Chapter Eighty-Eight: Fishing on the Boat
In the ocean, a mass of jellyfish-like material is constantly flowing with the ocean currents. The surrounding high salinity of the sea water is constantly robbing the water in this mass of material.
The mass began to shrink and shrink, trying to enter a special state of self-preservation.
After a long time, the mass began to get smaller and smaller, and it began to become more and more unstable.
At this moment, a small fish was wandering around in the water because of hunger, and suddenly, it saw something very large floating in the distance.
Its stupid brain couldn't tell what it was, and with all its nerves, it had to be the best food.
The small fish swam towards the jellyfish-like mass, and the moment it touched the surface of the mass, a huge hole suddenly cracked on the surface of the otherwise smooth sphere.
"Click~" small fluctuations are transmitted along the incompressible water, and there is no trace of small fish around.
The nutrients entered the body, and the cells that were about to enter the cryptobiotic state suddenly began to wriggle violently, and Qi Fei's consciousness was directly connected with the instinct of the cells.
"Food! I need food! ”
Qi Fei felt that the seawater around him was constantly scorching the surface of his cells, the traits in the genes were rapidly expressed, and a transparent film covered his bare cell membrane, and in a short period of time, the seawater could not continue to corrode his body.
He sucked hard, and the algae floating in the seawater were adsorbed to the cell membrane, and then a rapid devouring process began again.
"Not enough! Inadequate! Qi Fei is almost crazy, the nutrition of the surrounding algae is a drop in the bucket for him, he needs a lot of protein, he needs an extremely large number of trace elements, and the surrounding algae alone cannot support his nutritional needs at all.
Cracks began to appear inside the nucleus, and even the cell structure began to appear unstable.
All this drove Qi Fei to explore a deeper place.
Gradually, Qi Fei approached the bottom, and many fish and shrimp appeared not far away. At this moment, Qi Fei couldn't bear it anymore, his body changed unscrupulously, and he was as fast as a tentacle demon to catch organic matter around.
This fertile land, which has been quiet for a long time, has finally encountered the most greedy predator in the universe.
………
Three days later, a search of the ocean-going fishing boat was operating at sea, and a young man in his early twenties wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to the middle-aged man next to him with a gloomy face: "Uncle, if you go down this net, do you think you will find fish?" ”
The middle-aged man knocked the young man on the forehead with a pipe and scolded: "You guy, how can you talk like this." It's okay, drag another 500 meters, and start to close the net. Then when the fishing season is over, and we can't catch anything, we will have to drink the northwest wind. ”
As soon as these words came out, several fishermen around immediately lowered their heads, fortunately for a few months, but now, they can't catch anything. However, they hope that the net will be a good win and make them comfortable in the rest of the moratorium.
It turned out that they had been out to sea for nearly half a month, but they found that the nearby sea area seemed to have been plundered again, except for the bits and pieces of small fish, not even a single fish that they bought at a high price.
They have never seen this kind of thing before, and some people have even prayed like Mazu.
The roar of the diesel boat made everyone's mood toss, and finally, everyone began to prepare to recycle the fishing nets.
Except for the rotation of the machines and the roar of the motors, everyone kept their mouths shut, and the ice-like silence continued, and everyone prayed that the net would give them a good harvest.
As the nets popped up little by little, a kind of desperation appeared on everyone's faces.
It was empty, fluttering gently, as if there was no place for living creatures in this sea.
"Uncle, you say..."
"Shut up!"
The ship's face was gloomy, he never thought he would get nothing. If nothing comes of it this time, then for the rest of the period, he...
"Click."
The curling net suddenly stopped, and the young man, who was a little depressed, suddenly widened his eyes.
"You... Look! He was suddenly stunned, looking horrified at the nets under the boat, and a fear rushed through his head and made his hair stand on end.
In the middle of the fishing nets, a touch of white washed almost everyone's eyeballs. This is a person, this is a naked person.
He lay in the cold water, his body white from the seawater, white as snow in winter.
The next moment, everyone found the miserable white body in the fishing net. The face of the boat boss with the pipe in his mouth became more and more gloomy, and it was clear that they had never encountered such a thing.
Of course, they didn't panic too much, because such a thing is not impossible. Every year, many people jump into the sea and cannot find their bodies, and many people even fall into the sea and are washed here by the raging water.
But it's not offshore!
Even if there were corpses floating here, they would have already been eaten away by fish and birds, where would there be such intact corpses.
Whew~ A burst of soot fell, and terrible memories of water ghosts surfaced in the minds of all the old fishermen.
"That's not right! You see him move! The young man's index finger pointed at the human in the net, and his face turned into horror.
"Moved?" Everyone chuckled in their hearts, this was simply impossible.
There is no land to tread on in the vicinity of dozens of nautical miles, and if this is a human being, it is absolutely impossible to survive.
But...
"No, he's still alive, I have to get him back."
In fact, the best thing to do at this time is to put this miserable white body back into the sea, and being an indifferent bystander is the best choice.
But this young man, who is strong and strong, has a strong sense of justice, and at this time, when he sees that the body in the fishing net is still moving, how can he stand by and watch.
"Boy! It's the sea that pushes his body, he's not a living person at all! An old man with a graying beard pressed the young man's shoulders and spoke earnestly.
"Yes! There can't be any living people here, maybe..."
For a moment, everyone's faces began to become gloomy.
The young man stood there, his face flushed, and he looked at the man in the net who seemed to have moved twice, but he was unwilling to stop his things.
"Let's save it." The boat boss let out a puff of smoke and suddenly said earnestly.
"This time, not like that again." With that, he covered his head with his hat and walked towards the cabin.
