After the abnormality occurred, Shi Man went to look for milk immediately.
Normally, in this situation, Milk would give an immediate warning, but until now, there has been no movement from Milk.
Milk and his brother were curled up together on Shi Man's bed, sleeping soundly. The two little ones had eaten too many insects before, and cats like to sleep, so after getting in the car, Shi Man wiped their paws clean and left them alone.
But now Shi Man found something wrong. She climbed onto the bed and moved closer to the two little ones, but the two little ones did not react at all.
"Milk? Brother?"
Shi Man touched the cat and the dog and found that the body temperature of both of them was extremely high.
Her heart skipped a beat, but she didn't panic. An idea came to her mind involuntarily:
--upgrade.
Just like the thoughts that came to her mind when she saw the mushrooms, the scene before her gave her a familiar feeling.
She somehow knew what the current condition of Milk and her brother was.
The mutated silkworm pupa obviously had plenty of energy. After eating too much, the two little ones were now in an upgrade state, so they fell asleep.
Qi Hao's worried voice came from below: "Sister Man, are my brother and Niu Niang okay? Why aren't they moving?"
Shi Man got off the bed and shook her head, saying, "It's okay. They ate too many bugs and fell asleep."
She paused, then said frankly, "I think they're evolving."
Hearing the word 'evolution', everyone showed a look of surprise.
Ellie, the biologist, was the most excited: "Boss, can I observe and record it up close?"
Shi Man hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, but don't get too close."
Qi Hao was like an old father at this moment, happy on one hand and worried on the other.
Seeing this, Shi Man asked him to stay in the car, and she asked the others to get out of the car fully armed to investigate the situation.
After getting off the bus, everyone checked the abandoned vehicles separately.
Shi Man wiped off the thick snow on the car window. The car was empty and there was no body.
"Xiao Man, there are no signs of damage to the exterior of the vehicle, but one thing is strange: the car is locked."
Zhou Feifei hesitated and asked, "If you're abandoning the car and leaving, is it necessary to lock it?"
Meng Xiaodao scratched his head: "Maybe it's a habit?"
Zhou Feifei shook her head. "Normally, there's no problem getting out and locking the car, but look at how much snow is covering the car. It doesn't look like it was driven to H City during the flood. It looks more like it's been parked here for the past few days."
"It's likely that the engine and other parts are frozen, making the vehicle no longer drivable. If the car is broken, there's no need to lock it and leave it."
"That's right..." Meng Xiaodao was confused.
Shi Man suddenly said, "It's strange inside the car, too."
Shi Man had swept away the snow on the front window, so he could see what was going on inside the car.
"Look, the temperature today is minus 60. Judging by the snow covering the outside of this car, it's only been exposed for two days at most."
"This car has ice stuck to the inside of the windows and metal parts, which is normal. However, the car's seat cushions are made of cartoon plush. This kind of fiber material should freeze less easily, and the frost should mainly stick to it."
"But the car's plush interior is more frozen than the metal parts..."
Zhou Feifei's eyes flickered as she continued, "Unless these plush interiors have been exposed to a large amount of water, it doesn't make sense."
Shi Man nodded.
At this moment, Song Yan and Chu Han also discovered it.
