Chapter 374 The Mysterious Zoo: Where is the Hunter in the Dark?
Bai Ta knew that Lin Yuan was far superior to him in controlling animals; in fact, he himself did not possess this ability, but rather it was "gifted" to him by Lin Yuan.
Given the current situation, Lin Yuan must know something, but he still entrusted everything to him.
Bai Ta wasn't unwilling, but he felt that if Lin Yuan handled it personally, the losses among the cats and dogs might be less. Subconsciously, he still considered these cats and dogs as friends and wanted to minimize casualties as much as possible.
But Lin Yuan didn't think so.
"White Tower, this is not a game." Lin Yuan said in a slightly cold voice, "In the future, you will control more animals and witness more animals die. This is inevitable. But the more familiar you become with them, the fewer they may die in the future. And this requires more hands-on experience."
"I see."
The white tower said softly.
He naturally understood the principles.
Just then, the silent zoo was filled with the screams of a cat once again.
Bai Ta's heart tightened, and he hurriedly ran in that direction.
The bushes ahead trembled, and when he parted them, he saw a mangled cat carcass. The wounds were irregular, clearly torn apart by some large animal.
"Oh shit!"
"no!"
"Everyone come back and gather here first."
The white pagoda shouted loudly, its voice echoing through the forest.
……
The helicopter was still circling in the sky.
Lin Yuan sat in the cabin, his perspective constantly shifting.
Through Lin Yuan's perspective, the women also witnessed the truth behind what happened at the zoo.
"Master, what was that just now?" Jiang Qian was still a little stunned.
“It must be some kind of superpower,” Lin Yuan said. “The animals here have all evolved as well.”
Yes.
Although Bai Ta is still completely baffled, Lin Yuan can see it clearly from the perspective of raising animals.
The two cats that died were killed by a wolf and a bear.
The wolf and bear appeared almost instantly, hiding among the grass and trees. Their fur changed color, turning from gray and brown to a green like the grass and trees, blending perfectly with the environment so well that they were indistinguishable to the naked eye.
But the truth is far more complex than that.
The wolf and the bear could not be detected by radar scanning and thermal imaging.
This shows that they are not simply changing color like chameleons, but have evolved some kind of special ability.
"Superpower... what kind of superpower is this?" The women were all puzzled.
Lin Yuan brought up the system panel and browsed through the various superpowers. Through the appearance and addition of the 'Dream Forging' superpower, Lin Yuan could confirm that the superpower gene-locking potions that could be exchanged in the system panel were completely compatible with the types of superpowers in the real world.
In other words, whether it's an animal, a zombie, or a human, any superpower that has ever appeared can be found in the system panel as an option.
However, after looking through them, Lin Yuan found that there were no matching superpower options.
"That is indeed a bit strange," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Just then, something happened again in the woods below.
At the call of the White Tower, the cats that had been searching in the woods began to retreat and gathered towards the White Tower.
However, along the way, Lin Yuan clearly saw through his perspective that a tiger suddenly emerged from a clump of grass and trees, opening its blood-red maw without warning and instantly killing a cat, quickly swallowing it whole. Immediately afterward, the Siberian tiger swiftly returned to the grass, once again blending into its surroundings.
"This is wrong!"
Liu Yun woke up with a start and asked in confusion, "A wolf, a bear, and a Siberian tiger! These three different kinds of animals have all evolved the same superpower? And there's no corresponding option for this superpower? This situation is a bit strange."
"Yes."
Lin Yuan said softly, "There might be even more animals hiding in this forest. I can't see them clearly from the helicopter, but I should be able to find them once we get down."
"However, let's leave it to the White Tower. This is a good opportunity for a trial."
After saying that, Lin Yuan shook his hand.
A white light streaked out from the gap in the hatch, followed by dozens of flies and mosquitoes that flew down into the jungle below.
"Although we've entrusted everything to the White Tower, we can still do some scouting first."
Lin Yuan didn't take it to heart.
But at that moment, he seemed slightly dazed.
"Master, what's wrong?" Qin Huan noticed Lin Yuan's unusual behavior and hurriedly asked.
"Interesting! These flies and mosquitoes." Lin Yuan squinted and noticed that after the flies and mosquitoes landed, they flew in a distorted and disoriented manner, like headless flies.
The women were also surprised.
"Could this zoo have some kind of special magnetic field or something?" Jiang Qian guessed.
“That’s one way to put it,” Lin Yuan said seriously. “And what’s even more interesting is that I’ve discovered a force that’s vying with me for control of these flies and mosquitoes.”
"what?"
All the women gasped in surprise.
Liu Yun exclaimed in surprise, "Master! Can I understand it this way: this zoo has actually been controlled by some evolved being, and he can even control other animals to change color and hide?"
“If there were a color-changing ability, it would be very possible, but we really can’t find a corresponding ability option.” Lin Yuan also frowned: “Moreover, even if the beast-taming ability is developed to the point of red eyes, or even higher, it is impossible to have such exaggerated performance. Remember that pockmarked guy from before? He was quite strong and his ability development was also decent, but in the end, he could only control a tiger.”
“Indeed… what if there are exceptions?” Liu Yun guessed.
"It's alright! Although that will is vying with me, it can't possibly take over my control. That will even tried to control the cats and dogs before, but the degree was too slight for me to notice," Lin Yuan said after carefully sensing the situation.
This is good news.
This suggests that the other party's 'beast taming' ability is probably only so-so.
After confirming that the flies and mosquitoes had been stabilized, Lin Yuan continued to assign them to search the zoo's woods. He smiled slightly, "This is really interesting. I want to see what kind of thing it is."
Flies and mosquitoes are incredibly pervasive when it comes to detection, and they can detect even the smallest things. Ultimately, the truth about this zoo will not be kept secret.
……
Meanwhile, in the woods.
Bai Ta looked at the three remaining cats and gritted his teeth.
"Oh shit!"
He cursed under his breath, then quickly composed himself and said to Lin Yuan through the communicator, "Boss, I request that all animal teams descend upon the zoo."
"I told you, you have the right to decide," Lin Yuan replied coldly.
"it is good."
White Tower issued orders to the helicopters transporting the cat and dog squadron and the armored zombie tiger.
The two circling helicopters opened their cabin doors.
Eight armored zombie tigers, along with more than forty cats and dogs, were all dropped down during the swooping attack.
Aside from being somewhat disobedient when eating, these creatures mostly obeyed the White Tower's commands.
"No need to scatter!"
"We'll conduct a thorough search."
"Me-centered".
"The tigers stay on the outside, the cats go to the higher ground, and the dogs follow me closely."
With a few words, Bai Ta gave the order, and the zombie tigers and the cat and dog squad wagged their tails and quickly formed a formation according to his instructions!
