Zhang Xiaoqiang got out of the car suddenly, causing a commotion, only to see Zhang Xiaoqiang stop a hundred meters away, and Ding Ziqiang, who was confused, led the team to get under the car and walked towards Zhang Xiaoqiang, and then Crescent Moon and Meow Meow also walked to him.

Zhang Xiaoqiang stared blankly at the ground, under his feet, in the dry and rough soil, a tip with fluff drilled out of the ground, this thing is very inconspicuous, the same color as the soil, but as far as the eye can see, the whole land is full of this kind of thing, countless sharp ends on the ground extend into the distance, until the naked eye can no longer see.

Looking at the things under his feet, Zhang Xiaoqiang knew that he hadn't seen it when he came, but now it suddenly grew about half an inch, obviously, there was something strange here.

Drawing out the saber, Zhang Xiaoqiang knelt on the ground and digg, and the others did the same, and also dug with Zhang Xiaoqiang, and after a while, dozens of tuber plants were piled up together.

These things are like burnt, deformed charcoal, black, with many roots growing at the bottom, and all the tubers are irregular, and if it weren't for the hairy little bamboo shoot tips growing at the top, I'm afraid no one would think of this thing as a plant.

Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't care about those plants, squatted in the big pit where the plants were dug out and observed carefully, he found that the soil in the pit was as dry as the ground, and it was easy to turn into sand and dust when pinched in his hands, and there was no trace of wetness at the bottom.

Unlike ordinary plants, those tubers have no plant fibers, and they have no water of their own, and they are slightly hard to hold in your hand, and they become powdery grains like soot.

This thing is very weird, weird makes Zhang Xiaoqiang amazed, he has never seen a plant that can grow freely without any water, pinching the things in his hand, Zhang Xiaoqiang looked for a few locals, and then found that no one knew this thing, stood up and looked up, the ground was densely covered with velvet tips that did not know how many miles away, as long as it was as far as the eye could see, it was all these things.

Zhang Xiaoqiang thought about it for a while, and somewhat understood, these things should need water, although there has been no moisture to moisten the earth for several months, but at night, the temperature difference will make the air full of water molecules, maybe this thing is grown by that poor water molecule, but Zhang Xiaoqiang has not seen these things, as if they have been dormant in the ground, and only now did they suddenly appear.

"It's been almost a year since the virus happened, right?"

Zhang Xiaoqiang suddenly said this, which shocked everyone, and then Ding Ziqiang nodded and said:

"The day before yesterday was exactly one year old, and today is January 2, 2014."

Zhang Xiaoqiang was a little surprised that Ding Ziqiang knew so clearly, but he didn't take it to heart, if it wasn't unexpected, these things suddenly grew out of the ground in the past two days.

At the same time, the sun in the sky has disappeared for half a month, and there is a great chance that the third rain will form, if the rain really falls, maybe these things will grow wildly, but I don't know, what does this thing mean, and where did they come from, is it only in Inner Mongolia, or is it everywhere in the world?

"Uncle, look what I found......"

The meow next to him shouted loudly, Zhang Xiaoqiang turned his head, and saw that Meow Meow was holding an ant bigger than his thumb in his hand, and the thin waist in the middle of the ant was pinched into Meow Meow's hand, struggling hard.

After taking the ant, Zhang Xiaoqiang found that the strength of this thing was surprisingly large, the ant was not only bigger, but even the shell was extraordinarily thick, the small thing that could be easily pinched to death by Zhang Xiaoqiang, at the tip of Zhang Xiaoqiang's fingers, there was no trace of deformation at all, the limbs were strong, the joints were amputated, and there were some small barbs, the developed upper jaw stretched out two sickle-like mouthparts, and the huge head was flattened, with a trace of arc, just like a certain weird steel helmet, and two strange tentacles of bamboo knots whipped Zhang Xiaoqiang's fingers, With a hint of numbness.

Zhang Xiaoqiang pried off the ant's shell with a saber, and found that there was a bright red muscle on its back, although it was not big, but it was a real muscle.

The ant trembled violently because of the pain, and squirted out some green liquid from its mouthparts, which was the ant's unique formic acid, which fell to the ground as a drop of dew, and in Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyes, slowly corroded the skin of a peanut-sized gravel.

"Also, there's ...... here"

With the joy of meow, Zhang Xiaoqiang saw that under the ground where the unknown plant grew, miniature tunnels appeared under the light, and Meow Meow was digging out a larger ant from a passage.

Subsequently, more people began to do it, almost every plant has a channel of ants, and ants are constantly being discovered, Zhang Xiaoqiang has some understanding, this thing is inseparable from ants.

Suddenly, a hint of crisis flashed in his heart, and he shouted loudly: "Retreat, all retreat, go back to the car......"

Just as everyone was running towards the meeting, countless small holes appeared on the surface, and then layers of black-brown waves surged onto the surface, and countless ants shook their tentacles on their heads and crawled towards the running people.

For a while, people were frightened by the sudden ant tide, but Zhang Xiaoqiang returned to the military vehicle, found a plastic oil can, reflexively ran to a place not far from the ants, splashing gasoline, when the ants crawled over the gasoline, the lit cigarette butts crossed an arc and fell into the ant colony in the gasoline...... A small sea of fire appeared in the ant tide, hundreds of ants were affected by the flames, crawling around, more ants could not stand the burning of the flames, sprayed the flame with formic acid, but formic acid has a property, flammable, so the sea of fire began to spread, in the thick smoke, the ant tide collapsed, countless ants did not chase everyone, but reflexively crawled to the hole they dug out.

Zhang Xiaoqiang originally just wanted to experiment to see if the flames did any damage to these ants, but he didn't expect to scare all these ants back, and for a while, Zhang Xiaoqiang was still a little sluggish.

The others couldn't care so much, and they all excitedly pointed at the beeping ants burning in the flames, and some people endured the heat wave, ran over and picked up a lot of charred ants, and found that the thick armor of the ants really had no resistance to the flames, and the flames easily burned thousands of ants into charcoal.

The convoy set off again, although it was only a false alarm, but Zhang Xiaoqiang's mood became heavier and heavier, and now, the insects that had disappeared for a long time reappeared, and it was a year after the outbreak of the virus, everything was a little weird, Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't know what it meant.

The mutant beast is strong enough, but the mutant insects also have an advantage in numbers, and the insects are different from the mutant beasts, each has its own means of saving their lives, some are highly poisonous, some are extremely powerful, some are extremely fast, and some form colonies overwhelmingly, and the development of the world begins to show a complex side, Zhang Xiaoqiang has doubts for the first time whether they can achieve the dominance of the world.

The crescent moon is not as far as Zhang Xiaoqiang thought, she looked out of the car window, the vast land was full of small horns with velvet tips, at the beginning she was still calculating in her heart how many hundred square meters, how many thousand square meters, in the end, even if she was dizzy, she couldn't count, how many plants were dozens of square kilometers.

When he arrived in Sumu Town, everything was arranged, Zhang Xiaoqiang went to the school to see his goddaughter, sent some snacks and clothes, and saw that Xiaocao seemed to be very happy with children of the same age, Zhang Xiaoqiang was a little happy, and even the depression in his heart dissipated a lot, and he couldn't help but be more concerned about Mu Peipei's mother and son in the hot spring base.

Walking out of the school gate, Zhang Xiaoqiang saw a stout man, looking at this side without a head or a brain, holding a fat rabbit jumping around in his hand, and when he saw that person, Zhang Xiaoqiang recognized it at once, it was Chagan Bayi's old subordinate, a power-type evolutionary.

"You're here to see the grass?"

Zhang Xiaoqiang walked in front of the man and looked at the gift in his hand, the man didn't have a good face for Zhang Xiaoqiang, but Ji Xiaocao was doing very well now, so he didn't have anything unwilling, nodded and just didn't speak.

"What's your name?"

Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at this man who was a head taller than him, and still had a small calculation in his heart, no matter what, this man is also an evolutionary, and the cowardice of Xue Jun caused the destruction of his main battle company, which made him interested in forming an evolutionary army, but evolutionaries are usually no different from ordinary people, and it is a waste of time to excavate one by one, which makes him a little clueless.

Through the cowardly Xue Jun, Zhang Xiaoqiang knew that the number of evolutionaries was actually quite a lot, and the key was that evolutionaries like to hide themselves, maybe they were left behind, maybe for some other reason, so Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't know many evolutionaries.

"I'm Luo Shaoshan, I'm going to see Miss, you want to stop me?"

Luo Shaoshan said angrily, and also lifted the rabbit in his hand to prove that for Zhang Xiaoqiang, they didn't know what attitude to use, after all, Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't treat them badly, whether it was in life or work, others did not discriminate against them.

"You can go see her at any time, and as for the rabbit in your hand, I think she will prefer it when she is mature......"

Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at the rabbit in Luo Shaoshan's hand, which was not much smaller than a dog, and said with a smile, Luo Shaoshan scratched his scalp, but still decided not to listen to Zhang Xiaoqiang, although the rabbit is bigger, it still looks quite cute, and then tied to the rope, it can be led and run like a puppy.
