Chapter 52: Please

As the weather gets warmer, hibernating insects crawl out of their hidden places to avoid the severe cold.For some unknown reason, most insects did not mutate significantly like other animals, and basically maintained their pre-apocalyptic appearance.

However, there are also a small number of insects that have undergone great mutations, such as mosquitoes the size of a little finger, flies the size of a child's fist, and earthworms that are as thick as an adult's thumb and are more than one meter long.However, these mutated insects and mollusks are still very rare compared to their huge populations.Moreover, these mutated insects seldom attack humans, which can be regarded as a blessing among human misfortunes.

On May [-], two bird eggs in the greenhouse broke out of their shells in less than three hours.Two naked, sleek chicks without a single feather looked like turkeys on an Easter plate ready to go in the oven.

As soon as the two chicks emerged from their shells, they opened their mouths big enough to fit a large rice bowl, and they kept singing there.Fortunately, the time when they broke out of their shells was close to the time of making dinner in the afternoon, and Chang Le had already returned to the base, otherwise it would really be impossible to provide them with meat in a short time.

It has been four full months since the end of the world, and the power supply system has already stopped working, so although the combat team can find a lot of food every now and then, except for food, fresh vegetables are basically unavailable. Eat some canned vegetables like cooked food, and there are fewer types.

Fresh meat can be eaten from time to time, but it is no longer the beef, mutton and pork sold in the market, but the prey that the soldiers unintentionally hunted during the process of cleaning up the zombies.Among them, rat meat is the most common.

With the advent of the end of the world, the most adaptable mammal in the world not only survived the catastrophe tenaciously, but also has a tendency to pretend to be bigger.What used to be the size of a bundle of mice is now the size of a cat.

What's even more frightening is that they, who were originally very timid, actually became more courageous after they became bigger.During the process of cleaning up the zombies, the combat team once saw a group of rats attacking the zombies.Nearly a hundred mice actually took only two to three minutes to devour a zombie until there was not even a bone left.If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, the members of the combat team could hardly believe that what happened before them was real.

Of course, under normal circumstances, rat swarms only dare to attack a single zombie. It has never been seen that a large group of rats attacked a zombie group.

Later, I don't know which guy who was tired of eating canned meat actually hit these mice with his thoughts.At the beginning, most of the combat team members felt very disgusted, but after tasting the grilled rat meat, everyone liked this way of eating, and it quickly spread throughout the base .

However, in the entire base, the people who can often eat fresh rat meat are still mainly members of the combat team.After all, although mice have mutated, they are still mainly active at night, and combat teams generally don't go out at night, so catching mice is generally a private action.

The rats caught by members of the combat team at the risk of their lives will naturally not be distributed to those who are not members of the combat team.In this regard, even Chang Le cannot force his subordinates to distribute the captured mice to non-combatants.Therefore, if the members of Fei Combat Team want to eat rat meat, they can only take the risk to catch it by themselves.

The two newly hatched birds have very nasty tastes, they only eat fresh meat, and canned cooked food is placed by their mouths, even if they are hungry, they don't even look at it.And these two guys, even though they were just born, are two big eaters. If they don't eat more than five mice at a time, they shout like a tweeter, making everyone upset.In desperation, Chang Le had to let the members of the combat team go out to catch mice at night to raise these two young birds with great appetites.

It is by no means an easy task to catch mutated mice in the dark night.Especially those two damn little guys have to eat at least seven or eight meals a day, which makes it even more difficult to catch.So much so that a week after they hatched, the battle team's task of cleaning up the zombies was changed to a rodent extermination operation.

For this damn rodent extermination operation, the working hours of the combat team were changed from daytime to dusk and night.At dusk, the combat team dispatched. After killing one or two hundred zombies, the armored vehicle turned off and stopped, and the combat members in the vehicle were not allowed to make any noise.After dark, when the rats came out to eat the corpses of the zombies, they suddenly turned on the headlights, and then shot the rats all over the ground with guns.For this reason, ammunition was wasted during this period.

This situation lasted for ten days before it got better.The reason for the improvement is that one of the people who moved down the mountain to work in agriculture wove a sticky net sticky bird.The sparrow before the end of the world is bigger than two pigeons after being mutated, and only one sparrow can feed a person.So under the leadership of this person, a dozen or so large nets five meters high and two to thirty meters long were quickly woven.Often hundreds of sparrows can be attached in one day.

In addition, in the humid area near the reservoir, a giant earthworm thicker than a thumb and more than one meter long was found, and there are quite a few of them. The most important thing is that the two little ones like to eat them very much.As a result, the members of the tragic combat team were finally liberated from the life of confusing black and white.

There are a lot of fish in the reservoir, and the size of the fish is not small. If you catch any one, it will weigh four or five catties.However, there is a mutated fish among them, which is nearly one meter long and has a mouth full of sharp teeth, which can bite off the calf of a fish catcher on the shore with one bite.

Moreover, the two front fins of this fish are very strong, able to support its body, and move on the ground like a seal. As long as it does not leave the shore for 15 meters, it can safely return to the water.As a result, when people who went fishing in the reservoir were attacked by this kind of fish and more than a dozen people were injured and disabled, no one dared to go fishing in the reservoir again.

After the combat team was liberated from heavy hunting, it re-entered the work of opening the road to Xiangshan.After more than ten days of hard work, the part under the mountain of Xiangshan Park was finally occupied.Because the terrain on the mountain is relatively steep, Chang Le is not going to take the effort to clean it up.

The straight-line distance between Xiangshan Park and the Botanical Garden is only a little more than one kilometer, but they have to pass through countless small areas.It will take at least half a month just to open the channel and clean up the zombies.

If it was before the spring rains, Chang Le might still consider doing this, but now he really doesn't have the thought, let alone the time to waste it.So he chose another road that was not a road, and went directly around the mountain.So it took less than half a day to arrive at the outer wall of the botanical garden.

Facing the two-meter-high wall, they took the simplest and most brutal method, directly breaking a big hole in the wall, and then walked in through the hole.

Their luck was pretty good. Shortly after entering, they saw a building with the sign of the research institute.But when they got closer, they realized that this so-called research institute was actually the Bee Research Institute of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, which seemed to have no direct relationship with crops.But with the attitude of giving it a try, they still walked into the institute.

As soon as the combat team entered the gate of the institute, they saw someone screaming and rushing out from the building of the institute.The combatants, who didn't know what was going on, immediately put on a posture ready to fight.

And the five women, two men and seven people who ran over screaming, immediately slowed down after seeing the combat team's posture, and stopped completely when the distance between the two sides was only three to forty meters.One of the bearded men raised his hands high and yelled "Don't shoot" as he slowly walked towards the combat team.

"Who are you?" Chang Le asked the approaching man.

"We are the staff of the institute."

"Are you the only survivors?" Chang Le asked, frowning.

"When the disaster happened, it was not time to go to work, so when the disaster happened, there were less than 20 people in the entire research institute." The man replied honestly.Speaking of this, the voice turned and asked: "Are you sent by the country to rescue us?"

"Unfortunately, we are survivors just like you."

The man's eyes darkened after hearing this, and then he became a little flustered as if he had reacted, and said submissively: "We don't have much food here, if you want to take it, you can take it. But, please, please In view of the fact that it is not easy for everyone to survive, don't make things difficult for them."

After hearing this, Chang Le couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then he took a closer look at the man in front of him with an unshaven beard and sloppy clothes.

Since occupying Badachu Park as a base, they have rescued hundreds of people, and most of them are like the few people in front of them, small groups of less than ten people.But almost all of them, as long as there are women in the group, when they see the combat team, they all hope to use the women in their team in exchange for the hope of survival.

But the thin man in front of him actually begged himself to let go of the women in their gang, which made Chang Le's affection for him greatly increased.

"Don't worry. We are not the gang you imagined. One-third of the population in our base is female. Everything is the same as before. We rely on our own hands to support ourselves, and no one is allowed to force them to do it." unwilling things."
