Yan Fei divided the working group into ten teams, two people in each team, and also divided the Axe River into ten sections, each team was responsible for a section of the Axe River to conduct an investigation, Yan Fei herself took her student Wang Hai to the Zhongba Reservoir under the protection of the Municipal Armed Police Headquarters, this location is believed to be the place where the incident originated, but when Yan Fei arrived at the Zhongba Reservoir, she was immediately a little disappointed.

Zhongba Reservoir is located in a low-lying area between two hills, both of which are not very high, and the hills are mostly rocky and have very few trees, which looks like a barren mountain.

The storage capacity of the entire reservoir is about one million cubic meters, which is a small reservoir, although Yan Fei has already checked the information of the Zhongba Reservoir, she was also disappointed after seeing this situation, how could there be a phagocytosis gene in this kind of place?

The other is the reaction of the villagers, the villagers here still do farm work, there is no fear on their faces, Wang Hai went to the village and chatted with the villagers for a while, and learned that the villagers did not know about the giant beast incident at all, which undoubtedly shows that the previous guess of the research office of the Provincial Academy of Sciences was wrong, and the Zhongba Reservoir is definitely not the source of the giant beast incident.

"Teacher? So what to do? Wang Hai is also a doctor of biology, but he still has little experience, and he can only ask his mentor when he encounters this kind of thing.

"Since the Zhongba Reservoir is not the source, then go downstream along the reservoir, there is a river called the Shallow Water River, which leads to the Axe Creek River, the Zhongba Reservoir is not the source, and the Shallow River should not be wrong."

Yan Fei's idea was indeed right, and the group walked downstream along the shallow river, and after walking for a few miles, they found the clue.

"Teacher, the river in front of you is blocked by aquatic plants."

Standing on the bank of the river and looking downstream, I saw that the surface of the river was full of green peanut vines, covering the entire river, and the river could not see the gaps, and the river water flowed from the bottom, as if it had flowed into the mouth of a giant beast.

Yan Fei observed the surrounding environment, there were rice fields, which proved that there were people nearby, but there were many weeds in the rice fields, as if no one had come to clean them up for a long time.

"Teacher, it doesn't seem right, the outbreak of the giant beast incident is a matter of the past two days, and now the rice is about to be harvested, and the farmers have no reason to let these weeds grow in the rice fields, teacher, you see, these rice are almost ripe."

"Well, it's true, farmers work hard to farm, if it is not for no way, it will never be ignored, everyone will look at where there are farmers, let's go over and ask."

Wang Hai is the four armed policemen who protected Yan Fei were separated when they heard this, and soon found that there was a family not far away, and Yan Fei went with someone.

There was a rural woman sitting at the door of the family, and a small baby, and there was a black dog lying in the yard, and the black dog began to bark when he smelled someone approaching.

The woman looked up and saw Yan Fei and her party, and she was a little scared, but the clothes worn by the armed police made her calmer a little, and the woman had no knowledge and could recognize that she was a soldier.

"What are you doing?"

"Sister-in-law, we came from out of town, and I asked you something?" Yan Fei stepped forward and said in a harmonious voice.

Yan Fei was full of gorgeous hair, and the scholarly atmosphere was quite strong, and the women looked at Yan Fei, and the vigilance in their hearts disappeared.

"Oh, you ask, big girl."

"Sister-in-law, just now we passed by the shallow river, and saw that the nearby paddy fields were full of weeds, and many of them were not taken care of, is it because there is not enough labor in the countryside?"

"Which paddy field?" A flute for women.

"It's those paddy fields over there, it's all grass, and the river is full of peanut vines, and they all cover the river." Yan Fei pointed to where he had just come.

The woman smiled: "What's possible, my man only went there two days ago or three days ago to see it, where is there grass in the field, now the rice is going to be harvested, there may be grass in the miscellaneous, are you mistaken?" ”

Wang Hai couldn't help it: "Eldest sister, how could we be wrong, are you mistaken?" Just the paddy fields in front, the weeds are called barnyard grass, and they all cover the rice, and if they are not removed, it is estimated that this year's harvest will be greatly reduced. ”

The woman was also a little confused, thought for a while and said, "Why don't you wait a while, my man will go to fetch water and will come back soon." ”

As he was talking, a man came over with a bucket, and saw that there was someone at the door of the house, the man was a little puzzled, and the woman greeted him, "Lao Luo, these people seem to be from the city, this big man said that he passed by the paddy field by our river just now, and saw that it was full of weeds, did you remove it once a few days ago?" ”

"yes, just three days ago." The farmer surnamed the man was very sure that because he had gone to visit his relatives the day before yesterday and came back last night, and weeding was the day before yesterday, so he remembered it clearly.

Wang Hai was anxious when he heard this, why is this peasant like this, he must have remembered it wrongly, can so many of us still be wrong? It's really a joke, just wanted to speak, Yan Fei shook his head at him: "It may be someone else's field, this big brother, do you have time now, or we will take you to see, you can see which family's field it is, so that we can inform them, we can't look past it when we see that the field is full of grass." ”

"Ah, that's fine, you guys wait a minute, I'll pick the water into the tank."

The man surnamed Luo quickly finished it, and then followed Yan Fei and the others to the river, and the group hurried away silently, Yan Fei was thoughtful.

When he arrived at the river, the man surnamed Luo looked at the situation in the river, and his mouth suddenly opened wide, "How is it possible?" ”

"What do you mean?" Wang Hai asked.

"I also weeded two days ago, why did the grass grow so tall? And what's wrong with this river? The peanut vine was not there for the first two days. ”

"You mean here or the river two days ago? There are no weeds in the fields? Yan Fei asked.

"yes, yes." The man surnamed Luo walked to the edge of a field, stretched out his hand and plucked a barnyard grass, and said very curiously: "It's strange, this field is our paddy field." ”

"Did you know that a big event had happened in the past two days?"

"What's the matter?" The man surnamed Luo had a confused face on his face.

Yan Fei smiled: "It seems that you don't know, big brother, big brother, you better hurry up and weed, otherwise this year's rice harvest will be affected." ”

The man surnamed Luo nodded hurriedly, grain is the meat of the farmers' hearts, seeing that his own field has become like this, his mind is now on it, where can he manage that there is no big thing, for them, the harvest in their own field is a big thing, and everything else is floating clouds.

Waiting for the man surnamed Luo to turn around, Yan Fei suddenly asked, "Big brother, are there usually big fish in this river?" ”

"Big fish?" The man surnamed Luo thought for a while and said: "Oh, I remember when you say it, there are really big fish, the Lin family baby in the shallow bay in front caught a big black fish a few days ago, that big one, you want to buy it, right?" Then you go forward, and then you go to the hillside and look ahead, you can see a large bamboo forest, and there is a repulse bay, and if you walk along the river, you can also get there, it is far away. ”

"Cheng, then thank you, big brother."

After the man surnamed Luo left, Wang Hai said suspiciously: "Teacher, this farmer shouldn't be deceiving, right?" ”

"Why do you think that?"

"How can the barnyard grass grow so tall in less than two days?"

"If you think about the Behemoth incident, it all makes sense." Yan Fei said earnestly: "We can't ignore plants just because the animals are huge, if I guess correctly, the phagocytosis gene also has an impact on plants, and it is the same effect, but because animals can devour each other, the effect comes quickly, relatively speaking, plants are much slower, but this is only relative, if you put it aside, in fact, the growth rate of plants is also quite scary, that big brother must not be lying, it has only been two days, and the barnyard grass in the field has grown to two meters high, On average, one meter has grown in a day, and this rate is terrifying. ”

"Because animals can devour each other, they can grow more than ten meters a day, but there should be a limit, but plants have no limit, so don't you say that in just ten days, a small sapling can grow into a big tree more than ten meters high? What if it could reach more than 100 meters in 100 days? Sky. Wang Hai was frightened by his own speculation.

"Whether this is the case or not will take time to verify, and now we can be sure that the shallow river should be the source of the devouring virus, but where the virus is, we need to find out."

"Teacher, in fact, if this virus can really make plants grow quickly, this virus is very good, if there is this virus in the desert, then the desert will soon become an oasis, how much manpower and material resources will be saved."

"It's not up to us to do what the engulfing virus can do, all we can do is find it out, that's all." Yan Fei said earnestly.

When he climbed to the top of the mountain and looked at the large bamboo forest, Wang Hai exclaimed: "What a paradise." ”
