The end of the world: mountain and sea disasters

Chapter 50 Flowers
The Forestry Prevention Bureau is a department under the Disaster Prevention Bureau.

If the rewards can be converted, Yu Ke's bow and arrows can be considered to have been secured.

After thinking for a moment, Anseli agreed to help Yu Ke inquire.

At 1:30 in the afternoon, the transportation team successfully arrived at the Xiaohuayuan work station.

During the handover of materials, Yu Ke made a request to Captain Zhao to check the body of the human-faced owl, and the latter agreed to the matter after briefly asking Captain He.

As someone who has hunted man-masked owls twice, Yu Ke would have no problem checking out his prey.

Ansaili asked the members of the hunting team to stay outside and continue to protect the material transportation team. He followed Yu Ke and Captain Zhao into the laboratory, and soon met He Zhili who was still clinging to the workstation.

After greeting each other, He Zhili, who knew Yu Ke and Anseli's intentions, motioned to his assistant to open the experimental cabin next to them.

Perhaps because of previous accidents, the experimental cabin this time was obviously reinforced and equipped with many smart devices.

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

It bloomed.

It's neither a metaphor nor a figure of speech.

The carcass of the human-faced owl is in bloom.

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

They crowd each other, their petals are stacked on top of each other, and their stems are entangled with each other, as if they are competing for the few nutrients left in their flesh and blood.

The human-faced owl's claws and fangs are obscured.

But even so, Yu Ke still felt chilled when he saw the scene in front of him.

"The human-faced owl was infected by Pandora when it was resurrecting from the dead. We wanted to dissect its corpse to analyze how Pandora transformed living bodies and brought them back to life. However, as time goes by, The changes in the body were unexpected."

Looking at the body of the human-faced owl in the experimental cabin, He Zhili was equally confused.

Pandora's escape doesn't mean the Little Garden Workstation will be shut down.

In fact, its ability to revive corpses for escape attracted wider attention. After the video of the scene was sent to the Disaster Prevention Bureau, it received high-level attention and required the Small Garden Workstation to continue in-depth research.

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

Even if the people who are "resurrected" are irrational and close to zombie-like existence, this is still the ability to make the dead move. If this weird ability can be stripped and purified, maybe medical science can be realized. A cross-generational breakthrough.

Not to mention the Disaster Prevention Bureau, why do those wealthy people invest tens or even hundreds of millions every year in researching ways to live longer?
If they knew about Pandora's ability, they would probably have to invite the poacher organization to the depths of the Mirror Lake Forest at all costs.

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

"What are these flowers?"

When Anseli looked at the picture of "a human-faced owl sleeping among flowers" in front of him, he felt weird and couldn't help but ask.

"Currently we have not found a flower species that matches it. It is likely to be a mutated species. We now have two research directions. One is that Pandora brings the seeds of these flowers into the body of the human-faced owl, and the other is that humans The owl's flesh and blood was transformed into flowers."

"Perhaps the human-faced owl ate the seeds of these flowers during its lifetime and was ripened by Pandora after death, which led to such a scene?" "No way, you will know the reason just by looking here."

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

Placed inside were several human corpses infected by Pandora, all of them covered in bright purple and red!
The extremely strange sight made the two people who came to check the body fall into silence.

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

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

Leave the workstation and return to the surface.

Anseli began to gather team members and headed to the human-faced owl's nest, trying to figure out why the human-faced owl was infected.

The yaks needed to load supplies and wounded people, and this time they had no choice but to walk.

Fortunately, the human-faced owl's nest was not too far from the workstation, and Yu Ke's watch still recorded the original route. There was no such thing as getting lost, but the conditions along the way were a bit harsh.

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

They wandered into the deep forest with eyes full of ferocity, searching for meat that could fill their howling stomachs.

The wild boar like a mountain of meat rushed through the ferns, crushed the ice and snow on the ground, and charged. Its two fangs were covered with dark brown mottled blood. Apparently many creatures had fallen to the charge of this "tank vehicle" Down.

Unfortunately, I found the wrong opponent this time.

Yu Ke, who was walking at the front of the team, did not dodge, raised his bow and fired three consecutive shots.

Three arrows sank into the wild boar's head in a square shape, two blinded its eyes, and the special blasting arrow in the middle penetrated its head. With a dull explosion, red and white brains splashed all over the ground.

"Let's go, it's just ahead. It's best to avoid this place when you return to the workstation later to avoid bumping into other predators."

This kind of giant wild boar is the most common mutated creature in the depths of Jinghu Forest. It can’t even reach the special individuals required by the characteristics of the loot. Yu Ke is too lazy to search for it. He marks the location on his watch and signals to others. Keep up.

The members of the hunting team did not react much to such low-level monsters. Only Anseli glanced at the arrow that had been engulfed in the wild boar's head when passing by it, leaving only a small part of the arrow outside. His eyes focused and he left as if nothing had happened. .

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

"Pandora had been detained before escaping from the workstation, and the human corpses that appeared outside the Little Garden Workstation have been identified after identification as those who have disappeared in agricultural products outside Danhang City in recent times."

Anseli handed Yu Ke the tools needed to climb the tree. Seeing that the latter waved his hands to indicate that he didn't need them, he turned around and put them on himself.
"This means that the human-faced owl has actually been infected by Pandora for a long time, and some preparations are being made to rescue it, but at that time it did not undergo horrific mutations like it did after death."

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

After listening to Anseli's analysis, Yu Ke frowned and asked.

The two are separated by the experimental cabin and the workstation is still so far away. The human-faced owl and Pandora don't look like they can wear Bluetooth headsets. Why do they work so well together?
"This is why we are here today. I tend to think that Pandora can communicate with any infected creature. No, it should be said to be control. Its orders completely override the will of the controlled person. We must understand Pandora How did La infect the human-faced owl?"

The hunting team has actually been tasked with tracking down Pandora.

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