There was not much time to worry about the issue of "appropriate amount". After thinking to no avail, Feng Yi finally decided to leave this matter to his instincts.
For things related to survival skills that you have never experienced before, your instincts will be more reliable.
He had to complete the matter of enclosing the territory as soon as possible. Regardless of whether he could succeed in the end, he had to take action first.
His true form cannot be seen, and the longer he stays out, the greater the risk.
In this sea area, there are more than just fish and starfish under the surface.
Without further delay, Feng Yi took action.
Releasing a marker substance is actually a behavior that can be controlled by your thoughts. It sounds complicated, but in practice, it is simpler than spitting.
Of course, this also consumes energy, but fortunately he ate a lot of dinner. After marking this line, he would buy some midnight snacks when he returned to the dormitory.
Invisible and extremely tiny chemical substances, following Feng Yi's thoughts, penetrated the body and spread out in the water.
These substances were the same as those he used to test sparrows during the day. Although his ancestral DNA told Feng Yi that there would be slight differences in the marking substances when used in different situations, but now he could not figure out what the differences were.
In the future, if you use it more and become more proficient, you will naturally understand it.
Feng Yi doesn't have high requirements for today's matter. It's his first attempt to mark the territory. He doesn't seek perfection, just some effect.
If it doesn't work, just familiarize yourself with the original form and practice a few more skills.
After balancing the swimming speed and the amount of release per unit time, Feng Yi started marking the route according to the original plan.
Because starfish mainly use their tube feet to move slowly on the seabed, and Feng Yi's purpose tonight is also to target starfish, so he always swims close to the seabed.
On the seabed at night, ordinary people can hardly see anything without the help of tools, but for Feng Yi, light is not necessary.
Here, he "sees" things, not just through his eyes.
He can sense the surrounding aquatic animals and plants, and can sense the magnetic field of submarine cables. Those magnetic fields are almost as conspicuous as light in his "field of vision".
Along the way, Feng Yi paid attention to avoiding submarine cables. If his tail was accidentally severed, he didn't know what would happen.
In addition to these, there were also unmanned underwater vehicles, but Feng Yi noticed them in advance and avoided them.
That unmanned underwater vehicle Feng Yi knew was a scientific research unmanned undersea vehicle that was applied for use by the investigation team after the starfish outbreak. It was not for military use.
Data cannot be uploaded in real time, and its intelligence is limited. It will complete the task according to the original program and then go to the designated location before uploading the data.
By the time the investigation team got the data, Feng Yi had already gone back to his dormitory to sleep.
Bypass the unmanned underwater vehicle and continue marking the territory.
It weighs tons and is surprisingly flexible in the sea.
Feng Yi: [I have such a strong and agile figure~]
I haven't transformed into my original shape for many days. At this time, I just feel extremely relaxed and at ease, my muscles and bones are stretched, every cell is in a state of excitement, and my whole body is filled with energy.
Before, he went underwater to help with the investigation team, and he also swam far away by himself. The difference was that before, he was wearing a diving suit, panicking, and there were people staring at him.
There are no restrictions now. You can swim however you want, no matter if it's an S shape or some other shape, no one knows anyway.
After enjoying the vastness of the sea, how can you still appreciate a small swimming pool?
[When I save enough money...]
Feng Yi had his goals in life in mind, and he didn't neglect serious matters.
In this sea area close to Mo City, he drew an arc-shaped "shield".
I hope that the army of starfish in the distance will no longer gather here.
As for those within the arc, the fishing boats will be busy for a few days and they will be fine.
This is what Feng Yi expected.
The overall situation is not clear yet, but we will know tomorrow.
After marking, Feng Yi stayed at one place and observed it for a while. He felt that there was no big problem and everything was as expected.
Done!
The first long-term marking was still a bit stressful and I felt obviously tired.
Feng Yi went to where Xiao Jia was.
When he resumed his mimicry, Feng Yi felt a little uncomfortable.
Get on the boat, take the towel from Xiao A, dry the water stains, and change into clothes.
On the way back, Feng Yi saw scattered lights on the sea, all of which were people sailing out for night fishing.
Maybe they couldn't catch anything and were bored. Some were chatting and others were checking their mobile phones. Most of them sounded like foreigners.
Someone shouted: "It's very cool tonight, and it's colder than yesterday. Is the weather going to change? You can't even see the stars!"
"The weather forecast didn't say rain."
"The weather at sea can change at any time, so don't believe the weather forecast! If you wait another half an hour and you still can't catch anything, go back! I didn't take any photos of the starry sky, and there were no fish either. Who the hell said you could catch big fish at night? Believe it or not!
His evil! Ah sneeze"
When they found Feng Yi and their boat heading back, the man who had just sneezed shouted loudly: "You are going back now? Did you catch anything?"
This area is all used for night fishing, and I never thought that anyone would come here and get cold at night due to other things.
Xiao Jia replied: "I didn't catch anything. It's too cold. I don't want to continue to suffer the cold here. I'd better wait for the weather to get warmer before coming back."
Some people heard their words and hesitated whether to return.
Feng Yi picked his chin.
I always feel that it is very likely that I won’t catch anything tonight.
Let Xiao Jia give some more advice.
A few more people returned like Feng Yi and others, but some people stayed behind, convinced that they could catch a big fish tonight.
Feng Yi stopped trying to persuade him, and he seemed weird if he talked too much.
After returning to the dock and parking the boat, Feng Yi and Xiao Jia went to the night market to find food, and also went to the barbecue stalls to soak up the smell of barbecue.
It was already late at night. Feng Yi and the others entered from the south gate of the dormitory area and happened to meet Professor Li and others who were returning from a meeting and said hello.
Smelling the smell of barbecue on Feng Yi's body, Professor Li didn't ask any questions. As young people, it's normal for them to go out for a late-night dinner.
Feng Yi also learned from Professor Li that the big bosses had a meeting a little late today due to endless disputes over several issues, but it had nothing to do with his actions tonight.
"I'll go back first, Professor Li, and you guys should rest early," Feng Yi said.
Professor Li is different from Professor Ding.
Professor Ding usually talks a lot, but in such important big boss meetings, he is unwilling to say more. Some issues are too clear to understand, and he knows that talking about them will not be of much use. Instead, he feels sulky and simply talks about himself.
The task assigned to you is completed, and then you do your own thing. Look at it openly, say a few words to no avail, and then laugh and laugh.
Professor Li, on the other hand, usually talks less. Although he can see some things clearly, he is more direct and stubborn, and will ruthlessly lift the fig leaf of certain people or things.
As he went upstairs, Feng Yi looked back. The sadness on Professor Li's body became stronger, with heaviness and exhaustion.
Alas, I wonder if they can sleep well tonight. Feng Yi was in a complicated mood.
Professor Li didn't know what Feng Yi was thinking. After returning to the dormitory, Professor Li quickly washed up and sat at his desk to check the documents and record some key information for tomorrow's meeting.
At around two o'clock in the morning, Professor Li pinched his eyebrows, closed his notebook, and lay down on the bed.
Just as I closed my eyes, the phone rang.
After looking at the caller ID, Professor Li quickly picked up the call.
"What's going on...the submarine sent abnormal data? I'll be there right away!"
In the early morning, most people in the dormitory building were already asleep, and there were only two or three lights left. In less than a minute, with the ringtones of different melodies for incoming calls, more than a dozen houses were lit up one after another.
