Chapter 168 The World Has Changed
Chapter 168 The World Has Changed
Crows, countless crows circled in the sky above the small manor, blocking out the sunlight.
They flew through the gaps in the fence into the manor, snatched up the nine-tasseled rabbits that were playing outside, and tore them apart in mid-air.
Countless crows landed on the manor and the statue of the Virgin Mary, their heads tilted and their red eyes gleaming with an eerie light.
Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of those inside the villa, who rushed out and stared in shock at the sky.
Ling pushed You Wenwen into the cabin: "Stay inside and don't come out!"
She closed the door, immediately walked down the steps, and activated the Snow Thorns.
The white thorns, like large nets, trapped the crows within them. Then the nets tightened, and the sharp thorns pierced the crows' bodies.
Black blood stained the thorns with the force of gravity.
Yan Shuzhou immediately electrified the fence, leaving every crow that touched it half-dead from the shock.
Ji Yuanzhou used lightning to kill the crows that tried to surround him.
Tu Hao tore them apart with his wolf claws, but frowned when he looked at the corpses on the ground.
"...Not human?"
On the big tree, Lady White Snake, who had been resting there, slowly sat up and flicked her long tail, killing a flock of crows.
Its pure white body stood tall, its forked tongue hissing, and its massive head displayed a speed completely disproportionate to its size, snapping up several crows in one bite and swallowing them whole.
They cried out mournfully.
Miao Yin stood in the open space, silently gazing at the disaster.
The bloodthirsty crows seemed to have finally found a way out, and they all flew towards the seemingly lone human, circling around her and dropping their black feathers.
"Gah! Gah!" they cried out mournfully.
"Ah Yin!"
Miao Yin was woken up by Ling.
When she came to her senses, she saw Ling's terrified eyes.
The pain finally came, and when Miao Yin raised her hand, a little crow was nibbling at her palm.
It ate with relish, its mouth dripping with blood.
Miao Yin grabbed it, and the little crow flapped its wings and cried out in pain.
With a clench of her fist, she crushed the little crow to death in her hand, black blood dripping down.
Miao Yin stared at its unseeing eyes, her voice devoid of any emotion: "I had only just begun to learn a little about the truth of the origins of the apocalypse when you arrived."
Countless black crows surrounded her. Miao Yin raised her head, and the molten fire exploded outwards from her, instantly burning all the crows to ashes!
The flames deftly passed through the gaps, avoiding the fence, and the crows that were still trying to invade the small manor had no time to escape and were also wiped out.
Seeing that the crisis had passed, Ling quickly called You Wenwen out and took her to treat Miao Yin's injuries.
Yu Wenwen treated her with red eyes, and the emerald green light healed Miao Yin's wounds.
"Ayin, what are you doing?" Ling's tone was somewhat exasperated.
God knows her heart skipped a beat when she saw the crow bite through the other person's hand.
"Sister, are you alright?" Yan Shuzhou looked at the blood on her clothes with heartache.
"The world has changed."
Miao Yin blurted out this sentence out of the blue.
"What?" Everyone looked at her in confusion.
"She's talking about this." Tu Hao suddenly appeared, carrying a crow's carcass, which he threw on the ground.
"This did not come from a human mutation."
Although mutant humans come in a variety of forms and can merge with all sorts of things, and in many cases even take on animal forms, they ultimately mutate from humans and cannot escape some of the characteristics of "humans".
Just like when Tu Hao was besieged at the gas station, the little rats born from those deformed people still looked like human heads.
But these crows?
No.
Absolutely not.
"They mutated from crows; the animals started to deform." Tu Hao dropped a bombshell.
Not a single survivor failed to understand what this meant.
"Was this within your foresight?" Tu Hao looked directly at Miao Yin.
"...What premonition?" Everyone looked confused.
Miao Yin stared at the crow's corpse, her pupils pitch black, revealing not a trace of its form.
"It was unexpected, but not that unexpected."
2022 8 Month 15 Day.
The animals developed deformities six months earlier than expected.
……
The timing of the disaster changed, which disrupted some of Miao Yin's plans.
She had previously inquired about Peng Si's situation and discovered that he had also returned to Mengcheng.
The ban on Chao Boyan was not triggered, indicating that the base had not yet set off for the weapons depot.
Then it's not too late.
She unfolded the map, found a location, and circled it.
Hangshan Zoo.
"Sister, are you going to the zoo?" Yan Shuzhou asked, sitting down next to her.
"Go and check the extent of the animal mutation."
Hangshan Zoo is the largest zoo in Jingzhou and is located in the ancient capital.
Built against the mountain, it was a grand affair when it opened twenty years ago, attracting countless tourists.
Twenty years have passed, and it remains a popular tourist attraction.
Ancient capitals are the capitals of a country, and thus have a large population and suffer the most severe distortions. Not to mention, they have many tourist attractions and receive a large number of visitors year-round.
After the apocalypse, some incredibly terrifying monsters emerged in the zoo.
The mutant humans possessed immense strength and, in their quest for food, smashed many cages that held animals.
The animals have escaped, roaming the zoo or hiding in the mountains and forests.
A year later, the mutation also befell the animals. The animals that survived from the mouths of the mutated humans became creatures just like them, even more ferocious.
An army was once attacked by several deformed tigers while passing through a zoo, resulting in heavy casualties.
Like the Hell Market, Hangshan Zoo is a forbidden area in the ancient capital.
There is no better place to confirm the extent of the animals' mutations.
If the animals have indeed undergone large-scale mutations like in their previous lives, she can kill them all and collect the crystal cores.
This will also prevent them from causing trouble later.
Miao Yin also thought of another thing, namely the Lone Wind White Moth.
Three months have passed since she provoked him, and only two weeks have passed since the silkworm emerged from its cocoon.
Would it really take that long for a mutant human fused with a silkworm to evolve?
Miao Yin remembered that the first time the Lone Wind White Moth appeared in the form of the Scarlet Catastrophe was in the second year of the apocalypse.
It happened to be the month when the animals underwent deformities.
She could no longer stay at the small manor.
If the other party really attacks and affects her home, wouldn't all the hard work she put into building her small manor be wasted?
Leaving now is the best option.
Everyone has been working hard to improve themselves during this period, and it's time to go out and see the results.
