Chapter I
Through a layer of glass, Hong Long saw a vague thing lying sideways in front of what should be a shiny computer screen. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info different light refraction ratios of water, glass and air make the picture a little distorted, not to mention that the water is still a little turbid. Hong Long writhed in the water, his pathetic brain not much bigger than a soybean had a very, very difficult time to think slowly - about why he was suddenly in the water, and seemed to be well suited to life in the water......
The mind rotates very slowly, and I always feel a little lost, jumping hard. What Hong Long remembers most clearly is his name, which is a good name that has earned him nicknames such as Hong Qi, Hong Xing, Causeway Bay, etc., but as for how he is in his current form, he can't remember. He was now in a water tank surrounded by glass on all sides, and his very slow brain finally remembered that this should be the fish tank in his room—but there was only water and grass and no fish for a long time, and he had just opened a grass tank. Then it took an unknown amount of time for Hong Long to recognize that the person sitting in the chair lying in front of the computer maybe, should, maybe, could it be himself, "So who am I?" This question made the originally muddy brain suddenly feel a stir, and suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong in heaven and earth - what state is he in now, how can he live in a fish tank, and how can an eighty-centimeter grass tank not look like it can put down a person. Besides, isn't he in a computer chair?
As for what form he is now? From the reflection on the glass at a certain angle, Hong Long saw his own appearance - a fish that seemed to be a loach, but it didn't seem to be a fish, what kind of fish had limbs? After thinking about it for a long time, I could only think that I might be an axolotl..... There were a lot of black shrimp in the grass tank, it should be the shrimp that he put in to eat algae when he cultivated the grass tank, and Hong Long, who gradually became hungry, quickly ate two shrimps, and he found that he was able to control the body at his current level so skillfully, and he could also launch a fierce hunt for the size of the current one. Huang Dou's brain has always limited Hong Long's thinking ability, and in many cases he can't think for a long time, and it seems that the feelings of fear, surprise, incredulity, etc. have also become much indifferent, otherwise he would have died of hunger strike because he became like this.
Hong Long, who has become more like a heartless animal, lives in a fish tank like this, and his small body food is not small, and he has eaten up more than 100 shrimp in the bathtub in just a few days. However, the more shocking picture is that Hong Long, who was lying in front of the computer, obviously began to turn green and bigger, and there were constantly water droplets dripping on the ground...... Finally, as the gate was slammed open, Hong Long in the fish tank saw several black-clad figures who should have been police officers entering.....
"Heart failure, has been dead for more than 128 hours, and the body has decomposed." Officer Cai Gongchong looked at the forensic report, "Is it another young otaku who was addicted to computers and died in front of the computer..... Have you notified your family? Oh, I've been informed, and if I want me to say that the landlord is really unlucky, I'm afraid I won't be able to rent out this house after the death of people - not to mention the cleaning. You don't smell the stench, and the house is full of flies and maggots. He bragged to the police flowers beside him. In this way, the death of the otaku Hong Long did not even splash a splash, and the family did not hold a memorial service because the body was highly decomposed, so they directly took it to cremation and held a farewell ceremony for the ashes..... As for the contents of his room, in order to avoid seeing injuries, the family members disposed of the computers, books, and so on, and as for the straw tank, the contents were also emptied after being dumped into the sewer, and sold to the waste collectors.
Hong Long in the fish tank was not big, in fact, he was not much bigger than those three or four centimeter long shrimp, so he was also washed into the sewer. Fortunately, this is a storm sewer pipe, not a sewage pipe, and the water quality is not so bad that you can be poisoned as soon as you enter. In this way, Hong Long was washed into the river along the waterway, and before he was poisoned, he was finally washed up to the lakeside tidal flat swamp, which can be regarded as picking up a second life. However, the so-called feelings of happiness can only be had until the brain grows to the size of a walnut, and the current Honglong can only play the instinct of survival in addition to thinking slowly. Eating and sleeping is his goal, and not letting other animals eat it is his goal.
Fortunately, this is the famous land of fish and rice, and although Yunmengze has long since dried up, it still leaves behind Dongting Lake, which is known as one of the largest lakes in the mainland. Now Hong Long is in this lake, because of his size, this guy does not dare to go to the deep water, can only hide in the reedy swamp area, fortunately, this place is extremely rich in life, it is not difficult to fill the stomach, but you have to be careful of those larger fish and turtles, and the biggest enemy - those birds walking around.
In the morning at Dongting Lake, the water is full of mist. There were a few broken waves on the calm water, and suddenly a strange head rushed out from under the surface of the water, and a small fish was biting in its mouth. In the past few months, Hong Long has grown up a lot, and it is no longer just a bird that can swallow it, if you want to hunt Hong Long, at least you have to be a large wading bird like a stork and crane. This guy's body has grown from five or six centimeters to more than twenty centimeters, and this growth rate is very powerful. And the body, which was originally called stubby, can be regarded as long hair. The body has become slender and strong, the limbs have also grown a little, and scale armor has appeared on the body, which has finally improved a lot of defense. Of course, the head has become more narrow and long, and it is no longer the round, flat, wide-mouthed head of the salamander, but it has become a bit like a crocodile - but if Hong Long can think about it, then he will understand that he is not a cold-blooded animal, because he does not need to bask in the sun like a crocodile, and he eats a lot more, and his agility and stamina are also stronger than that of crocodiles.
Twenty centimeters long, Hong Long can already prey on fish about ten centimeters, this guy's belly is a bit of a snake, can hold a lot bigger, but after all, thanks to the effect of the teeth in his mouth - he does not need to swallow, but can use sharp teeth and strong forelimbs to divide the prey, and then swallow it. Now Hong Long has moved his hiding place to the shore of a relatively hard lake, where he has dug an L-shaped cave to hide in, and usually swims into two to three meters of water to hunt for food. Hong Long's mouth is able to absorb oxygen from the water, and this guy himself is a creature with lungs, and the combination of the two allows Hong Long to stay in the water for a long time without having to breathe.
He eats a lot of food, and he needs to eat food heavier than his own weight every day - Hong Longke, who is more than 20 centimeters long, weighs two or three catties. The huge amount of food brought about an astonishing growth rate, and in just one month, Hong Long's body length doubled, and the diameter of his body exceeded five centimeters. The scale armor on his body is getting harder and harder, and the color is gradually darkening, and his appetite has not become any smaller, and he still has to eat at least twenty catties of food every day, which is the same as his current weight. On the shores of Dongting Lake, there are many waters contracted by locals to raise fish, and they use nets to enclose patches of water to raise freshwater fish, and as a pest, Hong Long is in the pen of an unlucky farmer.
Recently, Hu Jingshui has always had a feeling that there are fewer and fewer fish in his pens, and the number of birds that prey on fish has not increased, and because of the local government's subsidies and regulations, he has not driven away those birds, but this situation has continued for several years, and there has been no such thing in the pen in the past. He wondered if his underwater purse seine had broken and the fish had escaped from it. So he decided to wait for the weather to get a little hotter and go to check it out.
