The zombies were still wandering around the edge of the square, roaring a few times towards the top floor from time to time, but no zombies stepped into the square again.

Ouyang Zhi and several people watched the whole process of the tentacles devouring the zombies through film and television images. Zooming in on the image shows the tentacle devouring action clearly. There are a total of 84 tentacles, each of which is about 1 meter wide and about 2 meters in diameter when the tentacle mouth is opened. The length from the mall to the plaza is 100 meters, plus the 10 meters of the tentacles extended, and the tentacles are tentacles estimated to be at least 120 meters long.

Is it a snake? No, I haven't heard of snakes having fiery red colors, and they don't have scales on their tentacles. Everyone was terrified. What is it? It should live underground. That pothole in the mall must be where the tentacles stick out.

"It's too close to the base. We have to figure out what kind of monster it is, whether it only eats zombies or everything. Ouyang Zhi gestured to Lang Lang, "Let the robot go down and take a look." ”

"Okay." Lang Lang began to adjust the robot's course. The robot walked down from where he had just gotten up, and the image he saw along the way was the same as before. Soon came to the edge of the pothole. The traces of the tentacles dragging are still obvious. The robot slowly followed the trail towards the hole.

"Turn the sound to the maximum." Ouyang stopped his life.

Lang Lang turned on the sound switch, except for the sound of electricity, there was no sound in the hole.

"Let the cyborg go down."

Lang Lang set the robot into a rock climbing and falling mode. I saw that the robot stretched out two hook-like probe arms, hooked the mouth of the hole, and slid down step by step. The cave is pitch black, and the robot turns on a small searchlight, but the hole is bottomless. When the recorder shows 40 meters, the robot falls to the bottom of the hole. It was no longer a concrete floor, it was full of mud, and the mud surface was red, which should have been formed by a large amount of blood soaking. The bottom of the cave extends in all directions, and there is a road extending in all four directions.

After carefully observing the four passages, Ouyang Zhi and the others found that there were actually a lot of messy paw prints on the walls. On the ground were traces of large objects wriggling, like mollusks crawling. If it's an animal like an earthworm, what about tentacles and paw prints? Or are there several different animals living at the bottom of the cave? But none of this makes sense.

Choosing the passage to the east, the robot moved slowly. The muddy road made the robot stagger and stagger, and the images transmitted back were constantly shaking. Robots move very slowly, and often get stuck in mud puddles and can't get out.

"What are you thinking?" Guan Jie saw Qin Qin absentmindedly looking at the picture and asked.

"It's like there's an animal that lives underground, with tentacles. But for a while, I can't remember what it is? Perhaps because of his profession, Qin Qin likes to pay attention to some uncommon animals and plants. He vaguely remembered that he had heard of an animal that lived underground and usually sensed its prey by its tentacles.

"There are a lot of animals living underground, like rats, earthworms, etc., but I haven't heard of them that still have tentacles." Ouyang Fu grumbled, "Could it be a variant of rats and earthworms?" "I have to say that Ouyang Fu is too whimsical.

"You have a bit of common sense, okay? I really doubt your IQ. "Lang Lang really can't stand Ouyang Fu's retarded mind.

"How could it be?! Would we have believed in the end times before? Now that evolution and mutation have appeared, why can't mice and earthworms be hybridized? "Ouyang Fu is more true than this.

"How do different species interbreed?" Or Qin Qin was more professional, "Wait, what did you say?" Mouse, rat ......" Qin Qin frowned, he vaguely knew what it was.

"Star-nosed mole." Qin Qin said with certainty.

"What's that?" Seeing that Qin Qin had eyebrows, Ouyang Zhi was also anxious.

"I saw it in the northeastern part of country M, and it was a small mole, very small, smaller than a house mouse. It lives mainly in humid environments and feeds on small invertebrates, aquatic insects, earthworms and molluscs. The starnose mole is the world's fastest-moving mammal predator by digging tunnels in the ground to feed. It gets its name because it has 21 tentacles on the tip of its nose that surround it, like the rays of a star. Through these tentacles, the starnose mole is able to find its prey in complete darkness. The star-nosed mole is a small social animal and has a strong spirit of solidarity. Their tentacles are very brightly colored, just like flowers. But I have not heard of the discovery of this species in our country. ”

Qin Qin explained while trying to search for information about the star-nosed mole on his handheld computer. Before the end of the day, he stored a lot of information in it, such a strange animal, he should have relevant information. Sure enough, a picture appeared on the screen.

The crowd gathered around and watched. The tentacles are right, and the shape of the claws is also consistent with the paw prints. That's the size...... You know, they estimated the length of the tentacles to be at least 120 meters. And looking at the drag marks on the ground, the volume of this thing is not small, the diameter of the 4 channels is about 5 meters, which can be said to cover all directions of the entire XGLL city.

"84 tentacles, then there should be 4 of them." Ouyang Zhi speculated.

"They're social animals." Qin Qin added.

If this underground is really the star-nosed mole in the picture, then it really subverts everyone's long-held concept. It seems that the impact of the viral rain on flora and fauna is much greater than they expected. An animal weighing less than 100 grams can grow into such a huge monster in a week after the end of the world, what else can it do except that the end has this ability? If someone tells them tomorrow that there is an alien invasion, they won't be surprised.

Knowing what it was, Ouyang Zhi asked the robot to find a mud pit to hide. He's going to have to think about what he's going to do next. It's only a few days away from the base, and with this size and the ability to drill holes, it won't take long for these moles to get to the bottom of the base. Although they were only seen eating zombies, there was not a single survivor in the Nuoda shopping mall, and he didn't believe them when they didn't eat humans and kill them.

Even if they were fully prepared, they had not dealt with a mutant beast of this size so far, except for a few kittens and dogs. But, in any case, this danger must be addressed. He believes that everything has its own blind spots, and as long as you find the right one, it is not difficult to eliminate them.

Having made up his mind, Ouyang Zhi began to arrange.

"Guan Jie, you go to find a few relatively complete corpses, whether it is an animal or a zombie, at least the smell of blood must be strong enough to attract star-nosed moles to come up and hunt for food. But be careful not to leave too much breath around here, we have to be here to understand the situation thoroughly before we go. Qin Qin and Ouyang went to lure some zombies to the square. Lang Lang adjusted the real-time image of the robot, and as soon as the monster appeared, he immediately followed. ”

Chen Yan took out a few robots, handed them to Lang Lang, and said unhurriedly: "I have some whole cattle and sheep here, as well as a lot of plasma, so I don't need to go outside to find the corpse." Where can I still find flesh and blood corpses now, which have not been gnawed off sooner. Wasting food is not a good habit for them. ”

"Then go and lure zombies, at least more than 1,000 heads."

Everyone carefully walked out of the vault according to their respective tasks, and even Lang Lang went to the outside of the vault to adjust the machine, and took Liu Qing, who was huddled in the corner to minimize everyone's attention, by the way. There were only Ouyang Zhi and Chen Yan left in the vault.
