The current location of the Lychee is in the western part of southern France. Unknowingly, the Lychee has been sailing on the sea for half a year.

At the beginning, the mutated creatures in the ocean still made everyone feel disgusting, of course, Ouyang Ji was an exception. However, after such a long time, even Chen Zhiming has become immune to the most disgusting multi-eyed mutant fish in the sea.

In addition to the daily fixed patrol tasks, the patrol team of six people also has a fixed task, that is, fishing.

Mutant fish can be used for experiments by Ouyang Ji, and normal or benign mutant fish can be sent to the kitchen to cook. What's more, the crew of the Lychee also has two pot-bellied arhats, one bottlenose dolphin and the other a budgie parrot.

Although they take care of most of the food themselves, the Lychee has to add a small dish to the kitchen in order to keep the two wild animals on a leash.

The favorite thing for the two pets to eat is grilled fish, but grilled fish is too troublesome and people are too busy, so Zhang Houde has to "improve" the process. That is, a large oil pot is directly raised, the sea fish is roughly cleaned up, thrown into the oil pan to fry, and after taking it out, it is directly smeared with sauce, which is a delicious dish. I didn't expect these two rammed people to prefer to eat this kind of fried food.

The efficiency of fishing rod fishing is too low, Zhao Fei directly eliminated this backward production method, and now the four-corner hanging nets are used for fishing on the Lychee, which is the original inventory on the Lychee, there are more than a dozen, and everyone doesn't know why there are so many fishing nets on the boat in the first place, maybe there are many fishermen among the fleeing people!

The hanging nets are large, square in shape, six meters wide, and in addition to the bottom of the net, there are also side nets two meters high on all sides. The hanging net is very heavy, and after putting down the water, it cannot be pulled up by manpower alone, and must be lifted with a winch.

There are two fishing helpers, and there is no need to place any bait to attract fish in the net, and every time the net is placed in the sea, the budgie shouts "yes" to itself while throwing the fish into the net.

Not to mention dolphins, with a length of more than 20 meters and a mouth the size of a door frame, they swim to the fish and open their mouths to suck and spit out, and dozens of catties of fish come.

The two pets not only did not regard fishing as labor, but as a daily game.

If the point arrives and no one has lowered the nets yet, the dolphin will alert the crew of the Lychee with its distinctive high-pitched dolphin sound.

Wang Zhigao made a new wing for Zhang Le, in addition to the material is different from the original, the design is more concise, and more importantly, the volume after folding becomes smaller, only needs to occupy one-third of the volume of an ordinary outdoor backpack, especially suitable for Zhang Le, a "grassroots coolie" who often has to attend.

Investigation is a very professional job, which requires not only the corresponding knowledge of the investigators, but more importantly, the ability to get out safely in a dangerous environment.

There are only ten people in the Ice Dragon base, and there are only five people who can choose from them, excluding three women, one science maniac, and one older cook. Among them, Wang Zhigao and Chen Zhiming's physical strength is too poor and they are not eligible. Then in the end, only Zhang Le, Wang Daqing and Li Jun were left to meet the conditions.

Zhang Le can fly, naturally as the main investigator, Li Jun is experienced, can also be a reconnaissance personnel, Wang Daqing temporarily as a response personnel.

The five of them discussed from morning to noon, and finally clarified their division of labor. After a period of inspection, the hidden dangers of the Lychee and the Ice Dragon base have been basically eliminated. In the future, the patrol work will still be the same as before, but each shift only needs to patrol one circle. Much of the remaining time could be spent on new reconnaissance work.

Wang Zhigao and Chen Zhiming were in charge of the logistical part of the investigation, and Wang Daqing, Li Jun, and Zhang Le were in charge of the forward investigation.

As soon as the few people in a corner of the deck had assigned their respective tasks, Ouyang Ji walked over.

"Let's go, Zhang Le, come with me to the Ice Dragon Base, I'll ask you something!" Ouyang Ji's expression was a little strange, a little confused, and a little excited, as if he had suddenly had some unexpected joy.

Seeing that Ouyang Ji didn't want to say more, Zhang Le waved goodbye to everyone, and then went to the Ice Dragon Base with Ouyang Ji.

When he arrived at the square of the Ice Dragon Base, Ouyang Ji stopped, he looked at Zhang Le, and asked with a serious face: "One night a few days ago, there was a piece of meat in the small bag of mutant fish you gave me, can you still remember what kind of meat this piece of meat is?" Where did you get it? ”

Zhang Le didn't expect the mutant lizard's tongue to actually arouse Ouyang Ji's interest.

Zhang Le glanced in the direction of the Lychee, and seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, he lowered his voice and said, "Teacher Ouyang, I said that you don't want to spread it." ”

Ouyang Ji helped his glasses and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that Zhao Fei's little girl knows?" Look at you, a big man, out of breath! Okay, I promise. ”

Although Ouyang Ji usually doesn't talk much, he is a real scientist, and he is not vain, and he has a reputation.

Zhang Le continued to whisper: "That night, didn't our boat pass near a small island, I was curious, so I stole a trip, and ran into a mutated lizard, I almost didn't come back, although I killed it in the end, but the wings were also lost, and I could only swim back." Originally, I couldn't catch up with the ice dragon base, but fortunately, on the way back, I ran into a dolphin, and I picked up a life! That piece of meat is the lizard's tongue. ”

Listening to Zhang Le's explanation of the front and back, Ouyang Ji nodded and said: "I guessed right, it's not a fish, the mutated lizard should be a chameleon, I found a complete gene chain with a very perfect evolution in the piece of meat you brought, I call it "Perfect Invisible Gene for Ectothermic Animals", I have done experiments on African giant snails, and the effect is very good, now the carrier is there, and I also used the nutrient solution for active reproduction of the lizard tongue, and the follow-up gene source is not lacking." ”

Zhang Le heard Ouyang Ji talk about a bunch of experiments, a little strange, and said, "That's good, congratulations to Professor Ouyang, but is this gene any use?" Is it used on people? Zhang Le showed a disgusted look.

Ouyang Ji smiled evilly and said, "What, you still dislike it?" You know where the recovery gene fragment in your body came from, it is a complete gene chain that is made up by combining the gene fragments of various organisms, which is worse than this perfect gene! After listening to this, Zhang Le only felt uncomfortable and itchy, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Ouyang Ji, and then flew away.

"Whoever you love, anyway, I will never inject this strange genetic medicine this time." Zhang Le swore secretly as he fled.

Ouyang Ji smiled and said to himself: "It's really a blessing in the midst of blessings, this is a perfect evolution gene, controllable, anyway, I won't waste this kind of good thing." ”

Due to the current uncertainty about the distance between the Lychee and the coast, Zhang Le has been reconnoitring in the direction of the mainland for the past few days, and the Lychee has also slowly moved along Zhang Le's reconnaissance defense line.

On the evening of the third day, Zhang Le finally saw the west coast of the European continent.

After confirming the distance, Zhang Le did not rush ashore, but returned to the Lychee fifteen nautical miles away.

After receiving the information from Zhang Le, the Litchi advanced five nautical miles in the direction of the coast, stopped and anchored.

On the second day, Li Jun, Zhang Le, and Wang Daqing, fully armed, set out for the coast in an amphibious electric boat in the twilight. Zhang Le's eyesight was basically unaffected at night and took on the job of a driver. Half an hour later, the land finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

When observing last night, Zhang Le vaguely saw the building, so the goal of the few people today is also very clear, that is, to directly reconnoiter the area with the building.

The men docked their boats at a reef by the sea, above which was a low cliff, and it was very remote and the scenery was not good, and even if there were humans nearby, they would not come to such a place.

Wang Daqing stayed behind, and Li Jun and Zhang Le went out to investigate.

Li Jun and Wang Daqing's eyesight was not enhanced, so both wore night vision glasses.

Under the cover of night, Zhang Le and Li Jun climbed a low cliff and walked about a kilometer of deserted fields.

The fields were full of mixed crops, grapes, wheat, and even black roses, but more of them were weeds.

Zhang Le committed an occupational disease again, and lowered his head to uproot a few low grape seedlings and a few black roses, and stuffed them into his backpack. The black rose was given to Zha Xiaoxia, and Zhang Le guessed that she would definitely like it.

After the field, a gravel road appeared, and a typical southern French town appeared a mile away.
