Mysterious creature sightings

After running for almost ten minutes in a direction of 30 degrees to the right, they finally escaped from the strange area, and their symptoms were reducing.

The four people knelt on the ground, holding on to the tree trunk and gasping for air.

Jiang Yuxing's cold sweat and hot sweat were twisted together, and he gasped and spoke intermittently: "You...how do you know that thirty degrees to the right is correct?"

"There are instructions on the ground," Lin Jia said a little weakly, but she saw it at the time, "The moving green leaves...are they leaf-cutting ants?"

Lin Zheng said "Hmm". His fast heart rate and stinging lungs had not yet subsided. He raised his head and looked around. The surrounding area was dark and he could not see if anyone was there.

"Leaf-cutter ants point the way?" Jiang Yuxing was a little confused. "They carry leaves back to their nests. They do use pheromones to find the way back together, but how..."

"It's an arrow," Lin Zheng was silent for a moment and then added, "And even if there are pheromones that know the way, the leaf-cutting ants will not be closely arranged."

So there must be other reasons, such as humans, because there happens to be just one person who can control the behavior of living things.

Before Xu Jiayan could react, he came up with a reason from a scientific point of view: "Maybe the leaf-cutting ants here have a way to deal with similar infrasonic attacks just now. There is a very thick concentration of pheromones on the ground..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yuxing silently poked him. He was unprepared and the light on his head swayed.

Both the speaker and the reminder were so obviously stupid that Lin Jia couldn't help but roll her eyes even as she fell to the ground.

Lin Zheng didn't speak, and Lin Jia and Jiang Yuxing could only gasp and make no sound. Xu Jiayan reacted and finally realized: "You mean Jiang..."

Jiang Yuxing hit him hard again, but neither of them could stand firm. They stepped on a protruding stone and fell over. Gulu rolled down and was blocked by a tree.

Lin Jia: "..."

She was so stupid that even her colleagues wanted to die.

Fortunately, through the misty night, the lighting was not very effective, so they didn't have to see each other's awkward and speechless expressions.

Lin Zheng said nothing more after saying that leaf-cutter ants will not be closely arranged. When his heartbeat slowly calmed down and the speculation that he had just clicked disappeared, he asked Jiang Yuxing to use a detector to detect the surrounding area, and then find a place to pierce it. Stay in the tent overnight and check the physical condition of Lin Jia and Xu Jiayan.

His tone was calm and collected, as if the name that was about to blurt out just now had never appeared in his mind, and that person could not appear here.

He didn't say anything, and it was even harder for the other three people to say anything, so they all worked silently, only occasionally glancing into the darkness, always feeling that a pair of eyes were staring at them.

But no one was afraid, and they even felt relieved and at ease. After all, the people who come are the nemesis of dangerous creatures all over the mountain.

The place to pitch the tent was chosen on the extension line "thirty degrees to the right", about ten meters away. After Jiang Yuxing had tied it, he scanned it with a light and found that Lin Zheng had tied an extra one and was now fixing the four corners. His profile was calm and indifferent, and his hands were meticulous in tapping the fixing posts.

Jiang Yuxing hesitated to speak, but finally decided to swallow what he wanted to say and helped hang an insect-repelling lamp beside the tent.

Unfortunately, when I woke up the next day, there were no signs of anyone sleeping in the tent, not even a single footprint next to it.

Jiang Yuxing and the others pretended to glance over accidentally and took a look at Lin Zheng's expression.

Lin Zheng just stared at the tent for a while, with no expression on his face. Then he put away his things as usual and said, "Go back to the pool, Jiang Yuxing, turn on the sonic measuring instrument."

...

Ling Jiangyue was actually not far from them.

I had a "long talk" with that ugly fish for five minutes last night, but I couldn't get any information about what species it was, so I could only search online.

But there was no signal here, so she could only follow the Special Investigation Team and use their signal booster. While they were retracing their steps to seek death, she finally searched out enough information and found two relatively similar pictures from various reference creature pictures.

One is the horn fish, also called the horn box puffer. It has two horns on its head, a protruding mouth and bulging eyes. It looks like a child who has just secretly applied lipstick to an adult, showing off its bowed mouth anytime and anywhere.

The other is Trichocephalus, an amphibian that lived in the late Permian period more than 200 million years ago. Only fossils have been found so far. The existing pictures are all artistically processed imaginary pictures with dark colors. The most special thing is the long head. Like a boomerang.

The thing in the pool looks somewhat related to these two, with horns on its head, a tail behind its butt, and four short legs, but they are white, which fits the peculiarity of Shennongjia - there are many albino creatures.

I don’t know which night these two guys made a mistake and created a new race with special abilities. Fortunately, it is old and has no wife to bear children, so it seems to be almost extinct.

This was her first time analyzing biological information on her own, and for some reason she missed the days when she pretended not to understand Jiang Yuxing and the others in the special investigation office while they chatted and taught her science.

I hope they can be smart and not get wiped out by that ugly fish.

As for the rest, she had figured out what kind of creature was causing mischief, and warned it not to float up. This was one of the purposes for which she was researched, and she cited it as her job. After figuring out the job, she also After helping the Special Investigation Division escape once and meeting Lin Zheng, it was time for her to leave.

Her next stop is Yunnan. It is said that there are very mysterious Gu insects there, which will definitely be interesting to study.

Before you go, you can buy some ornamental hornfish. That thing is so ugly that it looks strange, so it’s a bit interesting, she thought.

...

"It's not sound waves, it's electrical impulses."

The Special Investigation Office trekked for three hours, circled back to the waterhole, and used a detector to detect the real culprit that made them dizzy and vomiting last night.

Xu Jiayan frowned and looked at the data: "A considerable number of normal organisms, especially marine organisms, can use electrical pulses to communicate information, but they are all bioelectricity generated by changes in nerve potential, and their intensity is very weak. Even electric eels can't. There is no way to send out an electrical pulse with such intensity.”

"I'm afraid it's not just electric pulses, but also magnetic fields." Lin Zheng squatted down and swept away the soil, touched the stones, and checked the copper plate shield of the instrument.

"There are metal ores in the mountain, and coupled with the magnetic effect produced by its own current activity, it should emit electromagnetic pulses."

It is the kind of electromagnetic pulse generated at the moment of an explosion, lightning strike, or solar storm, which can cause instantaneous and irreparable damage to electrical equipment.

It will also increase the possibility of genetic mutation in organisms, increasing the rate of human cancer.

Jiang Yuxing said "Holy shit" and quickly pulled them back behind two trees: "So strong, we are really delivering crunchy snacks to your door!"

Lin Jia glanced at him: "Buying so much insurance, what are you afraid of? You should think on the bright side. Bioelectric energy has evolved into powerful electromagnetic pulses, which is of extraordinary significance for the study of brain-computer interfaces. As long as you are still alive today The next head will keep you alive, like Hawking."

"The focus now is what kind of creature is inside, which can emit electromagnetic pulses and be projected into the shape of a dragon." Xu Jiayan's curiosity about that thing soared.

"Brother Lin, what should we do? Should we go back and replenish some protective items in a targeted manner, or should we go and explore first?"

Lin Zheng looked at the pool without saying anything. The three of them felt strange and couldn't see anything when they looked over.

"What's wrong?" Lin Jia asked.

"There don't seem to be many insects and small animals around here." Lin Zheng said lightly.

why? As soon as you begin to suspect that she is around, it seems that every patch of soil, every clump of grass, and every tree is vying to offer traces of her presence.
