Seeing Mo Ai's appearance at this time, Wang Ya's distressed tears flowed out again.
She lifted the quilt on the other side.
Mo Ai's other arm was exposed.
But I saw exactly the same situation.
They are also covered with similar scales.
She did not continue to lift the quilt.
Expose more parts of Mo Ai's body.
Because Mr. Wang had already said before, only the arms and legs on Mo Ai's body had such scales.
But even so, it's still heartbreaking to watch.
The tears in Wang Ya's eyes flowed more and faster.
"How could this happen? Sister Ai, how could she become like this?"
Mr. Wang sighed at the side and said: "How exactly did Ah Ai and the others get sick and what is the cause? The five of them still know."
"Even Ah Ai and the others don't know how they got sick."
"The time they went fishing for pearls before they got sick was just like usual, nothing special happened."
"The strange thing is that the night they came back, they started to have a high fever until they passed out."
"At first, they would wake up occasionally after being comatose, but later, after the high fever subsided, they continued to be comatose and could not be awakened again. Until now."
"The one who was in coma for the longest time among them was even as long as twelve days!"
"It's already very strange to be in such a long-term coma, but there's something even stranger, those scales on their bodies."
"Compared to other patients, Aai's condition is relatively mild. She just has these scales on her arms and legs."
"And other pearl divers, almost three-quarters of their bodies have such scales."
"Only the area above the chest line is relatively normal."
"But the problem is that when they first got sick, they didn't have scales on their bodies. Later, they started to grow scales on their toes and fingers."
"At the beginning there were only one or two, and slowly, there were more and more scales, covering wider and wider areas, and finally it became what it is now."
"So, the scales on their bodies can grow."
"Now it may only cover three-quarters of the body at most, but in the future it may cover the whole body."
"As for what changes will happen after the scales cover the whole body, that is even more unpredictable."
"The most fearful thing is that it will endanger lives."
At this time, Ye Ming, while listening to Mr. Wang's story, had already opened his golden eyes and looked through the two women on the hospital bed.
It was found that the situation was just as Mr. Wang said.
Mo Ai's body currently only has scales on its limbs.
But the other girl had scales all over her waistline.
At this moment, Chao Qing added from the side: "Actually, these girls are not just in a long-term coma and covered with scales, their body structures are also changing."
As he spoke, he walked to the girl's hospital bed, slightly opened a corner of the quilt, and exposed one of the girl's hands.
He pointed directly at the girl's fingers and said, "Mr. Ye, look."
In fact, Ye Ming had already seen what Chao Qing was referring to, but he still walked over and looked at the girl's fingers.
But he saw a small piece of thin fleshy membrane growing between the girl's four fingers, connecting all the fingers.
It's like webbing.
"What is this?" Zhen Li asked in surprise.
Yun Lin and Cheng Lun were also shocked.
Chao Qing explained: "This may be webs! The membrane between the toes of some amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals is used to move water. For example, frogs, ducks, otters, etc... all have webs.
"
"Ah? Since this is something that only animals grow, how could it appear on humans?" Zhen Li asked in shock.
Chao Qing said: "The scales on their bodies are only found on animals, but don't they all appear on their bodies now?"
"This..." Zhen Li was immediately speechless.
Chao Qing looked at Zhen Li with a look that said you are still young, and then said to Ye Ming: "Mr. Ye, these girls not only have webbed hands, but also webbed toes. Of course.
, the patient named Mo Ai did not show such symptoms, which may be related to her relatively mild condition."
"But these webs are also capable of growth."
"At first, all the patients had no webs, but in a short period of time, they all grew up to what they are now."
"In the future, Mo Ai should also grow webs, and these webs may grow bigger and bigger."
"Also, subtle changes are taking place inside their bodies."
"Muscle tissue and internal organs have all undergone changes to a certain extent."
"The changes are relatively minor at the moment."
"But through these many phenomena on their bodies, I inferred a surprising fact."
"That's the physical condition of these girls, which is constantly changing in one direction."
"This direction is, fish man."
"What? Fishman?" everyone exclaimed.
Zhen Li asked again: "What is a fish-man? Is it like a mermaid? Do you mean that they will all become mermaids in the end?"
Chao Qing nodded and said seriously: "Yes! It will most likely be like this!"
"No! This is impossible! People are people, fish are fish, and mermaids are mermaids! These are three different races! How could a normal person suddenly become a mermaid? How could such a thing happen?
?" Zhen Li didn't believe there was such a thing at all.
At this time, Yun Lin said: "This kind of thing... is not impossible. For example, people and vampires are also different races, but people who are bitten by vampires will also become vampires."
He was thinking of his father Yun Lai.
Didn’t you almost become a vampire at the beginning?
certainly.
Wasn't his father bitten by a vampire?
It's because he was poisoned.
But this incident reminded him of the example of the vampires, and he couldn't help but speak out.
When these words were spoken, Chao Qing's eyes lit up.
He glanced at Yun Lin with admiration and said with a smile: "Master Yun is right. The current situation of these girls is actually similar to that of people who have been bitten by the vampires."
"This also made me wonder whether they are really just like humans turning into vampires. They are gradually turning into fish-men because they were bitten by something or for other reasons."
"Unfortunately, I came a step too late. By the time I realized this phenomenon, these girls were already unconscious, and I couldn't learn from them the specific experiences they had while fishing for pearls."
"And even now, when their bodies are examined, nothing can be found."
