Section III. Cannibalism
Is this man also ...... It's not that he's here with ZERO, so I think I can believe it.
Brafi thought to himself, and then said.
"Ah...... No. I don't always come here, but Wall knows better about the situation here, because he's in charge of monitoring everything on the cableway. Wall, tell him about the situation. ”
Wall nodded.
"To be honest, this is the first time we've seen someone on a scale like today, so that's why I asked for support from the rear.
We also lived for a long time in the original fourth area, and most of the food came from this sea area, and there was occasional high tide, but it was also small-scale, but at high tide, there were marine creatures washed ashore, which was also an unexpected gain for us.
But I've never seen a creature so big and so strange as it is today.
Think about the oceans that have been 'polluted' since that nuclear leak.
And the arrival of Edla's bastard exacerbated the death of the ocean.
When they stayed in the Fourth District, they did some experiments with our people, Dr. Braffei's legs, and my wife......
In addition to us, they have also modified many animals.
The animal doctors experimented with people and animals, animals and animals, people and people, and if they didn't die on the spot, the humanoid chimeras were put to fend for themselves in the rocky mountains and desertified areas behind the Fourth Sector. If the two of you go from that side, you're likely to be treated as a meal for those monsters.
Then the chimera in the form of a marine animal was put into the ocean by them. And they have dumped experimental drugs into the ocean many times.
There are so many creatures now, they must have caused it!
What you see now can only be regarded as moderate, that terrible sea overlord has not yet appeared, as long as it appears, these are nothing. Every time Wall recalls the hunters, especially his wife, who was transformed into a monster and banished, he feels uncomfortable......
"The overlord of the seas you're talking about is that giant nautilus?" Zhuge Xun asked.
Although he knew that letting him say this might remind him of those sad things, the most important thing at the moment was intelligence, this happened to him and Ling as soon as they arrived in District 4, and if they didn't have a complete grasp of the current situation, they couldn't help the people in District 4 solve the things they were facing.
Ling is easily driven by emotions, and this time the matter also involves the Hunters Association, I am afraid that Ling will not be able to control his emotions at that time.
His current body is not his own, and the fool......
Listening to Zhuge Xun's question, Wall nodded. It seems that Brafi also spoke to the two men about Herman.
The crowd continued to observe the situation on the other side of the sea.
This time, the tide only reached the bushes, and because of the force of the sea, the smaller creatures on the shore were brought back to the ocean by the low tide, leaving only the creatures that could stand on the surface of the sea on the shore.
After the low tide just now, there are only large crabs, sea scorpions, and six-legged creatures left on the shore.
Through a telescope, you can see what a creature that can stand on the surface of the sea looks like.
That monster, you can call it a monster! I saw that it had a flat and slender body, supported by three pairs of slender feet, and the tallest foot could be about a meter long.
Because of the competition for places, the three forces on the coast are now fighting each other, and the sea scorpion is at a disadvantage, because it is shorter than the other two, so it is easier to attack.
Small scorpions are bitten by larger crabs. Larger scorpions will also use their tails to attack smaller crabs, while scorpions and crabs of equal size will use their crows to attack each other.
And the creatures that can stand on the surface of the sea will attack crabs and scorpions. When attacking, the creature uses its two forefeet to immobilize its prey, and then uses a needle-like mouth to pierce the prey to suck it.
Scorpions are weaker, but scorpions will use their claws to pinch the feet of that creature, but they are still weak.
Crabs have a hard shell with sharp horns, and it is difficult for the mouth of that creature to pierce the shell, while the crab will mercilessly cut off the foot of the creature and then send the immobile creature into its mouth.
Anyone who saw these scenes through the binoculars on the side of the ropeway didn't feel a cold sweat, those creatures were larger than people, and if they reached the crowd, the person probably didn't even have a chance to resist.
"Kaoru, do you know the creature that can stand on the surface of the sea?" Ling asked Zhuge Xun, he should know more, and he first said the name of the nautilus.
"Well, if it's a hundred times smaller, I still know, because it's very common, in a lake or river, that creature's name is 'water strider', but it's hard to imagine how it appeared when it's so big. It must have something to do with that Edla's experiments here.
Now that it's getting dark, I don't know if there will be other monsters at night. The kind of nautilus we saw earlier is very fond of moonbathing. Zhuge Xun said.
"Oh no!" I don't know who shouted and drew everyone's attention.
A soldier pointed to the plains.
The people looked over to the plains, and saw crabs and scorpions coming through the woods to the plains. And the water strider, which is magnified a hundred times, is still on the shore because of the obstruction of the woods.
In addition to the weather and the transition of day and night in the protective circle, the days outside are very short and the nights are very long.
It had only been a few minutes, and it was already completely dark. Because there are fewer artificial light sources here, the visibility is also very low, and it is still cloudy, so there are fewer places to see, and night vision binoculars cannot see clearly.
The guards of the ropeway have lit torches and searchlights to ensure a light source. The light source here guarantees visibility up to 200 meters ahead.
"We can't grasp the situation in the plains now." Wall said. His men are now busy carrying ammunition and weapons from the opposite side and putting them in the hole.
"It's okay for now, those geysers on the plains have helped us stop their progress." Zhuge Xun said.
"What smells so good?" People smell the smell of meat.
"It seems that the erupting geyser cooked the creatures that had accidentally stepped into the mouth. The temperature of that steam geyser can be very high. Sami explains where the scent comes from.
Smelling the scent, people already feel a little hungry.
"There's nothing going on here for the time being, Dr. Brafi, you and the shift changers should go back first." Sammy said.
"Yes, I'll just come here, your body, you better go back to the fourth district first. If there's something, we'll fix it too. Ling said to Brafi.
"Okay. Sammy, you help ZERO and his friends get something to eat. I'll come back tomorrow morning. After Brafi finished explaining, he took the ropeway back to the fourth district.
Someone brought water and food for Ling and Zhuge Xun.
After the two of them took it, they walked to the back and sat down to rest for a while.
"What do you think of the current situation?" Ling took a sip of water and asked Zhuge Xun.
