On the lake in the early morning, the fog is thick, and the dinghy is floating in the water.

An Yi opened his eyes, propped himself up, and the dinghy drifted to a forest on the shore.

"Angel ......"

The husband was sleeping on the board, Jiang Yan was lying on the other side, he was talking in his sleep just now, why did he call out Anqi's name?

Kai Ming woke up and saw his wife walking around in the forest, pushed Jiang Yan next to him a few times, and finally woke up rubbing his eyes.

"Where are we?"

Heavy fog shrouded the shore of the lake, and visibility was only 10 meters, "I don't know, it should be on the shore of Lake Titicaca, it is the largest alpine freshwater lake in the world, and it may not be easy to find the way back." ”

The question now is whether to go by water or by land. The waterway walks in a straight line, which is naturally faster than the land route, but if you can't find the north in the fog, it is safer to go ashore and take a look.

"Wait. Jiang Yan jumped out of the boat, but her high heels sank into the mud on the shore.

It is surrounded by towering trees, and the trunks of the trees can only be held by two people, and they are thousands of years old.

An Yi brushed away the black mud on the ground with his bare hands, revealing a rock with a protruding pattern on it, a leaf-like body, more than a meter long, with long hairs on both sides, and a pair of thick and long tentacles.

"What is this?"

"It is a fossil of a shrimp that lived in the Cambrian period, and an adult shrimp can grow up to two meters. ”

"Oh my God, I can cook a big pot and I can't finish it. It's just that this appearance is too weird and unappetizing. ”

"The marine paleontology of the Cambrian period was generally strange in form. ”

"In other words, it used to be an ocean. ”

"Yes, fossils are the best proof of that. ”

"Don't just chat, think of a way to get back. Jiang Yan walked over barefoot, holding two mud-stained high heels in her hands.

When the forest saw the end, it was obviously unrealistic to take two women through it, so I could only crouch on the shore and wait for the fog to clear.

Seeing that the arrival time of the airship was approaching, the fog still did not subside, and if the time was missed, the three penniless people would be trapped in a remote town, so they had to return to the boat and row towards the center of the lake.

"Can we find our way back?" Jiang Yan sat on the bow of the boat, with only the reflection of the water and the dense fog in her eyes, if she couldn't catch up with the airship, the news of the disappearance of the daughter of the Jiang Group in Bolivia would appear on the front page of the country, and the stock price would fall by at least 20 percent.

"I can only resign myself to fate. Kaiming shook his hands back and forth, paddling left and right to bring up waves, and the dinghy drifted into the depths of the fog.

Jiang Yan lifted her high heels and put them in the water, letting the waves from the bow wash away the mud on the shoes, the lake water was cool, and her fingertips were numb. A white line rose from under the water, more than two meters long, and the white line suddenly split into two, and when you look at it, it is two rows of jagged fangs.

"Wow......" she withdrew her hands back into the water, and a dark figure larger than a dinghy sank.

An Yi saw her hands shrunk in her arms and sat at the bow of the boat in a daze, "Why did you even lose your shoes? ”

"Water...... There are monsters in the water. She moved back into the middle of the ship.

"I guess it's an Arowana, and I've heard it weighs three tons. Kemin said.

"That's bigger than a car. ”

"Yes, a creature of this size should be able to eat humans. ”

Jiang Yan squatted down and stopped talking.

"Being big doesn't necessarily mean eating people, right?" An Yi came to the side of the boat to inspect, only to see himself in the reflection, "* can reach ten tons in size, but it is a docile animal, and it only eats tiny plankton in the sea. ”

"That's not necessarily, if it's forced to be in a hurry, a big mouth, I guess you'll have to say goodbye. ”

"Tens of millions of years of evolution have brought it back from land to ocean, and the digestive system can only digest microorganisms. ”

"It is forced to have no choice but to eat and live well on land, so that it will not jump into the sea, and if the sea is full of fat cows, it will not bother to collect microorganisms after eating a full meal. ”

An Yi glanced back at her husband, "If evolution is a kind of helplessness, we are also forced to live in the world without helplessness." ”

"I'm afraid that's what life is all about. "When you're at the top of the food chain and your mouth has sharp teeth, you're going to bite people, like George who has turned into a metal inhuman." ”

"The strange fish in the water have fangs. Jiang Yan said.

"We have to avoid falling into the water before we get to the shore. ”

"I'm afraid it won't work. ”

"Why?"

"The boat is flooding. An Yi said, pointing to a hole in the edge of the boat.

"No, it won't!"

Cumming took off his coat and plugged the thumb-sized hole, clicking, using too much force, the hole widened to the size of a fist, and a litter of termites and sawdust floated in the cabin with the current.

Damn, what a wicked door.

The hole was too big to be plugged, An Yi and Jiang Yan kept splashing water with their hands, but it didn't work, and it was a matter of time before the ship sank.

"Look, there's a ship ahead. An Yi pointed to the shadow of the ship in the fog and said.

"Great. ”

Jiang Yan took over the task of plugging the leak, Kai Ming grabbed the oars, and the dinghy rowed forward. Through the thick fog, a yacht appeared in front of me, with a white hull and gray-black blackout windows.

The dinghy leaned over, the water in the cabin submerged the little feet, climbed the escalator of the yacht, and found two pairs of flip-flops and half a bottle of mineral water next to the edge of the boat. The wheelhouse and cabin were empty.

"This is not a normal phenomenon, is it a ghost ship?" Jiang Yan hid behind Kai Ming, his eyes vigilant around.

An Yi opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of milk and looked at the production date, "There are apples and grapes, all fresh." ”

"That's weird, where did everyone go?"

Kaiming looked at the two pairs of flip-flops outside, "Fell into the water." ”

"And then?"

"Eaten by Arowana. This is probably the most plausible explanation.

An Yi looked at the clock, "We have to leave quickly." ”

The motor hums, looks at the navigation on the instrument, slams the steering wheel, and the yacht turns around the lake, and the waves splash forward.

Two heads popped up on the lake, and they took off the snorkel from their mouths and waved to the yacht moving away, "Hey, that's our boat." ”

The yacht faded into the fog.

Two men in wetsuits, floating in the middle of the lake.

"Will, something seems to have hit me in the foot. He looked back and saw that his companion was gone, and a bright red whirlpool rose from the bottom of the water.

"Will!"

He put on a snorkel and dived underwater, where at the dimly lit bottom of the lake, a serpentine creature swam, with a curved body seven meters long, fish scales glimmering, a flat head, two eyes protruding from left to right, four long posterior whiskers on the upper lip, and a yellow swimming boot exposed outside the large mouth.

That's Will's swimming boots!

The Arowana opened its upper and lower rows of teeth and swallowed it up with its feet and boots, and a piece of blood overflowed from the corner of its mouth.

He was stunned for a moment, and swam to the surface of the water with his hands and feet. When the head came out of the water, the Arowana at his feet also opened its mouth, and "No......." he was sucked down, and there was only a whirlpool left on the surface of the water.

The yacht docked at the dock, and Cumming retrieved a rifle from under the helm.

The three of them walked in the town, many houses had collapsed, the blood stains on the streets had turned black, there was not a single resident in sight, and an emergency evacuation notice was posted on the bulletin board.

"Don't move, put down your weapons and put your head in your hands. ”

The three men turned back at the same time, and a group of soldiers gathered around, automatic rifles pointed at them in unison.

"Don't shoot, we're tourists. ”

A soldier strode forward and collected his rifle.

"Tourists don't need it. ”

"It was for temporary self-defense. ”

"What do you see?"

"Metal Inhumans have attacked the town. ”

"Follow and we'll take you to safety. ”

Soldiers walked in a row through the streets, their guns often turning left and right. There are two tanks parked in front, still Soviet-made round turrets, no electronic sights, this kind of antique-class tank is okay for pretending, let it go to combat and pull it down.

Followed the soldier into a six-wheeled armored personnel carrier, heard a clattering sound of shifting gears, the people in the carriage shook, the car started forward, the engine may be sick working, gasping for breath, alas, this is a small country's belongings, will be a moment.

The armored car flipped over while traveling, and the people in the car were on the floor and on the ceiling, and finally pressed against each other.

While his head was still dizzy, a crack broke in the compartment, two claws lifted the armor on the surface, and a soldier screamed and was dragged out, and someone shot at the gap.

Called An Yi and Jiang Yan, followed behind a soldier, pushed through the door, got outside, and looked for cover on the road. The group hid behind a tank with a sunken turret and black smoke.

The soldier drew a pistol and handed it over, "Man, take care of yourself. After saying that, he ran to support his teammates while shooting.

The metal inhumans lifted the armored car and smashed it at the soldiers, boom, and everyone fell in the blast wave. A military jeep rushed out of the flames, stepped past him, and when he looked down, he saw that it was Kaiming who was driving, and there were two women beside him.

Turning around, the jeep drove thirty meters away.

Yellow-skinned boy, sooner or later your head will have to be screwed off.

The airship landed on the hillside, the staff pushed the hatch and saw the three people in the jeep, their clothes were covered with dust, their shoes were lost, their luggage was lost, and the tent was gone, and they must have not been idle for the past three days.

"Did the adventure go well, sir?"

Jamin jumped out of the car, "I'm starting to miss those ordinary days in the past. ”

"Even though the end of the world is only two years away, let me have the luxury of going home for a while and taking a bubble bath. Jiang Yan patted the dust on her body and followed his footsteps.

An Yi shook his head and said, "Helplessness is the true meaning of life. ”

As the airship ascended, the staff saw three passengers standing in front of the window, staring blankly at the black circle where the ground had burned.

In the CIA's office, Bass ignored the female assistant and pushed open the office door. Patch sits in a chair smoking a pipe with a double fork on the table.

"Why are you the only one coming back, the three commandos?"

"It's gone. ”

"No," Buzz frowned, "before you left, you promised that there would be no casualties." ”

Patch puffed on a cigarette and said, "Yes, but who can guarantee that in two years, there will be no end of the world." ”
