Sea of ​​Doom

"Have you ever come into contact with a sea ape?" Xia Zhi didn't answer Zhou Zheng, but turned his head and asked.

Gao Chi shook his head, "Sea monkeys were divided into two factions a long time ago. One faction is the original and most primitive faction, and the other faction evolved from the ancient empire. There are not many conflicts between the two, but in There are differences in the current disaster, I have seen the new sea apes of the ancient empire, and what is happening now is not what they did. In fact, they have been doing their best to save the land ape."

"But it didn't work?"

"It's useless." Gao Chi replied, "I have been looking for the whereabouts of the sea apes in the early days, but even with the help of the new sea apes, I have never met them even once."

This is not a strange thing, the ocean is so big, but the ancient sea ape has always maintained around fifty, and it is difficult enough to find it on the vast continent, let alone the ocean that is twice as large as the continent?

"Then where are we going now?" Xia Zhi asked.

Gao Chi put the fish tail up and replied, "I'll take you to meet a new sea ape first. Does anyone know how to drive a submarine?"

Everyone looked at each other, and finally Mo Yu sat in the driver's seat.

Xia Zhi never thought that they would go up the road of meeting the sea monkeys in the end. He didn't know what he could do or what he could do after he went there.

The cabin was very quiet along the way, and with the addition of a tall pool, everyone felt a little uncomfortable, and with so many problems before them now, even Zhou Zheng stopped joking.

Xia Zhi was thinking all the way until Gao Chi bumped him with his elbow.

Xia Zhi looked up at her, "What?"

"What's the situation on land now?" Gao Chi asked, frowning slightly as he spoke, as if worried.

Xia Zhi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "If you want to know, it's not too difficult to go up and have a look, right?"

"It's difficult, you can't see much at sea level." Gao Chi had a bit of helplessness on his face.

Xia Zhi nodded, "Yes, anyway, the situation is very bad."

Xia Zhi didn't say how bad it was, but this is also conceivable. After a total of three months erupted, it was obvious how much disaster it would cause and how much it would hurt them.

Gao Chi touched his chin, nodded, and did not speak again.

They followed Gao Chi's instructions and drove for about an hour, and finally stopped at a place with complex underwater terrain.

"Here?" Xia Zhi looked out from inside the submarine and frowned, "Going in? What if we bump into this place?"

Gao Chi glanced at him, opened the groove, and jumped out.

"Hey, fuck me," Zhou Zheng took a deep breath, "It's...uncomfortable to open this thing in the sea."

"The structure of this thing is very special, it will be fine." Xia Zhi replied.

"Xia Zhi." Lu Cheng called him suddenly, Xia Zhi turned his head and looked outside, and saw Gao Chi circling in the water, swimming towards the depths of the intricate terrain.

"Actually, I don't know. Even if we see a sea ape, what can we do?" Zhou Zheng asked.

Xia Zhi glanced at him, thought for a while, and finally shook his head, he didn't know either.

"Then why are we coming down?" Zhou Zheng was a little discouraged. This sea ape was already powerful enough in Xia Zhi's mouth at the beginning, but after Gao Chi said it, it almost became a goddamn myth. Can they still handle it?What's more, Gao Chi has been wandering around here for more than 20 years and hasn't found the sea monkey. The five of them rely on only one submarine, will they really have such good luck?

"Because there is no other way." Xia Zhi sighed.

While talking, three figures swam in the sea, Xia Zhiyi, Gao Chi, a... strange-looking... I can't tell what, and a mini version?

That is the sea ape?

Xia Zhi opened his eyes wide, feeling a surge of excitement rushing straight to his forehead.

When he came up again, Gao Chi was holding a child in his arms, followed by a strange person who couldn't explain it.

After they came up, Xia Zhi had the opportunity to observe them carefully. Their facial features and human beings are quite similar, but their teeth are much sharper than human beings, their ears are abnormal, and their hands and feet are covered with black scales. The miniature version has a fishtail like Gao Chi, swinging it around, staring at Xia Zhi with big eyes, full of curiosity.

Xia Zhi squinted his eyes and scanned the adult New Sea Ape, and suddenly a picture popped up in his mind, isn't this the legendary merman?It is often mentioned in ancient books, the sharks of the South China Sea.It is said that it is a species with a fishtail body before adulthood, and can produce two different bodies according to gender after adulthood.

Afterwards, the sea ape's eyes turned among the five people, and it landed on Xia Zhi. After opening his voice, the extremely old voice startled all five people, "How many humans are left on the continent now?"

Xia Zhi paused, he was speaking Chinese?

"We have lived in the sea for a long time, and we have mastered all the languages ​​on the mainland today." The sea ape continued.

Xia Zhi, who had been seen through his thoughts, scratched his head and smiled, "It's less than a hundred million."

The sea ape paused for a moment, then shook his head, and shook the hands hanging beside his body, "Do evil, do evil."

The miniature version of the little sea ape looked up at him, babbled and stretched out his hand towards him, the sea ape touched his head, turned his head and said.

"My name is Lantis, and the ancient father named it after his homeland." Lantis looked at Xia Zhi, then thought for a while, and slowly stretched out his hand, "I heard that this is the way humans express friendship nowadays. "

Xia Zhi looked at the pair of hands that were too strange to be called hands, thought for a while, and stretched out, "I am Xia Zhi."

Landis narrowed his dark blue eyes, and responded, "Dr. Xia's son?"

Xia Zhi nodded.

"He's not in danger, Landis." Gao Chi said suddenly.

He didn't understand what Gao Chi meant, but Landis still stared at Xia Zhi for a long time before nodding.

"Basically, Dr. Gao has already told you. I am the No.13 generation of New Sea Ape, and this is my son." Landis pointed to the child beside him.

... Xia Zhi was a little dumbfounded, this is his son?When the voice first came out, he thought it was his great-great-great-grandfather.

"After joining the sea apes, the new sea apes have already integrated into the sea apes' breeding time, but they are faster than them," Landis said.

"How old are you?" Xia Zhi asked.

"430 years old this year."

"..."

"This age may be very strange for the current land apes, but in the ocean, it is a very normal age. The lifespan of the ancient apes was about 340 years old, and the highest lifespan of the new apes so far is [-] years. "

"...In other words, it's not surprising that you have a child at the age of 30." Xia Zhi smiled awkwardly, and looked back at the three people behind him, almost all of them looked shocked.

"How can we stop them from this matter?" Xia Zhi thought for a while before turning back to a serious topic.

"If you come earlier, there is almost no way," Landis replied, "but the situation is still a bit different now."

"why?"

"One hundred million has almost returned to the safe range by a lot. With this amount, the critical point cannot be reached in the short term."

"How many years?"

"In terms of sea apes, there is no problem in millions of years." Landis replied, and when he said this, his eyes flickered.

"What do you mean?" Xia Zhi keenly captured his emotional fluctuations and asked.

Gao Chi glanced at the two of them, and said for Landis, "In order to prevent this disaster from happening, they also lost many, many members back and forth."

As she spoke, she touched the head of the child in her arms.

Xia Zhi paused.

Landis raised his head and smiled at Xia Zhi, and replied, "It's you who came down, which is actually quite good. China's history and culture are very long, and it is one of the few that have survived until now. Sea apes have not fully witnessed it. I grew up. I remember that there should be records of us in ancient Chinese books."

"Merman." Xia Zhi replied.

Landis thought for a while, then nodded again, "Sea apes are very interested in China, because even we have very insufficient records of its things. I heard that in ancient China, the country was governed by □□, but specifically, We can only occasionally listen to what others say in the sea and then record it, so the information in this area is actually not complete.”

Xia Zhi paused, looked at him strangely, "What do you mean by this...?"

"What I mean is that the sea ape doesn't know much about the land ape, not to mention that such a thing as genocide shouldn't exist." Landis said, with a look of cruelty flashing across his face.

"...Wait?" Xia Zhi paused, "Genocide?"

Landis glanced at Xia Zhi, took a deep breath, "The reason for the sacrifice of our people mentioned by Dr. Gao before was indeed to prevent the disaster from happening, but it was only the first two or three."

"What do you mean?"

"After our initial attempts to protect the land apes, they slaughtered us," Landis said.

"Slaughter? Them?"

Landis gritted his teeth and replied, "They are the god-proclaimed faction among the ancient sea apes, there are three in total, and their main purpose is not only to protect the sea apes to reach the critical point, but also to destroy the land apes, without leaving any of them. "

"Destroy Lu Yuan?!" Xia Zhi took a deep breath, unable to believe it, "But didn't you just say that there is hope?"

Landis took a deep breath, "What they want to do is to kill all the land apes on the land, and then let...the sea apes can land. Now the poisonous things on the mainland are actually made by them."

"Then you said there is hope, what's going on?" Xia Zhi was a little anxious. Thinking about it this way, the one who wants to destroy Lu Yuan is not the so-called sea ape who protects his compatriots, but an ambitious sea ape?So many people from New Sea Ape were lost, so where did they get the chance?

"This matter, blocking is not something we can do. It needs other sea apes to do it. In many respects, we are not as good as the three of them. It is precisely because what they do is in the interests of protecting sea apes Inside, so the other sea apes basically turned a blind eye, but the number is not enough to pose a threat now, not to mention we have lost a lot..."

"So, it's quite possible that the other apes aren't standing by?"

Landis nodded, "What we have to do now is to find the three sea apes. The other ancient sea apes must have known about your arrival. It is impossible for us to find them in such a big ocean. Gao It has been more than 20 years since the doctor came, and there is no trace."

"You mean, let's go find those three sea apes now. In this way, other sea apes who may no longer stand idly by will most likely join in, thus... solving this plague?"

Xia Zhi said such an unreliable proposal in a daze.
