1280. Subsea cleaning (3/8)
After pulling the snails back to the fishing ground, it was getting late, so Qin Shiou decided to go back to sleep.
He walked on the beach, and behind him were Bear Big, Tiger, Leopard, Simba, King, and Little Radish head playing and making a quarrel, feeling kind.
After settled the little guy, Qin Shiou kissed one by one. After returning to the bedroom, he took out a file and filed some bone meal from the black-covered giant insect's shell to feed Dabai, so that he could finally go to bed.
During dinner in the morning, Auerbach read the newspaper and handed it to Winnie, saying, "How come the news spread so quickly?"
Qin Shiou went up and followed and saw that this was a "St. Johns Morning News". In the tourism section, he reported the news that poisonous shells were found to hurt people when saying goodbye to the island. Next to it was a picture of the coded snails, titled "How did the Tropical Killers Appear, How did they come from?"
Winnie frowned and said, "Damn it, this shouldn't be. The news was blocked very well at that time. How did these media know about it?"
Shirley echoed: "Yes, our teachers and classmates are all guessing what's going on. The school just notified us not to get close to the beach. Many people said that sea monsters, ghost ships and so on appeared, and no one would have thought of any poisonous shells."
The human beings are old, the horses are old, and the rabbits are old and the eagles are hard to get. From this news, Auerbach analyzed it: "There are some famous behind these poisonous shells. Be careful, Winnie, someone may be dealing with us."
Qin Shiou patted the two of them on the shoulders and said, "Let's check this slowly, leave the poisonous beetles to me, I will definitely be able to give an explanation today."
As he said that, he winked at Winnie: "Don't forget what your man relies on for food? Isn't it easy to find a poisonous shell in diving?"
After breakfast, he took all the fishermen who could dive to the town pier. Shaq shouted in the radio channel, and many people came with diving equipment.
When they learned that they were diving and looking for poisonous shells, Tang Ji Patton, who was in charge of the fossil salvage work in Chenbao Lake, also sent some divers to help. These people were diving experts hired by the National Fossil Museum Research Institute. It would be better to have their help.
When Qin Shiou arrived at the pier, many people gathered on the beach to watch the fun. He knew most of the townspeople. Those who didn't know each other were familiar with each other, so he greeted him all the way.
But when he walked to the beach, he saw a small group of people a little farther away. Their skin was pale brown, black hair and black eyes, high nose bridge and narrow face. It was completely different from the white indigenous people who bid farewell to the island.
Seeing these people, Qin Shiou became alert, then pulled Hughes over and asked, "What kind of guys are those people? Why haven't I seen them before?"
Hughes glanced at him and said, "The Mexicans have not been here for a long time and said they were here to set up stalls to sell some Mexican specialties. What's wrong?"
Qin Shiou shook his head and said that he just felt his eyes were full of thoughts. He said goodbye to the island this time that he was obviously framed. It is very likely that these Mexicans did it.
Winnie and Hani brought people to him, and Sanders also came. He was temporarily hired as a technical consultant for Dubai search and provided safety guidance.
The old professor has real materials. He said: "Dr. Odom and I had met with him. He separated the wound tissue of the injured tourists yesterday. He extracted the residual tooth and tongue components. After I analyzed it, I thought that the coded snails exist in the sea."
"Under normal circumstances, when hunting, the coded snails will lie in the sand and expose their noses. This will not only obtain oxygen, but also monitor the movements of prey."
"So it may be difficult to search. You must be patient and vigilant. The teeth and tongue of the coded snail can grow to one centimeter long and are very sharp. You must not expose your skin to them."
"But you don't have to worry too much. Among all kinds of chicken heart snails, chicken heart snails that use fish as their natural food are the most poisonous, followed by molluscs, and seaworms as their food will not kill humans."
"The coded snails feed on molluscs and are not very toxic. After you search for this kind of chicken heart snail, you should pay attention. If their shell mouth is narrow, the toxicity is relatively low. The wider the shell mouth, the stronger the toxicity, and you must be careful."
After Sanders popularized the basic common sense, Qin Shiou asked in his heart: "Professor, do you say they are hidden in the sand? But I remember asking the tourist yesterday that he said that the snail he saw was on the surface of the seabed. What's going on?"
"It's very simple. If this is the case, either the snails are ready to mate and lay eggs, or they are just here not long ago," Sanders said.
After hearing this, Qin Shiou confirmed his guess that saying goodbye to the island was designed.
When the sun rose and the water temperature was higher, Qin Shiou took the fishermen and divers into the water. They also conducted a check and started from the location where the tourists were injured.
Qin Shiou placed the fourteen coded snails around last night, so it was not difficult to search. Nearly thirty people dived into the water, and after searching for it, good news came out soon.
Qin Shiou did not go to the location of the Chicken Heart Snail. He wandered around the seabed to watch the underwater environment.
Because the surrounding fishery has abundant catch resources, there are also many fish in the town’s public fishery, but the growth of seaweed is relatively bad. Sea fish are just passing by here and they will not stay for a long time.
In this way, the seabed of the public fishing ground is much cleaner, with pieces of gravel and delicate sand below. Qin Shiou reached out to dig a handful of it, and the fine sand flowed with the sea water, which was very beautiful.
After staying under the water for more than half an hour, Qin Shiou came up to breathe and relieve pressure. When he saw Shaq, Bull and others sitting on the boat, he was joking loudly. Seeing their arrogant look, he knew that they had discovered the code snail.
Less than ten minutes after Qin Shiou floated out of the water, someone came up again and raised his net bag excitedly and shouted: "Look, guys, what have I found? Six password taro snails!"
Shaq smiled and said, "We found eight!"
Qin Shiou frowned and said, "How come there are so many?"
When he said this, Shaq also frowned: "When we found that these eight chicken heart snails were all on the sand layer and did not lurk, and the location was too concentrated. I think they were being looked at here."
The diver holding a net bag in his hand nodded and said, "Same, man, I found them the same way. They were not hidden in the sand at all, and they were hunting like this."
Others floated out one after another, and naturally they did not find the chicken heart snails. Both batches of chicken heart snails have already come out.
Shaq and the diver went ashore and handed the chicken heart snail to Sanders. Qin Shiou continued to search. He knew there was nothing, but others didn't know. To be safe, they had to search at least within 200 meters near the sea.
Of course, nothing was found later. (To be continued)
