"Wu Mo, none of you are injured, right?" Zhang Zhixiong asked with concern.
"Thanks to you, my brothers are safe and sound, and when I kill this beast, the situation is dangerous." When Wu Mo said the word "beast", his eyes were looking at Ding Xiu.
"Ding Xiu, what about you? You said that you killed the mutant creature, do you have proof? Zhang Zhixiong asked Ding Xiu again.
"I broke its front paws and the four legs underneath it."
"Damn, you've seen the wounds on this mutant creature now, it's too late to say this." Wu Mo retorted.
"I blinded one of its eyes and burned its other eye with a firearm."
"Hmph, anyone can see these wounds, you said you left these wounds on it? Do you deserve it? Wu Mo's teammates argued for him.
"It had a wound in its head that I had pierced with a nuclear rifle, and I cut it open with a dagger, and I spent the night in its belly, its body helping me to avoid the dangers of the night in the desert." Ding Xiu said as he tore off the mucus solidified on his skin, "These are the body fluids in the stomach of mutant creatures...... Or blood, I don't know. ”
"You're lying, you can't kill this monster alone!" Listening to Ding Xiu's words, Wu Mo's face was a little hot, he didn't expect that the death of this mutant creature was really related to this kid. Seeing that Zhang Zhixiong's gaze at him changed a little, he couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Ding Xiu, this mutant creature was killed by our whole team, you usually don't even have to beat me, do you think anyone will believe what you say?" ”
Zhang Zhixiong was here, and the people around him who wanted to touch but didn't dare to touch the mutant creature mustered up the courage to turn over the corpse of this monster together, and sure enough, they saw that the abdomen under it was shriveled, and there was a big hole in the skin there.
When the incision is pulled apart, the sand on the inner wall of the abdominal cavity can be clearly seen.
"Wow!" There was another uproar in the crowd.
Clear-eyed people can see right and wrong at this moment, so everyone's eyes looking at Ding Xiu are not only surprised, but also have some admiration.
Ding Xiu lifted his trouser leg to reveal the scabbed wound on his ankle, and ripped off the clothes on his shoulder to show the wound on his shoulder together.
"If this still doesn't prove that I killed the monster, I can still produce proof." Ding Xiu said.
"Oh!?" Zhang Zhixiong was a little surprised, and the people around him were also curious. Only Wu Mo and the people of his squad had resentment in their eyes.
"I've eaten monster meat, it's raw, and it tastes good." Ding Xiu smacked his lips, as if he was reminiscing, he said the taste of monster meat, and pointed out the place where he had cut the meat to Zhang Zhixiong.
Zhang Zhixiong glanced at the position Ding Xiu was pointing at, he poked his finger directly into the meat next to him, and then pulled it hard.
A piece of mutant creature meat appeared in his hand, and Zhang Zhixiong's fingers actually played an effect that Ding Xiu could only achieve with a dagger.
Zhang Zhixiong stretched out the meat torn off with his empty hands to his mouth, and the sergeant next to him called out to him: "Head, you can't taste the meat of unknown creatures." ”
"What are you afraid of, hasn't Ding Xiu eaten it too?" Zhang Zhixiong didn't care, he put the meat in his mouth and chewed it, it was indeed the kind of taste that Ding Xiu just said.
Zhang Zhixiong's gaze swept to Wu Mo's face again, the squad leader who was still invincible to Ding Xiu just now had turned from red to white at this moment, and sweat was also breaking out on his forehead.
"Take the people of your squad and lead the army, and you will lead them twice."
"Yes, head." Wu Mo lowered his head and didn't dare to disobey Zhang Zhixiong's order, he and the people of the seventh team unloaded the corpses of mutated creatures at the door of the camp, and then drove back to the barracks.
"What to do with the corpses of mutant creatures?" The sergeant asked Zhang Zhixiong.
"Send it to Chen Jiansen, let him check it, if the meat is useless, divide it, and open the meat for everyone."
"Yes." The sergeant answered, and he beckoned the people around him to come and help.
"Take Ding Xiu to Dr. Chen's place as well." Zhang Zhixiong pointed at Ding Xiudao, "Check if his injuries are serious." ”
……
The hospital in the camp was a bungalow, and it was filled with the smell of potions.
The corpse of the mutant creature was sent here together with Ding Xiu, and the middle-aged man who was busy in the bungalow raised his head and glanced at the big guy on the ground, raised his eyebrows and said, "It's really rare." ”
"Ding Xiu killed it." Said the soldier who came in carrying the corpse of the mutant creature.
"Huh?" Only then did the middle-aged man notice that among the soldiers who came with him was a young man who looked rather sloppy.
"It's you, boy, it's terrible." The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, he had a little impression of Ding Xiu, remembering that this guy was an orphan adopted by a veteran named Zhang Rongshe in the border guards.
The middle-aged man is Chen Jiansen, the only doctor in the camp and the only genetic scientist here.
"The head said that you should check this mutant creature, and then take a look at Ding Xiu's injuries."
"I see." Chen Jiansen nodded.
"You help me carry its body to the platform over there." He gestured to the soldiers.
"Ding Xiu, let me see your wounds." After Chen Jiansen finished speaking, he pulled Ding Xiu to a hospital bed, and then turned on the light of the telescopic lamp on the wall.
"Shoulders, and ankles." Ding Xiu also cooperated to pull up the clothes on his trouser legs and shoulders.
"It smells pretty strong." Chen Jiansen wrinkled his nose and noticed the tattoo on Ding Xiu's chest again, so he took a second look.
"I hid in the monster's belly for a night before escaping." Ding Xiu smiled embarrassedly.
"Huh? Are you saying you didn't go back to camp last night? Chen Jiansen was stunned for a moment.
"Yes." Ding Xiu nodded.
"Your life is so big." Chen Jiansen said and took a bottle of potion and dropped a few drops into the wound on Ding Xiu's body.
The potion sizzled in the wound, and Ding Xiu felt some pain, but he just gritted his teeth and didn't say anything.
"Mutant creatures hurt?" Chen Jiansen asked.
"Clamped by the big claws on its chest." Ding Xiu pointed to his ankle, "Its claws are also pierced on the shoulder." ”
"You'll have to wait for the results to come out, so you lie down for a while." Chen Jiansen motioned for Ding Xiu to lie on the bed, and he came to the table where the corpse of the mutant creature was placed.
He put the gadget on his left ear and pressed the button on it.
The device is called a biometric identifier and contains information about most of the mutated creatures known to man.
"Mutant mole crickets, C-class mutant creatures, live in the desert, have a photophobic habit, and only haunt at night."
The sound coming from the device took Chen Jiansen by surprise.
"God, you really killed this? This is a C-class mutant creature! Chen Jiansen exclaimed.
"Uncle Chen, this guy is called a mutant mole cricket." Ding Xiu nodded, and said with some luck: "I didn't expect to kill it, but it was going to eat me at that time, so I had to fight hard." ”
"Haha, you kid did it, one person killed a C-class mutant creature, and we haven't seen a real mutant mole cricket." Chen Jiansen suddenly looked at the somewhat sloppy young man in front of him, "I have lived for more than 40 years, and this is the first time I have seen someone accomplish this feat. ”
"Hehe, is that an exaggeration?" Ding Xiu scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
The two waited for the results of the wound examination, and Chen Jiansen told Ding Xiu some knowledge related to mutant creatures.
The radiation left by the nuclear war and the explosion of genetic technology have caused the world to completely change its appearance, and most living things have mutated to a greater or lesser extent, and humans have divided them into F, E, D, C, B, A, S, S, S, and even the legendary SSS class according to the degree of their mutation. Among them, Steppenwolf is an F-class mutant creature, which is the lowest level according to the level of mutation.
Steppenwolf's claws are sharper than those of the mutant mole crickets, but the mutation level is much lower than that of the mutant mole crickets.
Because Steppenwolf is on the recipe for mutant mole crickets, and Steppenwolf doesn't have it on their recipe.
"Mutant mole crickets live in sandy soil, and they are photophobic, so they only come out at night. They sometimes come in groups at night, and as long as there are enough prey, they will rush over in more numbers. Chen Jiansen read the relevant information of the monster through the device worn on his ear, and retold the information to Ding Xiu, "The information says that mutant mole crickets are one of the dangerous creatures living in the wasteland, and their hunting skills are very high, and they will not fight their prey head-on at all. ”
"Usually these mutant mole crickets hide under the sand dunes in the wasteland, and they have two long tentacles on the top of their heads that act as antennas, specially designed to sense the slightest movement in the sand."
"As long as something passes by on the sand above their heads, the tentacles will send back a faint vibration in the sand, and then use the mutated mole crickets to determine whether it is a suitable target for their hunting."
"Is it possible...... It hit me because my car passed over the sand above it and attracted it? Ding Xiu was a little stunned.
"Quite possibly." Chen Jiansen nodded, affirming Ding Xiu's judgment, "And you are still targeted by it at night, it is really fateful to survive." ”
"No, Uncle Chen, I met it during the day, and the sun hadn't set yet."
"What?!" This time it was Chen Jiansen's turn to be surprised, and the stunned look on his face was exactly the same as Ding Xiu just now.
"Impossible, according to the data, it is absolutely impossible for the mutant mole crickets to come out and move before the sun goes down." Chen Jiansen shook his head, looking at Ding Xiu with a little more doubt in his eyes.
"It's true, Uncle Chen, I didn't lie to you." Ding Xiu said categorically.
"Okay." Chen Jiansen did not intend to continue dwelling on this issue, and he began to dissect the corpse of the mutant mole cricket with tools.
