Chapter 368 The Increasingly Strange Planet



Besides plant mutations.

There was also something that everyone found extremely strange.

That is, insects and small creatures such as centipedes and earthworms began to appear on a large scale.

These are not ordinary insects or small creatures, but beings that have undergone evolution and mutation.

For example, that centipede that was more than two meters long had a body that snaked like a giant python, and each segment of its hard shell shimmered with an eerie luster, like an indestructible suit of armor.

For example, the millipede that is more than a meter long makes a creepy rustling sound when its densely packed legs wriggle on the ground.

For example, those cockroaches that are several tens of centimeters long exude a nauseating odor, and their oily shells seem to tell of their tenacious vitality.

And those earthworms, over two meters long, wriggled in the soil like giant pythons, making one's heart tremble with fear.

There are even spiders larger than a person, whose webs span dozens of square meters.

There are also ants that are ten centimeters long, mosquitoes that are several tens of centimeters long, and so on.

As the plants grew and spread wildly, these mutated little creatures, which had been hiding in some unknown corner after the apocalypse, sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

Their appearance has brought enormous threats and fear to people.

This has also made the planet increasingly strange.

For this reason, all the staff working on the edge of the mountains have to wear thick protective suits.

The protective suit is made of special materials and can withstand a certain degree of attack and damage.

Even so, they had to act with extreme caution, every move filled with vigilance.

Moreover, these staff members were closely guarded by soldiers of the Restoration Army.

They were armed with advanced weapons and kept a close watch on their surroundings.

If any mutated creatures approach, they will not hesitate to open fire, using their powerful firepower to repel these threats.

It can be said that the appearance of mutated plants and insects was something that none of the survivors had anticipated.

The core area of ​​Fuxing City.

Inside a large exhibition hall at the Institute of Mutant Biology.

The exhibition hall floor is paved with solid marble, so shiny it reflects light like a mirror.

Bright lights hung from the ceiling, illuminating each specimen in minute detail.

The exhibition hall, spanning several thousand square meters, is lined with rows of tall glass display cases along its edges, showcasing various mutated plant and insect specimens, resembling a strange biological museum.

besides.

There were also many huge skeletons, the remains of the mutated giant beasts that had been killed.

The longest of these giant beast skeletons is nearly 80 meters long; they belong to a level-three giant python that was killed at the time.

Even now, though reduced to skeletons, it still inspires awe.

In addition to these, there are also many zombie specimens in the exhibition hall.

Whether it's T1, T2, T3, or M1, M2, M3.

They even have N1 and N2 specimens.

Jiang Wu and a group of high-ranking officials of the Fuxing Army, as well as key personnel from various departments, were standing in the exhibition hall displaying specimens of mutated plants and insects, listening to a report from Chen Wenyuan, the director of the research institute.

"Chief, officers, we have discovered that the growth of these plants and organisms has entered a slowdown phase. At least we don't have to worry about them growing indefinitely."

"Furthermore, regarding your concerns about plants completely taking over the city, given the current situation, even in uninhabited cities, it would take at least a year before the city is completely swallowed up by plants."

"According to our research, these carnivorous mutant insects prefer zombie corpses and are not so fond of human flesh and blood. In other words, they usually do not actively attack humans, which is good news for us humans."

"However, there are also some insects that pose a great threat to human buildings, such as mutated termites. Modern termites not only destroy foundations but may even actively attack humans."

At this point, Chen Wenyuan smiled and said, "However, those six giant mutated pangolins have a particular fondness for eating these insects, especially mutated termites. If we can breed more of these insect-eating mutated creatures, we will no longer have to worry about insect attacks on our territory."

Jiang Wu then asked, "How do we breed the next generation of those mutated pangolins?"

Logistics Minister Sun Pangzi then said with a smile, "Chief, the people in charge of raising them said that the five pangolins are three females and two males. All three females are already pregnant, and they may have offspring soon."

Jiang Wu nodded and continued, "Are these mutated insects and centipedes edible?"

Chen Wenyuan nodded and said, "It is edible, and it seems to have some health benefits for humans, but I'm not sure yet. It's definitely not comparable to the mutated giant beast."

Jiang Wu laughed and casually said, "As long as we can eat, at least humans will have another source of meat, and those wanderers in the wild won't starve to death."

He now has ample supplies and a city large enough to support millions of people.

But his forces only numbered 120,000.

This made him feel very unhappy.

They were always trying to find as many survivors as possible.

The group exchanged glances, their eyes revealing their respect for Jiang Wu.

The leader truly deserves to be called a great leader who cares about the world and is always thinking about the fate of humanity.

After viewing the exhibition, Jiang Wu and his group went directly to the conference room.

Jiang Wu sat down in the main seat and said directly, "Everyone heard what Old Chen said earlier. In the future, the damage caused by plants and small insects will far exceed that caused by zombies and giant beasts. We should preserve the technological achievements of humankind as completely as possible."

"This meeting mainly discusses two issues: first, how to rescue more people; and second, how to capture more cities and salvage their resources, especially production equipment."

After saying that, Jiang Wu leaned back in his chair.

Wu Tianming then said, “Chief, it has been more than a year since the disaster occurred. Other settlements must have formed outside. The fastest way is undoubtedly to go directly to those settlements and recruit those people. As long as they know how good our conditions are, they will definitely be willing to join us.”

Jiang Wu smiled and said, "Everyone knows this principle, but the world is too big, and our China is too big. How can we know where there is a gathering place? I have flown around in my little yellow car several times, but I have not seen any gathering place."

Wu Tianming said earnestly, "Chief, I have also been thinking about this issue. The best way is undoubtedly satellite exploration."

Jiang Wu was taken aback and asked curiously, "Satellites? It's been over a year since the apocalypse, are those satellites still usable? Won't they fall down?"
