Chapter 275 Deep Virtual Reality 102
Upon hearing this, the other guards hesitated. This fish was too ferocious, and they didn't know if Zhan Lin could handle it. However, they could not disobey Professor Lillian's orders.
Meanwhile, Xie Ning pursed her lips tightly, opened the toolbox on the ground, and began searching for the wire fishing net. Professor Lillian, protected by a line of guards, didn't care at all whether Zhan Lin was in danger, not only for Zhan Lin, but also for everyone else.
She wanted the strange fish, and she wouldn't allow it to be killed by violence.
"You're really strong."
Zhan Lin snorted, then increased the strength in her hands, forcefully picked up the fish by the tail, and slammed the big fish onto the deck with a loud thud, making the deck tremble.
The fish was dark blue all over, as thick as a human thigh, and about 1.5 meters long. It had long black bony spurs on its tail and was struggling on the deck, thrashing its tail. People around it kept their distance.
Xie Ning controlled the steel wire fishing net to surround the big fish. Even so, because the fishing net was tough, the fish still struggled incessantly. It was extremely strong. Even though it was caught in the fishing net, it still darted up like a snake and attacked people everywhere.
Xie Ning tightened the fishing net, and the fish seemed to have noticed Xie Ning's control of the net. It then rushed towards Xie Ning, its mouth full of sharp, silvery teeth aimed at him even through the net.
Xie Ning noticed a black spike in the fish's mouth, his gaze darkened, and after dodging it, he took out a thumb-sized sharp instrument from his pocket and stabbed it into the fish's eye. He pressed the button on the top, and the anesthetic fluid contained in the hollow instrument was instantly injected into it.
This is a fast-acting anesthetic, and with such a large quantity, the big fish will collapse in just three seconds.
When the fish fell onto the deck, the people who had been scrambling around like headless flies finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The bolder ones also came closer to observe the anesthetized fish, and some even asked Moss, "Moss, what kind of fish is this?"
"The blue stonefish lives at depths of 500 meters or more..."
"I'd heard of fish mutations before, but I never imagined they could mutate so dramatically. I remember the blue stonefish was quite beautiful."
"Yeah, how did she become so fierce? And ugly too."
......
"This fish is too fierce... I'm never fishing again." Annika clung to the railing, her face pale with fright. The fish she had caught before, though some were ugly, were never this fierce.
Are you alright?
Xie Ning walked to Zhan Lin's side and looked at her other hand. The metal arm could be repaired, but the left hand, which was still flesh and blood, was not so easy to deal with. That fish must have mutated, and the wound would be bad if it got infected.
Of course, there was another boatman whose arm was bitten off by a big fish, but he had already been carried off the boat.
“Take the fish away,” Professor Lillian said, then walked over to Shening and picked up the spike she had just used. “What is this? How can it subdue a fish?”
"The self-defense tool I made is hollow inside and injected with an anesthetic." It was made by Rella, it works very well, and such weapons are quite common.
Therefore, Professor Lillian simply nodded and praised Shen Ning a few times before hurrying off to the ship's laboratory with the other professors.
"You're too brave, Xiao Ning."
Jiang Teng, who rushed over after hearing the commotion, patted his heart; he had been terrified.
"I'm just giving it a try. If I'm not brave, I'll probably get hurt too..." Before he could finish speaking, someone next to him made a vomiting sound. Only then did the tense crowd realize that the deck smelled strangely fishy, and their faces turned pale.
Xie Ning wasn't feeling too good either, but she still managed to look at the sea. The sea was pitch black. Xie Ning picked up a piece of bait from the bucket and threw it out. Several fish immediately swam up. Although they weren't as big as the previous fish, they were still very fierce.
Seemingly influenced by the bait Xie Ning had just thrown, the fish on the ground thrashed against the bottom of the boat, making a loud "thump thump thump" sound.
"What's going on?" The others were curious but dared not look at the side of the boat, for fear of encountering another ferocious fish like that. The scene of the boatman having his arm bitten off was still vivid in their minds.
"There are fish underground, but don't worry, the ship is made of sturdy materials and will not be affected."
After all, it was the second ship of the Canlis; if its quality wasn't up to par, it wouldn't be presentable.
"Moss, activate the sonic attack to drive them away," the deputy said, rushing over, before directing the others to clean up the scene.
"Okay, bio-sound waves have been activated. The fish should swim away within ten seconds."
Zhan Lin asked curiously, "Are there really such methods of expulsion?"
Xie Ning followed Zhan Lin to the medical room, and upon hearing this, she smiled and explained, "The sonic repellent is modeled after the natural predators of fish to drive away schools of fish..."
She learned a lot from Jiang Teng on her first day.
"I see. So the sound waves from the fish's natural predators attract other predators?"
"No, the sound waves have a limited range. They can drive away schools of fish, but they won't attract predators."
After saying that, he pointed to Zhan Lin's prosthetic limb, "Although it is not damaged, you should still clean it carefully when you get back, as that mutated fish may be carrying radioactive material."
Moreover, the fish smelled terrible. Because she and Zhan Lin were closer to the fish, their noses were filled with the fishy stench from each other.
Zhan Lin opened her metal hand, clenched her fist, and sharp, spike-like protrusions appeared on the back of her hand. "I just punched its head twice, but I couldn't break it, and there's wear and tear here."
Although the spikes were not broken, they were dented in, which means that the fish's head was very hard, and Zhan Lin's punch was quite powerful.
