Chapter 149 Is that... a water ghost?

Early in the morning, Zhao Yunduo was the first to wake up. She drank a cup of soy milk to fill her stomach, then picked up a telescope and looked into the depths of the sea.

There was a light breeze in the early morning, creating a few ripples on the sea surface, but nothing else.

On the other side, Shen Linglan should not have woken up yet. Zhao Yunduo did not ask to talk to her. He just stood quietly on the beach.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from the beach, and Zhao Yunduo subconsciously took out his pistol and aimed at the source of the sound.

When I turned around, I saw that it was Xiao Lan, the woman who came from the Y City base last night.

She had dark circles under her eyes, yet she was still repairing the plane.

After Zhao Yunduo put away his pistol, he walked over and asked her, "Can the plane at your base be repaired?"

Xiao Lan still lowered his head and spoke in a low voice, "The black box is not damaged. If it were in the past, it would have been possible to repair it, but now, it is unlikely."

Having said that, Xiao Lan's head still went into the interior of the plane, and it was unknown what he was concentrating on checking.

Connie woke up when Zhao Yunduo was staring at the sea. He had just heard the conversation between Zhao Yunduo and Xiaolan. He walked behind Zhao Yunduo and explained to him, "Xiaolan is an ultimate person, don't be surprised."

Zhao Yunduo shook her head. She always respected everyone's individual differences, but Xiao Lan reminded her of her former self.

Connie then said to Blue, "If you can't fix it, just take out the usable parts and see if there's a suitable airplane to use later."

Xiao Lan nodded and said nothing more.

In her consciousness, Shen Linglan had just woken up, holding the test reagent that Zhang Shengnan and Zhou Xueer had worked on all night. Zhang Shengnan seemed tireless, with excitement glittering in her eyes. "It's done, Miss Shen, let Miss Zhao try it."

Shen Linglan nodded, and in the blink of an eye, the test reagent appeared in Zhao Yunduo's hand.

Connie was not surprised by the sudden appearance.

He stared at the ordinary-looking plastic-packaged test tube without any icon and asked softly, "What is this?"

This thing hasn't been named yet. Zhao Yunduo tilted his head slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Monster Killer!"

"Monsters? Do you mean zombies?"

Connie had no idea that there were giant octopuses and colonies of bacteria left on the seafloor, and thought the mission was already over.

Zhao Yunduo shook his head and didn't explain.

She bent down and tied the Martin boots on her feet into a knot, then stepped onto the fishing boat. "I'm going out to sea. When they wake up, I'll ask them to return to the base first. You can come with me."

"Can I...come with you?" Connie asked.

"cannot."

Zhao Yunduo started the fishing boat and said mercilessly.

She steered the fishing boat into the deep sea without even glancing at Connie.

Zhao Yunduo, who was alone on the boat, was not afraid at all. She observed the water and the conditions in the sea.

I found that just as I had guessed, there was nothing in the water except sand.

Those electric fishing machines had long been blown to pieces by deep-sea torpedoes, and the entire sea was as quiet as if the king's castle had been lost.

After the fishing boat reached the area where the ink was most concentrated, she poured the index finger-sized reagent into the sea. Unexpectedly, the sea water made gurgling sounds and bubbles kept rising.

After a while, the sea water changed from black to clear, and gradually became dark blue like ordinary sea water.

"Is it over?" Zhao Yunduo asked.

The sound was so light that it seemed almost blown away by the wind.

Shen Linglan on the other side replied: "It's over. The system prompts that the task is completed and the reward calculation has begun."

Zhao Yunduo nodded. No one died in this mission, and the injured were healed normally, so it was completed relatively easily.

"The source of water pollution in that world is closely related to the giant octopus." Zhang Shengnan and Shen Linglan's voices came from her consciousness. She said, "The giant octopus gave me a lot of inspiration. I think I should be able to completely solve the water pollution problem in that world."

This time, the sea creatures were either eaten by the giant octopus as food, or electrocuted by the electric fishing machine, and those who were lucky enough to survive were killed by deep-sea torpedoes.

The creatures on the seabed will undergo a major reshuffle. At least there will be no other creatures in the nearby waters for the time being.

Biological extinction is a terrible thing, but fortunately, since these polluted aquatic animals and plants carry parasitic bacteria in their bodies that cannot be eradicated, they will be eliminated sooner or later according to the original plan, so their extinction is not a regrettable thing.

Not only that, all living aquatic plants and animals must be destroyed to ensure that the water source is not polluted again.

Shen Linglan said: "Once the water pollution problem is solved, I will go and buy a large number of fish fry and young plants of various marine organisms, and we will rebuild the marine biosphere."

After perfectly completing a mission, Zhao Yunduo swam slowly on the sea.

She remembered that when she was in school, she and her best friend had a dream of traveling to a famous coastal city. The picture she imagined at that time was just like the present one: on the boundless sea, they would lean against the bow and watch the whirlpools created by the oars hitting the sea.

Now it has unexpectedly come true.

But Zhao Yunduo did not feel the satisfaction of having her desire fulfilled. She was no longer the ignorant girl who only knew how to work to earn money.

Zhao Yunduo looked up at the shore. Whether it was Zhou Micheng or Connie, they were all standing on the shore looking at her quietly. None of them got on the plane to return to the base.

Noticing Zhao Yunduo's gaze, everyone on the shore waved at her, shouting something. Kong Liang waved his hands like an electric fan.

Shen Linglan didn't sleep much last night, and she saw that they were worried about her best friend. She was yawning and advised her best friend: "Go back when it's over. It's not safe outside..."

Halfway through a yawn, Shen Linglan's mouth suddenly seemed to be stuck, and her eyes were fixed on the scene in Zhao Yunduo's world.

"Bao——"

Shen Linglan was stunned for several seconds before she spoke, "There was a figure there just now, was that... a water ghost?"

Zhao Yunduo immediately turned around and found that there was indeed a black figure behind her. It noticed Zhao Yunduo's gaze and raised its head, as if looking at Zhao Yunduo.

Zhao Yunduo took out a telescope and looked over, only to find that the figure was the one he hadn't seen for a long time - a mutated zombie!

It was squatting on the bamboo raft, staying in the middle of the ocean where Zhao Yunduo had just left, as if investigating the situation there.

It was very smart and knew that it could see clearly what Zhao Yunduo took out. It even tilted its head towards Zhao Yunduo, with its lips slightly opened, revealing its pitch-black mouth.
