【005】Mutated crayfish
The situation around this area was indeed not optimistic, and the road they passed either by the woods or by the pond was almost the same as the mutant beasts killed in the previous two days combined.
Moreover, Lu Yan can see that many places around this area used to be places where rice fields were planted, but now they are completely barren, and there is no longer a trace of the original 'land of fishing and rice'.
"This doesn't look like a provincial capital metropolis at all, I really don't know how the people of Hangzhou live here?" Lu Yan muttered as he drove the car.
He tried a few roads and found that almost all the roads here would indicate danger, and he didn't know how the people of Hangzhou got in and out of the city, and how they could live in such an environment.
The further the road went, the more barren the surrounding became, and some seemingly beautiful small villages surrounded by mountains and rivers were completely depopulated.
At this time, Lu Yan and the others drove through a beautiful village with no people again, and Lu Yan was about to worry about the lives of the people of Hangzhou again.
Suddenly, a chill rushed over his whole body—danger!
The road that Lu Yan and the others are crossing now is a pond on one side and a hillside on the other.
Feeling the danger, Lu Yan stopped the car and habitually looked up the hillside, because the dangers he encountered in the past came from the forest and from the trees, but at this time, Lu Yan saw that there were only a few small trees in the direction of the hillside, and the grass on the ground did not look very dense, and there were no mutated beasts hidden there.
Oh no!
Lu Yan felt the dangerous aura again, this time it was not based on experience, he quickly found the direction of the source of the danger.
Turning his head suddenly, a large pond appeared in front of him, this pond rippled layer by layer, rippling blue waves... It was unusually peaceful.
"It's... , where is the danger?" Lu Yan was a little skeptical at this time if there was something wrong with his feelings.
However, at this moment, "Wow~~"
Suddenly, there was a strong sound of something slapping on the water.
Lu Yan and the others hurriedly looked in the direction where the voice came from.
In the midst of a few aquatic weeds and reeds next to this pond, something suddenly jumped out, it was the size of a strong dog, but it seemed to have a layer of shiny and gray scale armor all over its body, and it bounced towards Lu Yan's and the two people's car.
"Not good, mutated beast!"
Lu Yan reminded Lan Yue'er loudly to avoid it, and he swung his knife and rushed towards the gray shadow.
The speed at which the beast bounced over was too fast, and Lu Yan only saw that when the guy bounced over, two cold light daggers appeared, and the first thing the mutant beast stretched out were two sharp claws like steel forks.
"Open!"
Lan Yue'er was in the car, Lu Yan was afraid of hurting Lan Yue'er, and it was inconvenient to wield the knife, so he had to use the 'Shennong's Blade' to block that thing.
"Bang!"
"Tear~~"
Lu Yan's knife blocked the thing out, but the beast's nearly one-meter-long claws also cut a hole in Lu Yan's clothes, and the claws even cut a blood groove on Lu Yan's hard skin.
"Fly now, I'll deal with them. Lu Yan hurriedly shouted to Lan Yue'er.
Seeing this, Lan Yue'er hurriedly lifted her body into the air.
"Wow~" "Wow~" "Wow~~"
Just as Lu Yan was about to see what was being knocked into the ground by himself, suddenly, there were several more sounds of water slamming from the pond, and then four or five of the same things as just now jumped out of the water and rushed towards him.
"Trouble, this beast is in packs. Lu Yan was secretly frightened.
Thinking of this, Lu Yan was even more decisive.
With a flicker, Lu Yan first quickly dodged the attack of these things on him, and at the same time swung his knife violently.
"Click!
Two crunching sounds, like the sound of a knife slashing into a large piece of pig iron.
Lu Yan slashed off two beasts that jumped towards him with a single sword.
The other mutated beasts that didn't attack Lu Yan jumped around after falling to the ground.
At this time, Lu Yan took a closer look at the appearance of these things, that is, there was a big gray helmet on his head, a thick piece of scale armor on his body, two long whiskers on his head, two long claws that were one meter long like iron tongs in front of his head, and some small claws under his body, which looked like a mutated beast like a huge shrimp.
However, these animals do not seem to be suitable for life on land, they can only jump and walk on land, and at this time, seeing that they have not attacked their prey, they want to jump back into the water.
"Want to run? No way. Lu Yan rushed up and chopped all these things to the ground.
"Husband, these seem to be mutated 'crayfish'" Lan Yue'er shouted happily in the sky, and after shouting, she obviously swallowed her saliva.
"Crayfish?" As soon as Lu Yan heard Lan Yue'er's reminder and looked at these things again, he immediately found that these were indeed enlarged versions of crayfish. It's just that the enlargement is a bit exaggerated, the normal crayfish is only the size of a palm, and the mutated crayfish is the size of a dog.
Magnified almost tenfold!
"After the crayfish mutated, the body changed so much, it seems that the mutation of underwater creatures is even more terrifying. Lu Yan looked at the ponds around him, and said worriedly, he didn't know what terrible mutant creatures were waiting for them in a big lake like West Lake.
However, Lan Yue'er didn't dislike the big mutant crayfish, she swallowed her saliva and said, "Husband, do you know what I hate the most when I eat 'spicy crayfish'?"
"What?"
"What I hate the most is to peel the crayfish one by one, it's very troublesome, and now there are such big lobsters, I can eat one and be full, how happy it is. Lan Yue'er's eyes lit up as she spoke.
Well, my wife was willing to eat it, so she carried these hacked mutated crayfish into the car, and Lu Yan also wanted to compensate for the taste of the crayfish after mutation.
Along the way, the two of them paid more attention to the pond they were passing by, and at this time, looking at the pond again, they found that there were a lot of these mutated crayfish in the pond, but they were all hidden near aquatic plants or reeds, and the two of them did not find it just now.
And these mutant crayfish just looked at the two of them from a distance, it is estimated that it is inconvenient for them to go ashore, and the pond just now is too close to the roadside, so those crayfish attack the two of them.
"No wonder this place has long been out of people, with these mutated crayfish ambushing people here, ordinary people have no way to live here. Lu Yan thought, yes, the armor of the mutated crayfish is too hard, ordinary humans can't break it at all, and they are also vulnerable to the attack of the crayfish, so they can only stay away from their homes.
Of course, when they occasionally pass by some large bodies of water, they can sometimes see that the water is constantly churning and churning, like sharks rolling in it, and they don't know what mutated beasts and mutant fish are chasing or preying in the water.
After passing a few more ponds, they caught a few more mutated crayfish, and now their car was fully loaded.
"Husband, let's hurry up, we're going to Hangzhou soon, try to go into the city at lunchtime, find a shop to help us make this 'mutated crayfish', I can't wait to repay the taste of this crayfish." Lan Yue'er looked at the crayfish behind the car and drooled.
"Hmm. Lu Yan sped up the car, and of course his wife's desires had to be satisfied.
The Humvee swept out a dust dragon and sped up the mountain road.
