    Chapter 280 "Hive"

    Chen Mo had never touched the ground before to avoid being attacked by mutant snakes hiding in the mud.  Therefore, he did not know that there were human bones under the mud. Although he was not frightened when he saw it, he was a little surprised.

    And it wasn¡¯t just this one, when Chen Mo cleared away the mud in front of him, he was shocked to find that the entire sewer was densely packed with skeletons.

    You must know that this place is already deep in the sewer. It is impossible for dozens of skeletons alone to bother these mutant beasts, so they have to go through all the trouble to move them here.

    Chen Mo suddenly felt a little frightened and couldn't help but look back at the deep passage behind him.

    There can only be one reason why skeletons are found here. In this sewer, starting from the entrance, there is a road paved with bones.

    If it weren¡¯t for these mutated beasts trying to get in and out, the entrance would probably have been completely blocked by skeletons, instead of being buried like this without a trace under the mud and feces.

    In other words, the current situation may be the result of the mutant beast clearing away the excess bones.

    Where did the extra bones go?  Chen Mo found no similar place on the ground, which meant that it was probably still below, where the mutant beast's mother nest was located.

    Because most mutant beasts that move on the ground are accustomed to building their nests deep underground, there are often more than one group of nests in such underground pipes. However, this time Chen Mo was only interested in the nests of mutant snakes.  .  From the constant encounters with mutant snakes along the way, it can be seen that this road leads to the mother nest of mutant snakes.

    Qisha¡¯s destination was obviously the nest of mutant snakes. It was precisely because he relied on his sense of smell to lead the way that he came to this area where a large number of mutant snakes were infested.

    At this time, the two mutant snakes, one red and one black, were still within Chen Mo's sight. Not only them, Chen Mo also found many other second-order mutant snakes rushing in that direction.  Those who attacked him before were all first-order mutant snakes. It seemed that they were all not qualified to enter the mother nest and therefore defended on the outside.

    The hierarchy within the mutant beast group is very strict, and the same is obviously true for snakes.  Only the second-level mutant snakes can truly enter the range of the mother nest, while the first-level mutant snakes can only wander outside.  The strict hierarchy also resulted in brutal internal competition.  As long as there is a chance, a first-level mutant beast will never let go of an injured second-level mutant beast.

    This is why the mutant beast group will continue to devour each other and complete a small number of advancements through internal self-elimination.

    Because evolution and hunting are the only meanings of their existence.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? by Queen Mother, is a special existence in the mutant beast population, and its purpose of existence is to continuously produce and inject fresh blood into the population that is constantly eliminating itself.  The productivity of a queen mother is really comparable to that of an industrial assembly line, and it does not require maintenance.  It will continue to give birth since it grows up, and will eventually give birth to a new female queen.  And this new female queen will inherit her mother's mission and continue to give birth.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? It can be said that a mother queen represents a prosperous population of mutant beasts.

    And as the internal elimination continues, this population will become stronger and stronger, and eventually a third-order mutant beast will be born like an underground base.

    Of course, the situation in the underground base is special. First of all, the creatures there have been affected by viruses and experiments and have undergone deeper mutations. Secondly, they are in a relatively closed environment, and other mutant beast populations are not enough to attack them.  It is precisely because of this that they can be continuously eliminated internally in a relatively stable environment.

    However, in areas with many mutant beasts, it is really difficult for a population to evolve third-level mutant beasts.

    It was precisely because of this consideration and the fact that he didn't feel any special aura that Chen Mo chased him all the way.

    But even if there are no third-order mutant snakes, facing hundreds or even thousands of second-order mutant snakes in such a narrow environment is still a very severe test.

    "It's a pity that you little guy can't speak. Otherwise, you could share the information with me and save me from being so worried."

    Chen Mo lowered his head and glanced at Qisha, who was holding his head and having fun, and sighed.

    He really wanted to snatch the head off, but Qisha kept holding it in his arms very curiously. Seeing this, Chen Mo had no choice but to give up.

    After all, in this environment, what he needs to pay more attention to are the elusive mutant snakes.

    Qisha was relatively careful when he moved forward, but at this time the heavy responsibility of advancing and facing the enemy fell on Chen Mo. He immediately started to do all kinds of mischief, and even dug his arm into the head, seeming to be interested in thisThings that ordinary people would never touch with their hands appear completely satisfactory.

    ¡°Ah wu ah wu¡­¡±

    Qisha¡¯s screams caught Chen Mo¡¯s attention. At the same time, Qisha also took the head into his other hand, but there was another thing in his right hand.

    When Chen Mo saw this thing, he immediately felt his head hurt.

    Snake shed

    It seems that the reason why Qisha holds the head is not out of curiosity, but because there is a snake slough in the head.

    How could a snake slough be left in a person¡¯s head?

    At this time, Chen Mo thought of a problem, that is, in such a deep and cold environment, it is impossible for the dead to rot into bones so quickly.  But if it is eaten by a mutant beast, it will definitely be a bare skeleton.  In this apocalyptic world, there are really not many dead people who can enjoy such good treatment as natural decay. It is even difficult to keep a complete skeleton.

    Chen Mo immediately turned his gaze to the head, and suddenly realized that the snake slough was probably left by a small snake as thick as a finger, and the eye sockets and nostrils of the head could allow a small snake of this size to enter and exit at will.

    "These mutated snakes, shouldn't they be using human brains as nutrient solution for their young snakes?"

    Thinking of this, no matter how steadfast Chen Mo was, he felt his head hurt.

    But what exactly happened, probably only these dead people know.

    After Qisha lost his head, Chen Mo sped up and chased the two red and black second-level mutant snakes.

    This location is already very close to the mother nest of the mutant snake. After being attacked by two mutant snakes again, there was no first-order mutant snake in front.  There was a blank area in the entire channel.  This is also something that is impossible to encounter in the mother nests of other mutant beast groups.

    It seems that the habits of this mutant snake are quite different from those of ordinary mutant beasts.

    But this was obviously more convenient for Chen Mo. He carried Qisha forward so fast that he almost only left an afterimage in the pipe.

    At the same time, within the scope of his clairvoyance, a huge "hive" gradually emerged.

    Chen Mo's eyes narrowed slightly. This "hive" must be the mother nest of the mutated snake.

    The hive is located in the area where more than a dozen pipelines intersect. The outer edges are sealed with the bones of humans and mutated beasts, some of which have not yet completely decomposed.

    A large number of second-order mutant snakes continued to burrow through the gaps in the bones, and the two second-order mutant snakes quickly swam in.

    Seeing so many mutant snakes appearing in his field of vision, even though they were still far away, Chen Mo still felt a chill on his back.

    ??To describe it in one sentence, it is really fucking spectacular
