Chapter 223 A Rich Harvest
In this way, Jingshu, under the banner of "it is better to miss it than to let it go", actually saved several people, although some people were trapped underwater for other reasons.
During this period, I also happened to complete a task with a bounty of 800 virtual coins. I helped the client pull up a set of equipment in the mall. Due to the terrain, the salvage ship's machinery could not be extended in, and manual labor could not move such a heavy object in the water. Even if there were professionals equipped with oxygen tanks, it would take at least seven or eight people to drag it. It was really difficult to do it in the twists and turns in the water where there was almost no light.
Therefore, the flexibility of the shark submarine was fully utilized, and its 280 horsepower was really amazing for pulling things. Of course, in order to save trouble, Jingshu repeatedly confirmed that there were no living creatures or surveillance cameras around before putting it in the space, and then checked it out when it was almost on the surface.
Not to mention that Jingshu's Rubik's Cube Space is a really powerful plug-in, which has saved Jingshu a lot of diesel.
As time passed, the temperature began to drop from 3 degrees Celsius, and the dim day was about to turn pitch black, indicating the end of the day. Jingshu had not even encountered a nest of leeches. At least if she encountered a nest of leeches, she could go back and raise them.
"Did I use the wrong method again? Or should I just start a carpet search by myself?" Jingshu doubted her life and was ready to go back today.
"Time to call it a day, time to call it a day!"
"Everyone who has come up should not go down again. Line up and report the number of people. Each group should report the location and gains explored today. Mark the salvaged areas on the map. We will hold a regular meeting after everything is done!" Liu Xing wiped his sweat. The day was finally over. It was another day without any danger.
Jingshu looked and saw that with the sound of the horn, everyone around her stopped salvaging and came up one after another. There was no hope again. When she was about to leave, a voice attracted her attention:
"Where are the people from Group A10? Why are all three of them missing? Does anyone know how long Group A10 has been gone?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen them for a long time."
Jingshu, who was about to leave, suddenly brightened up and quickly asked them, "Which direction?"
"There used to be a large underground supermarket at six o'clock."
Then Jingshu drove away in a flash.
Large underground supermarkets are usually emptied, and this location is not on Jingshu's list of locations to be salvaged today.
What does this mean? It means that this is outside the mission.
"There's something fishy going on."
Jingshu drove the Shark Submarine all the way through the supermarket at a very fast speed, because the supermarket had been emptied long ago, even the shelves were gone. Occasionally, Jingshu would just drive past anything she bumped into. The Shark Submarine would only be used this year, and would be used less frequently in the future. Besides, she bought it for a few honeysuckle flowers, so it was cheap, so she didn't feel sorry for it at all.
The headlights shone underwater, Jingshu stared carefully, but still didn't find anyone. She had already passed the snack area, daily area, vegetable area, and non-staple food area of the supermarket, and was about to reach the fresh food area. Jingshu discovered clumps of densely packed things.
This is rotten and swollen pieces of meat. It is not ruled out that they are the corpses of humans or some creatures. These pieces of meat are full of carrion worms!
This place should have been a fish-killing platform and fish-raising place before the apocalypse. Perhaps the fishy and hot smell attracted flies and maggots, and then attracted unknown creatures. After being flooded, it attracted all kinds of insects.
Speaking of unknown creatures, Jingshu thought of a species of invasive creatures that appeared later. They liked all kinds of bloody smells, drank blood and ate meat, and their bodies were covered with necrotic and rotten meat. Each creature had countless carrion worms hanging on its body, and after being soaked, it appeared as this white rotten meat.
Their biggest characteristics are that they live in groups, spread viruses, and eat the carrion maggots on their companions. When they meet humans, they will excitedly attack. Jingshu encountered many group attacks of this species when she migrated in her previous life.
This creature was first spread by the virus of Australia's 'zombie deer'. Later, the species invaded other creatures and became more similar to wolves. Even Jingshu suspected that these guys evolved from wolves.
"It shouldn't appear so early." Jingshu shook her head. That kind of creature would not appear until at least a few years later, migrating from the cold places to the south with everyone else.
In addition to these, there are many more red nematodes underwater that have heard the news. They are not picky about energy and eat both vegetables and meat.
Therefore, such a large number of red nematodes gathered here, attracting leeches that reproduced wildly when there was food.
"This time it's a big one. I've never seen such a big group of leeches. No wonder these three people were left here. If one of them had gone up to call for help, they wouldn't have all died here." It's true that if you don't open a business once, you can make a living for three years after opening it.
Jingshu saw this familiar scene: three people were entangled together and covered with leeches, and one of them was holding a blood mushroom in his hand!
Sure enough, they found blood mushrooms here, but unfortunately, there were thousands and tens of thousands of leeches underwater. Even if you didn't get close, they would not stay still.
As long as one leech finds its target, countless leeches will chase it ferociously. In the water, Jingshu didn't even dare to show her head. Didn't you see that she never dared to go out of the submarine?
And in the middle of the leeches were piles of blood mushrooms, each one full of vibrant colors, more than a dozen in all! Jing Shu was simply overjoyed. This time, she didn't move a thing, just went all the way into the Rubik's Cube space to see if the blood mushrooms could reproduce. Jing Shu even moved all the water into the space.
The three people were dead, so Jingshu put the dead bodies, leeches, blood mushrooms, and a bunch of red nematodes into the space, and threw all the surrounding leeches into the space. The leeches and red nematodes occupied a total of 6 cubic meters of space.
Jingshu forcibly separated the three dead people, pulled them to the back of the shark submarine, and ran away. By the way, living people cannot enter the space, but dead people can be brought into the space.
In a hurry to go home and see the bountiful harvest, Jingshu swung the boat and put the three people back on the boat. Liu Xing shed tears of emotion and almost knelt down in front of Jingshu. When he saw that the three people were dead, he finally shed tears of excitement, "Quick, quickly give these three people a proper burial!"
Jingshu was also excited.
The first thing Jingshu did after arriving home was to go back to the second floor of the villa and lock herself in. Then she began to carefully observe the food chain. The leeches densely surrounded the blood mushrooms in the middle, and the red nematodes were pressed outside the circle by the leeches.
Jingshu finally understood how the leeches survived, because the leeches' mouthparts seemed to have evolved and could directly swallow the red nematodes.
