Archie took Lilith and stepped into the heavy lead gate, a desperate man panicking. For Archie, stepping into this gate is a little more comfortable than letting Archie grasp it outside the gate.

There is radiation here, it is said that there is, and Li Wen is not an easy liar, but here Archie can take a breath, but not outside.

Outside the gate was Abel and his men, who were a little slower than he entered, and the bullets would have come in.

Archie held Lilith tightly, standing behind the lead gate, he had been running with weight for more than six hours, although Lilith was not heavy, and when he stopped, he still felt his two long strong legs go limp.

Lilith, a woman who went limp and cried, begged Archie to let her go, and her voice of pleading came through the crack in the door, letting Abel outside the door know that they were not far inside the door, and Abel was heartbroken.

He said in a loud voice outside the gate, "Archie, our long friendship has been the envy and envy of many people, and we have overcome countless difficulties together, but the result today is ...... I feel very sorry. ”

Archie knew that Able would not rush in anytime soon, and he did not go inside, but looked at the situation inside the gate, everything here showed a dilapidated atmosphere, and the crisscrossing of energy pipes, and the scaffolding abandoned by the construction personnel of the engineering department were all reminding Archie that there would be no jerky in it.

Archie said, "Friendship? I wonder you came up with this term at this time, and it's more practical to talk about the problem of jerky. Except for the pipes here are the pipes, your sister is here, and of course ......"

A gust of air from the massive wings flapping the air rushed like a gust of wind down Archie's throat and interrupted him. A large bird landed in front of Archie at some point. Archie's voice trembled, "Of course...... And a big bird! ”

It was about two Archie tall, and it had just folded its wings in front of him, and beneath it were two thick legs like Archie, and the pointed nails on its toes were an inch long. It landed and stared at the two men standing inside the door, as if considering its next move.

Able said outside the gate, "Yes, Archie, as long as you can walk out of the gate with my sister, you'll still be an elder." With your office and secretary, of course, it is also negotiable to continue Lilith in this role if you wish. ”

He waited for Archie to reply, but there was no movement in the gate for a long time.

At this moment, Archie was being pressed by the big bird, and it only jumped on its feet before it reached the two men, tilting its head condescendingly and looking at them.

Lilith screamed first, thinking that the monster would only need to peck through her skull in one fell swoop, and that she and Archie were clearly reflected in its two large eyes, so small and distorted. The great, sudden fear made her turn around and grab Archie, screaming incessantly.

Able shouted outside the gate, "Archie! You beast! What are you doing! He was angry and ordered, "Go to the engineering department to find Li Wen, and ask him to bring a few sets of radiation protection suits, I want to go in." ”

Inside the gate, Archie quickly untied the jerky from his body, hurriedly opened the package, grabbed a handful of jerky from it, and threw it at its feet without counting them, and the jerky jumped twice on the ground, attracting the attention of the big bird.

Unbeknownst to Archie, this big guy was the same little sparrow he used to be.

It was already here when the engineering department was working here, and the intricate pipes here are its best jungle. It spends its days in the garbage cans of those neighborhoods, spends the night here, and spends its days leisurely. It makes its home in those broken pipes without fear of being disturbed by humans.

But it was not alarmed when the workers were evacuated, and it was resting in its nest at that time. It's too small, and it's too timid. When people installed the closed gate, it didn't dare to fly out of people's heads, and when the gate was installed, there was no way out when they wanted to fly out.

If it weren't for the packets of jerky that the workers threw here while working overtime, it might have starved to death.

But there was so little jerky that it grew in size, and by the end its nest in the pipe could no longer fit it. It can't help it, so it keeps tearing down the inner walls of the pipes around the nest with its sharp mouth, expanding its nest, and filling its stomach with the solidified contents of the pipes when it is hungry.

It has mutated.

It is theorized that genetic mutations are prevalent in the biological world. Whether it is a lower organism or a higher organism and a human being, it will cause changes in biological traits due to genetic mutations. Gene mutations can occur at any stage of ontogeny in organisms, can occur in different DNA molecules within cells, or occur in different parts of the same DNA molecule, with great randomness.

The occurrence of gene mutations is also non-directive, and one gene can mutate in different directions, producing more than one allele. It can turn a puppy's snow-white coat into black and red, a corn leaf so white that it can no longer photosynthesize, and of course a small sparrow into a bird the size of a pterodactyl.

The frequency of this phenomenon is also very low, and in higher organisms, only one in 105-108 germ cells will have a genetic mutation. But in an environment flooded with intense radioactive material, there is no predictable pattern in the frequency and direction of genetic mutations.

It was the movement at the gate that attracted it. Its beak was sharp, hard, like a chisel, and its head swung with the jerky that flew by, and its eyes were fixed on the delicacies, and at once it took a piece of jerky and swallowed it into its stomach.

It developed a crush on Archie, and its gaze was no longer fierce. In particular, it saw the legs of the birds that were hanging high under the corners of his trousers, and it chirped, as if to greet Archie.

Outside the door, the people from the engineering department were ordered to bring two sets of radiation protection suits, and the people were chaotic and busy, but they didn't know what the big leader was going to do next. Is it to put on a suit and rush in to destroy Archie?

Able said outside the door, "Archie, I'll give you one last chance, either you come out or I'll close the door, and we'll be settled." ”
