Chapter 189 Polluted Seawater
Even when biting the bone, there was no lag at all. Kabakaba chewed it into pieces and swallowed it directly.
This scene made Nan Ci feel physically uncomfortable.
Just when Nan Ci was about to put down the telescope, the huge fish looked towards him.
Even through the telescope, Nan Ci felt that he and the fish had coincided with each other beforehand.
The extremely dangerous feeling just now instantly covered his whole body again, causing Nan Ci to immediately put down the telescope, and his breathing became rapid and heavy.
Although Mu Qianqian and Zhou Ziyang did not have telescopes, because they both had good eyesight, the distance between them and the big fish was not far, and the fish was really big, they could see the scene clearly.
Both of them looked pale, and if you looked closely, you could see that their bodies were trembling slightly.
Mu Qianqian wanted to speak, but her teeth couldn't stop chattering.
It took a long while before Mu Qianqian was able to control her mouth and uttered a word in a trembling voice.
"Nan...Nan Ci, what kind of fish is that? Why is it so strange?"
When it comes to large fish, people know about whales and sharks.
Although sharks are ferocious, they don’t look ugly and even look mighty and domineering.
But the big fish in front of him has nothing to do with the words mighty and domineering.
At first glance, it looks ugly, disgusting, and terrifying.
In just a short while, one third of the huge mutant sheep had been eaten.
The stomach of that ugly big fish was like a bottomless pit, it kept chewing, swallowing and gnawing.
As he watched, Nan Ci felt a little nauseous and subconsciously looked away.
Just as he looked away, Nan Ci heard the sound of Mu Qianqian retching in his ears.
After dry heaving several times and turning around to relax for a while, Mu Qianqian finally calmed down and found her voice again.
"This...what is going on? What kind of monster is that?"
Listening to Mu Qianqian's question, Nan Ci didn't say a word.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to say it, but she doesn’t know how to answer it.
Although he was a reborn person, Nan Ci had never seen such an ugly big fish in his previous life.
Zhou Ziyang did not look away, but frowned and continued to stare into the distance.
It was not until the yacht sailed far away and the situation over there was completely out of sight that Zhou Ziyang told him the conclusion he had drawn from his observations.
"I think that fish is a mutant."
Mu Qianqian glanced at Zhou Ziyang unhappily, "It must be a mutation! How could a fish grow like that!
But we have seen many mutant animals. Other mutant animals have grown proportionally, gentle ones have become violent, and vegetarians have changed to eating meat. We have never seen anything like this."
Zhou Ziyang shook his head slowly. "Qianqian, you didn't understand what I meant. I mean, the fish shouldn't have mutated normally, but mutated in another unknown direction."
Perhaps Zhou Ziyang also felt that his explanation would confuse people, so after thinking for a while, he changed his statement.
"Do you remember some of the movies you've seen before? In those blockbusters, the water source was polluted by various things, causing the marine life to mutate, and they began to ruthlessly devour humans.
I think that might be the case now.”
After hearing Zhou Ziyang's words, Mu Qianqian's eyes almost popped out, "If you say so, then the current situation is actually caused by humans themselves?"
"I don't know." Zhou Ziyang shook his head honestly, "I just think the situation of the big fish is a bit similar, but I'm not sure why the overall environment has become like this now."
Not to mention that Zhou Ziyang was not sure, who could really be sure?
Nan Ci had been listening quietly to their conversation, and felt that Zhou Ziyang's guess made some sense.
Although these creatures on land have also undergone mutations, their body shapes, personalities and hobbies have changed to a certain extent, but the changes are not particularly outrageous.
But it is really outrageous that the fish in the water has become like this.
Apart from this explanation, Nan Ci really couldn't think of any other possibility that could cause such an extreme mutation.
The four of them fell silent, and no one spoke again.
After an unknown amount of time, Mu Qianqian hesitantly spoke, "If the water source is really polluted, then...after we use up all the water in the yacht, will there be any water left?
Can the water below still be used for washing?"
Listening to Mu Qianqian's series of questions, Nan Ci and the other two became more silent.
It’s not that they don’t want to answer, but that they don’t know how to answer.
No one wants this to happen, but no one is sure if this is really the case.
The silence at this moment is so deafening.
But the silence did not last long. In the afternoon, before it got dark, they discovered that the water, which had been clear, had become turbid.
Moreover, the turbidity became faster and faster, and the color became darker and darker, getting closer and closer to black.
Originally, the four of them still had a little hope in their hearts, but after seeing the color of the water gradually darken, that little bit of hope completely disappeared.
At this point, their speculations became bolder and more reasonable.
Although City X is not close to the coast, it is not far away.
Just looking at the direction from which the black water is spreading, it is impossible to be sure that the water is coming from the sea.
"The sea must have been polluted in some way, and the previous ice freeze had frozen all the water, so it didn't come to our side.
Now the temperature is rising sharply, the ice is melting rapidly, and the sewage is pouring in.
Along with the polluted water came these fish that had been mutated by the seawater.”
Zhou Ziyang's words were unanimously agreed by Nan Ci and the other two.
Nan Ci said in a deep voice, "If your guess is correct, we should reach the northwest in a short time.
The terrain over there is high, so there should still be land.
As long as we move fast enough, the sea water should not flood that place in a short time, and we still have a chance to store some fresh water."
Of course this is Nan Ci’s best plan.
If facts go against her wishes, then she can only get water from the space.
But Nan Ci felt that things would not develop to that point.
At least not in the short term.
Nan Ci couldn't believe that in such a big country, there were only four of them left alive.
They must be in the wrong place, so they didn't meet more people.
Especially the official ones, they must still be alive.
The real official power should not be underestimated.
