As soon as Village Chief Xiao Wu heard what Professor Liao said, he immediately couldn't stand it.
"I said you are so old and an intellectual, why are you still so superstitious?
What kind of siren? Those are all lies!
We uneducated fishermen all know that those things about Sirens and Sharks are all nonsense made by people in the past who did not understand science!
In our old age, there have been legends about the sharks. I heard that our island was also called Shark Pearl Island before.
It is said that the sharks from the sea swam to the shore, married people here, shed tears, and turned into pearls or something.
But this was all a legend in one lifetime, and no one in this era still believes this nonsense!"
"That's because you don't believe it!" Suddenly, an old and stubborn voice came from the corridor.
Chen Zhi turned his head and looked over there, and saw an old man with white hair walking over from another room.
The old man had a wrinkled face and a stubborn look on his face. He had strong muscles and dark skin. If it weren't for his white hair and wrinkles, one would have thought that he was the same age as the young men on the shore.
The old man didn't seem to have a very good temper. He snorted coldly at Xiao Wu:
"You little bastard, you know nothing!
There are sharks in the sea. I told you when you were a child, but you just don’t believe it. Then I might as well throw you into the sea and feed them to the sharks! Humph!"
"Oh, grandpa," Xiao Wu shouted with a face full of reluctance:
"You said you are over 90 years old, why are you still talking nonsense?
Maybe your grandson's village chief will be gone. Still talking nonsense here doesn't look like the qualities a village chief grandfather should have at all.
Okay, let’s talk about serious business!
Hurry up and have a drink with Old Man Wang next door!
Really, this guy is old and loves to mix things up!"
"Humph! You bastard village chief!" The old man didn't argue much. He muttered a few words and then went downstairs, still muttering,
"There are obviously sharks. I saw them when I was young, and I was the one who escaped with my life! You just don't believe it.
Humph! You don’t know anything, so you should just throw it into the sea and feed the fish..."
After the old man continued rambling, Xiao Wu turned his face, his eyebrows almost twisted into a knot.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. My grandfather is almost 100 years old. After a shipwreck in his youth, he always talked nonsense.
At that time, there were still some people who believed in him, and some sea nets were built to prevent sharks from landing, but in this day and age, who still believes in him!"
"Okay, let Professor Liao and I talk alone!" After Chen Zhi finished speaking, he gave Lao Somersault a wink.
Lao Jiandou found a reason and pulled Xiao Wu downstairs to chat.
Ding Ning was not interested in these things. It happened that little Qin Yueyang was also thirsty, so he took little Qin Yueyang to find some water.
Only Chen Zhi, the others, and Professor Liao's master and apprentice were left in the room.
Professor Liao trusted Yang Wumao very much and was not shy about it. After watching the others disappear, he said to Chen Zhi:
"Xiao Chen, you know me well, I really didn't lie.
There are definitely special creatures in the sea, but we can't find them or see them!
Those divers were all sent out by me. They are now between life and death. They cannot afford to waste a second. You have to go rescue them right away!"
"You're here again~~" At this time, Yang Wumao next to him really couldn't bear it anymore.
"Teacher, what's wrong with you?
Since the past few days, you have been saying that there are some special creatures here. I really doubt that you are possessed by evil spirits or something.
How old is this? If there really is a mermaid in this sea, would it be our turn to discover it? It would have been listed in the World Museum of Rare Animals long ago.
Those foreign diving experts must have encountered reef currents. How could they come out alive after being lost in the sea for two or three days?
There are no islands in that sea!
This is a bay area. With the development of science and technology today, is it possible that there are still islands that cannot be found?
Let me tell you, let’s do the follow-up work and let Mr. Chen settle the account for us! Don’t do anything else!”,
After Yang Wumao finished speaking, he looked at Chen Zhi with an aggrieved look:
"Mr. Chen, we have agreed in advance!
Although nothing was discovered this time, the account must be settled for us.
We all worked hard to get here, especially me, ahem~~, and I went to work even though I was sick. I feel that after this psychological stimulation, my disease will relapse again, ahem..."
While they were talking here, Fat Wei suddenly ran up and came up from downstairs.
It turned out that he took the men in black along another path, settled them down, and then came up to meet Chen Zhi.
Yang Wumao's complaints just now caught his attention.
"Hey, let me go~~, I haven't seen you for more than a month, you still care about money, right?" Fat Wei pulled Yang Wumao over and said across his neck,
"Come on, let's go to the side and chat. I haven't missed you for a long time. I'll talk to you about life..."
After Fat Wei finished speaking, he pulled Yang Wumao aside to talk about life. Guidao and Ji Ying also dispersed to observe the surrounding situation.
Only Professor Liao and Chen Zhi were left here. At this time, Chen Zhicai asked:
"Professor Liao, you have always been a cautious person. You should understand that even if you really discover something, you should not say it out loud here.
Once such remarks are spread, it will be very troublesome!
And why are you sure there are special creatures here?
Did you really see something?"
"I didn't see it, but I am sure..." Professor Liao was trembling with anxiety.
“And I know that after tonight, those diving experts really won’t be able to come back!
As for why I am so sure, I will tell you a secret now. This matter is an international secret and I have never mentioned it to anyone.
When I just graduated with my Ph.D., because of my outstanding performance, I was seconded to the United States for two years. During those two years, I participated in a top-secret project.
That project is to study the corpse of a sea monster..."
