  "Roar!"

  In the filthy ditch, a small package suddenly bulged out, and after the water flow broke, a bloody big mouth flew out from it, with sharp fangs, emitting a stench that made people feel dizzy.

  The burly man nearest the ditch, his muscular arm was immediately bitten by this strange mouth. His face changed and he growled: "Defend!"

  His arm muscles suddenly bulged, with blue veins standing out like a coiled dragon, the entire arm seemed to be congested with blood, turning bright red and hot, emitting heat.

  A surprising scene appeared.

  This mouth that could almost bite through steel, however, was unable to chomp down on his arm. The sharp teeth only barely pierced the skin, being firmly lodged in place by the steel-like muscle fibers.

  At this time, the five people finally saw the appearance of this monster, and it was covered with small scales as big as fingernails all over its body, belonging to the reptile class, with a crocodile-like head, a fish fin on its back, and emerald green eyeballs filled with cruelty and bloodthirstiness.

  Bang!

  Zhao Bingbings gun was still smoking, and the monster that had been biting the burly mans head suddenly exploded, its body falling straight down. Just as it was about to hit the water, the burly man quickly grabbed it with his swift hands.

  "Are you okay?" The young man in the bright red jacket hastily asked.

  The burly man shook his head, his arm had returned to its original state, leaving only two rows of small holes with sharp edges, from which blood was still flowing continuously.

  Zhao Bingbing walked over, pushing her glasses frame, with a faint blue glow flashing in her pupils. She calmly said: "The weaknesses of this monster are its skull, chest and heart, as well as the dorsal fin on its back. Its bone density and muscle strength should be about twice that of humans, its bite force is one ton, and there is a mild toxin on its teeth that needs to be disinfected as soon as possible. Otherwise, your arm will swell up to the size of your thigh in an hour."

  The burly man saw her finish reading the data on this strange creature, and casually tossed it aside, muttering: "Luckily my special ability is 【Defense】, which can instantly increase my bodys strength by a factor of two. If it were any of you, I reckon this arm would be gone."

  "If it were us, we wouldnt even get close to the water ditch."

  A burly man was taken aback for a moment, then blushed and rubbed his head.

  The younger of the twin brothers pulled out some disinfectant from his backpack, and under Zhao Bingbings bandaging and washing, they quickly bound up the wounds of the sturdy man with a bandage.

  "Its an inauspicious start, we havent even begun and already have a defeat." the sturdy man muttered.

  Zhao Bingbing patted his bandaged arm, completely disregarding the painful grimace on his face, and said indifferently: "This is just a low-level monster that has been squeezed out of the high-end biological chain, it can only lurk in the sewers, if youre careless again later, you might have to spend the rest of your life here."

  As she spoke, she turned around, pushed her glasses frame, and said in a low voice: "Follow me closely, there is a faint smell of blood in the air, we must speed up."

  The four of them looked serious and immediately followed her footsteps closely.

  A few minutes after several people moved forward, Zhao Bingbing suddenly stopped. In front of them, at the corner of a ditch, was a huge black shadow, which looked like an alligator-like reptile from its outline, with a body size twice that of an adult alligator.

  Zhao Bingbings eyes flashed with a faint blue light, scanning towards the black figure. Suddenly, her expression slightly stunned, then ignoring the follow-up of several people behind her, she quickly ran towards the black figure.

  Several burly men were shocked in their hearts. Zhao Bingbings physique was not strong, and if she fought with the monster at close range, she would easily get hurt.

  When several people caught up, they immediately borrowed the weak flashlight to see clearly the appearance of this black monster. However, what shocked several people was that this monster had... died?

  The appearance of this monster is the same as that of the gutter monster just now, only several times larger in volume. At this moment, it is lying on the passageway by the side of the gutter, with a large amount of foul-smelling fresh blood flowing from its abdomen, and its skull completely blown open, with brain matter splashing onto the wall cables.

  "This..."

  "Was it killed by some other monster?"

  Four sturdy men looked around cautiously.

  At this time, Zhao Bingbing suddenly bent down and pulled out a plastic bag from her pocket, put it on her hand, and reached into the bloody skull to search. A moment later, she withdrew her slender hand, with her index finger and thumb pinching a black bullet.

  "Killed by someone!"

  The four young men in bright red jackets saw the bullet and immediately cried out in surprise.

  Zhao Bingbings eyes gleamed with a faint blue light as she spoke in a low voice, "This is the bullet. Judging from its position and the creatures body temperature, it died less than half an hour ago. In other words, someone entered before us by half an hour, taking this same route. And judging from the surroundings...this creature didnt struggle much. This shot hit the fatal point in its skull, killing it instantly, without even giving it a chance to twitch..."

  The young man in the bright red jacket stared blankly and said, "Half an hour ago? How is that possible? At that time, I was observing this place with binoculars, and its absolutely impossible for someone to slip in under my nose!"

  "What if its an Evolver like us?" Zhao Bingbing stared at him.

  The young man in the bright red jacket was stunned.

  Zhao Bingbing casually threw away the bullet and said indifferently, "This persons special ability is likely to be invisibility or digging into the ground, which is why they can avoid your detection. Moreover, he is a skilled shooter and knows the weaknesses of this monster. Im thinking that perhaps he is also someone who has evolved their vision like me."

  "How is this possible!" The burly man exclaimed in shock: "Can one person possess two special abilities?"

  "I dont know, from a genetic point of view, its impossible, but now that such an unimaginable virus has appeared, and the emergence of an evolved being with two abilities is not necessarily impossible." Zhao Bing said calmly.

  "Whats this guy doing here, did he find that little thing like us?" The young man in the bright red jacket frowned, if so, it would add another strong competitor.

  Zhao Bing shook her head and said, "The probability is very low, probably around 12.8%. That walking grass has been tracking me all along. If this person has the ability to hide, I should be able to detect it. So, its likely that he came here for another purpose. As for what it is, Im guessing it might have something to do with the monsters here. Perhaps theres something on these monsters bodies thats worth his attention, and this thing is probably related to evolution."

  If Lin Chao were here, he would definitely be amazed by this womans intelligence, almost guessing everything correctly.

  "Evolution?" The young man in the bright red jackets eyes flashed with light, and he said: "So to say, there are things on these monsters that can cause us to evolve again? Can you sense what it is?"

  Zhao Bingbings gaze swept over the crawling monster and said, "I dont know, at least this monster doesnt have any signs of being dissected, so everything is my speculation. However, I think its better not to get close to this person, I feel that he...is very dangerous!"

  The young man in the bright red jacket smiled and said: "Even if hes extremely powerful, hes still just one person. We have five people, three of whom are ability users, plus firearms - no matter how powerful he is, hell still end up dead."

  Zhao Bingbing looked straight at him and said: "I dont want to make things complicated, being able to capture that Road Walker Grass is already enough for us to establish our power in the army."

  The young man in the bright red jacket looked at her with a cold gaze, and could only let out a light breath, bitterly smiling: "Alright, Ill listen to you."

  ……

  Lin Chao crawled out of the sewer.

  According to the map in my memory, this should be the Herbivore Activity Zone of the zoo.

  However, herbivores infected with the virus will mutate into carnivorous creatures. Lin Chao chose this place mainly because these herbivores were relatively weak at first.

  His goal was to obtain the "gene energy" within them, which, although not as effective as the evolutionary energy in special corpses, had the advantage of being abundant, with almost every variant creature having some amount of "gene energy" within their bodies.

  As far as the eye can see, a vast expanse of grassland and forest.

  In the woods, some active figures can be vaguely seen. Lin Chao said to Huang Jindou: "You wait for me here."

  The golden dog licked his shoes obediently and nodded repeatedly, indicating that he could rest assured.

  Lin Chao patted the dogs head, then tied a miniature bomb around its neck and whispered, "If you try to run away, this bomb will go off with a bang and blow your brains out."

  The golden dog immediately stiffened its body, and the tongue that was sticking out didnt dare to move. It looked at Lin Chao with a pitiful expression, blinking its eyes grievously.

  Lin Chao smiled and patted its head, then controlled the light to hide his body and felt his way towards that piece of forest.
