After the fog, I became a birdman

Back home, Su Qing took out the alchemy book at home and opened the first three pages.

Like the book of formations and spells, Su Qing still could only see the first three pages of the book of alchemy. There happened to be a detoxification pill in it, but none of the materials in it belonged to Su Qing.

"Susu, the cultivation department must also think of detoxification pills. No matter whether the detoxification pills work or not, everyone doesn't have enough materials." Qi Jiang closed the book, "Let's think of other ways."

Su Qing felt distressed at the thought of Shanshan staying in such a dangerous place in the new base, and his mind was in chaos: "I will never let Shanshan leave my side next time."

"Angry." Qi Jiang stretched out his hand to caress his face, "Our mutation direction will not allow anyone other than a partner to exist in the territory."

"Then let Shantu move out for me!" Su Qing was anxious, "Abducted my daughter away, and he..."

"He doesn't know if he will survive."

Qi Jiang's words made Su Qing realize that it is useless to complain now.

After a while, Su Qing took a deep breath and calmed down: "Forget it, let's talk about the future, first find a way to solve this plague."

"That's right." Qi Jiang nodded with a smile, and rubbed his forehead against Su Qing's face, "Let's first find out where the lone wolf was infected with the plague, mutant animals have many eyes and ears, maybe they know something that can Detoxify."

Su Qing nodded slightly: "Okay, then let's go find the source tonight."

He took the disinfectant water that had been discarded for a while out of the rivers and lakes again, and after preparing all this, he meditated and practiced according to the rhythm of his life in the past, waiting for the sun to go down.

Far away in the new base, no, before Su Qing and the others knew it, the new base had been officially renamed Fengcheng base.

Shanshan, who was far away at the base in Fengcheng, didn't know that his father Su and Uncle Qi were trying to save her from the siege of the virus.

Half a month passed, and Shantu survived tenaciously after experiencing several life-and-death crises.

But this did not surprise too many people, because there are many people who are more tenacious than him, and those who are weaker than him are like a sea.

In the seriously ill area, patients who were given a death notice can be seen to survive every day, and patients who were recovering well can also be seen to suddenly stop breathing. All these make it common for medical staff.

Shantu was discharged from the hospital a few days ago. He took Shanshan with him all the time, and built a hut with sunshade with the help of several comrades who survived the volcanic eruption.

In the morning, before the sun came out, some people left the base to fetch water. These are mutants who can see night or fly. Coming out early can ensure that they will not encounter too many people and reduce the chance of being infected with the plague.

But as more and more people disappeared mysteriously, the only people who fetched water in the dark were flying mutants. The ability to fly could provide them with some guarantees that they would not be killed by hidden predators unknowingly.

The moment the sun rose, the entire base came alive. Everyone left the base like ants, and headed to a lake [-] kilometers away from the base with various water-holding tools.

Originally, the closest water source to the Fengcheng base was the Yuhe River, but after the plague appeared, people in the base no longer dared to drink the water from the Yuhe River as soon as they thought that Fengcheng was upstream.

Because of this, they had to venture to a lake twenty kilometers away to fetch water. In the process, they inevitably had close contact with other people and were attacked by wild mutant animals.

Even though the plague was rampant and killed many people, the Fengcheng base still did not give up on strengthening everyone's strength. Even after the plague appeared, it began to vigorously promote spiritual practice throughout the base in an effort to strengthen everyone's resistance.

At the same time, everyone's names began to move closer to the practice world, and now they also gave the mutated animal a more intelligible name, half-monster.

After a period of time, the mutated animals in the stable period are also called monsters.

Back to the topic, when everyone went out to fetch water, Shantu also put on a mask, leaned on a cane and carried a bucket to fetch water, while Shanshan squatted on his shoulders to accompany him out.

The grassland has been stepped on by everyone, and the half-monsters who regard the Fengcheng base as a hunting ground also came to hide nearby before the first rays of sunlight appeared.

On the outskirts of the crowd were patrols with war pets. They were patrolling near this specific route. The mutant dogs shook their noses trying to distinguish the scent of half-monster beasts from the air mixed with countless scents.The vision mutants riding flying battle pets in the air are also trying to distinguish whether there are half-monsters hidden behind various coverings.There are also a few mutants with insect wings such as butterflies and dragonflies. They were unable to join the flight liaison team because of the short flight distance, but now they are also members of the patrol team, patrolling the air, watching out for the approach of flying birds and beasts.

In addition to these large numbers of patrol teams with different mutation directions, there are ten imposing solitary mutants every one kilometer, and they are also the most capable combat team.

The strength of the mutants lags behind that of the half-monsters, but after each battle team has been trained, they can effectively resist the attacks of the half-monsters, and successfully make the half-monsters change their strategies, and rarely attack from the vicinity of the battle team.

On the ground, all the residents who fetched water walked on the road mightily, holding water tools in one hand and holding their weapons nervously in the other.

After the wind picked up, the weather became drier, and so many people walked on the road, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Today is the weather of blowing sand, and with the addition of the dust, it is more difficult for everyone to see the road ahead, and it also provides good cover for some hunters who sneak close.

When the front team passed a hill, the woods above were silent, but everyone stared nervously at the surrounding area, and did not dare to relax when the front team passed safely.

"what!"

Suddenly, just as the front team left the hill, there was a scream from a little later. A half-human-tall cheetah came out of nowhere and bit a boy on the neck.

Blood spewed out, and the smell of blood stimulated the half-monsters hiding around, and the battle was about to break out.

"Be careful, there are half-monsters!"

Before the patrol team rescued the boy, two male lions led a group of lions and ran out from behind a hill a hundred meters away, and all kinds of half-monsters tore off their camouflage and rushed into the crowd among.

"Don't mess, don't mess!"

"Everyone run forward, don't leave the team!"

"There are half-monsters here, come quickly!"

The ground was stained with blood, and the battle team couldn't care less about the head than the tail. In the chaos, the cunning half-monsters killed the panic-stricken prey, and walked away after eating.

After half an hour, the crowd fell silent and the survivors moved on numbly.

There were some stumps left on the ground, and no one collected their corpses. Even the patrol team and combat team quickly cleaned up their grief, and continued to protect everyone and prepare for the defense of the next batch of half-monster beasts.

There are still many tests waiting for them. On this land, as long as humans leave the sanctuary, hunting will not stop.

Among the crowd, Shantu got up from the ground in embarrassment, and picked up his crutches and wooden barrel.

A few drops of blood were sprinkled on the grass next to him, but it was not his blood, but the blood left by Shan Shan when a wild dog tried to sneak up on him just now.

The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled have always been the target of hunters' attention, and Shantu has also been targeted. If Shanshan hadn't been there, he would have died just now.

After the crowd calmed down, Shantu touched Shanshan on his shoulder, then leaned on his crutches firmly, and continued to move forward with the crowd.

Shanshan was wearing a mask, rubbing his blood-stained paws against Shantu's clothes, his round cat eyes showed disgust: "Meow!"

"Okay, okay, little ancestor, I'll help you wash your claws when you get the water." Shantu smiled innocently, turning his head to see Shanshan looking towards the snow-free mountain range, he felt a little guilty.

He knew that Shanshan wanted Su to consult them.

If it wasn't for taking care of him, Shanshan wouldn't stay in the base, and wouldn't face these dangers. Consultant Su and Mr. Qi would definitely protect her well.

Half-monster beasts are only threats on the surface. Among the crowd, there may be some patients who are infected with the plague but have not yet attacked. These are the biggest threats to them, and they are also the most difficult to find dangers.

They experienced more than a dozen confusions along the way, and Shantu successfully fetched water and returned with the big bucket.

Although he was just recovering from a serious illness, he was still crippled, but his resilience was very strong, and he was the most outstanding mutant with cow power, so it was not difficult for him to carry such a large bucket of water.

He is still a mutation of the soil type, he can easily control the soil, and he will smooth out the difficult roads. If he hadn't encountered several attacks on the way back, he wouldn't even have to stop to rest.

When they returned to the base, the sun had already risen high, and the big sundial in the base had already pointed to nine in the morning. A bell rang through the base, which also meant that the water fetching operation had officially stopped.

In order to prevent heat stroke, everyone will not run around during the day, and strictly follow the time set by the base.

The temperature at [-] o'clock in the morning is probably the limit that everyone can bear. After hearing the bell, the patrol team and the combat team all returned, and the remaining residents all returned to their houses to avoid the sun. The Ministry and Logistics Department continued to be busy under the awning.

The weather is hot, so you have to replenish water to avoid heatstroke, but it is impossible to drink directly, so those who have prepared water at home in advance will start to boil water after the temperature drops at night. During the day, they basically sleep or meditate to try to draw air into the body.

It would be bad if there was no water at home, so I had to bite the bullet and boil water outside the door.

After boiling the water, in order to prevent the boiling water from being stolen, they dare not put it outside, they can only put it in the house, even if the house becomes a steamer, no one will put the water they bought with their lives outside bet.

The day passed quickly, and after the sun started to set, the temperature slowly dropped. Everyone opened the door and waited for the layer of mud and dust accumulated on the door to be shaken off before going out.

Everyone either went to work, or went out to cut firewood and weed. Everyone's body was dusty. Even though everyone had water at home, no one would waste it for washing.

They will use this water sparingly for a few days, and they will last until the next big water fetching event in two to three days.

While busy at Fengcheng Base, Su Qing and Qi Jiang also left Snowless Mountains with their weapons on their backs.

Because the coughing lone wolf came from downstream, Qi Jiang and the others also decided to look downstream.

The first thing they arrived at was the place where the lone wolf was burned last night. The ashes on the ground had been blown away by the wind, and the green wooden arrow was lying on the spot alone. The traces of the lone wolf walking all the way were also covered by the wind and dust. .

"It can only rely on the sense of smell." Su Qing felt a little regretful.

Qi Jiang's nose moved, and he could vaguely catch a similar smell: "Look here."

They tracked all the way downstream, and when they passed the new base, Su Qing stopped and took a look inside.

The new base has changed a lot. The last time they came was during the day, there were not many people outside, and everyone was far apart, and everyone had a look of fear on their faces.

They came here at night today, and there were a lot of people out in the base, everyone was carrying lanterns, and everyone tried to stay away from others, but there were too many people, so the effect was not very good.

The light of the lanterns in their hands converged into a sea of ​​lights, and the fear on everyone's faces faded a lot because of numbness or some changes.

In just a few days, they seem to be more adapted to the current world. The ward is still dignified, but everyone in the safe area is working very hard to live.

"Susu, what's the matter?" Qi Jiang stopped and flew back.

"It's nothing, I just feel that the base is more regulated than a few days ago, and the fence is a little higher." Su Qing shook his head, "Let's go, keep chasing."

The smoke pillars on the other side of the ward still haven't stopped. When Su Qing and Qi Jiang walked around the range of the smoke pillars, they found a very wide road appeared in the grass below, extending from several gates of the base to the distance.

"What is this?" Su Qing flew down curiously, "The grass looks like it has been stepped on many times. Is there any big action for everyone?"

The last time they came here was in the morning, and they didn't meet the water fetching team, so naturally they didn't know where the road led.

There was some residual bloody smell in the air. They probably knew what it was and didn't look at it. Instead, they flew along the road curiously, and soon they knew what the end of the road was.

is a big lake.

Under the setting sun, many mutated animals were drinking and storing water by the lake, and they also found some wounds on their bodies, obviously injured by sharp objects.

Before they knew it, the base had adapted to the world.

Even if there is a plague that threatens everyone's life.

"Let's go." Qi Jiang said softly.

Su Qing hummed lightly, and continued to investigate with Qi Jiang, and finally they found some wild wolf corpses scattered all over the place further downstream than the Fengcheng base.

These wild wolf corpses should all belong to a pack of wolves. There was no trauma on their bodies. Most of them died near the lair. It seemed that they died not long ago, and the corpses had not been discovered by other mutated animals.

Afraid of contracting the virus, Su Qing and the two dared not fly down, but wandered in the sky, and then Qi Jiang found some human remains.

Because there were too few remains, they could not determine the identity of the corpse, nor did they know the direction of its mutation.

Afraid of the spread of the virus, Qi Jiang burned all the corpses and remains, and waited until they were burned to ashes before leaving in peace.

As night fell slowly, Qi Jiang couldn't see clearly, so he could only attack Su Qing.

They continued to expand the area, and found some apparently human packages nearby.

"How can there be people here?" Su Qing was puzzled, "This place is nearly 150 kilometers away from Yuhe Waterfall, which is far beyond the scope of activities of the base. What are they doing here?"

Even if they didn't know clearly, they didn't dare to go down to search, Qi Jiang directly threw the torch down: "Is it possible that they ran out of the base?"

"You mean... a mutant who sneaked out and lived alone, or a person who was hiding from the plague?" Su Qing said solemnly, "If that's the case, will there be people who also escaped from the coast of the canyon?"

Thinking of this, both of them had a bad premonition in their hearts, and hurriedly sped up the search.

Fearing that there would be any omissions, they spent the night thoroughly investigating. Fortunately, they did not find any other mutated animals with symptoms of the plague, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a good thing that mutated animals have their own territory, and they won't approach each other easily." Su Qing expressed a happy expression.

But strictly speaking, the fatality rate of this plague is very high, and the wolves are wiped out. Letting the mutated animals help them find the antidote can only be hoped upstream.

Su Qing was in a complicated mood: "At this time, I really don't know whether it is better to expect mutated animals to be infected with the plague, or to hope that no one will bring the virus out."

"Anyway, just go and have a look." Qi Jiang patted Su Qing's hand, "Let's go back first and let the base know about someone running out, and let them watch over him."

As they said that, they returned the same way, and when they passed by the new base, Qi Jiang threw a ball of paper to the sentry post from a distance.

There is no one else except him and Su Qing in this method of sending letters.

The sentry at the door quickly picked up the ball of paper and subconsciously looked up to the sky, but at this moment Su Qing and the two had already flown away, and he did not find their trace.

The sun was about to come out now, and Su Qing and the others were also afraid of heatstroke, so they didn't rush to the coast of the canyon.

After returning home and taking a shower, Su Qing took a watering can and sprayed disinfectant at home, while Qi Jiang wiped his hair while walking outside, with a towel loosely tied around his body.

"Susu, I saw a sundial over there at the base, let's make a small one at home, and put it on the roof."

"Okay..." Su Qing turned her head, only took one look and then quickly turned her head, her eyelashes flickering desperately, "Say, whatever you want."

Qi Jiang's eyes flickered, he looked down at his attire, raised his eyebrows slightly, put down the towel to take the watering can from Su Qing's hand, and then closed the door and window.

While they were resting comfortably at home, Mr. Han from Fengcheng base also got the paper ball they sent.

Qi Jiang and Su Qing generally would not send news to them easily, as long as they did, it would be a big deal.

Teacher Han nervously unfolded the ball of paper, and when he saw it, he patted the stone table angrily.

"These idiots!"

The deputy who was just about to report outside the door, that is, the head of the second institute at the time, was trembling with fright, and knocked on the door hesitantly after a while: "Teacher, I'm coming in."

After obtaining Master Han's permission, Head Zhou went in to report, and then carefully looked at the note in his hand and asked, "Master, what news did you send from Consultant Su?"

"Look for yourself." Teacher Han said with a straight face.

Head Zhou took a look and took a deep breath: "It actually spread to the wild?"

This is not a trivial matter. It seems that the more half monsters die, the better, but if the virus spreads, the situation is beyond their control.

They can sterilize human beings and stay away from each other, but they can't reason with mutant animals.

"Teacher, it's a big deal at this time, you have to notify the coast of the canyon."

"The Dragon Horn Knife is on the coast of the canyon." Master Han shook his head and sighed, "We can only see if they will send someone over tonight. You should arrange it first and strengthen your security, so that similar situations don't happen again."

This time, Su Qing and the others discovered it early, and the small number of half-monsters downstream did not cause a big impact. The Fengcheng base is safe for the time being, but they don't know what happened upstream.

At this point, upstream.

A mutated fish with a body length of nearly 80 meters suddenly turned its white belly and floated to the surface. The neighbors around looked at it in amazement.

Near a hill not far from the canyon coast gathering place, waves of twisted heat surged on the ground. A man in ragged clothes ran in front of him in horror. He had long black hair and a round face. , one can tell at a glance that it is a bear mutant.

At this time, the mutant was chased by a terrifying python, and not long after, like a gray wind, the python swallowed the mutant in one bite, and contentedly hid under the shade of a tree to avoid the scorching sun.

The sun is scorching the whole land, the weather is getting drier, the cracks on the ground are getting deeper and deeper, the water level is dropping more and more, and the wind is getting stronger, but instead of bringing coolness as before, it stirs the ground. The wind and sand block the sight of creatures and make the environment worse.

In such a harsh environment, all creatures fearfully hide from the sun in their shelters.

The sun slowly moved to the top of the head, and then slowly slanted westward, and the day passed again, and the activities of creatures became more frequent again.

At night, the animals continue their water storage and hunting activities.

The logistics department at the Fengcheng base also organizes people to store water. This is a dangerous operation. Fortunately, the water storage team is not large, and the battle group is enough to protect everyone, so generally nothing will happen, and the half-monster also learns You are smart, you won't take the risk of injury to chew on such a hard bone.

Anyway, they ate in the morning and are not very hungry now.

Su Qing and Qi Jiang flew near the coast of the canyon, they still didn't dare to get too close, but wandered in the sky to search.

Two flying mutants hovered in the sky, making a nearby goshawk couple who were raising their cubs very nervous.

Boo!

An eagle about the size of Jin Jin flew over from the top of the mountain, trying fiercely to drive away the two enemies.

Qi Jiang didn't want to fight with it, his chest vibrated, and he let out a roar-like sound wave, showing his majesty as the overlord of the sky.

Roar!

There seemed to be a huge black beast roaring, the eagle was shaken by the sound waves, staggered up in mid-air, and moved away in horror.

It is just a gatekeeper, and it has not yet reached the stable stage, but there are not many monsters in Fengwai Mountain that have reached the stable stage.

Roar!

Roar!

Roar!

As if causing a chain reaction, the monsters on countless peaks of Fengwai Mountain were all roaring, all looking at Qi Jiang in the air, as if saying: Get out!We are not afraid of you!

Monster beasts are different from half-monster beasts. Even if Qi Jiang's mutated bloodline is higher than theirs, they can still tell that Qi Jiang is still very weak and cannot threaten them.

A murderous look flashed across Su Qing's different pupils, he flapped his wings, and subconsciously sent out a sound wave from his chest.

Boo!

Like a voice from ancient times, it seems that a fire bird born from the fire is raising its head and screaming. It is also the overlord of the sky. His voice is not as rough and penetrating as Qi Jiang's, but it is more distant and noble.

The two sound waves belonging to the top bloodline blended together to resist the malice from Mount Fengwai.

boom!

Invisible energies collided in the sky, refusing to give in to each other. These terrifying sounds were heard on the coast of the canyon tens of kilometers away, but they were all sick, and even the medical staff didn't have the heart to look up.

No one knew that Su Qing and the others had been here.

Half an hour later, the monsters in Fengwai Mountain stopped roaring, and they allowed Su Qing to enter Fengwai Mountain, but their attitude was still tough, so Su Qing and Qi Jiang knew that their actions had better not be too extreme.

Otherwise, what they have to face is not just a few warnings, but a real fight.

"It seems that we can't be too straightforward in the future." Qi Jiang didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

"Did you do the same thing last time?" Su Qing was puzzled.

Qi Jiang naturally shook his head: "It should be that their territorial awareness is improving."

The people on the coast of the canyon can borrow Fengwai Mountain because they are weak, mutants without a stable period, monsters don't care at all, but Su Qing and Qi Jiang are in the same class as these monsters, and the treatment they get is naturally different .

It turned out that they were right to come to Fengwai Mountain this time, and the scene here also made their hearts sink.

They are late.
