Chapter 121 Mutated Hen
Chen Qingqing: "..."
"I guess they ate too much and were too lazy to move."
Chen Qingqing said in a low voice.
Comfort really leads people to destruction - the same is true for chickens.
This insect disaster is simply a gift from nature for them. When the insects attack, they don't even need to fly up to catch them. They just open their mouths and the food will fly into their mouths automatically.
Most beasts often appear in deep mountains and old forests, and will never hunt in this forest near the outside.
Without their natural enemies, they became extremely lazy in just a few days.
Now their vigilance against humans has also dissipated.
As long as humans don't get too close, they won't have an extreme reaction.
Cong Xin whispered, "Sister Qing, this distance is too far. My ability probably can't reach that far."
Chen Qingqing: "Then let's get closer."
Lao Lu sighed softly, "These chickens are really fat."
"If we can really bring them back to the base, it will definitely solve a big problem."
He stared at Cong Xin, his eyes full of expectations: "Sister, it depends on you."
Cong Xin was actually not confident in herself, but seeing Lao Lu's eyes full of expectations, she could only nod in agreement.
The three of them bent forward cautiously until they were close enough. Chen Qingqing looked at Cong Xin, who nodded: "Sister Qing, I can only try to freeze the chickens within the range of a tree."
Chen Qingqing whispered back: "That's enough."
Cong Xin did not hesitate any more, turned around and stared at the tree not far away seriously.
The broken ice began to spread from under her feet, winding through the fallen leaves and moving towards the tree.
It reached the roots of the tree and climbed up along the bark. The rustling sound of the broken ice was covered by the wind blowing the fallen leaves.
A chicken stood up and shook its feathers, looked around vigilantly, and squatted down again.
The temperature was nearly minus twenty degrees Celsius, and beads of sweat appeared on Xin's forehead.
Before this, she had never manipulated her supernatural powers so delicately.
The cold air spread along the branches, slowly freezing the claws of the mutant chicken resting on the branches.
One, two...
Lao Lu's eyes gradually brightened.
Suddenly, a chicken near the tree trunk wanted to stand up, but suddenly found that it could not move.
It began to struggle violently and let out a piercing scream.
This wailing quickly alarmed the other mutant chickens.
Lao Lu shouted anxiously: "Hurry! They are going to escape!"
Cong Xin was also anxious, and she immediately controlled to speed up the spread of ice.
But as the mutant chickens jumped up and flew away, the next second, a rooster that was twice as big as the mutant chicken rushed out from the bushes behind, flapping its wings and rushing straight towards the three people.
"Get out of the way!"
Chen Qingqing shouted, but fortunately the three reacted in time and avoided it.
"Cong Xin!"
Chen Qingqing turned her head and found that the mutant chicken that was twice as big as the mutant chicken had a clear target, and it was only chasing Cong Xin to attack.
Chen Qingqing immediately pulled out her gun and aimed at the mutant chicken.
"Bang!"
"Damn it!" Chen Qingqing cursed.
The mutant chicken was too fast and she missed.
The battle-hardened Lao Lu also fired a shot, but also missed.
Cong Xin fled in a hurry, having completely forgotten how to use her superpowers. Chen Qingqing could only run while shouting at her: "Cong Xin! Come to me!"
There was really no other way, so Chen Qingqing could only bring Cong Xin into the space. Cong Xin ran towards
Chen Qingqing as if she had seen a life-saving straw.
Chen Qingqing stretched out her hand to her, and just before she touched Cong Xin, she heard Lao Lu shouting: "It's gone!"
Cong Xin threw herself into Chen Qingqing's arms, too scared to look back.
Chen Qingqing hugged Cong Xin and looked up.
Sure enough, the mutant rooster had returned to the branch, staring at the two people vigilantly with its big eyes.
No... to be precise, it was staring at the gun in Chen Qingqing's hand.
Chen Qingqing narrowed her eyes slightly, raised her hand and pointed the gun at it.
It suddenly flew up and flew into the depths of the woods without looking back.
Chen Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief until it could no longer be seen.
"It's gone." Chen Qingqing patted Cong Xin on the back.
The latter sniffed, raised his head cautiously, and looked around with red eyes: "Is it really gone?"
"It should be the leader of this group of mutant chickens, and it just wants to protect its companions."
"Come on!"
Lao Lu's voice rang not far away.
The two looked over and saw Lao Lu trying to climb up the tree where the mutant chickens were frozen.
Although the other mutant chickens were startled just now, there were at least twenty of them frozen on the tree.
Lao Lu looked old, but his physical condition was better than that of young people. He climbed up the tree in a few steps.
He put on protective gloves, held a net bag in one hand, and grabbed the chickens with the other hand and stuffed them into the bag.
Cong Xin came to her senses and followed Lao Lu under the tree, grabbing and thawing one by one.
Because the freezing time was not long, the chickens' claws were not frozen, but these chickens were frightened and it would take a while for them to recover.
Lao Lu caught all the chickens with sweat all over his forehead and put them into the iron cage at the back of the truck.
He looked at the chickens fluttering around eagerly: "Can these be bred?"
Chen Qingqing nodded: "Yes. I have already told Wu Yue the breeding method, you can just take them back."
"However, the cooking method of eggs and chicken is quite special, I have already told Wu Yue the specific method."
"You must warn other people in the base not to eat them without permission, otherwise they will be poisoned."
After knowing that chickens cannot be cooked without permission, the base will not have internal strife because of fighting over chickens.
"Great, don't worry, I will definitely explain it to everyone."
Lao Lu's face was full of gratitude.
"I missed you so much before... I really shouldn't have."
Chen Qingqing smiled: "You are also thinking about the base. It's so rare for Wu Yue to have someone as responsible as you to help her with things."
"I share the honor and disgrace with the base now, how can I be angry about such a thing?"
Lao Lu smiled from the bottom of his heart: "Shall we go back together?"
Chen Qingqing: "We have something else to do, you take these chickens back to the base first, don't wait for us."
"Tell Wu Yue not to worry about us, we will be back soon."
Lao Lu knew that Chen Qingqing and the others had their own arrangements, so he didn't ask any more questions and drove back.
Chen Qingqing took Cong Xin back to the woods.
Cong Xin looked confused and a little scared: "Didn't we just catch them? Why are we here again?"
Moreover, they were frightened just now, and those mutant chickens ran away without a trace. Even if they wanted to catch them now, they couldn't see any chickens.
Chen Qingqing made a gesture to keep quiet.
"Don't be anxious, wait and see."
Cong Xin didn't say anything else, but her heart was full of doubts.
What are you waiting for?
Could it be the big rooster just now?
Cong Xin felt a chill on her back when she thought of the big rooster, and she couldn't help but move closer to Chen Qingqing.
But soon she saw what Chen Qingqing was waiting for.
A plump hen was walking around in the woods. Her wings were shorter than those of the chickens in the trees. It seemed that she couldn't fly, so she could only walk in the woods.
