Clang, clang, clang, the off-road vehicle was driving on the rugged dirt road in the wilderness, with violent bumps from time to time.
The off-road vehicle was following a pickup truck from the Recovery Society in front, on its way to the "Good Day Circus".
Even though Gu He fastened his seat belt, he was still shaken and felt numb, "Lorna, fasten your seat belt, please?"
"No, do you think this is safer?" Lorna leaned on the steering wheel and stared at the dilapidated front, "In a place like this where something could happen at any time, jumping out of the car is too common. You tie yourself up tightly.
Just like a turtle."
"He Sang, Lorna has more wilderness survival experience than us. She is a hunter and a mercenary. Should we listen to her?"
After hearing this, Kao Sakai, who was in the back seat of the car, took off his seat belt.
"Uh... I think..." Gu He faced a problem again. Why are there so many tram problems here?
He looked at the desolate scenery outside that was rapidly reversing. The speed of the car was not low. "If we jump from the car, won't we fall to death?"
The body of a transcendent will be strengthened. The higher the transcendent level, the stronger it will be, especially for some professional types such as warriors and hunters, but he is not sure to what extent, and how many doll types can be.
"What are you afraid of? When it comes to people who rely on the flesh to make a living, the dolls are the second best. Who dares to be the first?"
Lorna said with a smile, "If you jump now, don't hit your head and break your hands and feet. If you don't jump well and the bones are too badly damaged, just use a prosthetic body."
"That's not exciting!" Gu He said immediately. He still had to fasten his seat belt first, "Ms. Sakai, fasten your seat belt!"
"Oh..." Sakai Kao put the seat belt back on again.
Fortunately, they were all wearing seat belts. Lorna suddenly twisted the steering wheel and made a sharp turn. The entire off-road vehicle almost rolled over on the broken road, and both passengers twisted violently.
"Lorna, what are you doing?" Gu He exclaimed, thinking she was joking.
But the Ranger pickup truck in front also stopped quickly, and the driver Latham leaned out of the window and looked ahead.
Latham is an old ranger and a second-level programmer of the hunter profession. "There are alien species," he cursed.
"Look over there, at that tree." Lorna had already seen it and gave Gu He instructions, "Did you see it?"
Gu He looked through the front windshield of the car and saw a few old and dead trees over there. They seemed to have been polluted by some biological organism. Their branches were very twisted, like a lot of messy and intertwined cables and wires.
There, there was a porcupine-like figure scurrying about, clawing at the rotten tree roots.
But it was definitely not a porcupine. The thorns on the strange body were mutated flesh thorns with different shades of blood.
Alien species? Gu He frowned and asked, "What kind of alien species is that? It looks really impressive."
"That's nothing." Lorna said, "There was a fool in the mud pond before who turned a rudimentary species as big as a house into something with hundreds of cocks, and that's how he infiltrated people."
This was the second time Gu He heard this thing, and it was the first time that Sakai Huaqing was surprised: "Huh?"
"Looking at the bird-like appearance of that thing, it should be an opportunity species." Lorna looked at the desolate vegetation around her, "This place is too close to the Resurrection Society tribe, and the presence of opportunity species is not a good thing. They really need to move later."
She stuck her head out of the car window and shouted to Latham in front: "It looks like a species of opportunity, and we can't afford to offend him."
"Yeah, let's take a detour first. Don't worry about it. We have noted this place." Latham over there responded.
At that moment, the pickup truck continued to drive and changed direction to bypass the small patch of dead trees.
Lorna stepped on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel to follow, and said: "Young man, always remember that when there is an opportunity, there will be a group of them, and a few people are not enough to send. At this time, you should be cowardly and run away.
Already."
Gu He didn't understand what he heard, and looked at the alien porcupine that was gradually getting further away, "What is a species of opportunity?"
"It seems to be a kind of alien species." Sakai Kao whispered, successfully saying nonsense.
"Okay, okay, I'll be your free teacher again." Lorna pursed her lips, "Give me a cigarette, it's in the drawer in front of you."
"Pull this, it's very strong." Gu He stretched out a finger, the middle finger of his right hand, toward her mouth.
"Ha, you are getting more and more courageous." Lorna couldn't help but smile, and she didn't insist on smoking, so she treated him as a reward. "There are six main types of heterogeneous species, so they are called six types of heterogeneous species.
"Generally, they are ranked according to their rarity, which is:
Lorna paused as she spoke and raised her eyebrows, "It seems that these names are all biology or something, and I don't know which bird's feathers are responsible for them. It's hard to remember them at first. If you ask me to tell them, I'll tell them all."
Damn bastard."
Gu He felt that he might need a goose to explain, "Lorna, you can explain it in more detail."
"I know you like literary things. You should go to college in the Garden District or something."
Lorna is a hunter, and her mercenary business involves hunting alien species, so she has really studied and studied this.
"Opportunistic species mean those species that develop opportunistically in turbulent and unstable environments.
"They are characterized by small size, high reproductive rate, large changes in population size, and some opportunistic ability development according to environmental needs, which is manifested in hearing, vision, smell, etc.
"Boxer's eyes are eyes of opportunity, capable of converting visual information into sound sensations.
"I guess the flesh thorn of the alien species just now will be of some value, and maybe it can be used as a prosthetic body.
"Although opportunity species are the least rare and common alien species, and a single one is easy to deal with, they appear in groups, like rats, and can lay a nest in sewers or other poor places.
"When you see one, you are seeing a group of different races. If you are not prepared to fight hundreds of them at once, then run away. Anyway, opportunity breeds are most similar to street dogs, and you can't fight them all."
After hearing what she said, Gu He immediately understood why he was running. He just hoped that she would increase the speed of the car and run faster.
He looked back at the dead tree farther and farther away, really worried that a large group of mutated porcupines were catching up.
"That's quite close to the tribe camp." Sakai Kao also understood that it was time to move.
"Opportunity species will also attract other alien species, because a large group of them are all meat."
Lorna then went on to talk about several other types of alien species.
The pioneer species has the characteristics of the new species, and its body shape and characteristics are richer than those of the opportunity species.
Refuge species have escaped the disaster in a certain "refuge environment" and have maintained their pre-disaster characteristics. They are more peaceful and more intelligent. Some are very friendly to humans and can even be used as pets.
Prototype species are new species in the process of being formed. Before they are finalized, they are the best and most compatible prosthetic materials for the human body.
Resurrection species have the characteristics of ancient times, and extinct creatures reappear in alien forms.
The exotic species are the most terrifying, weird, and difficult to deal with. They are things that have no idea where they came from hell. It is said that living things must drink water, but the exotic species can eat iron and wires to survive.
They have different structures and organs. To put it in a formal way, they are "not of the same origin, not of the same function, and not of the same plasticity."
Fortunately, the number of exotic species is not large and they are extremely rare, otherwise more places would be uninhabitable.
Lorna said simply and gave some examples, "The alien hand I had difficulty digesting was the material for the precursor species. Wilbur, the alchemist in the Three Legs area, and his dolphin were the refuge species.
Assistant.
She pondered again, "I heard that in the Eden Lake area, because of the good land there, there are more refuge species, and many of them have become pets of the rich, and are as pampered as golden cats.
"In fact, rudimentary species are rare; as for resurrection species and exotic species, I have never seen them. I must be lucky."
"If I have seen it, maybe you haven't seen me.
"You have to know that these things are not wild beasts. All alien species can have extraordinary levels of power.
"Some alien species will also directly release junk information that is indescribable to humans. Just by looking at it, it can interfere with your brain nerves and cause damage to your personality like evil spirits."
Gu He listened and thought, that's really not easy to deal with. You'd be lucky not to encounter him.
"Then we are lucky today." Sakai Kao showed his optimistic side again, "It's just an opportunity, and it's just a lone one. It ran away without fighting."
"Today is not over yet." Lorna smiled, "I guarantee you will see more alien species later."
"Why?" Gu He thought in his mind, raised the thermos cup and took a sip of wolfberry water. The hunter's premonition?
According to what she just said, let alone a resurrection species, an exotic species, and a pioneer species would be enough for them to suffer.
"Which wilderness circus doesn't have a few mutants on display?" Lorna asked, "Good Day Circus, this is a big circus. Although it is my first time to go, I have heard of it. There are so many weird things.
Too much."
"Wait a minute, didn't you say that just looking at alien species would be harmful to one's personality and health?" Gu He asked, "How about the exhibition?"
"Climbing a mountain is harmful to the health of your knees. Why don't you just climb with a bunch of people." Lorna sneered disdainfully, "Some things are only interesting if they are harmful to your health."
"It's like smoking, right?" Gu He sighed helplessly, "Good days circus, good days..."
For a person like him who pays attention to health care, this street dog philosophy is really hard to live with.
"Where's your cigarette?" Lorna asked. Gu He stretched out the middle finger of his right hand, but unexpectedly it was bitten by her. The pain made him scream, but she laughed: "This is also harmful to health, but it's interesting, right?
,Ha ha."
"He Sang, are you okay?" Sakai Huaqing nervously leaned towards the front seat and asked.
"It's okay, I was just bitten by an exotic species..." Gu He flicked the painful middle finger, "Seriously, Xiuji's middle finger?"
"That has nothing to do with Lorna. He owed a gambling debt and was cut off by Yakuza's people. Miss Caiyin wanted to teach him a lesson and didn't protect him, but he said he would change it.
With a metal middle finger, your gambling luck will be better..."
"He should change to a metal cow. His gambling luck will be better." Lorna went with the cow today.
The three of them were talking and laughing, and the SUV followed the pickup truck and continued on the desolate road to Good Day Circus.
