Chapter 146: Drifting
Martin said: "There are also Joseph and Steve, I wonder they are still alive, and there are also some people who have disappeared inexplicably, such as the little black fat man of the expeditionary force. Well, there's no point in you staying there now, and I'd suggest you come back soon. ”
Lulu said, "Well, I'll arrange for the drone to hide some surveillance equipment around the island before leaving." ”
Martin said, "What about this hole? Shouldn't it be blown up? ”
Lulu smiled and said, "No, no, no, this place is a historical site after many years, witnessing a lot of things, and it will become a museum in a few hundred years." In addition, the big dog cleaned up the waste residue from the furnace outside and took it away. ”
Martin said, "Are you worried about him destroying something?" ”
Lulu said, "Duozu, it's the body of the big black Wooenki, it was thrown into the furnace and burned, I wonder if I'm lucky, I can find some of its wreckage so that I can study the mysteries of Wooenki's stealth and fire-breathing." ”
Martin rubbed his hands together and said, "Ah, I'm very interested in this research direction." Then, you can also have people look for some samples of biological residues in the caves, especially in these rooms. ”
Lulu said, "yes, it would be nice to get Uenki's feces, skin debris or something." I'll use my computer to search for Muma's memories again to see where the two Wooenki are sleeping, and if she knows where they have excreted. ”
The Sea of Hope, the name given by David himself when he was on Earth, is located in the east and west of the continent of Eden, one-third larger than the Pacific Ocean on Earth. Its surface extends to the west and north shores of the southern side of Proxima Centauri B, a southern part of the dark side, called the Dark Continent, and the northern part of the dark side, called the south coast of the Resurrection Continent.
At this moment, the northwest sea of the Sea of Hope is sparkling and breezy.
A small raft made up of a few thick light brown tree trunks was floating on the water, swaying up and down with tiny waves.
The raft was rectangular, two meters long and one meter wide, with four ropes three meters long tied to each of the four corners, and the ends of these four ropes were tightly entwined.
In the center of the raft, a rugged, 40-centimeter-high microscope is tightly tied with string.
At both ends of the microscope, two barrel-shaped iron pots with a diameter of 30 cm and a height of 30 cm are also tied with ropes, and there is a matching iron pot lid with an inverted U-shaped handle.
The lid of one of the pots is covered and held in place with a rope, while the lid of the other pot is placed on the side.
In addition, a machine gun wrapped in animal skins, which was originally designed for Duozu and is now used exclusively for Zoya, and a steel ammunition box filled with bullets are fastened to the side.
Inside the open iron pot, covered with thick animal skins, almost one-third of the height of the bottom of the iron pot, the marmoset David, was lying on the animal skin at this time, pillowing his small camouflage backpack, holding a small helmet and looking at the dark blue sky in a daze.
A few minutes later, a puddle of water suddenly appeared on the otherwise dry side of the raft, staining the light brown wood a dark brown.
More than thirty centimeters from the upper part of the raft, a black creature half a meter long and wide was suspended.
The creature is cross-shaped, looking like two Earth leeches spliced together, except that there should be bones in its body, so the four torsos of this strange "cross" creature are about five centimeters thick and the hands and the like.
As the raft tossed gently, David knew that it was the little golden Woo Enkizoa, which was more than a meter long, had returned with food.
When Zoya, who was still invisible, threw the prey on the raft, David took out his *** from his backpack, climbed out of the iron pot, and came to the side of the cross creature to observe carefully, only to see that the guy brought back by Zoya was still alive, but there seemed to be no intention of escaping, and the four ends of the cross had a small left and right opener, and there was a set of teeth inside, which were being closed one by one.
David looked at the monster, then at where Zoya should be, and said, "I've never seen this thing before, can you eat it?" ”
Zoya said: "Zoya has never seen it... When I saw it was fun, I tried to catch it. Just now, I ate one, and it was delicious. ”
David shook his head and said to Zoya, "Hold this guy." ”
Seeing the creature deflated in the middle, David raised his knife and slashed at one of its end mouthparts ten centimeters back.
By his touch, David felt that the knife only cut into his black silky skin for two or three centimeters before being stopped by the bone.
At the same time, a stream of green liquid quickly flowed from the wound, and David immediately withdrew the knife while taking two steps back.
After receiving a stab, the creature began to struggle silently, and the remaining three ends that were not cut quickly rose upwards and bit fiercely towards Zoya's stealthy front paws.
"Click! Bah! Click! Bah! Click! Bah! ”
After Zoya bit off the other party's three mouthparts one by one, he said, "It's really annoying, when I was about to eat the first one just now, too, like this, bite me." ”
David held down one of the mouthparts that had been spit onto the raft by Zoya, and cut off a small piece of flesh from the back of it with a knife, brought it to the microscope, put it on the stage, and said to Zoya, "Pick me up, I will use the microscope to see." ”
Since the microscope was taller than David's body as a marmoset, he originally had a wooden stool that allowed him to climb above the microscope to observe, but because he was too hasty to escape, he could save the things he carried, so he didn't bring a wooden stool.
Zoya held David above the microscope, David looked through the eyepiece for a while, and said, "It's a pity that there is no electron microscope, so I can't see any viruses, but I don't see strange parasites or bacteria or anything." Let me down. ”
Zoya put David down and said, "What is a virus, what is a bacteria." Zoya remembers listening to you and Muma, is there a difference between them? It seems to be something that makes you sick. ”
"Yes, bacteria are very small creatures, and some of them can make us sick," David said. Viruses are smaller, non-cellular organisms that, as the name suggests, can also make us sick. Including Zhuoya, don't think that you won't get sick if you're strong, you should pay attention to yourself, don't eat everything. ”
Zhuoya walked to the microscope, looked at the eyepiece for a while, and said, "Those human beings, they are really powerful, they can build big planes, and they can build this, microscopes, and look at small things." ”
David said, "Lao Tzu is also a human being. ”
