Chapter 172: Dreams
Quentin had a dream that he had come to a strange place, full of strange bugs that he had never seen before, all of them of new species!
That dense insect is a nightmare for ordinary people, but for him, who has been a bug fan since he was a child, it is the Garden of Eden!
In Quentin's own words, who doesn't have a special hobby?
He went from a love of bugs, studied hard, and eventually became a biologist, who can say that this hobby is not good for him? Who's to say that his hobby doesn't make sense to him?
In the dream, he carefully landed on his feet, for fear that he would accidentally step on the insects surging on the ground, and bent down, he picked one up and observed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At first glance, it looked a little like a beetle, but its head was really hideous, Quentin took a closer look, and suddenly the corner above the head of this little insect actually sent out an electric arc!
Quentin's fingers were numb and released, and the bug fell.
He didn't wake up, after being electrocuted, the dream suddenly became more weird, he felt that the bugs were actually getting bigger and bigger rapidly, bigger and bigger, and finally, the bugs around him became the size of elephants, and farther away, there were huge bugs as big as a hill!
It's not a wonderful experience, and no matter how much Quentin loves bugs, he won't be so nervous that he will not change his face when he sees a bug the size of a mountain.
Quentin began to panic, he was helpless in the dream, running in all directions, but there were tree-like bug legs everywhere!
The bug's legs are full of sharp, shiny barbs!
Suddenly, the whole swarm was in a commotion, and almost all the bugs raised their heads and let out a shrill chirp.
"Ahhhh Quentin screamed too, of course, because his eardrums couldn't stand it.
Giant insects all over the ground, the number may be no less than millions, what does it feel like for so many insects to sing in your ears together?
Quentin felt like his body was going to be shattered by the incomparable cacophony of sounds! Before losing consciousness, he fell backwards and saw the sky, no, it wasn't the sky, it was the belly of a bug!
Just the belly of the worm obscures the entire sky!
"What the hell is that?" Quentin muttered to himself, then his eyes went dark.
………………
“wtf!?”
Quentin sat up from the bed suddenly, panting and sweating, and he looked around nervously to find that he was still on the boat, and then he was convinced that he had just dreamed.
Sweat soaked through the sheets, faintly smelling rancid, Quentin frowned, he had never been so sloppy, it seemed that he had been lying like this for a long time.
Also, as soon as I got on the boat, I started to get seasick, and now that a week has passed, in addition to forcing myself to eat and go to the restaurant, it is inconvenient to lie down all the time and get up, can I not be sloppy?
Thinking of seasickness, Quentin suddenly realized that he didn't seem to be dizzy now, and he felt very good.
A strange feeling came from his hand, and he looked down, and it turned out that he had been clutching the glass bottle when he was sleeping.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but he feels that the bug seems to have grown a little bit.
Speaking of this bug, he liked it very much, so he carried it with him, inseparable, he almost showed off his "treasure" to the whole ship, but unfortunately except for a few fellow biologists, no one else knew anything about the goods.
It was supposed to be a new species of bug that had never been discovered by humans, so he didn't know what it was feeding on, and he couldn't even be sure if it was a carnivorous insect.
Therefore, although Quentin himself has been seasick, he did not "snub" his "worm baby", he couldn't eat it himself, so he crumbled bacon, bread, vegetables and fruits and so on, and fed them to the worms.
Unfortunately, after searching all the things that could be eaten on the ship, this little insect was not interested, and he never ate a bite.
Since he didn't eat anything, not only did he not starve to death, but he also grew up a little, which is very weird.
Because he just had a nightmare about the swarm, Quentin somehow felt a little chill in his heart, and there shouldn't be any problems with this "fairy bug" in his hand, right?
As soon as this thought came to mind, a burst of colored light appeared on the "fairy bug", and Quentin's gaze was involuntarily attracted.
"How so? My fairy worms, what are those disgusting big bugs that can compare? Quentin picked up the glass bottle and kissed it on the wall!
……………………
McMurdo Station is the largest Antarctic research station in the United States and a logistics base for the United States in half of the Antarctic continent.
Today is the day of a routine inspection of the ice field near the Ross Sea, because by the end of September, a set of documentary footage will be completed, of course, this documentary is about the Antarctic ecosystem.
Today, they went to see if they could meet predatory seals, and it would be even better if they could photograph the clash between seals and penguins.
The helicopter landed on an ice shelf on the edge of the Ross Sea with a biologist on board, as well as five N TV personnel.
After getting off the plane, debugging the photographic equipment, the group walked towards the ice field.
Along the way, several people chatted and joked while searching, even if the cold environment could almost freeze the exhaled breath, it could not stop their enthusiasm - if they were lucky today, they would be able to go back and leave this cold place after shooting this set of shots!
"Hey! Jack, what's that? Harley, the head of the film crew, pointed to the ice in the distance and asked the biologist on the side: "It's black, is it a plastic bag?" ”
Biology expert Jack shook his head, who can see clearly from such a distance?
The lens of the photographer behind him can be adjusted, he is a Norwegian, a top photographer, and he was poached by n at a great price.
The Norwegian photographer seemed to see something surprising through the lens, shouting in English with a strong Norwegian accent: "Penguin! It's a penguin! ”
Harley was puzzled to hear that penguins are social animals, could it be that the photographer saw a lone penguin? Otherwise, there is an empty space in front of you, and if there is a colony of penguins, you can see it even if your eyes are bad, right? But as far as the eye can see, there is no penguin colony!
You know, on the snow-white ice field, the black fur on the penguin is very conspicuous!
"Where's the penguin?" Halley asked.
"It's over there!" The photographer pointed ahead, "What did you say...... Plastic bags, not ...... Plastic bag, is skin, penguin skin! He stuttered because he was in a hurry and his English was not proficient.
Harley chuckled inwardly, he had a bad premonition.
Several people quickened their pace and came to the side of the "plastic bag".
It's really not a black plastic bag, it's really penguin fur! (To be continued.) )
