3.87 The Call of the Academy

Thank you for the monthly pass of Tianyuan Fire-

So, who you are is important, and who introduces you is even more important.

It's a form of identity guarantee.

Even if the female mutant gradually becomes alienated and no longer resembles a human, as long as she follows Lord Sag, her safety is not only guaranteed, but she will not be besieged as a monster.

The reason is simple, Sag vouched for her identity.

Can anyone who follows Lord Sag be a bad person?

I have to say that the old leader's vision is indeed vicious.

Therefore, moving all his subordinates into 816 is actually a kind of guarantee. The old leader used the remnants of the entire stronghold to guarantee his granddaughter to Wu Chen. Still a serious human being.

Of course, Wu Chen would not feel these complex mental activities.

He is traveling to the ruins of the zoo accompanied by animal trainer Le Xiaoling to try to tame several powerful monitor lizards.

"My lord, not all monitor lizards are suitable for fighting." Le Xiaoling, who was sitting in the pod, seemed to be familiar with them.

"How many are suitable for domestication?" Wu Chen, who was riding on the back of a dog, immediately asked.

"There are three, the North American short-horned lizard, the South African armadillophile, and the Australian spiny lizard." Le Xiaoling is like a treasure.

"We'll see." It's a blast when you hear the name.

The zoo, like all buildings, has long since been burned to the ground by the fire dragon. Most of the animals inside became food for the dragons. In this sense, the fire dragon is not a picky eater at all. Reptiles are lucky enough to escape from the dragon's breath because of their small size. It has been dormant in situ for more than 20 years, and has grown in size overnight under the catalysis of the mutant gene. Became a monitor lizard comparable to a dragon. However, reptiles have an inherently humble soul. It hasn't been matched by a powerful body yet. It has been inhabiting the zoo for more than a year. No departure of the fire dragon was found. Nor did he go out to compete with the lizard owner's monitor lizard pet for territory.

Before I could reach the zoo, a loud roar came to my ears.

A few monitor lizards are spending a long afternoon in an earth-shattering gladiatorial fight.

Standing on the roof of the adjacent building, Wu Chen saw several big stars in the mud nest gladiatorial arena at a glance. Referring to the animal trainer's description, Wu Chen quickly recognized the North American shorthorn lizard, the South African armadillo lizard, and the Australian spiny lizard.

Without exception, they were all dressed in hideous heavy carapaces, and their bodies were mighty and huge.

Short-horned lizards are easy to identify. The head and entire back are covered with awesome short spines, which are more than 20 meters long. I can change a different color depending on the surrounding environment. Generally there are three body colors: yellow, gray and reddish-brown, and they mainly feed on ants (please note!). and sometimes other insects such as locusts, beetles, spiders, etc.

In addition to camouflage, the short-horned lizard also has a remarkable defensive ability. That is, he can quickly double his body size when attacked, making it look like a balloon full of thorns. Let the enemy not dare to approach. If that doesn't work, there's another, more exotic defense mechanism. He will spurt poisonous blood from his eyes. The blood comes from the blood vessels in the corners of the eyes of the short-horned lizard. The mutant is capable of spraying hundreds of meters away! It contains biotoxins that can instantly poison reckless intruders!

The South African armadillo lizard is about 20 meters long, and its body is covered with huge armor-like scales, and there are six large scales with distinct scales on the back of the head. Dark yellow in color, when in danger, he will hold his tail in his mouth, turn into a thorn ball, and face all the hard scales towards the enemy to protect the soft part of his abdomen, and will even quickly roll down from a high place in this posture to crush the opponent!

The Australian thorny lizard, also known as the Australian magic lizard, is about 20 meters long, covered with spiny scales, even the tail, and has two super large spiny horns on its head. It can also take on red, yellow, and brown body colors depending on the environmental background, and the stinger lizard eats for a long time because it only eats large ants (be careful!). )。 And only one ant is rolled in with the tongue at a time. It can roll 30-45 ants in one minute, and can eat 1,000-5,000 ants in a meal. After a full meal, spiny lizards can sustain themselves for a long time without eating.

No wonder the beast tamer recommended these three monitor lizards to Wu Chen!

According to TT40 estimates, the horns on their heads can penetrate the strongest steel, and the scales on their bodies can withstand even the bombardment of main battle tanks!

Like all heavily armored riders, in addition to their amazing defenses, their loads are also surprisingly high! TT40 is conservatively estimated at least 20 tons!

With these three heavily armored monitor lizards, Wu Chen's monitor lizard army was suddenly complete!

Beast tamers are animal trainers after all. The monitor lizard's intimacy with Le Xiaoling made Wu Chen think of the lizard owner. This is also a girl who really likes monitor lizards. It's not about thinking of monitor lizards as cheap loving pets that house the rampant flood.

The monitor lizard should have been domesticated by Le Xiaoling for a long time. Even with a simple password, the effect of the information cube created by the TT40 can be realized. Of course, it is still a long way to go to understand more complex combat commands. However, doesn't Wu Chen have a special brainwave amplifier? None of this is a problem.

Because he needed to find new materials to go to the academy, the construction of the monitor lizard battle platform was deliberately postponed by Wu Chen. The armed platform of the three-headed heavily armored monitor lizard is also being designed.

The three-headed monitor lizard was retrieved from the zoo, and the museum was bustling with activity. In order to prevent the gold-eating ants from crossing the river north along the bridge, Wu Chen deliberately placed the spiny lizard and the short-horned lizard in the dragon's nest in the ruins of the guild hall. Another armadillo lizard was placed in the railway station square.

Because of the lantern fruit trees, there are more huge flying insects there.

As for Le Xiaoling, Wu Chen was of course placed in his RV. TT40 has given her a full physical examination, and the results show that although all indicators are better than humans, the DNA is still pure human DNA.

This made Wu Chen very strange. What 'adventures' Le Xiaoling has experienced, maybe even she doesn't know.

After placing the three monitor lizards, Wu Chen rushed to the ruins of Chongqing University in Shapingba District.

Compared to the charred ruins of the city, Chongqing University's school district feels much more organized. The exterior of the building is still smoky, but it is magically intact. In other words, the buildings that were burned down by the fire dragon have been renovated. The appearance of scorched black. It's also deliberately old.

Really. TT40's scan findings. The interior of the building has undergone a powerful makeover, and the materials used are not only high-temperature and corrosion-resistant high-grade alloys, but also many high-performance composite materials. These buildings all have a transparent dome in which a variety of giant mutant fruits are planted.

Wu Chen also found a huge egg tree. The scientific name is gold and silver eggplant, and it is an autophytic plant. During the Great Famine, the word of mouth saying 'eggs on trees' is actually this annual herb. It's just that the golden and silver eggplant, which used to be called a shrub, has now become a towering tree. In the super greenhouse converted from a multi-storey laboratory building, such a giant tree grows.

The egg-shaped fruit with full branches tastes like a melon. It is nutritious and can be made into cold cuts or eaten directly, so it is very popular with scorched earth people. That's right, in the twenty years that the fire dragon burned the city, the academy has insisted on supplying food to various remnant sites. Although the resources requested are also very precious, for the people of the scorched earth who are already the happiest to be able to eat, the glory and greatness of the academy have long been deeply rooted in their hearts. Even when these two words are spoken, there is infinite respect.

When he walked in and out, Wu Chen found out. The black tentacles that cover the buildings are thick and incomparably wild kudzu. This is a common vegetable in some southern provinces and regions. Its taste is sweet and cool, and it is often used as a soup and can also be used as medicine. However, like the drilled vine that rhinoceros iguanas like to eat, this kudzu root is now also extremely thick, coiled around the outer wall of the building, in addition to eating, it is also a natural rattan carapace. Possess strong defense.

After scanning the TT40, it was found that not only the buildings, but also the charred and blackened ground were also covered with kudzu. A modified giant excavator is digging up the rhizomes in full swing. The fruits of labor have been piled up on the side of a hill.

The amount of food produced is staggering.

As soon as Wu Chen stepped into the academy, surveillance cameras everywhere captured his image for the first time. The base soon sent a team to greet him. Compared to the Remnant Guard, which has knives, guns, clubs, axes, hooks and forks, and everything is more sci-fi, the Academy Guard, which is dressed in composite armor and holds unified equipment, is much more sci-fi.

Compared to the usual remnant points, the entrance to the academy is more sci-fi and strict. Wu Chen felt as if he had stepped into the deck of a battleship hidden deep beneath the earth. The TT40 even scanned for the presence of an electromagnetic railgun.

Sure enough, the science and technology of the academy did not disappoint Wu Chen from the moment he entered the door.

It's a dungeon on a grand scale.

The passage at the entrance was bigger than Wu Chen's impression, and the Smaug of the Lonely Mountain could enter and exit normally. The walls are entirely encased in an unknown composite material and massive alloy steel structures that stand at intervals. The flexible light strips that light up in circles above the head also show the high-end and luxury of the college. This shows that there is an ample source of energy for the entire base.

Wu Chen found that the personnel in the underground base of the college wore not only the logo of Chongqing University, but also the logo of Chongqing Medical University, Southwest Agricultural University, and many universities and scientific research institutes. No wonder it is collectively referred to as the Academy to the outside world. There is not only one Chongqing University here, but almost all of the post-apocalyptic city's scientific research forces.

In the underground city extending in all directions, the maglev robots that are speeding back and forth have also whetted Wu Chen's appetite.

The leadership of the College is called the 'College Council'.

As a big star in the scorched earth, in the conference room of the college, the directors of the council are looking forward to Wu Chen's arrival.

Wu Chen's Sag identity is the best cover for his black technology. However, the academy still showed great interest in the dog meat around him. Even the college's bionic robot technology is not up to the level of dog meat.

So as for the true identity of dog meat, the academy has another speculation that seems to be very reliable.

That's right, it's the Gold Eater.

Perhaps, Dog Meat is also an evolved gold-eating beast. Of course, in the face of the last Sag, the directors of the academy restrained their inopportune curiosity in time and showed enough courtesy.

In the face of this group of scientists, who are generally around 60 years old, Wu Chen is calm and easy.

I want to stab the Emperor of the Universe to death with a sword! What else can be called a big scene?

"Lord Sag, welcome to the Academy." The white-haired chairman of the board of directors released enough kindness.

"Hello Your Excellency, I am honored to receive an invitation." Wu Chen responded with a kind smile.

"My lord, I heard you're looking for a lightweight material." The chairman was very satisfied with Wu Chen's humility and authentic Chinese.

"That's right, I'm looking for some sturdy and lightweight armor for monitor lizards." Wu Chen blurted out: "Carbon fiber and glass fiber reinforced plastic are fine." ”

"Did Lord Sag ever think of using Foam Gold?" The chairman asked with a smile.

"Huh?" (To be continued......)
