I brought bad luck after awakening as a koi

Shen Li left quickly, Lin Qiming could only ask the Special Bureau to follow him to prevent him from having an accident, and then went to make up the application for him.

Director Tong was not in the director's office, only Professor Ban and Rong Yuqing handed over to the Special Bureau and the Communication Department. Professor Ban was a little surprised to see Lin Qiming coming.

"Is there something wrong?" Professor Ban put down the document, "Or is something wrong outside?"

"No, I'm here to help my brother make up the application for going to the F2 area." Lin Qiming handed the application form to Professor Ban with both hands, "Deputy bureau to sign?"

Professor Ban took the application form, "What is he going to do in the F2 area? It's messy outside now, it's so dangerous to run outside."

"Brother found something. So far there has been no attack or biological riot in F2 area. He wants to make sure there is something wrong there or there is a backup water source." Lin Qiming and Professor Ban explained, "I have already contacted the specific After the bureau has applied, someone will follow him.”

Professor Ban breathed a sigh of relief, she signed the application form, and opened her mouth when handing it back to Lin Qiming.

"Qiming, thank you."

Lin Qiming was stunned, "Huh? Thank you? Did I do anything good?"

"Thank you for always being by Shen Li's side. As his mother, I have been absent from his life, and I couldn't get along well with him when I grew up. I know that you have always been helping him deal with interpersonal relationships. This should have been my responsibility. work."

"Oh, this." Lin Qiming scratched his hair, "Fortunately, in fact, the brother is just not very good at talking, and he is easy to get along with."

"...It's just that he has a weird personality." Lin Qiming lowered his voice slightly.

He can't understand jokes, believes what others say, is too confident and doesn't like to explain to others, so he can only follow behind Shen Li to help him explain, but it has improved his knowledge and familiarity with knowledge by several percentage points , can hardly laugh or cry.

Professor Ban nodded, and she spoke after a while, "Qi Ming, what do you think of Shen Li?"

"What kind of person?" Lin Qiming was a little surprised, "Brother has always been a good person."

Professor Ban nodded, "Then does he sometimes seem like a different person?"

"No, senior brother still suffers from sleepwalking?" Lin Qiming was even more surprised, "Deputy bureau, senior brother has a physical problem?"

"It's okay, you don't have to worry, Shen Li will come back safely." Professor Ban changed the subject, "You go back to work first, and when this matter is over, I will give you a holiday."

Although the topic was changed abruptly, judging by her expression, she didn't want to continue the conversation, and Lin Qiming didn't intend to get to the bottom of it. He was a normal person, and he knew that normal people had some secrets, including Shen Li. Since it was a secret, he didn't want others to hear it.

He would not bother to inquire.

"Oh, thank you Deputy Director." Lin Qiming turned and left with the signed application form.

Leaving the office, Lin Qiming looked at the application form in his hand while thinking about what Professor Ban said.

Even if you are not prepared to get to the bottom of it, the doubts will still be doubts.

"Why do you ask me about my brother's personality? Isn't she his mother?"

"really weird."

……

Area F: The river has lush plants and a lot of creatures. Most of the surrounding creatures are attached to the water source. Living here is quite dangerous, so there are generally no people living here. Shen Li greeted the observation point and went in directly. The people at the observation point were stunned. It took a while to go after him.

The river is a very important ecological resource. It breeds countless kinds of small organisms, including freshwater fish, but also because of this, there are quite a lot of mosquitoes beside the river, almost every kind of which can make passing humans itchy for several days.

Shen Li was wearing long-sleeved trousers, trying not to expose his skin, and stepped into the grass like this.

Because the F2 area is undeveloped, there is not even a decent road here.

As he walked, he observed the habits of the surrounding creatures, and finally confirmed that the creatures here were quite peaceful.

Plants do not dry up after lack of water, and small insects lie peacefully on the leaves. Occasionally, some small animals can be seen moving, and the creatures outside are so thirsty that they attack humans looking for water. It is a completely different world.

Shen Li found an open space, and he began to test the moisture in the air and the ground with the tools he carried with him. The measured data was the same as Shen Li thought. The environment here was almost the same as before the drought, and there was no shortage of water at all, so the plants remained the same. looks good.

However, in the map provided in the F2 area, the original location of the river has indeed dried up. When Shen Li looked around, he could see the dry and cracked bottom of the river and the dried fish. Because they had been dead for three days and the temperature was too high, they gave off a foul smell. , with faint signs of decay.

Drought and high temperature can inhibit the activity of microorganisms to a certain extent, making the work efficiency of microorganisms lower, but it seems that the microorganisms here are still very active.

"I should take it back for testing." Shen Li murmured, he was wearing a mask to observe the river fish on the ground, "I can't go back like this, by the way, let the people from the Special Bureau..."

Shen Li turned his head to look back, and he tilted his head after a while, "Where's the person?"

He remembered that there seemed to be people from the Special Bureau following him.

"never mind."

First look for possible water sources, and if you can’t find them, go back and collect samples for testing. In his judgment, the creatures here don’t look like they have been without water for more than three days. Even if there is no surface water, there is groundwater. Come to support.

After getting up and going to the river bank, Shen Li finally took an overall picture of the dry river.

Just after filming, Shen Li heard a restless voice.

He turned his head and looked aside strangely. At the end of the grass, Shen Li saw a familiar person running, and behind him was a bunch of angry rabbits.

"Cao Yutian?" Shen Li took two steps back.

It seemed that he saw Shen Li, and he obviously showed an expression of 'difficulty', and quickly changed direction and ran towards Shen Li. The rabbits whose teeth were longer than human fingers didn't care whether Shen Li was innocent or not, they just He bit Cao Yutian fiercely, and regarded Shen Li as his accomplice.

Even Shen Li couldn't help but swear in his heart.

He turned around and ran. He still had the map of the F2 area in his memory. Not far from the river, there was a ruins of a human riverside community ten years ago. It was abandoned after the heavy fog, but it was more than enough to hide from these rabbits.

Shen Li broke into the dusty neighborhood that hadn't been entered in ten years, and didn't even intend to keep the door open for Cao Yutian. Unfortunately, Cao Yutian jumped in from the window by virtue of his human height advantage. It looks a little more embarrassed.

The rabbit slammed into the door angrily, and when it couldn't be opened, it cursed and screamed, and finally scattered in twos and threes.

"Finally saved." Before Shen Li could ask him what was going on, the man stretched happily, and then took out a hideous-looking carrot from his pocket, "I just pulled out a carrot, and Chase me like an enemy."

Shen Li: ...

How on earth did this guy survive five years after leaving the Scientific Research Bureau?

"Why are you here?" Shen Li interrupted his belittlement of rabbits and carrots, this guy hated carrots ten years ago, no matter how you look at it, he didn't steal carrots because he wanted to eat them.

"Of course I came to look for you. We are friends. If you are in trouble, you should share the blessings. You see, this is a gift from me." Cao Yutian stuffed the carrot into Shen Li's hand, "Now you can get me out of the black hole." Is it released on the list? But it doesn't matter if you don't let it go, I can track your location."

Shen Li stared at the carrot in his hand...

He also hates eating carrots.

"Are you coming with me?" Shen Li looked at him, "Why did you come with me before asking why you were able to find out my location?"

"Because you can find the location." Cao Yutian's tone was even a little smug, "You are in the Scientific Research Bureau and have a very high right to obtain information. Easy, as long as I tell you there will be safeguards in times of drought, you will find them."

Shen Li looked at him speechlessly, "So you just told me on purpose, and then asked me to find the location?"

"Of course, so aren't we the best partners?" Cao Yutian looked outside, as if to see if the ferocious rabbit had left, "I can get special information outside, and you can get a lot of information inside the Scientific Research Bureau. When the information is complete, that is the whole truth.”

Shen Li didn't pay attention to him anymore, let alone the cooperation he said casually. He first tested the signal here, and after confirming that he couldn't communicate with the outside world, he went upstairs.

Area F is mostly small creatures, and there are no large beasts that can destroy human buildings, so the buildings here are well preserved, and even the traces of human life can be seen after opening the door. All kinds of furniture are left in place. Shen Li went to the second floor , pushed open a door at random, and after the door opened, he slowly closed it again.

Behind the door are piles of colorful snakes.

That's right... There are quite a lot of creatures along the river, including snakes.

Cao Yutian followed behind him, watched him close the door and let out a snort, his smile was completely undisguised.

Shen Li ignored him and continued to walk up. In ten years, this building belonging to humans has long been inhabited by various creatures. Fortunately, most of these creatures are not vicious. No objection, didn't even bother to look at them.

Finally, Shen Li finally found a room without many creatures.

He took off his backpack, and immediately began to record the ecology here. He also drew a distribution map of the community, and wrote down the locations of the living things one by one.

Cao Yutian squatted beside him, "Are you planning to stay here?"

"It's already five o'clock in the afternoon, and it will be dark after a while. It's too dangerous to explore strange places at night." Shen Li replied.

Cao Yutian clicked his tongue twice, "Are you still afraid of the dark? Aren't you Little Sun?"

"Stimulate nocturnal creatures with sunlight in the dark, are you afraid that I will live too long?"

"Although I didn't mean that, but it seems that you will be angry if you say this, so take it as what I mean."

Shen Li didn't bother to talk to him.

He has always been very serious about his research, and he always recorded all kinds of things ten years ago. Therefore, although he was very unlucky and encountered heavy rains when he went out, his colleagues were willing to go out with him. No one can criticize his research attitude.

Cao Yutian stared at Shen Li, and after a while he said, "Five years ago, I thought about what would happen if I killed you."

The words were astonishing, Shen Li shook his hand and wrote a wrong word.

He crossed out the wrong word and added the correct word, "I was still sleeping five years ago."

"Yes, I have thought about many ways to kill people, and I also thought about injecting some undetectable poison into your glucose." Cao Yutian suddenly became excited, "At that time, I will visit you every few days. You are the only one in the world who is still asleep, and everyone says that you are not awakened by the fog at all, but an accidental vegetative state."

"Anyway, the life and death of a vegetative person is not a big deal."

"Oh." Shen Li responded, "Then why didn't you do anything?"

Cao Yutian sighed, "It's too boring."

"If you die, I have no friends."

"You're still more interesting alive."

He looked out of the window, it was dark in summer, and there was still sunshine outside. The floor they were on was very high, and he could only see the blue sky when he looked out. The sky was cloudless, and the scorching sun was shining on the ground. , No matter how you look at it, you are panicked.

Shen Li didn't answer this sentence, and it didn't mean that he was funny by default, but he didn't know which of his words were true and which was false, it would be better not to believe all of them.

But he did understand why Cao Yutian planned to expose him to the juice of the fluorescent grass.

Maybe he didn't know that the fluorescent grass is the only creature that doesn't affect human genes, and his purpose from the beginning was malicious.

He dared to experiment with people, so why not?

"Why do you need to know where the safeguards are?" Shen Li asked this question after finishing writing the details. "According to what you said, you shouldn't care about this drought at all."

Cao Yutian looked at Shen Li and said after a while, "Because many people will die."

"Ok?"

"Yes, many people will die." Cao Yutian and Shen Li looked at each other, "Even if we find this safeguard, it can ensure that there is no shortage of water in the F2 area, and it can make the creatures here survive the drought moistly. Get water for a while."

"But the water source is very limited, it can only supply this F2 area, and the number of human beings cannot be crammed into an F2 area."

"When the water here runs out, human beings will die or die. Only those whose awakening direction is drought-tolerant creatures can survive in large numbers."

"I'm looking for a way to end this drought."

Shen Li felt that Cao Yutian was really contradictory.

He himself is a very straight person, he believes in what is what, and his principles and direction are also very firm, so he is really simple.

But Cao Yutian can't, he is too complicated.

He will find a way to end the drought in order to save people who may die due to drought, but he can conduct human experiments casually, drive away ants and cause the entire expedition team to be attacked and wiped out by ants, but he still remembers to plant snakes where ordinary people live The vine keeps the ants from getting past.

It seems that the value of life is erratic in his heart, without any standard of judgment.

"You have the means to end the drought?"

"No." Cao Yutian answered confidently, "So I'm just looking for it."

"Do you like humans or hate humans?" Shen Li looked at him strangely, "I think you can survive even if there is a three-month drought, and you can even grab carrots with rabbits."

Cao Yutian smiled and said, "I have a deep love for human beings."

Shen Li didn't see it, but only felt that this person had mental problems.

It was getting later and later. After sorting out the data, Shen Li began to try to contact the Scientific Research Bureau. Not to mention that he could not contact the Scientific Research Bureau, or even contact the observation point in F2 area. Normally, even if the equipment is not After laying it down, the observation point will still set up an information emission point inside, which is conducive to their management.

"I can't get in touch. When I came, I saw that group of ferocious rabbits running away from your observation point. It seems that someone accidentally pulled out their carrots."

Cao Yutian said casually, "By the way, those rabbits have sharp teeth, and the information transmitters around their nests have been gnawed off."

"...Why didn't you say it before?"

"Why did you say that? You didn't ask me?"

"Is it fun to watch me try so many times?"

"It was really fun."

Shen Li put the communicator back, the room was getting darker and darker, Shen Li only prepared a flashlight, the light of the flashlight is not very bright, it can only illuminate a small place, so that they can see the surrounding environment clearly. Does not irritate nocturnal creatures.

At this moment, a firefly lit up in front of his eyes, Shen Li raised his head, his eyes followed the firefly forward.

"Oh, there are fireflies." Cao Yutian pointed at the fireflies, "Ten years ago you told me that fireflies have gradually disappeared from the planet, and you can hardly see fireflies at night, only artificial light. Now you see, humans dare not use electric lights. At that time, the fireflies came back."

"Wow, nature is amazing." Even though he said this, Cao Yutian's tone was tinged with yin and yang.

Shen Li looked at the fireflies, the fireflies were not afraid of people, they just floated around Shen Li, Shen Li went to the window and opened it, a breeze blew in, the fireflies seemed to feel the wind, and flew out of the window erratically.

The sky outside was getting darker and darker, and the traces of the moon became more and more obvious. Shen Li looked out of the window, and at this moment he raised his eyebrows slightly.

"what is that?"

"Huh? What? Let me see." Cao Yutian rushed over to Shen Li's side.

Shen Li ignored him, because his eyes kept staring into the distance.

This is an abandoned residential building. They are on a high floor. When they came up, Shen Li had seen the floor number, the 18th floor, so their current position is really high, so high that they can see very far and clearly.

At the end of the dry river, the water jets out from the crevices of the rocks to form a small waterfall. Countless fireflies surround the river, and the fluorescence is faintly visible in the darkness, making the river seem to glow.

Lowering their heads, some small animals seemed to have a premonition that the water was coming, and they all left the human ruins and headed for the water source.

"I found it here." Cao Yutian looked at the piece of water, "Xiao Li, my biologist, can you explain why this water only appears at night?"

"How do I know, biologists are not geographers." Shen Li picked up the backpack on the ground, "Go, go and have a look."

Cao Yutian clicked his tongue, "Aren't you afraid of living too long?"

"To go or not to go?"

"Let's go." Cao Yutian looked like he was looking after a bear child, "I can't help it, since Xiao Li invited me so sincerely, then I..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Li grabbed Cao Yutian by his sleeve and dragged him downstairs.

"Don't pull my sleeves, this is my last dress without holes, be nice to it!"

"You want to kill me and want me to treat your clothes better?"

"It's me who wants to kill you, not my clothes."

"...You really have the nerve to say that."
