Chapter 364 Unable to Tell
In general, up to now, they have completed everything they needed to do, and after finding Captain Wang, their mission on this hill has been completely completed.
Captain Zhang said, "Everyone has just regained consciousness, and their bodies need some time to recuperate after the ordeal of the past few days. Besides, the ship can't sail unless it's clean. I've decided that everyone should rest here for two days before setting off."
These two days are enough to spend one day resting and one day cleaning the ship.
The rest——
After getting on the boat, you can take a break. After all, even when sailing on the water, you don’t encounter strange creatures every day.
The most important point is that no one can predict what they will encounter on the road ahead. Take advantage of these two days to quickly adapt and use the new abilities they have acquired, so that even if they do encounter something on the road, they will not panic.
The team members agreed immediately, and the 67 people could no longer be assigned boats according to the original teams.
Captain Zhang thought about it and decided that these dozen people definitely should not be separated. Of course, there must be a reason for him to do so.
The special abilities of Lan Jin and the other three are indeed very powerful, but if you think about it carefully, among so many people, aren't they the only four who have special abilities?
Of course, his own mental power cannot attack, so it is not considered a superpower.
If anything really happens, only the four of them will be able to take responsibility.
So there is absolutely no problem in grouping them together.
In addition, since the four of them had very strong superpowers, and the remaining superpower users had just acquired superpowers, there were still more than 20 people without superpowers in the team, so Captain Zhang also belonged to his own ship.
In other words, the people with superpowers on their ship are very powerful, but there are too many people without superpowers. If they really want to protect them, they may not be able to do so.
Then the remaining 30 or so psychics can just be divided in half.
After carefully considering this distribution, the team members really had no objection.
…
On the first day of rest, everyone slept soundly, not even taking time for three meals, and fell asleep.
There are a lot of things to do after waking up. First, fill your stomach, and then clean the boat.
In fact, this task is simple. Pile the damaged things in the corner and go back to repair them to see if they can still be used. Even if they can't be used, they can still have other uses. In short, don't throw them away and waste them.
The most difficult thing left is to disinfect and clean the bloodstains in the cabin.
This really took some effort, but fortunately it wasn't that difficult.
After the cabin was cleaned, two days had passed.
After another night of rest, they set out on their journey back to base early in the morning.
…
The sirens of the three ships echoed throughout the mountains. Ling Jiang looked towards the distant Maolin and asked, "Lao Shi should be able to hear it too. The sound of our ships leaving was so loud."
"I can hear you, Sister Ling..."
Just as Lao Gao was about to step forward to offer some words of advice, Ling Jiang interrupted, "I don't need your comfort. Aren't there enough people who died along the way? Haven't we killed enough people along the way? I won't..."
Lan Jin said, "It's normal to feel sad. It's nothing. Although Lao Shi wasn't the best at relationships, he was quite serious and responsible at work. Overall, he was a good person. It's a shame to leave him here like this."
The main thing was that even if he had experienced a fierce battle or died directly at someone's hands, he might have thought much better, but Lao Shi was just swept by the light, and then -
All in all, it’s a real pity.
But it was just a pity, Lan Jin didn't feel any extra emotion at all.
Ling Jiang took a deep breath and said, "Alright, stop comforting me. I can handle it myself. Besides, it's too early for us to relax. We're not sure whether we can go back or not."
Huang Jinghe said bitterly: "Sister Ling is really not good at talking. Why can't we go back? On this trip, the rest of us will definitely be able to go back safely."
hehe.
This is really haha.
…
On a hill in Maolin.
Standing at the highest point, you can just overlook the water in the distance. When the ship sailed away, a humanoid mutant creature was looking reluctantly in the direction the ship was leaving, and was unwilling to leave for a long time.
This humanoid mutant creature is Lao Shi after mutation, and at this moment, he has completely turned into a humanoid mutant creature like the one on the negative 5th floor.
His (its) current attribute is lynx, which belongs to the cat family. The original attributes of this animal are the ability to stand, jump, and have very thick pads and claws.
Not only has it inherited all these characteristics perfectly, but it has also inherited some of its eating habits. It now likes to eat creatures such as rabbits and deer, and can find and consume them in the dense forest in a short time.
Of course, it would definitely refuse at first, but habits are habits, which are engraved in its bones and cannot be changed at all. Moreover, it has no way to survive without food. After thinking it over and over again, it moved its mouth.
Lao Shi was in the late stage, that is, he became a mutant creature only now. During this process, he had already known everything he should know, so the mutant creature he bit did not have a human face, in order to avoid eating his own kind while he still had humanity.
At least, when it is temporarily awake, it is unwilling to do so.
But the strange thing is that it was originally looking for those normal mutant creatures, but after it bit them directly with its lower mouth, these animals struggled twice and then immediately changed.
The wound bitten by it slowly healed, leaving behind a crack, but soon human faces grew out of the crack, slowly opening their eyes, opening their mouths, and speaking. In short, nothing was left out.
These mutated creatures are in this state because they have been bitten by it. That means that all the monsters with human faces in the dense forest should have been infected by the same situation.
But why did this happen again? Lao Shi had a headache. No matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out. Moreover, he was in the dense forest, and even if he discovered this, he couldn't tell others.
In the end, it could only realize that it was now a mutant creature, and who knew what it would become in the future. In short, these were not things he should worry about.
but--
There is no way to make the attachment to the human world disappear just like that.
…
The ship was already sailing in the water, and they were now in City R, so what they had to do was to search for any survivors who might still be alive in the center of R City and at or near the base.
Although everyone felt that the possibility of survivors was not high, there was no choice but to look for them.
