Chapter 375 Is this damn haunted?
Zombie tigers were on the outer perimeter, cats were on top of them, and dogs surrounded the center of the white tower, forming a gathering formation. The white tower was at the very center of this formation.
This time, the White Tower didn't keep the cats and dogs too far away from it, but rather scattered them around its surroundings.
Bai Ta was already quite familiar with this zoo. Although it was now covered by various plants and trees, and looked completely different at first glance, the difference wasn't that significant. After exploring for a while, Bai Ta would definitely be able to figure out what was going on here.
As for the elusive 'murderer,' Bai Ta believed that with his arrangements, he would surely be able to come out soon.
And so, White Tower led the zombie tigers and the whole pack of cats and dogs, moving slowly through the jungle zoo. He also observed his surroundings as much as possible.
However, a long time passed without any attacks or any unusual occurrences. He had already explored almost the entire zoo.
"Could it be that they think we're too close together to be messed with, so they haven't made a move?" Bai Ta thought to himself. "If that's the case, then they're definitely not animals or zombies, but humans?"
Only humans can maintain their rationality in the face of 'food'; zombies and animals would never be so restrained.
But at this time.
call!
Suddenly, a cat overhead made a noise, causing the dense layer of leaves above to tremble. Then, the cat, seemingly out of sight, vanished instantly.
Bai Ta's heart tightened instantly.
Is this place haunted?
This time it was even stranger than before; there wasn't even a corpse or blood left behind, it just vanished into thin air.
However, the White Pagoda does not believe in ghosts or gods.
I didn't believe it in the past, and now that superhumans are everywhere, I'm even less inclined to believe it.
It must be related to some kind of superpower.
With this conviction firmly in his heart, Bai Ta bent his knees, and his tall and strong body became light. He leaped directly onto the tree, grabbed a drooping vine, and began to climb in the direction where the cat had disappeared.
Although he was also nervous, he still held onto the rattan with one hand and pulled out a fire axe from his waist with the other, ready at any moment.
All around him, and beneath him, cats, dogs, and even the armored zombie tiger stared in his direction. The atmosphere became incredibly tense, almost imperceptibly.
but.
The white tower had reached the spot where the cat disappeared, but still saw nothing.
There were only branches and leaves here; although it was very lush, there was really nothing there.
"I refuse to believe in evil spirits."
As Baita spoke, he grabbed the fire axe and poked into the surrounding foliage. Although the foliage was dense, it wasn't completely clustered together; if something was hiding there, it would definitely be visible.
Moreover, with a flurry of poking around with a fire axe, if that thing is there, it will eventually be touched.
But, it didn’t!
Just as Bai Ta was filled with doubt and uncertainty, he suddenly felt a tightness in his wrist—the wrist that had been gripping the vine. It was strange; the feeling was as if someone had suddenly wrapped a rope around his arm and started twisting it wildly.
Bai Ta turned around abruptly, his heart nearly stopped, and his pupils constricted.
In his sight, the vine he was holding had bent and wrapped around his arm. The vine suddenly began to throb and turned pitch black, with many irregular spots on it.
In a daze, a gaping maw suddenly appeared in front of the white pagoda.
"Fuck!"
Bai Ta was shocked! What he had grabbed was not a vine, but a giant black python hanging from the tree. The reason this giant black python had not been discovered was that it had not only changed the color of its skin, but had also intertwined with the real vine, just like a chameleon.
The python's mouth was open, and there were traces of blood and cat fur on its teeth.
Clearly, this is one of the culprits.
"Fuck you!"
Bai Ta swung the fire-fighting axe violently, unleashing his immense power.
In this situation, the sudden burst of power also meant speed. So the battle axe flashed like lightning, and the giant python's head was cleaved in two as soon as it opened its mouth.
pat!
The white pagoda and the severed body of the giant python fell from the sky at the same time.
The giant python's headless body continued to writhe.
"There's still help!"
The white pagoda's eyes lit up.
These giant pythons swallow their prey whole, then digest it. However, the cats they swallow are incredibly resilient and certainly won't die quickly.
White Tower stepped on the twisted snake carcass, slashed the axe into the cut, and then pulled it down sharply.
Hiss!
The headless snake was torn in two by an axe, spurting out mucus continuously, but eventually a curled-up cat was found on its belly.
The cat was indeed still alive, though somewhat weak, but it still managed to jump out. Without even bothering to groom itself, it rushed over and began to frantically bite the giant python.
The surrounding armored zombie tigers, cats, and dogs also rushed forward, and whether it was out of hatred or not, they were eating like madmen.
At times like these, they would not obey the White Tower's commands, so the White Tower simply waited quietly while observing the giant python.
He had just observed the python's eyes and the strength of its body, and he was 100% certain that this python was not some kind of evolved beast.
But here comes the problem.
Since this giant python hasn't evolved, how could it possibly possess the ability to 'change color'?
That's an instinctive skill that only chameleons possess.
In all the time I've worked at the zoo, I've never heard of any snake that behaves like this.
"That's absolutely outrageous."
"Moreover, the cats that died earlier were all mauled, which doesn't seem like the work of a giant python. This means that besides the giant python, there are other animals lurking in the shadows."
"and many more……"
White Pagoda suddenly felt a chill rise from its heart.
If the python wasn't discovered immediately because it changed color, then the 'real culprit' that attacked the cat earlier also changes color?
That's even more outrageous, isn't it?
Although Lin Yuan entrusted the entire matter to Bai Ta, Bai Ta still needed to report on such an important situation, so he decisively turned on the communicator.
“Mr. Lin, this place is too eerie. I encountered an unevolved giant python with the ability to change color. There are also several other animals that haven’t appeared yet, and I estimate that they also have the ability to change color.”
"This zoo is definitely not empty; there are actually many surviving animals, and it's very likely that they all have the ability to change color."
“Mr. Lin! I suspect that it may not be the animals that have mutated, but rather this area has mutated! Even the magnetic field is different now.”
Bai Ta asked, "Shall we continue with the mission?"
"understood."
Lin Yuan calmly said, "Your guess is probably half right. It's already quite good that you could think of these things. Continue with the mission."
The white pagoda was taken aback.
Good heavens, it turns out Lin Yuan already knows more than that. He was still circling in the sky, and even thermal imaging couldn't detect the situation here.
"Also, just a heads up, there isn't a 'color-changing' ability among all the current superpowers," Lin Yuan said with a smile. "I don't understand this either. If you can discover the truth here before I do, I'll give you an even better reward."
"what?"
Bai Ta laughed and said, "How could I possibly be ahead of Mr. Lin?"
"That's hard to say. The world is changing rapidly, and everyone has their own reason for being," Lin Yuan said. "White Tower, you're very capable; you should be more confident. Besides, this zoo is your home turf, isn't it?"
"Thank you, Mr. Lin."
Bai Ta hung up the call, his eyes hardening.
