Chapter 46 Hybrids
When they returned to the camp, they dragged the corpses of the aliens along with them.
The law enforcement officer could smell the nauseating odor in the air from afar.
He covered his nose to look at the things that the people accompanying him had dragged back, and snorted as soon as he got close, then moved away when they were more than ten meters away.
Chen Jiang and the others looked puzzled: "Is it that smelly? Why is Brother Lv reacting so strongly?"
Sui Cheng frowned, told them to take the alien corpse a little further away for examination, then walked towards Lu Zhi and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Zhi covered his mouth and nose, shook his head with an extremely unpleasant expression, and said in a muffled voice, "This mutant is a hybrid, and it smells terrible. I feel like throwing up."
His true form is a plant, and plants are very sensitive to smells in the air, after all, they are organisms that survive by photosynthesis.
"What is a hybrid?" Sui Cheng asked, worried that her own smell might bother him, so she took a step back.
Lu Zhi grabbed him, pulled him into his arms, nuzzled his neck, and whispered, "Chengcheng doesn't smell bad."
Sui Cheng was speechless, not knowing what to say. He could smell the blood on his own body, yet the lawyer still said there was none. What was this? Double standards?
"You haven't answered my question yet," the attendant said sternly.
“A hybrid is a hybrid. It’s formed later in life. Different species devour each other, and then some special species will merge with the one that was devoured, with the genes of two different species mixed together.” Lu Zhi explained to him, “Even if such hybrids have strong attack power, they won’t live long. Their bodies are like they carry toxins, and sooner or later they will poison themselves to death.”
"And what about you?" Sui Cheng remembered that Shan Qiu had said that the reason why the plunder was chasing the law in Xinghai City was because its special ability was a very special devouring ability. He had never had a chance to ask him before, but now that he remembered it, he asked it.
Lu Zhi chuckled and nuzzled his ear, whispering, "I possess purifying properties myself, so this won't work on me."
Upon hearing about purification, Sui Cheng grabbed Lu Zhi's arm in disbelief, his eyes filled with astonishment.
Only after Lu Zhi released him did he belatedly realize that it was possible that what he wanted was not to devour this ability, but rather the purification that Lu Zhi himself possessed.
"Is your treatment related to purification?" Sui Cheng asked in a deep voice.
The law enforcement officer was also uncertain, neither nodding nor shaking his head.
"Perhaps."
…
From that day on, they would always encounter many different species.
The servant sensed something was wrong and wondered if something major had happened deep within Mount Meng.
He immediately consulted with the captains of the other four teams, reported the news to the Party team, and then listened to their opinions.
Xu Fei thought that sending someone who could run fast would be enough.
Isn't this just specifically naming Madrid as the destination for the accompanying personnel?
But Madrid was indeed the most suitable candidate, so the passenger handed over the task of reporting to him.
"It's going to rain." Not long after leaving Madrid, Lu Zhi glanced at the clear sky and suddenly said this.
Others found his words rather strange; it was a sunny day, so why was it about to rain?
The passenger, who trusted him, asked in a low voice, "When?"
Based on the humidity level in the air, Lu Zhi estimated and said, "About two hours."
The attendant immediately instructed Chen Jiang and his men to reinforce the campsite in preparation for the upcoming rainy days.
Xu Fei and the others didn't understand why the servants believed the words of a sickly man so much.
As for why they called the law enforcement officer a sickly fellow, we have to go back to three days ago.
Three nights ago, the camp was suddenly attacked by some alien species.
At that time, there was a plant-type mutant among the mutants that could release hypnotic gas, causing the mutants on night watch outside to fall into a deep sleep, and even those resting in the tents were affected.
At the most critical moment, a vine wrapped around the alien species and flung them all away. Then, the accompanying ice and lightning powers were used simultaneously, using ice to keep the alien species out while unleashing a barrage of thunder.
After the alien species that emitted hypnotic gas died, Xu Fei and the others quickly woke up from their slumber and hurriedly helped Sui Cheng deal with the alien species.
Just after dealing with the alien species, Lu Zhi walked out coughing and vomited several mouthfuls of blood in front of everyone.
Xu Fei and the others were terrified, thinking that Lu Zhi had been injured by a different species. However, Lu Zhi casually said that he had been sleeping. So Xu Fei and the others gave Lu Zhi the identity of a sickly person.
Getting back to the main point, two hours later, dark clouds did indeed appear in the sky, and quite large ones at that. A gust of hot, humid wind blew by, and they felt that a heavy rain was about to hit.
But they're still up in the mountains, and if they encounter a mudslide, they're doomed.
“I remember there was a cave over there when we searched before,” one of the captains said, pointing westward.
Xu Fei nodded. He remembered that there was such a cave. It was man-made and the interior was made of reinforced concrete, so it was very sturdy and could at least keep out the wind and rain. Moreover, the space inside was not small.
"What do you guys think, Captain?" Xu Fei asked the others for their opinions.
At this point, taking refuge was the priority, so everyone quickly agreed, packed their belongings, and hurried toward the cave.
When we were halfway there, the rain started to fall in large drops.
The lawyer quickly draped a raincoat over the attendant and led him away.
When they arrived at the cave, the rain was pouring down, but they didn't get very wet. This was because Chen Xuan was clever and used his superpower to create a water shield to block the rain from falling on him. Seeing this, the other superpower users also used their superpowers to block the rain.
The cave was more damp than they had imagined, so they quickly put down the supplies and checked to make sure nothing was missing.
Lu Zhi twitched his nose and smelled something strange. It was coming from the very back of the cave and smelled something similar to the stench of a hybrid species.
"There seems to be something inside." Although he spoke to the person in the passenger seat, his voice was neither too loud nor too soft, so that the others could hear him.
"No way, we've been here before, and there weren't any alien species here," someone said skeptically.
Lu Zhi never cared about other people's opinions, so he ignored the person and continued to say to his attendants, "There's a strange smell, similar to those alien species."
Sui Cheng frowned, knowing he was referring to those hybrid species.
"Can plant-based ability users really sense danger just by smelling?" Someone asked a question that came straight to the heart, mainly because they didn't believe in the law.
The attendant said somewhat seriously, "Listen to him, go check inside first, and if there's any danger, we can deal with it in advance."
He gave the man who had just spoken a cold look and said, "No matter what it is, you must be aware of potential dangers. Don't let your guard down, or you won't even know how you died."
The man was reprimanded, and a hint of shame appeared on his face, but he was still somewhat dissatisfied. This sickly guy, Lu Zhi, seemed to know everything. He looked like he was just fooling people, but he always managed to be right.
He muttered to himself, "It's not showing up on the explorer."
The probe isn't always accurate; it determines its approximate location by the energy emitted from the alien species.
