, it seems that he has to play the red face.

When Qiao Daye and the others came back, Hou Ying was washing rice, and Dongfang Bai's eyes were straight.

Rice, they haven't eaten white rice for a long time, the staple food is noodles, he wants to die!

Ji Yao grabbed Dongfang Bai, who rushed towards him like seeing his own father, and dragged him to wash up, didn't see if Li Hou and Xiao Hai were still there, it would be great if there were dirty things on his body. While waiting for the meal, Liu Zhan and the others couldn't hold back and told Hou Ying about their major discovery yesterday.

"Brother Monkey, I witnessed a battle to win the child with my own eyes yesterday."

Here's the thing.

They went to work as usual yesterday afternoon. At that time, a mutated crocodile laid eggs and buried more than a dozen eggs in the sand, roasting them with flames continuously—crocodile is a fire-type supernatural creature.

Qiao Daye found it strange looking at it, wondering if the crocodile was eating its own eggs, and wondered if there was a possibility that the crocodile would snatch the food. But within 20 minutes, the eggs that were being roasted by the flames started to move. After the mutated crocodile retracted the flames and pushed away the sand, cracks appeared on the surface of the huge crocodile eggs, and the sound of cracking shells caused Qiao Daye to panic. Notice.

He heard the sound and looked, and saw a small crocodile breaking out of the crocodile egg that had been roasted by flames for a long time before. Before he could take a closer look, a zombie crocodile broke into the mutated crocodile's territory without warning, and opened its mouth. Bite a few crocodile cubs into his mouth, and run away with his big tail swinging. How could the mutated zombies tolerate it, and instantly pounced on the zombie crocodile!

Qiao Daye excitedly wanted to invite his companions to come and see them, but seeing that they were all busy hunting zombies, he was afraid that he would cause trouble for them, so he greeted Su Fenghe, and quickly went to the stone to find the best one. At the shooting point, hold up the dv specially used for recording and shoot.

The crocodile hatched the mutated crocodile with flames and hid the child under its belly. The battle quickly turned into a large-scale war between zombie crocodiles and mutant crocodiles, and the flames spread across a large coast.

I don't know if it is inconvenient to participate in the internal affairs of the crocodile, the tortoise that originally played the role of isolation also slowly moved out of the battlefield.

The purpose of the zombie crocodiles is very clear. They want to snatch the baby crocodiles from the zombies, and the mutated crocodiles will fight to the death to protect them.

The mutated crocodile that first hid its cubs under its belly had already been bitten badly by the zombie crocodile. After dying for a long time, the nearby mutated crocodile immediately took over and kept the zombie crocodile out.

The crocodile roared, and the flames spit out never stopped. The battle for defense lasted for nearly half an hour, and the crocodiles on both sides suffered heavy casualties. It was not until the little crocodile suddenly burst into flames that the battle came to an abrupt end.

The zombie crocodile gave up the fight, retreated quickly, and declared a truce. And Qiao Daye saw sharply that the mutant crocodile cubs bitten into the mouth by the zombie crocodile one after another were not eaten by the zombie crocodile as he imagined, but ignited flames in the mouth of the zombie crocodile one after another... Obviously, their Ability is also awakened.

And after work was over, Qiao Daye immediately let everyone watch this video.

Although the distance is very far, the huge size of the crocodile also allowed the dv to clearly capture the real situation of their battle. After listening to Qiao Daye restore the scene he saw at that time, Liu Zhan and others had a certain guess after a heated discussion .

At this time, Liu Zhan told Hou Ying the consensus reached in their discussions.

"Brother Monkey, we think that the reproduction of zombie crocodiles is very likely to rely on this form. They can't reproduce, but mutant crocodiles can, wait until the cubs are born before they have awakened their abilities, bite them and let them infect Get the zombie virus and turn into a zombie crocodile."

Hou Ying greeted Ye Huizhong and asked her to cook for her, wiped her hands and sat beside Li Xuanyuan who was also in deep thought.

"Are those little crocodiles still here?"

"Well, I even looked at it today. Those tortoises are lying on their stomachs in a new place, pushing the boundary between zombie crocodiles and mutant crocodiles to the east. Now the two sides are in peace as before."

Joe Ono said.

Hou Ying nodded, "Second brother, follow up on this matter. Be sure to see whether those zombie crocodiles and mutant crocodiles are growing, whether they are growing synchronously, and whether their abilities are evolving. Let's pay more attention to this matter next. In terms of the situation, see if other zombie creatures have the same reproduction characteristics."

Gongsun Jing: "Brother Monkey, you also think that the reproduction of zombie creatures is likely to have such a commonality, right? They can't reproduce, but they can snatch the cubs of mutant creatures and turn them into zombies before they awaken their abilities."

Hou Ying: "Based on the situation of crocodiles alone, we can only get some references now, and we need more evidence to draw conclusions. I just wonder whether the cubs of mutant creatures need to awaken within a certain period of time after birth. , Is it because they can form supernatural glands in the brain after they are separated? Is it because the zombie crocodiles are rushing around within this time limit to infect them with the zombie virus before the glands are formed, thereby forming zombie crystal nuclei? Is it possible that if the larva cannot complete the evolution process within this time, it will become a normal creature? Or is it possible that the next generation of all mutated creatures will be supernatural creatures?"

"Brother Monkey's analysis is quite correct."

Liu Zhan said excitedly that they had been arguing about reproduction for a long time before, but they had never thought about supernatural glands and crystal nuclei. If the juveniles of mutated creatures are indeed supernatural creatures, and it takes a certain amount of time to complete the formation of glands, they may be able to start from this aspect and fundamentally achieve the goal of reducing zombie creatures.

Hou Ying said: "This matter can't be kept secret. To be careful, second child, you should go back after dinner and tell Sister Xiaozhen and Duan Yin the news. The base's special research on the breeding of zombies has not found any substantive findings. , if this is a common feature of the zombie world, zombies are likely to attack humans. There are already some pregnant women in the base, so Duan Yin must take care of them."

Liu Zhan and the others gasped.

It's not a big deal to watch the excitement, but if it's about yourself, it's sloppy!

It would be terrifying if the zombies rioted like the zombie crocodiles when the newborns were born!

Ji Yao swallowed his saliva and said, "It shouldn't be so, it wasn't when Li Hou was born..."

He recalled carefully while talking, it seems that there was no such thing as a zombie riot at that time. But it's really hard to say. At that time, they killed most of the zombies before letting Gongsun Jing deliver the baby. Could it be because zombies need to be within a certain range to sense human newborns

Hou Ying frowned: "Li Hou awakened his abilities before he was born."

His words reminded everyone.

Li Hou was not a child born normally. He stayed in the mother's body for far more than ten months, and he awakened his supernatural powers in the mother's body, so that his biological mother, who had no supernatural powers, could persist until the end of the world. when they rescued.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and at this time they were more aware of the seriousness of the matter.

Newborns, that's where the real hope of humanity lies. No matter how much the price is paid, they must be preserved!
