260 Pond fish

Zhao Xinghua and dozens of other people brought forty or fifty trolleys to the dock, and everyone was ready to transport these divided fish and meat back to the Shenhu base first.

Zhao Xinghua and Ding Baoli were named by the captain Zhang Guangcheng, and the two could no longer have a chance to be lazy this time, so they could only come to the riverside dock honestly.

Just when everyone was in full swing and full of enthusiasm for handling, there was a violent churning on the calm river again, and everyone couldn't help but stop what they were doing and looked at the whirlpools in the water.

Suddenly, a huge black shadow jumped out of the water and jumped to the place where everyone gathered on the dock, and in an exclamation, a large fish more than ten meters long had already fallen into the air. Different from the previous mandarin fish, this big fish is not only several times larger, but also the body is not as flat as the mandarin fish can only fall on its side after landing, this big fish body is oval, black brown, huge head, smooth and sticky body without scales, there are two whiskers more than one meter long above the mouth, and the huge mouth is closed one by one, and a cart of freshly loaded fish meat has been sucked into the mouth.

Just when everyone was about to add another good news and kill this lone big fish, five more jumped up one after another under the surface of the water. Each one was no smaller than this one, and even the largest one was about twenty years long, and that huge head alone was the size of a minibus.

In the face of these monsters like small mountains, how dare everyone fight again, and the fool knows that with the sickle, hoe, and hammer in his hand, he can't do much damage to this big fish that has just landed. The only way to kill them was to rely on the semi-automatic rifles in the hands of the soldiers of the guard platoon, and the crowd scattered and ran in all directions.

It's a pity that these big fish are not like those mandarin fish, they can't move on land, with their huge bodies and strong muscles, they just twist their bodies a few times and rush out more than ten meters and knock down a crowd that is scattering and fleeing.

When Zhao Xinghua and Ding Baoli saw the first big fish coming ashore, they had already turned around and ran. Both of them recognized that these large fish with obvious physical characteristics were the evolutionary products of catfish before the end of the world.

The two of them are worried about the fish that can go ashore to act, and the last time they fought against the yellow eel, the whole team with long hair disappeared. Those enlarged versions of yellow eels are the difference between snakes and whales compared to the catfish that are now landed.

Catfish this species can be said to be a kind of freshwater fish with very strong adaptability, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, pits, can survive, super adaptability to the environment, low requirements for water quality, is a carnivorous fish, in addition to fish and shrimp and insects, will also catch birds passing by the water, and even the rodents on the shore are also their predation objects, and their life span can even reach more than 70 years.

Before the apocalypse, there were videos of catfish deliberately stranding to trap sparrows on foreign websites; In Australia, giant catfish have been flooded before the apocalypse, they grow fast, and gluttonous, strong hybrid mutation ability, often can catch 100 catties of large catfish in lakes and rivers, is the natural enemy of small fish. Local biologists dissected 100 large catfish to observe their habits, but unexpectedly, the remains of North Australian rats were found in the bellies of 44 of them.

A female Mekong catfish caught in Thailand in 2005 was 2.7 meters long and weighed nearly 300 kilograms, making it the largest freshwater fish ever caught.

Catfish is a low-oxygen tolerant fish, and in many rivers are dry and even arid and cracked, digging through the soil to find catfish hiding in the depths of burrows. In short, this fish, also known as pond fish in the south, is a super freshwater fish with fast growth, huge size, easy genetic mutation, gluttony, drought tolerance, and strong adaptability.

Zhao Xinghua and Ding Baoli saw the opportunity early, and fled first when everyone was ready to kill the first big fish, but unfortunately one of the two had inconvenient legs and feet, and the other was not very outstanding. A giant catfish followed behind the group, relying on its strong body strength and slimy skin to soon catch up with everyone.

"Run to the right!"

Zhao Xinghua, who glanced back at the situation in his busy schedule, shouted loudly to Ding Baoli beside him.

The two of them turned around and rushed out to the right at the same time, and just as the two of them had just left the mass line and jumped into the ditch to the right, the large catfish behind them passed them, greedily twisting their bodies and swallowing towards the larger group of escapees.

The two of them sat up and looked at the fact that several people who were running with them at the end of the line just now had disappeared, presumably having been sucked into their mouths by the big fish, and the two of them were afraid for a while.

"No, we have to find a way to kill them! If this continues, sooner or later everyone here will be eaten up by them! ”

"Boss, how can this thing be killed~?"

Ding Baoli already had a crying tone in his tone. If it wasn't for Zhao Xinghua's temporary proposal to hide here just now, I am afraid that the two of them would have been sucked into the fish's mouth.

"You lie here, I'll get a gun!"

With that, Zhao Xinghua stood up from the main canal, bent down and ran to the guard platoon not far away.

"Company commander, what should we do, shall we shoot?"

A warrior intersected and pleaded with his commander.

"How to shoot, there are your own people everywhere, what if you accidentally injure the masses! Who will take this responsibility! ”

The soldier's request was decisively denied by the lieutenant.

"Then you can't just watch these big fish eat people?"

The other warrior asked his commander with the same anxiousness.

"Is this your commander or am I the commander, obey the order, and wait for the personnel to disperse before shooting!"

"Company Commander Zhao, those big fish have been chasing the crowd, and it seems that they won't return to the water if they don't eat up these laborers."

The clerk on the side did not quite agree with the lieutenant's order.

"I am waiting for the best time, I must not accidentally hurt the masses, the military and the people, especially in this special period, we must maintain the image of the army among the people!"

That Zhao Company Commander stubbornly interrupted the clerk's words.

"Report! C 189 Squad, Zhao Xinghua asked for fire support! ”

Just as the clerk was about to continue to persuade Company Commander Zhao to hurry up and rescue the crowd who were being chased by the big fish, a man covered in mud appeared in front of the guard platoon and reported a request for support to several people.

"What do you know as a laborer, shooting now will inevitably cause serious harm to the chaotic crowd."

"Report, I used to be a soldier, and I am sure that I will not accidentally injure a single person!"

"Fuck, if you dare to make a military order, I'll give you a gun, and if you accidentally injure someone, I'll kill you on the spot!"

"Okay, give me a gun!"

"Xiao Li, give him your gun."

"I want that!"

Zhao Xinghua pointed to the CQ7.62mm general-purpose machine gun in the hand of a soldier.
