Planted

Centaurs are a special race that extends from ancient Western mythology to modern fantasy stories, consisting of upper body humans and lower body horses.

The idle foreigner spent a lot of effort, from anatomy to biology, and even theology and ethics, perfecting this fictional creature in all aspects.

In the past, Tom would have thought that half human and half beast things were all fictional creatures. But after experiencing a miniature cataclysm, the person has become 7 centimeters in size, and after being baptized by supernatural powers, his thick nerves can no longer handle many things beyond common sense.

The mutated individuals with green skin and those with brown skin like Zhang Meng seem to differ not only in terms of skin color, but also in terms of body shape and behavior style, making them appear more... barbaric,

The first time I saw an upper body mutant, the lower body cockroach thing made him slightly stunned, and then he threw it casually, and the steel needle nailed the monster to the ground.

So when facing a taller, half human, half mouse monster, he had completely ignored the singularity of the other person and focused on how to solve it in the fastest time.

At least half of a centaur's limbs and body, and half of a person's upper body. The mutated person in front of me seems to have grown from the head of a mouse, which can be considered as having two heads and four eyes. Paired with the limbs of a mouse and the strong and powerful arms of the mutant, Tom suddenly realized that his two fists were unbeatable with four... six hands.

But now he is different from before, holding a shapely large sword with a shield sword in his hand. He lifted it horizontally and blocked the bone spear thrown by the Rat Man.

This bone spear is very powerful. If it weren't for the shield sword tremor, it would be enough to break it in one go.

At the next moment, he roared and forcefully chopped down. The careless half rat man attempted to block the arm wrapped in the exposed bone, but was cut open by the arm and throat, with blood gushing out.

The half rat man screamed in his ear, and Tom's big knife dragged and slapped it down, causing the rat's head to grab the ground and let out a mournful cry. Then he raised his big knife again and chopped it in half, cleanly splitting its head.

"Let's go!" He waved his hand, and Prince Xiong jumped up and landed steadily in front of him. Together, he dragged the half rat into the cabin door. Behind them, more half rodents, half cockroaches, and mice and cockroaches swarmed in.

The accelerator of the ark roared, galloping like a wild horse. The pursuers did not give up and followed closely behind. The heavy machine guns and cannons on the car kept firing, and some people leaned out of the window to shoot, sweeping away any enemies who occasionally jumped onto the car.

Then the three pipes behind the car left gasoline and ignited flames. The three long tongues of fire dragged along, causing the mutant creatures that were being chased up to cry and howl, gradually unable to keep up.

Half an hour later, the ark docked in the backyard of a bank, and the security work proceeded in an orderly manner. And Tom and others gathered in the combat conference room to review and reflect on the attack just now.

As the starting point of the attack, Xia Yousheng's team was the first to come into contact with the mutants on the second floor. At that time, he was stabbed in the abdomen with a bone sword by the female survivor who pretended to be a victim, and was seriously injured. After being sent back to the Ark Medical Department, he quickly received treatment and was out of danger to his life.

As Pan Ruyi, who stood with Xia Yousheng at the time, naturally became the first person to provide a report. He detailed the process of discovering survivors and described Xia Yousheng's steady progress in commanding the team, and then the entire process of escaping when attacked.

Subsequently, Shen Jiayi dragged him into her spiritual world, where he recalled the entire memory. The attendees watched the entire process in her spiritual world.

The reason why it is necessary to first submit a written report before entering the mental world to reproduce memory is Tom's request. Not every report after an action has the help of super brain awakeners like Shen Jiayi to reproduce memory. He believes that as an action person, one cannot rely solely on this means of memory reproduction. He also needs to cultivate the habit of constantly recalling events and summarizing and analyzing problems encountered. This kind of experience is anytime and anywhere, especially when exploring battles outside, the precious super brain awakener is not suitable for accompanying.

The Chief of Staff of the Ark, Liu Lian, ultimately concluded that these green skinned mutants were not specifically targeted for ambush. It is highly likely that their patrol personnel discovered Xia Yousheng's convoy, which led to the temporary deployment of ambushes. At the same time, using survivors to further delay Xia Yousheng's footsteps and buy more time for assembling the army.

Tom, Xia Yousheng, and others who escaped from Zhang Meng's camp are no strangers to the mutants, but the group of mutants we encountered today mutated even more thoroughly than Zhang Meng and his team.

The researchers in the ark conducted a series of experiments on the bone spurs taken from Xia Yousheng's abdomen, proving that their hardness is comparable to that of steel and exceptionally hard.

Tom had a very familiar feeling when he started, and upon careful reflection, he believed that this thing was very similar to the bone spurs he had been stabbed by the purple rose in Longyao's home, so he suspected that these were also the forces of the Darwin Order or the Tianxuan Society.

The half human mouse that had its head chopped open and died was dragged back to the ark by Tom, and Lin Meiqi and others were extremely excited to dissect it. At the report meeting, an astonishing discovery was made.

Shen Jiayi recruited many senior talents from Morikawa City, including doctors in medicine and biology, after the micro disaster. These people are also an important list for Lin Meiqi's development and escape. Many experts and scholars chose to trust Lin Meiqi and Shen Jiayi, so they successfully withdrew to the ark.

Lin Meiqi is not very specialized in biology, but there are only three experts in the anatomy team who have made very thorough discoveries about these fresh mutated organisms.

The upper body of a half mouse person starts from the abdominal cavity and rises upwards, while its upper organs such as the heart are maintained by the lower mouse body. Starting from the cells at these junction sites, Professor Chen Nianxin gave a bold inference.

The mutated person on this half mouse person is likely to have been "planted" on the top of the mouse's head, and then underwent secondary mutations together, ultimately resulting in this appearance.

Of course, this is just a preliminary conclusion. When Lin Meiqi submitted the report at the summary meeting, he himself was still immersed in the anatomy laboratory and continued to make friends with the half mouse.

After reviewing the individual's response to the attack, Tom requested that the ark be on full alert, rotating three shifts 24 hours a day, and the bridge be constantly monitored for the status of various sensors. Later, they discussed with Shen Jiayi about the next destination of the ark, which would be less crowded.

When the micro disaster occurred at 2:30 am, most people in the city rested in their accommodation areas, such as commercial residential areas, hotels, etc., which were the most densely populated areas. Like the building materials street where they were attacked just now, those buildings are all first floor shops for rent, and it's no wonder there are so many mutants.

Shen Jiayi unfolded the map of Morikawa City in the spiritual world, first locking in the current position of the Ark, and then searching around. The two of them quickly landed at the same location: the Gate of Morikawa World.

This is an artificial theme park that integrates world wonders, historical relics, ancient and modern scenic spots, and folk song and dance performances. Each scenic spot in the park is modeled after world-renowned buildings in different proportions.

This park covers a huge area, but when the micro disaster occurred, most of the staff went back to their dormitories and homes to sleep, making the park a relatively sparsely populated area. With fewer people, there are fewer mutated creatures. For an Ark that is relatively abundant in resources, it is a good place to temporarily hide and climb technology to enhance strength.

After determining the target, Shen Jiayi needs to start planning the route and avoid crowded areas as much as possible according to the map, and plan supply points. Tom ran out to inspect the security monitoring of various parts of the ark and check the maintenance progress of military equipment.

Tom didn't sleep well that night, and many damaged parts of the ark were also repaired under overtime. He repaired them alone on the 18th floor for three hours. After it was light, Lin Meiqi personally ran to catch him and forced him to go to the restaurant for breakfast.

Today's breakfast was very rich. Tom asked the chef, Zhou Guangrong, to make deep-fried dough sticks himself. It was very comfortable to eat it with finely ground hot soybean milk.

Zhou Guangrong's ability in the old medical camp is to control fire. If it weren't for his mobility, he would definitely be the main force in the second tier of combat. But there is also a place for him to play when he cannot go to the front line. With his superb fire control ability, he can perfectly restore various foods before the micro disaster. When not cooking, I will also guide a young man in the ark who also has the ability to control fire, which can be considered as using his remaining heat.

"Eat, eat!" Lin Meiqi put three deep-fried dough sticks on the plate in front of Tom. "After eating, go to take a bath and sleep."

Tom happily bit the deep-fried dough sticks, which was softened by soybean milk. "It's OK, I'm not so tired."

"Now is a critical moment, and we all need you to maintain your maximum physical strength..." She looked around and immediately leaned in his ear as there were very few people in the restaurant. "I think this is not easy, and last night when I was on duty at the bridge, I saw through high magnification cameras that there was always a bird following behind the car."

"Bird?" Tom was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it an illusion?"

"No, there is a bird. It has been flying far behind. I asked Cheng Shun to stop the ark, and the bird immediately fell behind the house, started again, and followed again. Nine times out of ten, this is eyeliner. Considering that those mutants will drive other creatures to fight, I think they will catch up soon."

"What bird?"

"It seems like a crow."

Crow? Tom suddenly stood up and said, "No, I'm going with the biscuit to get rid of it!"

"It's useless, the sledgehammer and biscuits don't fly as high as these birds, the gun can't hit them, and the ark is moving at full speed and not as fast as others in the air. That's why I said you need to rest well, mutant people at any time..." Before Lin Meiqi finished speaking, a mournful alarm sounded in the restaurant.

"Attack! We're under attack!"

Tom grabbed her and said, "Let's go, go to the Armor Depot!"
