Chapter 36: New Life
That night, the Lychee stopped. The next morning, the sky was overcast. Except for Chen Dashao and Zhang Houde, everyone else on the Lychee set off for the accident site. Amphibious boats, small yachts, and a motorboat, the Litchi had only four motor boats in total, and three were dispatched at once.
The army of flying ants had left the shore. As soon as the crew of the Lychee arrived at the accident site, they began to dive and search. There are no diving aids such as oxygen cylinders on board, and it all depends on the strong body of the crew. It was only at this time that everyone understood the power of comprehensive genetic strengthening.
Zhao Fei and Zha Xiaoxia could stay in the sea at a depth of fifty to one hundred meters for two and a half hours. Zhuge Chen has received special training, and he can also stay in the water for more than half an hour. Ouyang Ji's physical fitness was unexpected, and he could actually stay in the water for about an hour. Wang Daqing and Wang Zhigao's performance is also much stronger than ordinary people, and they can stay in the water for about half an hour. The most surprising thing is Li Jun, after yesterday's incident, Li Jun's body seems to have undergone an evolution, and the time spent in the water has reached an astonishing hour and forty-five minutes, and he is almost catching up with Zhao Fei and Zha Xiaoxia, who are fully genetically strengthened.
The search and rescue range ranged from 100 meters to 1,000 meters, and then to 3,000 meters and 5,000 meters.
As the sun sets, it looks like it's about to fall above sea level. Everyone was exhausted, and they no longer had the strength to go down and search.
Zhao Fei sat silently on the bow of the small yacht, bent her knees and hugged her legs, leaned her chin on her knees, and watched the sunset blankly, motionless. Zha Xiaoxia stood on the side, sobbing silently.
When the last ray of light disappeared at sea level, Zhao Fei came back to his senses, let out a long breath, and said, "Let's go, I once swore that I would bring you all back to China, and I will do what I say!" After speaking, he raised his hand and asked everyone to set sail.
Everyone didn't know what Zhao Fei meant when he said this, but Ouyang Ji's eyes flickered.
That night, the Lychee set sail to continue its journey back to China.
Zhao Fei no longer arranged for anyone to go to the coast to collect intelligence, and the speed of the ship was also increased to five knots. Because of the big "drag" of the Ice Dragon Base, this is the maximum safe speed of the Litchi, and if it is faster, the Ice Dragon Base may fall apart. In the past, when the Lychee encountered mutated giant sea beasts, it would usually avoid and adjust its course. But now, the Litchi is all on a rampage, maintaining its best course, not caring at all if it clashes with the sea beast.
All the crew members have become violents, lions fight rabbits, and with all their strength, Zhang Houde, Li Jun, Wang Zhigao and Wang Daqing formed a hunting team.
Li Jun and Zhang Houde were responsible for violently breaking the defense, each of them had a 100-kilogram wolf tooth hammer newly made by Wang Zhigao, as long as there was a sea beast blocking the front of the Lychee, they jumped directly onto the body of the sea beast and smashed it violently. Although this method is not the best way to deal with sea monsters, it is the most stress-relieving behavior. Wang Zhigao and Wang Daqing's strength was slightly less, and they used the javelin that Zhang Le used to use most to attack the vulnerable parts of the sea beast.
This primitive and violent method of fighting makes every battle bloody and brutal, but at the same time, the combat power of several people has soared to a terrifying level.
If they encounter a sea creature that they can't deal with, Zha Xiaoxia or Zhuge Chen will go to Zhao Fei for help, and Zhao Fei will give them a small bottle of liquid, which is a biological virus developed by Zhao Fei in order to deal with giant crabs, this thing can infect all biological cells, so as to kill any living organism. However, in order to control its virulence, Zhao Fei limited the lifespan of the virus, and if it could not find a new cell host within six seconds, the virus would die naturally.
Just add a little bit of the virus stock solution to a crossbow with a special arrow and fire it with a powerful crossbow, and any huge mutated creature will slowly die in a wail, turning into a puddle of black water. When everyone saw this terrible virus for the first time, a boatload of people were scared silly, but fortunately, Director Zhao was not a person who did things without thinking about the consequences, and injected everyone with vaccines. Zhao Fei has developed a vaccine at the same time as developing the virus.
Two months later, when the Lychee came to the Indian Ocean, the Lychee began to become notorious, I don't know if it was because the side of the ship was stained with the blood of too many mutant marine creatures, or if there was a special connection between the mutated sea creatures.
The places below the surface of the Lychee and Ice Dragon bases are home to many small shellfish and algae and other marine organisms, which in turn attract small fish and shrimp, which in turn attract larger predators, and the underwater part of the entire Lychee and Ice Dragon bases has formed a small ecosystem.
Another month later, in March 2027, the Litchi sailed off the coast of the Otherness Strait, just about a month away from the South China Sea. One afternoon, Zha Xiaoxia brought out a five or six-year-old child from Zhao Fei's laboratory. This child is pink and cute, lively and active, the only drawback is that this child can't speak, can only scream.
Just when everyone was surprised who this child was, Zha Xiaoxia introduced: "This is Zhang Lele, he just came out of the nutrition tank for three days, and you will call him Lele in the future." With this explanation, everyone understood. Everyone took a closer look at their eyebrows, and they really looked a bit like Zhang Le, but they didn't seem to be exactly like Zhang Le, maybe because they hadn't grown up yet!
Now that the sea has almost become a forbidden area for humans, various mutated sea beasts have formed a new fixed race, and at the same time, in the vast and dangerous competitive environment of the sea, these sea beasts hunt each other and evolve stronger and stronger. The large giant ship has basically been destroyed in the nuclear war, and coupled with the promotion of the Anti-Mass Killer Alliance, the human beings without the protection of the strong ship, even the strengthened and mutant people do not dare to move freely in the sea.
Without the threat of mutant sea beasts and human harassment, the Lychee had a smooth ride, except for the occasional trip to a small island or near the coast to avoid typhoon weather, it basically drove in a straight line.
Now there is another lively and cute child on the ship, and the atmosphere that has been suppressed has begun to become a little more relaxed. Lele became the baby and pistachio of the whole ship, and the children learned to speak quickly, and soon the titles such as uncle and aunt were called.
In order to eat Lele, Zhang Houde picked up the kitchen knife he was once familiar with again, and changed his tricks to cook all kinds of food for children. After a brutal fight, Zhang Houde has lost weight into an ordinary middle-aged chubby man, and his flawless fat face is no longer so funny, and the murderous spirit and vicissitudes revealed in his eyes perfectly saved this face, and the developed chest, shoulders and back muscles that can't be stopped by clothes show the terrible power contained in this body all the time.
Zhao Fei is still very busy, except for doing experiments, eating and sleeping, and occasionally going out to amuse her.
Zhuge Chen saw that he was about to return to China, and his mood became complicated, and he often stood on the lookout for half a day.
Ouyang Ji returned to the appearance of a scientific madman, and the crew of the Lychee obtained countless samples of mutated marine organisms in the early stage, and Ouyang Ji found many new research topics.
Without the threat of mutant sea beasts, Li Jun, Wang Zhigao and Wang Daqing spent their time fishing, playing cards and basking in the sun, except for doing some internal affairs.
Zha Xiaoxia has become an "unmarried mother", and Lele's naughty little eat, drink, and sleep has become Zha Xiaoxia's job. However, Lele is very smart, and in less than a week he learned to take care of himself, and even trained the budgie to be a little brother, if it wasn't for everyone to stop him, the little guy would have already ridden the parrot to the sky.
Even Chen Zhiming, who has always been unhappy, became happy because he was about to return to China.
