Chapter 268 Deep Virtual 95
Almost no one complained about the sudden business trip. After all, when it comes to money, even the biggest dissatisfaction has to be put aside for the time being. Besides, they had all been on business trips to other cities before, except for Xie Ning, so in their eyes, it was not a big deal.
It's just that it's changed from another city to an unknown little island.
Even knowing there were rebels on the ship, Annika continued to play as usual, unaffected in the slightest. In her view, if she were really targeted, hiding in her room wouldn't help; the example of Shen Xin was a stark reminder of that.
It's better to take advantage of the holiday and have as much fun as possible; it's too stifling to be stuck in the lab all week.
While following Anika around, Xie Ning discreetly headed towards the theater to check out the surroundings.
Silvermoon sent over the location of the warehouse where the experimental subjects were stored. Strictly speaking, it wasn't next to the theater; it was on the lower level. However, there was a connecting passage between the two, but the side leading to the warehouse was more secluded and heavily guarded, especially by the captain.
It wasn't until evening that Yinyue received a reply to the information she had inquired about.
There was indeed a big shot among the people watching the troupe's performance. Xie Ning looked at the man in the green suit in the photo with a hint of surprise in his eyes. Dr. Ji had talked to this man before, but the man was not interested in their experimental project.
The sun was barely out the next day. Anika took Xie Ning fishing again, but they still caught nothing. Jiang Teng and Xiao Li came this time and laughed when they saw this, "Maybe it's because of the serious pollution in the ocean in recent years that all the fish have died, haha."
That was obviously a joke, but things have been strange these past few days; not only them, but everyone else has had a hard time catching fish.
Xiao Li comforted him, "Perhaps it's because the boat is going too fast that it's not good for fishing."
Annika, however, refused to believe it and became determined to catch a fish. She never expected to like this kind of old man's sport, but she wanted to eat the fish she caught so badly that the sense of accomplishment was incomparable to any other activity!
However, even as the opera was about to begin, Anika still hadn't caught a fish. Only the little girl next door caught one, and seeing Anika's longing look, she gave it to Anika.
However, the waiter stopped the fish. Although they did not prevent passengers from fishing, they did not approve of eating wild fish.
Xie Ning's gaze fell on the fish's protruding sharp teeth and detached scales. She thought that Annika probably wouldn't have any appetite for such a fish.
Indeed, Annika silently jumped back a step, her little face turning pale with fright. "Is this a piranha? Its teeth are so long and sharp, it feels like it could bite my arm off in one bite."
The little girl in the yellow dress didn't seem to care. "There are plenty of fish in the ocean. This fish doesn't look like a piranha. It's probably a mutation."
Given the severity of nuclear contamination, it's normal for fish in the sea to mutate.
Annika looked dejected. "I watched a documentary before, and the fish they caught looked so delicious. They couldn't possibly look so fierce and ugly."
She had never been to sea before and had never followed news about it, so she didn't know that fish in the sea were like that.
"That's not entirely true. Let's go fishing again next time. The opera is about to start, let's go."
"Are you going to see 'The Night of the Clowns'?" The little girl in the yellow dress followed us. "Can I come with you?"
"Did you buy a ticket too?" Annika asked in surprise. Over the past two days, she and the little girl had developed a mutual appreciation as fishing buddies.
“My brother bought it, but I didn’t want to watch it with him; he’s too flashy.”
Hearing the little girl's complaints, Xie Ning and Annika couldn't help but laugh. When they actually saw the little girl's brother, Annika immediately lowered her head and echoed the little girl's words about her brother being flamboyant, while Xie Ning was somewhat surprised.
Because the little girl's brother is the man in the green suit in the photo that Yinyue sent her.
Actually, the green suit is quite high-quality and doesn't look particularly bad. It's just that the man also dyed his hair a bright green, which must have been done later, because he still had black hair in the photo, which makes it seem a bit flamboyant.
The little girl looked at Xie Ning and Annika with an expression of unbearable disapproval, urging them to hurry up.
