Ah Shen's sudden silence immediately made Gao Yi on the other end of the communication nervous. At this time, he didn't care about the three people who were talking about blackmail, opened the door and rushed out.
"Mr. Gao, a huge swarm of crabs suddenly appeared on the coastline! They are heading inland!"
"Crab swarm?"
While running, Gao Yi murmured to himself.
As far as he knew, the most famous crab that landed in large numbers like this was the red Christmas crab.
This kind of crab is affected by the lunar tides and the water required for hatching, so it often comes ashore in large numbers in the weeks before and after the Ice and Snow Festival, causing a significant impact on some nearby transportation equipment and the environment and ecology.
It's just that the habits of red Christmas crabs have evolved over time, but tonight's is not the case. In the history of Homecoming Port, there has never been a large-scale landing of any species of sea crabs.
What kind of mystery lies beneath this surface?
Under the moonlight, waves roared, and countless shadows undulated and moved forward, "eating" the entire beach into mottled patches.
At this time, Ah Shen ran up the steps, where there were already many people stopping to watch.
Most of them were tourists who were camping or walking on the beach. When they saw the crabs appearing, they hurried to higher ground to take shelter.
"Look, there are people there!"
The voice of a tourist came, and Ah Shen realized that on the beach in the distance, there was actually a person who was not afraid of death, holding a basin and running towards the crabs without looking back.
As he ran, he screamed excitedly, as if he was complacent about catching up with this blessing from heaven.
"What a great luck! I met so many crabs! I have to catch more and go back... Oops!"
The hand that the man just stretched out was caught by a crab, and he immediately retracted it as if he was electrocuted, dancing around in pain.
After this movement, there were a lot of cracking sounds of broken carapace. Many crab carcasses were stained with sand and stuck into a pile, and began to emit an inexplicable fishy odor.
"Ouch!"
The screams were far from stopping.
Because at this time they seemed to feel the pheromones emitted when their companions died, other crabs showed their desire to attack the giant creature in front of them.
They climbed up from the soles of their feet, using the ends of their feet as fulcrums, and used their two pincers to tightly clamp the cotton clothing, refusing to let go no matter how the person shook his body.
In less than a few minutes, the man was surrounded by a dense swarm of crabs.
"Ah! Let go! Let go!"
On the soles of his feet, on his trouser legs...
There are also crabs everywhere on my clothes and arms.
"Help!"
Seeing that someone was in danger, many tourists standing on the high ground were suddenly blinded. They hurried down the steps, but when they saw the advancing shadow in front of them, they could not help but retreat to the high place.
"No, you can't run fast with slippers on!"
“Do you have any sneakers?!”
"I have water shoes! Let me do it!"
In the end, a fisherman came forward and rushed down the steps without saying a word, stepping on the broken crab carcasses along the way and rushed to the side of a suffering tourist.
"Follow me!"
He knocked the crabs off the opponent's body and led him back to the steps along the previously cleared path. He didn't even bother to hear a thank you, and plunged into the crabs again without stopping.
This time the crab was also full of hostility towards him and kept trying to attack him by climbing on the water shoes. However, the old man was so strong that he easily shook off the crab on his feet.
Then, he rescued the second and third person...
Until the end, even though he was panting and could hardly stand, he still looked in one direction.
There is one last person there!
That person was closest to the coastline and one of the first to suffer.
At this time, his whole body has been occupied by crabs, and he can hardly recognize a complete human form!
"Brother, give me your shoes! You have run so many times, it will be too dangerous to go again."
Someone hurriedly spoke to this old man, and the latter was unequivocal and quickly took off a water shoe. However, before handing it out, he suddenly felt a strong wind coming from his side, and a short black shadow.
He actually rushed over without any warning.
"Kid! Come back quickly!"
Someone yelled from above, trying to stop this reckless kid.
But what I didn't expect was that this figure was completely at ease among the crabs. In less than a moment, he had already carried an unconscious tourist back to the steps, grabbed the rebellious crab from his body, and made a "puff" sound.
At this moment, a bell rang from the bicycle lane, and a shared bicycle came straight toward him like an arrow. Gao Yi braked and swung the front of the bicycle to one side. He jumped off the bicycle in one step, and in a few steps he was gone.
Came to the guardrail.
"really……"
He looked at the crabs that had spread almost across the entire beach and couldn't help but murmur to himself: "What a nightmare sight..."
The accumulated crab carcasses were eaten clean by the swarming compatriots, and the sand was brought back to bury the shriveled carapace. After cleaning up the battlefield, the crabs once again joined the journey to unknown destinations.
.
Fortunately, they seem to be unable to climb these extremely steep steps, and can only spread along the beach to surrounding areas of equal terrain.
"I called the hospital in town and they said they would be there soon."
Someone looked over and focused on the unconscious tourists, with worries in their eyes.
The clothes on these people were all damaged invariably. Through the thin fabric of the short sleeves, you could see the blood oozing out from inside, as well as the hideous wounds caused by countless pincers.
"The behavior of these creatures is too weird..."
Gao Yi looked at the beach under the guardrail and frowned: "First there were seabirds that suddenly died inexplicably, then there were a large number of fish that died, and now there are crabs that suddenly came ashore. So what's next?"
What will happen next?
"Don't worry too much, everyone..."
A voice of condolences came from the side: "This should be just a normal activity of crabs in Dongbin Bay this season."
"It is estimated that the local prevention and control personnel will come over early tomorrow morning to maintain order. Maybe they don't need to come over. There are so many crabs, and the seabirds will have almost all of them tomorrow morning..."
"It's getting late now, let's go back and rest."
The sound of the ambulance came, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
What awaits them next is a good sleep.
As for this nightmare on the beach, it will surely disappear without a trace at dawn, right?
