It was rare for this glutton's first words to not be about food.
"Something's up? Tell me. "
There were no other bodyguards around Silin's sunshade pavilion, nor were there any monitoring devices. Perhaps they knew that those little tricks were useless against Silin, so they did not install any monitoring devices around Silin. At the same time, Silin knew that this was Castella's way of expressing goodwill.
Huimao stuffed his head into the cup on the tray beside him and drank some water. After 'pulling' his head out, he shook his head and licked his paws to wipe his face. Then, he slowly jumped onto Silin's shoulder and laid down.
"There's an area where the dissolved oxygen in the seawater isn't normal, and it's been decreasing at an increasing rate while I've been foraging for food. There's something in the sea that's absorbing the dissolved oxygen. "
The decreased dissolved oxygen was not in the lake, but in the sea. It wasn't in the coastal area, but in the distant sea, and it was a large-scale change!
There was no way the Feniers Family would not be aware of such a change, but there was still no movement. This meant that someone had tampered with it. The monitoring device's program or data set up in the sea had been tampered with, and the Feniers Family had not noticed this change. Only someone from the Feniers Family would be able to do this.
Huimao continued, "I've looked at those devices. The temperature, pressure, ion concentration, and so on are all normal. The only abnormality is the dissolved oxygen."
"If they changed too many items, the chances of being discovered would be higher. As long as they can fool the key items, they'll have achieved their goal."
Huimao clenched his paws and continued speaking mysteriously to Silin, "I went to the depths of the sea and found a few big guys. They're still sleeping, but it looks like they're about to wake up."
"Big guys …" Silin sighed softly. Anything that could be called a big guy by Huimao would never disappoint.
Somewhere in the manor, inside Kirk's private study, Castella and Kirk were sitting in front of a desk and having a conversation. Next to them was a light screen that displayed the location of the Binger Family's visitors. Every single location was monitored in detail, but up until now, the reports from their subordinates had left the duo dissatisfied.
"It's too quiet." Kirk frowned.
"Yeah, it doesn't seem like their style. They aren't people who can endure. They shouldn't have waited until now." Castella placed both of his hands on his knees, his fingers moving rhythmically. "In other words, they made a move, but we didn't notice it."
Kirk did not object to Castella's opinion. "That's why I feel uneasy. Why don't we call Tobo back to the manor? If something really happens and we can't react in time, Tobo will be in danger."
Originally, he thought that letting Tobo go out to play would cause some commotion, but he didn't expect that there would be no results until now.
"Alright then …"
As he spoke, Castella's communicator rang. This communicator would only be used by internal personnel in emergency situations.
Castella and Kirk's hearts skipped a beat. They exchanged glances. 'Could there be movement?!'
Connecting the call, the image of Steele appeared. Steele looked very anxious.
"What is it?" asked Castella.
"There's an important discovery!"
"Let's talk in the study."
After Steele entered the study, he handed the e-book to Castella. "This is what Silin showed me. He said that the other party has already made a move."
What was shown in Silin's e-book was a type of amphibious parasite. This type of parasite was a type of external fertilization. The female and male parasite would expel mature sex cells from their bodies. When the sperm and egg cells combined outside their bodies, a new life form would form and search for a nearby host. This kind of combination could happen in the air, on the ground, or even in the water …
In other words, if Emma and Rost each carried a type of this parasite's sex cells, and these two people had injected some kind of medicine to prevent the parasite from forming a new life form in their bodies, then the one who would suffer the most would be Tobo.
Being in close proximity for a long period of time was no doubt a great opportunity.
Of course, the parasite on Emma and Rost's bodies would definitely not be the one that Silin showed them. The living environment of this parasite in the e-book was different from the climate and air humidity here. The reason why Silin showed this to Steele was to remind them where they should think about it. Otherwise, it would be too late by the time they realized it.
Regarding parasite research, there was a period of peak fifty years ago, but it gradually cooled off after that. Nowadays, the most popular research was still on biochemical exotic beasts, viruses, and related medicines. Therefore, people nowadays wouldn't think about it from this angle. After all, it would be impossible to make good use of a parasite without a certain level of skill. However, Castella and Kirk did not expect the other party to possess such technology!
They had miscalculated.
While Castella and Kirk were reading the information in the e-book, Steele took out the bill written by Silin and told them about Silin's request.
"If it's just money, we'll give it to him if he wants it." Castella retracted his gaze from the e-book and said in a low voice.
"Yes." Steele paused for a moment and said in shame, "We lost track of the gray cat following Silin after it left the coastal waters."
Castella was not too surprised by this. After all, there was no way a pet that stayed by the side of a lieutenant commander would be ordinary. He waved his hands and said, "It's not your fault. You go out first and wait outside. "
"Alright." Steele bowed and left the study.
After Steele left, Castella inhaled deeply and let out a long sigh, "Kirk, do you know how the big thorn in Sector V, Poison Fang, was eliminated?"
Kirk shook his head, "I don't know." His main attention was still on Sector H, so he did not know much about the thirteen backwater Sectors. Therefore, he received the information relatively late.
"One of Poison Fang's strongholds, a hundred thousand people, was completely eliminated. The reason was parasites."
Kirk could not help but inhale when he heard this. He suddenly felt a little cold. Poison Fang's people were infamous, but they were actually completely eliminated by parasites.
"The ones who eliminated Poison Fang were Vanguard's people. Since this matter was handled by Vanguard's A Squadron, not many people know the truth."
It was common knowledge that information handled by the A Squadrons of the four great Hunter regiments would be seriously distorted, and the truth would be blurred. This was also the capability of the four great Hunter regiments.
"The one who eliminated Poison Fang was Vanguard Division Six, the squad Silin was in."
Kirk understood now. He had thought that Castella's attitude towards Silin was a little strange. So this was the reason.
"I know what to do now." Kirk said.
Castella nodded, "I have a feeling that the parasites are about to reach the peak of their era after fifty years."
Just as Kirk was about to give his subordinates an order, Castella's communicator rang. Looking at the display, Castella made a gesture to Kirk, and Kirk immediately put down the work in his hands.
Castella had given Silin his communicator number on this planet. If there was nothing important or if the situation was not urgent, Silin would not call Castella's number directly. Just like how he had sent the news through Steele just now, although the parasite would affect Tobo, it was not life-threatening for the time being. But now, since Silin had called Castella's number directly, it meant that the situation was serious. Castella had no choice but to treat it with caution.
The communication was connected, and Silin's image popped up.
"I have a message." But Silin did not continue to say what it was specifically.
"Name a price." This time, Castella did not need Silin to mention it.
