Chapter 187 Mutated Plants and Animals
It was winter, and the weather was getting worse.
They originally wanted to wait for the snow outside to melt before going out, but the previous snow had not yet melted before another one fell swoop.
It directly covered the original layer of snow.
Under the temperature regulation of his brother Ji, He Rui did not feel the cold.
But just in case, because he didn't want to stand out. After all, the temperature was already low, and it was still deep winter, so him wearing spring and autumn clothes would look strange no matter how you looked at him.
So he and Ji Changqing changed into down jackets together.
Although compared to Lao Liu's bloated ball-like outfit, what they were wearing was still a bit unusual.
But that was his limit, he didn't want to wear so many layers of clothing that he couldn't walk.
The city is covered with snow and the snow scenery is beautiful.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looking outside, there was hardly a single person in sight.
One day, when he was holding a telescope, he saw a survivor coming out of the window of a building in the distance.
The survivor sat by the window and stepped on the snow. As soon as he stepped on it, he sank into the snow up to his neck.
The height of the snow is now much higher than a person. Fortunately, the snow underneath may be solid, so the person was not completely buried in the snow.
Fortunately, this man had a companion who did not abandon or give up and pulled the guy out of the snow.
But He Rui discovered that these survivors, after rescuing people, still wanted to leave there. They struggled to find a way, trying again and again to open a path in the fluffy snow.
I have absolutely no intention of staying in that building until the snow completely melts before leaving.
Jiang Sheng saw through his confusion at the time and said something meaningful, saying that it was probably because those people had used up all their food and water, so they had to go out.
He Rui finally woke up from his foolish state of being lucky enough to be protected and about to ask questions like "Why not eat meat porridge?" and remembered the cruelty of the outside world.
For the survivors, the shortage of supplies is a matter of life and death.
At first, Jiang Sheng was anxious to leave the library and even tried to strike up a conversation with the fire-controlling evolver. Perhaps he was also worried about supplies and the heavy snow that blocked the road.
But perhaps because they had been together for a long time, Lao Liu himself was also very cunning, and he and Ji Changqing had never worried about food problems.
Their only bag was a large mountaineering backpack, from which they had been taking out food and water. However, even after such a long time, it had not been emptied, and the bag had not dried out much, so there was still some stock.
The other party must have seen something, so they no longer worried about supplies and were no longer as anxious as those survivors, scratching their heads and trying to go out to find food and water to survive.
....
In the white world outside the hotel, there are few survivors.
But there were a lot of animals.
He Rui felt like this place had become a remote mountainous area, close to the habitat of wild animals, rather than a city.
After all, from childhood to adulthood, except for zoos and scenic spots, he has never seen so many messy small animals in the city.
He also didn't know whether the animals had run down from the nearby mountains or escaped from the zoo.
There seemed to be a layer of ice on the top of the snow, which could withstand small and light animals running across it.
Therefore, the animals passing by are usually small animals.
As for the beast with a lot of weight.
Although he also heard a lot of random calls, the sounds were quite far away. Just like the wolves before, he could not see where the animals were.
He Rui felt that the city was becoming a bit like the Chernobyl no-man's land.
Many years after the disaster, humans no longer lived there, so animals and green plants occupied the entire city.
It's the same here.
At first glance, there was not a single person in sight.
Compared with animals, humans have become a rare species, which makes He Rui feel sad.
What's even more terrifying is that his brother Ji will introduce the small animals to him when they appear.
This is a mutant tiger-striped neck snake.
That's a mutant lion cat.
There are also mutant blue foxes and mutant rabbits...
According to his brother Ji, there are almost no ordinary animals among the small animals passing by downstairs nearby, all of them are mutants.
And every time a small animal passed by downstairs, the background music that sounded particularly dangerous would always sound in his mind accurately in advance.
It was also because of the BGM that he was able to discover the presence of mutant animals outside every time.
The tense background music actually indirectly confirmed that the little animals that Brother Ji mentioned were not as well-behaved and harmless as they looked.
But he never imagined that the frequency of animal mutation and the appearance of mutated animals in cities would be so high.
You can see at least one or two a day.
But so far, he has only seen one evolver.
He Rui wondered if all living animals had mutated.
He couldn't quite tell the difference between mutant animals and ordinary animals.
Only when he carefully observed a few mutant animals through a telescope did he find that they were indeed different from normal animals, such as rabbits.
The mutant little white rabbit passing by downstairs did not look like a normal rabbit. It had a unique temperament and looked very smart. It would turn its head to observe the surroundings and look upstairs.
But when he looked at most of the mutated animals, he felt that they looked just ordinary, with no changes at all due to mutation.
According to his brother Ji.
Mutated animals are not like humans, who can develop superpowers after mutation.
Basically, their IQ just increases and their own strength becomes stronger.
The attack power becomes stronger, the attack speed becomes faster, the defense becomes stronger, and the character becomes ferocious.
They will also prey on humans due to food shortages.
When He Rui heard this, he understood why the BGM reminded him of the danger for such a small animal.
He Ruigao glanced at the background music that he had ignored for a long time.
I thought to myself, fortunately he still has a BGM, which can help me predict the danger from mutant animals in advance.
I thought, I should be more careful when I go out in the future. In addition to natural disasters, I should also start to be wary of animals.
He had to watch the road carefully, pay attention to the changes in the music, and observe any movement outside.
Don't let it fall into a dog's mouth as soon as you go out and get eaten by the dog.
The big dog in the manor, which had always wanted to bite him when it saw him, raised its two front paws and stood up to a height that was almost up to his shoulders.
If you say that this large dog can eat people, he will definitely believe it.
But rabbits eat people.
He Rui couldn't imagine what it would be like when a rabbit's three-lobed mouth crunched on people.
He Rui thought, "Who cares? No matter what kind of animal it is, even if he sees a dung beetle in the future, he will be on guard."
No matter how big the animal is, treat it with respect.
Be careful not to get bitten to death.
His brother Ji then told him that the basic appearance changes of most mutated animals in the first generation are not particularly obvious.
The offspring of mutant animals will have more obvious changes in coat color or body shape.
It even seems that they will possess more terrifying combat capabilities and intelligence than the first generation of mutant creatures.
The mutated plants, due to their simple structure and the influence of radiation and viruses, cause their DNA to mutate at an unprecedented terrifying speed, and the plants evolve rapidly.
The variation is very obvious.
If more ancestral characteristics are lost, individuals of the same plant species may evolve in completely different directions at the same time.
