Chapter 70 Ocean People
In the center of the lounge of the ''mechanical airship'', there is a large ornamental fish tank with some colorful bionic fish in the water.
?But at this moment, the bionic fish’s skin and flesh were split apart by the electricity, and the electronic parts in their bellies floated on the water, as if they had been ‘eviscerated’.
The bionic fish died and were replaced by eight ''Thundercloud Electric Eel Juveniles'' that were more than two meters long. These marine mutant life forms did not seem to be satisfied with the ''narrow'' living environment. Their tails were constantly exploding with electric sparks and blue light. Flashing in the water.
“The generator is coming!”
Fortunately, the two exoskeleton warriors connected the backup generator into the water tank, and the strong voltage made the Thundercloud Eel snore a series of comfortably.
?These cubs finally calmed down.
The crowd of onlookers looked at me and I looked at you, speechless for a moment.
Who would have thought that those thundercloud electric eels really come to give birth?
When the senior engineer walked into the cabin carrying eight big fish, everyone was stunned.
Zhou Cong hesitated for a moment and said, "Those thundercloud electric eels should regard you as an ecological beast."
“What is an ecological beast?” Zhao Zhu couldn’t help but ask.
"When a whale falls, all things live. Whales are ecological beasts. The living environment in the ocean is much more complex than on land. The mutated life in it is more inclined to join an ''energy system'' to coexist, and the organization of this kind of ''ecosystem'' It is an ecological beast.”
Du Zhaodi said softly: "You can simply understand that an ecological beast is a small beast tide."
Zhou Congdao added: "I once fought in offshore battles and saw a mechanical whale that was comparable to an aircraft carrier. I also saw an eight-clawed monster that controlled an entire fleet. Countless mutated sea beasts were bred and spread among the ships. Every time such an ecological beast appears, it is a huge test for the mechanical corps. "
“They think of me as a wet nurse,” Gao Gong said, rubbing his chin.
Zhao Zhuo was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "Why don''t we just throw them away? What if those giant eels come looking for us?"
Gao Gong looked at Zhao Ji as if he were a fool.
“They left their sons in your home, and then you lost them. Do you think their parents would fight against you?”
Zhou Cong stretched out his armor-wrapped palm, but before it even touched the glass, a strong electric charge began to wrap around his fingers in the air, making a ''sizzling'' sound.
The electric eel in the water turned around suddenly, its fist-sized eyes staring at him warily.
Zhou Cong retracted his hand, shook his head and said, "Don''t be so pessimistic. This may be a good thing."
"I have heard an expert say that seabed minerals are far more abundant than those on land, and it is definitely not enough to mine seabed ores with just one kind of radiant beast. Therefore, marine radiated beasts prefer a cooperative foraging model rather than conflict and fighting. ”
“Their ‘herbivorous’ nature is much greater than their ‘carnivorous nature’, of course, this is when they do not initiate a ‘tide’.”
“With the pheromones of these thundercloud electric eels, at least when we go back, we don’t have to worry about being attacked by thunder and lightning storms.”
Regardless of its danger, this ''electric eel'' is actually a very beautiful creature, with a blue and almost transparent body, sapphire-like eyes, and a dense light all over its body. In ancient times, it would definitely be worshiped as a water god.
“At least we don’t have to worry about the factory running out of power.”
Gao Gong stared at the attributes displayed in the system and muttered to himself.

?Except for the unexpected incident of the ‘Thunder Cloud Electric Eel’, the journey was smooth. At around three o’clock in the afternoon, Gao Gong and his team successfully arrived at the outskirts of the ‘Hunter’s Tomb’.
??It is a giant forest, its scale is far larger than the concrete forest in the urban area.
Being among them, Gao Gong can feel a more peaceful force, like a **** standing in the world, looking at all living beings.
??The exoskeleton warrior exploring the road ahead suddenly stretched out his hand to signal for cover.
Gao Gong took Du Zhaodi and hid behind a tree. Soon, a muscle-horned antelope appeared not far away.
??This antelope is about two meters tall. The two horns on the top of its head are like steel bars bent backwards. Its head is wrapped in a streamlined mechanical helmet, and its neck is downwards with clear muscles.
?It walked slowly to the foot of a tree, rolled up the fallen metal leaves on the ground with its tongue, and chewed them slowly. It ate for about five minutes, and then left slowly.
??The exoskeleton warrior in front waved, and the group set off on the road again.
While walking to a waterfall, everyone saw another mechanical biochemical beast.
??This is a three-story-tall mechanical rhinoceros. The surface of the body is covered by huge metal modules. The spine is a row of mane-like cables. There are four blowholes on both sides of the abdomen.
At this moment, it is standing under the waterfall, letting the water wash away its "reinforced iron bones". Every five minutes, the four blowholes will spurt out turbid water columns.
It feels inexplicably like a car wash.
?After a full half hour, it walked out of the waterfall with its head shaking, but it didn''t go far, and lay down on a rock. Its two electronic eyes flashed several times, and suddenly the screen went black.
This should be ‘sleep’ or ‘hibernation’.
At least it’s not a shutdown.
??This mechanical rhinoceros is obviously much more powerful than the muscle-horned antelope just now. Although it is not B level, it is estimated to be at C+ level. In addition to the cows and sheep, the senior engineer also saw mechanical ostriches, heavily equipped cows, and folding-wing ducks, all living leisurely.
“It’s so peaceful,” Du Zhaodi couldn’t help but say.
Comparing to the violent darkness of the beast tide and the crisis in the urban area, this place is more like a zoo, except that the animals in it are all semi-mechanical life forms.
“We’re almost at the place you mentioned,” Zhou Cong said.
Gao Gong glanced at the map, nodded and said, "Well, we''re almost there."
Gao Gong did not hide the heritage of the classical mechanical hunter. In fact, he also needed such a story background.
An ordinary mechanical hunter accidentally received the inheritance from the previous generation of hunters and gained powerful power. This is a story that makes sense.
??Without this story, if a senior engineer suddenly took out a bunch of high-tech drawings, they would definitely be sliced ??up and studied.
"Be careful, something triggered my alarm system," Zhou Cong frowned. He pressed a button on the exoskeleton. Suddenly, the arm guards on both sides were dented, and two palm-sized drones flew out. , and soon disappeared.
?Zhou Cong turned his head, and the electronic light from the eye sensor swept over Gao Gong. Gao Gong''s prosthetic eye immediately had a ''small window'', sharing the drone''s field of view.
?Gao Gong sighed secretly, thinking that he must install a ''firewall'' for himself, even if it is the basic version.
Otherwise, the prosthetic body is just like a sieve.
It’s okay to share the view, but what if you share a short video.
I am such a serious person.
Soon, through the perspective of the drone, the thick white fog was seen. Soon after the two drones penetrated the white fog, the window in the senior engineer''s eyes turned into a screen of snowflakes.
“The drone was attacked,” Zhou Cong said with a solemn expression.
“Wild virus, electronic creature, or purely physical attack?”
“I don’t know, but the last picture from the data terminal was a humanoid creature.”
“Humanoid creatures can’t be scavengers.”
?Gao Gong raised his eyebrows, and the possibility of his mind turning into a savage was actually higher.
Soon, the group of people arrived not far from the fog.
Zhou Cong divided the people into three groups, Gao Gong and Du Zhaodi were in a group, he and Zhao Zhu were in a group, and the other two exoskeleton warriors were in a group. The remaining people were on guard outside to ensure that there would be no problems with the outside world when they entered the fog to explore. .
Zhao Zhi saw Gao Gong and Du Zhaodi in a group, subconsciously opened his mouth, and finally closed it again.
?Gao Gong won''t take him, and Du Zhaodi won''t pay attention to him, so what else can he say?
Gao Gong took Du Zhaodi’s hand and opened the radiation field while entering the fog.
?However, something unexpected happened. The radiation field that had always been invincible actually lost its effect, as if there was a layer of wall blocking all the radiation energy.
?Gaogong can’t sense anything.
“This should be a new type of stealth material, similar to radar coating, except that it does not protect against electronic signals, but energy rays.”
?Du Zhaodi glanced at the white fog and made a judgment with a professional eye.
“It seems that we have indeed arrived.”
Gao Gong blinked his right eyelid twice quickly. Under the infrared vision, the fog had no effect at all.
??Is this a radiation-proof beast but not a mechanical transformer?
The two of them explored forward and soon discovered a huge corpse.
“So big!”
??This corpse is only one size smaller than the previous mechanical rhinoceros, and is still two stories high. The reason why the senior engineer was amazed is that the body of this thing is actually a lobster!
Super large steel lobster!
The shell of the lobster was covered with a thick layer of ice. Du Zhaodi took out the radiation-proof gloves and put them on, then picked up a stone from the ground and started knocking it. Judging from this skillful gesture, it was obvious that she was working in the factory.
After knocking off an ice cube, the girl with the ponytail took out a flashlight. Under the light of the flashlight, the surface of the ice cube was not hexagonal, but had a dusty appearance, as if there were countless small needlepoints sealed in the ice. middle.
“It’s nuclear ice, it comes from the sea.”
Nuclear ice, also known as nuclear ice, is a by-product of nuclear winter and generally appears on glaciers at sea level.
?After experiencing the ‘Planet Shaping’ level war, heat and light are in the minority after all, while coldness, humidity, and loneliness are the main tone of this planet.
Gao Gong walked around and found no wounds on the surface. Maybe it starved to death, or maybe it froze to death.
?Gao Gong told this to Du Zhaodi as a joke, and the ponytail girl gave him a nice look.
Soon, the two found the second body.
?This corpse reminded Gao Gong of a paper he saw in Professor Han''s laboratory.
"Is it possible for ocean people to exist?"
