Chapter 110
Captain Dai and the others who were looking over here were startled when they suddenly heard the creature screaming.
"What kind of mutant creature is this? It can actually speak human language."
After the initial fear wore off, all that was left was surprise at the screaming mutant creatures.
"Yes, so far, there has never been a mutant creature that can speak, except for those birds that could learn human language before the mutation."
Hearing his teammates' surprise, Zhuang Dun also followed up with a sentence.
Zhuang Dun often helps other teams or the official logistics department to use his abilities to transport various supplies and precious items. He has seen too many things. Whether it is rare supplies before the changes in the world or precious items after the changes, he has basically been involved in the transportation of all of them.
But even with his knowledge, he had never seen such a strange mutant creature.
Looking at the thing struggling in the water, Captain Dai and his team members were still a little skeptical. They took a closer look, trying to find any traces of birds on it.
Unfortunately, there was nothing. Not only that, even the traces that looked like rats at first disappeared after staying in the water for too long.
"It really seems to be what we are after."
The members of the front-line team of capable people watched helplessly as the mutant creature struggling in the water slowly rose from the tip of its tail and finally turned into a toy. Their voices trembled as they saw this scene.
Although they suspected at first that this thing was what they were chasing, that was only a reasonable suspicion. Their mission was so urgent that if they had not had contact with the villagers of Daxi Village before and knew that they had shelter, I am afraid even the villagers would have been suspicious.
Seeing the suspect confirmed before his eyes, Captain Dai glanced around and before he could wave his hand, the team members who had been working with him for a long time had already reacted and walked towards the small pond.
"Children, can you stop for a moment and let us take a look at this thing?"
Although he was a little anxious while walking, he still asked all the necessary questions.
"The uncles have a very urgent task to deal with now, and they may need the help of the children."
As Tang Ji was speaking, he had already walked up to the stone and lowered his head to ask for the stone's opinion. Seeing some hesitation between the stone's brows, he spoke again.
"Don't worry, kids. Regardless of whether that's what we're looking for or not, we'll find you a toy as compensation. Okay?"
His words were full of tenderness, and it was hard for Tang Ji, who was usually eccentric, to speak in such a low voice at this time.
"This is Xiao Hei's. Let me ask Xiao Hei."
When he heard that there was a gift, Shi Tou's hesitation disappeared.
Since the leather mouse was given to Xiao Hei by his mother, Xiao Hei was the owner of all the snakes and had the final say, so after Shi Tou answered Tang Ji's words, he lowered his head and spoke to Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei was a very easy-going snake in front of the stone. He had even climbed up trees to bite down fruits before, so he agreed to this task without any hesitation.
Seeing that the children all agreed, Captain Dai and his team members headed towards the small pond.
Although Xiao Shu'er is small, she can still understand what adults say.
At this time, she realized that as long as she gave the leather mouse to these adults, she would have new toys to play with in the future. Brother Shitou and the others all agreed, so she had no objection.
She casually handed the wet leather mouse in her hand to the adult who was already approaching, waiting for him to reach out and take it.
"Thank you, little one."
Seeing the leather mouse being held by its tail and handed in front of him, with water dripping all over its body, Tang Ji was speechless.
This mutant creature was able to turn itself into this state and eventually become a toy for children. No one can compare to it.
He carefully reached out and took the leather mouse from the child's hand. Just as he was about to continue asking why the leather mouse was played with like this, his hand suddenly felt empty.
It was obvious that Tang Ji's posture of catching the leather mouse was the same as Xiao Shu'er's, but the leather mouse was obviously very obedient in Xiao Shu'er's hands and did not dare to struggle. As soon as it got into Tang Ji's hands, it swung its body violently with such force that even Tang Ji, a person with enhanced physical strength due to his ability, could break free in an instant.
“I…will go!”
He subconsciously uttered half a sentence, then suppressed it after coming to his senses, but the look of disgust between his brows at the mutant creature's cunningness remained.
"fry!"
Almost the next moment after seeing the rat struggling to escape, Captain Dai gave an order and the electric net around their feet became as dense as a spider web.
Because there were children nearby, the electric fence was designed to bypass the children for fear of hurting them.
"ah!!!!"
The leather rat that had just broken free was blown out.
Before, it could be blown out normally, but this time its ability was first consumed by passing the mountain, and then it was rinsed in the water by Xiao Shuer for so long.
To make matters worse, its stomach is full of cotton. Even if it vomits out some of it, the conductive water is still there, taking up most of its stomach.
Xiao Shu'er's mind was on the new toy that Captain Dai and his men would bring up the mountain next time, and she had no intention of controlling and extracting the water from it.
The final result is predictable.
When the leather mouse appeared again, its fake hair, which was not very shiny to begin with, had been electrocuted into bald spots.
Smoke slowly rose from the strands of hair that had been electrocuted into a mass.
The naughty mouse didn't bother to continue running, and just lay on the ground with despair. He turned his head to look at the smoke coming out of his body, and then turned his head to look at the human who was holding a ball of thunder in his hand, ready to hit him again at any time. He didn't want to move anymore.
I have never seen such human beings taking advantage of others’ misfortunes!
Well, humans are all like this. Back when the leather mouse was still a toy hamster, humans were like this. They would play with it and beat it non-stop. Even when it got stuck in the machine and couldn't move, humans would still use a hammer to knock it down.
Wow, humans can play with rats, so why can’t rats play with humans!
Why should humans catch it just because it plays tricks on them?
The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. When he saw the burnt spots on his body, the rat no longer cared about the dignity of being a mutant creature and rolled back and forth on the ground, crying.
Halfway through crying, it thought that it could have run away, but was caught again because the big black snake wanted to give a gift to its cub. It felt even more aggrieved and cried even harder.
"Hey uncle, this mouse can cry so well, take it away quickly, or my sister will learn from it."
Gangduan looked at the little rat rolling on the ground and crying, shrugged his shoulders with disgust, walked forward and took his two sisters away, and then said to Captain Dai and the others with disgust.
"Okay, thank you, kids. We'll go up the mountain again tomorrow to bring you toys!"
Looking at the rat on the ground, and then looking up at the crying children standing eight meters away, Captain Dai was speechless for a moment.
Being disliked by children who are still quite crybaby at this age, this naughty mouse can be said to have reached the peak of his life.
He turned his head and looked in the direction of Zhuang Dun, signaling him to get something out.
At first, they saw that the children could catch it and play with it, and they thought that the naughty mouse had been beaten to death by Guo Shanfeng, so Tang Ji caught it directly.
Unexpectedly, the other party was pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, waiting for the opportunity to run away.
With the experience from the previous time, we will definitely be more cautious this time.
Upon receiving Captain Dai's signal, Zhuang Dun directly took out the mutant creature cage jointly produced by the research institute and the Taoist from his own space.
This thing can hold mutant creatures, but there is a strength limit. The higher the ability of the mutant creature, the shorter the time it can be held.
If you don't change the cage, you will just have to wait for the mutant creature to escape. If you change the cage, there is a possibility that it will escape during the process.
It's not very safe after all, but they haven't been able to develop a better cage for transportation, so this is the only way.
I asked why Zhuang Dun’s ability was not used for transportation, as Zhuang Dun’s ability was not capable of transporting such a powerful mutant life form.
As for the leather mouse, it is a little special. Its ability is somewhat similar to Zhuang Dun's, but it is in the aspect of hiding.
One of the reasons why it was able to hide so well in the town before was that its ability not only allowed it to turn into a living mutant and affect people's emotions, but also allowed it to trigger the toy machine part after turning back into a mole. Although it could not be completely hidden in it, it could still be hidden relatively perfectly.
Unless one is much more capable than it, it is impossible to find it.
Of course, the method of defeating ten thousand troops with one force also applies.
It just requires the user to have extremely high attack capabilities, such as the ground mines used on the leather rats before.
Although it looks ordinary, it can always expose the few flaws on the leather rat.
Adding a leather mouse soaked in water makes the effect even better.
"We need to get down the mountain quickly. This skin rat is quite capable. The cage's energy bar drops as soon as it's used up."
Zhuang Dun frowned as he saw the energy bar above the cage dropping at a speed visible to the naked eye just after the leather mouse was put in.
"Yes, right away."
Of course Captain Dai saw it too.
Normally, if this cage contains some mutant creatures with weak abilities, the energy bar will not move much, and a cage can be used for a long time.
"This thing consumes too much energy. It will probably cost a lot of money to recharge it when I get back. I don't know if handing it in will make up for it."
Looking at the energy bar that was falling, Tang Ji felt a little pain.
The energy for charging the cages is very scarce nowadays, and there is very little of it, but it is the necessary energy for the cages. Even if there are subsidies from the official side, except for the two fixed cages that can be charged for free every month, the rest need to be charged by the team themselves.
"I came out here and got paid to work, tsk."
Tang Ji muttered to himself.
He felt even more annoyed when he saw the mutant creature lying in the cage and crying.
"Don't nag about it. Just hope it fetches a good price at the research institute."
Zhuang Dun poked Tang Ji and signaled him to stop talking and irritating the person in the cage. Didn’t you see that the harder someone cries, the faster the cage consumes energy?
"You don't speak very nicely either..."
