However, mutated insects are not just mosquitoes.2
In the horrified gaze of Cui Hao and Yun Hai, a rather low flapping sound was heard, like the sound of a helicopter flying, and another large shadow flew up from the bottom of the mountain.
"Dragonflies! So these giant mosquitoes are fleeing from their natural enemies! God bless, the food chain has not been completely destroyed." This time, before the shadow flew closer, Cui Hao saw clearly, and the despair on his face immediately faded a little.14
"How about you go out and try, see if these dragonflies only eat mosquitoes."1
This sentence flashed in Yun Hai's mind, but he didn't say it. He nervously watched the mutated insects like a black cloud, very worried that these insects would fly to the Alien Queen's nest.
With so many mutated insects, unless burned with fire in a large area, no one could withstand it.
The number was clearly less than the giant mosquitoes, but the dragonflies that appeared on the top of the mountain were nearly a meter in size, like miniature fighter planes, nimbly chasing the swarm of giant mosquitoes, fully enjoying their feast.16
With such a back-and-forth chase, the swarm of mosquitoes frantically fled to the south, a large number of dragonflies chased relentlessly, and soon, they disappeared from the sight of the two.
Letting out a long breath, the color of joy that had previously appeared in Cui Hao's eyes disappeared, replaced by deep worry.
"Insects, they have also mutated, this is a more terrifying threat than the zombies we previously miscalculated."1
"Yun Hai, do you know how many kinds of insects there are on this earth? Under our feet, in the ground, that is their kingdom. The number doesn't need to be said, globally only the types of insects alone exceed one million, and this is only what we have discovered."14
Hearing his extremely heavy words, Yun Hai nodded and remained silent.
In his heart, he was faintly worried that as more and more mutated creatures appeared, if the Alien Queen did not grow up when more terrifying mutated creatures appeared, then the problem would be big.
"Don't say anything else, let's just talk about ants. If ants mutate and evolve, they don't need to be big, just the size of a human thumb, and have strong aggressiveness like other mutated creatures, just think about how many ants there are in the whole world, do we humans still have a way out?"25
The more he spoke, the sadder he became, Cui Hao's expression dimmed, his heart was numb.
"Cheer up, don't be too pessimistic." Yun Hai cheered up and patted him on the shoulder.
"There are many ant nests in this mountain, if they all evolve and mutate, how could we not see them."
While comforting Cui Hao, suddenly, shouts and commotion came from the direction of the hotel lobby, Yun Hai's expression changed, he patted Cui Hao's shoulder heavily, then ran to open the door and rushed to the lobby.
The survivors were scattered far away in the lobby, some of the timid ones even frantically ran to their respective rooms. Yun Hai rushed into the lobby and saw the scene clearly, and couldn't help but be shocked.
Da Tou (Big Head) lay on the floor of the lobby, convulsing in pain, his mouth open as if wanting to scream in pain, but white frost sprayed out of his mouth, making not a single sound.1
"What happened to him?" Yun Hai quickly asked the college student Guan Da next to him. He was about to rush over to see him, but Cui Hao, who was chasing after him, grabbed him.
With an attitude as if he was going to attack Da Tou at any moment, Guan Da said with a panicked expression: "Don't know. After the mosquitoes and dragonflies left, everyone was discussing, he was sitting not far next to me, didn't hear him speak, suddenly he fell to the ground and rolled around."
"Yun Hai, kill him quickly! There must be parasites in his body, he's going to become a zombie."
Four Eyes stood far away, anxiously shouting at Yun Hai.
Yun Hai ignored him, nervously watching Da Tou from a distance.
His expression was extremely painful, Da Tou's face was completely distorted, convulsing violently, the situation was really like a parasite was drilling inside his body and devouring his internal organs.
"Should we act, be careful he suddenly attacks?" Cui Hao's judgment was clearly the same as Qi Xiangyu's, he asked in a low voice while standing next to Yun Hai.
His gaze fell on Da Tou's increasingly pale face, Yun Hai didn't know what to do. Suddenly seeing an anomaly, he couldn't help but exclaim "Eh".
The white frost was no longer limited to the slightly open mouth, a large amount of frost began to appear on the surface of Da Tou's body, and gradually, the thick and non-spreading frost turned into ice.
Yun Hai and Cui Hao were some of the closest people, they only felt as if they were suddenly in an ice cave, the temperature in the room dropped sharply.
His body instantly turned into an ice lump, Da Tou who was bending over became an ice sculpture.
However, a moment later, another magical scene appeared, the layer of ice wrapping Da Tou's body melted in an instant, turning into cold air, and then disappeared into his body.
Slowly opening his eyes, his gaze was a little confused, Da Tou stood up, looked around, his gaze stopped on Yun Hai, then looked down at his body.
"Could it be that he mutated, or evolved?" It must be said that Cui Hao's brain turned very quickly, Yun Hai was still feeling strange, he excitedly said in a low voice.
"Mutation! Evolution!" Yun Hai was surprised and delighted.1
What was gratifying was that it wasn't just other creatures that mutated, humans would also mutate. From the scene he had just seen, Yun Hai believed that Da Tou was definitely different from before.
This was clearly a glimmer of light in the darkness. In this collapsed world, only if more humans mutated and evolved, would there be a possibility of survival, otherwise, there would be thousands of difficulties.8
There was joy and also surprise, Yun Hai was afraid that he would become like other creatures, becoming irrational and very aggressive at the same time as mutation. If that was true, then the problem would be big.
The atmosphere in the lobby was particularly tense, the others didn't know what had happened to Da Tou, afraid that he would suddenly attack, even their breathing was held.
Yun Hai was also a little nervous, and asked in a low voice: "Da Tou, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing Yun Hai's words, clearly his brain hadn't frozen, Da Tou grinned at him, then raised his hand and looked at his finger.
In the eyes of everyone who was wide-eyed, on Da Tou's middle finger, cold air quickly surged and immediately extended into an ice cone, half a foot long.6
The ice cone changed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and quickly turned into an ice knife, the top was sharp, and the end extended into a knife handle, which automatically entered his palm.
"Compared to mutation, I prefer the word evolution. In line with his guess, I think I may have evolved. Besides having an ability, I am still the same me."26
Opening his palm, the ice knife turned into cold air and disappeared into his palm. Da Tou raised his head, with genuine joy on his face, smiling very happily.
"Uh ... Da ... Xiao Li, can you tell us how you evolved?"
Qi Xiangyu felt relieved after hearing this, ran over and asked with a smile.
Da Tou's name was "Li Jiangtao", only because his head was a bit big did he get this nickname. But now that he had evolved and possessed such a magical ability, Qi Xiangyu naturally didn't dare to call him casually anymore.6
"Don't know." Da Tou shook his head, with a confused expression.
At this time, several women carrying plates walked into the lobby, two men behind them carrying wooden buckets filled with dry rice. They had been in the kitchen earlier and didn't know what had happened, seeing everyone in the lobby staring at Da Tou with different expressions, they couldn't help but be stunned.2
Yun Hai said with a smile: "Eat first, if there's anything, we'll talk about it later."
Just like yesterday, cutting rice balls with diced meat, only they fried a few more basins of meat dishes that were not suitable for storage, but not many people ate happily, everyone constantly glanced at Da Tou, with different expressions.1
Reaching out to freeze the teacup on the table, and from time to time condensing ice cones on his fingertips and stabbing them into the wooden table, Da Tou, who had just mutated, was clearly very excited, playing happily.
Unable to resist reaching out and touching the ice blade that had just formed in Da Tou's hand, he only felt cold to the touch, no different from ordinary ice. Yun Hai asked enviously: "So many people, only you evolved, really lucky."
"My mother said since I was little that I was a lucky person. I said that I couldn't survive in the city before, and finally came back to be a security guard. Where is there any luck. It turns out that what my mother said was the evolution she meant." Da Tou raised his head with a smile, and then saw that almost everyone was staring at him.2
In two or three bites, he finished the rice ball, Da Tou wiped his mouth, stood up and said to everyone: "In this situation, the more people who evolve among us survivors, the safer everyone will be. I have no reason to lie to you, I really didn't know what was happening at that time, I was just sitting and suddenly felt unwell."
"What did you feel at that time?"
Originally fearful, but hearing him say this, Cui Hao immediately asked.
With his brows furrowed, Da Tou racked his brains and thought for a moment, then said: "At that time, I felt like I suddenly fell into an ice hole, the surrounding air was terribly cold, before I could react, the cold air entered my body through my mouth, nose, and pores all over my body, my internal organs were like being pierced by thousands of ice needles, that feeling ..."1
As he spoke, he stopped, Da Tou couldn't help but shudder, remembering his near-death experience just now, with an expression of lingering fear on his face.
