Zhang Mu was stunned. To put it bluntly, he was just a second-hand dealer of beast cores in the future. He actually got a beast core that he didn't even recognize. He took the brocade box from the soldier's hand, took out the unknown beast core, and examined it carefully in his palm. However, the beast core was pitch black and he couldn't see any pattern at all.

What on earth is this black thing?

After observing, Zhang Mu still felt that he didn't see anything special. He suddenly felt that the past few years of his life might have been wasted. He was actually stumped by a first-level beast core.

As if he could see Zhang Mu's confusion, the soldier added, "We found this on a young animal. The young animal looked like an ordinary fawn, nothing special. And we didn't see the body of its elder, a mutant animal that looked similar to it."

Deer?

Zhang Mu frantically searched his mind for all mutant beasts related to deer, but still found nothing.

But the soldier's next words attracted Zhang Mu's great interest. He said casually, "I don't know what's going on. The other mutants have become ferocious and fierce, but this fawn is very strange. It is exactly the same as the one I saw in the zoo. It feels like it's still before the end of the world."

It's impossible. The body shape or internal structure of an animal will definitely mutate under the influence of evolutionary waves, and its degenerate characteristics will be greatly magnified.

But according to what the soldier said, it was really just an ordinary little deer before the end of the world. How could this be possible? This is common sense, and it has become an axiom for humans in later generations. All animals except humans have more or less experienced something hidden in their genes.

The evolutionary ripples are unsolvable and have forcibly changed all living things on Earth, even non-living things.

All carbon-based life forms that Zhang Mu had seen, excluding humans, had undergone earth-shaking and amazing changes, at least in appearance, after the opening of the Era of Bliss, and the changes became more and more obvious as time went by.

Zhang Mu's expression turned serious. He looked at the soldier who seemed a little confused and didn't know what he had said wrong and said, "Take me to see the body of the young beast.

. "

Long Qi, who originally found Zhang Mu's appearance amusing, now felt that something was wrong and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this beast core? I see that you have never seen it before, right?"

Zhang Mu replied, "I don't know either. We have to wait until we see the corpse of the mutant beast that produced this beast core before we can infer the specific situation."

Hearing Zhang Mu's words, Long Qi quickly waved his hand and said to the soldier, "Take us to the place where the cub's body is stored and show him what's going on. This kid knows a lot of things, and I feel a little guilty when he is so serious. The things you don't know are indeed the scariest."

Long Qi touched his big bald head and without thinking, he asked the soldier to take Zhang Mu down, because entering the ice storage required Long Qi's authorization. The martial law level in the ice storage was very high. Although Zhang Mu was brought by Long Qi himself, he still had to go through the formalities, so the soldier was waiting for Long Qi's order.

Zhang Mu and his companion were quickly brought to an independent storage room. The soldier raised his hand and pointed to the center and said to Zhang Mu, "Because of the uniqueness of this beast core, we did not mix the body of the young beast with other bodies and instead placed it in this independent freezer."

Because this freezer was opened independently, it was taken care of by the abilities of ice evolvers. The temperature was even colder than outside. The soldier wrapped in a large cotton coat was just an ordinary first-level evolver. He shivered as he finished speaking. He could no longer hold on and squeezed his clothes a little tighter. A layer of white frost covered his face.

He shivered and said, "Chief, Mr. Zhang, I'll go out first. I can't stand it any longer. It's too cold."

Long Qi also saw that the soldier had reached his limit, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Tell the brothers outside to register and store all the mutant corpses. Take some unfrozen pork and cook some broth outside to share and warm up your bodies."

"Thank you, Chief!"

No idea whether it was because he could leave or because he had broth to drink, but the soldier saluted Long Qi, then ran out trembling, closing the door behind him.

As for Long Qi and Zhang Mu, because of their second-level physique, they were not affected by the coldness of this level. Long Qi glanced at Zhang Mu and said, "Let's go up and take a look."

Zhang Mu nodded slightly. These staff members were quite smart and saw that this young animal was different from the others.

He walked forward and observed carefully. There were no signs of external injuries on the body of the young beast. The soldier had just told Zhang Mu this on the road. He explained to Zhang Mu that the young beast seemed to have died from a brain concussion, possibly due to the energy bombardment between other mutant beasts.

In addition, the staff did not find any mutant beasts that looked like this little guy, so they concluded that it was alone and without the protection of its tribe, so accidental death was inevitable in such a melee.

This is indeed the body of an ordinary young deer, with strong and well-developed limbs, small horns on the top of the head, and spots on the body. If this animal was placed in a zoo before the end of the world, probably not many people would pay attention to it.

After looking at its appearance, Zhang Mu checked the cub's internal organs, but found nothing. Zhang Mu did not sense the existence of any energy in its body at all.

An ordinary fawn is not a particularly rare species that is on the verge of extinction. But now is the end of the world, and a mutant animal that has never mutated has become the rarest species.

Because of it, it was not affected by the evolutionary ripples that changed the whole world.

At this time, Long Qi, who had come over to take a look, said in confusion, "I don't feel anything is wrong. What went wrong? It's not as mysterious as you say, right?"

Zhang Mu concealed the concept of evolutionary ripples from him and only told him an idea that had just occurred to him, "After the end of the world, everything has changed, including you and me, but this young beast has not changed. Don't you think it's strange?"

After hearing what Zhang Mu said, Long Qi was stunned for a moment. Just when he wanted to think about it carefully, he suddenly remembered something. He pressed the wrinkles on his shiny forehead and said to Zhang Mu excitedly, "Who said it hasn't changed? How could a deer have a beast core in its brain?"
