A female utopia under the apocalypse of natural disasters

Ye Ting followed quietly, but when she arrived at the visitor center building, she did not continue forward, but turned around and went upstairs.

When walking up the stairs, just like every time I came here, I would sweep away my footprints with something, and then cover them with a layer of fine plant ash.

She found a room on a higher floor with windows that were almost completely blackened by smoke. She put on a black cloth to cover herself. After making sure that she would not be noticed by the group of people, she took out her telescope and continued to observe the six people. personal.

The closer they got to the water, the more they hesitated. Seeing the sun setting in the west, it would be dark if they didn't make a decision.

No one is sure what happens after dark.

Of course, the main reason was that she was not sure what would happen. She also thought about installing surveillance cameras on the rooftop, but placing surveillance cameras in a place that had been burned by fire was too conspicuous.

Besides, almost all the ones she bought in the copies required drilling holes in the wall and then installing them with screws, or they were placement-type surveillance cameras.

The former cannot be installed on the outer wall facing the bathhouse without attracting attention. Of course, the object of attention is the things in the water.

There is no place to put the placement-type surveillance camera. If you place it directly on the edge, it may be blown down by the wind or taken away by someone.

For example, the six people still standing between the bathing beach and the visitor center building, she was very careful every time she came over and always paid attention to the surrounding buildings, but she still couldn't find them.

After waiting for almost ten minutes, when the sky really started to darken, the few people seemed to be anxious. Two of them turned their heads back frequently and kept scanning the first floor of the visitor center and the edge of the rooftop.

But no matter how they looked, there wouldn't be one more person - just to be on the safe side, Ye Ting put away the telescope, stood sideways next to the blackest, almost light-proof window, and scratched out with her fingers with the naked eye Watch them through the cracks.

You can actually see relatively clearly at this distance, but it's not as clear as a telescope and can show every detail.

After about a minute, those two people including the other four couldn't really see her, and it was getting dark again. Only two of them who dared to take advantage of the situation came forward.

Taking three steps and two steps at a time, he quickly came to the shore by the water. With slightly trembling hands, he threw the fishing net he was holding tightly into the water. He didn't care whether the thrown fishing net was fully unfolded or not, and immediately ran back.

Still far away from the water, the remaining people kept looking at the two people as they approached the water. After seeing them throw out the fishing net, they shrank their necks and turned sideways, pretending to be ready at any time. As if running.

But unfortunately, until those two came back safely, nothing terrible emerged from the water.

After waiting for a few more minutes, when even the waves hit by the fishing nets on the water had dissipated, these people carefully returned to the water's edge and tentatively dragged the two fishing nets ashore.

Back at the water's edge, the man who threw the fishing net carefully grabbed the rope and dragged the net ashore.

The fishing net was entangled with large blood-red seaweed-like plants, mixed with one or two fish as long as those people's arms.

Ye Ting grew up in the inland and could not recognize its original breed. She could only use her mind to write down its appearance in the notebook in the space villa as carefully as possible.

The whole body is pitch black but will reflect a faint dirty green color under the light. The abdomen is white and the body is streamlined. There are no fish scales. The fish skin on the body seems to be covered with a layer of mucus. The person holding it is wearing a pair of rough labor protection. Gloves don't hold it very well either.

The whale-like skin was incompatible with the opening and closing fins she had seen on freshwater fish throughout the body, as if freshwater fish and marine mammals were stitched together.

But the tail is covered with fish skin and needs to be swung up and down.

The head accounts for one-third of the body, and half of the head seems to be infested with small barnacles. Someone knocked on the densely packed barnacles, which were only about the size of a quarter of a fingernail, but did not knock them off or pry them off. Instead, it was stimulated to spit out green mucus.

The mucus was sprinkled on the protective clothing, but it did not corrode the protective clothing and flowed to the ground. However, the ground was covered with tiles, so it was difficult to see its nature.

But it seemed to be quite sticky. The glove of the person who wanted to clean up the mucus on his body was stuck to his clothes by the mucus and was difficult to pull off. As a last resort, the other party could only cut off the glove, take out another one from the space and put it on. .

Barnacles covered almost half of the head. She could not find the position of the eyes. Under the barnacles was a big mouth full of sharp teeth.

The mouth has the characteristics of a snake and can be expanded very widely. There are one or two grooves from the tip to the root of the teeth, which seem to be used to facilitate bleeding or tearing the flesh of the prey.

There are no molars deep in the mouth. It is estimated that the way of eating is to tear off pieces of meat from the prey and then swallow it directly.

The activity level is low, and it only bounces occasionally after being grasped by someone's hands.

Thinking that she had been setting fires at certain places these days, and that the number of human footprints at the gate of the visitor center was gradually decreasing, until today when she came to visit at noon, there were none, Ye Ting added later.

——Maybe it’s because there’s not enough food.

The above all come from the first piranha that they looked at over and over. After the first piranha satisfied its curiosity, the remaining fish in the fishing net can be thrown directly into the space.

Perhaps in order to distribute the catch fairly in the future, the two people who cast the net first took some time to pick out the fish one by one from the net and put them in a separate large plastic basin.

The remaining blood-red algae was not wasted. It was placed in another plastic storage box and weighed.

Those algae gave her far less sense of crisis than those fish, so Ye Ting did not look at the algae more, but continued to observe the piranhas in the plastic basin through the telescope.

When one of the fish swayed its body like a corpse, she seemed to vaguely see a vague circular mark on the lower middle part of its body, slightly close to the fish's belly.

What was left behind?

Just when Ye Ting wanted to see clearly, the buckets and basins containing fish and algae were put into the space, and she had no choice but to give up.

Maybe it was because there was no danger in the water, or maybe it was because the sun was setting and the wiring and lamps in the bathhouse were basically destroyed in the first fire, leaving no lighting.

All six players actually walked to the waterside with new fishing nets, stood as far away from each other, and threw the fishing nets as far as possible to the center of the bathing beach. Then they stood on the shore and waited for the fishing nets to gradually sink, trying to catch as many fish as possible.

But before the fishing net completely sank, their group sank first.
