On the Qing River
The huge octopus's legs kept rolling on the ground because of the residual nerves, countless water splashed up, the purple suction cups expanded and contracted, and the eyes on them still showed the unwillingness before death.
"Why on earth did this guy swim here from the estuary?"
A brown-haired man stood next to countless octopus tentacles and turned to look at Chu Zehuai who was fiddling with his mobile phone.
"I don't know. I'm not an octopus. I only know that the situation in Linhai City is very bad." Chu Zehuai put the phone back and looked at the huge octopus foot.
The ocean is the most polluted place in the entire world. Even before the pollution occurred, humans had not conquered that vast, mysterious and dangerous area, and most of the sea was still unknown.
After the pollution outbreak, the deep sea, undisturbed by humans, gave pollutants space and time to grow, enough for the pollutants inside to continue to evolve through the survival of the fittest.
But humans have no way to deal with this.
Linhai City is the city closest to the sea, but they are so busy cleaning up the seafood that crawls into the city every day that they have no time to care about the dangers brewing in the ocean.
Not to mention the sea, even an octopus swimming upstream from the estuary cannot be controlled and the only thing we can do is send them an early warning.
...
...
"Linhai City..."
The brown-haired man's tone also sank. Thinking of the current situation in Linhai City, he became serious.
Suddenly, he saw something, his eyes lit up for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face:
"Hey, I saw a pretty good-looking kid. Hey, hey, he actually walked right through the cordon and seemed to be walking towards us. Could it be that I'm too charming? Oh, I just knew—"
"Captain Chu, box number 1 is here."
Bai Yu stood beside Chu Zehuai, looking at the strange man who suddenly became petrified for some reason with some confusion.
"Put the things back. You should be able to do it."
"Um."
Bai Yu nodded. Before leaving, he read the instruction manual twice.
Containment box No. 1 is very precious. It was made by a space-side awakener. It has a small foldable space inside, which is specially used to transport pollutants that are too large.
This pile of octopuses on the beach that looks like a small hill really needs a box like this.
Bai Yu silently threw the octopus legs on the ground into the box one by one, and the strange man was talking beside him.
"You look unfamiliar. Are you a new member of the first team?"
"You look so young, you look like you're only in your early twenties."
"If you can't continue working in the first team, you can consider joining our second team. I will definitely welcome you - hey, hey, Chu Zehuai, why are you pulling me?"
Chu Zehuai pulled him away from Bai Yu, his golden-orange eyes narrowed: "Li Song, have you been so bold recently?"
How dare you steal his girlfriend right in front of him.
Even if he is an intern, he is still an intern of their first team!
"Well, this is because you are green."
Li Song blinked, his brown eyes swept over the number on the other person's neck, and he put his hands on his hips.
"The value is green, which means you can't use emotional instability as an excuse to beat up your colleagues. What do I have to be afraid of?"
"I'm green..."
Chu Zehuai's eyes gradually became dangerous.
It doesn’t matter, he can find other reasons to beat up his colleagues.
"Um... calm down, calm down, do you have the heart to attack such a charming and handsome face like mine? Ouch——"
After putting the last octopus leg into the box, Bai Yu looked at the stones by the river curiously.
What are those two doing in the back?
It’s just that the matter of the two captains has nothing to do with him, and Chu Zehuai was not injured this morning, so there is no need to find an opportunity to contact them specifically.
Bai Yu secretly sighed with regret, said hello, and left with the box.

On the way back to the investigation bureau.
Bai Yu held a box containing octopus contaminants in one hand and a bunch of soy sauce, light soy sauce, vinegar and chopped green onions in the other.
[At first I thought that human money was useless, but now it seems that I was too shallow. ]
As Bai Yu walked, he took an octopus foot out of the box and dipped it in the sauce.
The octopus legs, just out of the water, are very tender, meaty and chewy. The unique aroma of seafood blooms on the tip of the tongue, and the eyes on the suction cups can bring a wonderful feeling of bursting. The only flaw is the fishy smell of the sea, which is also covered up by the sauce.
Overall, extremely delicious.
[I can't feel it, is it really that delicious? ] The system is curious.
[Really, the world's most delicious food, praise humans.] Bai Yu ate an octopus leg in just a few bites.
He took another one.
[…It rhymes. Never mind. I’m not interested in this. I think this space folding box is quite interesting. I don’t know when my energy will be enough to open my system space.]
The system looked at the box and couldn't help but sigh.
At that time, they can put all the food in the system space and eat it however they want.
And there are a lot of good things in its space.
Bai Yu also thought of this. He stretched out his finger to wipe the soy sauce from the corner of his mouth:
[I understand. I will speed up the absorption of energy.]
He chatted with the system while eating the octopus feet, and the box in his hand became lighter and lighter.
By the time they arrived at the temporary warehouse, Bai Yu had eaten 119 of them without realizing it.
There's only one left in the box.
[Bai Yu, are you taking kickbacks too much? Why is there only one cigarette left for others? ]
The system looked at the lonely octopus leg in silence. This seemed a bit too much.
[Because it would be too strange if only half of it was left. ]
Bai Yu answered seriously.
【.........】
During the conversation, everyone walked to the door of the temporary warehouse.
Bai Yu handed the box to the warehouse registrar.
After the last theft in the temporary warehouse, the Investigation Bureau added a registrar to the temporary warehouse. However, this registrar is not very smart and will not have any impact on Bai Yu's plan to steal.
"It's a Class A pollutant. It's registered under the name of Team One, right? Hmm? Why does this octopus only have one leg?"
The registrar at the makeshift warehouse looked at an octopus leg placed in front of him with a puzzled look.
How on earth did a one-legged octopus get to A-level?
"Pollution and mutation, who knows."
Bai Yu spoke calmly, with a tone full of affirmation and confidence.
"Since an octopus can mutate from a normal eight legs to more than a hundred legs, it shouldn't be surprising that it can mutate in the opposite direction and only have one leg left."
Faced with such frank words, the warehouse manager's expression changed from confusion to shame.
He knew so little about pollutants that he asked such a stupid question.
It's really wrong.
