The city of misty fog, starting to evolve from the cobra

Chapter 8 Choice
At the end of the meeting, the four captains dispersed, but Zhang Ji was stopped by Lu Wencai.

"Hi district chief!" Zhang Ji was very polite.

But his tall stature carried a strong aura of oppression, and the coercion of a king cobra made Lu Wencai's heart tremble for a while, and his face became unnaturally slightly stiff.

"Sit down and talk." Lu Wencai said, ordering a cup of tea.

Zhang Ji touched the glass with his hand, but didn't drink it. Lu Wencai looked at Zhang Ji and said with burning eyes:
"Zhang Ji, born in the year of Snake, unmarried, 25 years old, retired soldier king, participated in border battles, made second-class meritorious service, refused to go to a public institution arranged by the state, returned to Xichuan Town to serve his hometown, and worked in Huatian before the Misty Disaster. The post of deputy captain of the building security."

He looked into Zhang Ji's eyes and said, "Am I right?"

Zhang Ji squinted his eyes and nodded, "The district chief has something to say, please speak up."

He believed that the other party would not be bored and came here to investigate himself.

Lu Wencai smiled and said: "Now that Xichuan Town has fallen and suffered a catastrophe, it is time to employ people. After this expedition, I will use you again. Work hard, Zhang Ji, don't let me down."

Zhang Ji got up and said: "Thank you for the district chief's cultivation, Zhang Ji will definitely live up to his trust!"

Lu Wencai picked up the teacup, Zhang Ji understood, got up and saluted and left.

He just left.

From the back of the meeting room, a man in a white coat came out. He was an octogenarian with white hair, but he was very energetic and his eyes were shining.

His name is Zhu Tiandao.

A well-known professor of biology is an expert sent by the upper echelons to Xichuan Town to study the strange fog.

In fact, as early as half a year ago, a strange fog appeared in the mountainous area near Xichuan Town. The wind could not disperse it, and the sun could not penetrate it. There were no creatures in it, which was very strange.

Zhu Tiandao and many professionals have started research, and several months have passed, some results have been obtained, and amazing discoveries have been made.

In order to collect experimental materials, he came to Xichuan Town alone. Unexpectedly, the town was sealed off by the mist and trapped here, but this also allowed him to discover the clues of the night disaster and a corner of the terrifying truth.

"The test results have come out. The mist will release a large amount of black matter at night, making people mutate into beasts and turning them into monsters of their respective zodiac signs. This is the root cause of the fall of Xichuan Town."

Zhu Tiandao said solemnly, handed Lu Wencai a cigarette, and lit one himself.

Lu Wencai's hands trembled, but he didn't look surprised, and sighed, "It seems that the scenes in the video are all true."

The official means and details are unimaginable. Although it is claimed that the video recording and surveillance are invalid, some things have been found secretly, but the truth is too horrifying to be announced.

Zhu Tiandao blew out a smoke ring, saw the expedition team in the courtyard ready to go, and said, "It seems that you have already made a decision!"

Lu Wen was fascinated by the mist in the void, until the cigarette in his hand burned his fingers, and then he came back to his senses, flicked the ash, and his eyes turned cold.

"We can't get out of Xichuan Town. At night, people mutate and turn into beasts. The survival of the fittest. I belong to the dog family. Although I'm just a Tibetan Mastiff, I don't want to die. I want to live."

"No one fucking wants to eat my meat. I, Lu Wen, only got to where I am today. I want to live a better life!"

"My wife and daughter are still waiting for me outside!"

He took out his wallet, and there was a photo in it. It was a family of three, enjoying themselves happily.

Looking at the photo, a smile appeared on the corner of Lu Wencai's mouth.

Zhu Tiandao glanced at Lu Wencai, smoked all the cigarettes in his mouth, and stamped out the cigarette butts, "Today's [-] expedition members are very good. Capture them and send them to my laboratory, and the in vivo experiment will be completed. .”

"At that time, I can decompose the black matter in the mist, help you evolve, and help you survive."

"The evolution liquid I gave you yesterday is not stable and has certain risks, but as long as you continue the experiment, you can refine a more pure and stable evolution liquid."

Lu Wencai nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

"You're welcome, I'm old. If it wasn't for the mist, I might have died, but now, I think I can live for a few more years. As long as I study the mist thoroughly, maybe I can break the shackles of birth, old age, sickness and death, and make human beings general longevity”

There was a bright light in Zhu Tiandao's eyes.

As a professor who has studied biology all his life, his greatest hope is to uncover the mysteries of life and benefit all mankind.

For this, he is willing to sacrifice everything.

"That Zhang Ji is very good. If he can be captured, the in vivo experiment may be a one-time success!" Zhu Tiandao looked at Zhang Ji's back in the yard, his eyes burning.

Lu Wencai sighed, "I originally wanted to use him again, but since you've said it, that's fine!"

"Zhang Ji, including the other hundred expedition members, none of them can escape. I will send them all to your laboratory and lock them up for you to study slowly!"

Hearing this, Zhu Tiandao's eyes showed anticipation, and his hands, which had been doing vivisection experiments all year round, trembled slightly with excitement, "In this case, many people may die."

Lu Wencai took a deep breath of the mist in the void, squinted his eyes and said faintly: "Aren't there still fewer people dying now? Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest, their sacrifice is worth it!"

Zhang Ji left the West District office compound.

Together with many expedition members, a total of 100 people headed westward, passing the Niu Niu Le Farm on the way, and walking for dozens of miles, finally saw a large forest, looming in the mist.

This used to be the Xichuan Expressway, but now nothing can be seen, and the forest is sealed off.Vaguely, there are only five trails stretching to the depths of the forest, disappearing in the mist.

Zhang Ji looked surprised. He came here yesterday, but he didn't see these five paths. Why are there again now?
At this time, a fat man in a white coat said loudly:
"Everyone, these are the five roads we are going to explore today, five teams, each going one way, each led by one of our people."

There are four white coats beside him, all experts sent by Lu Wencai to assist.

The five of them walked in the distance, whispering in secret.

Zhang Ji looked at the five people, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"Captain Zhang, I will assist your third team." The five quickly dispersed, and a white coat walked up to Zhang Ji, but it was a woman with a smile in the corner of her eyes and a handsome appearance.

"My name is Zhu Qi."

Zhang Ji nodded and said: "It's not too late, let's go!"

He looked at his watch, it was already twelve o'clock at noon, and it was less than five hours before dark, when that time came, everyone would turn into ferocious birds and beasts again.

Zhu Qi raised her eyebrows in displeasure, covered her head and led the way, and walked to the third forked path.

"Everyone follow!" Zhang Ji shouted.

The twenty team members behind hurriedly followed, Zhang Ji glanced at the distance, Zhao Zigang followed the fat man in the white coat and led the team to the fifth fork in the road.

The rest of the teams also set off.

The fog is thick, the ancient trees are towering, and the forest is even darker. The ground is covered with decaying leaves and dead branches, like a primitive ancient forest that has existed for many years.

But I couldn't feel any animal breath, it was silent and depressing.

The mist fell on everyone's bodies one by one, and silently penetrated into the flesh and blood, making people's skin chill. Several team members shivered from the cold, cursing in a low voice that they didn't wear enough clothes, and it was so cold in the forest.

"Captain, I heard you were a soldier before, isn't that right?" A female player in the team asked with admiration. want to be close.

"Come on, Captain, I'll give you an apple!"

The female team members were very active, and quietly stuffed Zhang Ji with an apple, but they were shivering from the cold, and the apple almost fell to the ground.

The other team members laughed lightly when they saw this scene.

Zhang Ji took off his coat and put it on the body of the female team member. The female team member felt the warmth of the coat and Zhang Ji's masculine breath, and suddenly smiled shyly and happily, turning into an apple face, and said in a low voice: "My name is Zhang Ji. Wu Xiaobei, I'm 21 years old this year. I don't have a boyfriend yet."

Zhang Ji gave a "hmm" and asked her to follow him closely.

Wu Xiaobei pouted and snorted coldly.

The fog in the forest was very heavy, and everyone's figures were very hazy.

Zhang Jida yelled: "Everyone cheer up, don't fall behind, be careful there are beasts around."

There was dead silence around, not even mosquitoes, let alone beasts, but when the team members heard this, their expressions became serious and they became more vigilant.

In front, Zhu Qi led the team, and frowned slightly when she saw this, but she continued to move forward without saying a word, sometimes stopping to look around, as if she was trying to discern something.

Zhang Ji closely followed her, watching the scene quietly.

After walking for more than two hours, Zhang Ji passed by a crooked banyan tree, and suddenly shouted: "Expert Zhu Qi, we have walked this road three times already?!"

"Are you leading us around?"

His eyes were cold, and he stared at Zhu Qi closely.

Zhu Qi's eyes flustered, but she said angrily, "Am I an expert, or are you an expert? What did the district chief tell you in the meeting before he came, and let you follow orders in all actions."

"However I tell you to go, you just follow along, don't talk too much!"

"Is the road leaving Xichuan Town so easy to explore?"

Zhang Ji grinned, with white teeth, and apologized: "Expert Zhu Qi, don't be angry, please continue to lead the way!"

Zhu Qi snorted coldly and said, "Talk to me, don't show your white teeth so much, it makes me uncomfortable!"

"I'm not leaving now, just rest where I am for half an hour before starting."

While talking, he squatted on a tree stump, took out a bottle of water and drank it, with an angry face, but anxious in his heart.

The people who agreed to ambush around, why haven't they come yet? She can't handle so many people by herself, especially this Zhang Ji, who has a fierce face and muscles all over his body, she is not sure at all.

Moreover, the other party seemed to doubt himself.

She was very worried, and drank a lot of water to hide the irritability in her heart.

Zhang Ji frowned, took a deep look at the Zhu Qi expert, and waved his hands to make the team members behind him come over and rest on the spot.

After resting for more than an hour, Zhu Qi greeted everyone and led the crowd to move on.

In fact, it is going around in circles in the forest.

The sky was getting darker, the fog in the forest was getting thicker and thicker, it was gloomy and cold, several team members were sneezing non-stop, the female team member named Wu Xiaobei came over again and handed Zhang Ji a peach.

"Captain, eat a peach!" She had a pure smile on her face, very sunny, wearing Zhang Ji's overcoat, she was no longer so cold, and her face was shiny.

Zhang Ji admired her very much. It is admirable for a little girl to dare to sign up for the expedition team.

"What's your zodiac sign?" he asked.

Wu Xiaobei hurriedly replied: "I am a horse, what about you?"

"snake!"

"Yeah! Our zodiac signs are so compatible!" Her eyes were as bright and pure as jewels, full of happy smiles, and with some kind of expectation, "Does the captain have a girlfriend?"

Zhang Jidang pretended not to hear.

Wu Xiaobei looked pure and cute, but he was able to go through two rounds of elimination. It must be that the horse that mutated and turned into a beast at night was not an ordinary horse, it must be extremely ferocious.

He looked at Zhu Qi in the distance again, and asked, "Expert Zhu Qi, what do you belong to?"

"Rat!" She said indifferently, "Why, are you investigating me?"

"No, I just want to say that it's a coincidence. Before that, my supervisor was a rat. She deducted my salary every day and made things difficult for me. In the end, she"

"What's up with her?"

"died!!!"

Zhang Ji's eyes suddenly became cold, and he jumped up, like a humanoid beast preying on it, and rushed towards him.

"I have endured you for a long time, dear expert Zhu Qi, tell me your real purpose!"

A cold voice sounded in the forest.
