Tang Rou washed away the fishy smell of the sea, wrapped herself in a nightgown and climbed onto the soft bed, shedding the fatigue of the day before falling into a deep sleep.
However, what she had was not a pleasant dream.
In the dream, Tang Rou returned to that dark night ten years ago.
Thick dark clouds carried sharp and terrifying lightning, and thunder struck the fragile eardrums. The cruise ship floated helplessly on the sea, completely losing power and paralyzed like duckweed in the rough water.
All her family members died in a shipwreck that night.
Amid the cries, the huge ship slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.
Tang Rou, in despair and on the verge of death, was rescued by a mysterious and legendary creature, and was taken to an uninhabited island where she spent seven days.
The other party fed her, healed her, and woke her up from the nightmare of high fever.
The moment she opened her eyes, Tang Rou thought she had entered heaven.
Otherwise, why would you see such a beautiful creature?
The man was holding his chin to observe her. His long, moist, light-blond hair lay softly on his shoulders. His eyes were like deep gems soaked in cold sea water, and his skin was as pale as deep-sea species that never see light.
What really surprised Tang Rou was his lower body.
The scales are polarized and the tail fin is dreamy and wide.
It was a creature that her lack of language system was insufficient to describe.
That is a beautiful mermaid.
The mermaid regarded her as his beloved toy, but she was taken away by a rescue helicopter when the mermaid entered the ocean to find food for her. She was taken away for ten years.
The seven days on an uninhabited island are like an illusory and fragile dream, gradually blurring as time goes by.
Over the years, she has been looking for traces of the existence of that creature, wondering whether the memory of the day she was redeemed was forged by her groggy brain, or whether it was real.
To this day, she has never seen that creature again.
.
Early the next morning, Tang Rou came to the laboratory.
She had been tortured by nightmares all night and her face was not looking good. She was lying on the table mixing nutrient solution when someone knocked on the door.
Atherland, wearing a silver lab coat, walked in and said in a regretful tone, "The test notice has come down, and your subject No. 17 is going to undergo a split experiment."
The split experiment, as the name suggests, continuously splits to test the regeneration ability.
Looking at Tang Rou's appearance, she couldn't help but remind her again, "I told you not to have too many feelings for the experimental subject."
"I know."
Unlike bioengineers like Atherland, Tang Rou is only responsible for breeding and studying biological habits.
Tang Rou couldn't understand what her colleagues said that these creatures had no emotions.
She could clearly feel their strong emotions, and they also had their joys, sorrows, and joys, and they would also be attached to her, clinging to her like children, and even trying to gain her attention in various ways.
Tang Rou came to the breeding tank No. 17 with a forbearing expression.
"On the 17th, I just received a notice to take you to the testing area..."
The young man surfaced from the water the moment she approached, looking down at her expressionlessly, with no trace of warmth on his handsome face.
But the hand hanging by his side was trembling slightly.
No one knew his excitement.
He doesn't act coquettishly like Sea Hare, he doesn't use his red eyes to win her sympathy and pity, and he doesn't use those coquettish methods to gain her attention.
He can't even imitate the corresponding expressions that humans show when they are happy, angry, sad, or happy.
He could only look at her silently and lonely, waiting day after day in exchange for a look from her.
But doing experiments is different.
Every time after completing an experiment, Tang Rou would pay special attention to him.
The pain of the experiment can be exchanged for her attention and care, which is happiness enough for him.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the half-octopus creature No. 17 was sent to the testing area on time.
High-density water tanks locked him up layer by layer, and the staff responsible for escorting him were fully armed and held laser weapons. It seemed that the young man locked in the box was such a terrifying weapon.
Tang Rou applied to follow him. The young man was so quiet in the water tank that the escorts could not help but marvel.
"Ms. Tang's breeding methods are indeed well-deserved. In the past, the escorting process of other research bodies was very difficult."
Tang Rou didn't answer, she just patted the water tank rhythmically to comfort the young experimental subject inside.
Due to insufficient permissions, the process is not allowed to be viewed.
Tang Rou was waiting outside the door with a calm expression.
The splitting experiment is very cruel. It will cut off his tentacles again and again, allowing him to escape from intensive attacks and test his reaction agility and regeneration ability.
These mysterious alien creatures were not very powerful when they first appeared on the earth. They mostly appeared in the form of babies or embryonic eggs, and were salvaged, bred, and controlled by biological companies and the military.
There are conspiracy theories that these terrifying creatures are mysterious heretics visiting from another world, and their DNA fragments are not homologous to any known creatures.
But this does not prevent those in higher positions from seeing great value in them.
Probably it is the self-confidence of standing at the top of the food chain throughout the ages that makes the superiors think that humans are the dominant species, and even want to manipulate and control them.
People want to control this planet, and the fantasy is beautiful.
However, they forget that the Tower of Babel ultimately failed because of God’s intervention.
The moment the door opened and closed, she saw the dying young man tied up behind the transparent protective wall.
The expressionless face is covered with light blue blood, and the dark green and black curly wet hair hangs down on the pale cheek, bringing out a hint of fragility.
The faces of the researchers who walked out were filled with excitement and joy. The test results were far beyond their imagination and were perfect.
Behind the moving crowd, the young man raised his head and accurately captured Tang Rou's direction.
The dark green eyes moved, casting a searching gaze.
His weak antennae moved, and the tip of his tail curled up pitifully, stained with blue blood, as if waving to her.
As always, I never cried out about pain.
The door was closed again for the second round of experiments, and the face of No. 17 disappeared behind the cold metal door.
Tang Rou pursed her lips.
However, things changed in an instant.
"boom--"
A loud noise called back Tang Rou's attention.
Very close to the test area, a huge noise suddenly erupted, and even the lights above the head flashed.
Many armed men ran over, looking very nervous, followed by countless bioengineers who were waiting for them.
Tang Rou followed the noisy sound and looked over.
There is Area S, the most mysterious area in the entire Tower of Babel Experimental Base.
Behind the huge seamless wall lives the most terrifying creatures in the known world, and the degree of danger is unimaginable.
After a while, the most unattainable professor in Area S was surrounded by people and walked towards the evacuation passage.
His arm on one side seemed to be torn apart by something. The medical staff supporting him pressed it tightly with gauze, but blood still spurted out.
And from the door behind him, there was a faint scream.
"What happened up front?"
Not far away, someone stopped the researcher who had escaped from inside and asked anxiously.
"Special, special experimental subject is out of control!"
