Chapter 62 Mutated Water Snake
Yin Shan felt distressed when he saw the team of cats and dogs that had become wilted due to the sudden rise in temperature. He took out the ice pads he had stored earlier and placed them in the shade under the city wall, signaling the animals to go there to rest.
Tang Xiao's voice rang out over the intercom: "Big Sister, the ice is starting to melt. There are no abnormalities at the moment."
Yin Shan told him to keep an eye on the situation, then secretly congratulated herself on the upgraded defense system. She had just read the instructions. It was truly fireproof, waterproof, and robber-proof. She had been a little worried about the impact of the melting ice on the mountaintop on the base. Now, as long as she was careful, there wouldn't be any major problems.
Moreover, they basically live halfway up the mountain, and there is also a villa area at the foot of the mountain. If the base recruits more people to expand in the future, the villa area at the foot of the mountain should also be cleared out.
Yin Shan arranged for the residents to boil some mung bean water to prevent heatstroke due to the sudden hot weather.
In extremely hot weather, apart from the revived mutant animals, heat stroke and mosquitoes are the most terrifying.
Not to mention heat stroke, the mutated mosquitoes are enough to cause trouble. Once these mutated insects form a large scale, they can even destroy a small base.
"Academician Li, among the mutant animals that Xiao Zhang and his team studied before, were there mosquitoes, flies and the like? I don't think the pesticides on the market can deal with mutant animals." Yin Shan took out the walkie-talkie and asked.
Li Guangnian said, "There are no flies or mosquitoes, but we are researching and developing insecticides. These animals have some commonalities in their evolution. Even if our insecticides can't kill the mutated mosquitoes or flies immediately, they can at least slow them down, making it easier for us to catch them."
Yin Shan said, "Well, I'll leave it to you. Monkey and I are going to go out and look for some more supplies. Is there anything the research institute needs? If we're lucky, we'll bring it back directly."
Li Guangnian suggested, "Take Wang Lu with you! She graduated from the Virus Research Institute. I can't think of anything you might need right now, but if you encounter any emergencies, she might be able to think of some supplies to stockpile."
Yin Shan responded and told Yin Zhiwen, Guan Yunhua and the other two that they were going out to collect supplies. He left some marrow cleansing pills and spiritual lake water behind, and the three of them set off.
Wang Lu said, "The last time we went to the hospital, we really didn't get anything except the equipment. We didn't even know where the doctors were. Logically, there would be survivors with frostbite or something, but there were no people. It was like City A had become a dead city."
Yin Shan said: "In extremely cold weather, frostbite is secondary. As long as you don't freeze to death or starve to death, that's enough.
Aside from some initial food relief, there was no official aid at all. The survivors lived in fear every day. Those who could afford to go to the hospital had already gone to the Kyoto base on their own.
The three of them drove the speedboat. The closer they got to the city, the more clearly they could feel the water level dropping. Yin Shan suggested getting some liquefied gas and electrical appliances.
In this kind of weather, if you use firewood or charcoal to cook, you may get cooked before the rice is cooked.
The two of them had no objection. Yin Shan took out the map, compared it with the offline map he downloaded before the apocalypse, determined the direction, and drove towards the liquefied gas station.
The three drove a speedboat to the national highway and found several tanker trucks with danger signs soaked in water.
Seeing that the surface had not been corroded too badly by acid rain, Yin Shan took out a crowbar and opened the top cover, saying in surprise: "It's gasoline!"
I opened a few other cars and they were all filled with gasoline, and the tanks were full!
Yin Shan was excited and tied the assault boat to a big tree to prevent the tanker from being stored in the space and causing a whirlpool in the water flow, which would overturn the assault boat.
Yin Shan raised his hand and put all four tanker trucks into the space.
Gasoline is a non-renewable resource in the end times, so it’s never too much to stockpile!
After collecting the tanker, Hou Ting suggested, "How about getting another batch of new energy vehicles? We're not short of electricity. Someone planned a battery swap station before the apocalypse, but acid rain hit before construction even began. I don't know how well it's been preserved, so why not give it a try?"
Gasoline will eventually run out, but electricity won't. At least we don't have a shortage of it. And since you have a high-power perpetual-motion generator, it shouldn't be a problem to bring a charging station with you. The most it would be when you're traveling...it's a little troublesome..." Hou Ting felt the more she spoke, the more troublesome it became. Finally, she gave up: "Forget it, just forget I said anything. It's too much trouble!"
Yin Shan said: "As long as there is space, we should take what we can. Just in case it comes in handy, no matter what supplies they are, we can't say they are completely useless.
I know the place you're talking about. We'll go there after we get out of the liquefaction station."
The three continued to move forward and passed a logistics station on the way. Yin Shan sensed the remaining space in the static warehouse and waved his hand to collect all the containers.
I don’t know how high this thing can be piled, but just pile it up!
Delicious!
Arriving at the LPG station, the three discovered many canisters floating on the water. Hou Ting said, "Those floating up are all empty. They appear to be underwater. What should we do? Should we wait for the water to evaporate or go down and fish them out?"
Yin Shan said, "We can't wait until all the water evaporates before collecting it. By then, more people will be out looking for supplies, and we might run into some foolish people. If a real fight breaks out, if this thing explodes, the three of us will be sent spiraling into the sky.
I'll go down and fish it all out, you two stay up there and keep watch."
After that, he took out his diving equipment and went straight into the water.
The water was extremely filthy, with corpses and garbage. Yin Shan carefully avoided it and found the liquefied gas warehouse. He didn't know how many tanks there were, but they were all sunk in the water and stood there steadily. Yin Shan knew he had found the right place.
The vine stretched out from her hand. Yin Shan tied the vine to the concrete pillar and wrapped the other end around herself to prevent the whirlpool from carrying her away. Then she directly collected all the liquefied gas tanks within her sight into the space.
Yin Shan probed into the space with his consciousness and sensed that there were about 3,000 cans of 15KG and more than 2,000 cans of 10KG. With the help of induction cookers and the like, it was enough for the residents to live.
Just as he was about to surface, a huge monster suddenly attacked.
Yin Shan was shocked. A water snake? This thing is even bigger than a reticulated python!
While using his special powers to attack the water snake, Yin Shan secretly cursed what on earth this thing ate to grow up!
Knowing that fighting in the water would affect his flexibility, Yin Shan swam upstream quickly.
Suddenly, the water snake sped up and rushed towards Yin Shan, trying to swallow her in one bite.
Yin Shan didn't have time to dodge. He just threw an empty container out from the space to block in front of him and continued to float up.
Water Snake: Really a dog!
After surfacing, Yin Shan looked around and used vines to send himself to the nearest roof.
Taking out the earphones from the space, Yin Shan said, "There's a large mutant water snake. Get away from this area immediately. I'll take care of it and let you know."
As soon as he finished speaking, the water snake jumped out of the water and headed straight for Yin Shan.
The thunder power flashed in Yin Shan's palm, and a whirlwind suddenly appeared under his feet. He used the flexibility of the wind power and the powerful lethality of the thunder power to deal with the water snake.
The water snake couldn't avoid it and the thunder ball hit its mouth directly.
hiss hiss hiss!!!
Yin Shan frowned slightly. The lightning ability did not seriously injure him. The degree of this guy's mutation was much higher than he had imagined.
The whirlwind pushed Yin Shan to dodge the water snake's attacks continuously. Yin Shan waved his hand and moved in all directions, directly using the air wall to trap the water snake inside.
He condensed a wind cone, aimed at seven inches, and hit it directly.
The water snake sensed danger and tried to escape into the water. Yin Shan's heart sank. She hadn't set up an air barrier underwater, and snakes are vindictive creatures. If she let it escape, it would never stop causing trouble.
While urging the air wall to continue to block the water snake downwards, he accelerated the wind cone to hit it, but it was almost too late.
Hou Ting's voice rang out: "Little guy! Don't run!"
With the gravity ability fully activated, Yin Shan almost couldn't maintain the whirlwind and fell down, and the water snake's movements also became much slower accordingly.
Wang Lu took out a sniper rifle, aimed at the seven-inch position and fired directly.
The bullet slid past without causing any damage.
The water snake was furious and stopped running away. It jumped up and tried to swallow Yin Shan.
