After seeing the barrage, the female supporting role in the end of the world leads the male protagon

Chapter 120 Unexpected News

They had been in the mountains for several days. Qiao Zhi and his friends not only found many mutant medicinal herbs, but also obtained many mutant beasts.

"Have you noticed that the frequency of our encounters with mutant beasts has increased in the past two days?" After killing another mutant rabbit, Ruan Liyang said thoughtfully.

"It seems so." Sheng Jia thought about it and found that it was indeed the case.

When they first arrived, the chance of encountering mutant beasts was very low. If they didn't look for them specifically, they would have no chance of seeing any mutant beasts at all.

However, now, just this morning, they encountered several mutant beasts.

Qiao Zhi naturally discovered this as well.

"The increasing frequency of mutant beasts appearing is not a good thing. We should consider going back." They have been out for about a week and have been active in the mountains and forests during this time.

She still remembered the tide of strange beasts mentioned in the barrage, and wondered if this was a sign.

"That's right. I don't know if the base knows about this. We need to bring the news back."

Regardless of whether a wave of strange beasts appears or not, it is always better to prepare early.

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhi looked up at the top of Lu Hanchuan's head.

Because they were acting as a group, Qiao Zhi rarely looked at Lu Hanchuan's head during this period.

Naturally, I don’t know what was said in the barrage.

But now that they are talking about the increase in mutant beasts, the barrage should give some hints, right?
[Have the number of mutant beasts increased? I haven't noticed.]

[What? Has the mutant beast attack on the base already begun?]

[Is Zhizhi going back? What a shame, I won't be able to see her beat up the mutant beast.]

[Ahhh, Zhizhi, don't go back! The mutant beasts are about to attack the base. Going back now would be suicide!]

[The person above, how can you say that? Do the other people in the base deserve to die? ]

Zhizhi didn't know the mutated beast tide would appear, so she shouldn't have gone back now.

[I hope the female supporting character can bring back news of the mutant beast, so that the various bases won't suffer heavy losses.]

Based on the comments, Qiao Zhi briefly summarized the plot of the original novel.

It turns out that after the end of the world, humans' initial targets were mainly zombies, and they didn't pay much attention to mutant beasts and plants.

I will solve it only when I encounter it.

Later, when extremely cold weather arrived, the mutant beasts became even more dormant and rarely appeared in front of people.

Human beings are focusing all their energy on keeping warm and have never paid attention to them.

So this gave mutant beasts and mutant plants room to develop. When the extreme cold ended and the mutant beasts reappeared, they began to gather together and attack human bases in search of food.

Now humans are about to face the first wave of mutant beasts.

The sudden arrival of this beast tide caused heavy losses to the human race, and they almost didn't survive.

Of course, in addition to the mutant beasts, the more important thing is that the high-level zombies secretly attacked and killed many high-level human beings with special abilities.

[If those high-level zombies are truly dogs, then the tide of mutant beasts wouldn't have nearly wiped out humanity. It was those high-level zombies who secretly attacked the high-level human beings with special abilities, causing them to be unable to withstand the mutant beasts' attacks.]

[As they say, those who are not of my kind must have different hearts. Although zombies regain their memories after regaining consciousness, they are not human after all, and even view humans as enemies.]

[Yes, zombies are bloodthirsty and cruel. They have abandoned the charity of humans and are only filled with conspiracy and trickery.]

[Even so, there are still humans who have the whimsical idea that others want to accept zombies and live in peace with them.]

[Hehehe, you didn't read the whole book, right? They weren't just imagining things, it was mainly because their own family members turned into zombies and regained their memories.]

[Yes, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than selfishness. They disregard the safety of all mankind for their own sake.]

The barrage revealed a lot of information, and Qiao Zhi was shocked.

She really didn't expect that there would be humans offering to accept zombies.

There are also zombies involved in the mutant beast tide.

She knew that those zombies would not stay still and would always want to cause trouble.

After knowing so much information, Qiao Zhi couldn't stay any longer.

"Let's go back to base now!" she said suddenly.

"Ok?"

Everyone else looked at Qiao Zhi, including Lu Hanchuan.

Although I just said that we should return to the base as soon as possible, I didn’t say it had to be this fast!

"Sister Qiao, if we go back now, won't it be too late?" Ruan Liyang looked at the sky.

It's already afternoon, and it will be dark in two or three hours.

Shouldn't they have found a suitable place to set up camp as quickly as possible instead of walking in the mountains and forests in the dark?

Qiao Zhi understood what he meant. It was indeed late.

"Let's head back now and find a place to camp when it gets dark."

The danger in the mountains and forests has increased sharply recently, so she naturally cannot ignore everyone's safety.

No one knew why Qiao Zhi was suddenly so anxious to return to the base, but after a few days of getting along with her, Ruan Liyang and the other two also knew her character and knew that she would not easily change her decision.

As for Lu Hanchuan, whose strength is second only to Qiao Zhi, this man really has no opinion of his own and listens to Qiao Zhi in everything!

Lu Hanchuan was not without his own opinion, but he knew that Qiao Zhi would not go back for no reason, so he naturally would not refute her decision.

"Okay, we can go back now. We've almost found all the mutant herbs anyway."

Their main mission this time was to look for mutant medicinal herbs. In fact, they had almost found them a long time ago, but because the mutant beast meat was too attractive, they did not go back immediately.

In just a few days, they harvested a lot of mutant beast meat.

Qiao Zhi led everyone back.

Because the situation was urgent, the base could have made more preparations if they had known about it earlier, so Qiao Zhi did not hold back at all.

She used the surrounding plants to lead everyone away from dangerous places and rushed out as quickly as possible.

In just two hours, they covered a distance that would have taken them hours to complete.

The sun outside gradually set, and the forest soon became dark.

At this time, they needed to find a camping site as soon as possible.

The few of them slowed down and looked for a suitable place to camp while they were walking.

Just when they were about to fall into complete darkness, they finally found it.

After setting up the tent, Qiao Zhi surrounded their area with plants.

As for food, they all ate dry food and didn't dare to light a fire at all.

This is how they have been living these days.

The smell of cooking is too strong and can easily attract mutant beasts, putting them in danger.

But this dark night is destined not to be peaceful.

Qiao Zhi and Lu Hanchuan were on duty in the first half of the night. In the space where only the two of them were, Lu Hanchuan asked Qiao Zhi why he suddenly asked them to go back.

"Zhizhi, why are you so anxious to go back?"

Qiao Zhi did not hide anything from Lu Hanchuan.

"Recently, more and more mutant beasts have appeared in the mountains and forests. I suspect there may be a tide of mutant beasts, so I want to go back and inform the base as soon as possible." "A tide of mutant beasts?" Lu Hanchuan frowned.

Considering what has been happening these past few days, this is not impossible.

But, "Given the current condition of the base, we should be able to withstand the tide of mutant beasts."

The base purchased a lot of energy cannons from the RV. Although this thing consumes energy to use, it is very effective.

Moreover, the base's research institute also has many rare research results. As long as we know how to use them, we should be able to stop the attacks of mutant beasts.

"That's true." Qiao Zhi nodded in agreement.

After all, she had received news about the mutant beast tide from the barrage before, otherwise she wouldn't have put the energy cannon on the shelf.

You know, energy cannons are many years ahead of current technology.

If it was a concentrated bombing, the protective shield of her RV would not be able to withstand it.

"So the main reason we drove them out was because of the zombies!" Qiao Zhi emphasized the last two words.

Lu Hanchuan immediately understood what she meant: "You mean those zombies that escaped from the base earlier."

"Yes."

"There's an intelligent zombie among those zombies. It's been several days, and we don't know how much it has evolved to. If a wave of mutant beasts appears, it will definitely get involved."

That guy is very powerful. If he evolves again during this period, it will be even more difficult to deal with him.

So when he saw the comments saying that some people wanted to coexist peacefully with zombies, Qiao Zhi really wanted to curse those idiots to death.

What exactly gave them the illusion that zombies were something to be dealt with?

Our ancestors did say that we should be inclusive, but the prerequisite is that they can resist even if we are beaten.

Besides, our ancestors also said that those who are not of our race must have different hearts. Zombies can eat and infect people. If we don’t get rid of them quickly and still think about coexisting peacefully, our ancestors would be so angry if they knew.

"This is indeed a problem, and it's not just our base. Similar situations may occur at other bases as well."

Intelligent zombies are not a random phenomenon; they have also appeared in other bases.

Some bases solved the problem, but others let them escape.

As the two were talking, Qiao Zhi suddenly felt something strange outside.

"What's wrong?" Lu Hanchuan noticed her change.

"Something's happening outside!"

Qiao Zhi stood up and said, "We need to notify the others quickly."

"I'll go wake them up." Lu Hanchuan stood up.

He walked out while talking.

Ruan Liyang and the other two were in another tent. As professionally trained soldiers, they did not dare to fall asleep even with Qiao Zhi's various protections and vigilance.

So the three of them woke up as soon as Lu Hanchuan appeared outside their tent.

"Who?" It was Yin Kai's voice.

"it's me."

"Hurry up and get up, there's something going on outside."

After saying that, Lu Hanchuan walked back to Qiao Zhi.

"Can you feel what's out there?"

Seeing Qiao Zhi's serious expression, Lu Hanchuan asked softly.

"We are surrounded by a group of mutant mosquitoes." Qiao Zhi said with difficulty.

She didn't even know when these mosquitoes appeared here.

If the other party had not attacked the plants surrounding them, it would have been really fatal if she had not noticed anything and removed the plants tomorrow.

She had never seen what the mutated mosquito looked like, but thinking about the photos of mutated wasps posted by other psychics on the forum, she could roughly imagine what it looked like.

Mosquitoes naturally suck blood, and after the mutation, their blood-sucking ability may be even stronger. Moreover, if you are really bitten by them, bumps will appear on your body, and we don’t know how serious the problem will be.

After all, if mutant spiders are so poisonous, mosquitoes must be no less.

Within two sentences, Ruan Liyang and the other two came out of the tent.

When they heard Qiao Zhi say that there were mutant mosquitoes everywhere outside, their scalps suddenly went numb.

When facing large mutant beasts, even if you can't defeat them, you can run away. After all, there is only one large mutant beast, so it is not that scary.

But when faced with social pests like mosquitoes, even if they escape from the encirclement, they will probably be bitten a few times.

If it is bitten too many times, it is possible that it will die immediately.

The mosquitoes were trying to find a way to break through the plants, and Qiao Zhi could clearly feel that the plants covering their camp were slowly becoming thinner.

She immediately added several layers.

Who knew that this action would stir up a hornet's nest, causing the mutated mosquitoes to become agitated.

They actually began to devour the plants frantically. In just a few minutes, the thickened plant wall became thinner again.

"No, these mosquitoes devour us too quickly. The plant wall won't last long." Qiao Zhi looked grim.

Thickening the plant wall consumes her special abilities, and the consumption is not small.

Judging from the speed at which the mosquitoes were eating away at her, there was no way her ability would last until dawn.

Of course, in the forest, which was a favorable environment for her, it was impossible for her to be attacked by mosquitoes, but it was different for Lu Hanchuan and the others.

Her final life-saving skill can only be used on herself and cannot affect others.

"It would be great if there was someone with fire abilities. He could just burn a road through it." Ruan Liyang said with a rather annoyed tone.

Their abilities weren't very effective against mosquitoes.

Hearing him say this, Qiao Zhi suddenly looked up and looked at Sheng Jia and Yin Kai.

One of their skills is water-related, and the other is wind-related. Both are abilities that can be used on a group. If used well, they can buy them time to escape.

Moreover, the effect will definitely be doubled when Sheng Jia's water-based abilities are combined with Lu Hanchuan's thunder-based abilities.

After thinking about it, she told him her plan.

She would choose a location where the mosquitoes were less surrounded and withdraw her supernatural power, and then Yin Kai would use his wind power to open a path for them.

The rest naturally fell to Lu Hanchuan and Sheng Jia.

As for Qiao Zhi and Ruan Liyang, they are mainly responsible for protecting their safety and ensuring that the mutant mosquitoes cannot get close to them.

After the plan was discussed, Qiao Zhi began to make preparations.

She first controlled the plants outside to make some noise to attract the attention of the mutant mosquitoes, and then opened a hole in the weakest part of their defense.

When the army of mosquitoes tried to rush in, Yin Kai, who had been prepared, summoned a gust of wind.

The mutated mosquito's body is about the size of a fist, and it makes a buzzing sound when flapping its wings.

Although their bodies have grown larger, they are still too light for the wind.

So the strong wind brought by Yin Kai blew them away directly.

A path was cleared ahead, and Qiao Zhi and his companions seized the opportunity and immediately ran out from that path.
