44. 'Dates'

What is it like to have a boring time at sea waiting for one? Daum Cobb will tell you that it's like lying in an irregular cradle and shaking.

And what is very unpleasant is that this 'cradle' can't stop......

Daum Cobb has some mild seasickness, especially when no one is around.

In addition to checking the overall situation of the icebreaker, the surrounding fish people are also catching fish in the sea.

These cannon fodder on land are extremely vicious little guys when they go to sea. They used their fangs and spears to catch day after day.

The action of projection and capture is slightly lacking even for veterans who have been trained for a long time.

And then...... Daum Cobb saw them start rounding up large fish, such as sharks......

Such hunting seems to be more popular with them, and more indicative of their bravery.

Then it's time to feast, and the whole shark is divided and swallowed into their stomachs, and when they are full, the two begin to mate.

Daum Cobb, who was lying on the fence, cursed damn it and said, "Damn, Eames didn't tell me that this group of fishmen is in heat." ”

Daum Cobb, who had long been experienced, prepared a training chamber for them, filled it with seawater and placed it on the deck.

The well-fed fish people climbed back one after another and entered the spawning period.

The spawning of the fish-people is more like that of fish, and in the culture cabin, they lay a long series of green egg bands, which are wrapped in one small egg after another.

A female fish man lays about 50 to 100 eggs, and the survival rate is as high as 80%.

The number of fish-man eggs this time, Daum Cobb roughly estimated, at least a thousand small fish-men can survive.

This gives the bored Daum Cobb something to do.

"Eames owes me a favor now." While recording the situation of the fish-human eggs, Daum Cobb said to himself, "No one has been watching you for so long before. ”

Then on the morning of the third day, when Daum Cobb got up to see the little fish-men break out of their eggs and become a group of small people, Li Yue arrived with a cruise ship......

"Boss, you always pick a time." Daom Cobb said after giving Li Yue a joking hug.

Li Yue was puzzled for a few seconds, then nodded clearly and said with a smile, "It's really timely, I haven't seen the little fishman grow up, the last time Eames's stupid guy got drunk, so we all missed the fishman's spawning period." ”

Daum Cobb tapped on his camera and notebook and said, "I didn't record it at all." ”

At this time, on the escalator behind Li Yue, two people came up. A ** childish Asian girl, a gray-haired but energetic middle-aged Asian old man.

"Who are these two?"

"Let me introduce, this is Hidetoshi Nakata, the chairman of Nakata Company, and this is his daughter Keiko Nakata." Li Yue opened his mouth and said, "They will deal with the problems I left over from Japan, and they can be regarded as partners or something." ”

Then Li Yue said to Nakata's father and daughter, "This is my deputy, the second leader of the team, Daum Cobb. ”

"Hello Cob-kun!" Nakata Hidetoshi took the lead and walked over to hold Daum Cobb's hand and said with a smile, "Please take care of me in the future." ”

Li Yue waved his hand and said, "Japanese people are like this, just get used to it, and the boat behind me is one of the gifts he gave me."

Now let's look at the interesting stuff, greetings or something, and leave that for the end. ”

Nakata Hideshou smiled awkwardly, but he was a little curious about what Li Yue said, "Li Yuejun, can we also go and take a look?" If there is a ......"

"It's not a big deal, just look at it, you can't eat a piece of my meat." Li Yue shrugged and said, then patted Daum Cobb's shoulder and whispered, "If you keep an eye on Keiko Nakata's chest again, I won't be able to round the field, and I'm afraid I'll have to give a 'date' to the periphery of this guy's development." ”

Daum Cobb looked back at it awkwardly and smiled, "This is the biggest ball I've ever seen...... 36cīŧŸ ”

“36dīŧâ€

“â€Ļâ€Ļ That's big enough, but the only ones on the ship and base are the fishmen and kobolds. Even those pets were all bought by headquarters. ”

"Fish-people are nice, aren't they? Especially the fish-man fins......"

“â€Ļâ€Ļ”

After a whisper, Daum Cobb recovered and led the group to the training pod.

Through the observation window, you can see that these originally transparent fish-people have begun to appear on their bodies, except that they are still the size of their thumbs, they are exactly the same as their parents.

Hidetoshi Nakata pointed to the fish-man in the training cabin and stammered, "This ...... What is this? ”

"Fishmen, rumored creatures, possess a certain amount of intelligence that can be trained as cannon fodder soldiers. Eat everything, the stomach has great digestive power. Daum Cobb said, "Don't look ugly, but it's very valuable."

In addition, we also found that they have delicious characteristics, the fins are unique, the meat quality and tuna have a fight, the nutrition is the highest known, and long-term consumption has a certain strengthening effect on the body.

At present, because of the scarcity of quantities, they are not sold to the outside world, and only a small number of leaders and our top management can eat it.

This time it was a surprise to spawn in the middle of the mission. ”

Fish-people? Value! Although he knew that Li Yue brought himself over, maybe he wanted to give something like a 'date', but the fishman ...... Doesn't seem to be that friendly creatures......

It can be said that Hidetoshi Nakata is a little disgusted.

Li Yue looked at Nakata Hideshou, who had an ordinary face, made a small movement towards Daom Cobb, nodded and said, "The existence of the fish-man is very ancient, even older than the known ancient. They are able to survive countless years of disasters, and thanks to their immune system and value, eating their fins can slow down aging and improve health.

So far, we've only found out part of the role of the fish-man......

As a rare species, their meat and fins were only supplied to a few leaders such as the President of the United States, the Prime Minister of China, the Russian Emperor, the Empress of England, and even the Emperor of your country was only established after I had completed my mission and received a bounty. ”

Li Yue paused and continued, "There are no fish-man fins to sell in the market at the moment, and the global secret system shows that the secretary of state bought it for $1 million last week, but we refused. ”

This is the truth, the problem is that the Secretary of State bought a live fishman, which touched Li Yue's bottom line, so the 'Pure Land' did not hesitate to reject the deal.

Using the fish-man's fins to establish a good friendship environment is the environment that Maria Hill paved for Li Yue, and the only thing that was warned was that the fish-man could die without a corpse, and could be used as cannon fodder, but it must not be turned into something that circulated at will.

The Secretary of State's acquisition is a beginning, if it is agreed, there will be a steady stream of people coming to buy, so after the flood of fishmen, it will be impossible for Li Yue to want a good environment.

Listening to Li Yue's introduction, Nakata Hidetoshi hesitated, to be honest, he didn't think that eating these terrible things in his mouth was a pleasure.

"Of course." Li Yue shrugged and said, "As one of the confidentiality agreements, we have no way to trade with the fishmen, and any capital activities are under the management of the headquarters. So, I'm just going to take you through the growth of this amazing species. ”

If you take what is in your consciousness and take it away.

How would you react?

Irritable, if lost, deeply believe that this was originally their own thing.

This is the case with the current Nakata Hidetoshi, he just wanted to speak, but Li Yue fished out a small fishman from the cultivation cabin and walked towards the edge of the boat.

"The sense of smell and perception of animals in nature is the most obvious signal. The best pursuit of nutrition is the memory engraved in the body. So the best way to test the edible value of a fishman is to throw it into the wild and see how many things want to eat it. Li Yue continued.

Keiko Nakata couldn't bear to look at the little fishman in Li Yue's palm and said, "Wouldn't this be too cruel." ”

Li Yue didn't speak, but just raised his hand and threw the little fishman into the sea.

Not long after, visible to the naked eye, dozens of shark dorsal fins appeared on the surface of the sea from far and near, and even a whale appeared on the surface of the sea, jumping up and smashing out huge waves.

"Fish-people are born to use the environment to disguise themselves, strong fishy smell, etc., but it's hard to say whether the newborn fish-people can master it."

"What happens if you can't master it?"

Li Yue didn't speak, and the following scene had already answered this question for Li Yue very well.

The swarming of all kinds of deep-sea predators churned here, making a big shot for a small fish-man the size of a finger, and finally a circle of blood and water.

"Li Yuejun, Fishman, I want it." Nakata Hidetoshi said firmly, "If you die, you have to die!" ”

The corners of Li Yue's mouth curled slightly, giving Daom Cobb a look.

Daum Cobb said understandingly, "But...... Boss, HQ forbids us to trade anything related to the base, and the secrecy level is top secret. ”

"We are partners, partners, and our own people......" Hidetoshi Nakata said preemptively, patting his thin chest.

Li Yue said, "Mr. Hidetoshi Nakata is a partner, and if we come out every month, the benefits of being a 'member' can also be recorded." ”
