Translator: 549690339
No matter what, the ship was safe, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
The fire grew longer when it came into contact with the wind, and with the help of these mutated creatures, it was gradually going out of control. Some people were still hiding in the cabin, not daring to come out. Once the temperature rose, the cabin door would be scalded, and it would be even more difficult to come out.
When the group retreated to the right side of the cabin, there were still some people crying for ‘help1, but no one paid any attention.
Thunder rumbled in the air, and a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, lighting up the sky.
Following the sound of thunder, a drop of water fell and hit the deformed bowstring that was grabbed by the seabirds, but it was quickly evaporated by the fire.
At first, song qingxiao thought that the drops of water were the blood of the two workers who had been caught in the air, but then the sound of water dripping came again, faster and faster.
Since yesterday afternoon, the weather had been gloomy. Dark clouds covered the sun. The rain that had been delayed for several hours had actually come at this time!
Song qingxiao was both surprised and happy. The rain fell very quickly. At first, it was only one or two drops, but in the blink of an eye, it started to pour heavily.
The flying mutant creatures above them seemed to have met their natural enemy when they encountered the rain. They threw the two workers ‘bodies away and hissed, trying to hide, but how could they hide now?
Their wings were thin to begin with, and once they were wet, they became extremely heavy. They couldn’t even wave them again, and they fell into the sea one after another.
In this way, the heavens were helping them, and the danger of the mutant creatures ‘attack on the ship was temporarily lifted. Although the right side of the ship was on fire, it was a timely rain, and the fire was quickly extinguished.
Under the billowing smoke, Mr. Zhou and the others, who had been hiding inside the ship, finally couldn’t take it anymore. They put on isolation suits and covered their mouths with something, coughing out.
It was already a mess outside, and there were some mutant creatures that had not yet died crawling on the ground. Mr. Zhou’s face was full of disgust and fear when he saw this scene.
There were still many injured mutated creatures, but compared to the previous number, they were just a drop in the ocean.
But even so, Mr. Zhou was still very shocked.
Zhou xueli and the rest of the bodyguards he hired followed him closely. Whenever a mutant creature approached, the bodyguards would smash it with their gun butts.
The scientists beside him squatted down. One of them held an umbrella with one hand and carefully caught a mutated creature whose wings were half burned and could no longer move. As he was looking at it carefully, the creature that he thought was dead suddenly opened its mouth and bit the man’s hand.
“Be careful,” he warned.
Mr. Zhou saw this scene and immediately reminded him anxiously. However, it was too late.
It was strange that the mutated creature’s fur was extremely thin and easy to kill, but its fangs were extremely sharp.
The scientist was wearing a special pair of gloves, but the gloves were as fragile as paper under the teeth of the mutated creature.
The man let out a painful cry and subconsciously threw the mutant creature to the ground. With the lightning that lit up the sky, everyone could clearly see two holes in his gloves.
Beads of blood quickly gushed out of the wound and were washed away by the rain that poured down from the edge of the umbrella.
He endured the pain and removed his gloves. His gentle face was pale from the pain.
Song qingxiao looked at the scene thoughtfully. She had a new understanding of the tenacious vitality of the mutant creatures on the island.
“What are these things?”
The injured scientist clutched his trembling hands that were dripping with blood. He could not even hold onto the umbrella and fell to the ground. The rain hit his hair, making him extremely miserable.
maybe, maybe it’s Richard. Bat.
He had only taken a cursory glance earlier and made a rough estimate. When he said it, his tone was not certain.
After all, with the change in genes, the appearance and characteristics of many animals were completely different from their original form. Without a DNA test, no one could guarantee this.
“Bat? Why would bats appear in the sea?”
It was unknown if it was due to his lack of ability or some other reason, but before Mr. Zhou and the others came out, number seven had already returned to his human form.
besides, don’t bats have echolocation? how did they hit the ship? ”
She frowned. Her shoulder was still injured and her face was pale. She threw out a few questions in a row.
“Not to mention that there are too many of them.”
these mutated creatures look similar to bats. They rest during the day and come out at night. They gather in groups, which fits the characteristics of bats.
The bitten scientist’s face turned pale. Mr. Zhou gestured for him to retreat to the eaves of the boat to treat his wound.
In order to get the genes of mutated animals on the island and continue Mr. Zhou’s research, these scientists could not be harmed. Mr. Zhou had also specially sent two armed bodyguards to follow him.
The other scientists stayed behind to listen to No. 7’s question and answered her,”
as for the number and why they hit the ship, it might be related to genetic changes.
The scientist who spoke up to this point subconsciously looked back at Mr. Zhou.
Song qingjiang saw his expression and had a thought.
Back then, Mr. Zhou’s experiment was flawed. Otherwise, he would not have abandoned such an excellent experimental base.
If her guess was correct, and the scientist who spoke was right, and it was indeed a swarm of bats that attacked the ship tonight, then she could basically guess what kind of accident had happened to Mr. Zhou’s experiment back then.
“Is the reproduction rate of bats high?”
Song qingxiao suddenly asked. The scientist pushed his glasses up awkwardly. The rain was so heavy that it almost connected the sea and the sky. The rain hit the umbrella and quickly put out the fire that had just started.
However, the umbrella couldn’t block the rain, and some of it still went in with the wind, causing his glasses to be covered with water droplets.
He wanted to take off his glasses and wipe them clean, but he couldn’t do it several times. On the contrary, because the rain was too heavy, he almost couldn’t hold the umbrella steadily. Song Qing underestimated him and reached out to grab the umbrella in his hand in the rain, so that he could free his hands.
“Thank you,” she said.
He said softly as he took off his glasses and wiped them.
the reproduction rate of bats is not high. They are mammals, and because of hibernation, they have the phenomenon of delayed ferrying.
As soon as the scientist finished speaking, song qingxiao smiled.
In other words, if it was confirmed that the mutated creatures that attacked the ship tonight were bats, they would hit the ship in large numbers, and some of their characteristics were completely opposite of bats.
It was worth noting that they had sharp claws and teeth, huge bodies, and their destructive power and hunting ability were far greater than the bats that people knew. Combined with Mr. Zhou’s failed experiments and what he had said, song qingxiao could almost guess the experiment that Mr. Zhou had done back then..
