Chapter 298: Abnormal Beetle
All living beings have the natural tendency to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After a nuclear explosion, other organisms, regardless of their type, will stay away from the area as they avoid the effects of the radiation.
But there will be such an unusual existence, they will not only ignore the danger, but even actively move towards the place where the nuclear explosion will occur, which is a bit unusual.
How the flame beetle was formed has always been a mystery to this day, and even Xu Shenzhou, who has seen it a few times, has never understood how this beetle, which is completely different from other mutation methods, is affected by the mutation after it occurs.
Now, in the midst of the migration of the animals, the group of flame beetles is swimming against the current, which is very unusual and very eye-catching.
The sky was gloomy and dark, and the fire beetles glowed with a faint red light, and when their group moved against the biota in the direction of Sanshui, the other creatures would deliberately avoid this creature.
It can be seen that the temperature on the flame beetle's body seems to be very feared by those other creatures, and the places they pass through basically belong to a kind of vacuum zone.
And even so, where the flame beetles pass by, the vicinity of them will be charred black, as if they have been burned by flames, but all the plants they touch will instantly wither, appear dehydrated and die.
The beetles are like killers and machines of the biological world, and wherever they pass, life begins to zero, and those creatures have to avoid them.
Because of the distance, when Xu Shenzhou used the telescope to see the movement of the flame beetles, he didn't have to worry about those beetles passing through the area where the refuge camp was located.
This time, among the second wave of migrating biological groups, Xu Shenzhou observed that a considerable number of mutated organisms came from the wild.
Just like the mutant gray wolf, the mutant bear and other biological groups, they are very vigilant, they will not enter the range of the city, they all pass near the suburbs, so as to prey on some zombie prey, without any stop.
And the mutated creatures that shuttle through the city have become a little varied, and through this nuclear explosion, they have all appeared.
Xu Shenzhou saw the mutated ants, it was a kind of black ant, its size was as big as a bucket, they were moving in groups, so the black torrent was also a spectacular sight.
There are also mutant cockroaches.
Last time, Xu Shenzhou was in the Yikang County Industrial Park at the earliest, and he saw a wave of corpses, and he was being chased out of the city by a group of mutant cockroaches from the provincial capital, and he didn't know where to go.
Later, he saw a mutant cockroach in the vicinity of the botanical garden, but it was not found anywhere else.
From this, it can be inferred that those mutant cockroaches also belong to the group concentrated in one activity, and the distribution area is also relatively concentrated in one piece, not all cockroaches in the whole city have mutated and evolved, otherwise, the city would have become a city of cockroaches, where is there still room for human survivors.
In addition, Xu Shenzhou observed in detail those biological groups, and it was rare to see mutated mice.
To say that in this city, there should be more rats in the sewers, but what is unexpected is that he has not seen any traces of mutant rats in the city, even if it is the wave of biological migration caused by this nuclear explosion, there is no trace of mutant rats.
But in the wild, Xu Shenzhou went all the way from Sanshui to this provincial capital, and there were many types of mutant rats he saw. 、
Even the boy Shen Yuefeng was bitten by a mutated virus rat, so his body was also infected with toxins, and he was mutated and alienated, developing in the direction of monsters, fortunately, Xu Shenzhou used the kind of soil methods such as taking bear dried organs that he learned from others, which can be regarded as getting the boy out of his tragic fate.
If he didn't see a mutant mouse on the ground, Xu Shenzhou would feel very strange.
However, there is an even stranger point, that is, Xu Shenzhou found that some of the mutated biota that passed by the edge of the city would deliberately avoid some special plants.
The plants on the roadside seem ordinary and nothing special, but many groups of creatures deliberately avoid them, which is strange.
Xu Shenzhou's understanding of mutated plants is limited to those crazy plants near Du Yuan, as well as some very aggressive plants, and their roots are abnormally developed, and if there is no obstruction, they will extend infinitely underground.
It's just that after thinking of this, an idea suddenly popped up in Xu Shenzhou's mind that shocked him a little.
Could it be that most of the city's underground has been occupied by those mutant plants, and the living space of those mutant ants and mutant cockroaches has been compressed, so the mutants near the botanical garden will abandon their nests and migrate to other places?
According to this phenomenon, Xu Shenzhou thought of his experience in Wanxian, at that time, Wanxian was first occupied by corpses.
But later, those corpses began to spread and migrate to the outskirts of the city, and when he entered Wanxian, he learned that the urban area of Wanxian County had been occupied by those mutated gray crows and black sparrows.
From this, can it be inferred that those mutated creatures have a strong sense of territory after mutation and evolution, but as long as they occupy the territory, they do not tolerate the existence of other biological groups?
And now, those mutant cockroaches that originally lived in the city have migrated once, and now with the tide of biological migration, they continue to migrate, and at the same time other creatures are deliberately avoiding some mutant plants, does this already mean that the underground of the city has been occupied by the expansion and spread of the roots of mutant plants, so that those cockroaches have to migrate away?
After having such an assumption, Xu Shenzhou found that the situation seemed to be a little bad.
Even the mutated groups of creatures are deliberately moving away from the city in search of a new place to live, so how long can the human refuge camps established in the city survive?
Once the entire city is occupied by mutant plants, Lu Tao's living space will become smaller and more difficult.
However, the people in the camp are very stubborn, have no long-term plan, no long-term strategic vision, and are reluctant to move their nests because of the current temporary security and stability situation, and venture outside to find a safer place to set up a refuge camp.
Therefore, Xu Shenzhou couldn't convince the people in the camp, and he didn't want to say more, and before he left, he could only hope that Du Yuan could bring safety to this camp.
