887 The Evolution Of Mutated Insects (1/2)
In a couple of days, Lin Feng, Lin Wenwen, and their people returned to the base. They didn't have a rich harvest, and many of them were injured.
Lin Feng sat before Lin Qiao's desk and expressionlessly reported to the latter, ”The mutated plants out there are growing fast, and many mutated animals have gone crazy. They're twice as destructive as before.”
In the mountain areas, most of the mutated beasts were turned from wild animals, and in the urban areas, most of them were cats, dogs, and rats.
”Also, insects seemed to have reached another level. Many of them are poisonous now. We ran into poisonous insects a few times on our way.” Speaking of mutated insects, Lin Feng furrowed his brows.
”Mutated insects?” Lin Qiao wore a serious look as well.
”Yeah,” Lin Feng nodded and said, ”Currently, many insects are able to release poisonous gas that is hurtful for humans. Besides, some of them are huge.”
Lin Qiao could imagine how large those insects might be. After all, almost all mutated animals were huge. However, the ones that could release poisonous gas could be rather dangerous.
It seemed to be serious, or Lin Feng wouldn't mention it.
”Is it bad?” Lin Qiao looked at him and asked.
Lin Feng nodded and said, ”Before, the mutated insects never affected the environment, but now, they have affected the environment severely. They have made the air toxic. Humans and animals would be affected to different degrees if they inhale that toxic air. It is indeed not good.”
”They have affected the environment?” Lin Qiao was surprised.
That was bad. Because of the zombie virus, the environment had already become terrible. How come even mutated insects could make the environment worse? Countless kinds of insects existed in the world. So, the world would become an even more dangerous place, wouldn't it?
”We met poisonous insects six times on our way. Some of those insects affected a small area, and some large. The toxic reactions are different. For now, no one has died yet. But from now on, we should be extra careful out there,” Lin Feng sighed, sounding a little tired.
Lin Qiao glanced at him and said blandly, ”Even if these new problems didn't occur, we still need to be extra careful because of those zombies and mutated creatures. Now, it's just another level of danger. As same as before, the world is a dangerous place. All in all, we're lucky, as we only need to take precautions against natural dangers.”
Hearing what she said, Lin Feng thought briefly: she was right. Perhaps, he was excessively worried. After all, the harvest of his trip wasn't good, and many of his men got hurt. He was heavyhearted all the time.
”Alright, go home and rest,” Lin Qiao smiled at him.
After Lin Feng left, Lin Qiao asked Shen Yujen to bring Lin Wenwen and Long Qingying to her office.
”This time, Leng Xuantong is going to Lake Tai. You two go with him. You need to take a long trip and learn how that feels. The main force will be Sea City Base people. But, for your safety, I'll send people to protect you in secret,” Lin Qiao looked at the two girls and said.
She planned on sending Lin Kui and two level-six zombies to secretly follow Lin Wenwen and the others. The three zombies wouldn't make any move unless Lin Wenwen and her people were in danger.
Lin Wenwen looked at Lin Qiao and said, ”It's not really a long trip. The lake is only about a hundred miles from here.”
Long Qingying wore no expression.
