The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (50)
Song Ning didn't pay much attention to the idea that the color of the fragments resembled the occasional glint of light in the big cat's eyes, nor did she mention it to Liang Anlin.
After all, it's just a coincidence that the colors are somewhat similar, and besides, when you look at a big cat, its vertical pupils are usually more yellow.
Song Ning had only seen blue eyes a few times, which didn't mean anything.
However, the matter of the fragments did concern many people on Liang Anlin's side. Firstly, no one had noticed that there was a fragment in the rat's head. Secondly, because Liang Anlin was going to collect all the fragments, everyone naturally couldn't help but discuss what the fragments were for.
Even the logistics staff counted them piece by piece; there were a total of 1,148 rats on the ground, but only 892 fragments.
Song Ning had over three hundred pieces in his own small bag, because the probability of getting fragments from the rats he killed was significantly higher.
No one can explain why, but everyone is determined to study it carefully once they return to Earth, just in case it has some great use.
Because of the harvest on the fourth day, everyone stayed up a little later that night, and the progress on the fifth day was significantly slower than on the fourth day.
On the way, they encountered the base's rescue team again. This time it wasn't Sister Man but a man named Brother Feng. Liang Anlin clearly recognized him and greeted him.
After a brief chat, Song Ning overheard some information.
The number of people who went underground was not small, and more than fifty people have been killed so far. The base did not expect so many people to be killed, so it has increased its rescue efforts and sent three more teams down.
Feng couldn't help but sigh as he spoke.
"Actually, most people are caught off guard because they are not paying attention to the sudden danger when they are resting."
They have urged everyone to arrange for people to keep watch at night while collecting supplies, and so far the results have been quite good, at least the mortality rate is much better than before in the last two days.
Upon hearing this, Song Ning couldn't help but pat the big cat's back several times. He had to be thankful that he had chosen to cooperate with Liang Anlin.
Although the big cat can keep watch for danger for him, he definitely couldn't handle hundreds or thousands of zombie rats like the ones just now, let alone keep watch at night.
After listening for a while, Song Ning suddenly asked Feng Ge a question.
“We were attacked by a large swarm of zombie rats last night. I noticed that many of the rats had wounds inflicted by their own kind. I wonder if the same thing has happened elsewhere?”
Feng was a little surprised when he heard this. He glanced at the black panther next to Song Ning and immediately realized Song Ning's identity.
Without hesitation, he said, "I don't know about the others, but we did hear about similar incidents last night. However, they weren't as observant as you, Mr. Song. They didn't notice the wounds on those rats caused by their own kind. I'll report this to my superiors when I get back."
Much of the information underground is unknown. The base has only granted short-term exploration rights, and afterwards, their own people will have to go down and explore. Every piece of information is very important to them.
Song Ning noticed that his expression was normal, and guessed that neither group of people had discovered the secret on the rat.
He thought for a moment, then tentatively asked.
"I wonder which direction they encountered them from? There were quite a few rats and they were a bit troublesome, so we'd like to try to avoid them."
This didn't arouse any suspicion from Brother Feng. He simply told Song Ning and the others the location and then left.
As soon as the person left, Liang Anlin couldn't help but look at Song Ning, "You mean..."
Song Ning nodded; his intention was clear.
He didn't intentionally keep the fragments from Feng Ge; it was just their guess at the moment and they couldn't be sure yet. Besides, these fragments were part of their exploration resources, and if they could determine the function of the fragments, they would probably be able to obtain more during the subsequent exploration of the base.
They've essentially given up searching for other supplies to collect these fragments.
After weighing the options, Liang Anlin decided to trust Song Ning's intuition.
After all, judging from the current progress of the underground exploration, although the large quantity of alcohol is quite encouraging, it is not particularly ideal otherwise.
Moreover, compared to the unknown future, the resources that are already in front of us are easier to obtain.
Liang Anlin immediately changed direction, and the group quickly found a large number of zombie rat corpses in the direction Feng Ge had indicated.
"Hurry up, someone might come over at any time, so don't leak this information yet."
Liang Anlin spoke succinctly, and then bent down to start tidying up himself.
Song Ning was not idle either. The group worked together and this time they collected more than 300 fragments in just 20 minutes.
"It seems like the chances of them getting this many are even lower."
After Liang Anlin confirmed with his logistics team that the number of rats encountered on both sides was actually about the same, he couldn't help but glance at Song Ning several times.
If it were just a matter of different probabilities on their own side, that would be one thing, but now this batch is clearly much smaller. Is it possible that Song Ning is a person with great fortune?
This thought kept swirling in Liang Anlin's mind and couldn't be ignored; his eyes clearly showed it.
Song Ning noticed it but couldn't explain it.
Are you suggesting he go and play the victim, recounting his experiences before meeting the big cat?
Liang Anlin might become even more convinced that he only changed his fate after meeting Da Mao, although that's actually pretty much true...
As Song Ning thought about it, her gaze became a little strange as she looked down at the big cat.
So, when you think about it that way, it does seem to be true, right?
His life was miserable for the first few decades, and things really changed after he met Big Cat.
Song Ning received thirty-five fragments this time. Since he had found them, he didn't think it was too few. After putting them together with the previous fragments, everyone continued on their way.
On the fifth and sixth days, they didn't find anything significant. After all, more than a decade had passed, and most of the things were broken and unusable. They even discovered a whole street of food stalls along the way, where the food had naturally long since rotted.
However, I did find quite a few still-usable pots, pans, and metal skewers for barbecue.
The most exciting thing was that they also found two tons of fruitwood charcoal. Although it wasn't a lot, it was still a pleasant surprise.
People weren't too disappointed. After all, charcoal is a good thing, and no one would complain about something so valuable.
On the last day, Liang Anlin and Song Ning discussed it and decided to explore for only half a day before heading back, since the agreed-upon time with the base was fast approaching.
They were shocked to discover a wonderful place less than half an hour after they set off.
They found an abandoned research institute. For some reason, the building appeared to have simply collapsed, but the interior was almost completely preserved!
