At this moment, Little Hong secretly found Xi 'er and sneakily pulled Xi' er to a remote corner. The two of them stood under a hidden wall. Just as Xi 'er was feeling puzzled, Little Hong looked around worriedly and whispered, "Sister Xi' er, I heard a piece of news. The Four Heavenly Kings have reached an agreement with that person. It was that fellow who told the Four Heavenly Kings a secret. This secret is related to the improvement of evolved humans' abilities …"
She didn't care about how strong she was. Instead, she cared about whether her classmates, women, and children could eat their fill. After listening to Little Hong, she tilted her head and thought for a long time. In the end, she shook her head and said, "We won't participate in this matter. If even you can hear it, it means that everyone knows about it. Let's not talk about whether it's true or not. Even if it's true, we won't have a share in it. When the time comes, there will be too many people fighting over it. What can we do even if there are a few of us?
If one or two of you get hurt, it'll be too late for regrets. It's better to stay here and be obedient. I heard that that person is preparing to farm. Since he can do this, he must have found a way to grow crops. Go and talk to the two little guys. Ask them to give me a heads up and teach us … "
Little Sister Hong was thinking about treasures, while Xi 'er was thinking about farming, which disappointed her greatly. She said hesitantly, "I'm not sure.
"But they are all saying that as long as a top evolver gets that thing, he can become the king of Shanghai. Xi'er, you are a top evolver. If you get it, you can also become a king. Then, who dares to bully us?"
Xi 'er glanced at Little Hong helplessly and explained patiently.
"I'm already a top evolver, but I can't even fill the stomachs of those children. So what if I become a king?
Only by becoming one of those selfish evolvers and collaborating with them can I get what they have. Otherwise, even if I become a king, I will be surrounded and killed by everyone. I don't want that kind of life. For me, only food is the real treasure … "
Xi 'er and Little Sister Hong hid in a remote corner and talked. They did not know that just next to them, Chen Yu was secretly eating the rice balls he had hidden. While eating the cold rice balls, he listened carefully to the weak voices on the other side of the wall. Xi' er's words made him disdainful, while Little Sister Hong's words made his eyes shine with ambition. He could also be regarded as half a top evolver.
The whole city was watching the Four Heavenly Kings, looking for any clues that could confirm the news. The Four Heavenly Kings also knew that they were being watched, so their actions became more and more strange. Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaoqiang and Zhang Cheng had already begun to plan how to kill the mutant beast. The mutant beast had been discovered by the Four Heavenly Kings at first, and it had suffered a lot. The mutant beast might only be one-third the size of the water snake, but its combat power was not inferior to that of the water snake. More than 200 people and more than 10 evolvers died in the battle, which frightened the Four Heavenly Kings, and they began to spy on the mutant beast.
The mutant beast was not in the city, but in the original territory of the Four Heavenly Kings. The waterways there were complicated, and there were not many zombies around, which allowed them to establish a foothold after the apocalypse. The mutant beast was covered in scales, had a huge head, and looked like a flying fish, and hid in the water. It was good at jumping and gliding, so it could easily jump from one river to another. Therefore, their original base had become the exclusive territory of the mutant beast. Almost all the zombies along the river had been eaten by the mutant beast. If they had not run away early and only left a few people in the base to guard the base, the whole force might have collapsed.
If that was the case, the Four Heavenly Kings would not be too worried about it. After all, things that could not go ashore could only soak in the water. However, this mutant beast was different. If the zombies along the river had been eaten, once it went ashore, it could use its four thick limbs to run on land. As long as it found food, it would return to the water to soak again. It could be considered a strange amphibious creature.
In this way, once they controlled this mutant beast, the Four Heavenly Kings would have a killing weapon that far surpassed the top evolvers. At that time, they might be able to unify the whole city. Now that this mutant beast was used as bait by Jin Potian, it had become a bargaining chip to stir up the whole city. They had already suffered a great loss because of this mutant beast, and they knew that this mutant beast was not easy to deal with. If they wanted to kill it alone, they were afraid that the number of evolvers they would lose would be far beyond their imagination.
Zhang Xiaoqiang had obtained first-hand information about this mutant beast. Every time he saw it, his heart would tremble a little. In fact, he had seen many mutant beasts, and many of them had died in his hands. However, after seeing this mutant beast, he began to have a headache. Its super jumping ability and gliding ability let him know that this mutant beast would not be easily confined to one place. If he was not careful, he would be able to escape. First of all, he had encountered a problem at the first step of encircling it.
Secondly, this mutant beast had outstanding defense. So far, there was no known method that could break its scales. Compared to other mutant beasts, scaled mutant beasts were very talented in defense. For example, the water snake could already defend against rifle bullets when it was at level two, and machine gun bullets when it was level three. Now, it might even be able to defend against anti-aircraft guns. However, in Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyes, the water snake was still not a strong mutant beast. At least, he did not know what special ability it had.
Not only did this mutant beast have outstanding defense, but it also had a strange ability that could catch people off guard. If this monster was angered, it could secrete a transparent mucus through the gaps in its scales. Once this mucus appeared, it would be weathered, and the air would be filled with the smell of bitter almonds. Once this smell appeared, humans within a few hundred meters, regardless of whether they were evolvers or not, would be paralyzed in the shortest time possible, unable to decide whether they were dead or alive.
Large-scale chemical weapons were only one of its talents. The scariest thing was the monster's tongue. No one knew the furthest the tongue could reach. The tongue was like the immortal-binding rope in biochemical stories. It was invisible and traceless. Any person or object that was caught by the snake's head would be dragged into the monster's mouth, never to be heard again. The most important thing was that the tongue did not move in a straight line. The survivors around the monster had no place to hide. No matter how well they hid or how complicated the terrain was, they would be dragged out and eaten by the tongue.
All of this information was given by the 4 Heavenly Kings, but it was extremely troublesome. This thing looked strange, its tongue was similar to a frog's, its numbing scent was similar to a Mutant Plant's, and its ability to leap and glide was similar to a flying squirrel's. This caused him to be at a loss as to what type of animal it belonged to, and what class it belonged to.
"Zhang Xiaoqiang, I'm afraid they are up to no good this time. Why don't we take our time to think about it …"
Mo Shaoyun was very worried about Zhang Xiaoqiang dealing with the four Heavenly Kings. Now, he was sincerely planning for Zhang Xiaoqiang. After three to five days, he could see that Zhang Xiaoqiang did not treat ordinary people as untouchables. This was not just a facade, but a reality. In their small force, there were more than 3,000 survivors, 500 armed men, and two small evolutionaries. However, Zhang Xiaoqiang did not give them any special treatment. The two evolutionaries did not have people to take care of them either. Their meals were arranged to ensure balanced nutrition, but no luxurious food was provided. Besides training their fighting skills under Zhang Xiaoqiang, they also had to learn different postures with a group of children. There were no snacks, no toys, and no other things to enjoy.
The supplies that these two evolutionaries received were not as good as those of pregnant women. Zhang Xiaoqiang valued pregnant women and babies the most. Mankind's hope was to have children and reproduce. Mankind could become the masters of the earth by relying on their numbers and technology. Currently, mankind was at an absolute disadvantage. Once they lost their advantage in numbers, they would gradually lose all their advantages, and eventually disappear in the long river of history. Zhang Xiaoqiang's way of doing things was the most popular.
Mo Shaoyun and all the survivors were extremely loyal to Zhang Xiaoqiang. After losing something, they would feel how precious it was. Compared to Hubei and Yin Meng, these 3,000 survivors were willing to die for Zhang Xiaoqiang. As long as Zhang Xiaoqiang needed anything, they would not hesitate to go through fire and water.
