After the crocodile’s previous attempt to kill them, the scientists were all scared out of their wits. If they wanted to observe the crocodile again, they would need someone to protect it.
The scholars naturally hoped that song qingxiao would accompany them.
Not only was song qingxiao’s quick reaction in the face of danger, but her powerful strength and rescue actions were also quite trustworthy.
Unfortunately, Mr. Zhou’s order to shoot had clearly offended song qingxiao, and the possibility of her accompanying him again was very low.
Mr. Zhou finally ordered Wolf one, Wolf two, and a worker to confirm the crocodile’s life and death. The worker was crying and unwilling to go over, but he had no choice but to approach under the pressure of the muzzle.
With his trembling voice, he confirmed that the crocodile was really dead this time, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Half an hour had passed by the time the scientists were done with their work.
The sky was already bright, and professor Yan and the others had a serious and excited expression.
“Mr. Zhou, all the crocodile corpses have been examined.”
Professor Yan sat next to Mr. Zhou and reported their findings.
we’ve extracted some of the substance in the pool. We’ve found a crocodile that hasn’t hatched from the broken eggshell.
Song qingxiao sat on the ground, trying to recover her strength while listening to professor Yan.
we’ve already collected them. We’re going to do the tests at the old Research Institute.
He pushed up his glasses, from what we know so far, the genetic mutation of these crocodiles is that their scales are thicker and their bodies are bigger. But from their number and the fact that there was only one hatched crocodile among the crushed eggs, their reproductive ability is low.
Since there was no human intervention on the island, and this area of water was the crocodile’s territory, it seemed that their small number was not due to the influence of their natural enemies, but one of the consequences of genetic changes.
of course, this is just a guess. The specific data still needs to be analyzed to be confirmed.
As he said this, he pointed at the giant crocodile that had pretended to be dead and tried to attack the human.
“But that’s not important. Mr. Zhou, that mutated crocodile is different from the other crocodiles.”
Professor Yan’s words stunned Mr. Zhou, and the others who were listening to him looked at each other.
A female voice suddenly asked,”
“What’s the Difference?”
This abrupt voice interrupted the conversation between professor Yan and Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou’s eyes instinctively showed displeasure, but when he found out that the person who spoke was song qingxiao, he quickly regained his calm.
“Can’t you tell if it’s bigger?”
Number six couldn’t help but sneer. He was still thinking about how he was humiliated by song qingxiao in public. Now that he had the opportunity, he couldn’t help but say something sarcastic.
Professor Yan frowned and ignored number six. Instead, he looked at song qingxiao and was happy to explain for the woman who had saved his life.
“Miss song, from the changes in its teeth, bones, body, and so on, I suspect that this crocodile has already shown signs of atavism.” He looked a little distressed, as if he was troubled about how to explain to song qingxiao, who was an outsider, in unprofessional terms.
“Do you know about the crocodile King? I suspect that in this crocodile’s genes, there are signs of atavism from the long-extinct crocodile Emperor, but it’s an existence that surpasses the crocodile Emperor.”
When he talked about his field of expertise, his eyes lit up. Several other scientists squatted beside him, also excited.
it’s seven meters long, and judging from its age, it still has room for growth. It already has a certain level of intelligence, which may be brought about by genetic changes.
He rambled on for a long time, but song qingxiao didn’t say anything. Professor Yan obviously knew that he was too excited, so he said a few more words. Song qingxiao might not be interested in what he said.
Thus, he quickly changed the topic. His expression changed and he said seriously,”
it’s not exactly atavism. I’m more willing to use ‘evolution’ to express it. He then added,”
“It’s already evolving, miss song!”
Professor Yan’s words were like a string of firecrackers in everyone’s hearts. Those who didn’t understand seemed to be right, but they could only vaguely feel that the situation was not good. Those who understood were all greatly shocked and could not calm down..
