The system is four years ahead of schedule, but Weird is still a cub.

"Oh? There is such a special ability?" Shen Ge curiously brought the octopus marmot to him and looked at him carefully, then threw him to the ground at his feet.

As a result, as soon as he threw the octopus marmot on the ground, the originally hard ground softened like a quagmire, and the place where Shen Ge was standing suddenly sank.

Shen Ge reached out and grabbed, and the rotten blood tentacle pulled out the octopus marmot that wanted to burrow into the soil again: "This little thing is quite interesting. I originally planned to cook it and eat it, but this ability may have research value, so let's keep it for now."

The octopus marmot struggled angrily, obviously very dissatisfied with Shen Ge's arrangement of its destination.

"Third level?"

Shen Ge was originally only interested in the octopus marmot's special ability to turn the land into a quagmire, but after a system scan, he found that this little creature was actually only a third-level monster.

Apart from the fact that this special ability can be used to harm others, its appearance is really too undermining to be considered a "third level" weirdo.

"Master, what... is this?" When An An saw Shen Ge catch the octopus strangely, she couldn't help but move closer to take a closer look at the monster that almost dragged her and her sister into the quagmire.

Apart from its ferocious grin, the sight of it being hung in the air by the blood-rotten tentacles and scratching around with its eight legs actually makes people feel a little funny and cute.

"It's a third-level weirdo. Do you want to raise it?" Shen Ge asked as he brought the octopus marmot in front of An An.

"..." What kind of divine statement is this?

The two sisters were almost scared to death by this thing just now. Look, are you talking human language?
Although An An wanted to complain, facing Shen Ge's sincere "eyes", she couldn't say the complaint that was on the tip of her tongue.

First, they were concerned about the other party's identity as the "master", and second, judging from Shen Ge's expression, it seemed that he really had no "malice", as if he was asking them if they wanted to keep a dog.

"No, no, let's not do that." An An said nervously.

Shen Ge said: "It looks fierce, but it's actually just a pet rat. It can be used as a life-saving trump card at a critical moment. Don't you want it?"

An An quickly shook her head. Having said that, she didn't want to raise such a thing in case it accidentally bit off its head.

Jingjing said, "Master, stop joking. We both keep this thing and we don't know when it will eat us."

"Oh, that's easy." Shen Ge raised his hand and grabbed the octopus marmot's head, and the blood-rotten tentacles immediately put a "collar" on its neck and eight legs.

Then he handed the octopus marmot to Jingjing.

Although Jingjing was afraid, she still took it. Unexpectedly, this octopus marmot, which had been grinning and looking ferocious in front of Shen Ge, actually became quiet after being put on the collar.

"This... Master! Why is this happening?" Jingjing asked in surprise.

Shen Ge smiled and said, "Although it is a third-level monster, its own monster power is very low, almost as low as a first-level monster. I don't know how it became a third-level monster. I suppressed its monster power. If it gets more aggressive, its head will explode directly."

The situation of this monster is very special. The rating given by the system is completely inconsistent with the strength of the monster's power it displays. However, since the system has been restored to level five or above, there have been basically no problems with the scanning.

Therefore, it is not known whether there is something special about this octopus marmot, or whether its special abilities affected the rating judgment.

But no matter what the result is, it means that this strange octopus is very worth studying, so Shen Ge decided to take it back for further research.

A living monster cannot be put into the weird space of the red fog armor. First, there are too many weird things stored in the weird space. If the octopus marmot feasts on it, it is possible that a high-level monster of level 4 or 5 will be released.
Secondly, there is another new type of strange creature that is very valuable for research now locked in the strange sleeping bag. If an octopus or marmot is put in it, maybe, like before, a strange species will be bred.

The third is the instability of the strange space. Putting inanimate objects into it may not necessarily produce a strange space, but if a living thing is put in and a strange space is produced, and it distorts the space together with the strange space of the red fog armor, then the stock in the strange space may be destroyed.

So for safety reasons, Shen Ge used the Red Mist Armor to deal with the octopus marmot, and then handed it over to Jingjing to take care of temporarily.

After solving the problem of the octopus and the marmot, Shen Ge took out a bucket of water from the strange space and asked An An and Jing Jing to clean off the mud on their bodies. Then he got on the off-road vehicle, attached the off-road vehicle with the red mist armor, and drove towards Xinhai along the muddy road according to the newly planned route.

An An looked at the octopus marmot in Jingjing's arms. The marmot stayed quietly on Jingjing's legs. Its eight legs made it look silly and cute, which was actually quite adorable.

"Don't be afraid, the master has handled it, so it must be safe." Jingjing couldn't help but persuade An An when she saw that he wanted to touch it but didn't dare to.

An An carefully reached out and touched the groundhog's head. The groundhog was still curled up on Jingjing's legs, without any reaction, giving people the illusion that it was lying down and waiting to die after being collared.

"Master, why isn't it moving?" An An asked curiously.

Shen Ge, who was sitting in the main driving seat as a decoration, looked back at the marmot and said, "The reason why animals become weird is because they are eroded by weird energy. After alienation, it is the weird energy in their bodies that drives them to do some instinctive behaviors. Blocking their weird energy is like draining the power of a tram. Naturally, they can no longer do anything."

An An said in surprise: "So this is possible. Then doesn't it mean that the best way to deal with weird things is to directly block their weird powers and make them useless?"

Shen Ge shook his head: "This is only a feasible method in theory. First, the strength of the weird energy of this groundhog is too low, as low as the level of the first-level weird. Second, this method requires the strength of the weird energy of a cross-level to suppress it, and it also consumes a lot of weird energy."

"If we can jump a few levels, we can kill this low-level weirdness without any effort. Why do we need to spend so much energy to block the flow of weird energy in its body?"

Shen Ge only mentioned two reasons, but there is actually one more important point. The "Red Mist Armor Collar" on the octopus marmot's neck is the most critical link.

Without the near-infinite supply of strange energy from "Endless" and the separation of flesh and blood, it would be impossible for the Red Mist Armor to "separate" the flesh and blood that served as a collar.

And without Xiaoqi's real-time monitoring, a smart collar alone is not enough to restrain a monster and accurately block the flow of monster energy in its body.

In fact, this was also a "sudden inspiration" decision made by Shen Ge. It was also a new attempt with the octopus and marmot. Unexpectedly, the result of this attempt was better than he imagined. It also opened up a new way of thinking for Shen Ge to deal with the weirdness in the future.

On the way to Xinhai, the three of them talked about everything from the octopus to the Xinhai, and then to the "Association". They ate when they were hungry and slept when they were tired. Anyway, Xiaoqi was controlling the red mist armor and operating the off-road vehicle throughout the journey, so they didn't have to worry about safety issues at all.

"Master, master, there seems to be something in the fog!" An An leaned against the window and boredly admired the scenery outside. In this doomsday, there were ruins and desolation everywhere, or thick fog.

She was just killing time and didn't expect to see any beautiful scenery, but suddenly she found a huge black shadow in the thick fog in the distance. In fact, when entering this area, Shen Ge had already scanned the surrounding area through the system and marked all the weirdness around.

"Oh, it's just a fifth-level monster, no need to worry about it." Shen Ge said casually.

An An opened her mouth, not knowing how to respond for a moment. She guessed that only the "master" would dare to say such arrogant words.

But there is another reason why An An is so nervous. The thick fog area ahead is the only way they can go to Xinhai, so there is a high probability that they will have to face the fifth-level monster.

"Master, strange energy fluctuations have been detected in the foggy area ahead." As they drove into the foggy area, Xiao Qi spoke out to remind them.

"Oh, speed up, step on the accelerator and crash into it." Shen Ge said indifferently.

Anyway, with the strength of the Red Mist Armor, low-level weirdness is not enough for this off-road vehicle to hit.

When Shen Ge said this, the most nervous people were An An and Jing Jing in the back seat. The two sisters consciously fastened their seat belts and reached out to hold the safety armrest above the car door.

The speed of the off-road vehicle continued to increase, and the black shadow in the fog ahead was getting closer and closer, but Xiao Qi showed no intention of slowing down.

At this time, dozens of blood-rotten tentacles extended from Shen Ge's body and spread out in the car. Some of them helped the two sisters to stabilize their bodies, and some stretched out from the windows.

Unleashing the Strange Energy——

Characteristics, "unfortunate"!
Shen Ge sought a "quick victory" and at the moment when the off-road vehicle passed under the giant monster, he directly chose to release the power of the characteristic "misfortune" and summoned a huge meteorite to fall down.

At this moment, a fiery red light appeared out of nowhere in the sky, and then accurately fell on the giant black shadow blocking the off-road vehicle, causing a violent explosion!

"This..." What just happened?
Meteorite?

Was that a meteorite just now?

The two sisters were stunned, and couldn't understand why a huge meteorite suddenly fell from the sky and so "coincidentally" hit the giant monster that was blocking their way.

"Master, master, master, master, master!" Shen Ge was using the [map] to check which monsters that were blocking the road must be cleared, but he heard An An stuttering and pointing ahead.

"Weird, Master, weird!"

"So much weirdness!"

Shen Ge's eyes were still focused on the [Map], and he said without raising his head: "Calm down, at least straighten your tongue before you speak. If someone doesn't know, they might think you are saying that your master, I am weird."

"Master, that's not what I meant, but there are so many weird things ahead!" An An said nervously.

After a meteorite suddenly appeared in the sky and killed the largest giant monster, monsters kept jumping onto the road in the foggy area.

The off-road vehicle with the red mist armor attached to it knocked away and killed several monsters. Unexpectedly, the number of monsters increased. At the place where An An was pointing, there were at least fifty or sixty monsters, two or three meters tall, that looked like cows and horses, and had three different animal heads, gathering in the middle of the road.

However, Shen Ge had already discovered these strange traces through the [Map], but the highest of these strange things was only level two, and he was too lazy to use his abilities.

Classmate Xiao Qi drove the red mist armor off-road vehicle directly into the group of monsters. The powerful impact force knocked several of them away. At the same time, the rotten blood tentacles extending out of the window connected to the monster's stomach and turned into a bloody mouth. He took the opportunity to swallow a part of them and started the buffet mode.

Along the way, Shen Ge was only responsible for solving the weirdness above level four, and the low-level weirdness was left to Xiao Qi to deal with. They passed through the foggy area without any danger.

This was not dangerous at all for Shen Ge, but for the two sisters An An and Jing Jing, it was completely challenging their physical limits.

First there was the mountain torrent rafting, and then there was the adventure in the foggy area. The experiences of the two sisters in the past twenty years combined were not as thrilling as those in the past two days.

The two sisters decided to stay at home and be canaries, waiting for their owner to come home. They never wanted to go through this terrifying experience again.

Four days later, Shen Ge and his companions returned to the Xinjing-Xinhai highway. Xiao Qi also made the attachment of the red mist armor more covert, so that at least from the outside it could not be seen that the off-road vehicle was secretly controlled by the red mist armor.

The security of Xinhai City is very strict. Even the outer city area has three checkpoints and high steel walls to resist the weirdness.

However, Shen Ge was not worried about entering the city, because Yin Hu had already prepared a "new identity" for him. According to the original plan, Shen Ge would enter the outer city area with the logistics troops, settle in the outer city area as a migrant, and then contact the people stationed in the outer city area by the 12th Detachment, and have them help cover his entry into the inner city area.

When Shen Ge drove into the first checkpoint in the outer city area, the two sisters sitting in the back seat attracted the attention of the checkpoint guards.

Although they had changed out of the 12th Squadron's combat uniforms and put on civilian clothes, the two sisters' looks were very likely to attract the attention of others in such an environment.

Fortunately, the migrant identity certificate that Yinhu prepared for Shen Ge had some "background" in the outer city area, which made the guards at the checkpoints have the intention but not the courage to act rashly.

But when passing the second level, the guards here are obviously braver and have better background than the guards at level one.

He deliberately blocked Shen Ge's review progress, and his words almost told the two sisters to stay with them before he would let them pass.

The two sisters were not worried that Shen Ge would send them out. If Shen Ge was such a person, he would not have had a direct conflict with the Rat of the 12th Team.

In front of the Rat, these guards are no better than ants.

The two sisters thought that Shen Ge would just give them some resources, or use his connections to get the matter over with, but Shen Ge actually chose the most direct approach.

Eleven seconds. Shen Ge used only eleven seconds to slaughter the entire guard team of the second level, and did not let anyone who participated in this "extortion" go.

In his words, keeping this kind of person is a waste of food, so he might as well treat it as helping Xinhai get rid of the insects. (End of this chapter)
