Chapter 176: An Amazing Information
I called out to him, but he didn't respond. I waded through the water while calling his name, and the place where Jack was standing was more than ten meters away from the shore, and from here it was completely foggy and I couldn't see anything. Even though Jack's eyes widened, I didn't believe he could see anything.
Jack tilted his head to look at me and said in surprise, "See?" ”
I sneered, "Are you talking about fog?" Yes, I saw it. ”
Jack shook his head and suddenly threw the glow stick out, which fell to the shore in an arc. In an instant, a terrifying scene appeared in front of my eyes, in the range illuminated by the glow sticks, dense scorpions gathered on the shore, black and shiny claws waved at us, the tail hook was raised high, and the red poison sacs were like ripe cherries.
Seeing this scene, I felt that both legs were a little weak, and I couldn't help but want to stay away from this scene. Jack Ghost smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, this thing is afraid of water." It's safe here. ”
Of course I knew scorpions wouldn't go into the water, but the sight gave me the creeps and made me want to stay away from them. I steadied myself and pretended to be relaxed and said, "Do you want to catch one more?" Keeping this thing as a pet is risky. ”
"It's impossible to catch it now. It's a shame that that living specimen blew you up. ”
"If I don't blow it up, we'll both have to feed them. Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? ”
Jack shrugged, stared at the glow sticks on the shore and said, "Zhang, these scorpions are weird, I don't remember any records of such scorpions." And such a large scorpion is still a highly poisonous species. ”
I don't know how he judged that these scorpions were highly venomous, but there is absolutely no record of such a large scorpion. I've seen something even more unbelievable in the underground passages, and I've already had some mental immunity to this kind of ghost. It is this attitude of Jack that I cannot understand, he seems to be more fearless than I am, and even has the guts to catch one on the way to escape, which can definitely not be explained by a nervous strip.
Resisting the urge to turn and run away, I said to Jack, "Get out of here, I don't want to stand here all night." Hurry up and catch up with them, don't get separated from Ah Xiang and them, I don't know what happened to them. ”
Jack was indifferent to my words, and just stood and looked at the terrifying sight on the shore in the distance. "Zhang, I know that you have something to hide from me, which is not conducive to our cooperation, and I hope you can say it openly and honestly. What did you and Xiao Guolin encounter in the last archaeological trip? Today's stuff has something to do with what you came across in your last operation, right? ”
I don't believe Jack had thought of these things out of the blue, and AOE and I had done our homework when we worked together, including sending Jack this time. I don't know what their purpose is, but I do know they have other ways to get information, even information that I don't know. I think Jack has a plan to get to the bottom of it, so I just take this opportunity to have a showdown with him, of course, I want him to have a showdown first, I won't be stupid enough to show my hole cards to the other party first.
"Don't you also have something to hide from me? Trust is built on both sides to open up information. AOE has investigated me thoroughly over the years, and I don't think I have many secrets to speak of for AOE. But you've been in the shadows, I don't even know what kind of organization you are, and now to tell me what kind of folk archaeological institution you are is just talking nonsense with your eyes open. But it doesn't matter, I don't really care who you belong to or who you work for. What I am concerned about is what your purpose is, what is drawing your attention to this. ”
Jack and I were staggered in the water, and I was positioned slightly further back. Jack turned his head and stared at me for a moment. He didn't take any other lighting after throwing the glow stick on the shore, and at the moment the two of us only relied on this light stick in my hand, his face was blurry under the light stick, and I could only see his two very bright eyes.
Jack looked at me for a moment, then turned his head to look at the shore. "I can tell you something. Actually, there are some things I should have told you a long time ago, but I never had the chance. First of all, I want to tell you that Xiao Guolin did not come out underground, this information is very accurate, and I estimate that Xiao Ting also knows. So our ultimate goal is to go down, at least to where you last entered. Yes, we know that the last time you entered a mysterious place, you were asked to tell me if it was too specific, and we didn't have too specific information. And then we got some biological samples, mostly plant, which was very interesting. ”
"Interesting, you say? Can you explain? I interrupted him.
"I'll try." Jack turned his head again. "We found some strange phenomena in these biological samples, of course, only a very small number of biological samples have this phenomenon, and their DNA is not a double helix structure."
As Jack speaks, both eyes reflect the light of the glow sticks all the time, indicating that he hasn't blinked. I stared into his eyes, curious to see how he did it. Suddenly, I almost jumped, not surprised by Jack's ability to stay unblinked for a long time, but because I understood what Jack meant.
"Are you talking about biological mutations?" I asked with a trembling voice.
Jack's eyes were always lit up and seemed to lose the ability to blink, staring at me without speaking. Apparently he didn't agree with me.
"Hell. How is this possible. "My voice was almost out of control.
"Then can you understand my desire to capture a scorpion?"
"It's a scorpion. It's all over the planet, but it's bigger, do you think it's going to be some amazing discovery? ”
"At least it's a whole new breed. I can assure you that no scorpion of this size has ever been found in the world at the moment. It is nearly twice the size of the Emperor Scorpion, and it is simply the giant of the scorpions. ”
My mind was so messed up that I didn't even bother to ask anything else. If Jack hadn't lied to me, this information would have turned my perception upside down. Although I am not a student of biology or medicine, I have not forgotten the basics I learned in high school. The only DNA structure we know is the double helix structure, and if the biological samples they found are not double helix structures, then how can this be explained? Is it a new independent species?
I shook my head vigorously and asked him, "Where did you find your biological samples?" ”
"Underground. Where you and Xiao Guolin have been. A sample we took from a piece of clothing that you brought out. ”
