The Story of the Sheep

Li Luo's records were very detailed, but there was one thing she didn't notice.

In Mo Ling's perception, deep within the flesh and blood of the Shock Beast just now, there was a long red worm.

The worm's body wasn't thick, like a strand of hair, wriggling within the Shock Beast's flesh and blood.

With every beat of the Shock Beast's flesh and blood, the red worm also twisted its body, squeezing deeper and deeper.

The fangs on its head continuously gnawed at the flesh and blood, which also kept healing.

Was this healing ability also brought about by this red worm?

Mo Ling couldn't be sure if the red worm was a parasite originally present in the Shock Beast's body, or the reason for the Shock Beast's abnormality.

He couldn't operate the electronic screen and couldn't find specific information about the worm. It seemed he would have to rely on Li Luo.

I need to find a way to alert her.

The piece of flesh Mo Ling had just peeled off was exactly where the worm was located.

Life forms transmitted by Mo Ling would die instantly.

After being peeled off, the piece of flesh containing the worm's corpse was thrown by Mo Ling in a conspicuous place, but Li Luo didn't notice it.

That flesh and blood slime was too eye-catching, even Mo Ling himself was attracted by it.

The red worm was very small and its color was similar to the flesh and blood.

If not for his special perception, Mo Ling would have found it difficult to discover.

Not to mention Li Luo, who was still in the dark.

How could he make Li Luo notice such a tiny thing?

Just as he was thinking, another Shock Beast appeared in Mo Ling's field of vision.

As his vision deepened, Mo Ling again found that familiar red worm in the flesh of this Shock Beast.

This Shock Beast's perception was also abnormally sensitive, and it turned its body and charged towards Li Luo.

Perfect, Mo Ling decided to change tactics.

Targeting the upper part of the Shock Beast's legs, Mo Ling activated the transmission.

A smooth cut appeared at the base of its two legs, severing the slender Shock Beast horizontally in mid-air.

The spherical metal net, having lost its support, flew out of thin air and rolled all the way to Li Luo's front.

Just like the first one, the spherical flesh mass of this Shock Beast, even though it had no chance of winning, was still frantically jumping on the ground.

If the metal net hadn't restrained it, this flesh and blood would have already jumped out and launched an attack.

Mo Ling threw the leftover can onto the metal block.

Duang The sound attracted Li Luo's attention.

He then painstakingly shrunk the transmission box to its limit, targeting the area within the flesh and blood where the red worm was located.

When Li Luo looked at the can on the metal block, a cube of flesh the size of a bottle cap appeared out of thin air inside the can.

"She should have noticed by now!"

Indeed, Li Luo's attention was completely focused on the can.

Mo Ling fixed his gaze on the meat inside the can and began more detailed operations.

He continuously cut along the edge of the worm, carving out a long strip.

Perfect!

Now, only a long strip of flesh remained in the can, with a clear red thread visible within.

It was the dead worm.

Watching the changes in the meat, Li Luo's eyes lit up.

She quickly aimed the recording instrument at the can and took out tweezers and gloves from the back of the vehicle.

Carefully, she extracted the red worm from the remaining flesh and placed it in a transparent box for preservation.

After doing all this, Li Luo gave the metal block a meaningful look, seemingly interested in its recent actions.

However, Mo Ling wasn't worried.

He knew that such obvious fine manipulation would definitely arouse Li Luo's suspicion.

But this was precisely his opportunity to test the attitude of the humans in this world.

Yet, Li Luo didn't seem to find anything strange.

After taking off her gloves, she gently patted the metal block, seemingly satisfied with Mo Ling's recent actions.

"Good job, what else do you want to eat?" Li Luo asked, looking like she genuinely wanted to communicate with the metal block.

Oh no, wrong direction!

Mo Ling quickly played dead and didn't respond.

He didn't even choose anything this time when Li Luo took out food.

Instead, Li Luo showed a disappointed expression when she saw that the food hadn't disappeared.

She took out her electronic screen, and instead of recording the red worm first, she opened another notebook.

"Things Iron Block doesn't like to eat: Mustard biscuits, herring-flavored potato chips, canned sweet and sour pig brains, Sichuan peppercorn flavored QQ candy, snail shell powder, fragrant chicken beaks, Red Bull Ciba..."

Li Luo recorded the names of all the food items she had just placed on the metal block.

Then, she began to search for information about the red worm.

Seeing that notebook, Mo Ling's thoughts froze.

Should I be touched?

As Li Luo searched.

Information about the red worm in the flesh appeared on the electronic screen—

Red String Worm.

During the Great Cataclysm, this creature was discovered on Earth for the first time.

At that time, it had escaped from the Abyss and was parasitizing a Sheep. That Sheep tried every possible way to escape the Sheep pen every day.

It even rammed itself until its head was bleeding.

After the farm owner discovered the Sheep's abnormality, he only thought it had some kind of illness and wanted to kill it.

But after the butcher's knife struck, the Sheep's wound slowly healed.

This scared the owner, who quickly called the police.

At that time, the Great Cataclysm had already shown signs, and this zombie-like undead creature caused great panic.

The army surrounded the farm, cleared out the other Sheep, and then captured this one.

During the research process, people discovered the worm in the Sheep's brain.

The worm controlled the Sheep, constantly moving in one direction.

When struck by the butcher's knife, the worm made the Sheep exhibit the ability of automatic healing.

When researchers used fire to burn it, the Sheep gradually adapted to the flames and no longer feared high temperatures.

When confined in the research institute, the Sheep became increasingly strong, and one day it even pushed open the steel plate that held it.

When not given food, the worm made the Sheep begin photosynthesis.

The Sheep was evolving.

If it wasn't allowed to move towards where it wanted to go, this Sheep would continue to evolve until nothing could stop it.

They tried to peel off the worm, but after peeling it off, an identical worm appeared in the Sheep's brain.

The worm was also healed by the Sheep.

Finally, the research institute made a decision – to release this Sheep.

They wanted to see where the Sheep wanted to go.

The Sheep was eventually placed on the North Island, New Zealand.

As soon as this Sheep regained its freedom, it walked straight towards the sea.

It jumped off the cliff by the sea and was half-dead from the fall.

After healing, the Sheep began to cross the Pacific Ocean, heading northeast.

After drowning in the sea, it learned to swim, and its body became increasingly dolphin-shaped.

Initially, it swam very slowly and was carried by the South Equatorial Current to the Solomon Islands.

It continued to swim in the sea, and halfway through, it was carried by the North Equatorial Current and the Kuroshio Current to Japan.

Then it swam faster and faster, fins began to grow on its legs, it crossed the Bering Strait, and entered Canada from Alaska.

Then it walked into the Arctic Circle, and then came to Greenland from Baffin Bay.

The Sheep was hunted by various predators along the way, constantly healing itself. Only after feeding the predators their fill did it leave.

It arrived at the waters north of Greenland, covered in ice.

Amidst the vast expanse of white snow, it found a Polar Bear.

Then, it climbed onto its back.
