338. The Cruel Truth

She didn't forget the scene when the "gray" foreign force before was stuffed into her mouth after being grouped together by this little guy and "tortured to extract confessions" without any use value.

Obsidian thought to herself, she knew.

If it were her, wandering alone in a foreign country, she would definitely want to figure out where she came from and where her hometown was.

Obsidian wasn't just an ordinary little spider, she always knew it.

"I'll be with you."

Tang Qinqin didn't object anymore, held the obsidian in the palm of his hand, and patted Ah Hu.

"Ah Hu, help me and send me over."

The condition of the sick killer whales who drank the water of life did not continue to deteriorate, although they still looked listless, Ah Hu could feel that they were slowly improving.

It glanced at Tang Qinqin gratefully, then responded happily and swam towards the sea where a large number of animal remains were floating.

As for whether it is afraid or not?

Afraid, of course afraid.

Not to mention its status as a gamer, even if it is just an ordinary killer whale in nature, it is willing to do it when it meets a "friend" and needs its help.

What's more, she had just helped its people.

However, when Tang Qinqin was still some distance away from his final destination, he asked Ah Hu to stop.

"Ah Hu, it's okay to get here. I have the rest of the way, you go back. ”

She gently patted Ah Hu's head as a token of gratitude.

"Can't I go along?"

Ah Hu raised his head and arched Tang Qinqin affectionately with his head, in order to ask for more comfortable stickers.

"It's dangerous there, don't go there."

"Go back and see how they're doing, be observant, try to find food elsewhere, and don't touch fish that look weird."

After Tang Qinqin told him repeatedly, he let it go back.

"Qin, then be careful!"

Ah Hu swam away step by step.

Tang Qinqin took the inflatable boat and checked his protective equipment again, and then slowly approached the destination.

"Little Stone, can you make sure you're safe?"

Tang Qinqin saw that the little guy was eager to try, and hurriedly asked.

Obsidian nodded obediently.

"I don't feel like there's any danger there, just an inexplicable attraction."

"Good. Let's go, go and see. ”

She also wanted to re-examine the cause of death of these sea creatures.

Obsidian took a few steps forward, then turned his head to look at Tang Qinqin.

"You have to protect yourself. It's not a threat to me, but it's probably very unfriendly to you. ”

Seeing the worry in its eyes, Tang Qinqin smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

A flash of shyness flashed in Obsidian's eyes, and he turned around and strode forward with his head held high proudly.

One person and one spider bowed their heads and got busy.

The remains of the creatures here were probably thickly piled up for a while, and the scorching sun exposed the part that was covered underneath was "fermented at high temperatures", resulting in a thick and choking odor.

Even though Tang Qinqin was prepared in advance, he accidentally inhaled a breath and almost died on the spot.

The smell is indescribable.

After approaching here, I found that not all the creatures here are burping, but also dying and struggling, and the biggest in the world, and they don't care about eating anything.

In line with the principle of life first, Tang Qinqin tried his best to simply treat the animals that were still alive and worthy of rescue.

The so-called treatment is to feed them life water.

After all, the medical skills she learned looked at people, and she was really wrong with fish and birds.

However, it is still not a problem to see through the surface of their skin.

"Hey, why do you have so many little bubbles in your body?"

She casually took a look and saw that something was wrong.

In the bodies and internal organs of these violently killed animals, there are different degrees of bubbles attached, and the dense small bubbles make the human scalp numb.

After careful inspection, Tang Qinqin was surprised to find that these bubbles were still being generated, even though the animals were already cold corpses.

In other words, there is a substance in their body that can continue to break down their bodies into "bubbles" even if their flesh loses its vitality.

Tang Qinqin was curious about the composition of these "bubbles".

However, Obsidian hurried over to stop her.

"Qinqin, don't touch them yet, there are dangerous substances in them, one of them is the one you talked about before, the methane!"

It waved its slender legs anxiously, for fear that Tang Qinqin wouldn't notice.

"Methane?"

Tang Qinqin was stunned for a moment, and then looked around at the surrounding sea.

She couldn't help but feel a tingle in her scalp.

The planet is already suffering from excessive amounts of greenhouse gases, and the Arctic region, which is deeply affected by global warming, is just about to come back to life if this methane escapes into the atmosphere......

"Little Stone, has your problem been solved?"

She looked anxiously at obsidian.

"Obsidian is out, what else are you worried about."

At the mention of this, it proudly straightened its belly, and its hind legs slashed, and a "white ball" tightly wrapped in cobwebs appeared in front of it.

"Well, that's it." Obsidian unceremoniously kicked the "white ball" that was still shaking, "According to you humans, it should be a virus, because these creatures have its shadow in their bodies. ”

Tang Qinqin's eyes widened in shock.

She knew that Obsidian had strange abilities on her body, but she never thought that this guy would be able to catch a "virus".

What is a virus?

The introduction of it in the book is as follows: viruses are the smallest and simplest non-cellular microorganisms.

It must parasitize in living cells and proliferate in a replicating fashion.

It is said to be non-cellular because it does not have a complete cellular structure.

The size of the virus is usually measured in nanometers.

Such a small "small point" that humans need to use a microscope to see clearly, obsidian is so easy to hold and pinch?

Perhaps, this is not actually a virus, because it is still active in the bodies of inactive animals, which is contrary to what humans usually think.

Tang Qinqin decided to figure out his doubts.

She took out her tools and extracted a lot of small bubbles from the animal's body, and collected some of the animal's tissue.

Then take a closer look.

Thanks to her game-enhanced vision, she worked a little harder, and with the help of microscopic tools, she finally confirmed that this thing that did not look like a virus was indeed a virus.

Another confirmed truth is that the virus that caused the violent death of animals in the tundra is not the same as the one in the ocean.

"In other words, there are at least two viruses that have escaped, so that no place on land, sea and air is safe, but wherever there is life, there is danger."

So far, there has been no relevant feedback from the World Health Organization, and there has been no news from various sectors of society, but this does not mean that the human world is safe.

It is not clear whether plants will be affected by the virus, but whether animals run on the ground, swim in the water, or even fly in the sky, there is definite evidence that they are the best choice for the virus to select its host.
