Chapter 322 Animal Affinity
In the evening, the heat of the sun in the sky did not diminish at all, and circles of orange glow appeared on the horizon.
A mutant black bear with white wings was flying freely. It flew to the side of the RV and looked out the window curiously.
The black bear's fur was ruffled in the wind, and it blinked its dark little eyes as it flew in sync with the RV.
This is a young black bear with fluffy white fur on its belly. It waved its paws in a friendly manner.
This seems to be the territory of mutant black bears. There are five or six black bears flying freely in the sky. Below is a withered bush forest framed by fences, and there are many scattered wooden houses.
Smoke was rising from the chimney of one of the cabins.
You can vaguely see several big white dogs running wildly in the yard.
"Does anyone live here?" Luo Yunjin observed the nearby terrain. There was no one living around. It was completely in a dilapidated village. The fence was very low and there was no security.
But there are quite a few mutant animals in the yard.
A black bear landed on a bush, suddenly lost its balance, and fell to the ground precariously.
At this time, a man wearing a white old man's shirt and black knee-length shorts walked out of the wooden house next door. He dragged the unconscious black bear to the door and picked up a machete.
Luo Yunjin didn't want to care at first, but seeing his extremely evil move of preparing to kill the bear, he directly urged the bushes, and a vine knocked the machete out of his hand.
The RV slowly landed, and several little flying bears lay on the fence and looked at it curiously.
"What's the matter?" The man's wrist was left with a red whip mark from the vine branches.
"I was passing by and saw you were about to kill a bear." Lin Xi looked at him coldly. There were many mutant animals behind the fence, most of them were well raised, and they were all cubs.
"Killing a bear?" Zhang Tieniu's dark face showed a look of shock. "I didn't, I didn't. Don't blame me! I just saw a splinter stuck in his foot and was about to cut it out with my machete."
The little black bear limped to Zhang Tieniu's side, hugged his calves with his two fat paws, and looked timidly at the two people outside the fence.
Luo Yunjin realized belatedly that this was a misunderstanding.
After a brief chat, she learned that the other party was a person with special attributes and abilities. Mutated animals would have a good impression of him, and zombie animals would not harm him. In addition, he raised many mutant animals, so he dared to live alone. These mutant animals were his greatest support.
The mutant animals he raised had water-related and planting-related abilities, so he and these animals were completely dependent on each other. He was raising the animals, and the animals were also dependent on him.
Luo Yunjin felt that this ability was extremely convenient, and it was great that he could rub the furry creatures anytime and anywhere.
Zhang Tieniu saw that both of them were good people who loved animals, so he warmly invited them in as guests, not worrying at all that they were scammers or had ulterior motives.
The cries of various animals could be heard from the small fenced yard, and they all looked at the two people vigilantly.
Lin Xi held Ah Xun in his arms. The environment here was stuffy and there were no cooling measures in the wooden house. A little yellow duck that could spit out ice was quacking, and every quack would spit out a piece of ice, but distant water could not quench immediate thirst.
The room was still very hot.
Luo Yunjin was worried the child might get prickly heat, so she asked Lin Xi to carry Ah Xun back to the car. She stayed behind to chat with Zhang Tieniu.
Zhang Tieniu is the only one living in this area. Two of the wooden houses are filled with pasture grown by the mutant goats themselves and some simple vines.
Apparently, Zhang Tieniu's usual food is the same as that of these animals. He is very thin, but according to him, he is lucky to have food and drink. In addition, he lives alone, so it's good to be free.
Luo Yunjin intends to bring people to Stone Mountain. There are many mutant animals on the mountain, and there is a severe shortage of people with special abilities who can manage the mutant animals.
She told the other person what she thought.
"I'm from Stone Mountain in Haicheng. We have a lot of mutant animals to raise there. But the conditions up there are very good, and we have plenty of supplies. I wonder if you'd like to join us? You can also bring all the mutant animals you have with you."
Zhang Tieniu was a little surprised. In fact, there were many bases and safe zones that wanted to take him in, but he didn't want to be separated from these lonely mutant animals, so he declined. In addition, the base had few supplies, and taking these little guys to the base would be subject to many restrictions.
No one has ever directly expressed their willingness to recruit him, not even these mutant animals are willing to accept him.
Because he had lived outside for a long time, he had never heard of Haicheng Stone Mountain.
"I have so many mutant animals here, can you take them all away?" Zhang Tieniu also realized that the other party was sincere.
Having experienced both floods and the current scorching heat, he knows how difficult it is for one person to raise so many mutant animals. Even the small hill where he lives now was built after moving several times.
He really wanted to return to the human settlement, but he was worried about these mutated animals.
"Of course, these little black bears can fly, right? We can even transport some of them on the roof of our RV. A few trips back and forth will suffice." Luo Yunjin said sincerely, "We have a separate orchard and vegetable garden on Stone Mountain, which is 1,200 meters above sea level. There are also many recreational facilities on the mountain."
Luo Yunjin touched the flat head of the little yellow dog that came over.
The little yellow dog wagged its tail, opened its bloody mouth and sprayed out a ball of water.
Luo Yunjin politely declined.
Zhang Tieniu hesitated for a moment. "Can I go to your mountain and take a look? Is it far from here?"
"It's not far, only about a thousand kilometers. We can get there in half a day by car."
"Then can I go first and make a decision later?" He called the biggest flying bear in the house.
Zhang Tieniu did not accept Luo Yunjin's invitation to get on the RV, but asked Xiao Feixiong to carry him and follow the RV all the way to Haicheng.
It was getting dark, and it wasn't as hot as it was during the day.
Lin Xi increased the speed of the car, shortening the original two-hour journey to one hour.
Little Flying Bear was also fast and followed closely behind.
As soon as he entered Stone Mountain, Zhang Tieniu saw faint lights. Many scattered people with special abilities had already moved into many towns in Haicheng. The night market at the foot of Stone Mountain was also very prosperous, with bright lights and colorful lanterns.
After landing, the big flying bear looked around curiously. It was the first time it saw so many people and it felt a little shy.
Zhang Tieniu was shocked. He thought that Stone Mountain was just an ordinary base to accommodate survivors like those bases, but he didn't expect that it was as prosperous as before the end of the world.
There is a street market, electricity, and it is close to the sea.
The mountains are majestic and steep. Although it is night, the solar street lights on the mountains can clearly show the surrounding dense forests.
Zhang Tieniu hadn't seen such dense vegetation for a long time.
The big flying bear was even more surprised than him. The whole bear hung its short tail, stared with eyes wide open, and looked around.
Passersby around gave it friendly smiles.
Who doesn’t like a black bear with white wings?
Zhang Tieniu went up the mountain with Luo Yunjin and took a brief tour of the various facilities and construction equipment on the mountain, as well as many mutant animals living in the wild forests.
He likes this place very much, and Big Flying Bear also likes the scent of the vegetation here.
It saw several mutant gray rabbits jumping on the road with small baskets on their shoulders, and there were big white radishes in the baskets. It found it very interesting.
When the mutant gray rabbit saw the black bear, it gave it a crispy white radish in a friendly manner.
Big Flying Bear caught it flattered.
It roared at Zhang Tieniu to express its inner joy.
"But my ability level should not be high. Do I really just need to help manage the mutant animals?" Zhang Tieniu said uncertainly. He didn't know why the other party would accept someone as ordinary as him.
"Yes! Don't underestimate yourself, you are very capable. We have a lot of mutant animals on the mountain, and we are also recruiting talents. High-level psychics are good, but we are also in short supply of psychics with special attributes. Of course, there is a probation period of half a month, and there are staff dormitories here." Luo Yunjin took out the employee handbook.
Zhang Tieniu wiped his hands on his clothes, took the manual, and after flipping through it, the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.
This is a very powerful gathering place for people with special abilities, and there are many high-level people with special abilities on the mountain.
Seeing the analysis and introduction of various superpowers above, Zhang Tieniu felt relieved and relieved when he realized that there were currently no people on the mountain with animal-affinity superpowers like him.
He felt that with such a huge mountain and so many high-level psychics, there was no need to lie to him.
"Okay, I'm willing to stay. I have 89 mutant animals. How do I transport them here?"
"We currently have four flying cars on the mountain. We can transport some of them by car, and flying bears can also transport some of them. 89 should be enough. You don't have any large animals there." Luo Yunjin planned.
"It should be possible." Zhang Tieniu felt very lucky.
Because he was worried about the mutant animals at home, Zhang Tieniu asked Feixiong to carry him back that night, and Luo Yunjin also asked Duan Ya and others to drive to pick up the animals and bring them up the mountain overnight.
Temporary cargo racks have been installed on the roof to carry smaller animals.
Zhang Tieniu carried the little yellow duck and the little yellow dog onto the roof of the car. He didn't have any luggage to pack and was completely shocked by the mountain of stones.
Many mutant animals in the fence were also in a very excited state. They had been kept in a small space enclosed by the fence, and Zhang Tieniu was worried about them going out.
Every move is their only chance to travel.
Especially this time they got to ride on flying cars, and some were carried by little flying bears. They were all very well-behaved.
Duan Ya was amazed that the mutated animals on the Stone Mountain were also very human-like. It seemed that these mutated animals had improved their IQ and could roughly understand what humans said.
Zhang Tieniu took one last look back at the small courtyard, without any regrets in his heart.
He knew that Stone Mountain was more suitable for him and the mutant animals to live.
Just half an hour after everyone and the mutants left, several trucks drove up to the yard.
Xue Honglian broke down the fence and searched the entire yard, even searching the wooden house inside and out, but did not see a single mutant animal.
"What's going on? Didn't you say that there are people with special abilities who can control mutant animals and a large number of mutant animals here? Our next experiment needs to start with a large number of mutant animals." Zeng Zishan crushed the apple in her hand in anger.
"I passed by here three days ago and did see a large number of mutant animals and a male mutant who could communicate with animals. I wanted him to join our Beiming base, but he refused. Did he move away?" Xue Honglian didn't dare to breathe. She was very afraid of this crazy and pathological woman in front of her.
However, although she is crazy, she is indeed talented. The supernatural power upgrading potion that sells well in the base was developed by her.
"No, there are still a lot of supplies in this wooden house that have not been taken away. There is fresh dog shit and duck shit on the ground. It is obvious that they left not long ago. Chase them!" Zeng Zishan ordered aggressively.
But they searched around the yard for a long time and found no signs of any movement. It was as if those mutant animals had disappeared out of thin air.
"If you don't find those mutant animals, you will be the test subjects for my next experiment!"
Several trucks went to look for it separately, and Zeng Zishan stayed in the wooden house. Just as she was about to sit on a chair, she saw a pool of duck shit in the center of the chair.
She leaned against the table and waited for a long time, sweating profusely, but several cars had not returned yet.
At this time, the sun was gradually rising and the temperature was increasing. Zeng Zishan was covered in sweat. The smell of various animals in the yard became more obvious under the steaming sun, and gradually fermented and softened together, forming an unpleasant stench.
But the truck still didn't come back.
Zeng Zishan, who was hungry, thirsty and hot, fainted from the stench and fell to the ground before the truck returned.
When Xue Honglian drove back, she saw the once arrogant man lying on the ground of the wooden house, dirty and soaked with sweat.
She and several teammates held their noses, moved the smelly people into the truck, and drove back to the base.
The cages in the carriage were filled with many mutant animals they had caught on the road. At this time, these animals were chirping and there were all kinds of smells in the carriage.
Zeng Zishan, who was fainted by the stench, was woken up again by the stench.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a pool of cow dung falling from the sky and smearing his face.
Zeng Zishan screamed in anger.
But the sounds of various animals drowned out her cries, and the people sitting in the front seat of the car didn't hear it at all.
*
Zhang Tieniu was very satisfied with his new home. The staff dormitory had a good environment, was fully equipped with electrical appliances, and the mutant animals he brought were all raised in the nearby mountains.
Once those mutant animals entered the forest, they seemed to be free.
The little yellow duck followed the little yellow dog to the lake to swim; the little flying bear followed the little gray rabbit to look for wild fruits in the woods; the mutant squirrels moved among the trees, they found the pine trees and prepared to settle down here.
Because of his special abilities, Zhang Tieniu does not have to rotate through various departments. He only needs to take care of the animals in the mountains.
He also discovered that the mutated animals on the stone mountain were scattered, but each seemed to have its own territory.
For example, a forest two hundred meters away is occupied by a group of mutant monkeys. They only accept the exchange of supplies with other mutant animals and usually do not allow other animals to enter their territory.
The small garden at an altitude of 400 meters is occupied by a group of mutant dogs. Although they allow other animals to visit their home, they do not allow them to pick the flowers they grow at will.
Zhang Tieniu himself loves animals very much. He was a veterinarian before the end of the world. He thinks this mountain is very suitable for mutant animals to live.
At the same time, because Stone Mountain no longer restricts new members from joining, but has requirements for the level and attributes of superpowers, not many people come, but every few days there will be a few high-level superpower users who choose to join.
Therefore, there is no shortage of people in the staff dormitories, and even many regular employees are assigned to serve as dormitory managers.
