Hei Deng Xia Huo
Chapter 146 Gnats
Li Ang took out a raincoat, packaged the mothman, and put it in the backpack column.
His two teammates had no objections, anyway, this thing was Li Ang's spoils, and there were probably similar monsters in the script later.
The three of them went down to the hotel lobby, took a map from the magazine rack at the door, and walked to the street.
The skyscrapers built of steel and cement were decorated with mottled green, and countless slender plants grew out of the cracks in the walls, slowly and firmly lifting the cement.
The cement pavement, which should have been flat and clean, was also covered with dense trees and weeds. A gray-brown hare hopped across the street and disappeared into the bushes in front of the audio store.
Many vehicles parked on the side of the road had long been rusted and scrapped. A group of dirty wild dogs passed by Li Ang and others.
One of them, a large dog that looked like a German Shepherd, jumped onto the roof of the car and fearlessly looked at Li Ang and others, barking wildly.
"Where did the dog come from?"
Li Ang, who never wanted to suffer losses, roared back at it a few times,
bent down and casually picked up a stone, accurately hitting the dog's head.
The big dog screamed and fell from the roof, and the dogs behind it scattered like birds and beasts.
Li Ang took the lead and rushed over, picking up the unconscious large dog from the ground.
Unexpectedly, Wanli Fengdao, Li Ang just used a wooden stick he picked up to check the dog's physical condition and threw it on the side of the road.
He noticed Wanli Fengdao's eyes and said casually, "Why are you looking at me with such an incredible look?"
Wanli Fengdao coughed awkwardly, "I thought you would take out a knife to skin and gut this dog, and have a dog meat hot pot on the spot."
"Don't slander me, okay? I'm a complete philanthropist!
I not only don't eat animals, but I can't bear to eat plants, fungi, air, or water containing bacteria!"
Li Ang sternly reprimanded, "In my spare time, I go to release spiders, mice, snakes, mineral water, domestic sewage, industrial poisonous gas, and radioactive waste.
Especially when releasing fish, I will hold the fish's tail back and forth into the water, releasing it thirty times a minute, frantically accumulating good fortune.
Even the Bodhisattva appreciates me very much and entrusted me in a dream to play the role of the fake Monkey King in the Sino-US co-production of *Journey to the West* that will start filming in the second half of this year.
As for why it's fake, that's because there is only one true Monkey King in the hearts of people all over the world."
How many times are you going to use this meme!
And I suspect you're mocking certain groups again, but I have no evidence.
Wanli Fengdao chuckled a few times and quickly skipped this topic.
In fact, there was a reason why Li Ang stunned the dog. This dog did not have any serious radiation sickness, was in good nutritional condition, was quite healthy, and had no traces of being kept in captivity.
This is enough to prove that at least in this city, a relatively small, complete ecosystem that is affected by radiation has been formed.
Even if a nuclear bomb had exploded here, it must have been a dozen or twenty years ago. The residual radiation would not cause serious harm to living people in the short term.
Although the radiation problem has been solved, this hazmat suit still cannot be taken off.
God knows whether so many living people in this city have disappeared because of some airborne virus.
Li Ang threw the unconscious dog on the side of the road, and barely identified the location on the map by comparing the high-rise buildings on both sides of the street.
"According to the map, the Tianping Corporation Biotechnology Laboratory is located in the northwest of the city, an hour's drive from where we are."
Li Ang took out a drone to investigate and found that the closer he got to the suburbs, the more luxuriant the trees became.
The area where the biotechnology laboratory was located was no different from a prosperous and lush primeval forest.
The three of them each took out their motorcycles and drove along the highway for a while, and after arriving at the suburban forest,
they put away their motorcycles,
took machetes to chop off the thorns and bushes blocking the way, and advanced on foot in a "品" (pin) formation.
The reason why this clumsy method was adopted instead of jumping back and forth on the treetops
was because another team was likely to be in this jungle as well.
The louder the noise, the greater the possibility of being discovered by the other party.
Fortunately, the physiques of the three players had already reached the peak of ordinary people, and even their speed in the jungle was not slow.
"Wild banana? Monstera? Boa constrictor? Capuchin monkey?"
Li Ang chopped a giant python disguised as a vine to death with a machete and muttered, "Is this Boston or the rainforest?"
Just as the three players were wondering why they hadn't encountered any mutants along the way, an extremely strong shock wave came from the northwest.
The earth trembled, the branches and leaves whirled wildly, the forest birds were startled, and the boa constrictor fell.
The feet of the three players were firmly fixed on the ground as if they had taken root. After a moment, the dull explosion finally sounded belatedly in the northwest direction.
The three looked at each other, ignoring any attempt to hide their tracks, and directly used their own methods to advance at high speed towards the location of the explosion.
Only by getting three points can the mission be considered complete. If the other team completes all the mission objectives in advance,
then their side must wipe out all the enemies to have a chance to earn enough points...
Under full sprint, Li Ang and others quickly arrived at the edge of the explosion zone.
They did not rush in, but hid their figures in the bushes and looked forward.
Kaka kaka—
In the depths of the dense forest, tall trees were constantly breaking and falling, and small mammals such as monkeys fled out in panic, as if they were running for their lives.
The sound of trees breaking was constantly approaching the three players.
As a tree as thick as a person was broken and blown away, Li Ang and others finally saw the maker of the noise.
It was a giant jaguar with a destroyed eye and in a state of rage.
Its size was comparable to that of a complete Shanxiao (mountain spirit), its shoulders were about one story high, its body was strong, its muscles were strong, and its limbs were short and thick.
A paw the size of a door panel could break the trees in front of it with a casual wave.
Most importantly, the patterns on its body, which should have been black spots, had all turned white.
If you look closely, you can see that those white patterns are not spots, but clusters of snow-white worms that burrow out from deep within the jaguar's skin.
Those worms are human botfly maggots, which can burrow into the host's body to collect nutrients, and then burrow out of the host's body after pupating.
The giant jaguar, which was full of human botfly maggots, did not show any discomfort.
While these worms absorbed nutrients from its body, they also formed clusters of worm pillars, which were ejected from the skin like cannonballs, hitting the enemies in all directions.
The reason why this jaguar mutant was angry and mad was because it was surrounded by three human-shaped players who were climbing walls,
whirling and maneuvering like flies, launching high-frequency attacks on it.
