Exploded

At the same time, in the zoo, Xu Cheng, who was anxiously commanding his men, suddenly raised his head.

Luo Tan is here too?

He didn't have time to think about why Luo Tan also came to the zoo, but for some reason, when he thought that she was there too, he suddenly felt a lot more at ease.

He began to think about the hint given by Luo Chen.

Smell...

"Captain Xu!" Seeing Xu Cheng suddenly stop in the same place for no apparent reason, the team members beside him grabbed the rabbit that suddenly appeared in front of them by the ears and stuffed it into the trap. Then they asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"

Xu Cheng cleared his hoarse voice and said, "Notify everyone and move all the animals as far away from the reptile house as possible!"

He wondered, if animals could be prevented from smelling the odor of the virus, could their symptoms be temporarily suppressed?

However--

After a while, the team member said anxiously: "No, Captain Xu, the animals don't want to leave the area around the reptile house. The smell seems to be attractive to them!"

The only way is to make them unable to smell...

Xu Cheng said decisively: "Then we can suppress it with a more stimulating and obvious smell! Do you have any perfume or something like that?"

Facing Xu Cheng's expectant and encouraging gaze, the team member rummaged around in his pocket for a long time and took out a bottle of dark green stuff.

"Uh, floral water, is this okay?"

.

In the reptile house, the atmosphere of fear has quietly climbed into everyone's heart.

"Hiss..." It's so cold! Someone shivered and pulled his coat tighter. The air conditioner showed that the room temperature was still 25 degrees, but the increasingly severe coldness seeped into the bone marrow inch by inch.

"It's strange. We've been looking for a long time but haven't seen any lizard specimens."

The reptile house had been idle for a long time, and it was requisitioned as a temporary shelter in a hurry, so no one came to clean it. There was a thick layer of dust on the ground and display boards. Apart from that, there were only large empty glass display cases, only a few of which were kept dry and tidy. Most of them had grown dark green moss and water plants due to the residual moisture, and some were covered with spider webs.

The people trapped in the reptile house had nothing to do, so they decided to go out and look for the so-called lizard.

A woman hugged her husband's arm and said coquettishly, "It's so cold, honey, let's stop looking. Maybe that voice is a lie. There is some big lizard there."

The husband readily agreed: "Then let's go over there to rest."

The woman's steps suddenly stopped, her eyes fixed on it: "What a big lizard."

The husband was nearly frightened to the point of having a heart attack. He turned his head in the direction of her gaze and saw a large display board.

A slogan was written on the display board: "The largest lizard existing on Earth." Below the slogan was a photo of a yellow-green lizard lying there, sucking its tongue at the visitors.

As soon as the husband saw the photo, he felt a chill in his heart, as if that cold-blooded animal who was good at disguising itself was staring at him without blinking.

He pulled the corner of the woman's clothes and hurried away: "Let's go over there to rest."

“Bang!”

The man turned around and was shocked.

Somehow, the corner of his clothes brushed against the display board, and the display board fell right at his feet, revealing a huge glass display cabinet covered by the display board.

Among them was a three-meter-long monitor lizard, green in color with densely crisscrossing patterns. Its yellow and black pupils, unique to cold-blooded animals, were staring at him without blinking.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaa—”

...

"I bet the tip of its tongue moved just now." Five minutes later, the man was still trembling with fear, not daring to even look at the lizard.

Visitors trapped in the museum gathered around the glass display case. Someone laughed and said, "How is that possible? It's just a specimen."

The back of the glass display case could be opened, but the original lock was broken. The man reached into the display case and touched the lizard's forked tongue: "Look, how can it move?"

His fingers shrank at the first touch; the damp and sticky touch made him feel very uncomfortable, and a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

"Then what should we do with it?" someone asked anxiously.

After these words were spoken, no one spoke anymore.

Everyone knew it tacitly; they were all waiting for that crucial sound to appear.

Although they had only heard the voice but never seen the person, and they had doubts about the authenticity of the information the person said, but now the lizard specimen was right in front of them!

Even the two stubborn and opinionated people who spoke out loudly before now lowered their heads and behaved themselves, hoping that no one would remember their bold words about swallowing the virus.

Luo Tan was actually also worried.

The system cannot display the predicted scene according to her wishes, but can only display it when a certain result reaches a certain inevitability. At this moment, the picture still shows the rioting animals and the lizard sitting quietly in the glass display case.

"If we destroy this lizard, will the animals return to normal?"

The next second after this sentence came out, Luo Tan suddenly noticed that the screen in the system changed abruptly!

The lizard specimen broke into thousands of pieces, and small pieces of the body scattered into the air. The animals, which had been somewhat under control, suddenly became more violent, breaking through the layers of personnel and hail of bullets and rushing straight to the reptile house.

[The broken lizard will spread the smell further! The situation will get worse! ]

The hands of the men who were about to tear the lizard into pieces suddenly stopped, and they felt a little relieved. Fortunately, they were a step slower.

Luo Chen continued to stare intently at the screen displayed in the system. As the screen changed, she frowned slightly.

[After the group of animals broke into the reptile house, they rushed straight to the lizard specimens. But why did they sniff left and right? Are they looking for something? ]

[Could it be that the lizard itself is not the real source of their attraction? ]

[Ah! It's an egg! There is an egg in the lizard's stomach! That egg is the real target they are fighting for, and it is also the source of the virus! ]

The people who were listening in secret immediately understood that it was because the lizard specimen was destroyed that the eggs in its stomach were completely exposed, further inciting the animals to riot!

However, since it is not possible to tear open the lizard's belly to take out the eggs, we can't just leave the lizard and the eggs here. Even if they are separated by the lizard's belly, the eggs are still very capable of spreading the virus!

It's really helpless.

.

At this time, the police officers are gradually gaining the upper hand in the battle with the animals.

Thanks to the inspiration brought by the bottle of floral water, Xu Cheng successively obtained many dark raw materials such as air freshener, milky perfume, white vinegar, etc.

“Cough cough cough!”

“A-choo!”

"I can't stand it, it's too hot!"

"..."

Although this move hurts both parties, the animals gradually lost their way under the extremely pungent biochemical attack and were driven away by police officers to a side far away from the reptile house. Some of the animals even gradually regained consciousness.

Xu Cheng found Director Zhao and wanted to apply for a container that could isolate all odors.

Today, the security of the entire zoo is under the control of the police station, and his own position is in jeopardy. How dare Director Zhao disobey?

"It's just..." He said with great embarrassment: "The display cabinets in our zoo are all used to raise animals. How could they not be breathable?"

Xu Cheng insisted: "It doesn't need to be able to hold large animals, just small things."

Director Zhao scratched his head for a long time before he found a sealed glass container at the bottom of the drawer, and then took out several metal products from it.

He said helplessly, "Officer Xu, remember to return it to me after you use it. My wife had it specially made for her to store her precious jewelry. If she knew I gave it to someone else, she would beat me to death."

"...I'll use it and return it to you."

Xu Cheng walked into the reptile house. His thoughts were simple: the eggs in the lizard's belly could not be left out, but they could not be taken out without any precautions either.

After entering the venue, he skillfully calmed the frightened crowd and then glanced at Luo Chen.

He told everyone that he would put the eggs in a container that was isolated from odors. During this time, Luo Chen did not react in any unusual way.

While he was cutting open the lizard's belly with a knife, Luo Chen didn't show any abnormality.

But he heard her confused voice:

[It's really strange, why does the prediction interface still show the scene of animals rushing towards the lizard eggs frantically? ]

Just when Xu Cheng finally saw the egg that was sparkling with bright light, he seemed to hear a faint sound.

"drop."

"drop."

"drop."

What's that sound? Is it an illusion?

Xu Cheng was about to put the eggs into the container when he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be ant-sized words written on the white eggs.

Am I dazzled?

He was about to lower his head to take a closer look when he heard——

[No! No! The lizard specimen was not broken into pieces by humans. Only an explosion could cause such an impact!]

At that moment, the brief second was stretched to its extreme length——

Xu Cheng threw the lizard eggs into the glass container at lightning speed, and then tightly closed the lid!

The next second, accompanied by a loud "bang!", the explosion wave hit the entire exhibition hall!

Everything went dark in front of Xu Cheng's eyes. He quickly saw the window glass being shattered by the huge impact. Luo Tan, who was closest to the window, had less support and lost his balance, and fell backwards!

With his last will, he stretched out a hand...

But in the next second, his fingertips brushed past the edge of the girl's clothes.
