713 Try The Mutated Animal

After giving her virus to Bowwow, Lin Qiao turned to look at Black, who was hiding behind the cabin, sticking its head out from behind the cabin to look at her. Black was huge, so Lin Qiao spent a while thinking about how to give it a bath.

It was such a large snake. Should she dig a pond for it?

She glanced at her finger. The little wound on that finger had healed already. She wondered if her virus would be effective one mutated animals as well. Reasonably speaking, those animals mutated because the zombie virus had invaded their bodies. She couldn't tell if her virus would make any differences to mutated animals if she replaced the zombie virus with hers. Unlike the lake water from her space, her virus didn't have a purifying power.

She thought for a moment, then refilled the bucket with clean lake water. Next, she took out the virus that Leng Xuantong developed with her blood and poured it into the water. After that, she brought a roe deer out of her space and tied its neck with the vine that Viney left in the space.

"Lili, Yun Meng, pour some water from the bucket into the roe deer's mouth." Holding the vine, Lin Qiao said to Qiu Lili and Yun Meng, who was standing beside her and watching. Those two girls had no works to do anyway.

"Eh? Alright," Qiu Lili paused briefly, then turned and found a water ladle, fetching half a ladle of water from the bucket. Meanwhile, Yun Meng violently pressed the roe deer down to the ground, then held it tight to stop it from struggling.

Qiu Lili squatted before the roe deer's head. Lin Qiao squatted as well and forced the roe deer mouth to open. Only after that did Qiu Lili pour the water into its mouth.

The roe deer struggled at first, but soon quieted down. Most of the zombies suffered pain for fifteen minutes to half an hour when they accepted Lin Qiao's virus, but unlike them, the roe deer's suffering ended quickly.

"Eh? So soon?" Yun Meng said with surprise.

Lin Qiao and Qiu Lili were both surprised too, looking at the roe deer which was lying quietly on the ground. Lin Qiao was able to see her virus devouring the energy from the zombie virus inside the roe deer's body. Her virus was spreading inside it from the head.

"What will happen? Big Sister, I think you should give this work to the scientist who joined us recently," Yun Meng spent a while looking at the roe deer which was lying motionlessly on the ground, then raised her head to talk to Lin Qiao.

"Em, this will be his work in the future. I just suddenly came up with this idea. I was going to try it on Black, but then I figured that I should first try it on some other mutated animals. After all, mutated animals aren't the same as zombies," Lin Qiao nodded and responded.

Apart from the zombie virus, Leng Xuantong had also been studying Lin Qiao's and Lin Kui's blood. Lin Qiao also asked him to study the energy from the lake.

With the lake water, the farming work in All Beings Base would undoubtedly go much better than that in the other bases. The lake water from Lin Qiao's space was able to purify the virus carried by mutated animals and make them edible for humans. However, it couldn't weaken those strong mutated animals.

Black was actually edible for humans already!

With that thought, Lin Qiao raised her head and glanced at Black, who was coiling on the roof of the cabin.

That glance frightened Black for some reason. The snake instantly shrank and hid its body behind the cabin, only leaving its head outside so that it could see.

Lin Qiao planned to tell Lin Feng to hunt some mutated animals after the New Year when he and his people left the base to collect supplies. A lot of mutated animals could be found in the zoo area.

Soon, the roe deer started moving. As same as Bowwow, it sprung up from the ground and then lay back down. Its bones bulged and then shrank, as if the roe deer was going through some kind of shapeshifting.

"It's happening," Qiu Lili looked at the roe deer curiously, her eyes glowing.

The roe deer lay on the ground as it let out weird screams. Its entire body was twitching in a strange way while its bones were moving under its skin. Back in the old world, that would be a pretty scary scene; but in the post-apocalyptic era, it would scare no one. What could be even more terrifying than zombies, mutated plants, and animals?Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.

Some drastic changes were happening inside the roe deer's body. The roe deer's appearance remained the same, and it soon struggled up from the ground. Its eyes had turned purely black, and teeth seemed to become sharper than before. Its fur stayed in the same color, and no wounds could be found on its body. However, its vibe had changed thoroughly.

It had turned into a zombie beast!

The zombie roe deer shambled slightly before it could stand firmly. Then, it reared up its head to look at Lin Qiao. Its round, large eyes had a life-less, deep black color. But occasionally, traces of wits could be found in those eyes.

"Eh?" Lin Qiao stood up and looked at the roe deer, which was taller than her waist. "It turned into a zombie beast, but seems to be a little different from Bowwow," she said confusedly.

Then, she glanced at Black, who was saying on the cabin roof, as she sighed and continued, "My virus is too strong. A living animal is turned into a zombie beast just like that."

Normally, a mutated animal would not turn into a zombie beast after being bitten by one, because the virus inside their bodies had given them immunity.

The roe deer stood gawkily before Lin Qiao as it looked at her, then looked around itself, and then turned back to her. Its ears flapped from time to time. A short while later, as Lin Qiao made no movement, the roe deer moved close to her with curiosity, reaching its nose forward and sniffing at her.

"Em? I think… it looks so much like the silly roe deers that I saw from TV before! It seems gawky, also curious about anything!" Yun Meng put her arms before her chest as she rested her chin on one palm while curiously observing the zombie roe deer.

Lin Qiao and Qiu Lili both nodded.

The roe deer did seem a little silly!

The roe deer sniffed around Lin Qiao, then turned to Qiu Lili who was standing beside the former.

Qiu Lili took a step backward, because she didn't want the roe deer to get close to her. However, the roe deer moved forward and followed her. Qiu Lili automatically made two more steps backward. Following her movement, the roe deer, which had become a zombie beast, also regained its silly nature, instantly making two steps forward.

Lin Qiao and Yun Meng watched that and laughed. "Why did it become more like a silly roe deer after it turned into a zombie beast?"

No upgrade? Could that be counted as an evolution? Maybe not. Was that a second-time mutation caused by a different kind of virus?

Lin Qiao wasn't sure which level that roe deer was at.

"Roar!" All of a sudden, the zombie dog pounced on the roe deer while uttering a roar.

The roe deer was pressed to the ground by Bowwow before it could even react. The dog pressed its paws heavily on the roe deer, which was larger than itself. Meanwhile, the roe deer's head was already in the dog's mouth.

Crack! Along with the noise, the roe deer's skull was crushed by the dog's teeth.

That sudden twist stunned Lin Qiao and the others. "What… is this?" Lin Qiao murmured with confusion.
