The End of the World: Mountain and Sea Disasters

Chapter 50 Flowers

The Forestry Bureau is a department under the Disaster Prevention Bureau.

If the reward can be converted, Yu Ke's bow and arrow will be settled.

After thinking for a while, An Saili agreed to help Yu Ke ask.

At 1:30 pm, the transport team arrived at the Small Garden Workstation smoothly.

During the handover of materials, Yu Ke asked Captain Zhao to check the body of the human-faced owl, and the latter agreed to it after briefly asking Station Chief He.

As a person who hunted human-faced owls twice, Yu Ke would have no problem checking his prey.

An Saili asked the members of the patrol team to stay outside to continue to protect the material transportation team, and he followed Yu Ke and Captain Zhao into the laboratory, and soon met He Zhili who was still guarding the workstation.

After greeting each other, He Zhili, who knew the purpose of Yu Ke and An Saili's visit, signaled his assistant to open the experimental cabin next to him.

Perhaps because of the previous accident, this time the experimental cabin has been obviously reinforced and equipped with many intelligent devices.

But what really caught Yu Ke's attention was the corpse of the human-faced owl that had mutated again.

It bloomed.

It was neither a metaphor nor a rhetorical device.

The corpse of the human-faced owl just bloomed.

From its head, wings to its huge body, every inch of its flesh and blood had bloomed with flowers that Yu Ke had never seen before, which could be called gorgeous.

They crowded together, petals overlapped petals, and the flower stems were also intertwined, as if they were competing for the few nutrients left in the flesh and blood.

The claws and fangs of the human-faced owl were covered.

But even so, Yu Ke still felt a chill in his heart when he saw this scene.

"When the human-faced owl was resurrected from the dead, it was infected by Pandora. We wanted to analyze how Pandora transformed life forms and brought them back to life by dissecting its corpse. However, as time went on, the changes in the corpse were beyond our expectations."

Looking at the corpse of the human-faced owl in the experimental cabin, even He Zhili was also confused.

Pandora's escape does not mean that the Little Garden Workstation will be shut down.

In fact, its ability to revive corpses for escape has attracted more widespread attention. After the video of the scene was sent to the Disaster Prevention Bureau, it received special attention from the top leaders, requiring the Little Garden Workstation to continue in-depth research.

There is no doubt that Pandora can "revive" the dead.

Even if the "resurrected" people are completely irrational and close to zombie-like existence, this is still the ability for the dead to move. If this strange ability can be stripped and purified, it may be possible to achieve a cross-era breakthrough in medicine.

Not to mention the Disaster Prevention Bureau, what are the reasons for those wealthy people to invest tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars every year to study longevity?

If they knew Pandora's ability, I'm afraid they would ask the poachers to go to the depths of the Mirror Lake Forest at all costs.

This is also one of the main reasons why the Disaster Prevention Bureau blocked the news.

"What are these flowers?"

An Saili looked at the "Human-faced Owl Sleeping in Flowers" in front of him and felt weird, and couldn't help asking.

"We have not yet found a flower species that matches it. It is likely to be a mutated variety. We now have two research directions. One is that Pandora brought the seeds of these flowers into the human-faced owl, and the other is that the flesh and blood of the human-faced owl was transformed into flowers."

"Perhaps the human-faced owl ate the seeds of these flowers when it was alive, and was ripened by Pandora after death, which led to this scene?"

"Impossible, you can see the reason by looking here."

He Zhili denied Ansai Li's guess and opened the experimental cabin next to it.

There were several human corpses infected by Pandora, all of which were covered with colorful flowers without exception!

The extremely strange scene made the two people who came to check the corpses fall into silence.

Yu Ke had a new understanding of the horror of Pandora.

Because the laboratory still had research tasks, the two did not stay too long.

Leave the workstation and return to the surface.

Ansai Li began to gather team members and turned to the human-faced owl's nest to find out why the human-faced owl was infected.

The yaks needed to be loaded with supplies and wounded soldiers, so they could only walk this time.

Fortunately, the nest of the human-faced owl was not too far from the workstation, and Yu Ke's watch still recorded the original route, so there was no saying that he got lost, but the situation along the way was a bit bad.

Not long after the cold wave ended, there were many hungry beasts in the depths of Jinghu Forest.

They wandered in the deep forest with fierce eyes, searching for meat to fill their howling stomachs.

The wild boar, like a meat mountain, broke through the fern group, crushed the ice and snow on the ground and charged. The two fangs were full of dark brown mottled bloodstains. Obviously, many creatures had fallen under the charge of this "tank".

It's a pity that they found the wrong opponent this time.

Yu Ke, who was walking at the front of the team, did not dodge, and raised his bow to shoot three times in a row.

Three arrows were shot into the wild boar's head in a triangular shape. Two arrows blinded its eyes, and the special explosive arrow in the middle shot into its head. With a dull explosion, red and white brains splattered all over the ground.

"Let's go. It's just in front. It's best to avoid this place when you return to the workstation later to avoid running into other predators."

This giant wild boar is the most common mutant creature in the depths of Jinghu Forest. It is not even a special individual that meets the requirements of the trophy. Yu Ke was too lazy to search for it. He marked the location on his watch and signaled others to follow.

The members of the patrol team did not react much to this kind of low-level monster. Only Ansai Li looked at the arrow that had penetrated its head and only a small part of it was left outside when he passed by the wild boar. His eyes fixed and he left as if nothing had happened.

Ten minutes later, everyone arrived at the nest of the human-faced owl.

"Pandora had been in captivity before escaping the workstation, and the human corpses that appeared outside the small garden workstation have been identified as the missing persons from the agricultural products outside Danhang City in recent times."

Ansai Li handed the tools needed for climbing trees to Yu Ke, and when the latter waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need them, he turned around and put them on himself.

"This means that the human-faced owl had actually been infected by Pandora a long time ago, and some preparations were being made to rescue it, but at that time it did not undergo the terrifying changes it did after death."

"How does Pandora communicate with the human-faced owl?"

After listening to Ansai Li's analysis, Yu Ke frowned and asked back.

The two are separated by the experimental cabin, and the workstation is still so far away. Looking at the appearance of the human-faced owl and Pandora, they don't look like the kind of people who can wear Bluetooth headphones. Why do they cooperate so well?

"That's why we're here today. I think Pandora can communicate with any infected creature. No, it should be said that it controls it. Its orders completely override the will of the controlled. We must find out how Pandora infected the human-faced owl!"

The patrol team has actually received the task of tracking down Pandora.

In Ansai Li's eyes, the human-faced owl's nest is the breakthrough point.
