Chapter 1349: Horror Parasitism (2)
The branch in his hand hooked the dead fish's body and slowly hooked it to the shore.
Charlene, with an intellectual face, looked at her surroundings. This creek is only three meters wide, and the waterway is not deep, judging from the clear bottom of the river, the deepest should only reach the **** position of people. When the sun shines, the surface of the water reflects the sparkling and clean color. It's just that this clean and quiet smell is filled with a large number of dead fish at this moment, revealing a trace of disharmony.
"It's disgusting!" Zhou Yan and the others saw Dongming scooping up the fish corpse from the water, and immediately took a few steps back in disgust.
Zhang Min even said: "Bastard Zhang Ming, before you wash your dirty hands, get away from the old lady." ”
"There's something weird about this fish dead." Dong Ming threw the dead fish to shore, and the fish carcass bounced a few times on the ground, leaving behind some moist and slimy liquid.
"What's weird?" Charlene looked at the fish corpse curiously. This is a common yellow cat, and in some places it is also called a knife fish. The body of the fish is twenty centimeters long, and its body, which was once yellow, has now become gray and full of life. The sun shone on the fish, and the girl faintly felt that a black hole had been created around the fish, a thin black hole. The black hole is desperately absorbing sunlight.
She rubbed her eyes, and the fish corpse turned back to a normal fish corpse, which seemed to be no different from the one slaughtered in the market. Is it a delusion?
Charlene touched her hair and didn't care.
"I don't think I've ever eaten this fish before." Li Qing glanced at the fish corpse on the ground a few times and asked.
"It's called yellow cat, and it tastes pretty good. However, I think there is something wrong with it. Charlene suddenly remembered something, and her pretty brows furrowed slightly.
"What's the problem?" Zhou Yan saw that the well-informed Charlene was puzzled, and couldn't help but be curious.
"Look at the catfish, they generally like rivers and lakes with relatively deep water, and it is impossible for such a narrow stream to be possible, except when it is time for the catfish to spawn. They're like a safer place. However, due to the climate, the catfish near our cities lay eggs late, and the breeding season is usually in July. What's more, the creek is too clean and doesn't have much silt, which doesn't match the conditions needed for yellow catfish to spawn. Charlene picked the fish carcass with her numbers and looked at the water again.
Fiercely, the girl pushed Dongming: "Xiao Ming, you go and get that fish for me." ”
Dongming didn't know what to do, but he was still happy to do what the beautiful girl ordered. So it took a lot of effort to fish up the fish carcass that Charlene pointed out.
It is a fish with no scales, but a flat head and a large mouth. It is about thirty centimeters long and has several long whiskers around its mouthparts. Li Qing raised his hand and shouted excitedly: "I know this fish, it's a catfish, right?" It was the first time I had seen a catfish in the wild. When I was a child, I ate catfish hot pot, and I thought that catfish only grew in hot pot ingredients. Hehe. ”
"It's a catfish." Charlene nodded, her eyes becoming more complicated. Looking at the other fish on the surface of the lake, the eyelashes fluttered through the big eyes of the glasses, and the expression was uneasy: "I found that the dead fish in the stream are not the fish that should grow in this stream." The growth environment of catfish needs to have thick silt, but although this creek has reeds, the silt is very shallow, and it does not have the environment to breed catfish more than 30 centimeters long. What's more, there are many kinds of fish that die, all of them are adult and large, and there is not a single juvenile fish. It's so hard to explain! ”
"Really, there isn't a single small fish at all." Zhou Yan and the others snatched the telescope hanging on Dongming's neck and took a closer look, and actually found that a large number of dead fish floating on the stream were of all kinds, all of which belonged to the stage of their respective species with the highest age and vitality.
The only thing these fish carcasses have in common is that there are no traces on the corpses that can determine the cause of death. Charlene checked it a little and felt that it didn't look like poisoning. It's strange, how on earth did a large number of fish die? How did the fish that shouldn't have appeared in the stream come to be?
"Dongming, this stream is a tributary of the Yuanling River, and it will eventually flow into the Yuanling Reservoir, right?" Charlene asked after thinking for a moment.
"Not bad." Dongming nodded: "When I was a child, I heard my grandfather say that a reservoir would be built downstream, and everyone in the village ran to protest. That should be the Yuanling Reservoir. It is said that many people died during the construction of the reservoir. ”
"It's even weirder." Charlene was silent for a long time.
"What's strange, there are a lot of fish in the reservoir, and the fish in front of us that you said should not appear should swim up the river from the reservoir." Zhang Min looks like a famous detective, and he is very proud of his reasoning.
"Theoretically, yes, but in practice, I think that even if there are a lot of fish in the past, they can only swim from the reservoir location." Charlene found it difficult to explain her thoughts to the uninformed girls around her: "But, why? ”
"What, Linlin, you've been getting weirder and weirder since you saw the fish corpse." Zhou Yan touched her forehead: "I don't have a fever." ”
Dongming is worthy of being a boy, and his comprehension ability is slightly stronger. He asked tentatively, "Charlene, do you mean why these fish are swimming against the current and running into the stream?" ”
"Yes, that's what it means!" Charlene nodded vigorously: "I don't understand, why did the fish that were originally alive in the reservoir run into the creek." If you look at the fish carcasses all over the river, all we see is floating down the river. I don't know how many of them are desperately going upstream. Don't you think it's weird? Why are they desperately trying to swim up the mountain? ”
"Could it be that there's something upstream that attracts them?" Zhang Min's eyes lit up: "Could it be that in broad daylight, a treasure was born?" Will those who get it become immortals? ”
"Idiot, you've seen too much cultivation, and you've gone mad." Li Qing rubbed his head and expressed helplessness about his friend's idiotic behavior.
"I'm just talking, why take it seriously. I'm not really brain-dead. Zhang Min muttered and pursed his lips.
"Xiao Min is right, there must be something upstream!" Charlene's big eyes kept blinking, as if trying to figure out what was upstream.
The five of them fell into the cold at the same time, each thinking about their own thoughts.
"Why don't we go upstream?" Dongming asked in a low voice.
"No, what if there's danger." Charlene objected.
"But what if there is a treasure? If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, maybe we can get rich overnight. Zhang Min's eyes were bright, this high school girl with otaku attributes is still fantasizing about the adventures in Xiuzhen.
