Zhang Xiaoqiang suddenly gets out of the car, causing a commotion. Zhang Xiaoqiang stops a hundred meters away, and Ding Ziqiang leads the team to get out of the car and walk to Zhang Xiaoqiang. Then crescent moon and meow also come to him.
Zhang Xiaoqiang stares at the ground. Under his feet, in the dry and coarse soil, a fluffy tip drills out of the ground. It's very inconspicuous. It's the same color as the soil, but if you look around, the whole land is full of such things. Countless tips extend to the distance on the ground until you can no longer see them with the naked eye.
Looking at the things under his feet, Zhang Xiaoqiang knows that he didn't see them when he came, but now they grow about half an inch. Obviously, there's something strange here.
Zhang Xiaoqiang knelt down on the ground to dig with his saber. Others followed him to dig. Soon, dozens of tuberous plants piled up.
These things are like burnt deformed coke, black, with many roots growing at the bottom, and all tubers are irregular. If not for the hairy shoots growing at the top, I'm afraid no one would think this thing is a plant.
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't care about the plants. He 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. When he held it in his hand, it was easy to turn into sand and dust, and there was no trace of moisture at the bottom. Obviously, this thing was good at the ground and had nothing to do with the underground water source.
Those tubers are different from ordinary plants. They have no plant fiber, and they have no water. If you hold them in your hand, they will become powder like coal ash.
This thing is very strange. It amazes Zhang Xiaoqiang strangely. He has never seen a plant that can grow freely without any water. Holding the thing in his hand, Zhang Xiaoqiang found several local people. Later, he found that no one knew this thing. He stood up and looked up. The ground was densely covered with Velvet tips. He didn't know how far it extended. As long as he could see, it was all these things.
Zhang Xiaoqiang thought for a moment and understood that these things need water. Although there is no water to moisten the earth for several months, at night, the change of temperature difference will make the air full of water molecules. Maybe this thing is grown by the poor water molecules, but Zhang Xiaoqiang has never seen these things, It was as if they had been dormant underground until now.
"It's been almost a year since the virus happened, isn't it?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang suddenly said this, which surprised everyone. Then Ding Ziqiang nodded and said:
"It was just a year ago, and today is January 2, 2014."
Zhang Xiaoqiang was surprised that Ding Ziqiang knew so clearly, but he didn't take it to heart. If he didn't expect it, these things suddenly grew up from the ground these 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 comes down, maybe these things will grow up. I just don't know what they mean and where they come from. Are they only found in Inner Mongolia or all over the world?
"Uncle, look what I found..."
Meow meow screamed. Zhang Xiaoqiang turned his head and saw meow meow holding an ant bigger than his thumb. Meow meow pinched the waist of the ant into his hand and struggled.
After taking over the ants, Zhang Xiaoqiang found that the strength of this thing is extraordinary. The ants are not only a little bigger, but also have a thick shell. The little things that can be easily crushed by Zhang Xiaoqiang have no sign of deformation at the fingertips of Zhang Xiaoqiang. The limbs are strong, and there are some small barbs at the joints, Two sickle like mouthparts protrude from the well-developed upper jaw. The huge head is oblate, with a trace of arc, like a certain strange helmet. Two bamboo like tentacles beat Zhang Xiaoqiang's fingers, with a trace of numbness.
Zhang Xiaoqiang pried off the shell of the ant with a military knife and found that there was a bright red muscle on its back. Although it was not big, it was a real muscle.
Ants tremble violently because of pain, and spray some green liquid from their mouthparts. This liquid is ant acid, which is unique to ants. It drops down to the ground as dew. In Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyes, it slowly erodes the skin of a peanut sized gravel.
"And there's..."
With meow meow's cheering, Zhang Xiaoqiang saw that in the underground where the unknown plants grew, micro tunnels appeared in the light. Meow meow was digging out a bigger ant from a passage.
Later, more and more people began to work. Almost every plant had an ant passage, and ants were constantly found. Zhang Xiaoqiang had some insight that this thing had something to do with ants.
All of a sudden, a crisis flashed through his heart, and he yelled: "back up, all back up, back to the car..."
Just as the crowd was running towards the meeting, countless small holes appeared on the surface, and then a layer of dark brown waves surged to the surface. Countless ants swayed their tentacles and crawled to the crowd.For a moment, people were frightened by the sudden emergence of the ant tide, but Zhang Xiaoqiang went back to the military vehicle, found a plastic oil pot, turned around and ran to the place not far from the ants, splashed with gasoline. When the ants climbed over the gasoline, the cigarette end lit curved and fell into the ants in the gasoline.
A small sea of fire appeared in the ant tide. Hundreds of ants were affected by the fire and crawled around. More ants could not bear the burning of the fire and sprayed formic acid on the fire. However, formic acid had a characteristic of being flammable, so the sea of fire began to spread. In the thick smoke, the ant tide broke up and countless ants were not chasing people, Instead, they turned and crawled to the hole they had dug.
Zhang Xiaoqiang originally just wanted to experiment to see if the fire had any damage to these ants. Unexpectedly, he scared all the ants back. For a moment, Zhang Xiaoqiang was still a little dull.
Other people can't control so much. They excitedly point to the ants that are burning in the fire. Some people endure the heat wave and run to pick up a lot of burnt ants. They find that the thick armor of ants has no resistance to the fire. The fire easily turns thousands of ants into coke.
Although it was only a false alarm for the team to set off again, Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart became more and more heavy. Now, insects that have disappeared for a long time appear again. One year after the outbreak of the virus, everything is somewhat strange. Zhang Xiaoqiang doesn't know what it means.
Mutated animals are powerful enough, but mutated insects are also dominant in quantity. Different from mutated animals, insects have their own means to protect their lives. Some are highly toxic, some are extremely powerful, some are extremely fast, and some form communities all over the world. The development of the world begins to show a complicated side, For the first time, Zhang Xiaoqiang has doubts about whether they can take the lead in the world.
Yueya'er is not as far as Zhang Xiaoqiang thinks. Looking from her car window, the vast land is covered with small corners with velvet tips. At the beginning, she was still calculating in her mind how many are 100 square meters and how many are 1000 square meters. In the end, even if she was dizzy, she could not figure out how many plants are in dozens of square kilometers.
When he arrived in Sumu Town, everything was arranged. Zhang Xiaoqiang went to school to see his dry daughter and gave some snacks and clothes. When he saw Xiaocao, he seemed very happy to be with children of the same age. Zhang Xiaoqiang was a little happy, and even his depression dissipated a lot. He couldn't help but worry more about mupeipei's mother and son in the hot spring base.
Walking out of the school gate, Zhang Xiaoqiang saw a stout man, looking over here with a fat rabbit in his hand. When he saw that man, Zhang Xiaoqiang recognized that he was Chagan Bazi's old subordinate, a power type evolutor.
"You came to see the grass?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang went to the man and looked at the gift in his hand. The man didn't have a good face for Zhang Xiaoqiang, but Ji Xiaocao is living a good life now, which makes him not unwilling. He nodded and didn't speak.
"What's your name?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang looks at this man who is a head higher than him, but he still has a small calculation in his heart. No matter how to say, this man is also an evolutionist. He is afraid of Xue Jun's destruction of his main battle company, which makes him interested in forming an evolutionist army. However, evolutionists are no different from ordinary people at ordinary times. It's a waste of time to explore one by one, which makes him a little helpless.
Through Xue Jun, Zhang Xiaoqiang knows that there are a lot of evolutionists. The key is that evolutionists like to hide themselves, perhaps for the sake of the future, or for some other reason. Therefore, Zhang Xiaoqiang does not know many evolutionists.
"I'm Luo Shaoshan. I'm going to see Miss. Do you want to stop me?"
Luo Shaoshan said in a dignified voice, and also raised the rabbit in his hand to prove it. For Zhang Xiaoqiang, they don't know what attitude they should take. After all, Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't treat them badly. No matter in life or work, others didn't discriminate against them.
"You can visit her at any time. As for the rabbit in your hand, I think she will prefer to be a mature one."
Zhang Xiaoqiang looks at the rabbit in Luo Shaoshan's hand, which is not much smaller than the dog. He says with a smile that Luo Shaoshan scratched his scalp, but he still decides not to listen to Zhang Xiaoqiang. Although the rabbit is a little bigger, it looks very cute. Then he can run as a dog with a rope
