under the sea

I don't know how long it has been, but it hasn't been long.He Zexi, who had passed out due to lack of energy, woke up slowly.He Zexi finally understood that he might not be able to go back—at least, relying on his own strength, even if he swam to death, he would never be able to reach the surface of the sea.

Open your eyes, it is still the familiar deep sea, or the familiar super abyss...

The only difference is that the originally small flame squid became a circle bigger than He Zexi, and now he hugged him tightly with his nine arms.

In fact, He Zexi was very reluctant to use the word hug to describe its action, but after searching for a long time, he surprisingly found that he couldn't find a more appropriate adjective.

I don't know if it's because of the lack of oxygen on the bottom of the sea or because this ghost thing is exerting too much force, but He Zexi feels like he can't breathe.But even so, what He Zexi could feel was that this ridiculously large cuttlefish had no intention of harming him in the slightest.

Realizing that He Zexi woke up, Huazhi was happy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

He is the overlord of the seabed, which fish in this vast sea would dare to provoke him?

As for He Zexi, not only did he have no respect for him, but even cut off one of his legs (hands), which made Huazhi feel that his face was dishonored.

But on the issue of how to teach the disobedient companion, Huazhi has been stuck in a long-term entanglement.

After pondering for a while, Huazhi rolled her eyes, and then indifferently sprayed a mouthful of ink at He Zexi.

He Zexi, whose face was smeared with black inkfish ink: "..."

Hua Zhi let go of He Zexi's nine tentacle wrists, and warned He Zexi, "This is a small lesson for you, treat me with more respect in the future."

He Zexi: "..."

He Zexi wiped his blackened face, and looked at the flame squid standing in front of him with two arms and legs.Then apologize very sincerely, "I'm really sorry for hurting you."

Having said that, He Zexi really has no way of worshiping this mutated giant cuttlefish like a pious religious member of the theology school. He only remains in awe of the truth.

He Zexi said: Long live science.

He Zexi felt that the mysterious creature called "God" that the scientific research team had been looking for for nearly 100 years should be just a mutated giant squid that had been favored by nature to complete its miraculous evolution——

Although it can communicate, human language talent is also the result of long-term biological evolution. Who can guarantee that there will be no second creature that is favored by genetic evolution like human beings?Mysterious, unknown, supernatural... Such elusive adjectives cannot exist in the dictionary of their scientific researchers.

As a firm atheist materialist, He Zexi believes that with the deepening of research, human beings will understand and understand the world more and more deeply.He Zexi believed that as long as he sent the severed wrist back to the research institute, they would be able to decipher the secret of the genetic arrangement within a short time.

Thinking of this, He Zexi's mood to return to the land and the research institute became more urgent.So, he looked at the flame squid who was turning his back into white in front of him.

It seems obsessed with white?

Feeling that he was suddenly stared at by He Zexi, Huazhi's "change clothes" froze, then turned her head suspiciously, why was he looking at him like that?

He Zexi: "My name is He Zexi."

Hua Zhi was untying her two knotted wrists, when she heard this, she hummed, and then said, "Hua Zhi."

"Hua Zhi," He Zexi cleared his throat, and then pretended not to know, "Did you save me?"

"Of course." Hua Zhi's tone was quite proud, and it seemed to mean seeing what you would give me in return.

If he hadn't suffered from being uneducated, he would definitely say the words "the grace of saving life is a promise" like most human beings.

He Zexi: Hehe, of course it's a ghost, if it didn't sink their scientific research ship, he wouldn't need anyone to save him, okay?

He Zexi was very cooperative, and asked in surprise, "So, is it because you bit me that I was able to breathe underwater freely?"

Hua Zhi touched her wrist, "That's right."

There is nothing to hide about this kind of thing, and Huazhi didn't intend to hide it originally, even if He Zexi didn't ask, he would take the initiative to say it when he found the opportunity.

"Great."

"of course."

Being praised by He Zexi, Huazhi felt that his mood was a little fluttering, and his vanity was greatly satisfied, but it didn't show in his tone of voice when he spoke, it was still low, magnetic, gorgeous and cold.

He Zexi nodded, thoughtfully, "Does that mean if you give everyone a bite, everyone can become amphibious?"

"What are you thinking! Don't think about using me to do those weird scientific research." Hearing He Zexi's words, Hua Zhi exploded instantly like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

He Zexi felt a little regretful, "Really? I can guarantee that we won't hurt you, we just need your help to bite a few people."

"It's useless." Huazhi looked at He Zexi as if he was looking at an ignorant bumpkin: "Not everyone can become like this after being bitten."

"Why can I?"

Huazhi moved her eyes and said seriously: "Because you can, you are unique."

He Zexi felt that he couldn't help getting goose bumps all over his body when he heard this kind of nasty words.

But He Zexi wasn't frustrated when Huazhi didn't agree, because he didn't expect Huazhi to agree to such an exorbitant request of contributing himself to research.

There is a famous effect in psychology called house demolition effect——

That is to say, a person wants to open a window on one wall of the house but is afraid that others will disagree, so he can first ask for the roof of the house to be removed, and then all people will come out to stop the reconciliation .At this time, you take another step back and say that you can only open one window to let in the air. At this time, other people will agree to your request to a large extent out of a compromise mentality.

He Zexi used this mentality a little bit, so when he asked Huazhi to help him leave, Huazhi hesitated a little, but finally agreed.

But after a while, Hua Zhi seemed to think of something, and said to He Zexi: "The weather is very bad these days, it is difficult for me to send you back safely, I hope you can wait a few more days, when the weather turns good."

He Zexi nodded as he remembered the huge storm that day.After all, he is asking for help now, even if he is in a hurry to go back, he has to consider whether others want it or not.

Before leaving the seabed, he can make the most of his time collecting some precious marine life and soft vertebrate remains.These things are usually difficult to get, and he just has this opportunity now-after all, he can survive at a depth of more than 6000 meters for a period of time.

You must know that human beings have relied on the help of deep-sea cameras for many years to obtain information about the super-abyss of the seabed, and they can only capture pictures, but now he not only sees the deep sea, but can even hear it and participate in it.

Simply magical and frightening.

He Zexi couldn't help but touched his neck again, to make sure that there was really no scar on his neck, and he couldn't feel the pain after being bitten.

Although he still looks like a normal person on the outside, He Zexi knows that his current body structure must have changed in some aspects. If there is an operating table now, He Zexi may not be able to help but take the initiative to put himself Push up and dedicate yourself to the cause of scientific research.

"Let's go, take you to my territory."

Hearing Huazhi's words, in the next second, He Zexi felt several powerful slender tentacles entwined around his waist, followed by a burst of strong pull.

He Zexi's whole body was rolled up, and then he walked quickly through the water.

It turned out that the super abyss under the sea just now was not the place where Huazhi survived and lived, he was just resting and staying there for a short time.After about half an hour's journey, what He Zexi saw was a "lost world" that he had never seen before.

This is the top of a submarine basin volcano, which is hidden in the depths of the ocean at least seven to eight thousand meters.

The age of this volcano seems to be quite old, but it still maintains a high level of activity. From time to time, it spews some high-temperature hydrothermal fluid and black plumes intermittently.Sporadic high-temperature hot-melt substances are absorbed by the sea water after being ejected, the light becomes dim, and finally cools and condenses around the volcano. In the process of cooling and condensing, the dark deep-sea world is embellished like a dream— — but also quite dangerous.

And in the crater at the top of this active volcano, thousands of white crabs cling secretly to it. Their abdomens have lush white hairs to cultivate the food they depend on for survival-bacteria.

Surrounding them are huge anemones with bright colors and beautiful barnacles.The long tentacles of these carnivores, which look like plant flowers, slowly sway in the sea water to hunt for food.

Its petal-like tentacles are covered with tiny stinging cells that release enough toxin to kill any small fish that accidentally swims past it-they are the laziest predators in the deep sea.

He Zexi noticed that almost all the marine biomes in the area where Huazhi lives are new species that have never been discovered by humans before.Whether it is a crab, an octopus or other echinoderms, they are much larger than ordinary ones.

Looking at the picture of He Zexi standing on the ground in harmony with the snow-white snow crab, Huazhi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

He stretched out his tentacles calmly and drove away all the white and fat snow crabs near He Zexi, and then moved to He Zexi's side as if nothing had happened.
