Ancient Gene [End Times]

After breakfast, Qin An took the initiative to go out to explore the prepared route. This time the relocation was not an action of a few people. Any danger would cause loss of life, so he had to be prepared in his heart.

The team is about to set off in the afternoon, and it is really necessary to explore the way in advance.

Ke Chenguang is responsible for arranging the people here to continue preparations, and He Siming, as the current core point, must stay here at any time and contact the army.Qin An can not only make the people here trust and feel at ease, but also has the best physical fitness besides the soldiers.

A soldier gave Qin An his wooden warehouse.For someone like him who hasn't even touched a high imitation, unless it's close range, it's really useless to hold a wooden warehouse.

Before the trip, Qin An tied up his trouser legs with cloth strips, and confirmed the route with He Siming again.

Just in case, three routes are prepared.The nearest one needs to cross a commercial street.At the end of this street, there is a flower, bird, fish and insect shop. According to the locals' knowledge, it also sells some small pets such as chinchillas.The risk factor is not high, but the possibility of other accidents cannot be ruled out.

In this exploration, here is the key object of exploration.

Qin An is not an arrogant person. The expedition team this time is composed of three special forces and four ordinary people including Qin An.He consciously obeyed the special forces' arrangement, stood in the middle, and used his dominant ears to detect dangers that might appear nearby at any time.

Less than half an hour after walking out, Qin An heard a slight movement in his ears.As soon as he made a sound, everyone in the team stopped.Qin An took two steps forward, concentrating on his ears, when suddenly a tragic bird song shook his eardrums.

There was a messy sound from the grass close to two meters on the side of the road. A few seconds later, a giant blue cat with a height of nearly two meters jumped out, holding a colorful mutant parrot in its mouth.

Qin An squinted his eyes and stopped the soldiers who were about to open the wooden warehouse: "Wait a minute! It shouldn't attack people."

Everyone took a few steps back, and the leading soldier asked, "How do you know!"

"I have met a mutant cat before. It will not attack humans, and it will catch prey back for its owner. The eyes of that cat are normal. You know, those animals that eat people have red eyes. Look at this It’s just that the eyes are normal, and they didn’t come straight to us. Let’s look again, if it’s from the human side, killing them will mean losing a lot of help.”

What Qin An said made sense, and the others stepped back a bit, staring at the blue cat intently, still fully on guard.

The blue cat also heard the sound from this side. It tilted its head and looked at them with the mutated parrot in its mouth. After staring at each other for a while, it actually lay down in the middle of the road.Regardless of Qin An and the others, they put the killed mutated parrot on the ground and played with it with its paws.

A group of people is not moving, nor is it not moving.Obviously this blue cat has no intention of attacking people, but it does not mean that it welcomes people to approach.

After a stalemate like this for nearly 10 minutes, the blue cat grabbed the dead parrot and jumped up and down. The group of people seemed to be watching a VR version of a giant-screen movie.

The blue cat seemed to have had enough, bit off the limp head of the parrot, and began to eat with gusto.

Everyone in the group swallowed, and it was not difficult to imagine what it would be like to be bitten by such sharp teeth.

After waiting for the cat to finish eating, he didn't leave. He lay down on the ground with his belly exposed, and snored comfortably.

This is the middle of the road, and it seems that we can only make a detour.

Qin An had a bold idea, looked at the people around him, motioned them to stand still, and walked towards the blue cat in a few steps.

"Qin An!" A soldier frowned.

Qin An turned around and smiled at him, expressing that he was fine.His body has mutated, and no matter how bad he is, he can protect himself.Just seeing that this cat is not hostile, but I don't know where the owner is. If the owner is gone, maybe he can take it for his own use.

Walking slowly, the blue cat also heard Qin An's movements, tilted its head to watch Qin An walk past, and stretched out its paw to touch Qin An.

To Qin An, the cat's paws were close to the size of a washbasin. Although the cat only touched it lightly, it touched Qin An's body with great force.

Qin An stretched out his hand and pressed hard on the pads on the blue cat's paws. The blue cat didn't stick out its nails, obviously not hostile.

Qin An pressed hard, which was more like a gentle rub to the blue cat, making it itchy, and retracted his paws.

Qin An walked over again, and the cat rolled on the ground.

There were several colored feathers of mutated parrots under Qin An's feet. Qin An told himself to pay attention to the blue cat's attack power and be prepared to run away at any time. The cat's face approached Qin An, looking at him curiously.

Qin An squatted down, reached for Blue Cat's chin, and rubbed it vigorously.

Apparently, the blue cat liked this kind of action very much. It narrowed its eyes comfortably and purred louder.

Qin An became more courageous, and leaned forward with his whole body, smoothing the blue cat's fur vigorously with his arms. It felt like holding a huge doll.

While enjoying it, the blue cat stretched out the hair on its neck to Qin An, asking him to help smooth the hair on its neck.For cats, the fur around the neck cannot be licked and cleaned. Similarly, the top of the head and chin, so these places like to be touched by people.

Qin An used to raise cats online for a while, so he is very clear about this.

The cat was very comfortable to be touched, and the fur of the cat felt very good, and Qin An was also very satisfied with stroking the cat.

Just like that, what was supposed to be a confrontation that was close to being on the verge of daggers was turned into a gigantic cat-sucking scene by Qin An.

Qin An's body has mutated, and he is very sensitive to the hostility of living things.He didn't feel the attack power of the blue cat, so he was basically sure that the cat wasn't a threat.

"It's okay, let's go, this cat probably doesn't attack people."

Several soldiers kept watching the situation from the wooden warehouse, fearing that Qin An would be in danger so that they could kill him with one blow, but they saw that Qin An and the cat got along quite well.

"It's still too dangerous, let's go ahead."

Qin An nodded, rubbed the cat's cheeks with some reluctance, and walked around the blue cat.

Others also cautiously walked around the cat, during which the blue cat flicked its tail and almost drew someone.

They all bypassed the cat and continued to walk forward, and heard a slightly lingering "meow" behind them.Qin An turned his head and saw the blue cat lying on the ground, looking at him with resentful eyes.

Qin An, who was already a bit fuzzy, felt brittle.

Touching his body, He Siming specially packed a few chicken legs for him before leaving.Because after the mutation, although the ability has improved, the corresponding physical exertion has also increased.These few chicken legs are used to replenish his physical strength at any time.

The chicken leg was frozen meat from before, and it wasn't that big. Qin An walked up to the cat and handed a chicken leg over.

The cat has not eaten food with traces of civilization for several days, whether it is cat food or cat food made by the owner.

Smelling the familiar smell, the cat took two greedy bites, then bit the chicken leg into its mouth and ate it unceremoniously.

Then Qin An fed several chicken legs to the blue cat, and the blue cat rolled on the ground happily and continued to ask Qin An.Qin An handed the empty lunch box to the blue cat, and the blue cat licked up the soup inside, groaning in disappointment.

Hey, hey, it shouldn't be a threat at all.The group continued to walk forward.

The blue cat followed behind for a while, making sure that there was really nothing to eat, and Qin An didn't plan to touch it anymore, turned around and jumped a few times before disappearing.

With this episode, the mood of the group is much better, and the tense emotions are also relieved.

Qin An and He Siming talked on the walkie-talkie to confirm their safety. About half an hour later, the group of people approached the flower, bird, fish and insect shop marked on the map.

Ever since the animal mutated, the air seemed to be filled with a rancid smell.But near the flower and bird shop, the smell seems to be stronger.

The closer you get, the more eerie it feels.This is not something mysterious, it is just because the humidity around here is higher than other places, and the corresponding temperature is lower, so it creates a feeling of not being too hot.

"Did you hear anything?" a soldier asked.

Qin An shook his head: "There is almost no sound, at most it is the sound of some insects in the grass. Strange, there are at least birds in the flower and bird shop, even if they don't call, they always flap their wings, right?"

"That's weird." The soldier believed in Qin An's hearing. It would be too weird if there was really no sound at all.

But I haven't seen any danger in front of me, so I have to check it out.Otherwise, if something happens after everyone passes by, it will be too late.

The leading soldier asked a soldier to lead the others, and he himself had to take a soldier to the vicinity of the flower and bird shop or the door to see clearly.

"I'll accompany you." Qin An took two steps forward.

"You don't have enough reaction ability, it's very dangerous." What happened to the rabbit before made them wary, and they didn't want Qin An to take any more risks.

Qin An still used the old excuse: "I can detect the danger earlier than you, and I have a way to protect myself, don't worry."

Qin An took two quick steps, his sense of hearing and smell improved.When he focused on his nose, in addition to the rancid smell, Qin An also smelled a strong sour smell permeating deep within the rancid smell.

This sour smell is very pungent and unpleasant.

"It smells sour." Qin An whispered.

Anyone can smell the rancid smell in the air, but only Qin An can smell the sour smell.Although those two soldiers didn't have the nose like Qin An's, their experience was incomparable to Qin An's.

"Is it pungent?" asked the leading soldier.

Qin An nodded: "It smells very uncomfortable."

"It may be an acid corrosion substance. Be careful, especially the liquid." If there is a concentrated acid corrosion substance here, it may cause the animals to escape or be corroded.

As he approached the flower and bird shop, Qin An took two steps forward and was stopped by the soldiers. He looked in, and there were two highly corroded iron cages inside the glass door, and there were no traces of birds inside.On the contrary, the lush plants are very lush, as if someone is taking care of them.
