Chapter 29 New Situation

"I have one more thing to warn you before you go." Pierre's voice rang out behind the trio.

A strange creature appeared on the monitor, this thing was pitch black and resembled a long black snake, but the tail was very flat, and the biggest difference from the snake was the head of this thing, a few whiskers made it look dirty and hideous, and the horrible round mouth was full of teeth.

These teeth are arranged in circles on the gums of the mouth, like monsters in nightmares.

"As you can see, keep my eyes wide open.... For nearly half a year, I don't know exactly what went wrong, these strange things kept appearing in the drain, and then they were intercepted by the filter. I don't know what kind of creature this is, there is no such thing in the nursery in the first place, you have to know that this thing is very aggressive, and likes to survive in water....." Xian looked at the thing for a while, and suddenly realized that he had seen this creature.

"It's .... When I was at Hoover Dam, I saw the corpses of the Wastelanders selling this thing, and the people over there called it the Witch Snake, a kind of wasteland monster that liked to sneak up on people near the water's edge and would die if it bit its prey, and would never let go and keep sucking blood. Pierre didn't understand much of the meaning of the words, but stubbornly followed his logic.

"I guess it must have been a bioweapon dropped by the bA people! Go and destroy them, soldiers! The three of them walked into the glass corridor, and the ground was full of green plants, and the inside of this artificially sealed valley had a completely different climate from the outside, and it seemed that many of the creatures of the past had been perfectly preserved, because they soon noticed that there were many creatures in the woodland that they had never seen before, and they were free-foraging freely.

"Look at that!" Andy pointed to a mysterious creature not far away that was tickling a tree, stout on all fours, occasionally standing upright and using its forelimbs for complex movements, with brown hair, a large black nose, two short ears, and a small tail.

It grinned and yawned, a thick tongue and a terrifying sprawling fang.

Unlike the creatures commonly found in the wasteland, this creature has no festering spots, no excess growths, and no ferocious temperament, resulting in its size, but it is not very intimidating, at least it doesn't seem to have any intention of attacking.

"That's a.... I remember seeing a similar monster outside, but it looked a little different. Andy thought of the terrible wasteland creature he had encountered in the mountains behind the Blackfoot Tribe, and if he hadn't happened to encounter a minefield, it was still a question of whether he would be able to stand here now.

Xian knows this guy a little deeper.

"I guess the guy you're talking about is called yaoguai, at least as far as I know, the name of that monster is unified in many regions, that thing is mutated from a wild carnivore before the war, the skin is rough and the flesh is thick and powerful, and if you encounter it at close range, you can kill all the armed mercenaries... Now that guy out there looks like he's probably just..." The cylinder brain took over impatiently.

"What the hell are you talking about? Isn't that obviously a bear? He walked over to the glass window and knocked on the glass to try to get the wild animal's attention.

"Hey! Big Dumb Bear! Look here! The bear was attracted by the sound, and then looked at the three of them curiously for a moment, and his eyes did not have the almost unreasonable and unquenchable fury of the wasteland creatures that Andy was familiar with.

It stopped tickling and sat on the ground, grabbed a few nuts found in the woods with one hand and stuffed them into its mouth, bit the shell, and then used its tongue to nimbly peel off the kernels and swallow them, and finally the lips squirmed and flicked away the husks.

After looking at it for a while, it ate all the nuts in its hand, shook its little ears, and then left the tree where a large piece of bark had been rubbed off and walked away into the dense forest in the distance, not paying any attention to the strange creatures it had never seen.

This actually surprised Andy Chords, who had already touched the gun when they saw the bear move, because as a rule of thumb, such guys tend to hunt down most non-creatures on the go.

"Hah! This bear looks so silly! Tank Brain laughed, and then noticed that the two people next to him were in a weird state.

"It looks like there are still a lot of creatures that only existed in my time, so you can't even forget what the bear is called... But probably you don't see this kind of guy anymore, and it's normal to forget the name... I remember you talking about something that looks like that guy, what is it called yagu..? Xian shook his head and removed his hand from the hilt.

"The word I said reads... yaoguai, it's a mouthful, but it's already a generally accepted word, and it should refer to the wasteland creature that the guy called the bear just now mutated into after the war. "Cylinder Brain is curious about the word.

"You don't care if a bear is called a bear..... I know that the world has changed a lot, but I didn't expect that even this information has disappeared... yaoguai? What does that mean? How do I feel less like SA vocabulary, but like something I learned when I was involved in counterintelligence training before.... Wait, I guess this is a bA word? The string was silent for a moment, then nodded.

“yaoguai..... It means a strange monster, and it is generally believed that this monster was once a common animal, a kind of animal that has undergone some kind of change.... A demon with strange abilities? I guess that's how we can explain it. Andy was amazed at this, he wanted to say that the meaning of the word was too apt, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly had a feeling of being extremely familiar with the pronunciation of the word, as if an unknown figure shouted the word in a fierce and high-spirited tone to form a sentence, similar to: dai!

yaoguai! ..... It felt as if some long-held impressions had suddenly come back to life in his mind, but they were so vague that he froze in place.

The cylinder brain suddenly began to ask strange questions, and did not stop until the strings became impatient. He leaned over to Andy and whispered.

"Hey... Don't believe me when I say this, that woman might be a bA spy! Andy frowned and tried to find out where the strange feeling came from, but in the end the thinking did not come to fruition, so he finally gave up thinking to let go of his aching brain, and he casually responded to the whisper of the tank, "Ah... Actually, I might be an amnesiac bA spy. The tank brain was startled, looked at Andy's face for a while, and shook his head in disbelief.

"Don't talk nonsense, you don't look like her.... Don't think I'm talking nonsense and don't care what I say, and don't let your guard down on bA molecules at any time! You.... Your parents didn't look like that woman, did they? You read me the word ya, don't be nervous, I just suddenly think..."Xian stood aside and looked at the two of them indifferently, and after a moment he spoke impatiently and sarcastically.

"If you think the spy farce can be stopped, I want you to look ahead, there seems to be something wrong with the environment here, something bad should have happened before, I guess this has something to do with the robot mentioned, the person in charge here has been missing for a long time." The two of them looked up at the very end of the glass hallway, and suddenly realized that it had been completely shattered and destroyed, leaving only some metal frames and remnants of glass shards, and even the isolation door had fallen to the ground.

Looking down the broken place, a large stone fell down the hallway, which is supposed to be the cause of the formation of this ruin, most likely from a nearby high mountain.

But when several people approached, they found that the situation was not so simple, and the stone may not have fallen by accident due to weathering and rainfall.

Outside the hallway, in the woodland, there were some crevices of terrible width, which were pitch black and seemed to be filled with a lot of water.

Many stout trees had fallen nearby, and the ground seemed to be torn apart by some unknown force, leaving terrifying scars one after another.

There were also many stones that had obviously fallen from a great height, and one of the larger ones was the one that smashed the glass hallway.

"What the hell... What's going on? Andy was shocked to see the ruins, some of which even stretched from the depths of the earth to the mountains on the side, even though it was obvious that they were not recently formed, but they were still terrifying.

The cylinder brain chord looked at it for a while and came to the same conclusion.

"Sure enough..."

"I guess there was a terrible earthquake here."
