Chapter 7 Interviews
'Brother, where did the amber come from?' would anyone really abandon such a pet? My classmates said it was worth tens of millions. ’
Xu Wu had a headache when he looked at the WeChat message sent by his sister, knowing that his sister was suspicious of what he said before. Before thinking about it, it was better to say that he picked it up in the mountains, than to say that it was picked up in the pet store.
Just now what to explain? Tell me the truth? Is it just an accidental product of your brother when he went to animal testing and modified rabbits in order to give you gifts?
Believe it or not, it's troublesome.
Believe it, explain the matter of his island, Xu Wu doesn't want to tell his family about this matter now, it can be regarded as a secret.
If you don't believe it, do you want to continue to make up other stories? Deceive your lovely sister? It's a little too reluctant.
Xu Wu recorded according to his voice and said, "I can only say that amber is a unique creature in this world, and there will probably not be a second one." As for how it came about, I guess I picked it up, I can't tell. Don't ask any more, okay?"
I don't want to deceive, I don't want to tell the truth, I can only cope with the past. When Xu Yao forgot about it, the matter was over.
It's like those authors who dig holes and don't fill them, and when time passes, they don't exist.
Xu Wu picked up the kettle and poured himself a glass of water, and said to his parents who had just gotten up: "Mom and Dad, good morning, I have made breakfast, you can go to work after eating." ”
After speaking, Xu Wu took the toast and returned to his room.
"Phantom Moon, has the ecology of the grassland recovered?" asked Xu Wu vaguely, biting his bread.
Last night, he put some creatures into the grassland ecosystem that didn't exist before, marmots, ostriches, European bison, buffalo, giraffes, elephants, kangaroos, pheasants, and the like.
Most of the new inputs are herbivores, and the most common deaths from this flu are small mammals such as rabbits, wild cats, and mice, and the decrease in the number of middle and lower layers of the food chain has led to an increase in grassland vegetation and a decrease in the number of large predators.
In order to prevent the population of predators from plummeting, Xu Wu once again enriched the number of grassland species. At the same time, it also increases the decomposition rate of animal carcasses, adding more decomposers.
For the decomposer of cow bones and cow dung - mushrooms, the decomposer of straw carcasses - straw mushrooms, and the decomposers who like to grow next to dead leaves - wild mushrooms......
Later, when he was really annoyed, he asked Phantom Moon to make a list of various fungal species on the Internet, and he clicked into them one by one.
Boletus austrarinus, Clostridium boletus, white umbrella, Amanita orange, pine mushroom...... Xu Wu didn't pay attention to the problem of species anymore, and directly sowed spores in various parts of the island.
In fact, he originally wanted to increase the population by allowing the species with the highest mortality on the grassland to enter estrus in advance through genetic regulation. It's just that after thinking about it, I stopped doing this kind of behavior myself.
Excessive human intervention will only have a negative impact on the ecological restoration of grasslands. The grassland on the island is no longer the empty grassland it used to be, with many creatures and a certain ability to regulate the number of species, there are fewer rabbits, and the creatures that hunt rabbits will naturally be fewer, and the corresponding food will also increase, which will increase the number of rabbits.
With trust in the ecosystem's ability to regulate, Xu Wu fell asleep.
Phantom Yue's answer made the apprehensive Xu Wu breathe a sigh of relief: "For more than half a year, the grassland has built an immune system against influenza, and with the gradual spread of vaccines, mammals across the island have gradually formed immunity to influenza. The number of grassland species is gradually recovering. ”
"That's good, what about the five people? Did you find the boat and take you away?" Xu Wu, who put down the big stone in his heart, asked the source of the epidemic naturally.
Phantom Moon enlarged the map, marked three points of light on it, and said, "Two people are dead, and those who are still alive have been marked." ”
The three points of light were separated into two places, two of which were close to each other, near the mountains of the original grassland, and the other was alone between the grassland and the forest.
"Are you dead?" and how did you die?" Xu Wu was more concerned about the cause of death.
The Mirage Moon marked two locations on the map again, one in the direction of the lions in the grassland, and one in the forest near the grassland.
Xu Wu saw the location and probably guessed what the situation was, the death of the grassland was undoubtedly attacked by a lion, and the other should have been the man who was captured by the chimpanzee before was attacked and killed when he escaped from the forest.
"Two people? How is this death toll so familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere. Xu Wu frowned, constantly thinking. I always feel like I can almost think of where I've heard this number.
"Two people, two people?" Xu Wu walked back and forth in the room, and the corner of his eye suddenly swept to a jar on the bookshelf. The brain seemed to be pierced by high-voltage electricity, and it instantly remembered.
"Yes, the couple said that her cousin, they were also two people who died at the time. The thing is to go to an island to do a report. ”
Xu Wu's face was a little solemn and a little excited.
If his island is really the one that suddenly appeared, then what can he do?
Transform the island into a tourist destination? Become a true island owner. Or by virtue of the function of genetic adjustment, it will become a mecca for new species to experiment?
Even if you don't care about these high-end ones, even if it just becomes an agricultural product exporter, it's a good idea.
But if the news report is really about his island, then what happened on the island is also true, and this matter must be resolved.
Xu Wu swallowed the toast into his stomach in two bites, picked up his phone and began to flip through it.
"That magazine seems to be called a geography magazine? Huaxia Geography? It doesn't seem to be that. Baidu. ”
Xu Wu Baidu went to the Geography magazine, and the first to come out was the National Geographic Magazine of China. I clicked on it and found that there was no report in his memory.
He changed a keyword, trying to rely on "mysterious island" and "new island" to find the previous report.
The report of the previously discovered island has been found, and it has been reprinted on some small public accounts.
Xu Wu relied on constantly copying the original text and Du Niang, and finally found the official website of the niche geography magazine.
I decisively collected it, and by the way, I saved the screenshot of the previous island report.
"Banyan Tree... Cedar... It looks like my island, is that really the case? Pterodactyl? I'm the owner of the island. Xu Wu's heart was happy, and he was even more happy when he saw the words praising the island in the magazine, as if he had just honey.
kept scrolling down, closing small advertisements one by one, but I couldn't find the report I was looking for, and even a search on the site couldn't find a report about five people in distress on the island.
Speaking of which, the woman seemed to have said that her cousin's report was not approved. So is it really completely unreported. ”
Xu Wu flipped through the message area of the magazine, looked at the few messages he had read before, and thought about where to find the previous landing of the five people on the island.
Why don't you just ask me and find the contact information.
I opened the staff introduction of the magazine, but found that I couldn't find the phone at all. There are only names such as director, editor-in-chief, etc., but the phone number cannot be found. But it's normal to think about it, after all, a phone number is actually a type of private information.
Then click on the contact us option, only to find that there is only a zip code and address. There is no phone, no online customer service, and the only thing written online is online submission.
"What's the matter?,Why do other people's official websites have an online customer service or leave contact information!Does the company not even have a public phone?"
Xu Wu scolded twice at the mobile phone, never expected that this magazine would be so hidden, and there was not even a way for outsiders to contact them.
How did he find the reporter? What was her name, how much phone number she had, where she lived? He didn't know anything, the only thing he knew was where she worked.
How do you usually find someone at this time? call the police, call 114, or do you want to do a human flesh search?
"Phantom Moon, did you say that you can find any information on the Internet?"
Xu Wu suddenly remembered such a sentence, as if it was said by Phantom Moon herself before.
Phantom Moon nodded, and replied calmly: "The Internet here is like no locked space for me, I can enter it anywhere." ”
Xu Wu seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and said with a fluttering eyebrow: "Then can you help me find this reporter?" Well, I only know that she has worked in this magazine and has participated in the exploration and reporting activities of the new island before. Can you find out?"
Xu Wu also seemed to feel that his request was a bit excessive, and he touched his head and said with some embarrassment: "I also know that some strong people are difficult, it's okay, it's okay if you can't find it." ”
Phantom Yue's face gradually couldn't hold on, and she snorted twice: "What do you mean you can't find it? You know how can her work unit not be able to find her personal information? Do you look down on me?"
After speaking, Phantom Moon closed her eyes, opened them again after two seconds, and said to Xu Wu: "I only said it once, remember it, her name is Zhao Lei, and her phone number is 137...... 8843, she no longer works for this magazine. The home address is...... On the 4th, my birthday is May 4th......"
After a pause, Phantom Moon said again: "The height is 162, and the measurements are ......."
"Stop, stop, how did you find so much? Do you even have a person's height and measurements on the Internet?" Although Xu Wu also wanted to know the data in Phantom Yue's mouth, out of respect for others, he still stopped Phantom Moon's mouth.
Phantom Moon's expression was very proud: "This kind of thing is very simple, it took me a second to find out her information in the original company, and another second to conquer her home computer, through the analysis of the files and photos in her computer, this information is naturally at my fingertips." ”
"Awesome, Phantom Moon, the Internet is really your back garden, what information you need to find in the future depends on you. I called first. Xu Wu gave a thumbs up to Phantom Moon, then picked up his phone and dialed the number provided by Phantom Moon.
Although Phantom Moon said that she only said it once, she was very considerate and sent the number directly to his mobile phone.
"Duh... Honk. Hello, I'm Zhao Lei, who are you?" A very special voice came from the phone, it was a somewhat neutral voice, so that Xu Wu almost couldn't tell the gender.
"Hello, I'm Xu Wu, Xu Huang Xu, Zhi Gewu. Excuse me, may I ask, have you participated in the exploration of mysterious islands before?" Xu Wu went straight to the point after introducing himself.
didn't answer immediately, and after hesitating, a voice came out of the mobile phone again: "Are you a reporter?"
Xu Wu's heart suddenly changed, and he didn't know why the other party would ask such a question. What if the answer is not?
After thinking about it for a while, she asked me if I was a journalist, why did she care about the identity of the person she asked in the first place, because it couldn't be revealed at will, or was it because the person she wanted to ask was a journalist?
By the way, she was also fired, how would she feel at this time? Probably angry, unwilling. If so, it's not surprising that there's a sense of revenge. So now she wants to be interviewed by reporters to get her things justice?
"Well, I heard about you, and I finally called your number, so I wanted to interview you. Can this conversation be recorded?" Xu Wu replied after weighing one or two.
"Yes, you ask. ”
"Then I'll start asking the first question, is the island you went to the new tropical island?" Xu Wu gradually entered the play, and kept thinking about what state he should be in now, what he wanted to know, and why he was looking for the other party.
"Yes, I was still working at Geo Magazine at the time, and I was given a new job assignment to go on a field trip to the mysterious island. ”
"Are you alone? Isn't that dangerous? Isn't your magazine too inhuman?"
"No, no, I'm also a journalist, although I was very unwilling to be fired, but at least I can't blame the magazine in terms of arrangement. At that time, there were a total of five people, including a special wilderness survival expert, a captain who was familiar with the route, a female colleague from the magazine, who was in charge of photography, and a bodyguard at a high price, who was born in special forces. In this regard, the magazine has been very responsible. ”
"With such a lineup, it stands to reason that you should have a good report, why did I hear that you were fired, and even died, did it happen on the island?"
With a sound of inhalation, even through the mobile phone, Xu Wu could see the other party's panicked expression.
"That island, that island, is dangerous. After the five of us went up, we were going to live on it for a week, make a map, take pictures of the flying strange creatures, and then go back. However, on the first day of landing on the island, the field expert fell ill with the bodyguards. ”
As if caught in a memory, the voice paused for a moment, and then continued: "After that, I encountered a herd attack that night, and I remember that there was a wolf howl, and on the way to escape, the wild survival expert was directly bitten to death. Emi was so frightened that she fell to the ground softly, and I pulled her to escape. ”
"We finally survived until the next day, and we didn't dare to stay on the island anymore, so we took advantage of the day and fled directly to the place where we went ashore. But Emi she, oh, my former colleague, was also sick, very sick. As soon as we arrived at the beach, we were attacked again, and Emi was taken away directly, and even the camera equipment was robbed. ”
"After narrowly escaping death, we got on the boat and left the island. It's also miraculous, as soon as you leave the island, the symptoms on the special forces will miraculously disappear. That island is Devil's Island at all, and there must be a terrifying virus on it. I wanted to write a report warning people not to go there, but the director wouldn't send it to me, and even said I didn't go up at all. My colleagues were also wondering if I was jealous of Emi and killed her. I, even if I had a little conflict with her, I couldn't have done anything like that. ”
"After that, I had a falling out with the people at the magazine, and then I was fired. I've been to a lot of media outlets, and I've submitted a lot of papers, but no one believes me. Do you believe me?"
Desperate, even with a crying tone, Xu Wu couldn't say a second sentence.
He just nodded lightly and replied, "Well, I believe." ”
A happy voice came from the phone: "Well, great, where can I see your report? That island is really too dangerous, and I shouldn't go up again." ”
I'm not a reporter at all, so how can I give her justice?
