This world is terrible

Chapter 368 Distant singing (1300 repairs)
The man was shrouded in a heavy protective suit.

Although he couldn't see his face, Gao Yi still judged the approximate age of the other party from his voice.

This is a middle-aged man in his forties, but no more than sixty at most.

"who are you?"

While Gao Yi was looking at the other party, the other party was also looking at him, with an obvious bad tone: "Didn't anyone tell you not to move things in the laboratory? If it wasn't for me just now, you would have been sent to rescue Already!"

"Feel sorry."

Seeing the other party's attitude, Gao Yi also knew that it was his extravagant action that aroused the disgust of others, so he directly admitted his mistake: "It's because I didn't know its harm, and it almost caused a big mistake..."

"As long as you know!"

The middle-aged man under the protective suit said in a muffled voice, "Who told you to come here? I don't remember having someone like you under my command."

"The Headquarters sent me here."

Gao Yi glanced at him indiscriminately, and his tone became bewitching again: "Have you forgotten? When collecting samples before, didn't you want to call a local scientific researcher to assist?"

"is it?"

After thinking about it for a long time, the middle-aged man could only shake his head, and said unhappily: "It's really...it's not good to send someone, why is there someone with no brains."

"Forget it, you come with me."

No matter how reluctant, he still introduced himself: "My name is Lu, and I am also the person in charge of this area. You can call me Professor Lu."

"Professor Lu."

Gao Yi yelled, and followed the other party to the group of personnel wearing protective clothing. Many people saw that it was Professor Lu who came, and they couldn't hold back their emotions, and their excitement was beyond words.

"Professor, the analysis results are out!"

Someone couldn't wait to tell: "The viruses that guide the behavior of the host do not exist in the samples we collected. In other words, the actions of those creatures are not 'behavioral manipulation', but come from their own consciousness!"

Behavioral manipulation?

what?
Gao Yi was a little dazed at first, but he soon understood.

Behavioral manipulation usually refers to some external organisms manipulating the behavior of host organisms to increase their success rate of survival and reproduction.

And this phenomenon is very common in nature, including not only well-known parasites and parasites, but also many viruses.

Apparently, what these people were discussing was none other than the anomalous behavior of creatures from East Bay.

"...those crabs?"

Thinking of the crab whose carapace was lifted, Gao Yi murmured.

"Abnormal, but not only these."

Professor Lu turned around, with a pointed expression on his face.

"As early as the beginning of landing, we found that the birds here had abnormal feeding behaviors. At first we speculated whether this might be 'behavior manipulation' caused by some type of influenza virus."

He came to the computer and kept working on the keyboard with both hands: "But now it seems that the sample has passed the 'RT-PCR' for detecting gene expression, so this statement is no longer valid."

"Obviously, there is something beyond our expectation. That thing is more hidden than 'death'. It silently changes biological activities and intensifies the spread of the entire anomaly..."

"Don't worry, let me read the report."

After the discussion came to an end, Professor Lu raised his head from the computer and added: "By the way, at this point in time, it is almost approaching the edge of the continental shelf. I need to take a sample here to judge whether the next route needs to be corrected. Who went over and brought the samples from the catch?"

"I'll go."

If there is a chance to perform, Gao Yi will of course try his best to brush up his impressions, and directly volunteered: "Professor Lu, give me this chance to make up for my mistakes! I must be careful this time!"

Professor Lu looked at him in surprise.

"Then you go, but remember, don't try to contact directly again. Compared with the coast, the continental shelf is already another ecology. No one can predict whether there will be any changes in the creatures here."

"Ah Hua, give him a protective suit."

A scientific researcher wearing a protective suit nodded at Gao Yi, took him to the warehouse on the bottom deck, and handed him a protective suit.

"Wear it, the transmission of that kind of energy will become extremely slow in the medium of inanimate concepts, and the loss will also increase. For some small fish or birds, as long as you are not surrounded by them, this protective clothing Totally enough to resist."

Gao Yi nodded, took it from the other party's hand, and put it on carefully.

Although he has [The Fool], he is not a completely integrated existence like Jian Weilan's. Eliminating "death" is certainly effective, but it is still unknown whether there is an upper limit. Gao Yi naturally will not make fun of life.

Tuk Tuk Tuk.

Stepping on the stairs, returning from the fourth floor of the deck to the first floor, seems to be as long as passing through a longitudinal time tunnel.

Huhu——

At the end, a gust of sea breeze mixed with fine rain fell.

"This way."

At this time, a commissioner from the executive bureau stepped forward and led him towards the stern of the ship.

Because it is a scientific research vessel, the Sky Eye is not loaded with large-scale fishing equipment. Currently, only buoy fishing and snails are used to catch small fish and plankton.

At this time, the two pieces of equipment have already started working under the operation of the crew. Gao Yi only needs to wait, and then a certain fish will take the bait obediently.

However, at this moment, an unexpected voice suddenly floated from afar on the sea breeze.

woo~
"Ok?"

Gao Yi immediately looked around, and saw that some crew members who were at work raised their heads as if they had noticed something.

"What was that sound just now?"

Someone wondered.

It's just that his doubts didn't last long...

woo-

Another sound came.

Misty and long, as if singing with an ancient echo, through the dense raindrops and howling wind and waves, echoing on this dark sea.

"Is it a whale song?" Someone finally responded.

"Whale song?"

"It seems to come from the deep sea!"

Gao Yi came to the edge of the fence in a few steps, looking at the world completely engulfed by darkness outside the lights, he couldn't help muttering: "At this time... who are you talking to?"

"Totally unexpected."

Inside the bridge, several persons in charge looked at the constantly beating frequency on the instrument in front of them, thinking thoughtfully: "At this time, in this direction, I encountered whale calls, which made me wonder if it was also a part of the incident. "

"Old Lu said that something changed the behavior of coastal organisms. Could it also be affected, so it appeared at this time?"

"Unfortunately."

Professor Lu passed by with a teacup in his arms: "So far, we can only confirm that the whale's cry is the way of communication between them."

"The whale song is different."

The middle-aged man, who looked a bit old on the outside, but still full of vigor, tapped the frequency captured on the screen: "That's the singing of whales word for word, like singing."

"The scientific community cannot determine its role, and we have no way of judging whether the other party's behavior has deviated from the original track. After all, no one stipulates that whales cannot chat privately in the middle of the night, right?"
