Chapter 157: Black Technology to Evade Detection
It is still a desert area with sparse wildlife. It may be that there are very few plants, and the bottom of the food chain cannot provide enough food, which has led to the fact that the wildlife in the entire area has not been gigantic and mutated, and the mutation direction is mostly agile or poisonous, and there is a strange animal that camouflages and defends.
This is a rabbit-like animal that Shen Wei found when hunting, the size of a medium-sized rabbit, wrapped in a thick layer of sand, and this sand has been integrated with its body, even if you look closely, it only looks like a small pile of sand, if you don't move, you won't find it an animal at all.
It moves fast, especially on soft sand, as its large and thick feet are proportionally perfect for running in the desert. Shen Wei almost used the strength of milk to catch the little thing, and in order to prevent it from escaping again, he broke two of its hind legs.
Zhang Le's nose is very smart now, and as soon as Shen Wei came back with his prey, he smelled a strange fragrance. It was the smell of a high-level dominant mutant species, the kind with active substances in it, but this smell was very light, no wonder Shen Wei didn't notice it.
"Anything else? This...... Sand rabbit, Brother Shen, catch a few more! "I haven't eaten such high-grade ingredients for a long time, and Zhang Le is a little greedy. Seeing Zhang Le's eager expression, Shen Wei became curious, he leaned closer to his head to smell it, and then got a little blood from the broken leg and put it in his mouth to taste it, and then his face changed greatly. This kind of smell Shen Wei is naturally very familiar with, although the smell is very hidden, but the taste is even stronger.
"I don't know, I can't find it anyway, if it doesn't happen to kick it, I can't find this one." Shen Wei said regretfully.
Zhang Le has no choice, he can only perceive nearby insects and reptiles, and he is now trying to avoid using the information hormone network deeply, because every experience of turning into a bug is not very pleasant. Relatively speaking, he prefers to be in the state of a tree man. At most, he now maintains a network of information hormones with minimal energy expenditure, so that he can passively perceive nearby arthropods above the group leader level, as well as reptiles of similar level. Obviously, there are no creatures of similar rank nearby.
Gianna, who was about to go to the beach to hunt, saw this and also walked over. After she asked about the situation, she pressed her index finger on her temple again and began to work.
She scanned the sand rabbit at one time and the four circles at the other. Hearing the news, Sandy stretched out three long tentacles, ready to cooperate with Gianna in the hunt.
Thirty meters away, a cloud of sand began to slowly move in this direction, the second time Gianna had demonstrated her ability to control creatures. Sandy reacted quickly, immediately wrapped the tentacles around it, and after tying up the five flowers, he brought the ball of sand over, and it was indeed a sand rabbit. Immediately after that, there was another one. In less than ten minutes, six were caught.
"It's okay, just eat some flavor, don't kill it!" Zhang Le said.
"You have to take care of it, I'm the captain now, and besides, there's a big one over there!" Gianna has the support of everyone, and she is getting used to not listening to Zhang Le's instructions. Power is addictive, and sometimes it's enjoyable even if it's opposition for the sake of opposition.
Zhang Le still wanted to speak, but Sandy immediately stretched out a thick tentacle and stopped at a distance of 0.01 meters in front of Zhang Le's head.
Zhang Le hurriedly raised his hand to surrender, in terms of hand-to-hand combat, the tentacle monster Sandy is the real boss.
Another clump of sand moved, but it seemed a little weird, one moving unusually slowly, and the other not in the right shape.
Before Sandy could stretch out her tentacles, Gianna couldn't hold on at first, she squatted on the ground with her head in her hands, and said, "It's not a sand rabbit, although it's a bit like, but it should be human, oops, my head hurts." ”
"Humans will know if they have seen it." Sandy is not human, and capturing humans is no different from capturing animals to him.
Still tied up, a humanoid creature was carried over and thrown to the ground on all fours. Medium-sized, slightly thin, it was indeed a human, but the man's skin was the same as that of a sand rabbit, covered with at least five centimeters of sand, and several people could not even tell whether it was male or female.
But it was still women who understood women, and Gianna pointed to the beach man covering below and said, "It must be a man!" Women don't do that. With that, he turned and left.
Sure enough, after Gianna left, the beach man immediately let go of his hand, as if he had been released.
"This person is sick, why is the big man covering the bottom, by the way, don't women cover the bottom?" Sandy asked, curious.
Zhang Le looked at Gianna who was far away, and whispered uncertainly: "I heard that women will cover their faces!" Sandy suddenly realized.
The sandman only leaves a few holes in the face, which are the mouth, nose, and eyes, and the rest of the place is full of sand.
"Friend Chongguo, I'm a fine Baki Xitan person!" The sandman lay on the ground and uttered a strange Chinese phrase.
"Brother Sandy, my own people, untie him first!" Shen Wei hurriedly spoke. Sandy unties the sandman.
"Friend Chongguo, I'm a fine Baki Xitan person!" The sandman didn't seem to know anything else Chinese, so he stood up and repeated what he had just said.
Zhang Le was also anxious and asked in English, "Okay, I know." Can you speak English, brother, where did you learn Chinese? ”
Seeing that Zhang Le could speak English, the sandman immediately became active and began to introduce himself. It turned out that he was a local resident named Zeid, who worked as a truck driver in the port of Gwadar before the nuclear war, and there were many Chinese companies there, so he learned a few words of Chinese.
Later, when a nuclear war broke out, Pakistan and its southern neighbors were all nuclear-weapon states and had poor relations. In any case, the important population areas and industrial bases of both countries have been hit hard. In this way, Zaid lost all his friends and acquaintances and lived alone in the desert.
He feeds on insects and small reptiles. Then one day, after eating this sand rabbit, not only did his body become extremely flexible, but he also had the ability to absorb sand on his body. This greatly strengthened his ability to survive, and since then, he has been living in the neighborhood ever since, and has always aimed to catch the sand rabbit again. It's a pity that he can't catch this kind of fast-moving sand rabbit again, except for the first time he took the shit luck.
It was already dark, and amid the protests of the ladies, Shen Wei hurried to prepare today's dinner.
Zhang Le is very interested in Zeid's abilities. Today, in order to avoid the possible detection of the lizardmen, Zhang Le has lost his position as captain, but he is not without experience. The best way to block detection is to physically isolate it, such as hiding in the water, hiding in the clouds, or like Zayed, hiding behind sand.
If you can learn this skill yourself, then you will have the black technology to evade detection. In any way, Zhang Le has regarded this group of high-tech lizardmen as his biggest opponent.
