CH 81

Anyway, Li Zhen has determined that these people have no other intentions. It’s just that Fang He thought of the adoring eyes of those people, and can’t help but feel embarrassed. Could it be that these people are actually cat slaves? Fang He shook his head, and shook off that idea, and leave it alone. Li Zhen won’t talk to them until all of them smoothly entered the base.

Fang He put this aside in advance. It was rare that Li Zhen took him to the top of the mountain to see the scenery. From their position, they could see most of the exterior of the base, except that all they could see were the first and second lines of defense, and the third line of defense was on the other side of the lake, hidden between the mountains. 

Fang He’s eyes turned to the other side, looking at the valley below, and then suddenly he made an expression of surprise. He scratched Li Zhen with his cat paw, then pointed down below, “Do you think the forest below is a little strange? The shades of colors seem to be different.”

They came from this dense forest, but at that time his attention was on the 30 or so people, so he didn’t pay too much attention to the surrounding environment. Now, from their point of view, the valley they passed through looked a bit overly lush.

Li Zhen looked at it carefully, and jumped up to a tree on the top of the mountain with Fang He in his arms. After his view was no longer blocked, the situation of the valley below became clearer.

A City belongs to the north, so most of the vegetation here should be some pines and cypresses and some deciduous trees and so on. This season, most of the color of this vegetation should be darker, but the vegetation in this valley looks very bright green. It’s just that the color contrast is not particularly obvious. If you hadn’t stood on the top of the mountain, you wouldn’t be able to see the difference at all. 

“Li Zhen, do you see if there is some difference in color shades?” Fang He cat paw pointed to an area below.

Li Zhen nodded, “Let’s go down and have a look?”

Fang He nodded. Li Zhen then jumped from the tree with Fang He in his arms, and looked carefully along the mountain road they came up before.

When they got to the place where the vegetation was bright green, he couldn’t see any difference between this piece of vegetation and the rest of the surrounding areas. There was even a thick layer of aged pine needles on the ground, and some small grasses like climbing vines grew near the roots of the pine needles and stones.

Fang He looked around, he really didn’t find anything. He looked up at Li Zhen, but he found that Li Zhen’s expression was a little tense. His iconic jaw was tightened once again. Fang He pressed his paws in his arms, “Did you find something?”

Li Zhen nodded, “Although the vegetation looks quite old,” Li Zhen stretched out his hand and cut off a thicker strand of a tree, revealing the fresh stubble inside, “There are no annual rings.”

No annual rings? That means that the root of the tree is new, and Fang He’s plain knowledge was suddenly used, “You mean that these things are all newly grown?!”

Li Zhen nodded and rubbed Fang He’s head. Sometimes his kitten responded very quickly.

“Then let’s collect the ground clean and see.” Fang He said while looking at the entire valley.

Li Zhen slightly looked around, cleaning this place up won’t take much. It’s just that if someone really used a few plant or wood system mutants to hide this place, there will definitely be people staring here. Once they act too much, they will definitely attract attention. 

So Li Zhen squeezed Fang He’s cat paws, “We won’t move these trees, we will only collect the ground alone.”

Fang He nodded, then quickly jumped out. He shuttled through this dense forest, and wherever he passed, all kinds of stones and fallen leaves on the ground were cleaned up.

Li Zhen looked at Fang He who had almost become a phantom, and his eyes evoked a smile. He then closed his eyes, and he released his mind power in a wide range, and the large area of ​​the ground that was shrouded was gathered clean.

Fang He saw that a large area of the ground was cleared up with only the dirt left. His cat ears moved, and his speed became much faster, and when the ground in this valley was cleaned up, Fang He ran back to Li Zhen’s side and squatted in Li Zhen’s arms, while looking at the exposed soil. 

The soil on the ground is obviously not what it should look like in the mountain forest. Although Fang He didn’t have much common sense, he lived in the mountains when he was a child. The soil in this valley should be the kind of particles discharged by various insects, mixed with a variety of debris and various rotting leaves, the color should also be on the black side of the soil, after all, this is the valley, where the ground has not seen the sun all year round.

But now, looking at the pure loess on the ground, if they were not still inside the mountain, they really thought this was in someone’s garden.

“This should be more than just plants and wood systems, I’m afraid that even earth system mutants have come to help.” Fang He leaned down and nestled inside the arms of Li Zhen.

Li Zhen squeezed and circled Fang He’s still clean furry cat paws. He then squatted down and grabbed some handful of loess to examine it carefully. The soil was really pure, with almost no impurities. 

“What kind of person would go to such trouble in this kind of valley. Li Zhen, you think there’s something hidden down there?” Fang He put his cat paw on his chin and said seriously.

When Li Zhen looked down, then saw Fang He’s slightly curled white-furred paw supporting his chin. That look broke Li Zhen’s thoughts, and reached out to hold Fang He and kissed him heavily on the ear.

Fang He’s ears became hot instantly, then he slammed his cat paws on Li Zhen’s face, “Don’t move your hands and feet, get busy!”

Li Zhen scratched Fang He’s belly, and his hand passed between the hind legs of a certain kitten as if nothing had happened. Fang He instantly clamped the hind legs, then stared at Li Zhen with a pair of cat eyes in disbelief, and instantly jumped out of Li Zhen’s arm and landed on a tree beside him, staring at Li Zhen from a distance. He is a cat now! 

The corners of Li Zhen’s mouth moved, and he walked slowly towards the middle of the cleared valley. He reached out and pressed onto the soil, and in an instant, the main piece of the soul was cleaned up by Li Zhen, revealing the dense roots of the pine trees below, and deep scorched earth.

Fang He stretched his head and looked down from the tree. The scorched earth beneath the well-developed root system of the pine trees looked a little familiar. When Li Zhen fell into the depths above the scorched earth and twisted a bit of charred soil to check, Fang He scampered to Li Zhen’s back, then stepped on Li Zhen’s back and stretched his head to ask, “It’s not what I think it is, right?”

Li Zhen flicked the charred soil out of his hand and looked at the scorched earth and said, “If He-miao was referring to the original meteorite crater, then you guessed right. This is indeed the trace of meteorite landing.”

Fang He’s tail hooked Li Zhen’s neck, and his head moved closer, “Has the meteorite been removed?” 

Li Zhen nodded. If there was a meteorite, he would have sensed it long ago. Even through the earth layer he should be able to detect it, but now he doesn’t feel anything. Li Zhen held Fang He’s cat paws and hugged Fang He over. Every time he held this warm kitten, Li Zhen felt his heart soften.

Fang He’s cat paws were caught, but never paid it attention. He was seriously recalling the time when he was in the laboratory before. Did these research lunatics study meteorites? But after thinking about it for a long time, he had no impression of it. But the meteorite did not attract mutant zombies. He had never heard of the laboratory being surrounded by mutant zombies, but it may also be because the laboratory is within the third line of defense in A City.

However, in addition to attracting zombies, wouldn’t a meteorite create a zombie emperor? Fang He glanced at Li Zhen, is this going to be a battle for the throne? He doesn’t know if the one who got the recognition of the meteorite is a human or a zombie, what is its strength now? And what will happen if it fights against Li Zhen?

Li Zhen was amused by Fang He’s flickering eyes, and he walked up from the bottom of the pit and filled the soil back. When he was done, Fang He was still in a trance. Li Zhen rubbed Fang He’s back, and poked Fang He’s ear with the tip of Fang He’s tail. 

Fang He’s ears twitched, and his cat claws grabbed his tail angrily. Does this person know that the tip of his tail is very sensitive and his ears are also very sensitive. Glaring at Li Zhen, Fang He, who had no idea where they were going, suddenly opened up, “You say, will Xiao Baiqiu betray us?”

Li Zhen looked at him strangely, “Why will he betray us?”

Fang He loosened his tail, and said while feeling tangled, “If there is another zombie emperor inside the base and we left those two inside the steel plate house alone, will they be abducted by another zombie emperor?”

Xiao Baiqiu is so capable and cute. He really can’t bear it, and of course there is also the faithful Xiao Sang, who follows Xiao Baiqiu. 

Li Zhen was speechless. This, where is this going, ah. Li Zhen scratched Fang He’s chin and could only say firmly, “No.”

Although the seed of consciousness he had planted in them were all blank, if betrayal was so easy, he would have blown them up earlier.

With Li Zhen’s words, Fang He was relieved. He watched Li Zhen as he restored the valley to its original state, and it took a while to tidy up the things on the surface without any trace.

Fang He nestled inside the bend of Li Zhen’s arm, “Such a wide-ranging change should not be achieved by only one person. Let’s go back and check it out. There must be clues. It’s better  if they have gotten away from the laboratory. Even if there is a zombie emperor, it is better than in their hands.” 

Li Zhen touched Fang He’s ears soothingly. In fact, both of them knew that the meteorite was most likely in the laboratory. Otherwise, after removing the meteorite, why would they cover up the scene?
