Chapter 302: The Island That Appears in the Night
The most mysterious thing in the world is the sea.
Before the nuclear war, the sea was a mysterious place that human beings could not explore, not to mention that now after the nuclear war, God knows how many mutated variants of marine life brought by nuclear radiation? And in the depths of the ocean's tens of thousands of ocean floors, who knows what creatures exist that humans don't know about?
Who would have thought that jellyfish could become so large without nuclear radiation?
Tao Ruhai, who saw the mutant jellyfish for the first time, seemed to be unsatisfied, and they were already far away from the sea surface of the mutant jellyfish, but they were still poking their heads out of the window of the plane. It's just that the mutant jellyfish that has dived to the bottom of the sea has long been out of sight, and the sea surface is pitch black.
The plane continued to fly less than a kilometer above the sea surface, always maintaining its maximum flight speed.
Tonight is definitely an unexpected gain for everyone in the Freezing Point team to see the rare mutant jellyfish, and it is even worth the trip. How many people have only seen it in pictures in the past hundred years, and have never had the opportunity to really see each other, and for this rare mutant sea beast that is hard to find, they only have deep regrets.
Zhang Jianyang didn't have much feeling about this, and this was the third time he had encountered a mutant jellyfish.
Twice in fantasy, once in reality.
In the world, there are many things that human beings have not yet figured out what they do, etc., like mutated jellyfish, which has not yet been caught by anyone, and it is naturally incomparably valuable to study it. Don't compare the jellyfish of the past to the mutated jellyfish of the present, they are the same in appearance, but in fact they are very different.
There was once a fierce lord in the fantasy world, after discovering the mutant jellyfish, he spent a huge amount of money and hired a powerful naval fleet to encircle and suppress the mutant jellyfish.
The result was very miserable, and it is said that the missile could not penetrate the crystal clear soft body of the mutant jellyfish. Instead, under the gentle counterattack of the mutant jellyfish, the entire naval fleet was sent to the icy bottom of the sea. No one knows the process, but at that time, all living things within a radius of several nautical miles were poisoned, and from the wreckage of the salvaged warship, there is no proof that the warship was actually corroded and sunk by the poison.
It can be seen from this that the highly poisonous nature of jellyfish after mutation is such a terrible existence.
…… If you want to find the trace of the mutant blue whale in the vast sea, it is indeed too difficult, it is better to try your luck.
From the discovery of the mutant jellyfish to the present, the plane has maintained its maximum speed for three hours, and still found nothing.
Looking at the time, it was already past two o'clock in the morning, the sky was terriblely dark, and there was no light above the ocean. Unlike on land, all kinds of mutated plants compete for color, emitting countless points of light, and from time to time some mutated plants will spray clouds of light, dotting the night into day.
There is nothing in the ocean, especially in this area, where not even an island exists.
The plane has a map of the world on board, but unfortunately due to the heavy losses of various countries in the event of a nuclear war, a large number of military bases, etc., are destroyed, and a series of functions on the plane are almost unusable. Since the albatross is a private company, there is no way to even have a positioning system to work, and if you want to know where it is, you can only confirm it through the world map and latitude.
"Our current location should be here, not too far from the South Pole, less than 2,000 kilometers away, and it is expected that at the current speed and direction, we will be able to see the coastline of the South Pole in two hours. The plan was that when we reached the coastline, we would fly about 100 kilometers to the east, then north, and so on, and we would spend thirty hours searching the area. ”
Now the plane is watched by Zhang Jianyang, flying in a balanced manner, so taking advantage of this opportunity, he explained his plan to Tao Ruhai and them.
Finding the mutant blue whale is completely like a big competition of luck, in a few hours, no one expects to find the trace of the mutant blue whale, for Zhang Jianyang's plan, it is expected.
"What if it's completely useless and doesn't find the mutant blue whale?"
It was Gu Shifeng who asked this question, he was holding a knife, and he was carving a piece of metal all the time. From time to time, the knife emitted a faint luster, cutting out a large number of metal fragments from this piece of metal, which was gradually taking shape, and on closer inspection, it could already be seen that some of the cloud outlines he had carved were of a mutant beast.
Zhang Jianyang thought for a moment and said, "I can only think of another way." ”
Thinking of the great happiness that was coming, but now it has become unknown, the entire Freezing Point team is a little gloomy, the giant peak of the Eight Stars is beckoning to them, but it is so far away.
…… A flaming flame rose into the sky, rising more than ten kilometers in front of the plane.
Like a small sun, this burning flame emits an intense light and keeps climbing...... It exploded as it approached the clouds, turning into a sea of burning clouds that lit up the entire sky. In just an instant, these seas of fire turned into sparkling flames, falling towards the surface of the sea, turning into countless heavenly fires that fell from the sky.
Along with this flame appeared an island on the surface of the sea, which was originally pitch black, but now the plants kept brightening.
In a few breaths, the entire island becomes "brightly lit".
Such a surprise made everyone on the plane a little unable to come back to their senses, and it was indeed a little scary that such a strange island suddenly appeared on the dark sea.
Zhang Jianyang frowned, then unfolded it again, and said, "It seems that our group of uninvited guests have disturbed them." ”
"How?" Xia Shaojun asked.
"Didn't you notice that this mass of flames erupted just as we were approaching, presumably due to the rumbling of the aircraft engines. Indirectly, the entire island began to be affected and came to its senses. Zhang Jianyang analyzed.
Lan Keying sighed and said, "How many mutated plants are needed to make the entire island radiate light?" ”
"Mutant plants?" When Xia Shaojun heard this, his whole person seemed to be beaten with chicken blood: "Don't you think that the entire island below is a treasure?" Look, with so many mutated plants, there must be some that are very valuable. Wowhaha, I didn't expect to encounter such a good thing, how is it a bit like an adventure treasure hunt? ”
After Xia Shaojun said this, the eyes of the entire freezing point team lit up, and their eyes lit up when they looked at the island below.
"Head, why don't we go down and have a look?" Tao Ruhai asked cautiously.
"Yes, head, it shouldn't take much time, if we find one or two god-level herbs or something, we will be developed." Song Jianfei also suggested beside him, he rubbed his hands, for him who had never seen a god-level herb in his life, the island below was too attractive.
Cheng Qianbo just smiled, but did not speak, and even Gu Shifeng stopped the metal carving that was about to be completed, with anticipation.
Zhang Jianyang hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind and said: "Okay, remember, we will leave in half an hour, at most an hour, but don't forget the purpose of our coming out." ”
Hearing Zhang Jianyang's agreement, everyone cheered: "Head, don't worry, half an hour is enough, haha!" ”
Now Tao Ruhai and the others finally understand why Zhang Jianyang wants to lease such a large aircraft, and it is also the benefit of amphibious aircraft. The waves below were not large, and the albatross would have no problem landing at all, and its airship-like and huge body looked exactly like a sea ship.
With Zhang Jianyang's control, the Albatross A-40 first slowed down around the bend, hovered over the island, and finally landed gently towards the sea.
Tao Ruhai and they had to admire Zhang Jianyang, it seemed that there was nothing he would not do, from military transport planes, to all kinds of vehicles, to such a small number of seaplanes, and even tanks from Zhang Jianyang's usual conversations. Now Tao Ruhai, they can't figure out what Zhang Jianyang can't do, maybe there's nothing that Zhang Jianyang can't do, right?
With a "poof" sound, the albatross landed on the surface of the sea, and the huge impact made it push all the way towards the island.
Finally stopped a few hundred meters before the island, Zhang Jianyang did not control the plane to approach the coast, the waves are not big now, but if he gets close, he is afraid of damaging the plane.
Lan Keying and the others all hugged in front of the open door, feeling the cold sea breeze here.
Zhang Jianyang scratched his head and walked over, he knew that he was going to be full of hard work again.
"Fat man and Qianbo, you go first." Zhang Jianyang just said, that is, he grabbed Tao Ruhai and Cheng Qianbo suddenly, and then in a flash, he had already rushed out of the plane, running on the sea, and in a moment he had already sent them to the island, and then returned.
The six of them were all sent to the island three times, and the plane left it floating on the surface of the sea, leaving it unattended.
Standing on the island, Zhang Jianyang expanded his perception, and to his surprise, the entire island was full of star power, but there was not a single mutant beast. However, the countless star power energies that appeared, Zhang Jianyang was also surprised by the number of mutated plants here, which definitely exceeded any place he knew.
"What is it that terrible nuclear radiation has caused almost more than eighty percent of the entire island to be mutated plants?"
Zhang Jianyang couldn't think of how this small island near the Antarctic could have such a large amount of nuclear radiation that could cause the island to undergo earth-shaking mutations. It seems that there is no such island as far as is known. You must know that the targets of nuclear weapons attacks are all of great military value, is this island also the same?
But...... If there had been a nuclear attack, the island would have been destroyed and disappeared long ago, how could it have remained so intact?
Now here, there is no trace of nuclear radiation anymore, and it has long been mutated, which has been transformed into star power, as long as you calm down, you can sense the surging star power here.
