When Lance woke up again, the sun had already reached the west.
"Why does my nose hurt?"
Lance wrinkled his nose, he asked curiously.
The two mermaids still stayed on the island.
"illusion."
Winsor leaned against the rock next to him, finished speaking calmly, and then turned a page of the book.
Face down, directly on the sand, of course the nose hurts.
Lance slept for a long time, and Winsor helped Lance dry everything while Lance was sleeping.
After the sea breeze and sunshine dried these things, Wenser put them back into the suitcase.
He knew that according to Lance's character, although these things were useless long ago, Lance would never throw them away.
"What are you looking at?"
Lance rubbed his nose, then walked to Wenser's side, curious to see what Wenser was holding.
In the end, he saw that Winsor was holding a crumpled book, and the name of this book was "Moby Dick".
"Where did this come from?"
Lance was curious; he didn't have any books in his suitcase.
"I picked it up."
Winsor said without blushing at all.
"It's really strange to see you read this book."
Lance glanced at the cover of the book and said.
"Oh?"
"This book talks about how humans capture white whales, and you, um, are a mermaid."
Lance explained tactfully.
In "Moby Dick", it mainly tells the story of a paranoid captain and a white whale.
The captain had his leg bitten off by a ferocious and intelligent white whale, so he became paranoid and crazy in trying to catch the white whale.
In the story, the captain travels around the world several times in order to avenge his hatred, and finally meets the white whale. The crew fights wits and bravery with a white whale, and finally dies together, leaving only one sailor alive.
But in the current world, no matter in terms of IQ or rarity, the mermaid is comparable to that white whale.
Therefore, Wenser reads "Moby Dick", a bit like the white whale in the story is reading this novel written by humans.
I don't know how this novel will be adapted from the perspective of Moby Dick.
Winsor touched Lance's head and sighed:
"Sometimes, I really want to see how your brain grows."
How strange.
Lance: "..."
Winsor put the book back in the suitcase, zipped it up, and said to Lance:
"Let's go back, you haven't eaten all day today."
"go back?"
Thinking that his ears would still be devastated when he went back, Lance couldn't help frowning, "I don't want to."
After finally having the opportunity to take a day off, why did he go to find destruction by himself
Wouldn't it be nice to have a good day
"Winser, you haven't eaten grilled fish yet, have you?"
Lance suddenly remembered that he likes grilled fish so much, so for mermaids, grilled fish should be similarly attractive, so he thought of using grilled fish to divert his attention.
"I'll cook grilled fish for you."
After finishing speaking, Lance began to get busy with great interest.
Wenser wanted to refuse, but seeing Lance's vitality, he hesitated for a while, but he didn't refuse after all.
The first step in grilling fish is lighting a fire.
Catching fish is a small case for mermaids, and it can be done in minutes. The problem now is how to make a fire.
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. Lance did not expect that his career of grilling fish seemed to be about to die on the fire.
Lance once spied on Wen Yu and the others to make a fire. From Lance's point of view, Wen Yu and the others used the most common method of making fire by drilling wood—
After a few drills with a small stick, smoke came out, and then sparks came out.
This led Lance, who had no experience in survival in the wild, to think that it was easy to drill wood to make fire, and it would be fine in a while.
So, Wenser held his cheeks and watched Lance rubbing a small stick there.
Following Lance's movement of drilling wood to make fire and turning the small wooden stick, his whole face turned red, and his tail frantically swung there, but nothing happened.
Wenser looked at the sky and found that the sun was going to set in a while, so he could only speak:
"Forget it, Lance, let's just eat fish."
"No, I must eat grilled fish!"
Lance was indignant, he blew on his webbed claws that had been swollen and swollen from being tortured by a stick, and then continued to fight like chicken blood,
"It only takes a while to get out of the fire."
Winsor sighed and said:
"You said the same thing half an hour ago."
"I don't want to go back!"
Gritting his teeth, Lance continued rubbing the little stick when his hand got better, "Even if I go back, I have to wait for the fire to start!"
Winsor: "..."
He suddenly couldn't bear to tell Lance that drilling wood to make fire, even the most experienced human beings doing this kind of thing, might have to rub it all night.
It is possible to get a cigarette.
"Crack Crack Crack"
This is the sound of drilling wood for fire.
After listening for a long time, Winsor could see the galaxy everywhere while lying on the beach, while Lance was still working hard.
This kind of tenacity made Wenser sigh, and redefined his perseverance towards Xiaoyu.
Wenser was suddenly very grateful for his decision to swim out of the coral bone with Lance, otherwise, with Lance's tenacious fighting spirit, who knows if Lance continues to stay in the coral bone, sooner or later Lance will die. To make something happen.
Wenser got up, and he swam over, stopping Lance's movements.
Lance raised his head and complained angrily:
"Where did I go wrong? Why can't I get out?"
Wenser laughed dumbfounded. He looked at Lance's hand and found that Lance's hand was red and swollen, so he asked:
"Doesn't it hurt?"
"well enough."
"It'll be fine in a minute," Lance said.
His expression was a little depressed: "I want you to try the grilled fish. The grilled fish is really good."
Lance really wanted Winsor to try the grilled fish.
In Lance's logic, he thinks that Winsor has always lived in the water, so he must have never eaten cooked food. He wants Winsor to taste grilled fish, and then happily tells Winsor that this food method is invented by humans. .
If it really doesn't work, it's fine to tell Wenser the grilled fish as if it's your own wish.
After all, Wenser has done so much for him? So why can't he give back to Winsor with his favorite things
Hearing what Lance said, Wenser felt warm in his heart, his brows and eyes stretched, and finally he couldn't help holding Lance's hand, and kissed the back of Lance's hand lightly.
Lance:? !
The white mermaid in front of him trembled in fright. Wenser looked at Lance in front of him, and he smiled. Then he quickly changed the subject:
"When you drilled wood to make fire, the speed of spinning the small stick was too slow. When you stopped the hot spot after drilling, it would cool down. Naturally, there will be no fire."
"Really?"
Lance looked blank, "Winser, do you have experience? Haven't you been in the water all the time?"
"This is my secret."
Winsor drove Lance aside solemnly, "Go and pick up some dry branches and coconuts, I'll help you."
"okay."
Lance nodded foolishly, and he walked deep into the island.
After Lance left, Wenser lowered his head, staring blankly at the stick Lance used to drill wood.
Moments later, Winsor
Shaking his head, sighing, he transformed a few strands of his hair into small tentacles, and several small tentacles twirled the stick frantically.
Unexpectedly, one day, he would divide his tentacles to make fire by drilling wood.
Wenser thought with some melancholy that since raising Xiaoyu, his tentacles have really been used to functions that he had never imagined before.
With the cooperation of several small tentacles, the green smoke was quickly drilled out.
And Qingyan showed that it was almost successful. According to the picture in his memory, Wenser quickly adjusted the dried coconut husk that Lance had prepared by the side, and successfully ignited a little spark.
Wenser didn't dare to vent his anger, and hurriedly let the little tentacles continue to drill wood to make fire, while quickly gathered some more dry leaves, and finally lit a small bonfire.
"Wow!"
The light of the fire was obvious in the night. Lance, who was picking up firewood in the distance, turned his head and saw the bonfire, and it immediately glowed differently.
"you are great!"
Without thinking about it, Lance swam back with a bunch of dry leaves he picked up. He looked at the flames, just like Prometheus in the myth looked at the first fire of mankind, and hugged it excitedly. Wenther next to him, speaking incoherently,
"how did you do it?"
Winsor secretly turned the little tentacles back into hair. He touched Lance's head, kissed Lance's forehead, and said:
"secret."
"We can eat grilled fish!"
Lance put the firewood aside, quickly picked up the sea fish that had been sitting beside him for a long time, and ran to the sea to handle it clumsily, saying while processing,
"Winser, rest for a while, I'll do the rest."
Wenser raised his eyebrows, and finally chose to let Lance do it himself, so he nodded and said:
"it is good."
After Lance finished handling the fish in a daze, he twisted the dead sea fish, strung it casually on a branch, and started grilling it over the flames.
Wenser, who was watching the whole process: "..."
Judging from the picture in his memory, Wenser was very worried that he would eat a carbon instead of a fish.
As it turns out, Winsor's concerns were justified.
The whole grilling process made Lance very painful.
He couldn't figure out why the protagonist in the TV series cooked a burnt fish so easily, but when it came to him, accidents happened frequently.
Not to mention halfway through the roasting, the fish suddenly fell into the bonfire, almost taking away the only kindling directly;
In the later stage, the outside of Lance's grilled fish was already blackened by smoke, but the inside was just cooked.
"In fairy tales
Everything is deceptive, and it is also true in TV dramas. "
Lance refused to admit that there was a problem with his craftsmanship, and he said stubbornly to Wenser, "Would you like to take a bite and try?"
Wenser was silent. He glanced at Lance, then at the dark guy in Lance's hand, and refused:
"Do not."
"The mermaid will not die."
Lance said solemnly, and then took a bite, trying to prove that this thing only looked disgusting and tasted ok.
Unexpectedly, after taking a bite, what bursts out in the mouth is not the burnt and tender taste, but the bitter and coarse grainy feeling.
Especially like eating a coal directly.
Lance tried his best to control his facial features that wanted to drift, and then he took the remaining fish and thought about how to remedy it.
"I won't eat."
Wenser looked at the scorched black mark on the corner of Lance's mouth. It was funny but he didn't dare to laugh. He firmly refused, "I will never eat it."
"Well, it failed this time."
Regardless of Wenser's dissuasion, Lance said, "I have experience this time, and I'll bake another fish for you, it's definitely better than this one."
"No need, I..."
Lance turned back to prepare to harm another fish. He had just picked up the other fish when he heard Wenser's words behind him abruptly cut off.
Out of curiosity, when Lance turned his head, he saw Wenser lying on the beach, his eyes closed, his face pale, and he seemed to have suddenly lost consciousness.
"Winser?"
Lance was so frightened that he threw away the fish in his hand, and he quickly crawled towards Wenser,
"What's wrong with you? Don't scare me, I won't give you grilled fish, Wenther????"
…
Mainland, inside the doomsday laboratory.
After a burst of dizziness, Wen Yu woke up, only to find that he was still lying on the operating bed in the laboratory.
Three days ago, Wen Yu and his party were found by the rescue team, and the three of them returned to the mainland as survivors.
The doctors in the doomsday laboratory said that in order to prevent Wen Yu and his party from having any hidden ailments, the three of them must undergo a full body examination.
As a result, the three were separated and spent every day on various inspection instruments.
"I am..."
Wen Yu wanted to get up, but found that a strange instrument was worn on his head, so he subconsciously pulled out the wire connected to it.
"Colonel!"
When the doctor next to him saw Wen Yu pulling out the wire, he immediately became nervous, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Wen Yu down, "It's an examination instrument, wait a while and it will be fine!"
Wen Yu found himself
Now his body is weak, and he was pressed back by the doctor, so he could only frown, lay back on the bed, and asked:
"What kind of instrument is this?"
It turned out that when I checked my body, there was no such thing at all.
"Oh, it's a new instrument invented by Dr. Mu Ran."
The doctor said, "Colonel, just lie down for a while and you'll be fine. The examination will be over soon."
Hearing this, Wen Yu frowned, but did not continue to struggle.
"Speaking of which, Colonel and your group are really a miracle."
While waiting for the progress of the instrument's inspection, the doctor said, "Such a big black storm can survive, and it just happened to hit an uninhabited island."
"lucky."
Wen Yu replied coldly, and then fell silent.
The doctor was blocked by Wen Yu's words, and he choked for a long time. He wanted to test why Wen Yu was so lucky, but Wen Yu obviously didn't cooperate, so he had to give up.
Five minutes later, the progress bar on the instrument was already full.
The doctor stepped forward, took the instrument off Wen Yu's head, and signaled Wen Yu to leave.
Before leaving, Wen Yu pretended to ask casually:
"What does this instrument check?"
"I don't know, Dr. Muran just asked us to collect data."
The doctor tidied up and put the instrument back into the cart next to it, and said, "Carl and Rose also did this check, it should be a routine check."
Wen Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally left.
He is a little weak now, so he has to go back to the medical cabin quickly.
Half an hour after Wen Yu checked his body, in a certain dark room in the doomsday laboratory, Mu Ran put on his black-rimmed glasses. He fiddled with the equipment in his hand, with a playful smile on his face.
In this pitch-black dark room, a magical image is projected into the video camera in the center of the conference room——
The image is blurry, but it can be seen from the outline that it is a white mermaid.
The white mermaid is lying on the edge of the lifeboat, babbling and screaming, with a starry sky in the background.
The video is short and ends after a few seconds.
After the video was over, the dark room was lit up, and on the conference table, a circle of doctors in the doomsday laboratory sat impressively.
No one dared to speak the first sentence, they didn't even have anyone to question the video.
Mu Ran waited for a while, and finally he was the first to speak:
"Don't worry, this is drawn from the memory images of Wen Yu, Carl, and Rose. It cannot be an illusion."
"If this is true..."
A doctor with white hair and beard said tremblingly, "This shows that the experiment back then was successful."
Mu Ran laughed loudly:
"Isn't this a good thing? This shows that our proposal is correct. Those experiments, those people, are not unnecessary sacrifices!"
He got excited and stirred up the atmosphere in the entire conference room:
"Think about it, if that mermaid really exists, what will he mean to us?"
The doctors looked at each other, and after a while, someone suggested:
"Then at least, catch him first?"
"certainly."
Mu Ran smiled slightly, "I will have a good talk with the chairmen."
The author has something to say: I would like to recommend my friend [Demolition Bone]'s subject of unlimited streams, and "The Creator Lost After That Night" is also a pseudo-sci-fi style.
