Transmigrated as the Domesticated Rabbit of the Sick and Frail Villain in the Apocalypse - CH 51.3

All the residents of the shed had fallen into a pool of blood, not with any fatal knife wounds or attacked by some wild beasts, but all of the corpses had turned into skeletons.

Most of the skeletons still had some flesh and blood stuck to them, but a few of them had been gnawed clean.

The mutated flies that had come over from being attracted to the smell first feasted, and then laid eggs and built nests on the remaining decaying flesh, using it as a breeding place.

Yin Yiliu had good eyesight, so she could see the milky white insect eggs the size of corn kernels among the rotting flesh, with the transparent parts in the middle rising and falling as if new bugs would soon break out of their cocoons.

The plant hybrid had just finished mentally preparing herself, but as she walked into the shed and saw the sight in front of her, her stomach rolled, and she almost vomited. She hurriedly turned around and ran out.

Although Yin Yiliu felt uncomfortable, it was still acceptable for her. She took a deep breath, the strong smell of blood lingering around her.

As she sensed the concern of the person beside her, she pinched Jin Yang’s fingers, indicating that she was fine.

“This is definitely not the work of an ordinary mutated animal.”

It was the first time Rong Jinping had encountered such a situation, but he didn’t feel disgusted at all. He squatted in the fetid rotten flesh and pool of blood, rubbed some on his fingers, and moved his fingers to the tip of his nose to smell it.

“It’s very fishy and has a sour smell.”

Zuo Tai’s mentality was a little unstable at the moment. He repeatedly told himself to calm down, but strange occurances kept happening one after another at the base, and now such a terrifying mutated animal had appeared, quietly eating so many people without making a single sound. How could he not fall apart?

Although there were many mutated animals outside, they would not take the initiative to attack. Now that such a horrible monster had appeared inside the base, it was even more frightening.

Jin Yang’s expression remained unmoved. He squatted down to check the corpses up close and suddenly said, “This is not a casual hunt. The mutated animal must have torn these people’s tongues off first, so that they couldn’t make a sound.”

He pointed to one of the skeletons that did have the remnant of a broken tongue, which could explain why there were so many casualties but not a single sound.

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

After a while, with a solemn expression, Zhao Sihui asked tentatively, “You mean there is another level five mutated animal, and it’s hidden within the River Glory Base?”

It was able to premeditately cut off everyone’s tongue first so that they couldn’t call for help and could only become a meal on its plate. It didn’t seem like an ordinary animal but more like an intelligent mutated animal.

Could it be that River Glory Base really had another level five mutated animal?

Zhao Qiyang frowned at the tragic situation in front of him. Suddenly, he saw something in the pool of blood. After identifying it, he was shocked, and his face became ashen.

“B-big Bro Jin, my shoes…”

With trembling fingers, he pointed to the innermost corpse, which was also the most cleanly eaten one. A pair of tattered shoes lay on the ground, stained with blood.

But Zhao Qiyang knew that it was his shoes because he liked those shoes so much that he had drawn a smiley face on one of them.

At the moment, the smiling face was soaked in blood and appeared very creepy.

Why were his shoes in this shed?

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Zhao Qiyang waved his hand violently, “Why are all of you looking at me? It’s not me. I had thrown my shoes into the bald woods about 200 meters away from the house yesterday.”

Jin Yang glanced at him. “You’re not capable enough to do something like this. When did you throw away the shoes?”

Zhao Qiyang touched his nose and smiled wryly, “When we were on our way back home. The stuff I got on my shoes was too disgusting and smelly, so I simply threw it into the bald woods.”

Zuo Tai, who had been silent for a while, abruptly asked, “What did you say you got on?”

“A bug,” Zhao Qiyang blurted out. He scratched his head and corrected himself, “Accurately speaking, the blood of a bug. Big Bro Jin and my sister both saw it. When we were walking back yesterday evening, I trampled on a super big black beetle, and the soles of my shoes were stained with green juices. It smelled so bad that I threw my shoes away. I really don’t know how they got here.”

Kou Binbai, who was standing at the back, said, “People around here would go to the bald forest to cut the bark and grassroots to eat. Maybe they picked it up when they went there.”

After all, Zhao Qiyang’s shoes were completely intact when he had thrown them away, only stained with some disgusting liquid.

For ordinary people living in the shed, this was not a big deal.

Zuo Tai and Rong Jinping looked at each other, then at Jin Yang, a guess forming in their heads.

“Could it be bugs?” Yin Yiliu suddenly spoke up, expressing what everyone was thinking.

Rong Jinping threw the cigarette butt out of his mouth and exhaled the last smoke ring. “Most likely.”

He looked sharply at Zuo Tai, his gaze mixed with scrutiny and interrogation. He said with his eyes slightly squinted, “Zuo Tai, that’s not very nice of you. There are such things in your base that are not reported in advance.”

The mission they had received was to disperse the beast tide. Now, there was one more variable, which was likely to be more dangerous than the level five mutated animal outside, because insects were silent and untraceable.

Today, the ordinary people in the base had fallen as victims. No one could guarantee whether it would be them when they were soundly sleeping tomorrow.

Feeling wronged, Zuo Tai patted his own thigh. At this time, he couldn’t care about image anymore. He said with an annoyed expression, “I didn’t fucking know about this at all. I have never heard about such bugs in the base before this. This is the first time I have seen them.”

The members of the Jinping team who had been guarding the door were dissatisfied. “Then do you mean that this thing was brought by us?”

“That’s not what I meant,”  Zuo Tai sighed repeatedly and simply shut up.

At this time, Kou Binbai suddenly stared at Zhao Qiyang and asked, “How did you step on that bug yesterday?”

Zhao Qiyang was confused. Why did the fire move towards him again? He raised three fingers and made an oath.

“I swear this thing has nothing to do with me. I stepped on it at your base. If anything, it’s a hidden danger in your River Glory Base.”

For a creature that they still weren’t sure what and how many there were, the atmosphere of the three parties tensed up.

Jin Yang frowned and said, “Stop arguing.”

“”

The priority now was not to find out whose fault it was but to determine what this mutated animal was and whether or not it was an insect.

If it was an insect, how should they deal with it?

Zuo Tai gritted his teeth in silence for a moment, walked out of the shed, and waved at a few men who were guarding the perimeter with guns, signaling for them to come over.

He pinched the skin between his eyes wearily. “Clean up this place. Remember to clean it properly and don’t leave any blood stains.”

The subordinate nodded and hesitated for a moment before saying, “General, those people outside said that they can’t live here anymore. There are monsters…”

The ordinary people on the base were also panicking at the time. They all knew that people in an entire shed had silently died last night, and now there were a lot of discussions, saying that there were monsters in this place, and they were currently complaining loudly that they couldn’t live here anymore.

Zuo Tai sneered, “Do they want me to give them my room? Where would they live if not here? Outside the base?”

The subordinate was silent, knowing that Zuo Tai was like a powder keg now, and he would explode with the single pull of a finger. Not daring to speak any further, he bowed and walked out of the shed.
