"What's wrong? Ah Shen, answer me!"
Ah Shen's sudden silence immediately made Gao Yi on the other end of the communication nervous. At this time, he opened the door and rushed out, ignoring the three people who were talking about blackmail.
"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 accumulated 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 could be hidden 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, and 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's someone else 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 washbasin 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 take them back... Hey!"
The man's hand that had just stretched out was caught by a crab, and he immediately retracted it as if he was electrocuted, dancing in pain.
After this movement, the sound of cracking carapace suddenly sounded nearby. Many crab carcasses were stained with sand and stuck into a lump, and began to emit an inexplicable fishy odor.
"Hey young!"
The screams were far from stopping.
Because at this time, they seemed to feel the pheromones emitted when their companions died, and other crabs showed their desire to attack the giant creature in front of them.
They started to climb 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. No matter how the person shook his body, they refused to let go.
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 the 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!"
Finally, an old fisherman stepped 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. He led him back to the steps along the previously cleared path, and without even bothering to hear a thank you, he plunged into the crab swarm without stopping again.
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 is closest to the coastline
Recently, he was also one of the first people 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 back."
Someone hurriedly spoke to the old man, and the latter quickly took off one of his water shoes. However, before handing it out, he suddenly felt a strong wind coming from his side, and a short black Ying 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. Crush them into crumbs.
Ah Shen completely ignored people's surprised looks and walked aside silently.
Ringing~
At this moment, a bell rang from the bicycle lane, and a shared bicycle came straight toward him like an arrow missing from its string. Gao Yi braked and swung the front of the bicycle to one side, and he jumped off the bicycle in one step. Came to the guardrail.
"really……"
He looked at the crabs that had spread almost all over the beach and couldn't help but murmur to himself: "What a nightmarish sight..."
The piled crab carcasses were eaten clean by the swarming compatriots, who brought sand to rebury the shriveled carapace. After cleaning up the battlefield, the crabs once again embarked on their journey to an unknown destination. .
Fortunately, they seem to be unable to climb up these huge steps, and can only spread to the surrounding areas of the same terrain through the beach.
"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?
"Everyone, don't worry too much..."
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 control personnel will come over early tomorrow morning to maintain order. Maybe they don't even need to come over. There are so many crabs, and the seabirds will be able to catch them all early tomorrow morning..."
"It's getting late now, let's go back and rest."
The sound of an ambulance came, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
What awaits them next is nothing more than a good night's sleep.
As for this nightmare on the beach, it will surely disappear without a trace at dawn, right?
The sun will still shine tomorrow.
They believe so.
