Chapter 38: Mutants
At noon, Chen Yuan and his team chose a tunnel on a remote section as a resting place. At the beginning of September, the weather in the south is still hot, but the tunnel is much cooler, and there are only two exits, if there are zombies approaching nearby, you can find it in advance, which is much safer. You can get out of the car and relax.
After a simple lunch, everyone rested for half an hour and then set off again, and Chen Yuan, who passed by on the way, still did not enter. It was almost evening, just when Chen Yuan thought that today's trip on the road could pass smoothly. Daha, who was lying next to Qin Mengxue, comfortably enjoying Qin Mengxue's touch, suddenly stood up vigilantly. It grinned incessantly in the direction of the convoy and let out a "purring" roar from its throat.
"What's the matter, Daha?" Qin Mengxue was very puzzled, she was fine just now, but at this time, it suddenly seemed like she had exploded.
Of course, the husky had no way to answer Qin Mengxue's question, so it simply jumped off the sofa directly, rushed to the cab of the RV, and barked at the front. The crowd was still puzzled, thinking that the dog had found some danger. But everyone curiously glanced in the direction of the convoy, and didn't feel anything unusual, it was just a few zombies on the road ahead. But along the way, there is nothing strange about the zombies there.
"What's the matter with this dog? It's a good fart, it's noisy! I didn't find anything special, and the fat man Zhang who was sitting in the passenger seat looked back at the husky with a puzzled look and asked.
"I don't know, it was fine just now, and suddenly that's it. Daha, good, don't scream, let's go back. Qin Mengxue tried to step forward to calm the irritable husky and bring it back to its seat. But it didn't work, and the huskies kept screaming.
Only Chen Yuan's brows suddenly furrowed, he felt that this wind dog would not bark properly, there must be something dangerous in front of him. Something that can make even the wind dog feel dangerous is definitely not something to get along with. So he stepped on the brakes immediately without saying a word, and at the same time as he stepped on the brakes, even a strong sense of uneasiness had risen in his own heart. This made him even more sure that there must be danger ahead.
But it's too late. The whole car suddenly began to skid, and in an instant it lost control and rushed forward. Fortunately, Chen Yuan felt that Daha's screaming was strange, and he slowed down in advance, otherwise if he skidded at the beginning speed, the whole car might tip over directly, and it would be troublesome.
At this time, the speed was not fast, and Chen Yuan could still control the car with all his strength in horror, so that the car slowly stabilized. It's just that the accident happened again, the car had just stabilized, and on the way of the RV sliding forward, a thick ice pick suddenly grew. The car hit the ice pick with an uncontrollable "bang".
Fortunately, the armor of the MAN SUV is very thick, although the car hits an ice pick uncontrollably. It just smashed the icicle to pieces. If it were a person, even a car with a slightly thinner skin, it would be possible for an ice pick to pierce it.
Now the collision not only failed to do anything to the RV, but allowed the RV to stop smoothly. The three cars in the back, because they saw the car in front of them slowing down in advance, stopped before the RV began to skid when the RV skidd. Everyone was shocked when they saw the RV skidding, and they were relieved to see the RV finally stop.
Until now, if Chen Yuan didn't know that there was a problem in this vicinity, then he would have been in the last days for 18 years. In fact, the moment the icicle appeared, a surprising name already appeared in his mind: "Mutant!" ”
The so-called mutants are mutants among zombies. Like mutant creatures, mutants also have special abilities, and the number is extremely rare, and the reason for their occurrence is also unknown. But about 800,000 zombies will have a mutant species, which is slightly higher than the mutant creatures. Otherwise, in the three-legged situation of the world in the previous life, it would not be the zombie force that ranked first.
In the earth after the cataclysm in the previous life, there was a situation in which the three major forces stood together. Among them, zombies rank first in strength due to their large number, occupying the vast majority of the land on the earth.
The power of mutant creatures ranks second among the three major forces, some of them can speak people, their intelligence is not inferior to that of humans, and their strength is extremely terrifying, even those mutant zombies with the strongest strength among the zombies do not dare to provoke them easily. These mutant creatures are the same as in the past, they also have a strong sense of territory, zombies and humans who accidentally enter their territory will be hunted, there is absolutely no entry or exit, Chen Yuan has never heard of it in the previous life, who can come out of the territory of these powerful mutant creatures alive. They are absolutely unprovoked. So they also occupy a large area of land on the planet. It's just that because their number is so small, there are only twenty or thirty powerful mutant creatures of this level in the world. Otherwise, the zombies will also be driven out by the mutated creatures.
This is the third ranked human force, although there were many strong people in the human race in the previous life, but their overall strength is still much worse than that of zombies and mutant creatures. can only barely survive in the gap between the two major forces.
The mutant species is the strongest in the zombie force, and it can be said that every mutant zombie is famous in the previous life. Chen Yuan once watched a battle between human beings and mutant zombies from a distance, which was really devastating and terrifying. How could he not know about such a powerful zombie.
More importantly, if humans can obtain the spiritual flesh of mutant zombies and absorb it, they can obtain the abilities of mutant zombies and become a strong party. This is the reason why this mutant zombie is called a mutant zombie, it is like a seed that can get a great harvest.
The zombies of the mutant species at the beginning of the apocalypse are not very powerful, and they are not really strong at this time. Therefore, it is definitely lucky to be able to meet mutant zombies at the beginning of the apocalypse, which is comparable to the probability of winning the grand lottery. Chen Yuan was not so lucky in his previous life. By the time they knew about the existence of mutant zombies, it would be three or four years later, and at that time, let alone wanting to kill mutant zombies to obtain their spiritual flesh. Don't touch them when you go out, it's already a blessing from God.
But now, Chen Yuan was sure that what they encountered was a mutant zombie.
"Gotta kill it! Obtain Mutant Flesh. This is Chen Yuan's obsession at this time. Most of those who strengthened in previous lives gained their abilities through this way. There was no chance in the previous life, and since it was encountered by itself in this life, there is absolutely nothing that can be missed by it.
So Chen Yuan didn't hesitate any longer, and they stayed in the car and didn't get out of the car, so he opened the car door and jumped down. Although the mutant zombies were not particularly powerful in the early days of the apocalypse, they were not something that Zhang Fat could deal with.
