Chapter 576: Radiant Zoo (Part I)

In the suburbs that are gradually regaining their vitality, a shocking scene appears in front of Ye Ning, Li Yishuang and the Lion King. They saw a sheep standing alone, but it was not a sheep in the conventional sense.

The right half of the sheep is no longer covered with soft white fluff, where, the red flesh ***, as if it were an unfinished painting, ruthlessly stripped of color and life by the creator. It had no skin, no hair to soothe, only bare muscles and veins that quivered slightly in the pale sunlight, telling of unspeakable pain.

Its right eye was gone, and there was only a deep, twisted hollow, black hole that devoured all hope. That eye seemed to speak of the sheep's unknown fear and loneliness, as well as the catastrophe it had experienced.

It is full of asymmetrical hardships. Its legs seem to be twisted by some unknown force, and every step is a challenge to the will to live. But the sheep persevered, and despite the pain in its steps, it maintained its forward direction with all its strength.

What is even more shocking is that this sheep has fresh green grass in its mouth, lowers its head, and carefully feeds it to another lamb lying on the ground. This lamb is different in that it has an abnormal body structure and actually has eight legs. These legs are not evenly distributed on the sides of the body, but grow in a staggered manner like a strange flower. Each leg seemed to be bent and bent, and some of them were even intertwined, but all of them appeared unusually powerful.

Ye Ning, Li Yishuang, and the Lion King stood not far away, watching the interaction between these two creatures, their hearts full of shock and complicated emotions. Such a scene seems to be the imprint left by nuclear radiation on this land, the sad collision between nature and human beings, and the manifestation of mother's love and perseverance in life in the disaster.

Feeling that these two sheep have no ill will towards them, Ye Ning did not intend to give them a good time, it is not easy for these two sheep to survive in this situation, the sheep have multiple births, it is estimated that this eight-legged sheep is her last child.

They sighed, but had a pitiful attitude towards the two sheep. The three of them went round the sheep and continued on their journey. It wasn't long before their eyes were drawn to another creature in front of them, a donkey.

This donkey is unusual in that its body looks strong and normal, with well-defined fur and smooth muscles. However, where he was leaning up his neck, there was a jaw-dropping scene. It was as if the neck had undergone an incomprehensible mutation, starting at the root and splitting into two, the two necks extending firmly in both directions, as if they had been misprinted in a biology book. These two necks seem to have their own life, growing at a 90-degree angle to the left and right, and at the end of each neck, there is a donkey's head.

Like two magical lighthouses, one facing the left and the other facing the right, like the eyes of a guardian, each vigilantly watching in both directions. Each donkey head has a pair of black, piercing eyes, and its nostrils are slightly open, as if ready to rush out at any moment.

They had seen too many strange creatures along the way, but the two donkeys amazed them. The more shocking spectacle, however, lies in its reaction. As soon as the donkey saw the three of them, he became alert as if he had been electrocuted, and both heads made the same movement at the same moment—they raised their heads, their eyes widened, and their ears straightened. Then, like a ghost being chased, it suddenly ran away and disappeared into the sparse woods without hesitation. Dust is flying, leaves are falling to the ground, and disturbed birds are flying from the branches, the donkey? It's out of sight.

Ignoring the donkey, they recovered from their shock and moved on, their eyes falling on a cow. The cow looked like a normal cow, with a large body and smooth fur, but upon closer inspection, they found something unusual.

The cow's lips are unusual in that they are divided into three petals, each of which is soft and flexible, as if composed of pliable skin. More striking, however, are the two white spikes that resemble ivory tusks from either side of the mandible, circling its lips. These spikes look sharp and hard, acting as a natural protective device that protects the cow's mouth.

Ye Ning, Li Yishuang, and the Lion King couldn't help but stare at the cow in amazement, they couldn't imagine how such a mouth could allow the cow to continue eating and survive. This peculiar mouth

The inability to close completely makes it difficult for cattle to eat. However, the cow does not seem to be limited by its mouth, its eyes are still gentle and serene, and its body is strong and healthy.

Is this nuclear radiation contamination? Or is it the result of a double layer of action with natural selection? They don't know that at this time, they can only sigh that theory is always just theory, and reality is varied.

At that moment, a dynamic shadow passed in front of them, so fast that only its vague outline could be captured. Ye Ning froze and tried to freeze the picture in front of him in his mind, and this animal, Ye Ning was too familiar with it, he had dealt with it.

It was an animal shaped like a red deer, with a well-proportioned and handsome body, smooth lines, and every muscle stood out as it ran, exuding great strength and vitality. However, the most incredible thing is that it does not have a head, but a pair of thick and powerful antlers that grow from what should be a neck.

The pair of antlers stretched out like a sharp double-edged sword, exuding majesty and power, as if they were kings in nature. The main branches of the antlers are branched out like the branches of a tree, and the tips are extremely sharp, like the works carved by the artist.

However, the subsequent judgment is perplexing, whether the head, mouth, and eyes of the red deer are hidden in its muscular body? Since they only see the side, the truth seems to be clouded with a layer of fog.

Then, under their stunned gaze, the strange creature swept before their eyes like a gust of wind with an unparalleled grace and power, leaving only a brief vortex in the air and a slightly messy grass on the ground. The headless red deer seems to be part of a natural symphony under nuclear radiation, playing the tenacity and incredibleness of life.

Several people couldn't believe it, if this red deer really had a head, but it was shrunk in its body, then how did he survive under the predation of predators? If he didn't have a head at all, how did he eat and survive until now?

Ye Ning, Li Yishuang and the Lion King recovered from the shock of the red deer and the cow, they no longer paid attention to these harmless animals, it was getting late, they had to continue their march to find a place to rest. A short time later, they came to an abandoned house in the suburbs. They saw a gray object slowly wriggling under the old walls outside the house.

When they looked closely, they saw that it was a rat maggot. But the shape of this rat-tailed maggot is completely beyond the cognition of the three of them, not counting the tail, its main part is more than ten centimeters long, which is ten times the size of an ordinary rat-tail maggot. The shiny body looks particularly shocking in the sun, and the folds on the surface of the body are like lines, which makes people feel creepy.

The rat-tailed maggot continued to move slowly on its arthropods, as if searching for its own food under the abandoned house, and, judging by its active appearance, it was likely to continue to grow in length.

The three of them froze in place, staring at the shocking sight, unable to imagine what kind of horror it would be if the rat-tailed maggot continued to grow and become a fly bigger than a bird. The sight prevented them from looking directly, as if they had touched the edge of an unknown world, where fear and unease were imminent. Perhaps, this is the deep scar and warning that nuclear radiation has brought to the world.

The three stood in front of the abandoned house, their faces full of exhaustion. The house seemed to be in perfect condition, and they had originally intended to rest here for a while, or even for the night. However, the rat maggots in front of them made their plans change instantly.

The rat maggot, which is more than ten centimeters long, makes people sick to their stomachs and nauseous just thinking about it. Naturally, they did not dare to imagine how many such creatures would live in the quiet house, working, eating, and wriggling. They dare not imagine that the rat-tailed maggots that could hatch into flies larger than birds in the future.

Ye Ning and Li Yishuang glanced at each other, their faces as pale as paper. Just thinking about this scene makes their scalps tingle, and their hearts are full of uneasiness and fear. So, the two quickly pulled up the lion king, who was still watching blankly.

The lion king didn't know this creature, which was common in human toilets, and he thought of it as a long, big, moving piece of flesh. Because Ye Ning and Li Yishuang didn't go to observe, he could only restrain himself

Feline curiosity just stops and watches.

And now, he was taken aback by the sudden movements of the two, he looked at the faces of the two, and immediately knew the seriousness of the situation, although he didn't know what it was, but even what Ye Ning wanted to stay away from must be very terrifying!

So, the three of them quickly left the house. Their backs pull out long shadows on the dusk grass, with silent abandoned houses behind them and more unknown journeys ahead.

As the sun was setting and the moon was rising, they came under a tree. The suburbs are like this, there is no village in front of them, there is no shop in the back, and they can only settle here for a while and rest for one night.

They ate something, found some firewood, Ye Ning used his ability to make a fire, and according to the original rule of taking turns to keep vigil, he began to rest to recover his strength and welcome the new day.
