Chapter 784: Evolution Forest in the Rain
Xia Qing drove around Territory No. 9 and returned to Territory No. 3.
There were no greenhouses or crops in Territory No. 9. There were seven people, including three members of Hu Zifeng's team and four members of Territory No. 8, who took turns to patrol. They could ensure that dangers were discovered in time. They would clean up the areas that could be cleaned up immediately, and report the areas that could not be cleaned up to Xia Qing. Therefore, Xia Qing did not have to stay in Territory No. 9 all night.
Xia Qing was sincerely grateful to Xin Yu, who was not talkative but was definitely a good friend.
She patrolled her own territory and greenhouses again, and after confirming that there were no huge potential risks, she hurried home to sleep for three hours. At 3:30 in the morning, she had to get up to harvest the third batch of red-leaf bamboo.
So after returning home and turning off the intercom, Xia Qing only took a quick shower, then dragged her two heavy legs and fell on the bed, falling asleep in seconds.
The sheep boss who was riding a power-generating bicycle downstairs heard that Xia Qing had fallen asleep, so he got off the bicycle and climbed onto the hanging chair to sleep.
The rain washed over the continent and the ocean. In the vast evolutionary forest in the north of Huisan, plants were growing wildly, and animals that had evolved out of control were fighting each other. Normal animals hid in caves or dens that they thought were safe to avoid the rain.
In the rubble of the cave on the top of the No. 60 mountain, there were several broken stones scattered. Six wolf cubs were crowded in the hanging chair, four wolf cubs were crowded in the pink wolf den, and three wolf cubs were lying on their backs on a dirty quilt, sleeping soundly. Outside these wolf cubs were their parents and the old and weak evolved wolves in the northern wolf pack.
Beyond them were the strong adult wolves.
"Ah...Ah~" A wolf cub sleeping in the pink wolf den closed his eyes and howled softly, and his furry short legs kicked restlessly.
The wolf leader lying high up opened his golden eyes, the legless girl raised her big paws to cover her ears, the wolfhound No. 2 beside the wolf den raised his head and licked the forehead of the wolf cub who was having a nightmare, the little guy opened his eyes and whimpered twice, turned over and arched, arched, arched, arched, arched, arched into the arms of the wolfhound No. 2, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
On Mount 55, the cracks in the rocks beside the python pond were crowded with all kinds of animals of all sizes hiding from the rain.
A bat-eating kite squatting on a high place stared straight at the vampire bats hanging upside down on the stone wall, as if evaluating which one was the biggest and most beautiful; a python probed with its forked tongue and quietly crawled towards a squirrel that was eating pine nuts.
Several big wild boars protected the little wild boars in the middle, and pointed their fangs at the two lynxes that were staring at them; a honey badger was fighting endlessly with a Tasmanian devil that was bigger than it, angering the sleeping mandrill next to it, which let out a loud roar.
A fawn hiding in the crevice was frightened by the mandrill and cried out. A leopard heard the cry, jumped over and dug its claws into the crevice a few times, but failed to grab the fawn, and roared in anger. The fawn was frightened and cried out louder, and a male deer with big antlers rushed over and butted the leopard in anger...
"Pah, pah--"
The sound of large beasts stepping on mud and water came from outside, and the animals with sensitive hearing in the crevice turned their ears at the same time and raised their heads.
An evolved wolf jumped quickly in the evolved forest and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Having lost its prey, the eight-meter-long crocodile sniffed and found new prey, and quickly rushed to the crack in the mountain.
"Bang!"
"Plop——"
The advancing crocodile knocked down a stone weighing several hundred kilograms, and the stone rolled into the python pool, splashing huge water.
The crocodile continued to rush towards the crack. Although its claws were sharp, it could not support its body to climb up the slippery stone wall and enter the crack. The crocodile, which had lost control, had no reason at all, and only knew to rush and climb desperately. The herbivores in the crack trembled with fear, and the carnivores showed their fangs and roared in a low voice.
"Plop——"
"Plop——"
The stones that were stepped on by the crocodile kept rolling into the pool, and finally startled the black python in the pool. The huge snake head poked out of the water and slowly rose.
The crocodile smelled the scent of the python, turned its head and flicked its tail, and pounced on the python.
The python probed with its forked tongue, as if it didn't want to fight with this fish, and slowly sank into the pool. The giant crocodile that had entered the pool dived into the water and slid over quickly.
Soon, water splashed in the python pool, and the giant python and the giant crocodile fought in one place.
An evolved wolf wearing a snake skin protective suit lay under a dense pine tree on the mountain peak, taking shelter from the rain and watching the battle.
A dull thunder rolled in, and the wolf sniffed and turned and jumped into the mountain peak to avoid the heavy rain.
In the southeast, halfway up the third peak of the 50th Mountain, Yanlong, who led the team to search for the escaped personnel, also heard the thunder, sniffed, and sent an order through the headset type intercom, "The heavy rain is about to get heavier, return to the No. 2 high-risk area."
"Yes."
Passing by a straight mountain crack that was only fist wide, Yanlong stopped and frowned slowly.
There was a smell left by frequent human activities in this crack, and there was more than one person. And there was a body odor here, why did it feel a little familiar?
This is... the smell of Ye Yang, the squad leader of the Yuehaiying Squadron. Wasn't he recuperating in Territory No. 15? How could there be his presence here?
There was another presence, it seemed like...
"Captain Yan?" The team members in front saw Yanlong stop, and they also stopped and asked about the situation through the intercom.
"It's okay, keep going." Yanlong replied calmly and continued to move forward.
Inside the mountain peak, there should be members of the secret planting project team in the No. 50 Mountain Experimental Area that Xia Qing mentioned. Yanlong should not and does not want to ask why Ye Yang appeared here.
After Yanlong led the team away, Hu Ningsheng breathed a silent sigh of relief and made a gesture to Zhang Shi at the other end.
Zhang Shi came over and asked in a low voice, "Who is outside?"
Hu Ningsheng replied, "It's Yanlong from Territory No. 7. She is leading a patrol to search for prisoners."
Hearing Yanlong's name, Zhang Shi's pupils trembled.
Yanlong, the ninth-level olfactory evolver who searched for her when she escaped from Huiyi Research Institute! If it weren't for the medicine that Zhang San gave her to mask her body odor, Zhang Shi might have had his bone marrow drained out.
At this moment, Zhang Shi's first reaction was to rush back to the cabin, take his daughter and hide in the evolutionary forest. It's too dangerous here, but it's safer in the evolutionary forest.
But when he returned to the wooden house and saw his sleeping daughter's little fleshy face, Zhang Shi hesitated again.
Zhang Shiyi felt his mother's uneasiness and stretched out his two little arms, "Mom..."
Zhang Shi took off his protective clothing, lay on the bed, held his daughter in his arms and patted her gently, "It's okay, the rain is getting heavier, go to sleep."
"Mom is sleeping too." Zhang Shi put his little head in his mother's arms and fell asleep quickly.
Zhang Shi quietly listened to the muffled thunder and the sound of running water in the aqueduct, slowly exhaled, and sent a message to Zhang San. (End of chapter)
