Chapter 25: The Rose
It wasn't until noon that Zhang Muqing woke up from his slumber, the pain in his back was slightly reduced, and his stomach was hungry; I had to get up, find a loose sweater to put on, wash up and go downstairs.
Xiu Hua and Shao Yang also just woke up and were sitting in the living room; Cha Ling'er also happened to come out of the kitchen with vegetables, and there was also a lean porridge, which should have been prepared for Zhang Muqing.
After putting the vegetables and porridge away, Charlinger stepped aside and said nothing.
"Thank you." Zhang Muqing sat down and nodded lightly to Zha Ling'er who was standing on the side and thanked him, Zha Linger smiled back, but it turned out that this lovely girl was mute.
Xiu Hua sat opposite Zhang Muqing, and seeing that Zhang Muqing's face had recovered, he could also eat, so he put his mind at ease for the time being, and also began to eat the meal prepared by Zha Ling'er.
He hadn't eaten a normal meal in a year, and he missed the taste.
Zhang Tuanzi and they were also resting, and they were going downstairs and going out with a few Mao Tuanzi, looking at Zhang Muqing who was eating, Zhang Tuanzi and Zhang Tuantuan waved their little paws and said something and went out.
Zhang Muqing raised his head suddenly, he could actually understand what Tuanzi and Tuan Tuan said?!
Could it be caused by the mutation on the back? Or did it absorb the anomalous rain and evolve instead?
Zhang Muqing said with a smile: "You two remember not to go out of this courtyard." ”
"Got it, Dad." Zhang Tuanzi and Zhang Tuantuan came out with a group of Mao Tuanzi.
Zhang Muqing smiled, listening to the voice of his father, he felt that it was worth going out this time.
"Uncle Xue, why are you and Ling'er left?" Zhang Muqing looked at the empty living room, a little unaccustomed.
"Yesterday afternoon, a police officer came to inform them, saying that there were strange beasts on this mountain, and asked everyone to move away, and a few people who worked here also followed when they heard that there were strange beasts, after all, we are the closest to Qingshan here, and it is also the most dangerous." Xue Ge followed Charing'er and put the bowl back in the kitchen.
"It's better to go." Zhang Muqing leaned back on the sofa, and the pain in his back slowly became bearable.
"Mu Qing, Professor Bowen from Huajiang University called home before, saying that he wanted you to go back and participate in a study on alien beasts." Xue Ge sat opposite Zhang Muqing.
"Ha, I'm only studying viruses and plants, why do you want me to study alien beasts?" Zhang Muqing smiled and didn't take this matter to heart.
"Xiuhua, do you know how many strange beasts there are in your laboratory?"
"About a hundred." Xiuhua was nibbling on an apple, he hadn't eaten these things for a long time, and he really didn't want to stop if he didn't eat it.
"They're all in the mountains?" Zhang Muqing was shocked, all the research was extremely expensive, who was so rich to study so many strange beasts!
"Most of them are not in this mountain anymore, and the beasts are not in harmony with each other, and even after encountering them, they will fight endlessly, so they should have fled to various places, but as far as I know, the reason why they did not invade human cities on a large scale is because they are adapting to the environment; After all, they've just come out of the sterile environment of the lab. ”
Ask him why he knows? Of course, because when he first came out, he was extremely unsuitable for the outside environment.
"A month has passed, and there has been such a rain that can promote evolution, but I am afraid that they have adapted to the external environment." Zhang Muqing took out his mobile phone and found that there was still a signal, so he called Cen Weiyi.
The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up.
"Mu Qing, you finally called me." Cen Weiyi's voice was very tired, as if something had happened.
"Did something happen to you?" Zhang Muqing frowned slightly.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that two strange bugs came into the house somehow, and they bit my dad, it seems to be infected, and the wound is very inflamed, and now I'm still in the hospital for infusion observation." Cen Weiyi stood at the staircase of the hospital, holding a cigarette in his hand, but did not light a fire.
"Uncle, how is he now?"
"Fortunately, the situation has stabilized. What about you? ”
"I'm fine here, nothing out of the ordinary."
"Well, that's good, lately, this city has been full of insects, rats, snakes and ants, and if you are not careful, you will be bitten, and the hospital is overcrowded."
"A lot of insects and ants in the city? I'm here... Nothing. ”
"Huh? How is that possible, aren't you at the foot of the green hills? There should be more insects and ants there. After a moment of silence, Cen Weiyi suddenly remembered that the green mountain seemed to be occupied by strange beasts. By the way, isn't Aoyama already announcing the evacuation? Are you still over there? ”
"Well, I was out before, and I just came back this morning."
"You went to the mountains? No wonder your phone doesn't work. Why are you still going to the mountains at this time, how dangerous it is! Cen Wei held his forehead and broke his heart for this friend of his.
"It's just a few things. Then you go take care of your uncle first, and then call me if there is anything. ”
After speaking, Zhang Muqing hung up the phone.
Zhang Mu counted the news, and there was news of being bitten by insects and ants and infected wounds.
"I'm afraid it's going to be messy, how many supplies do we have prepared?"
Xue Ge thought for a while, "It's quite a lot, the two basements are full, and a few of us can use it for a long time." ”
"Hmm." Zhang Muqing just wanted to speak, when he heard Shao Yang's mobile phone ringing.
Shao Yang clicked and answered, and heard an anxious female voice coming out, "Shao Yang, is your boss still in Qingshan now?" ”
"Something?" Shao Yang didn't answer directly, but turned on the speakerphone, so that Zhang Muqing could also hear her voice.
"Si Ping was bitten by a strange beast and became very violent, as if she was infected with some virus, and wanted to put her in the laboratory, so I took her and escaped secretly."
"We're still in Qingshan, come here." Zhang Muqing nodded to Shao Yang, indicating that it didn't matter.
"Okay, we're already on our way here, just me and Xu Zhi, it will take about half an hour to get there."
"Why is it just you and Xu Zhi?"
"Let's talk when we get there." The woman across from her hung up.
"It's Kou Qiong." Zhang Muqing guessed who it was when he heard the voice, although he hadn't met the other party either, but when he heard the voice, he knew who the other party was, after all, she was the one who got Shao Yang a gun.
"Yes." Shao Yang put away the phone.
"She said that the person named Si Ping became manic after being bitten by a strange beast, could it be that these strange beasts carry some kind of virus?" Zhang Muqing looked at Xiuhua on the side.
"Many of their test subjects are poisonous themselves, and after this evolution, those poisons should have produced mutations." Xiu Hua shook his head, he didn't know much about those strange beasts, not to mention that the current strange beasts were completely different from the ones in the laboratory before!
"Well, it's not necessarily useful to find me, but I'll have to give it a try." Zhang Muqing opened the door of the laboratory and walked in, preparing a relatively solid bed for the upcoming patient.
"I'm afraid they won't have anywhere to go." Xiu Hua scraped the glass of the coffee table with the nail of his index finger, and the harsh sound was really uncomfortable.
Zhang Tuanzi and Zhang Tuantuan took a group of Mao Tuanzi to find the vole family.
"Tuanzi, you're finally back." Father vole looked at Zhang Tuanzi and danced very happily, "I just have something to tell you." ”
"What's the matter?" Zhang Tuanzi casually bit a piece of grass and ate it.
"That circle of roses growing outside the wall will eat insects!" Father vole pointed to the rose that had climbed to the top of the wall, and in a short period of time, the rose that had just been planted for a month had grown to the height of the wall, and it had bloomed beautiful flowers, exuding a faint fragrance of flowers.
"It's good to be able to eat bugs." Zhang Tuantuan looked at the flower, isn't it very useful to be able to eat insects?
"But yesterday I saw this flower and caught a snake to eat! It's really caught, the rose will move, just roll the snake into a ball, receive it in the dirt, and then today I'll go and see, there's an extra snake skin there! ”
"That's good, I hate snakes the most." Zhang Tuanzi didn't think there was anything to be afraid of.
“... That's just a plant! But it moves! Will catch animals to eat! Do you know how scary it is? ”
"yes, aren't they plants? How can it still move? Zhang Tuanzi found something unusual in hindsight.
“... I don't know. "Father Vole was a little helpless.
"Then you should find a place to settle down first, and let's go ask Dad."
Zhang Tuanzi didn't care about the moles anymore, and ran back to his home directly.
