0052 Mercury Serpent Samuel
Although Chu Dong's plan to dig a fire pit and let the mutant insects jump in by themselves has not been conducted yet, everyone thinks that this should be the best insect-killing plan. Other things, whether they use pesticides or electric cages, are not long-term solutions, and there is no idea what unit's arsenal of flamethrowers.
——Chu Dong also used the pesticides found by the old military doctor in a small warehouse near the greenhouse and the spray insecticides they obtained in the underground supermarket of the Central Plaza. He found that these mutant insects were extremely resistant to poisons. Even if they were soaked directly in the undiluted poison, it would take more than half an hour to die. A small amount of spray was completely ineffective.
However, the fire pit insect extermination plan can only achieve the maximum effect when implemented at night, so they can only quickly take away the vegetables that have not been ruined and then tolerate these mutant insects continuing to rage in a messy farmland.
After snatching the vegetables, Chu Dong and others struggled to complete the territorial patrol mission under the harassment of mutant insects and mutant birds.
When they reached the edge of the territory, they were surprised to find that four bosses with flesh had disappeared. They immediately searched carefully nearby and found four skulls that were gnawed. These should be the good thing that those mutant insects who were completely unaware of what they were afraid of.
Next, under the protection of others, Wang Liang, a construction team, began to install anti-theft windows for all the glass doors and windows of the villa. This work itself was not very difficult, but they could not find the large anti-theft windows that could be installed outside the entire floor-to-ceiling glass door. In the end, they removed part of the guardrail in the yard and installed it outside the door.
In terms of danger, these mutated insects that did not form a sea of insects are not as dangerous as mutant monsters, but judging from the actual troubles, they caused much more troubles to the Chu Dong team than mutant monsters.
However, the size of these mutant insects has increased dozens or hundreds of times, which should be considered a great blessing for the remaining survivors. It should be noted that "the open gun is easy to avoid, but the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent." The biggest advantage of poisonous insects like mosquitoes is actually not poison, but hidden. Even if their toxins are powerful, the larger the body size, the smaller the danger.
Because the problem of mutated insects has not been effectively solved, the Chu Dong team decided to temporarily live in the same villa. The villa where Nie Chenxing and Lincoln lived was temporarily abandoned, while the villa where the Chu brothers and sisters and Lu Jiao lived was made of various anti-theft windows and guardrails, which looked like a prison. But only by installing railings for doors and windows can they feel a little more at ease.
It makes people sigh that the bad habit of human greed for enjoyment is that even if they live in prison, Chu Dong and the others would rather live in a luxurious villa prison that is not fully qualified than moving to a much safer nuclear submarine base. This is really not a wise choice.
From the current point of view, the threat of these mutant insects is indeed not enough to make them give up the luxurious villa with a superior living environment and penetrate into the depressing underground base like ground mice. But if the number of mutant insects emerges several times or dozens of times overnight, even if they want to run away, they will have no chance.
After spending several hours to complete the prisonization of the villa, Chu Dong and his team hurriedly cooked the little vegetables they had snatched from the mutant insects, and ate the long-standing noodles with their long-standing baked bread. Then they immediately walked towards the north of the Central Square with weapons, and they used them as a material warehouse for six office buildings.
The doors and windows of these six office buildings are damaged to varying degrees. It doesn't matter when there were no mutant insects before. Now there are more people who are omnipresent. Chu Dong and the others plan to transfer all the food stored here, and half of them are moved to the unmanned villas around them with intact doors and windows, while the other half is moved to the material warehouse of the nuclear submarine base.
"Chudong, 'Samael' has mutated... no, it should have evolved."
Not long after entering the office building where food was stored, Lincoln, who had just entered the office building where the food was stored, ran downstairs and searched for the black-eyed brocade snake he had caught from Datuozi Island a few days ago, and reported good news to Chu Dong very excitedly.
——By the way, the name "Samael" with a full middle-class aura was not given by the old military doctor. The old military doctor originally wanted to name the snake "Clinton", but it was firmly opposed by Lincoln.
After a dispute, the snake was finally named by Lincoln as the original Seraphim angel, a snake-shaped angel with twelve wings. It is famous for the "angel of death" in the world. After Lucifer's fall, he took charge of the "angel of the Seven Original Sins" and was in charge of the "anger" of the Seven Original Sins.
"Oh, Samar, let's take a look."
Chu Dong, who was completely unable to complain about the old military doctor and Lincoln's talent for naming, was stunned for a moment, and then realized which "teammate" "Samael" was. Hearing that this cauliflower snake, which was nothing special, had changed, was also changed, and Chu Dong immediately became excited.
Under Lincoln's leadership, Chu Dong and others went straight to a corner of the fourth-floor lobby and met the old military doctor waiting there, and "Samael" who had never been exposed since he was thrown into this building.
"This, this is..."
“So beautiful…”
As soon as they saw the "Samael" who had some kind of evolution, everyone immediately opened their eyes in surprise and could no longer move their eyes away.
This does not mean that "Samael" evolved from an ordinary cauliflower snake into a beautiful snake or even Medusa. Even if there are humans, they should have "evolved" from humans, rather than from real beasts.
In fact, the reason why Chu Dong and others couldn't help but exclaim was because "Samael" had changed from an ordinary snake with a gray and black alternating between blue and gray and black to a mercury snake with a metallic luster on the surface!
Unexpectedly, Chu Dong, who had never expected that the snake would "evolve" from a living creature to a non-biological creature, resisted the desire to shout "this unscientific", and asked Lincoln and the old military doctor in great surprise:
"It seems to be the luster of mercury? What did you feed it?"
"It's just two thick hams. It was very reluctant to eat them at that time. Could it be that our Chinese preservatives are so strong?"
Lincoln spread his hands to show his innocence. Perhaps the snake ate something randomly after being thrown here, but the bigger thing is that it has nothing to do with the food it eats, unless some evolutionary or mutant plants can produce unscientific things such as "devil fruit".
After removing the food factors that Chu Dong himself thought were unlikely, it can be basically determined that not only humans, but also surviving animals can also produce various strange superpowers. If it turns into mercury, it is also a superpower, for humans, I really don’t know whether it is a good or a bad thing.
"By the way, is this snake... a male or a female snake?"
Thinking of superpowers, Chu Dong's thinking immediately jumped to the sexual genes that might be evolution unlocking the password. His questions made everyone stunned, and then a little expectation appeared in the eyes of several male players.
"This snake is a female snake."
It is very regrettable that the men's expectations were broken by the old military doctor the next second. Although Chu Dong was a little disappointed, this result was very consistent with his "sex gene evolution code" theory. He had actually guessed the answer before asking the question.
"It's true..."
"But since it's a female snake, why is it named 'Samael'?"
Hearing that it was a female snake, Chu Dong pondered for a while and had not spoken yet. Nie Chenxing next to him suddenly interjected this sentence, which made everyone look embarrassed and several black lines were drawn on his forehead.
"I didn't know about male and female when I was naming, and angels were originally genderless, so they could do it either as male or female..."
Lincoln explained the rationality of the cool name "Samael" to Nie Chenxing very seriously, but Chu Dong immediately waved his hand hard and interrupted the completely irrelevant conversation between Lincoln and Nie Chenxing.
"The name is just a code name, it doesn't matter what you call it! The issue you should pay more attention to is that perhaps only female creatures can obtain superpowers.
——Of course, we cannot be sure that male creatures will never be able to obtain superpowers, so don’t be discouraged by it.”
Chu Dong simply comforted the male team members who felt lost because of their bright future, then turned to the old military doctor and asked very seriously:
"Old man, can you still control this snake now? If you don't say it is completely obedient, at least you must ensure that it will not attack us.
In addition, has the snake become mercury inside and outside the body? So will it cause us to get mercury poisoning? What should we eat if it is hungry? Ordinary food or mercury?"
Although Chu Dong asked a series of questions, he did not expect the old military doctor to answer them all. In fact, it would be enough to make sure that the snake would not attack them, and other questions were secondary.
"This...in general, animals will not easily be rebellious as long as they are tamed.
Even if this snake is surrounded by so many of us, it has not escaped or made an attacking gesture. Then it can be considered that it is already very familiar with humans and will no longer attack people easily, even if it is accidentally stepped on or beaten.
We cannot determine other issues for the time being, and we still have to observe them for a while. Although mercury poisoning is not impossible, we don’t have to worry as long as we don’t let it touch the skin and don’t get close to it.
