Chapter 179: "Confrontation"

When the skeleton dissected the alienated orbs of the three "hairy monsters", Ye Mu glanced at the house where they were hiding, but found that in the corner of the wall, there was actually a strangely shaped peach tree!

This peach tree did not grow like the previous poplars, which were frantically taller and bigger after the rain, and it was only three or four meters tall by sight, but the branches were much thicker than normal peach trees. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And the reason why Ye Mu is interested in this peach tree is because on those green treetops that are high above the courtyard wall, there are some bright "giant peaches" hanging at this time!

This was the first time he had seen the mutated fruit since he went out this time, so driven by curiosity, he stepped into the collapsed courtyard.

After entering the courtyard, Ye Mu did not rush to check the peach tree, but cautiously glanced at the half-collapsed bungalow. Since the house was mostly cracked and the doors and windows were badly damaged, there was no need to go inside to see the whole thing.

The house looked as if it had been immersed in a river of time for years, with decaying furniture, beams leaning against the walls, and knee-high weeds on the floor.

Perhaps because of the long-haired monsters, a patch of weeds near the corner of the wall has been crushed into a green "grass carpet", and on this grass carpet, a large number of dry bones are piled up.

Ye Mu looked intently and found that these dry bones were of a variety of types, including not only many skulls such as dogs and rats, but also a few smooth human skulls rolling down the grass. Based on this, it is inferred that these hairy-haired monsters should have a mixed food source and feed on hunting "small" creatures.

Of course, this "small" does not refer to the pre-apocalyptic standard, but to the body shape after the genetic mutation.

"I wonder if these human skulls belong to survivors or zombies?" Ye Mu thought curiously.

He vaguely felt that the answer to this question would be revealed soon......

After making sure that there was no "remnant" of the hairy monster hiding in the house, Ye Mu walked to the peach tree in the corner with confidence.

After entering, he found that although this peach tree did not tend to be huge like the fast-growing poplar, it was intertwined with knots and branches like a thousand-year-old tree, and if he was not convinced that it could not exist in the homes of ordinary farmers for more than a thousand years, he might have been really confused by the shape of this peach tree.

Originally, when the leaf curtain was watched outside the wall, I thought that these peaches were huge and the nutrients were not available for a while, which caused the hanging fruits to be relatively sparse, but when I got closer, I found that there were still many leftover peach pits scattered around the peach tree.

And judging by the bite marks on the core, these peaches should have been eaten by those hairy monsters!

"Could it be that these hairy monsters have changed from simple carnivores to omnivores after their ancestors?" Ye Mu thought suspiciously.

For this question, in fact, the answer is in front of him, but he can't accept it for a while, because if there are omnivorous variants in the zombie population, their survivability will be greatly enhanced, which is not good news for the surviving humans......

But it has come to this point, and it is useless to think too much, so you can only take one step at a time.

Subsequently, Ye Mu plucked a peach from the tree and handed it to the system for identification, only to figure out that it was just a mutated wild peach. It's just that after the genetic mutation, the hairy peach, which was originally only the size of a walnut, has grown to the size of a head, and the delicate appearance is very attractive.

In addition to sighing, Ye Mu suddenly thought, since these peaches can become so huge, will crops such as corn and wheat also be like these peaches, and the "yield" will suddenly double?

If that were the case, it would be tantamount to an extra glimmer of life for the surviving humans, at least the food crisis would not be so urgent.

Of course, these surviving humans, certainly not including the leaf curtain!

For these peaches, he never dared to eat them, because the system had already prompted that the radiation content of these peaches was more than 20 times higher than the normal value, and he did not dare to taste any crops until he found an effective drug to treat radiation, let alone these peaches.

In these rainy days, fortunately, there is a lot of flour and meat in the base, otherwise Ye Mu's physical condition should be even worse.

After looting all the peaches on the tree, he turned around and left the house, although he couldn't eat these peaches, but for Anqi and the others, who were super resistant, they should be rare and delicious.

On the next journey, Ye Mu encountered two more sneak attacks from hairy monsters. On one occasion, the number of hairy-haired monsters reached seven, but their level was generally not high, and only one second-order hair-haired monster leaf curtain was seen.

This level of sneak attack is almost no threat to Ye Mu at this time, especially after the quality of the horizontal knife is improved, against these low-level flesh and blood creatures, they are basically killed by the knife, and they don't feel the slightest pressure.

But for some reason, walking in this village, Ye Mu always felt some inexplicable palpitations, and it was not until he walked out of the village and stepped on the provincial road into the city that this oppressive atmosphere gradually subsided.

The changes on the provincial road are not very large, and they are still crowded with abandoned vehicles, but in the cracks of the asphalt road, many tenacious weeds have been drilled.

When he arrived here, Ye Mu finally saw the figure of a "normal" zombie.

These zombies are still the same as before, all scattered in the traffic, but they are much less in number than before, and through a rough judgment of coercion, the high-level zombies on the provincial roads are currently very densely distributed!

Not counting those first-order mutants, there are seven or eight second-order zombies alone, and there are many third-order zombies among them!

You know, that's just what he can perceive!

For a moment, Ye Mu was in a dilemma, because he didn't know whether to continue on this provincial road or turn back to the village to drill those alleys.

After weighing it several times, Ye Mu still decided to enter the city along the provincial road!

If nothing else, just because there are so many high-level zombies on the provincial road, but there is not a single normal zombie in the adjacent village, this matter is worth scrutinizing!

Faced with the zombies gathered together on the provincial road, Ye Mu had to repeat his old tricks and once again played the trick of turning the tiger away from the mountain. Fortunately, at this time, he still has more than a thousand soul points on his body, which can be used to summon ordinary skeleton attraction monsters, which is not a big burden at all.

A moment later, when the skeleton knocked on the car in the middle of the road, Ye Mu took advantage of the chaos and quietly climbed up the building along the roadside, and then took the opportunity of the zombies to be diverted, and ran all the way towards the city.

Until there is an alley in front of the buildings along the street, or when the distance between the shops is too large, he sends a skeleton again to attract the attention of the zombies and take the opportunity to sneak up to the opposite side.

After going back and forth seven or eight times, when the number of skeletons was only five, Ye Mu finally saw the traffic turntable leading to the city.

However, as soon as he approached the vicinity of the turntable, Ye Mu heard one roar after another!

In the huge traffic carousel, there was originally a flower bed with dense weeds, but it has been ploughed down one by one, and two huge mutant pigs are confronting a group of zombies in the flower bed at this time......
