Having heard what Su Han said, everyone was initially stunned, then listened as Su Han continued, "It's probably not a living thing, but the vine is difficult to bring up. Find a couple of people who are good swimrs; the vine will protect them."
"I'm a good swimr, I'll go."
A dark-skinned man stood up, slim and just over fifty, with a simple and honest look.
He grinned, "Before I worked on construction sites, I used to dive in the sea in the south; I'm still pretty good. Maybe I should give it a try?"
Surprised, Su Han gave him a glance. It was interesting that he voluntarily stepped forward.
Sensing Su Han's surprise, Ji Jichun grinned, "Mr. Zhang and Captain Zhu said that the camp rewards contributions, and I too wanted to achieve sothing."
Su Han smiled and said, "Go ahead, the vine will protect you, don't worry."
"Boss, we, we'll go too."
Having said so, three more stood out – they were the old construction site workers brought in yesterday, and they had not made any contracts yet.
Su Han nodded for them all to go together. It was a good sign when people took initiative.
It proved that order was gradually being restored in his domain. Find more chapters on m_v l|e-
A few people took off their shirts, then grabbed a vine and plunged into the water.
The vine would pull them to where those things were located and, if sothing was off, would bring them back up imdiately.
Upon reaching the designated location, Ji Jichun and the others took a deep breath and then dove down; it took less than half a minute.
Ji Jichun soon surfaced and shouted to Su Han on the shore, "Boss, there's a nest here, full of eggs the size of heads, stuck to the pillars."
Su Han exchanged looks with Bai Qilan, then said, "Bring up two for now to take a look."
"Okay, hang on."
Vines cannot see, so they didn't know what these objects were and were reluctant to move them, but with Ji Jichun and others going down to help, it shouldn't be a big issue.
Ji Jichun and the others, in the water, maneuvered the vine around the gaps in the pillar without squeezing the Half-Fish Monster eggs; then with a yank, they broke the pillar.
The pillar, made of dirt and an unknown sticky substance, had a texture just slightly inferior to stone but could not withstand the force of the vine.
With the pillar broken, Ji Jichun and the others brought the object up, and Su Han and Bai Qilan finally saw the true appearance of the pillar.
The entire pillar was about twenty centiters wide and one ter long, presenting a grayish-green color, resembling a stalactite with very obvious traces of accumulation and concretion.
Embedded in the pillar were about four blue fish eggs, semi-transparent in appearance, clearly showing the floating Half-Fish Monster larvae inside.
The Half-Fish Monster larvae had no limbs, their eyes tightly shut, their bodies a pale blue color, only the hideous appearance of their heads clearly distinguishable.
"How many of these things are down there?"
"Seven or eight pillars, and probably around twenty to thirty Half-Fish Monster eggs."
After a brief consideration, Su Han then said, "Bring them all up."
Ji Jichun, receiving the order, imdiately returned to the water and, with practiced ease, worked with the vine to break the pillars and moved the Half-Fish Monster eggs up one by one.
It took a full half hour to clear things up, totaling twenty-six Half-Fish Monster eggs, all alive, the movents of the larvae inside palpable.
"The vitality is really strong."
Su Han couldn't help but remark, whether through Evolution or mutation, the vitality of these altered creatures was unimaginable compared to Earth's original species.
"Move them back; put the Half-Fish Monsters in cages and the eggs, along with the blue scale carps and red line grass carps, in the water pool at Villa No. 9."
Everyone went back together, and together they moved all the captured Half-Fish Monsters and Half-Fish Monster larvae back.
When they returned to Villa Shanhu, those who had stayed were shocked to see the dozens of Half-Fish Monsters brought back alive.
Clearing out the Half-Fish Monsters was understandable, but capturing them all ant sothing different – it signified that Su Han and his team's power was overwhelming.
"Su Han"
Yan iyu approached Su Han, her eyes widening in surprise as she glanced at the blue scale carp and red line grass carp packed in big iron barrels.
"Are these the monsters newly captured?"
"Yes, how are the preparations for the pool going?"
Yan iyu replied, "I was just about to discuss this with you. The pool is still being dug, but it's unlikely to be finished today, and the water won't be able to settle and could be turbid due to poor waterproofing and settling. However, Villa No. 8 has a swimming pool ready, and I've already stored water there. As for the people living there, they've been moved to Villa No. 7."
"A swimming pool? That works. Have them go with you and put the things there. Also, have Ji Jichun and the others Contract the Half-Fish Monsters."
Yan iyu was taken aback, but she quickly agreed, "I understand."
Not every villa in Shanhu Villa had a swimming pool; it depended on what the owners wanted, so Su Han hadn't thought of it for a mont.
There were 18 fish monsters and 46 half-fish monsters, all locked in cages, three fish monsters per cage, all placed on the open ground near building nine.
The cages were made by Su Han using tal control, specially reinforced, so even the fish monster leader couldn't break them.
Moreover, the human-faced tree had stationed back on this land, its roots spread underground, and any movent would be directly controlled by injecting poison with the man-eating vine.
It could be said that this cage was foolproof.
Su Han and Bai Qilan entered villa number nine, and for the sake of researching those monsters, Bai Qilan had already moved into villa number nine, albeit living on the first floor.
"I want to breed fish monsters, what do you think the possibility is?"
As soon as he entered, Su Han asked Bai Qilan.
Bai Qilan seed to have anticipated Su Han's question and thought for a mont before answering, "It's possible to breed them, as long as we know their breeding thods. Yunling Lake provides the food and environnt. All you have to do is isolate a part of Yunling Lake, confine it with cages, and keep them inside."
Although breeding fish monsters seed absurd, they could fully serve as one of the Angel Envoy's forces, and living fish monsters could continuously provide tissues for making injections, enhancing overall strength.
"However," Bai Qilan hesitated, saying, "whether it's making injections, breeding, or using them as food, we need a laboratory."
"Which laboratory in South City would be most suitable?"
"The laboratory at South City University is the most comprehensive, but there should be quite a few people there, and it's also far away. Alternatively, the Aoke Biological Research Center funded by the Bai Yujing Group in the newly developed area."
Su Han nodded and said, "I'll handle the laboratory in a couple of days, you first observe the fish monsters and the green-scaled carps."
"I understand, be careful with the lab side, there might be monsters in the biological lab."
Biological laboratories inevitably have various experintal creatures, and with the apocalypse upon us, no one knew what might happen.
However, the trip to the laboratory was already deed necessary; if not the Aoke Biological Research Center, then another place.
Of course, this action still needed planning; rushing out recklessly could be dangerous.
By noon, Zhu Xiong and the others began to bring things back one after another.
Though they all went with trucks, the materials they needed to haul were not few, especially the tal cubes that Su Han had specified.
Each weighed nearly half a ton, so not too many could be hauled in one trip; thus, they had brought these tals back first in the morning.
Once the tals arrived, Su Han, controlling a magic spider warrior, began processing these tals.
The blueprint provided by Ye Kailing was very clear; she obviously had received relevant training before.
The structure of the crossbow body, the bowstring, the winch, and more were all complete, even indicating how many tis the bowstrings should be replaced to ensure the crossbow's shooting speed and power.
tal strings were not like other bowstrings; they had greater elasticity and required more force to draw, so the strings would wear out faster.
However, she didn't know that Su Han, with his tal control, could enhance the tals and solve this problem.
Su Han crafted ten handheld crossbows entirely out of tal, then called over Zhu Xiong who had just returned from the transport.
"Old Zhu, have soone take the crossbows over and test their power; co back and tell how it goes."
"There's such a good thing?"
Zhu Xiong, seeing the handheld crossbow made entirely of tal, brightened up; such a thing would have been directly illegal before the apocalypse.
But for a man, that's just a speed bump, isn't it?
He picked one up, weighing it; it wasn't light, weighing over ten pounds.
But to a Contractor, that weight was not considered heavy.
"Leave it to , it's a good chance to test it while cleaning up the area."
Zhu Xiong hesitated then said, "However, Su Han, Sumrs Garden Mall might disappoint us; there's plenty of clothes and jewelry, but the edible food that hasn't gone bad is much less."
The camp now had about ninety people, needing at least over a hundred pounds of food daily, mostly staples.
The previously stockpiled food could have lasted two to three months, but now it definitely would not suffice.
And the newly planted crops wouldn't be ready to harvest any ti soon, precisely a gap period.
"First gather everything and co back, then we'll go out to look for more, especially since I need to make a trip these few days."
Zhu Xiong was sowhat surprised but imdiately nodded and said, "As long as you have a plan in mind, that's good."
