Chapter 33: Butterfly Wings?
The Doomsday Storm affected almost all life forms around the world, but the corpse transformation only happened to humans. The variation and evolution rate of other species are related to the relative base of this species.
In other words, the rarer the species, the higher the chance of mutation or evolution, but this probability is still unpredictable. One thing is certain, contrary to humans, the mutation rate of other species is slightly higher than the rate of evolution.
This is also the reason why in the time and space before Li Mo's rebirth, the evolution liquid will continue to maintain a sky-high price, the key is that there are too few evolution beasts.
And because the Evolution Beast and the Mutant Beast have a good foundation themselves, they have a strong strength that is far superior to that of the Evolvers of the same level. Therefore, it can be said that compared with zombies, mutant beasts and evolved beasts pose a greater threat to humans.
Before being reborn, the reason why Li Mo fled from the family area of the machinery factory to the Guanghua community three kilometers away was actually not unrelated to the mutant beast he was looking for today.
Although the genes of the beasts have mutated, they still retain their original animal nature and have a strong sense of territory. Therefore, when a mutant beast appears nearby, it is undoubtedly a huge hidden danger and danger for the survivors there.
You must know that even zombies will instinctively stay away from mutant beasts or evolution beasts that can be immune to corpse poison and are extremely powerful. There are even some beasts that will choose to hunt zombies to fill their stomachs.
Now, the pet hospital in front of Li Mo is the lair of the mutant beast he is looking for. It's just that he has a limited understanding of this mutant beast, and he only knows that it is a large mutated dog in this pet hospital.
Before being reborn, Li Mo had to go out of the house because the family ran out of food. At that time, he thought he was smart to choose this pet hospital, and fell in love with the dog food in it that would be ignored by most survivors.
But at that time, he was still a rookie, and he didn't know about the existence of mutants, and of course he ignored the potential great danger of a canine gathering place like a pet hospital.
And his luck seemed to be very good at that time, when the people arrived, the pet hospital was empty, and even the foster and sick dogs were gone.
But Li Mo didn't see anything wrong with the bones scattered everywhere in the hospital. Well, it's not a zombie! And just when he was overjoyed, he was about to transport the dog food he found home, but he was very unfortunate to be blocked by the mutant dog who happened to return.
Even now, when he thinks back to the situation at that time, Li Mo still can't help but break out in a cold sweat. It was the first time he'd seen a mutant, and it was an extremely disgusting one.
The mutant dog's huge body was comparable to that of a male lion, and there was not a single trace of fur on its body, as if it had been skinned, revealing only bright red flesh.
At that time, I didn't know if the mutant dog had just eaten outside, and Li Mo's reaction was fast enough to jump out of the window directly, otherwise maybe there wouldn't be the weird rebirth it is now.
As for why Li Mo didn't get rid of this mutant dog as soon as the end times came after he was reborn. This is because, like the evolution crystallization, the special mutation source of the mutant beast also needs to complete the mutation before it can be formed.
Therefore, to kill it early is to destroy a cornucopia. On the other hand, although it is not an easy task to kill a mutant dog, compared to its value, it is definitely worth Li Mo's risk.
However, although the genetic mutation rate of mutants is faster than that of innate evolution, it also requires a process. But Li Mo didn't know the mutant dog at all, and the exact time when the mutation was completed.
But this is not a problem for him, because contrary to the shortest seven days of evolution, the process of mutation can be completed on the seventh day at most, which is the law of mutation.
So today, Li Mo is very sure that the mutant dog must have completed the mutation. In addition, in the previous time and space, it was only in a month that it was killed by several evolutionaries within a radius of a few kilometers, including Zhen Ying.
From this, it can be inferred that the current expansion of the territory of this mutant dog has obviously not threatened those congenital evolutionaries nearby.
Therefore, these days, Li Mo has not been in a hurry to act. Even today, from the perspective of time, it is still in time.
Walking on the street, looking at the scattered zombies that kept rushing from all sides, Li Mo calmly waved the mountaineering pickaxe in his hand. But in his heart, he felt that something was wrong.
It stands to reason that this is the lair of the mutant dog, how can there be zombies hanging around here? Although zombies can be terrifying once they gather in groups, don't forget that they don't have a mind and act on instinct.
Even if it is a large group of hundreds of corpses, they will not choose to challenge mutant beasts or evolution beasts that are immune to corpse poison. On the contrary, they will instinctively avoid it.
It's not a matter of strength, it's the influence of survival instinct. In the inherent thinking of zombies, there is an instinctive fear of mutant beasts and evolved beasts. It's like a herd of wildebeest on the grassland, which will never dare to challenge a lion.
But now, zombies are roaming around the mutant dog's den. The reason for this can only be that the mutant dog is not here at all.
Is it to hunt or patrol the territory? Li Mo knew that although mutant beasts also ate zombies, it was a situation that would only occur when they were extremely hungry. After all, compared to fresh flesh and blood, the same zombie meat is air-dried, and even beasts dislike it.
Neatly killing the zombies around him, Li Mo arrived in front of the pet hospital. The door was wide open, and as far as the eye could see, it was a mess.
He didn't rush in, frowning slightly, meditating on the signs of life inside. The evolutionary's special sensitivity to the electromagnetism of life can sometimes be used as a means of detection. Especially beasts that don't know how to converge can easily detect their powerful health fluctuations.
After a while, after basically confirming that there were no hidden lifeforms in this pet hospital, Li Mo walked in.
Soon, though, his face sank. Because the current pet hospital, and the one in my memory, have undergone earth-shaking changes.
When Li Mo came here before he was reborn, he was almost miserable in the hospital. There were bones scattered everywhere. But it doesn't belong to people, it belongs to dogs.
Later, after escaping from death, Li Mo learned that those bones were not left behind by the zombies after they were eaten, but by the mutant dog. After the beast mutates, the beast nature will become more brutal, so it is not uncommon to eat the same kind.
And most dog owners know that dogs are pets that love humans more than their own kind. Therefore, it can be very loyal and loving to humans, but it is very repulsive to its own kind, and even does not hesitate to bite and fight.
Now, however, there is no trace of blood in the hospital. Although it was also a mess, the experienced Li Mo could see that it was simply a trace that had been searched by human survivors.
turned around, and found that the dog food was really gone, and there must be a survivor who coincided with the original self. But the question is, even the survivors have been here, so where did the mutant dog go?
After searching the first floor, he went up the stairs to the second floor, which is a place dedicated to bathing, grooming, and fostering pets. And upstairs, Li Mo finally found the bones of the dog. Not much, and they were all thrown into the bathtub for bathing dogs.
But Li Mo still saw that something was wrong, because those bones were not left by the mutant dogs eating at all, and they were also done by the survivors. In other words, these dogs were killed by humans.
And there are traces of survivors on the second floor, not just one person, but many. I think it was after eating the fostered dog on the second floor, and then transferred with the dog food.
The survivor who eats the dog is nothing in Li Mo's opinion, this person is extremely hungry, not to mention the foster dog, but he is afraid that even the sick dog on the first floor dares to eat.
But what makes Li Mo's heart sink is that the mutant dog has already hung up? Could it be that his own rebirth instigated the butterfly's wings and directly fanned the mutant dog to death? That Rottweiler, it can't be that it was killed and eaten by the survivors before it had time to complete its mutation, right?
