Chapter 12 Foraging Foraging



Faced with the octopus larva's arrogant demeanor, Zhou Jinze: ...

Never mind, never mind, it's still a cub.

Zhou Jinze was only worried that Qian Yuan might fall off his head.

He observed for a while before noticing that the little guy's tentacles were gripping his helmet tightly and very forcefully.

If Chiyori were human, she definitely wouldn't be able to do this with her toes.

He even had the audacity to want to become human.

Unbeknownst to him, Zhou Jinze had also begun to develop his own four-dimensional thinking.

When he came to his senses, he realized that he had also started thinking about some inexplicable things.

They were all infected by the cubs.

Zhou Jinze was helpless.

Zhou Jinze has been feeling helpless many times lately.

"We have left the safe zone and are approaching the area where the anomaly occurred."

"Please remain vigilant and maintain radio silence."

"We're getting closer to the target, 1 kilometer, 500 meters, 200 meters..."

Zhou Jinze was the first to arrive at the destination.

He carefully plucked the octopus seedlings off his head with a crisp "pop," and then placed them in his chest pocket.

Even Qianyuan could sense the tense atmosphere among the humans at this moment.

He only showed his head, staring ahead with Zhou Jinze.

"Advance team, set off with me."

Zhou Jinze used the communication system to call a few people to join him. For large and dangerous anomalies like this, the people at the forefront are the suicide squad.

They were gambling with their lives.

Even Zhou Jinze, a veteran of countless battles, couldn't guarantee anyone's survival. He only hoped that his team members would be extremely careful and minimize the number of casualties.

Zhou Jinze took a deep breath and was the first to step into the area of ​​the anomaly.

Lingtian Building.

That's right, not living things, but an entire building that has been monstrous.

The building has seven floors. The bottom two floors are a shopping mall, and the upper floors house offices, hotels, restaurants, and other facilities. Before the monsters polluted the entire city, this was one of the most prosperous areas in the city.

Everyone in City A is very familiar with this place.

But now, Zhou Jinze, holding a gun, was on high alert, paying close attention to everything in front of him.

Wow……

Only the octopus seedlings, who were on guard for Zhou Jinze one second, were now unable to resist looking at the children's playground in the mall the next.

The surrounding area was desolate, without a single person in sight. The only sound in the empty shopping mall was the nursery rhymes coming from the rocking cars in the children's playground.

That pale, mechanical voice would make anyone feel eery and frightened, and they would want to stay as far away from that place as possible.

Only Qianyuan was immediately drawn to the colorful ocean of bubbles inside.

After all, he had never been to a place like this before.

Zhou Jinze felt unsafe and wanted to change locations, but the little octopus refused to comply, rummaging around in his pocket. He was afraid the little guy would hurt himself again.

"Oh well."

Zhou Jinze led Qianyuan closer to the children's playground.

The octopus seedlings couldn't wait to jump off Zhou Jinze into the machine, but Zhou Jinze grabbed them and held them back.

"etc."

Zhou Jinze frowned as he looked at the human-shaped doll curled up in the corner of the children's playground.

If he's not mistaken, these kinds of dolls are usually played by people dressed in clothes.

The doll was huddled in the corner with its knees drawn up to its sides, and it didn't look like it was just an empty shell.

While Zhou Jinze was trying to stop Qian Yuan, he had already stepped into the children's playground.

In an instant, when Zhou Jinze looked up again, the doll was already standing in front of him.

He was about the same height as Zhou Jinze, but his huge rat-like head gave off an invisible pressure, coupled with his unfocusable glass eyes.

It was watching Zhou Jinze, but Zhou Jinze couldn't find where it was looking.

Zhou Jinze looked at his reflection in those lifeless pupils. He tried to raise his gun, but found that his body could no longer move.

Without realizing it, he could only follow the puppet's movements.

The doll reached out its hand, he reached out his hand, the doll turned its head, he turned its head, the doll clapped, he clapped.

The doll took off its own head.

So he...

"Awoo."

A very small sound rang out, and Zhou Jinze was brought back to his senses.

He instinctively reached for his pocket.

My pockets are empty.

The next second, he vaguely saw something blue flash by, and Zhou Jinze then shifted his gaze from the ground back to the doll.

Only then did Zhou Jinze notice that the little octopus fry, with a resolute gesture, bit down on the conspicuous nose of the mouse doll.

The doll was stunned in disbelief for a moment, and tried to shake off the octopus seedling, but Qianyuan just hung there and wouldn't let go.

Zhou Jinze was startled and hurriedly reached out to take it, only to find that the anomaly inside the doll had been drained at some point.

Or perhaps the contamination inside was eaten by the octopus larvae.

The toy fell to the ground like it had fallen apart. Zhou Jinze hurriedly caught the octopus seedling back in his hands, preventing the little guy from suffering the same fate as the toy.

Although the process was a bit unsightly, at least the cubs ate.

So Zhou Jinze felt a sense of relief after the close call.

"Are you full? Would you like to eat more?"

Zhou Jinze seemed completely oblivious to the danger that had just occurred. If the cubs weren't full, he was willing to continue using bait to help Qianyuan catch prey.

Qianyuan let out a small hiccup.

He smacked his lips and continued to open his mouth wide.

Zhou Jinze immediately understood what Qian Yuan meant.

It's delicious, I want more.

But the little one also likes the children's playground and doesn't want to move.

Zhou Jinze originally wanted to persuade him to go out for dinner, but seeing the joy in the baby's eyes, he chose to spoil him instead.

I've decided to wait until Qianyuan has had her fill of fun before making any decisions.

However, those abnormal monsters seemed to have been equipped with GPS tracking; instead of chasing after the other researchers, they all surrounded Zhou Jinze.

Zhou Jinze was unaware that because of his actions, after being marked by the powerful pollutant, humans would taste many times better, and the monsters that devoured him would gain even stronger mental power.

Zhou Jinze thought these monsters were all after the octopus seedlings.

After all, octopus larvae are just juveniles, and in this dog-eat-dog world, this is the law of nature.

Zhou Jinze had already planned to help the little guy deal with these monsters one by one.

Qianyuan was happy to relax; he just opened his mouth wide and waited for the delicious food to be delivered to his door.

It doesn't matter if Zhou Jinze can't handle it, he can.

Both of them thought they were the ones taking care of the other.

By the time the monsters realized that there were not only delicious humans here, but also something even more terrifying, half of their companions had already perished.

Finally, the little guy let out a burp.

However, the scent of this spiritual energy was rather faint, not as pleasant as the fragrance emanating from the building itself.
