Chapter 105 bat
Anyway, the boat was saved, and everyone was relieved.
The fire will grow in the wind, and these mutant creatures will help the combustion. For a while, there will be a tendency to become uncontrollable. Some people still hide in the cabin and dare not come out. When the temperature rises, the cabin door is scalded. It’s harder to come out.
When everyone exited the right side of the cabin, some people were crying for “help,” but they were ignored.
There was a thunder in mid-air, and a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, illuminating the sky.
With this thunder, water droplets fell with a sound of ‘patter’, hitting the ship’s string deformed by the seabirds, but was quickly evaporated under the fire.
At first, Song Qingxiao thought that the drops of water were the drops of blood from the two workers who had been caught in the sky before, but then the sound of water dripped again, but it was getting more and more. fast.
Since yesterday afternoon, the weather has been gloomy, and the sun is firmly covered by dark clouds. This rain, which has been delayed for several hours, has come at this time!
Song Qingxiao was surprised and delighted. The rain fell very fast. At first, it was still a drop or two, but in an instant it started to fall. The rain was heavy and pouring.
Those flying mutant creatures above their heads met the rain as if they had encountered natural enemies. They threw the bodies of the two workers away, screaming and trying to hide, but where could they hide now?
Their wings were originally thin, and they became extremely heavy when they were wetted by water, and they couldn’t be waved again, and they fell into the sea one after another.
In this way, it was even more help from the heavens and the team. The danger of being attacked by the mutant creatures on the boat was temporarily relieved. Although the right side of the boat was on fire, there was a timely rain, and the fire was rushed quickly.
Under the thick smoke, Mr. Zhou and others who had been hiding inside the ship finally couldn’t stand it anymore. They were wearing isolation suits, covering their mouths with things, and coughing out.
There is already a mess outside, and some mutant creatures that have not yet died are still crawling on the ground. When Mr. Zhou saw this scene, his face showed disgust and fear.
There are still a lot of these injured mutant creatures, but compared with the previous number, it’s just a drop in the bucket.
But even so, Mr. Zhou was still very shocked.
Zhou Xueli and some of his remaining bodyguards followed him every step of the way. Whenever a mutant creature approaches, a bodyguard will smash it with the **** of the rifle.
Several scientists next to him squatted down. Someone held an umbrella with one hand. He cautiously caught a mutant creature whose wings had been burned for the most part. The mutant creature that was no longer moving rose up, looking at it, he thought it was already dead. The animal suddenly grinned and bit into the man’s hand with one bite.
“Be careful.”
When Mr. Zhou saw this scene, he immediately reminded him anxiously, but it was too late.
It’s strange to say that the mutant creature’s fur is extremely fragile and easy to kill, but the pair of canine teeth is extremely sharp.
The scientist was wearing a special glove, but at this time, the glove shattered like a thin paper under the teeth of the mutant creature.
Hearing the person’s painful cry of “Ah”, he subconsciously threw this mutant creature to the ground, and it was illuminated by the lightning that illuminates the sky. Everyone clearly saw that two of his gloves were bitten out. The hole comes.
The blood bead gushed from the wound very quickly, and was washed away by the rain water pouring down from the edge of the umbrella.
He resisted the pain, took off his gloves, and a gentle face was pale with pain.
Song Qingxiao watched this scene thoughtfully, and had a new understanding of the tenacious vitality of the mutant creatures on the island.
“What are these things?”
The injured scientist was holding a dripping blood and trembling hand, unable to grasp the umbrella, and fell to the ground. The rain hit his hair, making him extremely embarrassed:
“Perhaps, maybe it’s a bat, a bat.”
He had just glanced at it briefly before and made a rough estimate, and his tone was not sure when he said it.
After all, with genetic changes, the appearance and characteristics of many animals have long been very different from their original initial forms. Without DNA testing, no one would dare to guarantee this at this time.
“Bat? How can bats appear in the sea?”
I don’t know whether it was due to lack of ability or other reasons. Before Mr. Zhou and the others came out, No. 7 had already returned to a human form.
“Not to mention that the bat doesn’t have an echolocation function, how can it hit a ship?”
She frowned, her shoulder still hurt, her face turned pale at this time, and she raised several questions in a row:
“Not to mention the number is too much.”
“These mutant creatures look similar to bats. They rest during the day and appear at night and gather in groups, which are in line with the characteristics of bats.”
The bitten scientist’s face turned pale, and Mr. Zhou signaled to retreat under the eaves of the boat to treat the wound.
If you want to go to the island to obtain the gene of the mutant animal and continue Mr. Zhou’s research, these scientists must not be injured. Mr. Zhou specially sent two bodyguards armed with guns to follow him.
Several other scientists stayed, and after listening to the question on the 7th, answered her question:
“As for the number and why the ship collided, it may be related to genetic changes.”
When the talking scientist talked about this, he subconsciously looked back at Mr. Zhou Young Song Qing saw his expression in his eyes, and a thought came into his heart.
Mr. Zhou’s experiments back then were flawed, otherwise he would not abandon such an excellent experimental base.
If her guess is true, and the scientist who spoke is not wrong, if it is indeed a bat colony that attacked the ship tonight, then she can basically guess what happened to Mr. Zhou’s experiment that year.
“Is the reproduction rate of bats high?”
Song Qingxiao suddenly asked. The scientist pushed his glasses in embarrassment. The rain was so heavy that almost the sea and the sky were connected by the rain. He hit the umbrella and made noises, and quickly turned it off. The fire is extinguished.
But the umbrella couldn’t stop the rain a bit, and many still poured in along the wind, hitting dense drops of water on his glasses.
He wanted to reach out and take off the glasses and wipe them clean, but he couldn’t do it several times. On the contrary, because of the wind and rain, he almost couldn’t hold the umbrella. Song Qing looked down on him and stretched out his hand against the rain. The umbrella grabbed it and held it for him so that he could free up his hand.
“Thank you.”
He whispered a word, took off his glasses and wiped it, and said:
“The reproduction rate of bats is not high. They are mammals. They also delay fertilization due to hibernation.”
As soon as the scientist’s voice fell, Song Qing urinates with a smile.
In other words, if it is determined that the mutant creatures that attacked the ship tonight are bats, they will hit the ship and have a large number, which is completely opposite to some of the characteristics of bats.
It is worth noting that their claws are sharp, their bodies are huge, and their destructive power and hunting ability are far greater than those of bats known to everyone. Combined with Mr. Zhou’s failed experiments and what he has said, it seems that Song Qingxiao almost It can be guessed that Mr. Zhou did the experiment that year.
