Zhou Haoran got into the car and drove away. Looking at the figures of Lewu and the others in the rearview mirror, he was still deeply moved.
Although the world can no longer be viewed with the same perspective as before, after all, zombies have appeared.
But the enormous octopus and giant kangaroo spirits were still hard for him to accept for a while.
Whether they accept it or not won't make any difference. Perhaps they will see more animals like this in the future. Mutation and evolution are not just for humans, but for all living things.
Thinking of this, Zhou Haoran suddenly had a flash of inspiration: there will be mutated animals and plants in the future, and humanity's enemies will not be just zombies.
The more Zhou Haoran thought about it, the more difficult it seemed for humanity to survive, as if this disaster was specifically targeted at humankind.
Afterwards, Zhou Haoran returned to the Survivors Hotel, put down the supplies, made arrangements for Qin Miao, and then hurriedly set off for the official base in the south of the city.
This used to be a military research institute, and all the buildings were constructed according to the standards for a Level 8 disaster.
There was also an air-raid shelter nearby, where a group of survivors had already gathered.
These survivors aren't doing nothing; they're building houses nearby in preparation for the large influx of survivors who will arrive later.
Zhou Haoran quickly arrived at Commander Xiao's office, where he was the head of the military research institute.
"Knock knock knock".
"Please come in."
"Report, Commander Xiao, I am Zhou Haoran, the captain of the Xuanying Special Forces of the Southern Military Region. According to orders from higher command, I am stationed in the east of the city to assist the air-raid shelter troops in the east. I am here today because I have discovered that there are not only mutated zombies, but also mutated animals, and there may be mutated plants in the future."
You mean mutated animals and mutated plants?
"Yes, Commander Xiao. I saw some mutated animals on the road today, including a 3-meter-tall octopus and a squirrel that was stronger than an adult kangaroo. These are all unusual. As for mutated plants, it should only be a matter of time before they appear as well."
Commander Xiao was initially puzzled, even wondering if Zhou Haoran was hallucinating. But after hearing his description and the emergence and mutation of zombies, he wondered why there couldn't be mutated animals and plants.
This immediately piqued his interest, and he asked Zhou Haoran, "Have you caught any mutated animals?"
Now, Commander Xiao is also eager to broaden his horizons and see what these mutated animals actually look like.
But Zhou Haoran answered simply, "No."
Ah... this... Commander Xiao originally wanted to conduct research as soon as possible, report to the Central Committee, and let the research institute in City A gain some prestige, but now he is told that the result is that they did not catch them.
To be honest, it was a bit of a pity, but Commander Xiao immediately asked Zhou Haoran: "Do you know where those mutated animals are now? Or how can we catch them? The most important thing now is to catch them first, so that the research institute can carry out targeted research, and maybe even discover the cause of the mutation."
The more Commander Xiao talked, the more excited he became, as if the success of the experiment was already in his grasp.
Zhou Haoran frowned, looking at Commander Xiao's state, feeling that something was amiss.
Research on zombie mutations has been underway for some time, and they even tried every means to rescue the biology and virology professors from Josai University and place them in the research institute, but so far there has been no progress.
However, Zhou Haoran can understand why the emergence of new mutated species is so attractive to researchers.
But he remained clear-headed and told Commander Xiao, "I don't know where they are now because we haven't fought them, so I can't confirm their abilities. But since they exist, there must be mutated animals in other places as well, which can be studied."
"Yes, yes, if it exists, we can definitely find it." Commander Xiao had already started making a phone call, which was an internal emergency device, probably to report the situation to his superiors.
Zhou Haoran quietly slipped out and arrived at the construction site of the air-raid shelter, where the survivors were all busy working.
He suddenly realized that perhaps the survivors of their hotel should also find something to do.
Otherwise, there will be a lot of trivial matters to deal with every day, which will consume manpower.
Coming here has given him some inspiration, and he has decided to make new arrangements when he gets back.
At this time, Yuewu had already driven to Jingyuan Lake in the south of the city.
This used to be a popular spot for people to take a walk after dinner, but now only a few scattered zombies can be seen.
Following the instructions on the scroll panel, Yue Wu arrived here, only to discover a very serious problem.
That indicates that the recent meteorite fragments were in the lake.
For a moment, Yuewu was in a dilemma; she was a landlubber and couldn't swim at all.
She had tried to learn in the orphanage when she was a child, but every time she drank her fill of water, she could only kick her legs and her body would still sink into the water, so she gave up.
She was at a loss, but Octopus stepped forward with a smug look on his face.
“Master, I’ll go down and find the meteorite fragments. It’s a piece of cake for me.”
Yuewu: "That's right, our Octopus is a clever little devil. It was smart before, and now it's the overlord of the water. I'll leave the rest to you."
After a barrage of compliments, Octopus was completely overwhelmed and happily jumped into the water.
Everyone thought that this meteorite fragment would be easy to obtain, but an unexpected incident occurred.
Not long after the octopus entered the water, many bubbles appeared on the surface of the water in the distance, and the lake water churned as if it were boiling.
Everyone sensed something was wrong, and Yuewu immediately called out, "Octopus, how are you? Are you alright?"
However, they did not receive a timely response from Octopus, and all the friends began to worry about Octopus.
