039 Goo's toad
Xia Yang raised his eyebrows, "Okay, let the master see you!" ”
She walked up the suspension bridge alone.
When I walked to the middle of the bridge, a huge strip suddenly shot up from the lake below the bridge.
The tip of that thing was like a round ball, like a meteor hammer that went straight to Xia Yang.
Xia Yang was only so respectful when he was facing Jiang Chen.
At this moment, the green light in her eyes flashed, and her long hair flowed.
There is no fancy.
With his right hand clenched into a fist, he struck at the thing.
From the perspective of others, the contrast between the fast-to-fast object and Xia Yang's slowing down motion was very strong and weird.
But Jiang Chen knew that it was a punch from Xia Yang with all his strength.
Slowest vs. fastest!
This kind of slowness just seems to be slow.
This is a punch that touches the object.
"Poof!"
It's like bursting a soap bubble.
The round thing disappeared without a sound.
Immediately, there was a faint smell of blood in the air.
The rest quickly retracted into the water.
"Still want to run?"
She didn't know when, but her left hand had already grabbed the thing.
"Come up for me!"
She pulled her hand slightly, "Wow! ”
Something bigger than an adult elephant was pulled out of the water by her.
Throw it on the shore, "Quack! ”
Jiang Chen fixed his eyes and saw that it was actually a huge toad.
The one that was knocked out by Xia Yang just now was its tongue.
It's not a corpse beast.
"Master, this is the Gu Toad."
Xia Yang floated lightly to Jiang Chen's side.
The Gu frog "croaked" and kept retreating, his eyes full of fear.
"The Gu Toad? I haven't really heard of it. ”
"It's artificially bred and genetically improved."
"You're a biologist, you give me popular science."
"This matter starts with the 'Day of Destruction', when mankind entered the century-old cave dwelling era."
On the other hand, on the surface, it has also entered the "nuclear dust era" for a hundred years.
All plants and animals are almost extinct.
Fortunately, the world's major countries have their own gene banks and seed banks.
Therefore, in order to solve the problem of human food, genetic improvement technology has entered a period of rapid development.
And the simplest and crudest of them is gigantic.
Like the most common carnivores, chickens, ducks, geese, etc., through genetic technology, they are huge.
This technology solved the problem of meat eating for the remaining human beings at that time, and it was really indispensable.
This is just one example.
In the cave-dwelling era, terrestrial technology was almost lost.
But it also contributed to the explosion of underground life technology.
There is a saying that "is full of warmth and hidden desires." ”
When the food and clothing were settled, those powerful people began to think about entertainment and pastime.
After that, all kinds of inexplicable creatures appeared.
Some families have even set up their own biological laboratories for this.
It has also given birth to a complete industrial chain, which is almost second only to food in scale.
"This Gu toad was a pet kept by some nobles at that time."
"Since everything is eaten, and there seems to be no upper limit to the size of the body."
"It's also a good tool for disposing of corpses."
Jiang Chen really didn't know much about this, although he was also living underground at that time.
But the meat was all frozen and cut into pieces, and he had only seen the usual things that could be named.
"Then why did humans return to life on the surface after dealing with nuclear fallout?"
"I've never seen any of these things?"
"It's been a secret until now."
"I heard some gossip from my great-grandfather."
"Legend has it that among the controlling figures at the top of the industrial chain, opinions are divided into two factions."
"One group thinks that it is so difficult for human beings to return to life on the surface, and those things that do not conform to nature cannot be brought to the surface."
"Just like nuclear technology, which caused the apocalyptic catastrophe, it is also against nature."
"Once this kind of biotechnology gets out of control, one day in the future, mankind will encounter a catastrophe of extinction."
"This school of thought can be called 'naturalism.'"
"On the other hand, there is a view that genetic technology is the future of mankind."
"Humans can even use this technology to immortalize themselves."
"Let's call this the 'genetic faction.'"
"How can there be such a thing?" Jiang Chen said.
During the hundred years of underground cave dwelling, he has been busy saving people.
People who have been contaminated by nuclear contamination, people who have been genetically affected by nuclear contamination, children that they have born.
At that time he wished he had a hundred and a thousand hands.
So I didn't care much about those things at all.
"Well, it was the 'naturalistic' forces that prevailed later, and in order to put an end to the 'genetics' will make a comeback in the future."
"At that time, under the supervision of force, the 'genomics' were forced to destroy all samples, finished products and technical documents in laboratories around the world."
"So the creatures we saw on the ground later basically belonged to natural evolution."
Jiang Chen completely understood at this time.
"Then this one was the pet of the Khmer royal family at that time?"
"Well, there's no other possibility."
"Maybe there's more than one here."
"Did that guy chase the other toads?"
"This toad can only coexist if it is about the same size, otherwise the big one will eat the small one."
Before the words fell, Invincible went ashore on the opposite side.
There are still a few bites in the mouth.
It is the long tongue of the ancient toad.
It caught three at once.
After pulling them ashore, Invincible ate them on the spot.
But it only eats the venom glands on the toad's back.
After eating the three, he ran over and ate this one too.
"It's strange that you like to eat poison?"
Nameless licked his lips and ran into the lake to wash himself.
Jiang Chen and Xia Yang crossed the suspension bridge, walked to the opposite bank, and looked at the three Gu toads.
On the shore of this place, there is a wooden boardwalk that extends into the lake, which seems to be a wharf.
One of them was found to have a two-finger-thick chain wrapped around its hind legs.
But he didn't care, and continued to walk forward.
Xia Yang is interested, could it be that there is something else in this water?
But Jiang Chen didn't see anything.
Walking along the shore, it was full of cave walls.
"Isn't it, there's still a secret passage here?"
Jiang Chen was also annoyed by these secret holes.
These royal families always have a kind of persecution paranoia that "there are always people who want to harm me".
Jiang Chen looked back and saw that Xia Yang was struggling to pull the chain.
"With Xia Yang's strength, there are ten cows in it that can be pulled out, what is so heavy?"
He walked over to Xia Yang as he spoke.
"Master, this thing is so heavy, and I'm afraid that it will break if I push hard."
Jiang Chen looked at it, "This chain is in two directions, I'll pull the other end and try it." ”
The one that Xia Yang pulled was towards the center of the lake.
He pulled up the chain at the other end.
It didn't take long for one end of the chain to be found.
It is about 10 meters from the shore and about half a meter below the surface of the lake.
This chain extends from the ground above the shore.
"Hehe, although you are one level higher than me, you don't seem to be too smart."
Xia Yang said: "Master, this is just empiricism, it has nothing to do with wisdom, okay?" ”
