Chapter 253 Strange Taste
When Yan Zijin and Tang Ran finished their conversation, Jiang Zhan glanced at them seemingly casually and happened to see the slightly distorted expression on Tang Ran's face.
Jiang Zhan's eyes darkened and he narrowed his eyes slightly.
Yan Zijin also noticed that someone was looking at him at this time, and he couldn't help but feel alert.
He suddenly raised his head and saw Jiang Zhan's cold eyes that had not yet been retracted.
Yan Zijin was stunned and felt the blood in his body turn cold.
Why does this man have such a dangerous aura?
Why would such malice be directed towards him?
Did he hear the conversation between him and Tang Ran just now?
But he didn't say anything just now... Are you suspecting that he is coveting the mutant wolf?
No, that's not the point!
The key point is... at such a long distance... how could this man hear their conversation?
Yan Zijin's thoughts turned in a whirlwind, and he felt both shocked and alert.
This kind of aura can only be possessed by those who have been in a superior position for a long time.
But he had read Jiang Zhan's information and didn't find anything special.
Even if he had a certain social status before the end of the world, he should have known the truth and behaved himself after the end of the world, right?
He is the captain of the number one mercenary hunting team in the survivor base in City G. Even if Jiang Zhan is not a person who likes flattery, he should have basic courtesy and respect for him, right?
But this inexplicable hostility...what exactly is going on?
While Yan Zijin was still thinking and struggling, Jiang Zhan had already withdrawn his gaze, and the coldness in his body subsided, and he looked at Qiao Yu gently again.
Qiao Yu stroked Wang Zha's furry head, his eyes filled with surprise, but he still scolded her with a hint of anger: "Why aren't you listening? Didn't I tell you to stay home?"
Wang Zha made two "嘤嘤" sounds and wagged his big tail wildly, as if he was acting coquettishly with Qiao Yu.
"It's okay, it's okay." Cheng Sinian was busy explaining to everyone, "This is our mutant beast. It's not dangerous. Just relax, everyone."
Chu Yi also recognized Wang Zha, so he quickly asked the mercenaries around him to put down their weapons.
Professor Shen was originally frightened by Wang Zha, but when he saw how well-behaved and smart Wang Zha was, he approached Wang Zha with some interest and took a look.
Wang Zha was very hostile when he met a stranger. He bared his teeth and made a warning sound of "woooo" at Professor Shen, but was gently patted twice by Qiao Yu. "Wang Zha, this is a guest. You can't be so rude."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zha immediately retracted his fangs, lowered his head obediently, and lay down quietly.
Professor Shen was stunned by Qiao Yu's blurt-out "king bomb", but then he smiled and shook his head.
Although the name is strange, Wang Zha's series of actions still made Professor Shen marvel.
After the apocalypse, this was the first time he had seen such a human-like mutant beast.
Professor Kang saw Professor Shen's interested look, so he came over with his chin raised, and said with a slightly smug look on his face, "Are you envious? This is a natural mutant beast!"
"Department of Natural Science?!" Professor Shen's eyes widened upon hearing this.
You have to know that after the apocalypse, tamed mutant beasts are already extremely rare, let alone natural ones, which are practically a dime a dozen!
"Can I touch it?" Professor Shen asked Qiao Yu softly.
"Of course." Qiao Yu nodded with a smile, "It's very obedient and won't hurt anyone at will."
After getting permission, Professor Shen carefully stroked the hair on the side of Wang Zha's face, but he only touched it lightly twice before withdrawing his hand.
"It's such a long way, and it's thanks to Wang Zha that he can catch up." Cheng Sinian tilted his head and touched Wang Zha's big face.
"Our king is very smart!" Luo Zhenzhen said with a smile.
Qiao Yu smiled lightly, but then called Yu Qingchuan over, "Qingchuan, ask Wang Zha if he encountered any problems?"
She was still a little worried, after all, Wang Zha had never acted alone without following orders before.
Yu Qingchuan followed his instructions and walked to Wang Zha, making a series of "chirp and grunt" sounds. After listening to them, Wang Zha also responded with a few "wooooo" sounds, then stood up and motioned Qiao Yu to follow him.
Qiao Yu looked at Yu Qingchuan with confusion.
Yu Qingchuan frowned and whispered, "Wang Zha said he made some discoveries. Let's follow him."
Qiao Yu pursed her lips, exchanged glances with Jiang Zhan, and then briefly said hello to Professor Kang and Professor Shen. She then left the camp with Cheng Sinian, Luo Zhenzhen, Yu Qingchuan, Hua Yue, and others, following Wang Zha.
"Where is Wang Zha taking us?" Cheng Sinian asked in a low voice with some confusion as he walked beside Yu Qingchuan and Hua Yue, holding Luo Zhenzhen's hand.
"I don't know." Yu Qingchuan shook his head. "It didn't say it just now. Maybe it can't describe it."
"Just follow along."
Wang Zha and a few others walked further and further along the way they came, until they reached a small pond and stopped.
Wang Zha leaned forward, half-crouching in front of a giant bush not far from the edge of the pool, and turned his head to look at Qiao Yu.
Qiao Yu understood and walked forward cautiously.
"What kind of plant is this?" Cheng Sinian followed Qiao Yu and took a look. He found that what Wang Zha directed their attention to was a slightly petite, light red plant that looked very much like a dodder.
"This smell is a little familiar." Yu Qingchuan suddenly frowned.
The smell of this plant is not strong, and Qiao Yu and others have no impression of it, but Yu Qingchuan is very sensitive.
He was certain he had smelled this scent before, but for the moment he couldn't quite place it.
"Ah ...
Just as Yu Qingchuan was racking his brains to think about where he had smelled this scent before, Wang Zha beside him let out another low cry.
When Yu Qingchuan heard Wang Zha's shout, his face instantly darkened and his brows were tightly furrowed.
Seeing that Yu Qingchuan looked unhappy, Qiao Yu also frowned, "Qingchuan, what did Wang Zha say?"
Yu Qingchuan and Hua Yue exchanged a glance and pursed their lips. "Wang Zha said... it smelled a scent near our home after we left, and then tracked it all the way here."
"But after it got here, the smell was everywhere and it got confused and lost track."
Qiao Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "So... that smell is the smell of this mutant plant?"
"Yeah." Yu Qingchuan nodded, "And Wang Zha said there are a lot of these plants around here."
"besides……"
Yu Qingchuan's face became even more serious.
"Wang Zha said... many people in the camp also have this smell."
