Zhao Xian felt a little regretful. Why didn't he put the person in front of him?
Seeing that he was hidden, Qiao Xuejun felt relieved.
He asked again: "If all three groups have walked around and still can't find it, then I'm going to apply to change groups. During this time, I followed the brothers from group three and walked around all the places that should be walked."
The three groups are specifically responsible for patrolling the survivor settlements, which are all areas of human activity and where the danger level of mutant creatures is the lowest.
The other groups were not so safe, especially Zhao Xian's team, which had to fight with mutant creatures almost every day.
When the team is over, they are often covered in blood.
But at the same time, the places they go are places that are rarely visited by humans, so the possibility of discovering plants is greater.
The smile on Zhao Xian's face faded slightly: "I'll arrange it."
The two returned to the team, and Zhao Xian issued tasks to each team, emphasizing the key points:
"Attention, all teams. Recently, mutant creatures have been gathering and attacking more aggressively. If you encounter more than five mutant creatures, please report them immediately and evacuate first. During the evacuation, please pay close attention to the safety of medical staff and expert teachers. Is this clear?"
"clear!"
"Set off."
·
Today, three groups were on patrol, and as usual, they first went to record the water level on the mountainside and make new water level marks.
Afterwards, they patrolled outward in a circle following Hongmei Mountain in order.
We dealt with several small mutant creatures on the way.
Qiao Xuejun dissected the mutant creature's stomach as she did in the past.
Shan Falcon next to him watched Qiao Xuejun's movements and said, "Teacher Qiao, you are getting faster and faster."
When Qiao Xuejun first joined the team, his movements were still a little unfamiliar, and it took him ten minutes. But now he is very proficient, and with a flick of the knife, the mutant creature was cut into pieces in two or three minutes.
Qiao Xuejun checked the contents of the shrimp's stomach: "There are still plant fibers, it doesn't look like seaweed."
Having seen the stomachs of so many mutant creatures during this period, she has figured out that the color of seaweed is darker, similar to the gray-green of kelp, but this light green does not look like seaweed.
There are definitely plants there, but they are not in the patrol area of Group 3.
Judging from the digestion rate, it took a while for the food to be eaten and not just now.
After listening to Qiao Xuejun's analysis, Shan Falcon said, "Ten kilometers away, there are several settlements of these small mutant creatures."
Qiao Xuejun nodded: "After these few days, I'll go over there to take a look." Since there is a gathering of mutant creatures, there is most likely a stable source of food nearby.
Not finding any new clues, Qiao Xuejun dropped the remains of the mutant creature in his hand and stood up: "Let's go."
The last place is the farthest from Hongmei Mountain, Keji Mountain, and it has the least people.
When we got here, it was getting dark.
Huo Antu's research institute is on the top of the mountain. They usually patrol the surrounding area and have never met Huo Antu.
But today, as soon as he approached the top of the mountain, Shan Falcon's eyes immediately became sharp. He stared at one place and made a gesture: "Be on guard!"
The rest of the people were all on alert, ready for battle, with their guns drawn.
Shan Falcon quickly moved to the place he had noticed before, which was only forty or fifty meters away from the research institute on the top of the mountain. There was a long drag mark on the ground, as if something was being pulled away from this place.
His nose twitched: "It's the smell of a sea lion."
He squatted down to check again and saw traces on the ground: "...footprints. At least three sea lions were nearby, dragging something back to their nest."
Shan Falcon frowned: "When did a sea lion nest appear nearby?"
He carefully examined the traces again: "The person who was dragged away was a human, a male, about 1.7 meters tall."
Qiao Xuejun's heart moved slightly. This place was so close to the research institute. Could the person who was dragged away be Huo Antu?
He looked towards the research institute and said, "Dayuan, go to the research institute and ask."
Qiao Xuejun looked at the mark and it really looked like the mark left by a sea lion. Sea lions do not have regular feet like other animals, but more like a tail, so the movement marks left behind are also unique.
Zhao Xian had said before that if they encountered more than five, they had to retreat, but there were only three traces here.
The warrior codenamed Great Ape stepped out and trotted quickly to the research institute.
He went to knock on the door and a man came out. He was wearing a white protective suit and a blue medical mask. He was talking to the big ape, and one could see the anxiety between his brows.
After a while, it seemed that he had not reached an agreement with the Great Ape. He walked over here and went straight to Shan Falcon: "Sergeant, my assistant came out to collect supplies this morning, an hour ago. You are patrolling nearby, I wonder if you have seen him?"
Shan Falcon went up to him and persuaded him: "Professor Huo, it's dangerous outside, please go back first, we will try our best to find someone."
It turns out this is Huo Antu.
Qiao Xuejun felt slightly disappointed that it was not him who was dragged away.
Huo Antu asked, "You didn't see him either? He has only been gone for half an hour. You should be able to find him soon if you act now. I still have a lot of edible meat and canned fruits in my laboratory. If you can help me find him, all of these can be given to the First Base as a thank you gift."
all?
Qiao Xuejun was slightly surprised. Canned meat and canned fruit were very expensive. It seemed that this assistant was very important to Huo Antu.
Shan Falcon said, "Professor Huo, calm down. You don't have to send the canned food. We will definitely find the person."
Qiao Xuejun was watching quietly outside, so the person who was dragged away was Huo Antu's assistant.
Huo Antu: "I'll go look for it with you."
Shan Falcon raised his voice and said, "Professor Huo, if you delay for a while, we will delay for a while. It will not be of any help to us if you follow us. I hope you can calm down and go back and wait for our news."
Huo Antu was about to say something when suddenly, the howling of wild beasts was heard around him.
Qiao Xuejun felt the ground beneath her feet was shaking.
It seemed like some huge monster was coming.
Shan Falcon's expression changed: "Oh no, it's a beast tide."
As soon as Shan Falcon finished speaking, a group of mutant creatures suddenly appeared. They emerged from behind the institute's house. It was unknown how long they had been lurking behind the institute's house, but now they came out in droves.
Huge shrimps and crabs, led by a group of sea lions, swarmed in with fangs and bloody mouths.
“Bang, bang!” Shan Falcon fired in that direction and shouted, “Attention all units, give priority to protecting experts and professors! Teacher Qiao, be alert! Professor Huo, hide behind me!”
"boom!"
In addition to the mutant creatures that attacked people, some mutant crabs were ramming the institute's houses, making loud clanging noises.
Huo Antu's face changed drastically: "There are important scientific research equipment in the house, and the equipment for making vitamins is all inside. We can't let them destroy it!"
"Damn it." Shan Falcon cursed, "All units, pay attention, suppress fire!"
