Chapter 55
A Relieved Smile
Although in the eyes of viewers in other countries, the original Crocodile has already disappeared.
Because the original crocodile was too weak, they didn't pay much attention to it, but there were still some minor figures who did.
They enjoy watching waste materials and observing species extinctions.
When it was discovered that these crocodiles could avoid the three major natural disasters by lying in the swamp, some foreign viewers immediately posted comments on the screen.
Look at the crocodiles of the Dragon Kingdom! They seem to be doing quite well in the swamp!
[You know what, you really shouldn't believe it! Swamps usually have plenty of trees, which can insulate against some floods. Plus, the moist mud in the swamps can block most of the heat, and even volcanic ash can't get in. There's a reason why the Dragon Kingdom chose this location!]
[What are you waiting for? Quickly contact the civilization observers and have them relocate the observed species to the swamp!]
【Huh? Something feels off, but I can't quite put my finger on it...】
Forget about all that, hurry up and get in touch! If they go extinct, they'll all be dead!
Niche guys from various countries were extremely anxious and spammed the live chat with comments.
Some people posted screenshots of the original crocodile soaking in the swamp, some analyzed the terrain advantages of the swamp, and some even listed the benefits of the swamp in combating the three major natural disasters.
Other viewers, upon seeing this, thought it made sense!
Swamps have water, so they are not afraid of lava.
Swamps have mud, so they are not afraid of floods.
The swamp has trees, so it is not afraid of volcanic ash.
This place is practically Noah's Ark in a time of natural disaster and apocalypse!
Viewers from various countries quickly contacted their respective Blue Star Online research teams, asking them to use the tools to contact the civilization observers.
The research team initially didn't believe it, after all, the swamp environment was comparable to a natural cesspool.
But when they found the original crocodile's live stream, they discovered that the original crocodile was indeed soaking in the swamp, so comfortable that its eyes were squinted.
Then, when they turn on their own live stream to observe the species, they either flounder in floods, play dead in lava, or gasp for breath in volcanic ash.
The contrast is too stark.
With the help of research teams from various countries' Blue Star Online, observers from different civilizations finally realized that staying in swamps could prevent the intense heat from volcanic lava.
They quickly sent their observation species, which had almost nowhere else to go, to the nearest swamp area.
Jack was the first to act.
His Southern Cross dragon herd had been scattered by the flood, with only a few dozen remaining, clinging to floating tree trunks, half-dead.
He gave the command to the light screen, instructing the Southern Cross Dragons to run towards the swamp to the east. The Southern Cross Dragons jumped down from the tree trunks, waded through the floodwaters, and swam towards the swamp.
Kim Jong-tae also sent his canine-jawed beast into the swamp.
The canines were covered in burns, half of their fur was gone, and their skin was red and blistered.
Upon hearing the command, they swam frantically toward the swamp, their four legs paddling in the water, splashing water everywhere.
The Indian contestant led his crocodile into the swamp.
The crocodiles climbed ashore from the floodwaters and trudged heavily toward the nearest swamp.
When some of the observed species lay in the swamp, they immediately squinted their eyes in comfort.
The swamp water was cool, and soaking in it finally eased the pain in my scalded skin.
The mud in the swamp is soft; sinking into it feels like lying on a Simmons mattress.
The trees in the swamp were dense, shielding it from the volcanic ash, and the air was barely breathable.
Hey, you know what, it feels fucking good!
Sure enough, there are advantages to the "lying down" faction. Although they may lack strength, they can still find good spots!
Take this swamp, for example. Don't be fooled by how damp and wet it is; at this time of year, it's a lifesaver.
For a moment, many observers of civilization looked at the primal crocodiles lying in the swamp, their eyes filled with gratitude.
As the old saying goes, life will always find a way.
Even a piece of trash has its value, except for mosquitoes!
In return, I'll be the first to kill you all, you original crocodiles.
It's like dying early and being reborn early.
The issue of repaying kindness with enmity.
The idea that the crocodile would enter the swamp must have been instructed by the observers of the Dragon Kingdom's civilization.
Immediately, many civilization observers opened Wang Lin's live stream. Looking at Wang Lin, who was still lying on the sofa and seemed indifferent, these civilization observers suddenly let out a disdainful sneer.
"You found a great spot for your original crocodiles, and I took it! Aren't you angry? Aren't you angry?"
"Still standing there silently, pretending to be an expert? Once the natural disaster is over, I'll be the first to kill your Primal Crocodile!"
"What disgusts me most about the Chinese players is their indifferent expression; it's nauseating!"
"I really don't understand why he's not worried at all. Let's wait until the natural disaster is over, kill some of his original crocodiles, and see if he's still worried then."
Jack raised his middle finger at the image of Wang Lin on the screen.
Kim Jung-tae snorted coldly and shut down the Dragon Kingdom live stream.
The contestant from India went even further, hurling insults and then spitting at the screen.
When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.
When he saw that other observed species were running into the swamp, Wang Lin started a live stream for other civilization observers.
He slumped on the sofa, drinking cola as he watched, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Seeing this scene, Wang Lin, who was already on edge, finally couldn't help but smile with relief.
Although plagiarism is a common law of nature, many animals choose to copy the survival rules of other animals in order to survive.
For example, some butterflies mimic the eyes of snakes to scare away birds, some octopuses imitate the appearance of sea snakes to drive away predators, and some insects pretend to be leaves to avoid predators.
But the problem is that if you plagiarize, you have to be able to bear the consequences.
Hiding in a swamp is fine, but the problem is that it comes at a price.
Here's a question: why aren't there many small animals in the swamp?
The reason is naturally that there are too many bacteria in the swamp. The water in the swamp is comparable to the battle of the Gu King, with all kinds of viruses and bacteria.
The swamp water contains a mixture of rotting plants, animal carcasses, and various microorganisms, making the bacterial concentration hundreds of times higher than that of ordinary river water.
Any normal animal that dares to stay in a swamp will have a chance of contracting various viruses.
Moreover, most of the species being observed are still somewhat injured.
Bruises from being hit by floods, burns from being burned by lava, and skin abraded by volcanic ash.
Viruses and bacteria can enter their bodies through their wounds.
So even though they are still alive, they have actually been gone for a while.
Furthermore, there is basically no ecosystem in the swamp.
Hiding is fine, but to survive in this place, the food alone would be a nightmare for these observed species.
