We can’t withdraw now, we must wait for reinforcements to come and take out all these mutated creatures, otherwise the consequences of running into villages and towns will be disastrous.”

The commanding squadron leader was a tough short man. Hearing this, he explained: "In addition, so many mutated creatures suddenly appeared. We must find out the cause and solve it as soon as possible, otherwise the beast herd will get bigger and bigger and attack the town sooner or later."

"no problem."

Lin Yu nodded clearly.

The origins of these herds are indeed a bit strange, not only in terms of the probability of mutation that should be very small, but also in terms of their numbers.

Even if it is a 100% mutation, where did so many wild boars and rabbits come from? Laogou Mountain is not a primitive jungle with rich products. It is rare to see a single wild boar or rabbit, let alone a herd of animals.

There are so many wild beasts that either escaped from the wormhole or reproduced and mutated rapidly for some reason. If left unchecked, they would sooner or later cause serious trouble.

"Follow me, Fenrir and I will open the way."

Immediately, Lin Yu stopped talking nonsense, holding two thermal shock knives in front, and he and Fenrir entered the herd and advanced.

It's called a valley here, but it's actually just a valley between two mountains. There's a big mountain not far ahead, but the vegetation is sparse and it looks a bit bald. It's obviously been ruined by a large number of wild animals.

We walked all the way with the special forces team, and after leaving the mountain col, we managed to escape the melee. There were a lot fewer mutant creatures along the way, especially after we climbed Mount Bald. We only ran into small groups of them from time to time.

wild boar.

However, in comparison, the variation level of the pigs on the mountain is obviously much higher, and the worst ones have reached the first level. Occasionally, some fat and strong ones are comparable to second-level dimensional creatures, and the force of the head-first collision is even more powerful.

Nothing less than that.

"This is not a pig farm. Where did we get so many pigs?"

Walking up to the foot of the mountain, Lin Yu, after wiping out a herd of pigs, swung the thermal shock knife. Looking at the blood clots on it that instantly condensed and burned due to the high temperature, he rubbed it against a big tree with some disgust, and burned out a

Deep long carbonized depressions.

"Hey, I think it's good to have more pigs. It just so happens that the price of pigs has increased due to swine fever recently. If we slaughter more pigs and move them back, we might be able to reduce the price of pork."

A special operations team member who was closer to Lin Yu answered with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, please see if you recognize this thing."

At this time, squadron leader He Tian, ​​who had led people to inspect the battlefield, hurried over with a clod of soil.

"This was dug out nearby?"

When Lin Yu heard this, he took it over doubtfully.

What He Tian was holding was not a clod of soil, but a plant tuber similar to taro, but rounder and harder.

"That's right, it was dug out from the soil slope over there. The soil on the slope is relatively new and doesn't seem to have been exposed. It seems that these wild boars have just dug up this thing for food."

He Tian nodded.

"Do you suspect that these changes in beasts are related to this?"

Lin Yu took the tuber and pushed aside the soil on it, looked at it twice, and then said helplessly: "It may not be impossible, but Captain He, don't think of me as omnipotent, okay? I have specialization in the field of biology and plants.

I don’t have much research to learn these things.”

"Hey, isn't this because you are well-informed, Mr. Lin? You are a great scientist. I think you know a little more than us."

He Tian also laughed a little when he heard this.

"That will disappoint you. I can't quite identify them. They don't look like taro potatoes, but they must be plant tubers rich in starch. Wild boars seem to like to dig through these things... By the way, tubers are just tubers after all.

Roots, are there leaves? The leaves should be easier to identify."

Lin Yu actually had some doubts that these tubers might be related to the mutations in the surrounding animals, so he was very concerned about it.

Although the beasts that were fighting in the valley just now were very mixed, there were actually only three or four kinds of animals, wild boars, snakes, rabbits, rats, and occasionally pheasants and the like. Most of them liked to dig holes or dig pits.

They forage on the ground and are mostly omnivores, so they have a high probability of eating these tubers, which is also the biggest thing they have in common.

"No related branches were found. The underground roots are very complicated and penetrate very deep. It is impossible to determine the branches above."

He Tian smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Then there's nothing you can do. Take this thing back and let it be tested or continue to explore further. It's up to you, Squadron He, to decide. You are the professional commander."

Lin Yu smiled and put the round tuber into his tactical item bag.

If these mutated creatures were caused by these tubers, as speculated, then the value of these tubers would be great.

Making living things mutate, or absorbing dark energy to transform the body, if it can be researched and made into a potion, it is almost equivalent to another awakening potion. At most, it can only strengthen the body and is slightly less valuable than the awakening potion.

But these tubers can support mutant creatures all over the mountains and plains, and the yield is obviously not much worse. Even if the effect is worse, it is still productive, just like the difference between the Strike Slayer and the Dragon Fist suit. Personally speaking, the former

More important, but for the country, the latter is a strategic artifact.

Moreover, the effect of these tubers is not only to strengthen living things. With so many wild beasts popping up in the mountains, it would be strange if they did not have the effect of enhancing reproduction and growth. They are therapeutic potions that accelerate self-healing, growth-promoting potions that accelerate growth, and even make people

The population-exploding potion for fertility and fertility...the value of further development is immeasurable.

"It seems that this wave is not a loss, at least it has gained a lot of credit, and..."

After thinking about it for a moment, Lin Yu's expression became strange.

Catalytic growth? Isn’t this what dad lacks?

Normally, the body structure of living things has genetic restrictions and memory. Unless there are small probability events such as mutation, cells will not deviate from the basic framework no matter how they grow. In other words, catalytic growth can only be used as a quick effect to enhance self-healing ability.

Therapeutic drugs.

But Lin Jin can control cell tissue. As long as the speed of cell division and differentiation catches up, he can continuously draw out differentiated cells to build bone armor.

The bone armor happened to be defective and it came to my door unexpectedly? Why didn't I encounter such a good thing?

The role model of dad is too bullying!!! We have all become tool men!

"It doesn't matter. I'm not jealous. I'm not jealous. Anyway, the materials are in my hands. Generally speaking, I've made a profit. Yes, I'm not jealous."

Lin Yu's heart felt like lemon again.

"Mr. Lin? Mr. Lin!"

He Tian's shout brought Lin Yu back to reality: "I have already reported the matter, but I decided to explore the mountain again. I will bother you again next time."

"Oh, it's okay, no trouble, let's go."

Lin Yu woke up and nodded quickly.
Chapter completed!
