Not long after, an elephant gradually appeared in everyone's field of vision.
However, it is different from ordinary elephants. Its skin reflects a faint light, full of metallic texture.
"The second form of the metal-type ability. This guy is already big, and his blood is thick, enough!" Ji Anran analyzed it all at once.
There are two common types of metal superpowers, one is like Wei Yanhua, who can manipulate various metals; the other is to make his body as strong as metal.
The former has great lethality, while the latter has strong defense. But an elephant can crush a person with one kick, and with this terrifying ability, it shouldn't be too scary!
"run!"
Geng Yan gave the order without hesitation.
The metal elephant's movements were fast, breaking through the vines and trees in the blink of an eye, and rushed out stepping on the fallen branches and leaves all over the ground.
Geng Yan's team left quickly, but the metal elephant stared at them and followed closely behind, refusing to leave.
"Don't elephants eat leaves, why are they chasing us?!"
Gao Xun had a broken face, shouting while running.
Ji Anran seized the opportunity to glance at the chasing elephant behind him, and his heart sank.
The metal elephant's eyes were full of devouring eyes, and the slightly opened mouth was drooling, looking very scary.
"It really wants to eat us, it's troublesome now." Ji Anran complained incessantly.
It's not that he can't beat the elephant, it's just that he laments that there will be no way for people to survive in the last days.
"After the end of the world, many animals have mutated. Now it seems that not only have they changed in size and acquired abilities, but some of them have also changed their eating habits."
Geng Yan was filled with emotions.
"Don't run away, it's staring at us. At the current speed, we can't shake it off, let's fight."
As Geng Yan said, he turned around and threw a thunderball at the metal elephant!
The metal elephant suddenly wailed, and the sound was very shrill!
"It seems that its skin has really turned into metal, instead of simply possessing the hardness of metal, that's why it's so painful to be hit by Brother Geng's lightning!" Ji Anran was overjoyed, and raised his crossbow to shoot at the metal wall. Elephant's eye.
However, after the metal elephant howled, the ground seemed to vibrate.
"What happened?" Gao Xun was so scared that his face changed, "Is this an earthquake, let's find a place to hide!"
"It wasn't an earthquake, but other elephants came. Elephants live in groups. Although the elephants in the zoo are all artificially introduced, there is not only one. I thought it was because those elephants were not awakened. Ability, has long been buried in the belly of mutant animals."
Looking at the herd of elephants that appeared not far away, Ji Anran felt his head ache, especially... not all the elephants that came had no abilities!
"Be careful, I'll get rid of this metal elephant first. You guys deal with the rest first." Geng Yan ordered calmly.
Ji Anran ran quickly, avoiding the snowball that hit him.
This wasn't the snowball he encountered during the snowball fight. If he was hit, his blood would be frozen.
"good chance!"
Ji Anran seized the opportunity and shot an arrow.
The arrow hit the elephant's skin and slid off.
"Damn it, this elephant's ability is obviously a snowflake, why is it so rough and thick?!"
Ji Anran's eyes turned cold, and he could only get rid of those elephants who didn't have supernatural powers but intended to crush him with their thick legs.
Obviously these elephants have not mutated, why do they still want his life. Could it be that they were planning to use his corpse as food for those mutated elephants
Ji Anran felt that he had guessed right, he kept wandering among the elephant herd, and if he was distracted, he might be trampled to the ground.
As more and more elephants fell down, the pressure on Ji Anran became much lighter.
"ah!"
Ji Anran took a step back abruptly, a snowball exploded where he was standing just now, and the blood on the ground was instantly frozen.
"It's it again!"
This elephant seems to be eyeing Ji Anran, and Ji Anran can only keep avoiding it. Because his bow and arrow can't hurt the opponent's thick skin, he can only keep wandering around looking for opportunities.
Suddenly, Ji Anran raised the crossbow that had been idle for a long time.
The arrow pierced through the void and pierced one of the elephant's eyes with lightning speed!
The elephant screamed suddenly, and the whole elephant seemed to be crazy, stomping everywhere, without any rules.
Fist-sized snowballs fell from the sky like raindrops.
Ji Anran picked up the crossbow and smashed the snowball that was about to hit him.
The elephant was also at the end of its strength because it squandered its abilities in anger.
A flash of lightning happened to appear in the blind spot of the elephant's blind eye. The elephant didn't notice it, and was turned into coke by the powerful lightning!
"An Ran, thank you for blinding one of its eyes, otherwise it wouldn't be easy for me to sneak attack it."
Geng Yan walked over and rubbed Ji Anran's head, his eyes were full of pampering.
These elephants are not low in intelligence, and they are also very flexible when evading. Otherwise, Geng Yan's team would not have been delayed for so long.
"Brother Geng, you have consumed a lot of abilities, take a break." Ji Anran looked worried.
In fact, their team didn't want to fight against the elephant herd at first, they just didn't want to fight too many times before going to the aquarium. The ability is consumed, and it needs to be recovered quickly with a crystal nucleus, or wait for time to recover by itself.
Unless they had to, they didn't want to use crystal nuclei casually.
——
After Geng Yan put the supplies on the ground into the space, his team walked around and found a quieter place to rest for half an hour.
The place where the previous battle was fought was full of blood, and the smell of blood rose to the sky!
If he stayed there, he didn't know how many ferocious beasts and mutated animals would have to face attracted by the smell of blood.
"It's almost time, let's go." Geng Yan stood up.
Ji Anran took a few sips of water and handed the bottle to Geng Yan.
Holding the bottle, Geng Yan frowned: "You just drink this little water, is it really enough? You sweated a lot in the battle just now."
"Brother Geng, I've had enough." Ji Anran hecked twice, rubbing against Geng Yan's arm, "Whenever I'm thirsty or hungry, I'll come to you again."
"Okay." Geng Yan's gaze also softened.
"Who!"
There was a sudden sound of hurried and messy footsteps on the right, and it seemed that there was more than one person.
Geng Yan directly blocked Ji Anran behind him, watching the front vigilantly.
Ji Anran didn't object either, anyway, his biggest duty in the team was to pretend to be an ordinary person so that the enemy could relax their vigilance against him. He is a trump card hidden by the team, and he will not be easily released on weekdays.
Brother Geng did this, in a way, to protect his weak status.
After all, there are many people in this zoo exterminating mutant animals, and law enforcement teams from two bases are patrolling.
He is not sure that he will kill all the people who see his ability, so hiding the ability is necessary.
It was a team, and they all looked embarrassed, obviously running for their lives.
"Don't run!"
The voices of the pursuers became clearer and clearer, and it seemed that there was a conflict between the two teams.
"This is internal fighting, where is the law enforcement team?" Gao Xun looked around.
Geng Yan's expression remained calm, and the vigilance in his heart never relaxed for a moment.
"It's hard to say. Maybe these two teams are in the same group. They may want to use this to lower our vigilance and harm us. As long as there is a possibility of one in ten thousand, we cannot completely relax alert!"
Geng Yan finally relaxed a little as he looked at the two teams that were becoming clearer in front of him.
"The group of people chasing after him are Wang Haixiong's lackeys. I remember their appearance."
Ji Anran poked her head out and said excitedly.
It's really a narrow road.
Wei Yanhua's face turned pale: "It's good if it's not an enemy. However, although these two teams were chasing after each other, they didn't use supernatural powers to attack each other. I guess it's because of this that the people at the base didn't intervene. .”
After all, none of the chasers used powers. Everyone is a person with abilities, and it is difficult to kill each other without abilities.
I hope that the people at the base know who Wang Haixiong is, and they have also heard about the farce that happened at the Chenxi base. They knew very well in their hearts that Wang Haixiong was seeking revenge, and as long as human lives were not involved, they would not take action.
Wang Haixiong's henchmen were all very proud: "Run, let's see how long you can run! We usually follow Wang Shao, but we often chase people... Geng, Geng Yan!"
Seeing Geng Yan and Ji Anran, Wang Haixiong's lackeys all stuttered as if they had met King Yama.
The prestige he had when he faced Liang Yin's team seemed to have disappeared.
"Should we still chase?" one of the dogs asked.
The more they chased, the closer they were to Geng Yan. This is not good news.
Geng Yan looked at these people and smiled slightly: "I heard that you were the ones who sent Liang Yin here before. You followed Wang Haixiong and ran over to the hotel lobby of our base to see An Ran's jokes. Am I right?"
Although Geng Yan was smiling, but that smile didn't have any warmth, it was very scary.
"Chasing, chasing a fart!"
The leading dog leg turned around and ran away.
===
Because the pursuers ran away, the chased team finally escaped.
However, their expressions were not much better than when they were being chased before.
"Geng Yan and Ji Anran? I'll go, just after leaving the tiger's mouth and entering the wolf's den!"
One person's calves were shaking, and he couldn't help turning around, wanting to run.
"Don't run back, are you going to be beaten by Wang Haixiong's gang?! Go this way!"
So, Geng Yan looked at those people and fled towards the woods.
Nowadays, there are many mutated animals in zoos. Although the number of mutated plants is less than that of mutated animals, it should not be underestimated.
The forest is a very suitable place for animals to live in. The plants grow densely, and it is not a good escape route no matter how you look at it.
But their insistence on going into the woods also shows that they think the Geng Yan team ahead is a huge threat in their eyes, an existence more terrifying than the danger in the woods!
"An Ran, do you know them?" Geng Yan raised his eyebrows.
Ji Anran's delicate face was blank, he shook his head: "I don't know them. I'm sure, I haven't seen them before."
At least, I haven't seen it in my life.
I met him on the road in my previous life, but I didn't have much contact with him.
"Why are they hiding from the two of us? There must be something wrong here!" Geng Yan stepped up to catch up, "Let's catch them and ask them clearly."
Those people ran forward very hard, but Geng Yan and the others were not vegetarians.
Wei Yanhua went over with several metal swords and cut down several trees. Trees fell down one after another, blocking the way of the team.
Those people trembled with fear and huddled together.
"My reputation in the major bases should not be so bad that you treat me like a ghost. Who are you guys?!"
Ji Anran walked over, with a slight sadness on her delicate face, it seemed that I felt pity for him.
"Why? I remember that I didn't do anything to hurt you. Why did you run away when you heard my name? You will make me feel very hurt. It's obvious that I didn't do anything."
As Ji Anran spoke, his eyes dimmed.
He looked sad, as if after being treated unreasonably, he suffered a huge trauma in his heart.
Liang Yin's teammates: "..."
The dejected guy in front of him defeated all the rivals who were sent over! It was this weak-looking little boy who almost ruined Wang Haixiong!
"An Ran..."
Although he knew it was an act, but seeing Ji Anran's sad appearance, Geng Yan still felt terribly uncomfortable.
He hugged him into his arms, and gently kissed the slightly red corners of his eyes: "It's them making trouble for no reason, and it's not your fault. I'll ask the truth and seek justice for you!"
When coaxing Ji Anran, Geng Yan's voice was as gentle as an angel; but when it came to asking for justice, the indifference in his tone made people shudder.
Li Hai, Liang Yin's captain, stood up and said bravely, "It's not Mr. Ji's fault, it's just our guilty conscience."
"Guilty to be a thief?" Ji Anran looked bewildered.
He has never been the kind of holy father who easily let others go. If someone steps on the door, he will definitely find a place.
Logically speaking, shouldn't he not know these people? Those who have offended him in this world and have not been retaliated by him are only those in the previous life.
"Liang Yin is a member of our team." The captain said with a sad face, "He has run away now, please don't come to blame us."
Ji Anran was silent for a second, then blinked: "You guys suggested that Liang Yin come over to accompany Brother Geng?"
"No. After Wang Haixiong offended Geng Yan, he wanted to present a man who fit Geng Yan's taste, so he set his sights on Liang Yin. He brought his dog legs to the door and forced Liang Yin to go."
"That's fine, why should I blame you?" Ji Anran was confused.
For this reason, when he heard it, he thought he was hallucinating.
After the incident, he also investigated. He found out that Wang Haixiong had made all of this himself, and Liang Yin was only forced to get involved.
The culprit has already been taught a lesson by himself, and this matter has come to an end.
Li Hai was taken aback for a moment, then became excited.
"It's our fault, it's our cranky thinking. You and Geng Yan are really good people, it's our narrow-mindedness."
Li Hai kept praising Ji Anran and Geng Yan, and praised them all to heaven.
The other team members also echoed: "Yes, yes, we are so rubbish, how can we think of you like that. Obviously you have a good reputation, and you are not the kind of unreasonable people."
In fact, they can't be blamed for this. I heard that Zhou Wanglin, a well-known good man in the Chenxi base, actually sent the supernatural beings as experimental products. Since then, they have had great doubts about the credibility of the supernatural beings.
In addition, Wang Haixiong, an unreasonable guy who keeps making trouble, they also think that Geng Yan and Ji Anran are probably similar.
What the strong man needs to crush an ant to death is never a valid excuse. As long as you just showed up at that time, and he happened to dislike you...
Then your every breath is a sin.
"Is it because of Liang Yin's matter that Wang Haixiong's dogs are chasing you?" Ji Anran asked.
"Yes. Liang Yin has already run away. But Wang Haixiong was upset, he blamed us, and wanted to take it out on us." Li Hai was very helpless, "As soon as I found out the leaving note left by Liang Yin, I immediately took the team out of the hotel. Mutant animals are being killed here. Even though the zoo is not small, we still bumped into them."
"I think they are looking for us on purpose. It's useless for us to hide. We can't leave until the task is completed, or the base will trouble us...Damn it!"
A team member said angrily, raised his fist and slammed it heavily on the tree trunk.
"Wang Haixiong said that if we don't get Liang Yin back, he will continue to abuse us. We don't know what to do. We can hide for a while, but we can't hide forever!"
"I hope people in the base don't care about it. This is too much." Wei Yanhua was a little surprised.
Li Hai sneered: "Those people are busy fighting for power and profit, how can they have the time to fight for the strong and help the weak? Wang Haixiong's brother-in-law is one of the people who are fighting for the rights of the base. The law enforcement team looks at his face. As long as we have one breath left No, it doesn't matter."
"I hope the base is so bad, you don't want to stay any longer. There are so many bases, so try another place." Gao Xun suggested.
"We have stayed in the hope base for so long. The materials and family members are all in the base. How can we just leave? Besides, even if we go to other bases, people in other bases will not easily believe us."
Who knows if they are deliberately arranged espionage operations? There are all kinds of intrigues between the various bases, and even the Chenxi Base and the Hope Base, which are the second cooperation, have no less rivalry behind the scenes.
"I don't know where Liang Yin is. If he comes back, everything will be over." A member of the team said with a numb face, giving up on himself.
Li Hai shook his head: "He won't come back. I guess that kid has already returned to the base. He has no relatives now. He will go back to the base to get supplies, and he will probably go to another base."
"That's right. Wang Haixiong will beat you up if he catches you. If you catch him... he will probably die. He won't show up."
This is a very cruel thing.
For Liang Yin's teammates, this was completely unwarranted. Because Liang Yin deceived Wang Haixiong and ran away, they were destined to live in dire straits.
For Liang Yin, this was a disaster from heaven. He was forced by Wang Haixiong's people to come to Geng Yan's door to "recommend himself", and he also had to bear the risk of being killed by the enraged Geng Yan.
Geng Yan didn't kill him, but he didn't succeed, and his end was equally terrible. Since the end of the world, he has been working hard to survive, and he doesn't want to die there at all.
So he fled. He left a note to remind his teammates, which is the only thing he can do for his teammates.
He knew that Wang Haixiong wanted to kill him, and he didn't want to come back in this life. He also knows that this is likely to make his teammates angry, and he blames himself very much.
But this bit of self-blame is far from enough for him to die generously.
He couldn't give up living for the sake of not being angered by his teammates.
——
Li Hai's team was very pitiful, but Ji Anran and the others had nothing to do.
After parting, Ji Anran was a little depressed.
"In this damned apocalypse, I only care about leaving despair for others. Brother Geng, sometimes I feel that we are much stronger than others, but there are still many things that we can't do. I know I have tried my best to find a way, but I think I can't get out, I'm useless, I feel so uncomfortable... "
Ji Anran looked depressed, with his head drooping like an abandoned kitten.
Geng Yan hugged him into his arms and comforted him softly: "An Ran. There are limits to what everyone can do, as long as we don't regret it."
"Well, I know. If Li Hai and the others want to be relieved, they probably can only wait until the dust of the battle at the hope base settles."
"Perhaps. But I guess they should be bullied like this because they didn't join any forces. This time when they go back, Li Hai and the others should join one of the forces to change this bad situation."
"As a team of supernatural beings, it is almost impossible not to get involved in the struggle in Hope Base."
Ji Anran remembered how he was silenced when he failed to win over in his previous life, and couldn't help clenching his fists.
"Actually, if they go to other bases, they will be recognized and accepted after a long time. I hope that the dirty place in the base will die in internal strife sooner or later!"
Ji Anran clenched her fists tightly, her nails embedded in her palms.
Startled, Geng Yan hurriedly broke away Ji Anran's little hand.
The skin of the originally tender and white hands was pinched, and blood was oozing from several wounds that looked like nail prints.
However, a certain person still looked indifferent, and said nonchalantly: "So I was so hard just now? I didn't even notice."
