Chapter 29: First Glimpse (2)
Bavsky thought for a moment and said, "It's impossible to draw conclusions about whether it's good or bad at the moment. As for that, it's not all what Uren means. I can assume from two things. ”
"First, Uren has been breeding for more than five generations, and the genetic lock we set up has been triggered, and Uren has all of his genes collapsed and perished. However, there are creatures that eat the flesh of the dead Urun, and they gain a portion of Urun's power. For example, brain waves can be emitted. ”
"What's even more terrifying is that these creatures don't have genetic locks! They will reproduce naturally, and due to natural selection, the new abilities they acquire will be inherited, and if they are conducive to survival, they will be strengthened from generation to generation!"
"Therefore, after thousands of years of continuous strengthening, the strength of this part of the mutant creatures has far surpassed that of Ulun!"
"Luckily, maybe they belong to different populations and have had fierce battles with each other, so there aren't many of them. Later, they may continue to fight, and their numbers will continue to decrease. ”
"Second, Ulun crossed with snakehead in the water to create new populations that evaded genetic locks. This is very likely. As for the decrease in numbers and the increase in individual strength, it is also very likely that it is caused by intra-population and inter-species rivalries. ”
Wang Xiaotian asked, "So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of these two possibilities for us?"
"If the first possibility is that Uren is all dead, and the brainwave creatures that can be emitted now are other creatures, then this outcome will be better for us," Bafsky analyzed. ”
"Because there is the possibility of hunting each other between different populations, if there are suitable conditions, they can be exterminated from each other, and then we will find a way to pick up the cheap. ”
"If it's the second species, Ulun crosses with wild snakeheads to form a new population. Compared with wild snakeheads, Ulun only strengthens certain organs and acquires certain abilities, and there is no reproductive isolation. If the two were to be crossed, Uren's abilities would certainly be passed on to new descendants. ”
"In other words, if it is the second possibility, we are facing an Ulren who is countless times more powerful than it was more than a thousand years ago! ”
"Because in Lake Bugar, Urun has no natural predators. Moreover, they don't kill each other unless food is scarce, which makes it several times more difficult for us to deal with them. ”
Wang Xiaotian couldn't help but complain in his heart, one Ulun is enough to wipe us out, okay?
He resisted the urge to continue complaining and translated Pavsky's words to the crowd. After hearing this, everyone was shocked again.
Zhang Zijing asked, "How can we be sure that this is the case?"
"It's impossible to go to the lake now, and it's impossible to see it with your own eyes," said Bavsky. I can only use the brainwave instrument and try to peek quietly. ”
"However, there is still a high risk that if you are not careful, you will be detected by them, and if they lock on, if you release the brainwave shock, the person who uses the brainwave will also be violently shocked. ”
Bavsky said this, paused, and continued: "So, I decided to wear the brainwave monitor myself to peep. I need ......"
Wang Xiaotian hurriedly said, "No." Mr. Bafsky, you can't peep in person. You are the only one who is most familiar with all the equipment here, and none of us can operate it. One of us should be chosen, using a brainwave and under your direction, to take a peek at the creatures in the lake. ”
Bafsky listened and bowed his head and groaned. Because what Wang Xiaotian said is also the truth. While he was using the brainwave machine, he was unable to operate other equipment. When something unexpected happens, the others can only be in a hurry.
While Bavsky was thinking, Wang Xiaotian said to everyone: "Mr. Bavsky said that he would personally take a brainwave monitor and peek into the lake. I refused. I told him that we would pick someone with a brain wave and peek under his direction. ”
Zhang Zijing said without hesitation: "I'll come." ”
Ye Jianjian glanced at Wang Xiaotian and didn't speak. He didn't want Wang Xiaotian, a little fool, to rush forward recklessly. As for who goes, as long as it is not him and Wang Xiaotian who go, the others are casual.
Wang Xiaotian suddenly said: "I think it's better for me to come." ”
Ye Jianjian immediately shouted: "No." ”
Everyone else saw Ye Zhanjian and didn't understand why he reacted so strongly.
Ye Zhanjian glanced at the others, fixed his mind, and said, "Except for you, we can't speak Mr. Bafsky's language." You bring the brainwave machine, what if we have something to do and need to communicate with him?"
Mo Li nodded and said, "Brother Ye is right. ”
The others also nodded, thinking that what Ye Jianjian said was reasonable.
Wang Xiaotian felt that what Ye Jianjian said was also reasonable, so he didn't continue to insist.
Seeing that they were no longer discussing, Bavsky asked, "Have you discussed the results?"
Wang Xiaotian nodded, "Yes, Grandmaster Zhang Zijing will bring a brainwave instrument." Please show him how to peek into the lake. ”
Bafsky nodded in agreement, then pointed to his chair and said, "Please sit on him." ”
Wang Xiaotian invited Zhang Zijing to sit on the chair. Bafsky manipulated the adjustment button on the back of the chair, slowly lowered the brainwave instrument on the top of the chair, and accurately covered Zhang Zijing's head, dozens of sensor patches, tightly attached to the scalp.
Then, Bafsky turned on the switch on the brainwave monitor, went to the console, and pressed the upper button a few times.
At this time, the image on the right side of the big screen was instantly replaced with the shape of a helmet, with more than a dozen red dots on the helmet, which turned green in turn.
When all the red dots have turned green, a green dot appears on the map of Lake Bugal on the left, where the island is.
At this point, Bavsky said, "Let him think out of his mind and think about himself going out." ”
Wang Xiaotian immediately translated it to Zhang Zijing.
Then, everyone saw that the green dot on the left side of the big screen stretched out a thin line and spread forward.
Bafsky pointed to the big screen and said, "Xiao Tian, you see, this thin line is his consciousness, you command him, let him manipulate this thin line, enter near the red dot." Be careful not to run into the red dots, or you'll be spotted by the monsters. ”
Wang Xiaotian nodded, and then commanded Zhang Zijing to extend his consciousness to the nearest red dot.
When the thin green line was close to the red dot, Wang Xiaotian asked, "Sect Master Zhang, what do you see?"
Zhang Zijing said: "I'll look for it." There was nothing else around but a few small fish...... Wow, I saw it, there was a big fish, it was so big, it was almost like a mountain, tall and long. ”
Wang Xiaotian hurriedly said, "What does it look like?"
Zhang Zijing: "Its head is very round, its mouth is under the head, it is very long, and it stretches out far away. ”
Wang Xiaotian immediately described the shape of the fish to Bafsky. Bafsky was immediately on the console, and after a few drums, the big screen changed again.
The helmet pattern on the right is narrowed down to the lower right corner, and the empty space on the top has many patterns of creatures from top to bottom.
"Ask him to stop in a safe place and look at the pattern on the screen so he can make it easier to identify it," Bafsky said. ”
Zhang Zijing carefully checked the pattern on the screen, and quickly recognized that the huge fish he saw just now was the third in the pattern.
"The mutated dolphin at this time was also the inspiration for the creation of brainwave creatures at that time. It has a relatively docile temperament and is very aggressive. I think I'm a descendant of my test subject. ”
Bafsky let Zhang Zijing control his consciousness and continued to walk forward, approaching the second red dot, then the third, then the fourth.
It turned out that more than a dozen red dots near the island were all dolphins. There are long-nosed dolphins, finless porpoises, white-sided dolphins and other species.
Wang Xiaotian was very strange and asked, "Mr. Bafsky, why are these dolphins near the island?"
Bafsky thought for a moment and analyzed to everyone: "These dolphins should be the descendants of my experimental subjects at that time, on the one hand, they are more adapted to the living environment near the island. ”
"On the other hand, before the big bang, because Urun was affected by nuclear radiation and mutated, serious enough to threaten the safety of researchers and water monkeys, I ordered these dolphins to drive Urun away and forbid Urun to come near the island. Perhaps, they have carried out this order until now. ”
Wang Xiaotian said in surprise: "More than a thousand years have passed, and these dolphins have changed for at least several generations, and they can still carry out the original instructions?"
Bafsky nodded, "That's right. These dolphins are intelligent and loyal, and they will stick to the mission given to them. ”
Wang Xiaotian thought for a moment and said, "Then, can we use them to deal with other brainwave creatures?"
Bavsky shook his head and said, "These dolphins are kind and docile by nature, and even if they are enemies of Urun, they will only drive them away, not kill them. ”
"Well, of course, you can also think that these dolphins are too weak in combat. Uren has strong scales on its body, and these dolphins have no sharp teeth and can't kill Uren even if they want to, so they can only use brainwave interference to drive them away. ”
Wang Xiaotian couldn't help but be a little disappointed. These dolphins are loyal and obedient to commands, and if these dolphins can be used by them, wouldn't it be easy to concentrate the power of these dolphins and destroy the other brainwave creatures and eliminate the devil's whispers?
Zhang Zijing's consciousness continued to stretch forward. It soon stretched to the center of the lake.
On the big screen, there is a huge red dot. Wang Xiaotian hurriedly reminded Zhang Zijing: "Sect Master Zhang, there should be a huge creature near you, be careful. ”
Zhang Zijing looked for a long time nervously, and said: "No, except for a few eels with a body length of no more than two meters, there is a large group of small fish, and there is no big guy you said at all." And the terrain here is very flat, there is no place to hide. ”
Wang Xiaotian felt strange and immediately translated Zhang Zijing's words to Pavsky.
Bafsky thought for a moment and immediately said, "Be careful, that thing is likely to be lurking underground!"
Wang Xiaotian hurriedly translated the words.
Zhang Zijing listened and muttered: "The ground here is very, very flat, full of sand, and there is nothing abnormal at all...... I'll rub!"
Wang Xiaotian hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Zijing said: "Squid! It turned out to be a squid! It was buried in the sand, and just now a group of fish swam over, and it suddenly rushed out and sucked more than half of this group of fish into it at once!"
This squid is so big that it is more than 200 meters long, almost like a mountain. How did it hide in the sand? If I hadn't been reminded of it, I wouldn't have found it. ”
Wang Xiaotian translated these to Pavsky.
"Squid are mollusks that can turn themselves into a very thin layer and hide them in the sand, and they can also change the color of their bodies to make their disguise flawless," Bafsky said. ”
Bavsky said, glancing at the big screen and seeing the red dot representing the squid, which was flickering violently.
He immediately shouted, "Oh no! Its brain waves are being released violently, it may have noticed you, you should quickly find a way to hide, it is better to hide behind other fish, and do not touch it!"
Wang Xiaotian hurriedly told Zhang Zijing.
When Zhang Zijing heard this, he suddenly became nervous, and his body began to tense.
After a while, he suddenly said, "No! It looked at me, it seemed to see me, and its eyes were staring at me motionless, and its eyes were very large, and one pupil was bigger than my whole person." ”
"I wiped it, why didn't it leave? Oh no, it swam at me, what should I do?"
