7. Evolve the Strange Fish

Several people drove out of the factory for half an hour, and Zhao Jie said helplessly to Zhao Xinghua while driving: "Please, you must be careful, you sit next to me and hold the sword and look at it from beginning to end a few times, can you put the tip of the sword outward?" ”

At the same time, the other people in the car also watched with their own weapons, even Zhang Ying. Especially when she saw that the bill was more than 30,000 yuan, and her smallest tactical kitchen knife was also more than 3,000 yuan, she treated the knife in her hand as a treasure.

When the car drove to a junction, Zhao Jie stopped the car and asked everyone: "The front is the direction to Hailing Island, should we go to Hailing Island to see, if it is really a zombie outbreak, the island may be relatively closed and safer." Has any of you ever been here? ”

"I was here with my classmates last summer." Zhang Ying raised her hand and said, and then she couldn't say why, and she didn't know what key points to pick to tell.

Zhao Jie took out his mobile phone and searched for it, about the introduction of Hailing Island:

Hailing Island is located in the southwest of Yangjiang City, with a subtropical oceanic monsoon climate and national first-class air quality. The annual average temperature on the island is 22.3 degrees Celsius, the average sunny days are 310 days, Hailing Island has excellent mountains and seas, with a total land area of 108 square kilometers and a sea area of 640 square kilometers, with a permanent population of about 100,000 on the island, 58 square kilometers of land for development, and a sandy beach of about 25 kilometers long, which is rated as one of the top ten most beautiful islands in China and a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction.

Seeing this, Zhao Jie said: "The island has a land area of 108 square kilometers, a population of 100,000, a very good climate, mountains and fresh water, and it is really a good choice." We'll stay here tonight and then go back to Suishi tomorrow. ”

There is a large embankment connecting the island to the mainland, which can drive the car directly to the island, which makes Zhao Jie more satisfied, convenient to transport materials in and out of the mainland, and at the same time easy to cut off the closed island.

When I came to the island, I found a hotel by the sea, and after dividing the room, I went to a nearby food stall for lunch. They went back to rest and adjusted, and then according to the better time, they gathered in the hotel lobby, each carrying a hiking bag at the same time, and everyone brought a bag with a weapon, after all, the freshness has not passed, like a child who has bought a new toy, reluctant to put it down.

got into the car, this time it was Gao Liexiong who drove, and Zhao Jie sat in the co-pilot. Gao Liexiong looked at the map here in advance when he was in the hotel, he is a personal navigator, in an unfamiliar area, after looking at the map to determine the direction, there is no longer a need to check the map. Follow the road on the island and go around in circles. The living facilities here are very perfect, the island is divided into two towns, Hailing and Zhapo, except that it is surrounded by water on all sides, and the living conditions are no different from the mainland.

"I saw that there is a small island called Mawei Island, where there are very few tourists, we also went to see it, and we were prepared, if we finally chose this place, we still need to hurry up and make arrangements." Zhao Jie said to Gao Liexiong.

Mawei Island is just a peninsula that used to be accessible by boat, but now it has a newly built road and can be reached by car.

The speed on the island is not very fast, it has been turning all afternoon, and it is already late in the evening when I get here. After parking the car, a few people still carried things down, walked a kilometer or two, and arrived at the beach, because here is the westernmost tip of the entire Hailing Island, just at sunset, the sunset hangs obliquely on the sea, the sea water is dyed golden yellow, the beach is gentle and clean, the sand is soft and fine, there are many small crabs crawling rampant on the sand surface, and the sea breeze caresses the face, at this time, people forget all their troubles.

"It's so beautiful!"

"Today's mission is over, everything is put down, and everything will be talked about tomorrow." Zhao Jie said emotionally.

"If there really is an end times, let's enjoy this last peace."

Wang Liang put his backpack and weapons on the beach and ran towards the sea.

Zhao Xinghua and Gao Liexiong sat on the beach and watched Zhao Jie in a daze, as well as Yixi and Zhang Ying, who were running back and forth on the beach chasing crabs, and the corners of their mouths also showed smiles.

Wang Liang ran nearly 100 meters into the sea, but the sea water was only up to his waist deep, and the slope of the beach here was very gentle and long, so he was far away from everyone, and walked out of 100 meters towards the ocean, and the sea water would reach his waist.

The sunset is about to completely sink into the sea level, the sky and the ocean have turned golden, everyone is silent in this beautiful moment, Wang Liang shouted in the distance, everyone looked at Wang Liang bent down, and something in the sea was confronted. Zhao Jie reacted, said it was not good, picked up his knife and ran towards Wang Liang first, and shouted: "Except for Xinghua, don't come here." Zhao Xinghua also carried a knife, grabbed Wang Liang's weapon bag, followed him and rushed into the sea.

Because the sea water is not deep, Er Zhao quickly approached Wang Liang, and when he was about to get closer, Wang Liang shouted, pay attention to the sea, Zhao Xinghua threw Wang Liang's weapon bag at him, pulled out a knife and hung the bag on his body, and looked at Zhao Jie beside him, holding a knife in both hands, the tip of the knife pointed downward and obliquely into the sea, Zhao Xing also looked at the sea, and the two slowly approached Wang Liang. Wang Liang had already taken the eighteen chopping machetes in his hand and said: "There is something in the sea attacking me, but fortunately, the sea is not deep, so I didn't suffer." ”

"We evacuated back to back, towards the shore." Zhao Xinghua has the most practical experience among the three, arranged.

So the three of them bent over and walked back to back towards the shore, and when it was completely dark, and when they reached the depth of the sea below their knees, each of them breathed a sigh of relief, and the road was safe, and nothing attacked them. The three of them stopped standing in formation, and at the same time stood up straight, carrying their weapons and walking towards the shore. Generally speaking, at this depth, there are no longer large marine animals that can roam, and it is easy to run aground here.

With a bang, something came out of the water and rushed straight to Zhao Jie's back, Zhao Xinghua was the first to react, a few days ago, he had been deliberately focusing on training himself when he was attacked from behind, how to deal with it, and how to make a move from which angle. His feet twisted slightly, and with the help of his waist strength, he raised his knife and reflexively slashed at the attacking creature behind Zhao Jie, and in an instant, a half-meter-long thing was split by him. Then another one jumped out of the sea, Zhao Jie and Wang Liang also reacted and turned around to get ready to deal with it, and when they saw the second thing that jumped out of the water, Wang Liang slashed it with a knife, but he was also cut off with a knife, and the surrounding sea water was dyed red.

"It seems that more things are gathering this way, get out of here, take turns to cover."

While speaking, something jumped out of the sea, which was cut off by Wang Liang with a knife, and the two walked backwards, one in front. Because the water surface was getting shallower and shallower, the three of them did not feel relaxed, and from time to time something shook nearby.

"The water is so shallow, how dare these big fish come?" Zhao Xinghua asked puzzled.

"Catch two alive." Zhao Jie said

Just another one jumped out of the water, Zhao Xinghua did not slash this time, but stabbed it with a knife, and pierced the thing on the knife, the water surface was just below the ankle, a big fish rushed diagonally from a distance with water power, Wang Liang bent down and grabbed it in his hand, originally because of long-term practice of rock climbing, the finger power was several times that of ordinary people, and after the strengthening of the meteorite virus body, now it has reached an amazing point, the head of the fish was pinched by him and clicked, and the big fish twisted hard, but it could not break free from Wang Liang's hands. After a few more steps, the water was only at foot depth, and it was impossible for the fish to come over unless they no longer breathed with their gills.

Back on the shore, Wang Liang checked the injury, nothing happened, a multi-functional waist bag hanging on his waist all the year round was bitten through, and it was also the first big fish that was lucky to bite him, and it was bitten on the waist bag, and he punched him away, which also made him alert. At that time, maybe there was only one nearby, or there were a few more at that time, and he might not have been able to cope with it empty-handed.

It was already completely dark, and Zhao Jie said, "Let's go back and find someone to ask what kind of fish this is." ”

Carrying two fishes back to the car, he drove back to the town and came to the food stall where he had eaten at noon.

Park the car, everyone is carrying weapons and getting out of the car at this time, after what has just happened, no one dares to leave the weapon anymore.

Zhao Xinghua, carrying his dead fish, came to the proprietress of the big partner and asked, "Boss, how to make this fish delicious?" He didn't go directly to ask what fish, knowing that the proprietress would say it herself.

Sure enough, the proprietress who looked down to settle the accounts looked up and saw the big fish in his hand and exclaimed: "Oh my God, such a big black sea bream, how many years does it take to grow so big!" ”

"Oh? Is it rare for this fish to grow so big? Zhao Jie asked beside him.

"If it is not artificially cultivated, it will be 40 centimeters in nine years, and some people will catch 45 centimeters in the newspapers, you are more than half a meter long, and the age of this fish is not afraid to be 20 years, and the longer the age of the fish, the slower the growth." The hostess explained.

When everyone heard this, they all felt that something was wrong.

Zhao Jie continued to ask: "Look at the protection of the ocean here, the fish caught recently should be getting bigger and bigger, right?" ”

"That's really hell, there were people who caught big fish a few days ago, but no one has caught fish in the last few days, and I don't know what the nets are hanging on, all the nets are broken." The proprietress complained that the fish sold at the food stalls were still artificially raised in land-based fish ponds.

"Not only did I not catch any fish, but two fishing boats were missing in the village in the past two days, and the coast guard went to the nearby waters several times to check but did not find clues, because it was an offshore fishing boat, and there was no satellite phone on board, which is really worrying." The proprietress sighed.

Zhao Jie turned around and glanced at Wang Liang, who was standing in the distance, Wang Liang stood in the shadows and turned around and returned to the car with the live fish.

Zhao Jie said to the proprietress: "We still have urgent matters, so we won't wait, this fish is sent to you, it was a friend who forked it with a harpoon, you look at it and get a few quick meals, we will pack it and take it away." ”

With the packaged food and the big fish that Wang Liang caught, everyone entered Zhao Jie's room.

Zhao Jie's face was very gloomy and full of worries.

"I'm going to unravel this fish in a while, and I'll go back to Sui City early tomorrow morning." Zhao Jie said with a gloomy expression.

"Why? Isn't this an ideal place to take refuge? The scenery is still beautiful, and it would be nice if we could be here in the last days? Zhang Ying said a little reluctantly, hugged Yixi's shoulder, and said coquettishly: "Why don't we stay, there are still mountains here, if there are zombies, you can go up the mountain, you can also catch big fish on the beach, and you can also take a boat to go to sea." There are only 100,000 people here, and there are 20 million people in Suishi. ”

"After listening to Dr. Zhao, it won't be so simple." Yixi patted Zhang Ying's head and said comfortingly.

"Yes, don't you feel anything wrong looking at this big fish?"

"This fish is also mutated because of the meteor shower."

"There is no smell of corpses, it should belong to the enhanced species."

"The nets that went out to sea were broken by the big fish in the sea."

"The missing fishing boat was also sunk by a big fish in the sea? It's really horrible! ”

Everyone analyzed sentence by sentence,

"Then we don't go to sea on this island, right?" Zhang Ying still didn't give up.

Zhao Jie looked gloomy and repeated:

"Don't you feel anything wrong with this big fish?"

"Oh my God!" Zhang Ying was the first to react, covering her mouth, showing great horror in her expression.

"Yes." Zhao Jie nodded affirmatively to Zhang Ying.

Zhang Ying threw herself into Yixi's arms and sobbed, "Let's get out of here as soon as possible, the farther away the better." ”

Now, everyone else is blinded, what were the two of them talking about just now? I don't understand which part of the plot is reversed.

"How long have we been back from the beach?" Zhao Jie asked

"At that time, it took us 20 minutes to get out of the beach, to get to the car, then to drive back to town for about 35 minutes, to wait for the food to be packed at the food stalls for 30 minutes, and to drive back to the hotel, plus about 30 minutes to get into the room. It's been almost two hours. Gao Liexiong replied.

"It's been two hours, and the fish is still alive." Zhao Jie said

The room was quiet, only the fish was writhing slightly on the ground, and it didn't start to be so intense, its mouth was still breathing, and the writhing of its body was by no means a simple nerve reflex, but a sign that it was still alive.

After a while, Gao Liexiong said, "Does it mean that marine life has a tendency to invade the land?" ”

"It can only be said that this possibility cannot be ruled out." Zhao Jie replied.

"Meteorite virions bring super evolutionary opportunities to life, and life instincts evolve in a powerful direction."

Zhao Jie continued: "We don't know the future evolutionary journey, but we know the previous evolutionary experience, and all terrestrial life came from the ocean. Well, one of the evolutionary manifestations of marine life is —---- landing. Organisms that have been genetically enhanced by the virus may change the direction of evolution, and creatures near the sea may be the first to develop on land, repeating the journey of the last evolution, and humans near the sea are in danger. It's getting harder and harder to tell what else this larger meteor shower will bring to Earth, and where is it safe? ”
