16. The world after nuclear radiation in the green sea.
Aoki Town.
This is a small town outside of Tokyo near the sea, and Toru Ito came here after a few train changes.
The town is a beautiful town, with an architectural style derived from the Edo period, and is full of ancient charm.
But as a passing tourist, Toru Ito didn't come here to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the town, but to find a special plant.
So, Toru Ito also embarked on the journey!
Toru Ito also began to walk through the dense mountain forest, holding his mobile phone in his hand, and the screen of the phone showed a bright picture of the plant, which was exactly what the poppies looked like when they bloomed and fruited.
In the previous place where Aoki Town was planted with sub-slices on a large scale, Toru Ito did not notice that the originally fertile land had been filled in and some ornamental trees were planted.
Toru Ito also searched for a long time, but found no remaining poppies, so he had to abandon this place and start walking towards the beach according to the search plan set before departure.
Toru Ito's first target before setting out was the base where opium had been cultivated on a large scale, and if he didn't find what he was looking for here, he could also search along the area near the sea.
This is because opium poppy cultivation requires a mild environment, with a certain amount of humidity and plenty of light.
Therefore, the area near the sea is a place that is very suitable for the growth of this plant.
Toru Ito also searched for information on the Internet, and some people said that they had occasionally seen a few plants on the beach, and they took pictures on purpose.
It was based on this information on the Internet that Toru Ito searched for the seaside area.
Before he reached the beach, Toru Ito saw a green boiling sea from a distance.
“? What's going on? ”
Toru Ito was also puzzled and puzzled.
"Why is the sea all green?"
"And it exudes an inexplicable attraction to me...... It's like returning to my mother's arms......"
Feeling the thought of the longing devouring in the veins of his body, Toru Ito also stopped moving forward and looked at the green sea, a little daunted.
In the face of the unknown, fear grows.
"What kind of information is available on the Internet in this green sea?"
Although Toru Ito didn't dare to move on, afraid of some hidden unknown danger, the mobile phone in his hand was not an ornament, and he soon began to search for the information he wanted from the Internet.
"Before the new era of the Commonwealth... August 24th... Nuclear radiation, sewage... Ocean... Contaminate... Mutation ......"
"I see, the reason why the blue sea has turned green is because of the discharge of nuclear wastewater......
“……”
After learning the reason for the emergence of that green sea, the unknown fear in Ito's heart suddenly dissipated, and he stood in place holding his mobile phone, and after thinking for a while, he still walked in the direction of the sea.
He is also a mutant human contaminated by nuclear radiation, and he has no fear of the green sea full of radiation.
On the contrary, staying in this radiation environment all the time, Ito Toru also had a feeling that the essence of his body was gradually sublimating slowly.
But this feeling of slow sublimation is just too slow!
According to Ito Tetsuya's estimate, if he wants to complete an all-round evolution, he will probably have to stay in this area for hundreds or even thousands of years!
That's a long evolutionary time!
It's better to devour the genes of other animals directly to accelerate his own evolution!
Therefore, the current Toru Ito can be regarded as on the right path.
When I arrived at the location of the beach, the original golden sand beach also showed a miserable green color, and an unpleasant smell emerged.
In the ebb and flow of the green water, occasionally some hideous creatures emerge, like fish, like human eyes and a single little leg, with both feathers and scales on their bodies, looking very curious.
According to the pictures on the Internet, the creature that Toru Ito also saw in the green sea turned out to be the previous sea fish?
"This mutation is too ugly, too weird, isn't it?"
The corners of Toru Ito's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't expect the originally good fish to become like this.
Sure enough, the physical distortion caused by nuclear radiation is really terrifying!
As Ito Toru got closer and closer to the sea, in the boiling green water, there were suddenly huge black shadows swimming on the surface of the sea, like a long snake, and like a human figure~
I don't know how the creatures in the sea were distorted and turned into such a strange appearance, Ito Toru also frowned, and is there an even more terrifying unknown creature inside?
Sou!
While Toru Ito was looking at the sea water and pondering, suddenly, a black shadow emerged from the green sea water, and then opened his mouth and spit out a green water arrow, spraying in the direction of Ito Tetsuya!
The firing speed of this green water arrow was very fast, almost reaching the speed of a pistol, and Toru Ito didn't pay attention for a while, and his head was directly blasted like a watermelon, and bright red blood splashed everywhere!
At this moment, the ghostly figure in the green sea water was clearly revealed, this is a fish-hunting man with a fish head, but only a pair of huge eyes, and a mouth and teeth that resemble one leg.
The thigh-shaped body parts of the fish-man have a mouth full of sharp teeth, and when they swim in the seawater, they actually swing the first few wide fins under their feet and swim towards the shore.
On the shore, the fish-man actually jumped on one foot and stepped on the beach, looking at Tetsuya Ito, who was killed by a headshot, the sharp teeth and mouth on his thighs kept opening and closing, and let out a piercing laugh:
"Where did stupid humans come from? Didn't you know that the seaside is the domain of our aberrant creatures? ”
"Still standing there motionless? Sure enough, just like the other fish in the sea say, humans are stupid and weak creatures! ”
After laughing, this strange fish man, who only had simple thinking and wisdom, was ready to jump forward and drag Ito's body back into the sea.
Just as the strange fish approached, Toru Ito, who was originally lying on the board, began to change his skin and flesh hidden under his clothes, as if he had life, and began to try.
Swish!
As the sound of tearing clothes came out, a sharp tentacle spike suddenly erupted from the originally dead Toru Ito's body, stabbing straight towards the strange fish man!
"Gaha!"
The strange fish man was taken aback, however, the seemingly sharp tentacles touched his body, but they could only tear the dirty, defenseless green membrane on his surface, and the green algae creature like flesh and fascia spread down from the strange fish's head, trying to wrap around the tentacles launched from Ito Tetsuya's body.
Soon, it seemed to sense that this strange fish-man was not easy to deal with, and when the fish-man's flesh and blood green algae entwined the tentacles, the tentacles that spread and stretched out quickly retreated.
Then, eight thick tentacles grew under Ito Toruya's body, turning into a completely weird human octopus, and was dragged away by the eight tentacles growing from his body.
“?!”
Looking at Tetsuya Ito, who was running away in the distance, it was obvious that he was a human introduced by other fish, but suddenly a tentacle like an octopus suddenly grew, and it was a strange fish man standing on one leg, showing a puzzled expression.
"What are you?!"
"What are you?!"
In the distance, he noticed that the strange fish man didn't seem to have any intention of pursuing, and Toru Ito, who ran out, also stopped, but still maintained the posture of running away at any time.
The thickest tentacle under Toru Ito's body is the cow that he devoured evolved.
The tentacles that were originally full of tentacles suddenly opened two flesh cracks in a strange way, and then, a pair of blood-red and constantly rotating eyes grew out of them.
A strange aura emanated.
Eyes grow, then mouths, noses, ears, and the already terrifying tentacles unexpectedly take on a vague human face.
The blurred face made a voice and roared hoarsely at the strange fish man, "What the hell are you?" Aberrant monsters in the sea? Why do you still talk? ”
"You're a monster, your whole family is a monster!"
"We fish-people are not like you weak human creatures!"
In the face of Tetsuya Ito's inquiry, the strange fish man scolded, and unexpectedly showed a posture of anger and wanted to attack.
Toru Ito, who had a human face growing out of the cow, also controlled the tentacles, looked curiously at the strange fish man with an angry look, pondered for a while, and decided to retreat, so he said, "Well, then you're not a monster, why did you suddenly attack me?" ”
Hearing Ito Tetsuya's inquiry, the strange fish man, who was angry and wanted to attack just now, suddenly stopped moving, and his hideous and terrifying face showed a bit of innocence, and replied bluntly: "Because I haven't eaten people for a long time, I want to taste your taste!" ”
"Good guys!"
Toru Ito was also shocked by the strange fish man's statement, and when he opened his mouth, he was eating people, and he said that he was not a monster.
"I see." After being silent for a while, Toru Ito also said in a quiet tone.
However, the strange fish man suddenly twisted his green and blue head, and said apologetically to Toru Ito: "But now I don't want to eat you, I thought you were human just now!" I didn't expect you to have tentacles on your body, it seems that you are still my kind, and you are not human! ”
"I'm sorry, Brother Octopus, I shouldn't have attacked you just now."
Toru Ito was also silent, controlling the tentacles, turning to look at his body that had been shot in the head, and the strange posture of now growing eight tentacles, it really has nothing to do with people: "Well, you fish is quite polite, you even know how to apologize." ”
"Of course we fish are polite!" The Strange Fish Man replied proudly.
Then, it asked curiously, "Brother Octopus, how many people do you eat at one meal?" ”
“……”
"Well, I haven't eaten it yet."
Toru Ito also hesitated to answer.
Hearing Tetsuya Ito's strange octopus man's words, the strange fish man didn't doubt it, and turned to a pity expression: "That's a pity, I heard that there is a group of delivery people who will automatically deliver food, and they often sacrifice to us, and you have become so good that you haven't eaten it!" Bad luck! ”
"I remember they were shouting about gods and stuff every day, and there was only the great Mother of the Deep over here! His shadow covers the sky and sleeps at the bottom of the dark abyss, and every time he wakes up, he causes a terrifying tsunami, and is the ancestor of our fishermen and other sea tribes! ”
"Brother Octopus, do you know those people who automatically deliver food?" The Strange Fish Man continued to ask.
Toru Ito also shook his head, but secretly guessed in his heart that according to the information in the mouth of the strange fish man, he was vaguely aware of what the evil god that the yellow-haired buck Katsu had met before was shouting in his mouth?
It turned out to be a cult that sacrificed sacrifices to the Mother of the Abyss in the deep sea?
And according to the strange fish people, most of the sacrifices turned out to be people.
Thinking of the reason why Katsu Buck has always been in love with Natsuka in Purple Palace, Toru Ito suddenly had an idea in his heart, does this guy want to use Natsuka Purple Palace as a sacrifice to the evil god?
In cults, the ritual of sacrificing a pure girl as a sacrifice to the gods emerges in an endless stream, and even a very classic sacrificial act.
"Hey, forget it, I won't talk to you, I've been staying on the shore, I feel dry skin, I'm going back to the sea."
Seeing that Toru Ito had not replied, the strange fish man's patience did not seem to be good, and after saying a word, he jumped towards the green nuclear radiation seawater.
Plop.
The strange fishman, who seemed to be clumsy, jumped back extremely quickly.
When the figure of the strange fish man disappeared under the green water, Toru Ito, who was revealed on the tentacles, showed a thoughtful expression, and then controlled the tentacles to retreat back.
When he arrived at a flat meadow, Toru Ito first retracted the neck where a few tentacles had grown on his body, and then the neck where his head was blown off, began to grow with tiny tentacles, and gradually spread into a round flesh mass with blurred flesh and blood.
There was a constant churning of blood-colored flesh, and soon, Tetsuya Ito's head grew again.
The current Toru Ito, as the strange fish man said just now, is really not a human anymore!
It is a new aberrant creature that can devour the genes of other creatures to evolve.
The reason why he still maintains the posture of a human is only because Toru Ito still has some human thoughts in his heart, and his understanding of his human identity has not been completely abandoned.
The head grows, the nose, the eyes, the mouth, the ears, and most importantly, the skin.
"Perfect."
Toru Ito on the cow was also very satisfied with the repair of his head, and a hideous smile appeared on his blood-colored pupils, and his sharp teeth kept biting, and then gradually calmed down, turning into a ball of flesh and blood again, and melting into the inside of his body.
All!
The sound of a heartbeat began to sound slowly, low, and powerfully.
Toru Ito also opened his eyes and sat up from the ground, a smile on his restored head.
"It's time to find what I want, as for the Evil God Society, and the Mother of the Abyss sleeping in the abyss at the bottom of the sea, these things will become stronger when I become stronger, and then slowly explore the secrets of this world in the future."
As the words fell, Toru Ito began to walk in the other direction.
