poor road [end times]

Chapter 020 Zombie Turtle

The small park occupies a small area, and was originally used by real estate developers as a surrounding facility to attract people to buy houses.

At the beginning, Grandpa Feng chose this community because of the location and surrounding environment, especially the small park and basketball court just downstairs, which won his heart.

The door of the small park was open, and the three of Yang Yiqin walked in directly.

Nowadays, the small park has been left unattended for a long time, and after the baptism of the heavy rain, it has become less elegant than before.The bushes along the cobblestone road are mostly withered and yellow, the same is true for the grassland, and the flowers are basically all withered. Even the tall trees that shade the sun have many branches that are broken and dry.

Those plants that have not withered grow more wantonly than before, with messy branches and leaves, losing their carefully pruned shapes, and gradually revealing a pure feeling that is close to wildness.

The torrential rain seemed to bring both withering and life to them.

Like an elusive opportunity.

Before a crisis, no one walks in the park in the rain; after a crisis, parks are not a good place to hide.So there should be no zombies here.

Just as Yang Yiqin guessed, he looked into the park with a telescope just now, and he did not see any moving objects.However, despite this, the three of them did not dare to relax their vigilance at all.

In times of crisis, any carelessness may cost one's life.

In the small park where you can almost see the end at a glance, Yang Yiqin carefully observes every weird place.He took out his mobile phone that had been on standby before, turned it on, and took a few photos of the plants that were withering and growing.

Wang Che was puzzled: "Brother Yang, does your phone still have power?"

It has been a week since the outbreak of the apocalypse, and the embarrassment of water and power outages has also continued for a week.The three of them only had one power bank, but Yang Yiqin had the foresight to charge it up early.

Even so, the power was still not enough, and it didn't take long for the power to return to zero. Wang Che's mobile phone ran out of power and shut down automatically two days ago because he frequently wanted to contact his family.

"Because I contacted my parents before, considering various reasons, I turned off the phone to save power." Yang Yiqin explained, "You think, to solve the environmental and survival crisis in the current world, scientists must be involved, and the premise of solving the problem It is to find clues, and at this time we can take a picture casually, maybe it will come in handy."

Wang Che suddenly realized, and gave a thumbs up: "Brother Yang is awesome, the pattern has been established!"

"Haha." Yang Yiqin said happily, putting away the phone, "I don't know if it will be useful or not, so write it down first."

At this time, they had reached the depths of the small park.

Like all parks, although it is small, it cannot escape the three elements of the park-plants, rockery, and water.

The rockery and the artificial lake are connected together, only about a hundred square meters. The artificial lake is covered by the rockery and the guardrail, making the artificial lake just in the only blind spot of the telescope.There used to be some ornamental fish in the lake, and children often came to feed those yellow and white koi, watching them sway their plump bodies, rolling and grabbing food in the green lake.

Occasionally, creatures such as turtles float to the surface.

——It should have been like this.

Feng Lin, who was walking in the front, stopped at some point, and stretched out his hand to stop Yang Yiqin who was behind.

Wang Che in the rear was puzzled.

"what happened?"

Yang Yiqin was silent for two seconds: "It's hard to say."

Then he took out his phone again, and the camera pointed at the artificial lake not far away.

Wang Che was extremely curious, and walked past the two of them.

In the next moment, he also stood there in a daze.

Due to the heavy rain, the ground of the park was submerged, and the sediment in the artificial lake washed ashore with the current.After being exposed to the high temperature of 39 degrees, the accumulated water on the ground dried up quickly, leaving only traces of dry soil, which was dirty and ugly.

At this time, on the dry soil, there was a huge tortoise—a zombie tortoise.

To say that it is huge does not mean how huge its carapace is, which is staggering.On the contrary, its carapace can only be regarded as ordinary, about the size of an adult's palm.

But its body swelled infinitely as if it had mutated, and the exposed head and limbs were already the size of a human palm.And the carapace couldn't bear the huge body hidden inside, causing a lot of swollen and rotten flesh to squeeze out from the cracks in the carapace, and under the pressure, the joints were stuck together like mud.

The fishy smell of the lake and the stench of carrion mixed together to form a pungent smell, which was constantly emanating from the unknown object that should be called "Turtle".

Wang Che seemed to be choked by someone, and it took a long time before he managed to find his own voice: "This... this thing is still wriggling!"

Yang Yiqin: "That's right, it's moving."

The zombie tortoise's eyeballs were all scarlet in color, hanging from the eye sockets, feeling like they might fall off at any moment.It dragged its limbs lumberingly towards the direction of the lake, not even paying attention to the three people behind it, as if it only wanted to step into the lake as soon as possible.

Looking along the direction it was crawling, there was a layer of dead fish floating in the artificial lake that was originally rippling with vitality. The dark brown unknown liquid was mixed in the water, making it difficult for people to see the underwater situation clearly.But this does not affect the strange and huge zombie fish occasionally jumping out of the water, revealing fangs that should not belong to fish.

Feng Lin: "Piranhas."

Yang Yiqin shook his head: "Piranhas don't necessarily eat fish, they can only eat people, but zombie fish must eat them. It should be something that is engraved in their DNA to treat humans as food."

After speaking, he pulled out the 40-centimeter-long scimitar from his waist, took two steps forward, bent down and chopped off the turtle's head, and then stood calmly by the lake.

Feng Lin stood beside Yang Yiqin——

"Good news, they can't live without water."

Yang Yiqin smiled wryly: "Bad news, once aquatic animals are infected, it is very likely that the whole watershed will not be able to escape."

"There is really no way to escape. If they are all in the same lake, they will be infected sooner or later." Wang Che swallowed, "Why does this thing look like a biological invasion, the key is that it has become bigger and uglier! "

The zombie fish and zombie turtles in this pond are more than hideous, they have evolved crazily in a short period of time, and their size is not at the same level as before.

"In my opinion, this is another level of zombification." Yang Yiqin looked at the tumbling fish in the lake, "I can only hope that this kind of zombification only exists in aquatic animals."

If this zombified mutation appears in large mammals... or even just in zombie humans, it will cause a terrifying future that cannot be imagined.

"I don't understand." Wang Che was stunned, "We can think about the best, what if this body size is soaked in water? Isn't that what is commonly known as edema?"

Yang Yiqin didn't speak.

"No matter what, this is a new 'species'." Feng Lin said, "As long as a new 'species' appears, it will definitely cause damage to the ecological environment."

Thinking of the future, Wang Che waved his knife irritably: "Sure enough, even if it is an alien species, it is not native to our earth at all. I don't know if zombie fish can be eaten. If we can eat it, we will definitely eat it and exterminate it!"

"Don't underestimate alien species. No alien species is eaten to extinction, including crayfish." Yang Yiqin's face was serious. "Alien species did not flood and affect the ecology. You have to thank biologists for their efforts."

It will only be more difficult to eliminate zombie animals.
