Chapter 283 Heavy Damage
Generally speaking, the zombie virus would not cause living organisms to mutate into this appearance, but the high-intensity radiation after a missile bombing could cause species to mutate.
But the forest outside the unified base has not been destroyed by missiles. How could there be such strong radiation that could cause the animals to mutate into such strange things?
While Jiang Zixuan was observing, Jin Mohan also discovered that something must have just crawled out of the swamp.
On the path leading from the swamp to the outside of the forest, there were traces of wet mud and water, trees were knocked down, bushes were flattened, and there were a lot of sticky unknown liquids.
It is likely that something had already crawled out of the swamp and was heading for the path outside the forest before the two of them reached the camp.
"Baby, leave first."
Jin Mohan called Jiang Zixuan, and the two of them chased after the thing along the traces on the road.
Jiang Zixuan said as she walked, "I suspect that the research institute here is probably testing the fifth-generation vaccine."
"Yeah." Jin Mohan felt the same way.
The experimental subjects used by the researchers are high-level zombies, which are basically equivalent to the fourth-generation mutants.
They used so many high-level zombies and zombie beasts, took out their organs and connected them to the swamp that was like a container. It was very likely that they were testing a more powerful fifth-generation vaccine.
I just don’t know what the people in the research institute came up with in the end.
This thing was quite huge. It went all the way from the swamp to the outside of the forest, knocking down trees along the way and opening up a fairly open path.
Along the way, Jiang Zixuan saw a lot of strange things on the ground.
Shells, maggots, fish, shrimps, and bird wings seemed to be stuck on something, then hooked off by branches or other things, and then fell to the ground.
These scattered "fragments" were all stained with silt from the swamp, which made Jiang Zixuan more and more frightened the more she thought about it.
She really felt that the people in this research institute might have created an extremely disgusting monster.
On the road leading out of the forest, there were not only fallen objects, but also the corpses of many zombie beasts.
But what’s strange is that the deaths of these zombie beasts are very strange.
Parts of their bodies disappeared out of thin air, as if they were swallowed by something.
A giant zombie python with its skin torn apart was clinging to a tall tree, its head hanging to the ground, its upper body hanging on the trunk, and its lower body missing, as if it had been cut in half, with black blood spurting out from the broken part.
A zombie tiger without a head and with its skinny body fell on the side of the road, shaking slightly because its nerves had not been completely severed.
In addition, there are many blood-sucking leeches, mosquitoes, termites, etc. that are as big as basketballs, of which only part of the body is left, and the other part seems to have been cut off.
What they saw should not have been completely swallowed up, and a considerable portion of it might have been absorbed.
Compared to the hustle and bustle of the road, there are almost no zombie beasts to harass you on the way there.
However, the strong smell of blood seemed to cause other creatures in the entire forest to start to stir.
Zombie birds were flying high above the dense forest, making shrill screams. More leeches were crawling on the leaves, and then falling from great heights like raindrops.
The giant pythons in the forest were in turmoil, and tigers, black bears and other creatures were also going wild. They all roared in unison, shaking the entire forest, creating a magnificent spectacle of thousands of beasts roaring in unison.
If you are not in it, you will find it exciting. However, for those who are trapped in the forest, it is undoubtedly like hearing a death horn and sending chills down your spine due to the terrifying atmosphere.
Jin Mohan and Jiang Zixuan quickened their pace and headed towards where Jingchen and the others were.
Jingchen and his friends are on the only way out of the forest. If the monsters in the swamp want to go out, they will inevitably meet.
Although Leng Mo and Jing Chen are strong enough, the risk is too great when facing this unknown monster.
More than ten minutes later, Jin Mohan and Jiang Zixuan stood in the original tent and saw many corpses lying in the messy camp. They were all from Tiger King's gang.
These corpses, like the zombie beasts in the forest, were partially devoured, and the remaining body parts were dyed red with blood.
The bonfire was overturned, and the flames jumped up, igniting a corner of the tent, and the fire shot up into the sky.
Jiang Zixuan checked fearfully, but did not find the bodies of the three people in her family, nor did she find Qian Bao's.
Were they completely devoured, or?
She didn't dare to think too much and quickly exchanged her thoughts with Jin Mohan.
Jin Mohan tried to contact Jingchen and others using the walkie-talkie, but the signal was blocked and there was no response.
The tents are located in a relatively wide and higher area. Standing at their position, they can use night vision binoculars to observe the situation in the distance.
Many people came to the forest to look for supplies, and they were stationed in various corners of the forest.
At this moment, the entire forest seemed to be harvested by the scythe of the god of death. The shadow of death shrouded the dark night sky, and people's panicked screams and cries could be heard everywhere.
Through the telescope, Jiang Zixuan could only see a huge black shadow with bared fangs and claws with the help of the flames in the sky.
The black shadow was probably as big as half a mountain. I couldn't see clearly what it looked like, but its shape was very strange and could not be matched with any creature on Earth.
When things developed to this point, Jin Mohan was no longer in a hurry.
"Go slowly and see how the unified base responds."
"Where's Lai Lai? And Leng Mo and Jing Chen?"
"They're fine." Jin Mohan said confidently.
His confidants will not leave this world because of this little setback.
Jiang Zixuan was still worried and urged Jin Mohan to hurry up and at least meet up with the three people first.
It was not easy to leave the forest and go to the monster.
On the way here, they drove an off-road vehicle and it took them two or three hours. But the road out was messed up by the monster. Either the mountaintops collapsed or the trees blocked the road, so they had to walk.
By the time the two of them reached the relatively open mountain road, it was already bright.
There were many people nearby who, like them, had been rushed out of the mountains because of last night's riot. They were all either confused or shocked, and were discussing what had happened.
Stimulated by the smell of blood, the zombies and zombie beasts in the forest all rioted, resulting in the death of many people. Only one in a hundred managed to come out alive, with heavy casualties.
Among the people present, no one knew the truth better than Jin Mohan and Jiang Zixuan.
After a brief discussion, the two decided to find Jingchen and his two companions first and reunite with them.
When Jiang Zixuan and her friend found Jingchen and his two companions, they were treating their wounds in a safe house outside the forest.
There were many people escaping from the forest near the safe house. They seemed to have fought fierce battles with the rioting zombie beasts. They were all covered in wounds and wailing constantly.
Jiang Zixuan saw Zhou Xiaolai in the corner of the safe house. She was giving simple bandages to Jingchen and Lengmo.
"Lai Lai, are you guys okay?" Jiang Zixuan hurried over.
When Zhou Xiaolai heard her voice, he immediately turned around and shouted in pain, "Zixuan, hurry up and get some medicine, they are both seriously injured!"
Lengmo shook his hand and said coldly, "It's not that serious."
Zhou Xiaolai grabbed his hand and blew air into the torn wound distressedly, saying with tears in her eyes, "How can it not be serious? You are a third-generation superpower user. If this kind of wound is not serious, it should have healed by itself long ago."
