Chapter 776 Nieride 11
That's... a fish scale.
Inserted vertically into the man's calf.
Wang Xiaoming happened to be sitting next to him, and then he reached out and pulled it hard.
The scale had sunk at least two centimeters into his skin, deeper than he'd imagined. It was thin, yet very hard. The top section had the shape of a normal fish scale, while the bottom section was a long, inverted triangle.
He found it hard to imagine what kind of fish it was that had such long scales.
He was lost in thought as he held the scales in his hand. Someone interrupted him, "It's this kind of fish scale again."
"What?"
Wang Xiaoming looked at the man who had just saved someone.
"A strange fish has appeared in this sea area. It likes to attack people. Several pearl divers have been injured by it. Its characteristic is that it will attack people with its scales."
“There’s this kind of fish?”
"There wasn't any before, but two months ago, the government approved the release of a batch of polluting chemical raw materials into this area.
Later, this strange fish appeared.
Several people have been injured by this thing, and it has left some residual effects. After recovery, the pearl divers are afraid to go back to the sea.
Do you know the man on the shore who's in charge of cultured pearls? He used to be one of us, but after he got injured, he used his connections to get a job as a manager."
Wang Xiaoming knew this all too well, but he was a little skeptical. "What kind of chemical raw material is so powerful?"
"Humph, who knows what they are pouring." The man became angry when he heard this, and muttered a few words to curse the people in power.
Because of the delay, they came back late.
The pearl collector had already left, so they could only sell them tomorrow. Because of this, Wang Xiaoming had to postpone his plan to find a place to rent for a day.
Back at the bridge, the homeless man was still there, and it was unclear whether he was dead or alive. The food he had bought yesterday was gone, and plastic bags and mineral water bottles were scattered around where he had slept.
Did he wake up?
Wang Xiaoming casually denied his own thoughts, his lying position unchanged. There were many people in the bridge tunnel, and it was hard to say who had eaten the food.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but touch the bag of pearls hanging on his chest and hidden inside his clothes.
The coat was wrapped tighter around him.
night.
Wang Xiaoming didn't dare to fall asleep with a big bag of pearls in his pocket. Suddenly, he felt someone reaching out to him, and he opened his eyes suddenly.
The sour smell of vomit hit Wang Xiaoming. The man who had been in a coma for two days had unexpectedly woken up. He was a little surprised, but then his nerves tensed up.
The streetlights outside the bridge tunnel were bright, providing some light to prevent the inside from being completely dark. The man, who had just woken up, hugged his body, his eyes flashing a wild green light in the dim environment.
"I'm so thirsty..."
A dry and hoarse voice came out of his mouth, like glass rubbing against fine sand.
"I have money, go buy something to drink."
Wang Xiaoming stood up suddenly and took out ten survival coins while backing away.
The man didn't answer, but approached him with a somewhat abnormal pace, "I, I'm so thirsty!"
This is really weird.
Wang Xiaoming frowned, crumpled the money into a ball, threw it in his face, and quickly moved away from him. Instinctively, he ran outside the bridge and watched his movements from a distance.
The man didn't pick up his money, but instead staggered towards another person who was very close to him.
The snoring sounds in the cave drowned out the man's voice.
"I'm so thirsty..."
