216 Sea Monsters

Two figures in wetsuits meet each other head-on on the undersea street.

One of them, dressed in a dark green wetsuit, seemed to be in a hurry, while the other in a black wetsuit walked towards him, passing by...... Suddenly, he bumped his elbow on the other's shoulder.

The two ordinary people were wearing face shields, so they used electronic bracelets to communicate.

"Lao Zhang, don't even recognize me? Look at what you're in a hurry, what are you doing? The man in the black wetsuit wondered.

"Old Wei, haven't you heard? The Patrol has found new food! Right now, on Pearl Street, they're handing out a small portion of the new food for everyone to try, and it's said they'll be available all over the city in the future. The man in the dark green diving suit quickly replied, "Don't say anything, I'm going to hurry over, the two little cubs in the family are hungry every day, I have to grab a little." ”

"Huh?" The man in the black diving suit was stunned, but immediately said, "Wait for me!" My family also complains every day that they can't get enough to eat. ”

Both of them swam faster and swam in the direction of the Patrol Headquarters.

Wait until they get to the door of the patrol office.

I found that there was already a dense crowd around here.

"Don't mess around, don't rob!" An extraordinary man with silver scales on his body shouted directly in the water to maintain order, "More batches of food will be delivered tonight, and when the time comes, every household will have it!" Now it's just a taste, please follow the order! After getting the food distributed by the staff, I consciously left! ”

It was naturally Lu Xuejiang who spoke, and he was taking many members of the patrol department and several saucer-shaped submersibles at the scene to maintain order at the scene.

It turned out that just this morning, when Lu Xuejiang drove his new car, the more advanced B-9 dish-shaped submersible, out on patrol in person, he brought back a shocking piece of good news.

He discovered a huge undersea ecosystem!

It's a magical canyon under the sea, teeming with all kinds of sea creatures, and the further you dive, the bigger the creatures become.

And the scale of the ecosystem is impressive.

Lu Xuejiang flew all the way above the canyon in the B-9, and finally estimated that the length of the canyon reached an astonishing ten kilometers...... And if the density of life in it is about the same as the one he looked into, then this is undoubtedly a very large ecosystem!

The food in it, which supplies the 800,000 population of the Crystal Palace, will not be exhausted at least for a short time!

And Lu Xuejiang didn't tell anyone about the process of discovering it...... Because it's actually a bit bizarre.

He was found by following a dolphin.

This morning, he was just aimlessly patrolling around, and the bottom of the submersible made a "winter" sound, which turned out to be a dolphin more than two meters long, which directly hit his B-9 submersible.

Lu Xuejiang immediately came to his senses at that time.

Dolphin? Where there are dolphins, there should be a large ecosystem.

So he followed all the way, and the performance of the new B-9 was much better than that of the original B-2 submersible, and he easily followed all the way.

Eventually, he watched the odd dolphin swoop into the canyon.

If it weren't for the dolphin leading the way, Lu Xuejiang would not have found it here.

One is that this place is already far away from the Crystal Palace, and the other is that the crack at the top of this submarine canyon is actually very narrow! And some gullies on the bottom of the sea are normal, and it is impossible for the patrol team to investigate every one of them in depth.

Lu Xuejiang probably explored this first-line sky canyon, the thickness of the gap at the top is uneven, and even some places are sealed at all, so it is not a whole line from above, but more like a dotted line on the roadway, intermittent.

The inside of the canyon is open.

In the canyon, Lu Xuejiang found many creatures, and he used the B-9 submersible's own mechanical arm and capture net on the spot to collect a large net of fish, shrimp and crabs and other small creatures, a total of about one ton, dragged back to the Crystal Palace with a submersible!

These marine creatures are ironclad evidence of the existence of the ecosystem.

As for now, the Patrol Department has sent more teams, about a hundred saucer submersibles, to the coordinates he described in an orderly manner, with more specialized equipment, to carry out large-scale food gathering.

Distributing food in advance now is also a decision of the Crystal Palace management.

The reason is that due to the lack of food, many signs of instability have begun to appear in this undersea city! There are frequent law and order problems, and because the entire police station has been wiped out some time ago, the newly established police station is understaffed...... People are in dire need of a reassuring shot!

This glorious and very prestigious task fell on Lu Xuejiang's head, and no high-level official had the intention of competing for this credit.

After a series of "snatching" at the scene, Lao Zhang and Lao Wei each received something and returned home with a little trepidation.

Lao Zhang received a palm-sized crab and a small snail.

Lao Wei received an ugly flounder shaped like a leather boot.

On the way home, Lao Zhang's hand was pinched by a crab, but the eucalyptus maker quickly turned into a pot of soup, and the shell changed from blue to attractive red.

"Taste it." Lao Zhang looked at the two children at home.

The family sat around the small dining table, all of them were amazed, they were used to eating pureed food, where had they ever seen this real raw food?

The little girl couldn't help but break off a crab leg, and the little boy grabbed a crab claw.

The two clumsily pried the shell open, carefully tasting the few pieces of meat inside.

"Hmm...... It's delicious! "The eyes of the two little ones lit up immediately!

Actually, there was just a little salt in the pot, and there were no other seasonings, but the taste of this thing was ...... It's still incredibly sweet.

The two little guys, who are used to eating synthetic food puree, want to swallow it as usual! But this thing has a lot of shell and less meat, and the structure is complicated! Suddenly I was so anxious that my little face turned red.

"Be careful, I'll shell you." The mother of the two children, looking worried, began to help them peel the shells, carefully picking out the crab meat and placing it in front of the two little ones, while she herself gently sucked on the shells and crumbs, but also showed an intoxicated expression.

"This is the new food that the Patrol Department has found?" Lao Zhang tasted the snail next to him and sighed, "If it's all this kind of deliciousness, and the quantity can be enough, then Director Lu of the Patrol Department is really a life-saving benefactor for the people of the city......

————

About half a day later, at midnight.

The patrol department's hundreds of saucer-shaped submersibles finally returned to the Crystal Palace in anticipation.

Behind each submersible is a huge net full of all kinds of sea creatures!

Some of the citizens who saw this scene directly cheered, and the members of the patrol department quietly found Lu Xuejiang while unloading the goods, led by several squad leaders.

"Director, there's something I need to report to you." The faces of several squad leaders were not very good-looking.

"What's the matter?" Lu Xuejiang said.

"We were collecting food in the canyon...... Came across this. A captain pulled out a virtual video.

In the image, it is recorded that a crab-shaped submersible is cooperating in the arrangement of fishing nets, and at this time, a terrifying giant wrist foot sweeps over the canyon.

The video only captures less than 2 seconds of footage, so it is impossible to judge the length of the brachiopod, but the thickness is at least two meters in diameter.
