Start a Base

Chapter 119: Mutation

The heavy rain that lasted for a week finally dissipated on the eighth day.

The river was still within the cordon, and Li Yunpeng's heart was finally put down.

However, he saw Zhang Tao trotting all the way and hurriedly coming from the outer city. When he came to the front, he didn't catch his breath. He said solemnly, "Commander, there is no one in the labor camp working in the nearby farmland!"

"Oh? Is the law enforcement team's supervision oversight?" Li Yunpeng asked.

"Executive, the law enforcement team, some people are missing." Zhang Tao was a little worried. As the chief executive, he could not shirk the blame for such incidents.

"The law enforcement team is also missing?" Li Yunpeng thought to himself, saying that the people in the labor camp were dissatisfied with the punishment, and the possibility of defecting was indeed high.

But not everyone in the law enforcement team can enter the base. Every team member cherishes this job, and the possibility of defecting is unlikely.

"Let's go, take me to see." Li Yunpeng couldn't guess the reason instead of seeing it with his own eyes.

When Zhang Tao brought Li Yunpeng and the special team guards to the farmland on the hillside not far from the base, he saw the crops that were originally half-person tall, large tracts of crops falling down, and a mess.

There are many panicked footprints on the ground, some of which are humans and animals, and some are scattered with dried blood.

"Is it possible to encounter a beast? But before the end of the world, here is a place of prosperity, how can there be room for a beast? Li Yunpeng is puzzled.

"Follow the footprints!" Li Yunpeng commanded immediately after being bold and daring.

The group of people shuttled through the hills in the fields and walked for an hour. With his professional tracking ability, Li Dun followed his footprints and remaining clues to the depths of the mountains.

"Commander, there are human remains in front of you." Li Dun said.

Li Yunpeng came closer and saw that there were only a few skeletons on the ground, and some torn fabrics. The color and style should belong to the law enforcement team.

There are only a few animals that can eat people, but they shouldn't be around the base!

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly a cloudy wind blew, and a black shadow swooped over.

Li Yunpeng was shocked instantly, "Huh, I'm looking for death!"

In the eyes of others, the black shadow, which is as fast as lightning, is still too slow for Li Yunpeng.

He had already clearly seen that it was a native dog. To be sure, it was a mutated native dog. The hair on his body had been lost, the naked flesh was hideous, his eyes were blood-red, and his fangs protruding.

"Boom!"

Just as the mutant dog rose into the air, Li Yunpeng flew it out with a whip leg.

There was an obvious depression on the belly of the earth dog, but it seemed to be all right. After rolling on the ground twice, it stood up and rushed.

Until this time, Zhang Tao and others could clearly see the appearance of the beast.

Li Dun was about to draw his spear and was pressed by Li Yunpeng. When the mutant dog pounced again, Li Yunpeng's knife flashed, and he was in a different place.

The special squad was immediately alert to prevent its similar sneak attacks.

For Li Yunpeng, the special squad can only rely on experience to prevent long-distance sniping or other insidious tricks to face the enemy head-on, and no one can threaten his safety.

But after all, it was his personal guards, and it was time for them to start evolving.

Li Yunpeng ordered Li Dun to break open the head of the mutant dog, and indeed found a first-level evolution crystal from it. Li Yunpeng did not take it back, but let Li Dun find a chance to eat it.

"Is the animal mutated because of the heavy rain? Or the fluorescence above the clouds?" Li Yunpeng didn't know, but no matter what, the situation of the survivors became more severe.

Compared to the nearly tens of billions of humans in the world, the number of animals is more than one trillion!

This is just a dog, what if it is a big beast?

Li Yunpeng did not dare to think about it, humble survivors, pray that not all animals have mutated.

After getting the answer, Li Yunpeng led the team back. Everyone was silent along the way. This was not a disaster for the base, but another catastrophe for the entire surviving mankind.

"Li Qi, investigate and count the proportion of animal mutations to determine whether there are also mutated organisms in the water." Li Yunpeng, who returned to the base, ordered.

"Yes!"

"Li Yi, all those who go out to work must send a guard team to follow. I am afraid that there will be more and more mutant animals in the future."

The animal mutation has nothing to do with the previous heavy rain and the fluorescence in the sky, and Li Yunpeng would not believe it if he killed Li Yunpeng.

In the last few months, a mutant animal has not been seen, and just after a mysterious heavy rain, the mutant animal appeared.

"Other squadron leaders, lead their subordinates to strangle the mutant animals around the base!" Li Yunpeng ordered.

"Yes!"

When everyone took their orders and left, Ren Xiao walked slowly from a distance.

"Is this really drunk again?" Li Yunpeng was speechless for a while, M's. Since Ren Xiao and Liu Zide got together, the two didn't know who was influencing who, anyway, they became more and more secondary school together.

"Hiccup! Li, brother Li, I heard that mutant animals have appeared? I have to go!" Ren Xiao said with a burp.

Li Yunpeng took a step back, avoiding the unpleasant alcohol, and said, "What does the mutant animal have to do with you?"

"Huh! That's a big deal. My brother gave me the nickname, mutant animal hunter."

Li Yunpeng felt that talking to him was a waste of time, and thought to himself: "Uncle Hunter, the mutant animal just appeared, the ghost gave you your nickname?"

Li Yunpeng was too lazy to care about his death, but he still urged him insecurely: "Be careful, don't die outside."

Ren Xiao: "..."

After Ren Xiao left, Liu Zide ran over in a hurry and asked, "Brother Peng, where is Ren Xiao?"

"gone?"

"Where did you go?"

"do not know."

"I didn't say when to come back?"

Li Yunpeng was irritated when he asked, "He is your father, you care about him so much!"

"..."

"Brother Peng, have you forgotten? I am an orphan!" Liu Zide said.

Li Yunpeng took a serious look at him, then turned and walked away.

He felt that Ren Xiao and Liu Zide must be long-lost brothers.

In the evening, the hunting teams returned one after another, leaving 6 squadrons, bringing back nearly 20 evolution crystals.

Li Yunpeng looked at the evolution crystal on the table and fell into deep thought.

All this proved his conjecture that mutated animals are not special cases, but universal.

According to the description of the squadron leader, mutant animals are not limited to dogs, such as squirrels, domestic pigs, monkeys, and even birds. They are all mutated, and the proportion cannot be estimated because all the animals encountered have mutated.

The only good news is that the organisms in the water have not mutated.

"From today, each squadron leader will take turns participating in duty, the number of soldiers on patrol will double, and the mutant animals that may appear nearby will be closely monitored." Li Yunpeng ordered.

The squadron leaders looked serious, and pledged in unison that they would never let a mutant animal approach the base.

Li Yunpeng distributed the crystals and asked the squadron leaders to raise the evolution level to the top of the first level to deal with possible dangers.

After the meeting, Li Yunpeng came to the military industrial zone. Zhou Gu was still developing the key components of the bullet production line. Seeing the commander came to inspect, he quickly put down his work, his legs were brought together, and his waist was slightly bent. Do you have any instructions for coming here?"

Li Yunpeng looked at Zhou Gu's nervous look and calmed down: "Worker Zhou does not need to be nervous. I know that the automated production line has a complicated structure and the conditions on hand are limited. I am not here to urge you."

Zhou Gu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He has not been to the base for a short time, but the bullet production line still lacked a few key components that did not meet the standards.

His position in the base is respected, but he has not seen any success, and it is inevitable that he is somewhat guilty.

"I am looking for you this time to develop a weapon to deal with the coming crisis!" Li Yunpeng said solemnly.
