Chapter 169 Hangshan Zoo - Beginning
The ancient capital covers a large area, and Hangshan Zoo is located on the edge of the mountain. It takes three hours to drive from the small manor.
During this time, Bai Suzhen had already eaten all the mutated human corpses that Miao Yin had brought back, and her size had increased considerably since then.
Miao Yin originally intended for it to remain in the manor to suppress the Spider-Man in the cabin and protect the manor.
But Lady White Snake seemed to have other ideas.
"Hiss-"
It coiled around the off-road vehicle, flicking its tongue at Miao Yin.
"You want to go out?"
Lady White Snake nodded.
It had been staying in the manor for quite some time, and the power it had accumulated inside it couldn't unleash made it restless, so it wanted to go out and cause some trouble.
Miao Yin looked at its enormous body, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "You want to come with us?"
Lady White Snake looked down at her own body, then tilted her head and swam to Miao Yin's side.
With a sound of bones contracting, Bai Suzhen's enormous snake body began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Finally, it transformed into a snake only half a meter long, and with a flick of its tail, it flew from the car onto Miao Yin's arm and coiled around her.
"The White Snake Lady can shrink?!" You Wenwen exclaimed in surprise.
Clearly, no one knew about this.
Because of its enormous body, it often accidentally crushes many things, even damaging many of the newly sprouted seedlings in the garden.
People usually avoid it, fearing that if Lady White Snake doesn't see it, she might crush them to death.
Unexpectedly, it evolved the ability to change its body shape.
Miao Yin flicked it on the forehead: "You were hiding this trick?"
"Hiss hiss hiss." Lady White Snake closed her eyes and pretended to be dead.
“The small manor can’t be left unattended. Ji Yuanzhou, you stay here this time and keep an eye on that Spider-Man inside.”
"okay."
Ji Yuanzhou hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.
"So what exactly is the purpose of keeping that mutant human?" Tu Hao asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Of course it's useful. Do you think demonic fetuses are so easy to catch?"
"Sister, I'll keep the rabbits too," Yan Shuzhou said.
His summons could have left him.
"it is good."
Miao Yin opened the gate to the small manor and then handed the remote control for controlling the electricity to Ji Yuanzhou.
A sleek off-road vehicle, polished to a shine by the nine-tailed rabbits, started up, stepped on the gas, and headed to Hangshan Zoo.
Having stayed indoors for a while, the mutated people in the ancient capital have become stronger again.
The sound of the car starting attracted many monsters, who would suddenly pounce from some corner and attack the humans.
Fortunately, the car had a crash barrier, which blocked a lot of the impact.
To reduce wear and tear on the vehicle, Ling also wrapped it with thorns, adding an extra layer of protection.
Miao Yin stroked Bai Niangzi's little head and sat in the passenger seat, while Tu Hao drove.
"Tsk, this is never going to end." He looked at another mutant rushing out in front of him with annoyance, stomped his foot hard, and sent it flying.
“Country C has the largest population, which should have been a good thing, but after the apocalypse, it became a fatal flaw,” Miao Yin said calmly.
Their country is divided into two regions, Jingzhou and Xizhou, by rivers and mountains, with Jingzhou accounting for two-thirds of the entire country.
This is the place with the most deformed and most vicious people in the world.
Most of the ten scarlet calamities also originated here.
"Then why did you settle down in the ancient capital? Knowing full well that this is the most dangerous place."
"Opportunities often come with crises. If I were in another place, I wouldn't have achieved this so quickly."
"Was this trip to the zoo also like this?"
"of course."
"Sister, are mutated animals more powerful?" Yan Shuzhou asked.
"Even if tigers and lions become monsters, they will still be more powerful than humans."
When the Black Tide raged, those birds and beasts were the most difficult to deal with.
"Small boat." Miao Yin called.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"After visiting Hangshan Zoo, on our way back, we'll go to Yaori Shopping Mall again."
Yan Shuzhou was taken aback: "Do we still need to go back there?"
“Three buildings, we only went to one, didn’t we? So much time has passed, the mutants inside must have fattened up, it’s time to harvest them.” Miao Yin looked at him through the rearview mirror.
Are you still afraid of that place?
Are you still afraid of that feeling of being betrayed by the whole world?
"...It's been a long time. Now, the crystal core is more important to us. If the mutants in the mall are all of high level, then we should go." Yan Shuzhou looked out the window at the scenery rushing past, lost in thought.
"That's good."
Miao Yin withdrew her gaze.
"You brought him back from the Sunrise Shopping Mall?" Tu Hao asked, somewhat surprised.
Although he had never been there, he could roughly guess what it was like inside from what they told him.
After all, that's the famous Yao Ri Shopping Mall, with tens of thousands of customers every day. It's packed with people. With the arrival of the anomaly, it's absolutely hell inside.
"There probably isn't a single survivor in that mall. You're so weak, how could you possibly survive with just a few rabbits?"
Tu Hao always has a knack for turning a question into a sarcastic remark.
"What's it to you?" Yan Shuzhou said coldly.
"Has your relationship deteriorated to this extent?" Ling asked.
It seems that these two started arguing for no apparent reason from a certain day.
Ling looked at the unmoved Miao Yin and wondered if she had done something.
"Don't make noise," Miao Yin knocked on the car window, stopping the two.
"Coming."
They had already entered the bend, and ahead, the road sign for Hangshan Zoo had appeared.
"Wait, stop the car." Miao Yin suddenly called out to stop the car.
Tu Hao instinctively slammed on the brakes: "What are you doing?"
Miao Yin opened the car door and walked into the artificial forest outside.
Seeing that she seemed to have discovered something, the people in the car also got out.
The further you went in, the stronger the stench of decay became; the soil was damp and soaked with blood.
They followed behind her, and after seeing the thing, they finally understood why she had stopped.
A thick plant root lay on the ground, and a huge, flesh-red flower hung from the withered tree.
The petals were thick and hard, covered with barbs, and the center of the stamen was a round hole, also covered with barbs.
"Is this a man-eating flower?" Tu Hao's tone rose, showing that he was also very surprised.
Miao Yin stepped forward, grabbed the stem, and pulled the flower down.
The flower's thorns were stained with black blood, and the petals were completely dried out.
This wasn't the first time Miao Yin had seen this flower; clearly, its owner had abandoned it.
She sighed.
What are you doing here?
The most powerful summoner in the past ten years since the apocalypse.
Gong Jingming.
