Chapter 107 Spy Beast Tide + Extreme Cold
The 502nd day of the end of the world, November 16th.
"boom!"
Qiao Qiao put away the exhausted mechanical arm and switched to shooting. Her mission today was to fight guerrilla warfare, and the main attackers were Xiao Qiao and Qiao Man.
“Ouch!”
With the fall of the last invading mutant animal, the offensive and defensive battle finally ended. Xiao Qiao and Qiao Man jumped into Qiao Qiao's arms, and the dragonfly flapped its transparent wings and flew away.
"Thank you, Mr. Cat!"
"Master Xian Teng, thank you!"
"It's so popular." Qiao Qiao rubbed the calico cat and the vines.
With their good looks and powerful fighting force, they actually have a considerable number of fans, most of whom are children.
"Meow." Xiao Qiao sneezed and hugged his head with his paws.
Qiao Qiao immediately picked him up, "What's wrong? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Xiao Qiao shook his head. He didn't quite understand, but he just felt uncomfortable. His teeth were itching all day long and he was upset.
Qiao Qiao frowned and checked her body but found nothing wrong. She had been in this state for a while and felt uncomfortable whenever she went out.
But no problem was found, and even after taking X-rays to the vet, nothing was found. Fortunately, as long as I stay at home, I won't feel uncomfortable, so I can only attribute the cause to external environmental problems.
Originally, she didn't plan to take Xiao Qiao to clean up the beast tide, but it firmly disagreed with having a cat at home alone.
Qiao Qiao secretly decided in her heart that unless the situation was extremely critical, she would not go out during this period of time.
At night, the electric heater under the bed works diligently, making the ten square meters as warm as spring, and the temperature remains at around 25℃.
The experiment at the No. 2 Research Institute was facing an emergency again. Qiao Huizhou and Qiao Xinghe were often woken up in the middle of the night to rush over for the rescue. In the end, they just lived there to avoid the hassle.
Now there are only four creatures in the family: Qiao Qiao, Yueying, Xiao Qiao and Qiao Man.
Qiao Qiao sat cross-legged on the bed, Yueying lying behind her with her chest open, revealing her snow-white skin with countless red marks on it.
He supported his face with one hand and played with Qiao Qiao's freshly washed hair that was spread behind her with the other hand, his face full of satisfaction.
If we were to say who is the happiest person in the family, it would of course be the man in front of me. He changes his ways to seduce people every day. Now he has a pair of white fox ears on his head, and his snow-white tail gently brushes the thigh of the lover in front of him.
Qiao Qiao remained calm and leaned on him to review her recent life.
As of today, Qiao Qiao and her parents have drawn cards 40 times respectively. In order to prepare for the half month it takes for Qiao Qiao to grow a tail, and to obtain more advanced cards, the draw was divided into two times, for a total of 100 R-level cards.
Mutant Repellent*10
Small protective cover * 10
Primary treatment cabin*2
Special cold-proof clothing * 30
Rifle＊4
□□＊3
Wood Card * 28
Electric heater *6
Insulation film *7
Three small protective shields and 10 special cold-proof suits were left at home, and the rest were all traded with the federation.
Qiao Huizhou and Qiao Xinghe also had military ranks, both becoming colonels, and they were only one opportunity away from being promoted to generals. In addition, Qiao Qiao and his parents were each rewarded with 30,000 contribution points.
Contribution points have become numbers for the three of them. Whether it is Qiao Qiao's every effort to expel mutant animals, or Qiao Xinghe and Qiao Huizhou's No. 2 Research Institute, earning contribution points is an extremely easy matter.
This month, the Northwest District has been in constant trouble. The temperature has dropped to -40℃. Special cold-proof clothing is scarce, and people in the outer city areas can only survive by relying on heating in shelters.
The cold-proof clothing invented by the No. 1 Research Institute has been distributed, but unfortunately the quantity is scarce and it is currently only circulated among the military and high-ranking officials.
Compared with the beast tide, the harm caused by extreme cold is already very weak.
The beast tide continues, with a small-scale attack every day. Although there are only a dozen mutant animals, it also has a considerable impact on the defense; there is a large-scale attack every five days, with hundreds of animals each time, and they are getting stronger and stronger. Recently, even a mature mutant animal appeared!
Fortunately, there are other advanced card drawers defending in places that Qiao Qiao can't reach.
Countless mutant animals are a buffet for Xia Momo. Her card [Momotaro's Rice Ball] can control animals, and the success rate depends on the opponent's ability.
Currently, he has five large beasts under his command: snow leopards, Saker Falcons, polar bears, black bears, and northeastern beasts. Among them, the snow leopards, Saker Falcons, and polar bears are in the growth stage, while the other two are in their infancy and have just evolved from ordinary animals.
She took the opportunity to capture a young mutant jackal, but unfortunately she could only capture one per month, otherwise everyone wouldn't have to fight so hard.
For ordinary people, the only benefit of the beast tide is that it brings a lot of meat. Although most of it is taken away by people in the inner city and midtown, they can also eat the meat scraps. Isn’t it true that the lunch for one contribution point from the Federation also includes a bowl of meat soup? Everyone is satisfied with the slightly oily taste.
The only strange thing was that the beast tide came in a strange way. Qiao Qiao didn't understand why they would rather die than come, like moths to a flame.
Even if there is a lack of food due to the extreme cold, they can kill each other. There is no need to fight to the death in the shelter. What's more, this place is full of the smell of repellent that mutant animals hate.
Could it be that there is something extremely attractive here?
As she was thinking, she felt sleepy and closed her eyes. She was still tired from the excessive physical exertion.
The next day, the 503rd day of doomsday.
"Huh?" Qiao Qiao drew a card he had never seen before from the blind box.
[Weakened Willpower Card: Special package for interrogation, double the effect when used with the Mind Reading Card]
She thought of the several strange people they captured during the migration. It was said that Wang Fuyun had not obtained anything valuable from them until now.
As nothing happened today, Qiao Qiao decided to go and see it for herself.
Xiao Qiao was still feeling as uncomfortable as ever, so she left it and Qiao Man at home, while Qiao Qiao and Yueying went together.
After contacting Wang Fuyun in advance, he gave the address, which was a prison in Midtown.
“This is it.”
Qiao Qiao got off the car, and in front of him was a majestic prison. It was said that this was originally where serious criminals were detained in the Northwest District, and it had subsequently been under the federal government's key custody.
After the apocalypse, many serious criminals were directly sent to reform the city. Few survived, and most of those imprisoned now are card drawers. They relied on their high-level cards to do whatever they wanted, either killing ordinary people or making a lot of money and destroying the market environment. All of them behaved badly.
There were many guards at the gate, and before they could intercept him, Qiao Qiao displayed his major general badge. Yueying put away the RV and followed silently behind.
After passing the open space in the courtyard, Wang Fuyun stood in front of the prison gate waiting.
"Miss Qiao."
"Mr. Wang."
The two of them greeted each other briefly and followed him into the prison. Wang Fuyun led the way and explained the situation.
"The situations of the 26 criminals you arrested are complicated. Currently, 25 of them have been interrogated. They claimed that they had joined an organization called 'God's Descent' and were only low-level members of the organization." At this point, Wang Fuyun frowned.
"According to what they told us and our intelligence, this organization appeared long before the natural disaster. During the extreme cold period, it expanded on a large scale with abundant supplies. Now it has grown to a considerable size. The most terrifying thing is that we can't find out the origins of the leader of this organization."
"Before the natural disaster hits..." Qiao Qiao thought, "Maybe the person in charge has a doomsday card drawing system in advance and is well prepared."
"What you said is exactly what I speculated. The key point lies in this person."
Wang Fuyun stopped in front of a one-way glass. A bearded man with bloodshot eyes sat in the interrogation room. A high-brightness lamp was placed in front of him. This was obviously an interrogation method that prevented the person from sleeping.
Although the man looked disheveled, Qiao Qiao recognized him at a glance as the man in the white robe in the strange city on the migration route. It was he who summoned the fully mutated animal - the golden eagle.
Wang Fuyun introduced: "This person is a senior member of the organization, but unfortunately his willpower is incredibly strong. Even with all the interrogation methods and my mind-reading card, the clues I got are still limited."
"Really?" Qiao Qiao thought thoughtfully. If he could summon a golden eagle, he might be able to summon other mutant animals. Would the strangeness of this beast tide be...
She took out a blue R-rated card and said, "If the Mind Reading Card alone doesn't work, try adding the Willpower Weakening Card."
"Okay." Wang Fuyun took the card and went into the interrogation room to use it himself.
"What? If you have any new tricks, just use them. I said that I would never betray God." Even though the man was in a very miserable state, he still maintained his arrogant attitude. Unfortunately, his attitude did not last long.
As the card dissipated, the effect quickly became apparent. The man's eyes became more and more confused, and finally empty.
Wang Fuyun understood that the card was effective, so he immediately used the mind-reading card to ask, "When did you contact the organization? What is the organization's plan? Who is the person in charge of the organization? How many people are there in the organization? Tell me everything!"
"I..." The man showed a painful expression, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and it was useless even if he resisted desperately.
Wang Fuyun repeated the question.
The man looked dazed and spoke slowly.
"I met the messenger of God on the tenth day of the rainstorm. At that time, all my family members died because of the gray fog. I was trapped in the rental house and had no hope. When I was about to commit suicide, the messenger of God appeared and gave me a card - □□, and provided me with materials and recruited personnel."
"The messenger of God said that humans are sinful, and all natural disasters are punishments from God. Only by believing in God and giving everything for Him can we be redeemed."
Wang Fuyun couldn't understand, "You used to be a highly educated intellectual, how could you believe such words?"
“Heh.” The man chuckled. “You don’t understand. The messenger of God really has divine power. He can conjure up many things that are beyond the times out of thin air. Otherwise, how do you think the system came into being? This is the way of salvation sent down by God.”
The man became more and more excited as he spoke. "The most important thing is that the messengers of God will really help us! During the gray fog, the hospital didn't even care and sent us home to die. I could only watch my family members die in pain. During the heavy rain, you sent a helicopter to pick up the rich people in the opposite community, ignoring the ordinary people struggling in the water! Even... the existence of paradise!"
Wang Fuyun acknowledged the problem the man raised, but he believed that this was the best option the Federation could make. "Who is the head of the organization? What is your plan? Write down all the names you know."
This time the question seemed to touch upon key information. The man's expression was distorted and painful again. "I...we...cultivate and promote the reproduction and evolution of mutant creatures. The purpose is...for humans to believe in God...and to break through the northwest region...poof!"
The man stuttered, then vomited blood and fell to the ground.
Wang Fuyun's face was gloomy. Now he understood everything. The ancient cypress in the capital area, the golden eagle in the northeast area, the mutant shark in the southeast area, the thorn in the northwest area...
The mastermind behind the sudden appearance of overly powerful mutant creatures turned out to be this "God's Descent" organization!
I didn't expect the next target would be the Northwest region, so the recent beast tide...
His face became darker and darker, but unfortunately the man didn't know who the real leader of the "God's Descent" organization was.
The Federation had sent out many investigation teams before, but all of them returned empty-handed. With such a strong anti-reconnaissance awareness, coupled with a large amount of supplies and cards, this opponent is extraordinary.
Qiao Qiao stood in front of the window, feeling that a storm was about to come.
