Chapter 244 Contaminated Fish
Before Oko could answer, Horii explained: "Nuclear waste refers to waste that has been used in nuclear production, processing and nuclear reactors but is still radioactive. These radioactive materials are more harmful. , the decay time may even be as long as tens of thousands of years. Humanity may be extinct, and the nuclear waste is still radioactive.”
Finished. After that, he sighed: "Unless there is a major breakthrough in science and technology, only solar energy is the most ideal clean energy and the one with the least impact on the human environment."
Horii only mentioned that it has the least impact on the human environment. , but everyone knows that this plan has a great impact on the Lightning Man, to the point where the Lightning Man cannot survive, and even mutated Gazot.
But this crisis is not enough to make mankind give up the promising space power generation plan, because the space power generation plan is beneficial to mankind and only harms Gazot, and this successful monster annihilation battle should be able to give Humans have gained a lot of confidence in dealing with monsters.
Horii was about to say something when Norui's voice came from the helmet: "Team Horii, there is an ocean-going fishing vessel in the port of R2 area. They said they caught a large number of strange creatures in the ocean. The relevant information will be sent to your PDI. Got it.”
“Understood!” Horii reached out and took out the PDI from his waist and opened it. On the small screen, strange-looking creatures appeared. They had the characteristics of fish, but the tail fins turned into slender tails, and there were also arms and legs growing out of their abdomens. Raised, the fish scales on the back are almost connected together, looking like a shell.
"What is this?" Horii looked at this strange thing in shock. Although he was not a biology major, he knew the basis for biological classification, but this thing was like a pile of parts from various species. A monster that was forcibly put together.
Dagu said uncertainly: "Is it a mutation?"
"This change is too big, almost all of it is another species." Horii looked over and over at these pictures. The pictures were taken by mobile phones. They are all monsters like this, which cannot be classified at all. They are so weird that people cannot believe that they are creatures on earth.
Because of this incident, Oko and Horii, who were originally going to return to the base, had to drive a dram to the port in the R2 area to recover these strange mutant creatures and bring them back to the base for research and analysis to see what they were. reason.
When the two arrived at the port, they saw a group of people surrounding the pier from a distance. When the people on the outside saw the Victory Team's car, they immediately shouted: "It's the Victory Team!"
“The victory team is here!”
When the two got out of the car, the crowd had automatically separated into a path. A large bucket surrounded inside was revealed. Horii went over and took a look. There were more than ten strange fish in the photo swimming inside. They had no fins but could swim up and down, relying on their tails and...
Before Horii could observe clearly, some fishermen asked noisily: "What on earth is this?"
"This. We need to investigate." Dagu stared at a lot of curious eyes, trying to maintain order, and wanted the crowd to disperse, but his shouting had no effect. On the contrary, because of the arrival of the victory team, the crowd attracted More people came to watch, making Dagu feel like he had become a monkey in the zoo.
As soon as Horii turned on the instrument, one of the readings began to rise. Horii's expression suddenly changed. He hurriedly debugged the instrument and measured again. The reading was still the same. Horii immediately turned around and shouted: "Everyone, disperse quickly. These fish are highly radioactive."
Radioactivity
A simple word is more useful than Dagu shouting for a long time. The crowd of onlookers dispersed in a hurry. People in other countries may not be too sensitive. In this small place People are all too familiar with this word, and it also has a deep psychological shadow. "Team Horii, you still have a way." Dagu was about to praise Horii when he saw Horii's serious expression, his smile disappeared immediately, and he asked in a low voice: "It can't be true, can it?"
< br>
"Of course it's true," Horii said as he adjusted the instruments in his hands: "These fish have much higher radiation levels than those in the radiology department of the hospital. There must be a strong radioactive source near where they live, so that's why Mutated into this.”
After completing the preliminary inspection, Horii and Oko found the owner of the fishing boat and asked where they caught these strange fish. However, the forty-year-old owner seemed to be in his fifties or sixties due to the constant exposure to wind and sun. Years old, recalling the situation at that time.
“There was a sudden undersea earthquake, so we quickly closed the net. After the earthquake passed and we tidied the deck, we discovered these strange fish. Because we didn’t know what they were, we put them together alone and fished them on the shore. I've informed you."
"Approximately where is it?" Dagu said, taking out a chart and asking the boat owner to mark the range from when the net was lowered to when it was stowed away.
Horii asked the sailor who touched the fish. A thin young man raised his hand timidly and talked about the situation at that time. The other hand kept scratching his belly, making him Horii couldn't help but frown and asked: "Do you feel uncomfortable in any way?"
"It's a bit itchy." The young sailor kept moving and scratching. The companion next to him hurriedly lifted his clothes, and was shocked to find that there were red marks on his body, but the sailor was still scratching. Everyone felt something was wrong now, and even his companions quickly let go of him for fear of being infected.
"Dagu, send him to the hospital immediately," Horii said, then glanced at the other people on the fishing boat, pondered for a moment, and said, "You'd better check it out too."
Dagu drove people to the hospital, while Horii asked people to stay away from the fishing boats and buckets, and asked who touched the fish. The local patrol police also came to help maintain order at the scene.
There was a lot of commotion now. In addition, the people on the fishing boat were taken away by the Victory Team and the police, which immediately made people nervous. All kinds of rumors spread in the port as quickly as possible. As the news spread, some said that the port would be blocked because someone was infected, and some said that a large amount of radioactive material was found. The most outrageous thing was that nuclear bombs were recovered by fishing boats.
When the rumors were flying, people from the TPC biology department and the Marine Research Institute, where Horii applied, rushed to the scene and set up temporary tents. People wearing protective clothing carefully fished out the strange fish. Then he entered the sealed tent and put the strange fish one by one into lead-sealed boxes and took them away.
Dagu, who went to the hospital, also sent back the latest news. Toxic substances of different concentrations and types were detected in the fishermen. The most serious one fell into a coma before arriving at the hospital. At this time, he was being rescued in the ICU, and the others were also hospitalized. observe.
According to their recollections, the strange fish was caught in the R waters of the Western Pacific. The specific location was forgotten because a swarm of earthquakes was occurring on the seabed at that time. Everyone was busy running boats to escape, and no one noticed the strange fish. Which net is the fish in?
