Chapter 357: A Strange Snake with a Human Face
Bai Zongde nodded, thinking that what He Yi said made sense, and continued to push his bicycle and follow Bai Zongde.
"Xinghua, why do I feel so cold so early in the morning?"
Qiao Xinghua looked around vigilantly, "It's just a psychological effect. Concentrate on guarding against sudden attacks."
"Xinghua, did you hear any sound?" Bai Zongde stopped, frowned and pricked up his ears to listen to the movements around him.
"The roar of zombies? Let's go and take a look..."
Five minutes later, the two men lay on the edge of a mud wall and looked into the yard.
Bai Zongde took a look and immediately squatted down against the wall, covering his mouth.
Qiao Xinghua frowned and squinted at the giant snake with a human face in the yard, and the eggs as big as bathtubs in the yard.
Under the sunlight, you can vaguely see objects swimming inside the eggshell.
Is this world really going to be magical?
He bent down, waved Bai Zongde's arm, and whispered: "Let's go..."
The two men quietly left the mud courtyard, walked around the woman in white, and returned to the main road.
After three or five waves of pursuit, we finally got into the research institute before dark.
He Yi raised his eyebrows amusedly at the two people who looked like mud monkeys, and joked:
“Dad sent you two over to get the blueprints and formulas?
Brother Zongde, it is hard for a civil servant like you to make it here alive."
“If Xinghua hadn’t met me along the way, you wouldn’t even have seen the fragments of my body.
Don't say anymore, my heart is filled with tears.
This journey was so horrible that I don’t even know if I’ll have nightmares when I sleep at night.”
Bai Zongde sat limply on the chair in the laboratory, patting his chest with lingering fear. He was really scared.
"Oh, he was indeed scared along the way." Qiao Xinghua crossed his arms over his chest and looked at Bai Zongde with amusement.
"However, we encountered two strange things on the way here."
He Yi leaned on the edge of the laboratory table, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the weird look?"
“On our way here, we found that the zombies seemed to have become smarter. They no longer bite aimlessly, but instead fight in groups.
Also encountered a strange snake.
This snake is extremely large, thicker than a gasoline barrel, and has a human face.
Qiao Xinghua crossed his arms and recalled the situation at that time, frowning, "The giant snake was hatching eggs, and the whole yard was full of eggs as big as bathtubs.
Under the sunlight, you can clearly see something moving inside, and it looks like it is about to break out of the shell."
He turned his head sharply and looked at Zuo Zixuan who was sitting next to him, "Xuanxuan, could that strange snake be created by humans and snakes?"
Zuo Zixuan shook his head without even thinking about it. "Impossible, humans belong to the family Hominidae in the order Primates, and there are huge differences between humans and other animals in terms of species.
What you are talking about is simply impossible to happen.
You see its head looks like a human face, it may be affected by the virus and deformed into that shape.
And you said that the zombies have become smarter, that's indeed the case.
The virus in the zombies' bodies has mutated, and their parasites will definitely change to some extent.
I have studied the zombie virus thoroughly, and we have anesthetics, so they can't have any effect on us at the moment.
But the giant snake you're talking about sounds very dangerous.
That thing was only ten kilometers away from the border, but it did not attack the border.
Maybe it's incubating eggs now and has no time to do anything.
But after it hatches the eggs, it's hard to say.
For the safety of the border, we must first find a way to kill the snake to avoid endless troubles. "
Everyone present agreed with Zuo Zixuan's proposal.
If such a huge monster attacks the border, many people will die.
The only way is to destroy it and its eggs in one fell swoop.
"Hey, we all understand the reason, but we can't just shoot such a big guy, right?
Once the gun is opened, it will attract countless zombies to attack."
“Bullets are probably useless against this kind of mutated monster.
I suggest you mix a large amount of anesthetic, or a drug powder, to knock it unconscious, and then set it and its eggs to death with a fire."
For dinner, Zuo Zixuan and her family waited until the children were full before going into the kitchen to eat.
“This dish is really good...
You guys are so lucky, you can save a chef just by saving him."
Bai Zongde held up the bowl and ate rice with big mouthfuls, speaking incoherently.
He and Qiao Xinghua had been running all day and were so tired and hungry that he felt he could have eaten a whole bowl of rice.
Zuo Zixuan nodded and said, "Qingqing's cooking skills are indeed quite good. Thanks to her, we can have hot meals every day.
But next time you come, you will have to take her away, and I really don’t want to let her go.”
Zhou Qingqing, who was sitting at the door playing with her children, pursed her lips when she heard Zuo Zixuan's words. She couldn't describe the feeling in her heart.
At dawn the next day, Zhou Qingqing cooked two large bowls of noodles for Qiao Xinghua and Bai Zongde, and added two eggs for each of them.
"This noodle is too luxurious." Bo Zongde smiled and stirred the noodles in the bowl.
Zhou Qingqing wiped her hands on her homemade apron, grinned, revealing two dimples, and smiled brightly.
"Xuanxuan said that your journey back home is very difficult, so she asked me to make you a hearty breakfast.
He also asked me to pack some water and food for you on the road.”
Bai Zongde held a mouthful of noodles in his mouth and said vaguely: "Xuanxuan is still considerate, unlike He Yi, that bad boy, who only knows how to tease me."
"Tsk tsk tsk, why don't you keep your voice down when you say bad things about me behind my back? I can hear it from the other end of the corridor." He Yi walked into the kitchen carrying two backpacks and two tranquilizer guns.
He put the things on the table and said, "There are already ten rounds of anesthetic in this tranquilizer gun.
Both backpacks were also filled with anesthetics.
I have to stay to protect Xuanxuan and the others, I can't leave.
Be sure to be safe on the road and call me when you arrive.
I'll be waiting in the duty room.
Brother-in-law, you are a civilian official and your shooting skills are not very good.
If you are attacked by zombies, just protect yourself and don't try to be brave. "
Bai Zongde held the bowl, turned around, took a big sip of noodles, and said with red eyes:
"Who are you looking down on? I also passed the shooting test at school."
Qiao Xinghua put down the bowl and nodded, "Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen.
Now that we have the tranquilizer gun, we estimate that we will be able to return to the base at the junction by noon at the latest.
You guys should also pay more attention to safety here."
He Yi smiled and nodded, patting Qiao Xinghua's arm.
After breakfast, He Yi sent them to the junction of the suburbs. After watching them walk away, he turned back to the research institute.
Qiao Xinghua and Bai Zongde's journey was really not peaceful, because when they came, they attracted a lot of zombies along the way.
On the way back, we were chased by dozens of waves of zombies.
After He Yi returned to the research institute, he sat in the duty room waiting for Qiao Xinghua's call.
It was past three in the afternoon and he still hadn't received a call, so he started to get anxious.
I called the base and they said the two had not returned yet.
After receiving the call at the base, He's father learned that the two had set out at dawn and had not returned yet, and he became very anxious.
It was after eight o'clock in the evening when He Yi received a call from Bai Zongde.
He Yi nervously held the microphone and asked, "Brother Xinghua, did you encounter any trouble on the road?"
“It’s more than just something that happened.
On our way back, we saw several strange-looking snakes running out from the direction where the strange snake was hatching eggs.
Some have half of their heads missing, some have one head and two tails, some have two heads and one tail, and some are short and thick as if they were inflated.
Do you know what they do?
They come out to eat zombies.
After eating, it drags the zombies back to feed the mother snake that is incubating eggs.
After eating and drinking, it actually climbed onto the eggs and helped the mother snake hatch other eggs.
What does this mean? Snakes, which are solitary animals, now not only live in groups, but also have intelligence.
This is absolutely terrifying.
Zongde and I were following the group of snake cubs. When we were walking back, we happened to run into a two-headed snake dragging a zombie back. It chased us for a long distance.
I couldn't run anymore, so I took out my gun and blew its head off.
As a result, this guy didn't die after his head was blown off. He turned around and the head on his tail started attacking us again.
I opened it again and blew up its other head.
The snake was dealt with, but the zombies who heard the gunshots came over.
We were hiding from place to place, and if we hadn't brought enough anesthetics, we would have died there today."
He Yi took a deep breath. As long as they arrived safely, it would be fine. If they didn't call him again, he would be ready to go find them with a tranquilizer gun.
"Brother Xinghua, then you tell Dad about the situation and let Dad handle it as soon as possible.
According to what you said, the remaining eggs that have not hatched will probably hatch soon.
Once all the eggs hatch and the mother snake escapes, the border will be in danger."
"Don't worry, Dad and the others are waiting. I will report the situation and kill the monster snake as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Xinghua didn't even have time to eat a bite of food. He immediately went to the meeting tent to report on what happened along the way.
In order to avoid repeating the report, Mr. He called his top leader.
When the big boss heard the content of the meeting, he was completely shocked.
cockatrice?
The zombie issue hasn't been resolved yet, and now something new has occurred.
Even snakes have mutated, so are there any other animals that have mutated as well?
He immediately convened an emergency meeting in the middle of the night, mainly to speed up the production of anesthetics and anesthetic guns.
We need to produce a batch quickly and go in to deal with that strange snake first.
That snake nest is so close to the border, it's like a time bomb.
Snakes are cold-blooded animals and do not feel any pain at all. If that strange snake and its cubs rushed to the border and destroyed the high-voltage power grid, wouldn't that be disastrous?
I don’t know how the Animal Research Institute knew about Qiao Xinghua and his friends encountering the strange snake.
Early the next morning, the director of the institute, Xu Zhen, ran to the big boss's office.
They asked the troops to help their research institute catch a baby snake for research.
The big boss, holding a cigarette in his hand, looked at Xu Zhen in astonishment.
"Xu Zhen, give me a list of people who want to participate in this project research."
