Chapter 170 Journey (1)

But as Ricciardo said, did he meet a rotten wolf who can use a rifle? If it is true, then this is one step further than the wolf king of that day. But how long has it been? Has the rotten wolf evolved to this point?

Su was a little chilling.

"Over the years, our human evolution has been mainly in terms of body and strength. The evolution of wisdom is not actually significant. But mutant creatures are different. What we fear is not that they become faster, more fierce and more poisonous, but that they are gradually gaining wisdom. Look at it, for example, the fierce rat..."

Ricardo lights the windshield that has become a screen, and the pictures on it are constantly changing, all of which are the sectional images of the fierce rat. The corners of the picture mark the time and place of the cut. The earliest cutting image is data from 40 years ago, and the latest cutting image is last week. From the charts, it can be seen that the fierce rat's body size is obviously getting bigger, with sharper claws and teeth. However, the most eye-catching is that its brain capacity has almost doubled.

"There is no doubt that even from the perspective of brain capacity, these violent rats that we think are only biological instincts are becoming smarter, but we have not paid enough attention to it yet," Ricardo continued.

Su looked at the jumping scenes carefully. A big mouse, who was originally very gentle, seemed to appear in front of him, and then began to grow rapidly. While his minions were sharp, a cunning light began to emit from his small eyes, which were shining with blood-red light.

"What do you mean?" Su didn't understand why Ricardo said this to him.

"It's very simple. I'm interested in these mutant creatures that may have wisdom, so I'm willing to buy their samples at a high price. If you find mutant creatures with obvious intelligence and differences during the mission, you can sell them to me. I'm willing to buy them at three times the purchase price of the headquarters. Of course, this price is conditional. That is, the samples you sell to me cannot be sold to third parties, and the private laboratory under Passepini's name is an exception."

"In terms of the current situation between us, I should not trust you." Su said lightly.

Riccardo shrugged and said, "Beautiful boy, don't be so serious! Hate is hatred, and the task is a task, which is two different things. If you don't want to sell it to me, it's no big deal. Besides, I won't give up the idea of ​​breaking your legs just because you sold me a few specimens. We'll have to fight sooner or later. Of course, I would recommend that you sell me the things, and others may not be so expensive. If you take this money, don't you just go to pay Passepini's debt?"

"Are you helping me? But I don't appreciate it. And aren't you afraid of family blame?" Su smiled and replied.

Ricardo's expression became very serious and said, "I'm not only helping you, but also helping myself. I want to build a team, a unit dedicated to clearing out mutated creatures that may have wisdom. Maybe in the face of a real crisis, the hatred between us will become a joke."

"Real crisis?" Su's face was calm, but a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, the real crisis. But now it seems that it is not the time to talk about this. Let's talk about it when we make the first order." Riccardo braked the car. Before he knew it, the two of them had reached the edge of Dragon City.

Su looked at Ricardo, but did not ask any further, and took it to the desolate ruins alone. Ricardo murmured: "This winter will probably not be calm. I wish you good luck, beautiful boy... Alas, how great it would be if Ku Niu was willing to kill all over the world for me!"

Ricardo glanced at Su Gu's back, suddenly activated the jeep, and went away with a loud bang.

The ruins belt is very familiar to Su, but today the wind that hits us is not only a little cold, but also has some inexplicable smell. In front of Su, there is a deserted but straight road that stretches to the end of the city. On the other end of the road, there are mobs, greedy hunters, bloodthirsty mutant creatures, and perhaps something unusual.

This time, Su chose a brand new route, starting from Longcheng, passing by diagonally northwest, bypassing the northeast of the Pendulum City, and then to n958. Judging from the map of the old era, this road would pass through many village ruins and also have a developed highway network. Of course, these highways have long been destroyed and cannot be used anymore.

However, this route is much closer than the route that passes through Saratoga and then crosses the grassland, and it is much easier to supply n958 through the base Pendulum City, which has been established by the Roxerland Company. The villages and towns along the way can also be rebuilt into new supply points. The only disadvantage is that this route has to detour to the north of the grassland mountains before reaching the entrance of the base.

After a conversation with Ricardo before leaving, Su paid a lot of attention to all kinds of creatures in the wilderness. Although he had not seen any creatures with obvious signs of wisdom, the shadow of the leader of the rotten wolf was still lingering. Su understood what the real crisis Ricardo said was. Since a wise rotten wolf appeared, there might be a thousand or ten thousand, and other races might develop wisdom that could match humans.

This is not a good thing.

Although Su was not proficient in the theory of biological competition, he could know by intuition that at least on this land, two intelligent races could not coexist.

Su maintained a constant speed of 20 kilometers. Of course, the efficiency of running is far less than that of driving an off-road vehicle, but he likes this. This is not entirely because he can't afford the fuel. The main reason is that Su feels that he can get closer to the wilderness and the whole world. Almost every slight change can be felt by Su. The contact between his feet and the earth will even make Su have an illusion that he is running on the chest of the world and can feel the strong sound of the heartbeat and bloodline of the whole world!

After running for a long time, in the map in Su's consciousness, it can be seen that his current location is less than 100 kilometers away from Pendulum City and has entered the range of the patrol patrol of the Roxerland Company.

In front of Su, there was cracked and cold land, and in the distance was a dry river channel. Several dead trees stood prominently on the river bank, and the winding branches seemed to hang solidified time. Although it was winter, it was rarely snowing in the new era, and the ground was covered with tiny cracks due to drought.

Deep rut marks can be seen everywhere wherever you look. Judging from the pattern and shape of the wheel prints, it is the armed off-road vehicle configured by Roxerland.

Several wheel marks were particularly deep and the turning point was fierce. The hard waste soil at the outer edge of the wheel mark was pushed up. When the cold wind blew, the loose floating soil was flying everywhere. It seemed that the patrol convoy had just passed by here.

Su stopped and stared at the ground in the distance. There were more than a dozen black and inconspicuous round metal blocks half buried in the wasteland over the other side, scattered within a range of hundreds of meters. Each of these metal blocks is only five centimeters in diameter. At a distance of more than 1,000 meters, they are insignificant small dots. People who have not been strengthened by eyes cannot see them at all. Metal blocks like this can be seen almost everywhere in the ruins of the wilderness. However, what made Su vigilant was that he heard a strange high-frequency sound wave, which exceeded the normal hearing range of the human ear, but when encountering human tissue, it would rebound to form a new sound wave and reflect back. After countless data flashed in his mind, Su had already located the source of these high-frequency sound waves, which were the inconspicuous metal blocks in the distance.
