After a night of running around, nothing was found, the sky was already dark when the rescue team returned to the camp and disbanded directly, Wang Chen looked at the reinforced concrete wall up to five meters high not far away, and looked at the armed civilians in the garrison who were still patrolling back and forth on the gray and white wall, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, no way, not only Wang Chen was nervous, but the rest of the resident personnel involved in the rescue operation were even more nervous, after watching the video transmitted by the drone, no one wanted to suddenly drill a group of snakes in the woods on both sides during the drive, even if the strange snake could not have any impact on the vehicle, But the fangs are hard to guarantee that they will not pierce the fragile iron sheets of civilian vehicles, and even get into patrol cars and kill! So the way back was anything but uneventful, and more than once in the pre-dawn darkness the heavy had smashed the suddenly shaking trees, tattered advertising cloth, or anything else on the side of the road into a sieve, even if it turned out to be a false alarm, there was no way to calm them down.

Fortunately, the rescue team finally returned to the station safely, but a little ammunition was wasted.

Entering the station and disbanding the rescue team according to the regulations, Wang Chen still couldn't rest with huge black circles under his eyes and bloodshot eyes, he hurried to the station headquarters with the bat corpse and drone video to meet Fang Qiang and Ren Wanrong to participate in a temporary video conference held by MSS high-level.

The encounter in the early morning was certainly thrilling, in fact, the time for the special combat team to fire with the snakes and bats was not long, it was less than five minutes to be full, and the video of the drone's preliminary reconnaissance was only seven or eight minutes, and it did not take up too long of the video conference. ”

Wang Chen is also confused about this, and it is impossible to speculate, he is not an animal expert, in fact, if you change a doctor of biology and put it here, I am afraid you can't say one, two, three, bats eat snakes? Obviously beyond common sense, okay! It's just that the boss opened his mouth to ask, Wang Chen couldn't be silent, and hesitated: "I don't know much about snakes or bats, these two species I saw at the scene are more oppressive than those shown in the video, I think, there is no doubt that these two species are mutated organisms, maybe they are the species born between new species?" Other than that, I can't think of a very good explanation. ”

"Is there any possibility of manipulation?"

"Judging from the situation at the scene, there is not much ability, and no trace of a living person has been found."

After listening to Wang Chen's answer, Director Chen turned to the animal experts attending the meeting and asked briefly, "Professor Jiang, what do you think?" ”

Professor Jiang is an elderly woman with a thin appearance and wrinkled face, who looks unremarkable, raised her hand to hold her black-rimmed glasses, and affirmed: "Whether it is a group of snakes or a group of bats, their behavior is undisciplined, but judging from the video, it is obviously in a controllable group mode, in short, it is a purposeful activity, generally speaking, this situation occurs when animals migrate, but now this season is not a migration season, and snakes and bats are not a migratory species, so my tendency is that someone manipulated these creatures." As for why they kill each other, I can't explain. ”

"Professor Jiang, in your experience, if someone can manipulate snakes and bats, what method did he use?"

"Voice-activated possibilities."

"Voice-activated ......" Director Chen groaned slightly, and said directly: "All the wartime materials collected by the station, video and audio biological samples, hurry up and transmit them to me." ”

There is no need to refuse this kind of request from the big leader, Fang Qiang nodded and agreed, and did not forget to add, "What do we need to do next?" Please ask the leader for instructions. ”

Director Chen's face, which was not characteristic, also did not show any special expression, and shook his head and said, "There is no need for the time being, since the mutant creatures appear on your side, you should pay more attention to safety, and you can mention any needs at any time." ”

said something less important again, the video conference ended, Fang Qiang hadn't spoken, Ren Wanrong, who had been in charge of the garrison defense, frowned and said, "Why did we encounter some mutated creatures first?" ”

"It's not that we met first, the incident of the cylinder rat attacking people at the beginning was just that we summarized a rule, and there were not several incidents before Boss Tian died. Also, some time ago, the superiors didn't say anything about the spread of zombie fungal spores, and they also came from the north, so it has nothing to do with us. Fang Qiang casually comforted his old partner, and then turned his head to Wang Chen and said: "The rescue operation has worked hard for you, go back and rest early, I am thinking, these mutant creatures may still make trouble." ”

"I don't think it's over yet, it's ...... here."

Without waiting for Wang Chen to finish speaking, Ren Wanrong waved his hand and smiled: "Don't worry about this, I'll arrange for the patrolling civilians to change their outfits later, shotgun lead bullet and flamethrower, there are really bats coming to find trouble, and the loss will definitely be minimized." ”

Nodding, Fang Qiang added: "I will arrange for people to publicize the information of these two new species to civilians to avoid causing panic." ”

Jiang is still old and spicy, these two do things without leakage, Wang Chen naturally has nothing to add, he didn't think much about it, and his sleepy brain doesn't have much energy to think about it, so it is the right way to go back to the dormitory to rest with peace of mind.

As soon as Wang Chen left, Dai Jian, who had been in charge of technical maintenance, had already raised his head from behind the computer screen, and said in a dumb voice with a chicken nest head: "That professor is talking nonsense. ”

Well, it is impossible to expect a technical nerd to speak around the corner and converge, Fang and Ren have long been accustomed to Dai Jian's way of speaking, Fang Qiang asked directly; "How?"

"I analysed the audio and found a messy bat ultrasound signal, but nothing else, it couldn't have been the sound manipulating the bat and the snake."

"......" Fang Qiang was noncommittal, not that he was indifferent to the emergence of new species, but whether these snakes or bats, could they still resist the guns in the hands of the living? As long as you understand their habits and be more vigilant, the zombies in the wild are rotten, how can more mutated creatures be? Turning the sky upside down? Boiling snake soup is almost the same, and I'm afraid it will eventually become a delicacy in the stomach of human beings.

Coincidentally, Director Chen's thoughts are similar to Fang Qiang's, except that he looks at the problem of mutated organisms from a higher perspective, although these creatures are caused by the genetically modified function of zombie pathogens, but no matter how mutated, they are all carbon-based organisms, and it is impossible to turn them out, so Director Chen is just routine, classifying the new information of the station that belongs to the direct jurisdiction of the intelligence port into the internal reference for the personnel with authority to consult, and he doesn't even bother to do audio analysis. As for satisfying his curiosity to see how many mutated creatures have been reported in various places after the temperature rises, Director Chen, who is busy with affairs, naturally disdains to do it.

If the only person who is interested in mutant creatures after the meeting is Professor Jiang with black-rimmed glasses, the reason for her interest is also very simple, there is really nothing to do, so she made a rough statistics, and counted the number of reports of mutant creatures found in various places, species and other information on a map, as for what this map can be used for, even Professor Jiang himself does not know, she just posted the map on the internal reference network, which can be regarded as an explanation of her work......
