Chapter 256 Tuber

"We can't withdraw now. We have to wait for the reinforcements to come and clear all these mutated creatures, otherwise the consequences of running into the villages and towns will be disastrous."

The squadron leader in command is a sharp, short-inch man. Hearing the words, he explained: "In addition, there are so many mutant creatures suddenly appearing. We must find out the reason and solve it as soon as possible, otherwise the herd will become bigger and bigger and will hit the town sooner or later."

"no problem."

Lin Yu nodded clearly.

The origin of these herds is indeed a bit strange, not only because of the supposedly small mutation probability, but also because of the quantity.

Even if it is a 100% mutation, where did so many wild boars and hares come from? Laogou Mountain is not a primeval jungle with rich products, not to mention herds of animals, and a wild boar and hare are hard to see.

So many beasts either ran out of wormholes or rapidly reproduced and mutated for some reason. If left unchecked, sooner or later it would cause serious trouble.

"Come on, Fenrir and I will lead the way."

Immediately, Lin Yu didn't talk nonsense, and took two thermal shock knives in front, and Fenrir entered the herd of beasts and moved forward.

It is called a valley here, but it is actually a depression between two mountains. There is a big mountain not far in front, but the vegetation is relatively sparse, and it looks a bit bald. It is obviously spoiled by a large number of wild animals.

Going all the way with the special forces, after leaving the mountain col, I barely escaped the beast tide of melee. There are a lot less mutant creatures along the way, especially after going up the Bald Mountain, and I only bump into small groups from time to time. wild boar.

But relatively, the variation degree of the pigs on the mountain is obviously much higher, and the worst ones have reached the first level. Occasionally, some fat and strong ones are comparable to the second-level dimensional creatures, and the force of the collision is even stronger. More than anything.

"Don't tell me this is a pig farm, where are there so many pigs?"

Walking up to the foot of the mountain, after killing a herd of pigs, Lin Yu swung the thermal shock knife. Looking at the blood clots on it that had condensed and burned instantly due to the high temperature, he rubbed against a big tree in distaste, scalding a Deep elongated carbonized depressions.

"Hey, I think it's good to have more pigs. It just so happens that the price of swine fever has increased recently. If you slaughter more pigs and move them back, you may be able to reduce the price of pork."

A special forces member who was closer to Lin Yu answered with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, please see if you recognize this thing."

At this time, the squadron leader He Tian, ​​who had led his people to inspect the battlefield, hurried over with a clod of soil.

"Is this dug up nearby?"

Lin Yu accepted it suspiciously.

What He Tian was holding was not a clod of soil, but a plant tuber similar to taro, but rounder and harder.

"That's right, it was dug out from the dirt slope over there. The soil on the dirt slope is relatively new and doesn't seem to have been exposed. It seems that these wild boars have just dug up the dirt and turned it into food."

He Tian nodded.

"Do you suspect that these beast mutations are related to this?"

Lin Yu took the tuber and looked at it twice, and then said helplessly: "It may not be impossible, but Captain He, please don't treat me as a panacea. I don’t have much research to learn these things.”

"Hey, don't you think Mr. Lin is a well-informed, great scientist. I think you know a little more than us."

He Tian also laughed when he heard the words.

"That will disappoint you. I can't recognize them. They don't look like taro potatoes, but they should also be plant tubers rich in starch. Wild boars seem to like to dig these things... By the way, tubers are just Root, do you have leaves? The leaves should be easier to identify."

Lin Yu actually suspected that these tubers might be related to the mutation of the surrounding animals, so he was very concerned about it.

Although the beast tide in the melee in the valley just now was very mixed, in fact, there were only three or four main ones, wild boars, snakes, rabbits, mice, and occasionally pheasants. Most of them like to dig holes or dig holes. Foraging on the ground, and most of them are omnivores, the probability of eating these tubers is very high, and it is also the biggest commonality between them.

"No related branches were found. The underground roots are very complicated and deep, and the upper branches cannot be determined."

He Tian smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Then there's no other way. Take this thing and go back for testing or continue to explore. It's up to Squadron He to decide. You are the professional commander."

Lin Yu smiled, and conveniently put the round tuber into the tactical item bag.

If these mutated creatures were really caused by these tubers as guessed, then the value of these tubers would be greatly increased.

Mutating creatures, or absorbing dark energy to transform the body, if it can be researched and made into a potion, it is almost equivalent to another awakening potion. At most, it can only strengthen the body and is slightly less valuable than the awakening potion.

But these tubers can support mutated creatures all over the mountains and plains, and the output is obviously not bad. Even if the effect is poor, at least it is energy production, just like the difference between the Assault Slayer and the Dragon Fist suit. Personally speaking, the former More importantly, but for the country, the latter is a strategic artifact.

Moreover, the effect of these tubers is not just to strengthen creatures. With so many beasts in the mountains, it would be strange if they did not have the effect of enhancing reproduction and growth. Population explosion potion for multiple births...the value of in-depth development is immeasurable.

"This wave doesn't seem to be a loss, at least it's a big credit, and..."

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Yu's expression became strange.

Catalytic growth? Isn't this what Dad lacks?

Normally, the body structure of organisms has genetic restrictions and memory. Unless there are small probability events such as mutation, cells will not break away from the basic framework no matter how they grow. That is to say, catalytic growth can only be used as a quick-acting way to enhance self-healing ability medicine.

But Lin Jin can control the cell organization, as long as the speed of cell division and differentiation catches up, the differentiated cells can be continuously drawn out to build bone armor.

The Bone Armor just happened to be defective, so it was delivered to the door by accident? Why can't I encounter such a good thing?

Dad, this protagonist template is too bullying! ! ! We have all become tool people!

"It's okay, I'm not sour, I'm not sour, anyway, the materials are in my hands, and in general, I still make money, yes, I'm not sour."

Lin Yu thought of lemon again.

"Mr. Lin? Mr. Lin!"

He Tian's shout brought Lin Yu back to reality: "I've already reported the matter, but I decided to go to the mountain to explore, and then I will trouble you."

"Oh, it's okay, don't bother, let's go."

Lin Yu came to his senses and nodded quickly.

trouble? It's a joke, if the guess is true, this is the best time to take credit, don't talk about trouble, even if you drive him away, he won't be able to leave.
