She said calmly, "Think about it from another perspective. This family won't have many good days left."
"H City is a hotbed of Mansonia schistosomiasis. The mutant plants there aren't as harmless as they appear. They're just a frog in boiling water."
Zhou Feifei said, "Just now, the drone scanned the streets and I noticed that many people were showing symptoms. I'm afraid this schistosomiasis will break out soon, and then these people will just want to flee."
Hong Shao shook his head: "I'm afraid they can't escape. There's something I forgot to tell you."
"Boss, didn't you give me a phone with video footage of Hong Dushan on it before you left? I handed it over, but looking at the current situation, the higher-ups have chosen to conceal it."
"Our original mission this time was to investigate the situation in the wilderness outside the city. There were some villages there, and we discovered something there."
Kestrel took a deep breath and told about the plants in the village houses that ate human bodies.
"The reason we entered the forest was actually to avoid the mutated plants." Hong Jian smiled bitterly. "Those plants wanted to eat us, or rather, they didn't want us to leave. Later, we fled all the way to the forest meadow and thought we had escaped, but then we encountered other mutated creatures..."
Then they fled deeper and deeper and encountered mutant monkeys.
The Forest Owl and the Iron Lion were kept as a snack by the small monkey group at the outpost, while the Kestrel and the others were given to the large monkey group.
That night, Shi Man and his team saw not only the red kestrel and the blue bear, but also two torn-to- pieces corpses nearby. However, before the four of them, several of their teammates had already died at the hands of monkeys.
The Kestrel and the Blue Bear witnessed with their own eyes how their teammates were toyed with and finally eaten by the monkeys.
To be honest, the fact that the two of them were able to hold on without going crazy shows that their mental strength is strong enough.
"Speaking of which, what's the situation with those two puppet monkeys?" Sun Anni looked at Shi Man: "Boss, can you still sense their situation?"
"They're dead." Shi Man shook her head, but she didn't feel sorry. To be honest, she felt very disgusted with those monkeys. Even if they were tamed, she didn't want to keep them around.
Meng Xiaodao said, "It's better if he's dead. It's strange, Sun Wukong is so lovable, but monkeys in real life are really disgusting."
"Sun Wukong is, after all, a creature that has been processed and beautified through literary manipulation." Ellie pushed up her glasses and said, "Based on psychological research, humans and monkeys are both primates and have similar genes. Coupled with monkeys' anthropomorphic behavior, it's easy to trigger the 'uncanny valley effect.'"
"They're neither human nor inhuman. It's easy for humans to instinctively reject such creatures."
"In fact, it is because the similarities between monkeys and humans make us humans feel that our 'dominance' is threatened."
Meng Xiaodao clapped his hands repeatedly. "Right, right, right! I was just trying to describe it. It's the 'Uncanny Valley Effect,' especially that S-level Calamity-grade monkey. Its eyes are so human-like that I get goosebumps just thinking about it now."
Fortunately, the monkey's body is now lying in Shiman's space warehouse.
"Let's wait for Qiongbo to fly back and then we can start our journey home."
Shi Man took a deep breath, looked around at everyone, and said with a grin, "When we get back, we'll start a breeding farm!"
"Let's get started on the evolutionary business!"
"Survival of the fittest, let's give it a try!"
Everyone's eyes were fixed on him, and they put their hands together.
