<h4>Chapter 713: Try The Mutated Animal</h4>
<strong>Trantor: </strong>Henyee Trantions <strong>Editor: </strong>Henyee Trantions
After giving her virus to Bowwow, Lin Qiao turned to look at ck, who was hiding behind the cabin, sticking its head out from behind the cabin to look at her. ck was huge, so Lin Qiao spent a while thinking about how to give it a bath.
It was such arge snake. Should she dig a pond for it?
She nced at her finger. The little wound on that finger had healed already. She wondered if her virus would be effective one mutated animals as well. Reasonably speaking, those animals mutated because the zombie virus had invaded their bodies. She couldn’t tell if her virus would make any differences to mutated animals if she reced the zombie virus with hers. Unlike theke water from her space, her virus didn’t have a purifying power.
She thought for a moment, then refilled the bucket with cleanke water. Next, she took out the virus that Leng Xuantong developed with her blood and poured it into the water. After that, she brought a roe deer out of her space and tied its neck with the vine that Viney left in the space.
“Lili, Yun Meng, pour some water from the bucket into the roe deer’s mouth.” Holding the vine, Lin Qiao said to Qiu Lili and Yun Meng, who was standing beside her and watching. Those two girls had no works to do anyway.
“Eh? Alright,” Qiu Lili paused briefly, then turned and found a waterdle, fetching half adle of water from the bucket. Meanwhile, Yun Meng violently pressed the roe deer down to the ground, then held it tight to stop it from struggling.
Qiu Lili squatted before the roe deer’s head. Lin Qiao squatted as well and forced the roe deer mouth to open. Only after that did Qiu Lili pour the water into its mouth.
The roe deer struggled at first, but soon quieted down. Most of the zombies suffered pain for fifteen minutes to half an hour when they epted Lin Qiao’s virus, but unlike them, the roe deer’s suffering ended quickly.
“Eh? So soon?” Yun Meng said with surprise.
Lin Qiao and Qiu Lili were both surprised too, looking at the roe deer which was lying quietly on the ground. Lin Qiao was able to see her virus devouring the energy from the zombie virus inside the roe deer’s body. Her virus was spreading inside it from the head.
“What will happen? Big Sister, I think you should give this work to the scientist who joined us recently,” Yun Meng spent a while looking at the roe deer which was lying motionlessly on the ground, then raised her head to talk to Lin Qiao.
“Em, this will be his work in the future. I just suddenly came up with this idea. I was going to try it on ck, but then I figured that I should first try it on some other mutated animals. After all, mutated animals aren’t the same as zombies,” Lin Qiao nodded and responded.
Apart from the zombie virus, Leng Xuantong had also been studying Lin Qiao’s and Lin Kui’s blood. Lin Qiao also asked him to study the energy from theke.
With theke water, the farming work in All Beings Base would undoubtedly go much better than that in the other bases. Theke water from Lin Qiao’s space was able to purify the virus carried by mutated animals and make them edible for humans. However, it couldn’t weaken those strong mutated animals.
ck was actually edible for humans already!
With that thought, Lin Qiao raised her head and nced at ck, who was coiling on the roof of the cabin.
That nce frightened ck for some reason. The snake instantly shrank and hid its body behind the cabin, only leaving its head outside so that it could see.
Lin Qiao nned to tell Lin Feng to hunt some mutated animals after the New Year when he and his people left the base to collect supplies. A lot of mutated animals could be found in the zoo area.
Soon, the roe deer started moving. As same as Bowwow, it sprung up from the ground and theny back down. Its bones bulged and then shrank, as if the roe deer was going through some kind of shapeshifting.
“It’s happening,” Qiu Lili looked at the roe deer curiously, her eyes glowing.
The roe deery on the ground as it let out weird screams. Its entire body was twitching in a strange way while its bones were moving under its skin. Back in the old world, that would be a pretty scary scene; but in the post-apocalyptic era, it would scare no one. What could be even more terrifying than zombies, mutated nts, and animals?
Some drastic changes were happening inside the roe deer’s body. The roe deer’s appearance remained the same, and it soon struggled up from the ground. Its eyes had turned purely ck, and teeth seemed to be sharper than before. Its fur stayed in the same color, and no wounds could be found on its body. However, its vibe had changed thoroughly.
It had turned into a zombie beast!
The zombie roe deer shambled slightly before it could stand firmly. Then, it reared up its head to look at Lin Qiao. Its round,rge eyes had a life-less, deep ck color. But asionally, traces of wits could be found in those eyes.
“Eh?” Lin Qiao stood up and looked at the roe deer, which was taller than her waist. “It turned into a zombie beast, but seems to be a little different from Bowwow,” she said confusedly.
Then, she nced at ck, who was saying on the cabin roof, as she sighed and continued, “My virus is too strong. A living animal is turned into a zombie beast just like that.”
Normally, a mutated animal would not turn into a zombie beast after being bitten by one, because the virus inside their bodies had given them immunity.
The roe deer stood gawkily before Lin Qiao as it looked at her, then looked around itself, and then turned back to her. Its ears pped from time to time. A short whileter, as Lin Qiao made no movement, the roe deer moved close to her with curiosity, reaching its nose forward and sniffing at her.
“Em? I think… it looks so much like the silly roe deers that I saw from TV before! It seems gawky, also curious about anything!” Yun Meng put her arms before her chest as she rested her chin on one palm while curiously observing the zombie roe deer.
Lin Qiao and Qiu Lili both nodded.
The roe deer did seem a little silly!
The roe deer sniffed around Lin Qiao, then turned to Qiu Lili who was standing beside the former.
Qiu Lili took a step backward, because she didn’t want the roe deer to get close to her. However, the roe deer moved forward and followed her. Qiu Lili automatically made two more steps backward. Following her movement, the roe deer, which had be a zombie beast, also regained its silly nature, instantly making two steps forward.
Lin Qiao and Yun Meng watched that andughed. “Why did it be more like a silly roe deer after it turned into a zombie beast?”
No upgrade? Could that be counted as an evolution? Maybe not. Was that a second-time mutation caused by a different kind of virus?
Lin Qiao wasn’t sure which level that roe deer was at.
“Roar!” All of a sudden, the zombie dog pounced on the roe deer while uttering a roar.
The roe deer was pressed to the ground by Bowwow before it could even react. The dog pressed its paws heavily on the roe deer, which wasrger than itself. Meanwhile, the roe deer’s head was already in the dog’s mouth.
Crack! Along with the noise, the roe deer’s skull was crushed by the dog’s teeth.
That sudden twist stunned Lin Qiao and the others. “What… is this?” Lin Qiao murmured with confusion.
