Ji Zhan fired three shots, and the monster slowly fell down and never got up again.
Ji Zhan rarely loses her composure and fires continuously, but she is still in shock.
This monster just now... was imitating Yu Wu's speech.
The monster heard Yu Wu's voice, and then imitated Yu Wu's voice.
Monsters are learning from humans.
When Ji Zhan realized this, he felt extremely disgusted.
Ji Zhan continued to shoot at the green fruit hanging on the tree. Just like before, after the broken fruit burst open, monsters that looked very much like humans fell out.
When Ji Zhan was about to shoot, he suddenly thought of something and held up the gun without making any further moves.
"Ji Zhan, Ji Zhan, they are coming, why don't you shoot?!" Yu Wu hid behind Ji Zhan and shouted hurriedly.
Separated by a layer of gas masks, the appearance of these seemingly human and inhuman things was even more terrifying, but Ji Zhan still calmed down and said: "Wait a moment."
Sure enough, these monsters only took five or six steps forward, and fell down from exhaustion before they reached Ji Zhan and the others.
Ji Zhan seemed to be relieved. Yu Wu looked at the motionless monster lying on the ground and couldn't help but ask: "Ji Zhan, this is..."
"It is a mother monster, and these fruits are the eggs it reproduces." Knowing the type of this monster, it is not difficult to find its crystal nucleus. Ji Zhan took Yu Wu to the next floor and aimed at
He fired several shots in succession at the location of the monster's crystal core.
After the crystal core was destroyed, the tree-shaped mother monster instantly withered, then slowly melted into a viscous liquid, and the weird floral fragrance was replaced by a putrid stench.
The shape of the mother monster is not fixed, but their characteristics are almost the same, such as being unable to move independently, reproducing in large numbers, etc. Monsters that meet these characteristics are classified as mother monsters.
However, because this mother monster grew up in a closed room and could not move on its own, it had difficulty eating. It had too little nutrients so that its reproduction rate was slow, and the monsters it produced were not aggressive at all.
After dealing with the tree-shaped monster, Ji Zhan and Yu Wu also went back to join Lan Qian and the others.
After the fragrance of the flowers dissipated, they all woke up. They heard from Yu Wu that there was a mother monster upstairs, and each of them had lingering fears.
"Fortunately, Ji Zhan is here. He is indeed a super star of our team."
"At the end of this year, I'm afraid the number one ranking last year will be replaced."
"Isn't there still Jing Sa?"
"I heard that the captains of other teams wanted to take Ji Zhan and Jing Sa away, but they were all stopped by Captain Cheng Yue."
Because they have completed several high-risk missions in succession, the reputations of Ji Zhan and Jing Sa have spread among the investigation team. The captains of other teams in the investigation team all want to get Ji Zhan and Jing Sa over.
But with Cheng Yue blocking them, their olive branches couldn't even be extended in front of Ji Zhan and Jing Sa.
Without the mother monster in the way, the subsequent cleaning operations went much smoother.
When the entire building was cleaned, the night stars were already hanging in the sky outside.
"Finally we're out." Jing Sa had been waiting outside for a long time. As soon as he saw Ji Zhan coming out, he went up to meet her. Seeing that Ji Zhan was also looking gray and dusty, he raised his hand to pat the dust on her clothes and said,
"Thanks for your hard work."
Ji Zhan yawned, turned around and waved to Lan Qian, and then left with Jing Sa.
Yu Wu also wanted to catch up, but it was Lan Qian who caught her first and pulled Yu Wu into her team, "The young couple are making out, why are you a big light bulb following? You sleep with me tonight."
Yu Wu: "...qaq, but I don't feel safe without Ji Zhan."
Yu Wu felt that there was no safer place than behind Ji Zhan and Jing Sa.
On the other side, Jing Sa led Ji Zhan back to the temporary tent he was assigned. There were only two sleeping bags in the tent and there were no other things to keep warm.
The conditions in the wild were limited. Fortunately, Ji Zhan and Yu Wu were not pampered. They would naturally not be picky about having slept with the dead.
Ji Zhan was sitting outside the tent, letting Jing Sa wipe her hair with a wet towel. Ji Zhan was still thinking about the mother monster she met today.
"Did you encounter anything today? I just kept seeing you looking unhappy." Jing Sa asked.
Ji Zhan responded in a low voice, and then told Jing Sa about the mother monster he met in the building.
"You look like a human, but you can also imitate people's speech?" Jing Sa also frowned.
Ji Zhan said very confidently: "Yes, although they speak very vaguely, they are really imitating human speech."
Ji Zhan was thinking, if the root system of that tree has enough nutrients and the fruits have enough growth period, what will be the final reproduction...
"Jing Sa, do you think this is also an evolution of monsters?" Ji Zhan suddenly looked back at Jing Sa and asked.
The light from the torch next to them illuminated their eyes, and they both fell silent at the same time.
The first one to speak was Jing Sa, who said: "It's not time yet."
Jing Sa used his fingers to comb through Ji Zhan's knotted hair and said: "The evolution signal of monsters is the pulsating reaction produced by the meteorite KP-22. Although we evolvers will not be affected by the pulsing reaction like monsters, we are also
You can hear it."
"So far, the pulsating reaction has only appeared twice, with an interval of three years. It is only half a year now, so it is unlikely that the monster will evolve again."
"What you encountered today may be just an exception."
Jing Sa was analyzing calmly, as if he was escaping from something. He wanted to rely on the existing evidence to convince Ji Zhan and himself.
Ji Zhan opened his mouth, too many questions and speculations came to his mind, but when he met Jing Sa's slightly lowered eyes, Ji Zhan chose to suppress those speculations in his heart.
Monsters cannot turn into humans.
Absolutely impossible.
That's ridiculous.
If this conjecture is true, then who is Jing Sa...
Ji Zhan immediately gave up his ridiculous conjectures and did not dare to continue thinking about them.
"Then let's treat today's matter as an example." Ji Zhan also relaxed and stopped thinking about the incident. Instead, he gave the hair in his hand to Jing Sa, "Tie my hair."
"Okay." After Jing Sa took it, he seemed to hesitate for a moment, then bent down again and looked at Ji Zhan's level.
The firelight danced in his deep eyes, "Ji Zhan, no matter what happens, don't be afraid of me."
