Apocalyptic natural disasters, I use the gold house to store goods and win

On the eighth day, still nothing.

There was no sign of the mutated animals, nor any clues to the next disaster.

The staff also tried to wait overnight, but for some reason, they always missed the location where the mutant animals appeared.

It was as if the other party had anticipated their prediction.

By the time the soldiers realized something was wrong and hurriedly chased after it, everything had disappeared completely.

They even tried to look for any traces left by the mutant animals when they left.

After all, these things can't just fall from the sky, right?

However, after the staff carefully searched every inch of the place, they found no trace.

You have to know that the grass in the forest is half as tall as a person. As long as an animal passes by, it will definitely leave some things behind. Not to mention the hair that falls off its body, even the grass will always be crushed.

However, there was nothing.

The other party is like a highly intelligent criminal with strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities, cleaning up everything completely.

The non-human things that appeared outside the defense line every morning seemed to have been placed there out of thin air.

This discovery instantly caused panic.

Animals have always lived together with humans on the blue planet. Before the end of the world, so many experts had devoted their limited lives to studying these creatures. When did they become like this?

At this point, the base no longer conceals some information as it did in the past, for fear of causing panic among the survivors and causing large-scale riots.

We have lived in the apocalypse for so long and have persisted until now. It can be said that everyone now has a common goal, which is to survive.

However, this goal cannot be achieved by the base or the soldiers alone; it requires the joint efforts of all survivors.

No matter how difficult or dangerous it is, we must not stop.

On the morning of the eighth day, something new appeared outside the defense line and directly stung the eyes of everyone present.

It was a human, bloody arm.

When everyone saw this scene, their hearts couldn't help but tighten.

If they were a little unsure about the meaning of those mutant animals that appeared the previous times, then this time, the hostility from the other party was blatant and undisguised.

The entire arm looked like it had been torn off by an animal with sharp fangs. Even the blood on it had not completely coagulated, and some of the flesh was still throbbing faintly.

Before the end of the world, when humans ate beef, they would use this standard to judge whether the meat was fresh or not, but now this standard is being applied to human arms.

Once the target's identity was changed, the atmosphere instantly became terrifying.

The apocalypse has been going on for so long that it is impossible to find a survivor who has never killed anyone. So everyone has seen quite a few corpses, and there are countless others who died in more miserable ways than this one.

But the two cannot be compared at all.

The corpses we usually see are either those caused by infighting among the same kind or by ruthless natural disasters.

But this relatively fresh arm appeared as food.

Anyone who saw this scene would not be so lucky as to think that the mutant animals were just using an arm to scare them, and that the injured who lost their arms would be taken good care of by them.

Since the arm is already here, the owner of the arm must be in great danger.

And on this day, because of the appearance of this arm, the atmosphere in the entire safe zone became extremely depressed.

Although everyone has long understood that mutant animals that have disappeared for a long time should not be friendly to humans, when everyone really sees the truth, they still find it very difficult to accept.

Before the end of the world, equality was advocated for the status of humans and animals, and of course there were many animal lovers who devoted a lot of energy and money to it.

But all human beings know the truth.

If equality were really so, there wouldn't be any animal performances, circuses, or even the persistent practice of eating wild animals.

Humans certainly know that doing so is wrong, but deep down in our hearts, do we really not regard animals as inferior beings?

However, it is obviously too late to pursue this issue now.

Since there were only a few survivors left in the base and everyone was extremely proactive, it was easy to find out the identities of the missing persons.

Or rather, the owner of that arm.

The victim was an ordinary man, about 40 years old, with ordinary looks and height. Just like other ordinary survivors, he had been following the base obediently.

Even some time ago, when the base called on all survivors to go out and look for mutant plants to exchange for points and supplies, he stayed in the safe zone and worked hard to earn some supplies to support his survival.

No one could figure out how this man died.

Why did he step out of the safe zone?

If the deceased was a restless survivor, it would be explainable. However, such an honest man was captured by mutant animals and brutally killed without anyone knowing.

No matter how I think about it, it seems strange.

And this bloody arm, like the thing that appeared outside the defense line a few days ago, was taken into the research institute.

The arm belongs to human, but perhaps we can find some clues about mutant animals on it!

Although this practice is somewhat disrespectful to the deceased, there is no other way for everyone's safety.

Since many of the machines in the base were well preserved, the entire research process went quite smoothly.

And this time, the researchers did find something.

Since the arm was bitten off, it is natural to find saliva genes of an unknown animal at the broken end of the arm.

Why is it unclear?

Because in the gene bank before the end of the world (the base and the capital were not disconnected and information could be transmitted to each other), there was nothing that could successfully match the results of current research.

However, looking at the result, the leaders of the base were not too disappointed.

After all, when animals mutate, their genes are bound to change, so it is normal that they don't match. They just need to identify similar animals from here.

However, the time left for humans was too short. Before the base could produce any results from its in-depth research, night fell.

Although the survivors couldn't help but panic because of what happened today, when it was time to go to bed at night, everyone still forced themselves to close their eyes.

After experiencing so many disasters, everyone has realized how important it is to conserve their energy.

Unlike the survivors, the dim lights were on all night in the simple research institute in the safe zone.

The next day, everyone got up early. On the one hand, everyone was eager to know what useful information the base had finally researched.

On the other hand, they also want to see what will appear outside the defense line today?

Will it be even more terrifying than yesterday, a bloody corpse?

Everyone was looking forward to it, their necks stretched out.
