Abnormal Museum Pokédex

The plane crossed the equator, and within five hours, it flew from the snowy northern China to the scorching southern hemisphere.

Winter was thus annihilated in the cracks of time.

The convertible jeep is running in the continuous rainforest, and the moist wind is blowing in the face, so the skin becomes sticky, but the mood is extraordinarily bright.Xiao Su took a deep breath, enjoying the pure air of East Africa, turned his head, only to see that Rong Rui was sweating profusely, and the front of his T-shirt was completely soaked.

This is probably the price of not being afraid of the cold in winter. In summer, he always looks like he has been washed by water, and he carries a sweaty dog.

"It's too hot." He rolled the T-shirt under his armpit with one hand, showing his strong abdominal muscles, "Brother, let's live in Mohe in the future. I don't think it's suitable for me below 45 degrees north latitude."

"Go to the North Pole to live." Xiao Su said, "In this way, you and your friends can happily catch fish in the Arctic Ocean."

"...so I'm an emperor penguin?"

"Emperor penguins live in Antarctica." Xiao Su said, "There are polar bears and arctic foxes in the North Pole."

"I don't care, I'm going to the North Pole to be an emperor penguin!" Rong Rui shook his head and tail like a silly child, acting hardcore.Xiao Su couldn't help laughing, wiped his sweat with a towel, and scolded: "Stop making trouble, drive hard!"

The jeep drove out of the rainforest and turned into the road along the lake. As far as the eye can see, the endless blue water of Whale Lake is on the left, and the steep rocky mountains are on the right. oil painting.

The last time I walked on this road was three years ago. In a blink of an eye, Sangtian changed. The armed rebels who once entrenched here disappeared. Busina was sentenced to death as a traitor. Died on the border line fleeing to Chumba.

Peace and prosperity have come to this land again. With the improvement of law and order and economic recovery, tourists and explorers come to visit one after another. Although this place is not as developed and mature as popular scenic spots, it still has a lot of natural interest.

Entering the Sea of ​​Origin, the rugged mountain road three years ago has been repaired, and the jeep soon arrived at the location of the big crack.The bright sunlight is completely blocked by the surrounding rocks, and cold wind blows from the cracks in the ground from time to time, dispelling the heat and bringing coolness.

"'Devil's Mouth'." Rong Rui said while standing on the edge of the crack, while preparing the equipment needed for cave diving, "the locals call it this name. When my father and I came last time, even the guide didn't want to Come down with us, only dare to stand up and wait for us."

Xiao Su threw the safety rope to him, looked down, and vaguely heard the sound of empty water: "It's so deep... Now that I think about it... It was like that at that time, how dare you go down with Yeager, you are so young and not afraid die."

There is a fixing ring made by previous explorers on the rocky cliff. Rong Rui tested the strength and tied the safety rope to it: "Why, are you afraid now?"

"The three major signs of middle age are greedy for money, afraid of death and not falling asleep." Xiao Su stood on the edge of the cliff with his hips akimbo, and sighed, "Your brother and I have everything now."

Rong Rui threw the diving suit to him: "Brother, you don't chat with Zong Ming less in the future, and you can learn to talk nonsense, and you won't be cold at all."

"I've never been cold before."

"Go to school and ask any student, who is the most cold and cold male god in Jingda University?"

"No way? Why do I feel that I am very elegant and easy-going."

"...Forget it, be cold, so I won't worry about you being snatched away every day." Rong Rui unbuttoned his shirt for him, "As a married person, it is your duty to me to keep a sense of distance from idlers at all times. obligation."

"Have you mastered the law of marriage?!" Xiao Su patted his dirty hands away, and stepped aside to change the diving suit by himself, "Don't touch your hands, I will do it myself!"

Rong Rui was full of regrets, and went to change his clothes.

After tidying up, the two got on the safety rope one after the other. Xiao Su was on top, sliding down the rope while looking up, and saw that the surrounding giant rocks formed an uneven oval, circled a piece of blue sky, shadows and The bright contrast is strong.

He pressed the camera on his head, snapped a photo, and heard Rong Rui shouting from below: "The side hole is here, be careful."

After walking along the measuring hole for a while, they began to dive. Xiao Su turned on the headlights and saw Rong Rui's slender and vigorous figure in front of him. In the past three years, he has grown a little taller, and his body has become stronger and more graceful. Dolphins are generally more than capable.He was very fast, but he didn't rush forward. After a while, he stopped and waited for Xiao Su, and opened the way in front of him without hurrying.

In the past three years, many things have happened to them, such as getting married and starting a family, getting medical treatment and keeping fit, and developing their careers... However, for nature, it is only a moment. There is no change between Xiao Su and Xiao Su when he first came here. He still remembers that day Every corner I turned, every stalagmite I avoided.

He also remembered how desperate he was that day.That day, he was really going to die with Yeager, and he died here. When he pressed the hand-drawn map under Fang Huize, he never thought that anyone would be able to understand it. I hope, God pity, Rong Rui can understand what he is talking about.

One ten-thousandth hope was finally realized. So far, he feels that he is the luckiest person in the world.

A hazy light appeared in front of him, and Xiao Su's heart skipped a beat—the stone hall has arrived.

After surfacing, he saw dozens of bright sunlight shining down from the cracks in the dome. Xiao Su took off his diving mask, gasped, and saw countless dust floating and jumping in the beam of light, like elves.

"Let's rest for a while." Rong Rui took off the diving suit to the waist, packed up the equipment with his upper body bare, and sorted out a flat place for the two to rest.Xiao Su took out a water bottle from his waterproof bag, opened it and handed it to him: "It seems different here?"

"Well, when we came last time, we set up a relay base here. It is connected to the outside world and can be connected to satellite communication. The signal is not bad."

Xiao Su turned on his handheld computer and connected to the satellite network. Sure enough, the bandwidth was very good, so he uploaded all the photos he took underwater to the cloud space.

"What is this?" Rong Rui squatted beside him drinking water, pointing to the photo on the holographic screen and asked, "Is it the Endagala fish you mentioned?"

"It's its collateral ancestor, maybe." Xiao Su took a sip from the water bottle and said, "Look, this spot of light, I suspect it's an ancient fish that I've never seen before—it's said that the fish on the top of their heads The sac is composed of fluorescent substances, and when it is pulled out, it will emit a golden color like fireworks. It’s just that the water quality is a bit muddy, so I can’t see it clearly, I hope I can see it again later.”

Xiao Su rested for a while, got up and continued to take pictures in the cave. The last time the sky was dim and the situation was tense, he didn't notice that there were some rare rock grasses growing here. These ancient plants were very small, like purple-red sesame seeds. Tightly grows on wet rocks.

"What is this? Moss?" Rong Rui stretched out a finger and pulled the dark green mesh roots.

Xiao Su said: "No, these are the reproductive branches of rock grass. In order to survive, they form a dense network and extend into the water below the rock... These are nutrient branches in the water, providing nutrients for the flowers above."

"Such a small flower?"

"It's actually stamens, and their petals have degenerated into filaments... This kind of plant has been extinct for at least a hundred years, but it can still be seen here." Xiao Su sighed, "Isn't it amazing? It can still be seen in such a harsh environment." To grow, to reproduce, that is the power of life."

"...Brother, you look so handsome in class."

"...When you first dived, I found that your waist-to-hip ratio is very good."

"A lot of gossip."

"Each each other."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then kissed heartily.

Rest for a quarter of an hour and move on. The closer you are to the destination, the narrower the cave and the more turbulent the water flow. Rong Rui slowed down and moved forward slowly, stopping from time to time to wait for Xiao Su to take pictures.

There was rumbling thunder in the water, Rong Rui stopped, grabbed the iron ring that had been nailed to the top of the cave with his left hand, turned his head and gestured that they had arrived.Xiao Su suddenly became nervous, grabbed his left arm, and stabilized his body in the rushing water.

"Are you ready?" Rong Rui asked in sign language.

Xiao Su nodded, Rong Rui's right hand passed under his ribs, and hugged his waist tightly, his left hand suddenly loosened——

Amid the sound of roaring water, they were engulfed by the violent collision of the water, and rushed forward like flying. After a few meters, they suddenly fell, jumped down from the narrow cave, and fell with the waterfall.

After a short period of weightlessness, they hugged each other and fell into a deep pool. Gradually, buoyancy overwhelmed gravity, and they came to a stillness in the pool.

The roar of the impact of the waterfall became distant and dull because of the barrier of the water, and the lighting diffused a small halo in the water. They let go of each other and looked around slowly, only to see countless pale yellow fish floating in the pool The light spots, on and off, like fireflies in the water.

A group of light-colored small fish spotted them and swam towards them, forming a huge funnel around them, spinning slowly.Suddenly, a small fish found the "firefly" beside it, rushed over swiftly, bit it in its mouth, and swallowed it.

At the moment before death, the light sac on the head of the "Firefly" suddenly exploded, emitting bright golden light, and then slowly extinguished in the darkness.

Xiao Su was immersed in this mysterious underwater world, until Rong Rui shook his hand, and then reluctantly floated up.

This is a huge underground cave, more than ten times larger than the stone hall where they rested before. There are more than a dozen large and small holes on the rock wall, some of which are like the one they came in, with water pipes spraying down, A series of narrow waterfalls are formed, some of which are empty pipes, and the cool wind blows from them from time to time, making a low-pitched musical sound like blowing xun.

Numerous stalagmites hang down from the top of the cave, most of which are half a meter long, and some are two or three meters long, with water dripping from the tip, like a devil's spear.The surrounding of the cave is uneven, forming many rock platforms on which rock grass, moss and fungi grow. Some ancient reptiles crawl on the wet rock wall, looking leisurely.

They were floating on the water, Xiao Su took off his mask, and kept taking pictures with a high-definition camera. Rong Rui had already been here three years ago and acted as a temporary explainer: "The fungus for the development of targeted drugs was found here. According to the clues provided by my mother 15 years ago...they also discovered some other valuable animals and plants, which are now used in other scientific research fields, including medicine, bionics, agriculture and so on."

Xiao Su has read the relevant internal reports. This cave can be called a miracle of the creator. It is isolated from the world, but it has formed a unique ecological balance in the geological evolution of hundreds of millions of years, and preserved some extremely ancient biological specimens that can be called fossils. Some organisms have genetic mutations due to the natural environment, and even form biological characteristics completely different from their collateral "relatives and friends", which is of great research value.

Three years ago, the Chinese scientific research team was the first to come here after the end of the Kili Civil War and obtained first-hand information. In the past three years, researchers from all over the world have joined in this research and achieved considerable results. vulgar results.

And all this stems from Zheng Fei's discovery 15 years ago.

With deep reverence and gratitude to their mother, they took photos, videos, and samples in the cave. In order to maintain the special environment here, they completed all the work within an appropriate time and left through another exit.

After resting twice, they swam out of the underground labyrinth along the tortuous "pipeline" and into the bay area at the end of the west bank of Whale Lake.

Unknowingly, the sun was already setting outside, Xiao Su climbed onto the rocky bank by Rong Rui's hand, took off his diving equipment exhaustedly, and lay down on the rock heated by the sun, gasping for breath.The sunset glow stretches in the west with a beautiful orange-red color, and the sky is filled with fish-like fiery clouds. This scenery is dazzlingly beautiful, yet familiar.

Yes, it is very similar to the diary video taken by Zheng Fei 15 years ago.

Xiao Su raised his arms and turned his head to look at Rong Rui. He obviously thought of this too. He hugged his right knee with his hands and stared at the boundary line of sky and water in the distance, his eyes were gentle and sentimental.

Xiao Su didn't speak, and gently stroked his wet back and the tips of his dripping hair, giving him silent comfort.

As dusk fell and the sky dimmed, a double-decker yacht floated on the endless water of Whale Lake.Xiao Su sat cross-legged on the front deck and looked into the distance, his white shirt fluttered slightly in the evening wind, and the outline of his thin body was faintly visible.

Rong Rui came out of the cabin with a dinner plate: "Brother, it's time to eat."

After three years of hard work, he has barely been able to cook some home-cooked food. Today's dinner is fried fish and buttered bread, with instant sea vegetable soup and grilled pineapple.The taste of the food...was very average. Fortunately, there were two bottles of good white wine on board, which saved the situation a little bit.

Xiao Su was originally a very picky eater, but after being with him for so long, his appetite has become very Buddhist. As long as the poison does not kill him, he can eat anything.

Maybe this is the power of love.

"I'm so tired, why didn't you take a nap just now?" Rong Rui poured wine for him and said unhappily, "Is your broken Weibo so important? You still do science popularization here every day."

"I'm a serious professional, unlike you, who rely on being cute to gain fans." Xiao Su took a bite of the grilled fish, and tapped his fingers on the laptop keyboard twice, "I want to sell real stuff."

"Farmer" has nearly 500 million followers on Weibo, and now he is a veritable museum big V. Of course, it is still incomparable with the small police shield. Xiao Su can only comfort himself that professionals are different from cute things. .

"What are you writing?" Rong Rui lay on his back, put his hands around his waist, and asked in surprise, "Is this abs? Brother, you are so thin, why do you still have abs?"

"...It's because I'm thin, and the subcutaneous fat is too little, so the muscles are more obvious. This kind of abdominal muscles are useless. They look like... Can you stop picking me up like a sloth?"

"You must have secretly increased your fitness behind my back, right?" Rong Rui sighed, "A mid-life crisis?"

"Go away!" Xiao Su grabbed his wrist and wanted to push him away, but found that the gnat was shaking the big tree and couldn't move it at all. It really looks like a piece of shit, "Okay, don't make trouble, wait until I finish writing this paragraph .”

As soon as he begged for mercy, Rong Rui let go and rested his chin on his shoulder to watch him type: "Do you want to make a new popular science topic? About East Africa?"

"No, I intend to organize the things we discovered during this cave dive and make a special topic." Xiao Su skillfully edited photos and short videos in the document, while inserting a short introduction, "Do you still remember the last video log of my mother? I want to turn her ideas into reality... I have already talked with the leaders of our school before the winter vacation. This time, I will come here to do a pilot exploration. After the semester starts, I may set up a new project and jointly apply for a scientific research project with Wu Xinyu and his department .”

Rong Rui let out an "oh", looked sideways at his face, and sighed: "Mr. Xiao, you are really aloof when you work hard."

Xiao Su never felt that he was aloof, maybe he was a little alienated at most, and laughed at himself: "It's a mid-life crisis. If you don't pay attention, you will be 30 years old. You have to work hard to get back the lost time."

Rong Rui stopped talking, and lay down behind him, biting his shoulder and dangling around, like a puppy trying to get his master's attention.Xiao Su was itchy by him, and grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him over: "Why are you so naughty... I won't give you an autograph anymore."

"Signature? Me?" Rong Rui licked the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and looked at his laptop screen, "Can you still sign the name of your family members when you are doing a project? Then I will ask Lao Sun, our bureau evaluates titles. Is it useful?"

"No, I'm planning to publish a popular science book, with the joint signature of 'Farmer' and 'Little Police Shield'... just to catch your enthusiasm." Xiao Su explained, "This does not conflict with scientific research projects. It is to make the creatures discovered during the cave diving into an easy-to-understand and interesting science picture book."

"Oh?" When mentioning the picture book, Rong Rui paused, thoughtful.

"I've already contacted Dachu, and I'll show you the sample draft." Xiao Su opened a few hand-drawn drawings, Rong Rui looked at it, and his expression immediately changed - Dachu's works are very delicate, with smooth lines and perfect details, but... unexpectedly It is somewhat similar to Zheng Fei's picture book style back then.

"Let's make it out, shall we?" Xiao Su hugged the back of his neck and pressed against his forehead, "Xiao Rui, this is our book, and it's also my mother's book—she drew so many cute drawings before. She likes to tell stories to children, now that she's gone, let's tell her more, shall we?"

Rong Rui stared at him, his eyes were as bright as stars, after a long time, he suddenly opened his arms and hugged him: "Okay."

It was completely dark, the moon was shining on Whale Lake, and the wind was blowing, making ripples, and countless silvery fragments appeared on the water.

"Today is New Year's Eve." Rong Rui looked up at the night sky and sighed, "But we seem to have missed it...we missed the whole winter."

"Well, we missed this winter." Xiao Su took a sip of the wine, savoring the mellow and bitter taste, and said quietly, "I hope there will be no winter in our lives."

Rong Rui touched him with his wine glass and sighed: "All right, then I won't go to Mohe."

Xiao Su laughed, leaned forward and kissed him: "Silly boy."

"Silly brother."

Looking at each other with a smile, Xiao Su typed the name of the work on the first page of the notebook file - "Illustrated Book of Abnormal Museum".

"White Giving (Temporary Title)"

In the summer of his second year of high school, Zheng Yanci received two couriers, one was his father's obituary, and the other was a power of attorney for parental guardianship.

Ten days later, the earthy boy left the small town where he had lived for 16 years, and flew to a big city full of luxury.

The new father is elegant and easy-going, he is stupid and has a lot of money, but he has a bloody buff, and if he is not good at serving, he will destroy the world in minutes.

As the successor of socialism, Zheng Yanci had no choice but to shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving the common people——

"The long night is coming, I would like to be a sharp sword in the dark, guarding the territory of mankind, from now on I will never marry a wife, have children, or establish a foundation..."

Fu Su:?

This is probably a warm, adventurous and inspirational story of an earthy boy who was forced to adopt his father to raise himself into a prosperous and beautiful place (err...).
