Zhang Qiru left Shang Ze to deal with the rest of the matter, and then left the scene with the chairman and came to a no-man's land in the first district. ※Pine$Cherry$Small※It is said that the information about the black beast is extremely important, and it may be about the mysterious plant, so it must be careful and confidential.

"What do you know? Tell the truth, otherwise, it won't be so easy for you to die! Zhang Qiru looked at the president and asked, his momentum was completely different from just now, and he was a little timid when he saw the president.

"Sir, I'll say it all!" The president said.

"Start from scratch and don't miss any details!" Zhao Yun interjected.

"Good! I've been here since the beginning of the last days! In the beginning, it was a small place, very desolate, but slowly, all kinds of plants began to grow, at first just weeds, then small saplings, and then into large forests, and the trees were very tall. The president said.

"When did the Black Beast appear?" Zhang Qiru asked.

"About half a year ago, I met the Black Beast for the first time. However, at that time, the black beast was not so big, it was about the size of a sheep. But later, the black beast continued to grow in size, and finally became more than two meters tall and four meters long. The president said.

"Did the black beast grow in size slowly, or did it suddenly get bigger?" Zhang Qiru asked.

"The black beast grew up slowly, and it took about four or five months to become so big!" The president said.

"Have you seen that big black beast before?" Zhang Qiru asked.

"I've seen it once! I've only seen it once! The president said.

"Huh? When? Zhang Qiru asked.

"Two weeks ago!" The president said.

"Tell me about it!" Zhang Qiru said.

"Two weeks ago, I went outside to find my subordinates to do something, but unfortunately I was attacked by the black beast, and we all ran away in a panic, and I don't know where I ran, and I was separated from the army. I could only wander around the woods, and I happened to meet the huge black beast! The president said.

"Has that black beast never been seen before?" Zhang Qiru said.

"Of course not! That black beast had only mutated two weeks ago! The president said.

"Mutated two weeks ago? When did you first see it? Zhang Qiru said.

"Yes! I've seen it mutate with my own eyes, but I've never told anyone about it! The president said.

"Can you describe the mutation process of that black beast?" Zhang Qiru said.

"The black beast first ate something, and then began to eat like crazy, and its body continued to grow, and the other black beasts continued to send it food, guarding the surroundings, and finally the black beast became what it is now!" The president said.

"Did you see what it was eating?" Zhang Qiru said.

"I don't know what it is, but it moves, albeit not fast." The president said.

"Will it move?" Zhang Qiru wondered, could it be that the plants would still move? No, it's not a man-eating flower!

"Are you sure that thing moves?" Bai Chunyu asked again.

"I'm sure that thing moves! I didn't know very well, but I could confirm that it was an animal, but I had never heard of it before! The president said.

"No, our people brought back a plant, right?" Wu Gang frowned and said.

"Not a plant, to be exact, but a leaf!" Bai Chunyu said.

"Uh...... Does it make any difference? Wu Gang asked.

"A very simple example, Cordyceps! Do you know what I'm trying to say? Bai Chunyu said.

"Do you mean symbiosis or parasitism?" Wu Gang also has some knowledge.

"Not only that, but it is also possible that it is a new biological kingdom, the animal-plant kingdom!" Bai Chunyu said.

"You mean the kind that is both an animal and a plant?" Wu Gang said.

"Yes! I contacted the institute and they found some of the animal-specific DNA sequences in the plant DNA, so there is such a hypothesis! Bai Chunyu said.

"Ah, you know these things?" The chairman heard the conversation of Zhang Qiru and others and exclaimed.

"Does anyone else know about this besides you?" Zhang Qiru didn't answer him, but continued to ask.

"No, no! I also think that the mutation of the black beast should be related to the kind of thing it eats, so that kind of thing is likely to hide the secret of biological evolution and mutation, I don't dare to talk nonsense, in case it is known by others, I may not be able to hold back! The president said.

"You're smart!" Zhang Qiru said.

"Chief, I'm just an ambitious low-level civilian, and I can't help it, it's all about survival!" The president said.

"Hehe, stepping on other people's corpses to survive, you take it for granted!" Zhang Qiru said.

"Chief, this world is ......," the president said.

"Okay, okay, there's no time to talk nonsense with you! Tell me what that thing looks like! Zhang Qiru said.

"That thing is round like a ball, with four legs, very short, and doesn't run fast, and it should be able to dig holes and dig up the earth." The president said.

"What color?" Zhang Qiru asked.

"It's gray and earthy, and there may be a plant growing on it, I used to think it was just brought out of the dirt, but I heard the commanders talk just now, I think it may be on the back!" The president said.

"What do plants look like?" Zhang Qiru said.

"Big blades, the heart-shaped ones! There's also a flower on it! The president said.

"Damn, it's not the same as our record!" Wu Gang said.

"Stupid, it's not what the plant looks like, it's the guy's body! I think it's likely that the guy has a lot of plant forms, or can imitate the appearance of various plants growing to disguise himself! Bai Chunyu said.

"I think it's possible, too!" Zhang Qiru pondered for a while and said.

"Where did you meet that black beast?" Bai Chunyu asked.

"Just to the south, about twenty miles across the river!" The president said.

"It's not too far, hasn't that black beast come to harass you?" Zhang Qiru asked.

"Black beasts are very territorial, and their territory is at the edge of the forest, so they basically haven't come to harass us. And most of the time, black beasts are farther south, where the forests are denser, more numerous, and more species, making them ideal for carnivores! Some capable people have gathered there, too! The president said.

"Oh? Where else do people live? Zhang Qiru was surprised.

"Yes, a lot! Although the south is more dangerous, there are enough small animals and plants of all kinds, and there are abundant food sources, as long as you have enough ability to live there very chic! Besides, many people live in tall trees or caves, which are still very safe, and only when they go out hunting, they are a little dangerous! The president said.

"Are there any gathering places there?" Zhang Qiru asked.

"No, it's basically a small group, twenty or thirty people, plus about 100 women and children." The president said.

"Are there many zombies?" Zhang Qiru said.

"It's still rare if it's not close to big cities or towns, but there are often some zombies that come out to hunt, and they are all high-level zombies. But those zombies are basically fighting with large evolved animals, and rarely take the initiative to find humans! The president said.

Zhang Qiru listened to the president's words, pondered in his heart, and had a new plan.
