Chapter 415: Suspicion
After understanding the situation around Ningqiu City, Chu Chen let the bone dragon sweep over the camp.
Jumping off the back of the bone dragon, Chu Chen flipped his wings and fell to the ground.
In Chu Chen's heart, he already had a general idea of his plans for the next few months.
It's just that now he is no longer willing to share the plan in his heart with others casually.
After dinner, Chang He and the others returned to the camp.
After waiting for Chang He and a few people, he ate dinner first, and then Chu Chen asked him to report on the situation in Ningqiu City.
Putting the dishes and chopsticks back, Chang He took out a pack of cigarettes and prepared to hand one to Chu Chen.
Chu Chen waved his hand to stop it, took out a bag of 'Zhonghua' himself, and after pulling one out, he threw the remaining half of the bag to Chang He.
There is a good cigarette to smoke, and Changhe is naturally happy to enjoy it.
To the four subordinates, after a few scatters, Chang He was about to return the cigarette to Chu Chen, but he saw Chu Chen waving his hand and signaling with his eyes, He Rong and the others.
Chang He nodded, stuffed all the small half packets of 'China' to Hu Quan, and asked him to give one to the team and other people who could smoke.
Then, Chang He lit the cigarette, took a puff, and said to Chu Chen: "Boss Chu, this Ningqiu City, the whole city is in ruins, not to mention the survivors and materials, even the mutant creatures, there is not a single one!" However, there are still some zombies. ”
"Zombies?"
Chu Chen hadn't seen zombies for a while, and when he heard Chang He mention it, he was suddenly a little surprised: "How can there be zombies?" Shouldn't they all freeze to death in the cold winter? ”
After a pause, Chu Chen guessed again: "Is there edema on the zombie's body?" Could it be that a survivor who drowned in the flood will become a zombie after death? ”
Shaking his head, Chang He denied Chu Chen's conjecture: "No, Boss Chu, among them, there are indeed many zombies, and their bodies are obviously edema, but there are also many zombies, which are the same as the previous zombies." ”
Both of them frowned, a little puzzled.
Zheng Feng, who was behind Chang He, suddenly spoke up at this time and said to the two: "Boss Chu, master, can I say a few words?" ”
Chu Chen saw Zheng Feng speak, smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you can talk about it." ”
Zheng Feng nodded, pointed to the north, and said, "When I was in the ruins, I carefully observed those zombies, among them, most of them were zombies transformed into zombies by the survivors who were drowned after the cold winter. ”
After a pause, Zheng Feng continued: "However, there are also a small number of zombies, and a lot of carrion has been washed away, I think that this part of the zombies is the zombies before the cold winter, they were frozen, but they did not die, and after the ice and snow melted, they were 'alive' again." ”
Nodding slowly, Chu Chen agreed with Zheng Feng's speculation: "Well, it's really possible." It seems that the next time the cold winter comes, we will have to send someone to smash all the zombies frozen into ice sculptures! ”
Looking at Chang He, Chu Chen asked him, "Is there anything else?" ”
Chang He hesitated for a moment and replied to Chu Chen, "Uh...... In the ruins, there are many big holes of about two meters, Boss Chu, I don't know, is this an anomaly? ”
"Big hole? More than two meters? ”
Chu Chen was stunned and asked, "Are there many such holes, do you know how deep they are?" ”
Chang He shook his head and replied: "According to preliminary estimates, there are at least dozens or hundreds of holes, the largest one has reached nearly five meters, and the smallest one is more than half a meter!" As for the depth, we didn't dare to go down to investigate, we can only say that the depth is bottomless. ”
It just so happened that Hu Quan, who had gone to scatter smoke, came back, and Chu Chen asked the five of them: "You have seen so many cave entrances, do you think of any creatures?" ”
Zhou Ran was the youngest, and after Chu Chen asked, he opened his mouth and asked, "Boss Chu, is it possible, is it a mutant mouse?" Particularly large, mutant mice? ”
Ding Han's personality was a little calm, and after thinking about it, he put forward a different opinion: "No, it can't be a mouse!" The walls of the cave were so smooth that most of them still stretched vertically downward, and I thought they looked a bit like earthworms! ”
"Earthworm!?"
Chang He exclaimed in a low voice, looked at Chu Chen, and asked Chu Chen tentatively: "Boss Chu, shouldn't it be an earthworm?" How can a tiny earthworm become so big? Earthworms with a diameter of two meters must be tens of meters long, right? ”
Seeing that Chu Chen didn't speak, Zheng Feng said to Chang He: "Master, I thought before that this should be some kind of mutant plant, but when Senior Brother Ding Han said earthworms, I immediately felt that the possibility of earthworms was much greater!" Think about it, most of those caves are extremely smooth and have a small amount of slime, isn't that what happens when earthworms burrow? ”
Chu Chen thought for a moment and said to Chang He: "What is this mutated creature, it's not sure for the time being, earthworms are more likely, even lizards can mutate into dragons, why can't earthworms become much bigger?" However, it is useless to say more, everyone has been cautious lately, and sooner or later, we will figure it out! ”
After a pause, Chu Chen ordered Chang He: "At night, you call the Lei Army, in addition, each select a few druids and divide them into three teams to keep vigil, remember to pay attention to the movement underground." ”
Chang He nodded and responded: "Okay, Boss Chu." ”
……
After nightfall, Chang He took Hu Quan and ten druids to keep vigil around the campfire.
As for the periphery of the camp, there were naturally Chu Chen's skeletons guarding them, and they only needed to patrol around the camp every half an hour.
Jiang Peng was also among the druids at the vigil, lighting a cigarette in his hand and taking a puff from time to time.
After listening to the chatter of several people around him for a long time, Jiang Peng seemed to have made a decision, and asked Chang He: "Brother Chang, I heard that this Ningqiu City seems to be in crisis?" ”
Chang He, who was talking and laughing with other people, changed his face slightly, and glanced at Hu Quan without a trace.
After seeing Hu Quan shaking his head slightly, Chang He smiled at Jiang Peng and said, "Haha, Jiang Peng, have you heard?" Listen to whom? In addition to us, are there other survivors in this Ningqiu City? ”
Jiang Peng smiled far-fetched and explained: "It's Yunxian, she was by the bonfire today, and overheard, I heard you chatting with Boss Chu, and it seemed that she was talking about a deep hole, earthworms, mutated plants or something, Brother He, what is the situation?" Tell us about it~! ”
Several druids on the side also became interested and persuaded Chang He a few words.
And Chang He pretended to lower his head to smoke, but when he lowered his head, his eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes became a little sharp.
Raising his head, Chang He, who returned to normal, said with a smile: "Haha, it's actually nothing, it's just that there are many big holes in Ningqiu City, and we are guessing wildly, what is the reason for that." ”
Jiang Peng's face showed a little worry, and he asked Chang He again: "Brother He, didn't Boss Chu say that he wants to take us to build a base?" This Ningqiu City has turned into a ruin, let's continue to stay here, what are we going to do? ”
After a pause, Jiang Peng continued to ask: "Everyone knows that in this Shangqiu Province, floods have occurred frequently in the past, and now the environment has changed so much, floods must come more frequently, even if we establish a base here, in the future, I am afraid it will not be easy to prevent these natural disasters!" ”
Staring at Jiang Peng, Chang He narrowed his eyes, seeing that Jiang Peng was a little frightened, before he spoke: "This time, I can tell you some information, but in the future, I don't want you to talk about Boss Chu's decision behind your back, if you have any opinions, you can mention it to Boss Chu in person, Boss Chu won't eat you!" ”
Jiang Peng shrank his head and whispered, "Hehe, Brother He, aren't we afraid to ask Boss Chu." ”
Frowning, Chang He reprimanded coldly: "Don't dare to ask, then don't ask!" When did Boss Chu hurt you? Whatever decision he makes, naturally there is a reason for him, how? Do you want him to explain it to you one by one? ”
Jiang Peng waved his hand again and again, and said: "No, no, I won't ask, Brother He, don't worry, I promise in the future that I will conscientiously carry out Boss Chu's orders and never ask more." ”
Nodding slightly, Chang He's face softened a lot: "Actually, it's okay to tell you, it's just that Boss Chu has time to talk to you about this?" ”
After a pause, Chang He began to say to everyone: "Shangyang Province, floods are frequent, and Boss Chu naturally knows it, but Boss Chu already has a way to deal with it, you give me my heart and put it in my stomach safely." ”
took out a cigarette again, lit one, and threw the cigarette to Hu Quan beside him.
After Hu Quan dispersed a few to the people around him, Chang He's side was already full of smoke.
