395. The human-headed elephant is looking for Bai Cheng...
The nostrils of the elephant and the human head are connected, and as it breathes, a stream of hot air comes out of the nostrils.
It clearly saw Zhu Ning's exact location. His black protective suit was too conspicuous, and his helmet continued to flash in the snow.
Zhu Ning's back slowly arched, his shoulders tensed, and he stared motionlessly ahead. They were like two wild beasts that suddenly met in the wild. Lin Xiaofeng was the cub beside Zhu Ning, but the size difference between them was too great. The other could crush her to death with just a kick.
During the eye contact phase, you must not relax your gaze, as this is an important opportunity to estimate each other's strength.
Zhu Ning frowned. Even though the other party couldn't see her expression because she was wearing a helmet, she couldn't relax. Body language can express a lot.
Lin Xiaofeng didn't dare to move, her whole body was stiff. She glanced at the outdoor temperature which had dropped to minus 18. She was only wearing a single layer of clothing under her protective suit. She didn't touch Zhu Ning's body, which was simply frozen.
She was caught off guard by the sight of the human-headed elephant across from her. This was probably the largest pollutant she had ever seen, except for the basking shark under Utopia.
No one spoke. A blizzard swept through the sky, a white gale sweeping across the sky. It sized up the two creatures that had suddenly appeared, its nostrils emitting hot air at an increasing rate. Lin Xiaofeng guessed this was some kind of omen.
Puff——
The human-headed elephant almost spit out a stream of hot air in anger. The next second, the entire ground suddenly trembled, and the surrounding snow shook violently, rolling like soybeans on a sieve.
The thing came running like a moving mountain, swinging its trunk.
It ran like a bulldozer, pushing away the snow in an instant, and the heavy snow raised up, reducing visibility again.
Zhu Ning still didn't move, like a bullfighter seeing a wild bull in the wild.
Lin Xiaofeng watched Zhu Ning's back tense, and he began to feel nervous. Was he not going to run? Was Zhu Ning planning to hunt? Or was he trying to tame the animal? Both of these speculations were alarming.
The size of the human-headed elephant was still larger than she had expected, probably more than twenty meters tall. As the distance got closer, more details began to emerge.
She thought the human-headed elephant was similar to a mammoth, at least covered with a layer of fur. In fact, it was covered with fur, but it was more like the texture of human white hair.
Lin Xiaofeng was still thinking when the huge monster was right in front of her. Through the snow and fog, the human-headed elephant was too huge and cast a shadow. She tried hard to restrain her instinct and did not run away.
Still not moving? Lin Xiaofeng's heart was beating so fast that it almost reached his throat. He glanced at Zhu Ning out of the corner of his eye. Zhu Ning's back was bent to the lowest point.
Suddenly, her body bounced out like a bow stretched to the extreme, and when the human-headed elephant was only five meters away, she suddenly ran to the left.
Lin Xiaofeng was so nervous at that time that she forgot that her body was still connected to Zhu Ning's. She felt a sudden tug at her waist and a sharp wind blowing past like a blade, while the human head rushed towards her like a train with no brakes.
Lin Xiaofeng staggered and was pulled by Zhu Ning, brushing past the human-headed elephant. With this glimpse, he could see its details. The original part of the elephant's head was still there, but it had lost its function. The elephant's eyes were dim, like two extinguished light bulbs.
Lin Xiaofeng could feel the pressure from the other party, and if he was accidentally caught under the elephant's feet, he would definitely be crushed into meat paste.
With a bang, Lin Xiaofeng's body fell into the snow. The human head seemed to have rushed over his head, and rushed forward more than ten meters by inertia, and immediately turned around to continue attacking.
"Xiaofeng!" Zhu Ning suddenly shouted, "Go up!"
Lin Xiaofeng's body was suddenly thrown up, and the rope between Zhu Ning and her was stretched. Lin Xiaofeng herself was like a thrown weapon, and when she reacted, her body was already suspended in mid-air.
Zhu Ning's words were extremely concise, but Lin Xiaofeng actually understood them. She adjusted her breathing while spinning in the air like a gymnast performing difficult moves. For a moment, she no longer felt cold, and the blood in her body was boiling. The exercise made her feel more lively.
Visibility was still low, as if we were suddenly thrown into fog, and only vague huge shadows could be seen.
A rope around Lin Xiaofeng's waist was still tied to Zhu Ning's hand, making her feel extremely safe, and all her attention was on the enemy.
Right now.
Lin Xiaofeng's body began to fall due to gravity. She narrowed her eyes and did not use any weapons. For a person with great strength, her hands are the best weapons.
Lin Xiaofeng's body touched the human head like two high-speed spheres colliding. She clenched her fists and smashed down with all her strength when she landed.
boom--
She heard a roar, and she first landed with her fists, and then other parts of her body began to follow. The protective suit automatically opened for defense, but her body could not stop rubbing against the human-headed elephant.
Humans cannot clash with human-headed elephants on the ground, as they would easily be caught in the elephants' feet and trampled to death. It is easier to fight from above.
After Lin Xiaofeng was thrown by Zhu Ning, she was obviously in great pain all over, but she did not stop her movements. She threw the second punch, and the third punch, fearing that she did not have enough strength, and kept punching down.
Her strength could easily push down the walls of a house. The human-headed elephant made a wailing sound, which was a combination of the sounds of humans and elephants, as if a living person was stuffed into the elephant's trunk and crying for help. The sound was so weird that it made people feel sick.
Lin Xiaofeng was a novice and didn't know when to stop, but she refused to give up. The result was that the human-headed elephant completely lost control, shaking its head like a mad bull. In desperation, Lin Xiaofeng grabbed the elephant's hair, which was like grabbing a handful of human hair.
The human-headed elephant's spine was attacked, and its two front legs fell forward uncontrollably, while Lin Xiaofeng, who was on the elephant's back, felt like a landslide.
She grabbed her hair tightly, as if it was not hair but reins. Soon, she saw a black dot in the confusing snow fog. The rope around her waist began to shrink, and Zhu Ning fell from the sky.
She seemed to have come through the wind and snow. The rope became a connection point. The next moment, Lin Xiaofeng felt her back tighten. Zhu Ning had already fallen behind her. His warm arms tightly embraced her from behind, preventing her from falling off the human-headed elephant.
Lin Xiaofeng stopped attacking, and the backbone came.
The elephant's back was more spacious than a flying car, and could accommodate at least four people playing cards. Zhu Ning climbed onto the elephant's back, and the thread of his consciousness unleashed, extending along the long trunk.
She looked ahead, one hand covering the elephant's skin, and the trunk was quickly pulled up.
Chila——
The inertia of the forward dive finally stopped, and the human head and elephant limbs all knelt down, and the wind and snow that were raised did not stop for a long time.
Lin Xiaofeng was still in shock. In fact, the whole process only took a few minutes at most, and her head was still buzzing.
"Are you hurt?" Zhu Ning asked.
Lin Xiaofeng probably only had minor injuries, so he answered simply, "No!"
Zhu Ning breathed a sigh of relief. She had never fully recovered, and now her entire body ached as if it was about to fall apart. Her vision was a little black, and she suppressed the sweet smile at the corners of her mouth. She rubbed Lin Xiaofeng's head, but because he was wearing a helmet, she could only rub the helmet. "Well done."
Lin Xiaofeng felt a little proud after being praised and completely forgot about his minor injury.
Lin Xiaofeng felt that the creature below was not dead yet. It was breathing heavily and making wailing sounds. She was a little hesitant whether to finish it off, so as to avoid any more trouble.
Killing the headless elephant should be able to get food. So much meat will probably last for a long time. Lin Xiaofeng thought of the movies he had seen before. He thought that he could probably cut open the elephant's stomach and hide in it to keep warm, which would just solve the problem of supply shortage.
But Zhu Ning did not give any orders. Instead, he covered the hair with one hand and, following the thread of consciousness, pulled up the elephant's trunk, revealing a bruised and swollen human face, still gasping for breath.
The two faces looked at each other in confusion.
Zhu Ning couldn't get used to it no matter how many times he saw it. How did this evolution happen? The elephant's original face seemed to have lost its function, while this human-like head could see, breathe, make sounds, and even speak.
His purple lips opened and the sound that came out was a noise.
Lin Xiaofeng originally wanted to kill him, but he hesitated when he saw the human face. It was really difficult to tell whether this was a human or not.
Is he talking?
What if this was once human? What if he still retained his human instincts? Perhaps he wasn't trying to attack, but simply wanted to say hello?
Lin Xiaofeng got goosebumps all over his body, and once the thought came to his mind, he couldn't stop.
What kind of creatures are there in the North?
"Many polluting organisms are not that harmful and can coexist with humans. It is humans who are prejudiced against pollutants." Lin Xiaofeng thought of Pei Shu's words. Lin Xiaofeng used to be in charge of driving and often listened silently.
Pei Shu lived with mutant guinea pigs for a period of time. Sometimes, even if a creature mutates, its nature will not change.
Thinking of Pei Shu, Lin Xiaofeng's expression darkened for a moment. He started to think of him frequently as soon as he entered the North.
Zhu Ning stared at the human head. After a while, the human head stopped talking, and then the elephant's back shook. It probably wanted to struggle to stand up.
Zhu Ning patted the elephant's back, released Lin Xiaofeng's waist, and used the natural hair on the elephant's back as a rope to slide down from the elephant, reaching the elephant's legs, which were as thick as telephone poles.
Zhu Ning's thread of consciousness wrapped around it, and the elephant's legs trembled as it slowly stood up.
Lin Xiaofeng was still very nervous, afraid of being attacked suddenly, but also very curious, so he asked, "Can you understand what it says?"
How come Zhu Ning could communicate? Perhaps they had even reached some kind of agreement. Did the Alpha series test subjects have this ability?
Zhu Ning shook his head, "No, I can probably understand."
All living things want to survive. Unless they are sick, they don't want to die as long as they can live. Otherwise, why would the people of God go through so much trouble?
Although the human-headed elephant cannot understand what is being said, it can probably understand through eyes, and it does not want to die.
The thread of Zhu Ning's consciousness acted as an auxiliary support. The elephant fell several times, but actually stood up again.
The skin of the human-headed elephant is very strong, and its spine was not broken even under Lin Xiaofeng's powerful attack.
After Zhu Ning helped it stand up, she turned over and returned to her back. She touched the elephant's back and waited quietly, starting the second round of confrontation.
The human-headed elephant can sense Zhu Ning's true self. There is a very rough rule of communication between animals. The one on its back is a carnivore, whose instinct is to devour.
It bared its teeth and made a final struggle, which only took a few minutes. Lin Xiaofeng could see that it had given up. Its tense body muscles began to relax, and it didn't even try to throw them off.
Zhu Ning also changed her strategy. Her threatening gesture became a soothing one. She stroked the elephant below and asked, "Is there any food or healing potion?"
"Huh?" Lin Xiaofeng thought she had misheard. How could Zhu Ning share so much with a pollutant? And could the healing agent be used on a pollutant?
Lin Xiaofeng directly refused: "No."
Just kidding, she was reluctant to use it, she just endured the injury and had only one last bottle of healing agent left in the bottom of the box.
"Give it mine, I don't want to eat it." Zhu Ning said.
Lin Xiaofeng was angry and took out a nutrient supplement from her backpack like a miser. As soon as she took it out, the human-headed elephant suddenly turned its trunk and stretched its neck in front of Lin Xiaofeng.
Zhu Ning: "It seems like he was really a human before."
It knew what the healing agent was. The skin covering its body was like armor, and only the head and neck parts could penetrate it, so it took the initiative to expose the vulnerable parts.
It has some wildness in it, but also some traces of domestication.
A member of the Northern Adjustment Group? Zhu Ning didn't recognize this face, but perhaps Pei Shu would recognize him if he were there.
Lin Xiaofeng felt even more complicated. The skin connecting the human neck and the elephant trunk made her feel uncomfortable. Lin Xiaofeng held her breath and still felt that it was a monster.
The other party did not struggle when the injection was completed. After the injection, he even smiled to express some kind of gratitude.
Lin Xiaofeng was stunned. Zhu Ning asked, "Are you scared?"
She shook her head violently, too embarrassed to say that she found this thing disgusting, fearing that the human-headed elephant would understand and be sad.
Lin Xiaofeng became even more depressed when he thought of this. Why should he care about the mental health of a pollutant?
Considering the physique of the human-headed elephant, one nutrient supplement is not enough. Zhu Ning is not so naive as to think that he has completely tamed it. Its instinct must be to eat humans, but Zhu Ning's presence suppresses its nature.
Zhu Ning thought of Li Xin, his first friend in this world, who also struggled repeatedly with her eating instinct.
Could this human-headed elephant be a non-natural human? Simply not fully evolved? Where are its kind?
The north wind was howling, and they looked very small in the ice and snow. Zhu Ning did not find the buoy that Pei Shu mentioned.
She stroked the elephant's body, and black mucus flowed on the surface of her eyeballs, revealing the polluted part of herself. In addition to the coercion, it also expressed another message - I am one of your kind.
"Find me the body." Zhu Ning tried to communicate with it. She wanted to find Bai Cheng.
