This is a mysterious creature that could only be seen in fantasy stories. It is people's fiction. Meeting the mermaid this time finally proves that she did not have a bizarre dream ten years ago.
Creatures like mermaids always seem to be saving her life, no matter in the past or now.
Tang Rou had an infinite fondness for this species from the bottom of her heart.
She suddenly asked out of curiosity, "Will your tears turn into pearls?"
The mermaid looked up at her, as if she couldn't understand the question.
She asked again, "I heard that eating mermaid meat can lead to a long life and bring the dead back to life?"
The mermaid smiled, her light eyes shining brightly in the darkness, "You want to try?"
Tang Rou thought for a while and asked tentatively, "Isn't this appropriate?"
"..." His voice rose slightly, "Do you really want to try?"
Tang Rou laughed and comforted the scaly mermaid.
It is really unfair for the Creator to give him an incomparable appearance and a confusing voice.
In the second half of the night, the temperature is even lower.
As time went by, Tang Rou began to become drowsy. She went from sitting in front of the table, to lying down, to then resting on her arms weakly. The mermaid felt that the temperature of her knees under her arms was gradually rising.
The body temperature is very warm, different from the cold sea water, and he likes it very much.
However, gradually, this kind of temperature felt wrong to the human fish. He frowned, raised his head and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Tang Rou moved her eyelids, raised her hand to touch her forehead, and sighed, "I seem to have a fever."
"Fever? What do you mean?" the mermaid asked doubtfully.
Is it a fever period? She has reached mating season? Humans also have mating season?
Tang Rou didn't know what the mermaid was thinking, so she patiently explained, "It means she is sick."
"you are sick?"
the mermaid repeated softly.
He sat up, reached out and imitated Tang Rou, placing his palm against her forehead.
Tang Rou felt hot all over, tortured by the burning sensation. The clothes on her body were dry and wet, and sticky cold sweat broke out on her back. Suddenly, she felt a little more comfortable when the mermaid's cool palm was pressed against her.
She smiled weakly and winked at the mermaid, "Your hands look like fever-reducing patches."
"Would this make you feel better?" he asked sincerely.
"I don't know." Tang Rou lay down for a while with her eyes closed. Suddenly she thought of something and opened the drawer. There was a pack of antipyretics inside.
There was no hot water, so she could only hold cold water down her nose and drink it. After drinking it, she became even more drowsy.
She was very tired, her thin spine was bulging, and her uncomfortable sleeping position made her unable to help but frown even in a semi-drowsy state.
In the drowsiness, a shadow slowly rose up.
The other party stretched out his hand to pass through the crooks of her legs and back, and picked her up. Tang Rou felt like she was being gently placed on the sofa.
In the darkness, someone was watching her constantly.
Tang Rou turned over and curled up on the sofa, hugging her legs like an injured kitten. This was the usual posture of the fetus in the womb. This posture usually appeared when she felt insecure.
Does she feel insecure?
The mermaid lay beside her, confused.
What can be done to make her feel safer?
Those emotionless eyes showed a confused look. Like a mammal in this world, he lay beside Tang Rou's legs, intentionally or unintentionally imitating her movements, curling up his arms and burying his head between them.
What is security?
Creatures like them never lack or need a sense of security. Emotions are a false proposition in their eyes.
With the fainting of will, things changed slightly, and the injured fish tail began to heal itself quickly, even if it took a long process.
The unconsciously activated self-protection mechanism makes mermaids look a little different.
His hair was gradually filled with a strange golden light, like the phosphorus powder flying on the wings of a butterfly. In the blue water outside the glass wall, the jellyfish never returned, and then began to strike again with its soft tentacles.
Glass Wall, this time more manic than before.
Number 4 was extremely anxious, changing his once gentle image, trying to make some noise.
However, the tentacles of the jellyfish are so soft, and the soft-tissue creature whose body is more than 90% composed of water cannot wake up the two people who are sleeping in pain.
At the same time, in the glass room of the Hotdam Virus Research Center hundreds of kilometers away, the people who had been salvaged from the sea gradually changed.
Yamada was woken up from his sleep again. When he quickly came to the observation area, he was stopped by the security guard guarding outside.
"Colonel, you'd better not go in."
Through the door panel, you can vaguely see that the thick glass walls of the observation area have been smashed in several places, as if the humans inside had forced their way out. However, everyone knows that these glasses are bulletproof. They are high-density tempered glass.
Human power will never be able to break it even if it lasts a lifetime.
So what exactly happened?
During the conversation, several people carried a stretcher, and a seriously injured researcher was brought out. Blood was dripping from his neck, one side of his shoulder blade was torn, and his arm was missing.
The security officer continued, "Thirty minutes ago they lost control, became very manic, and attacked many staff members."
When the stretcher was carried away from Yamada, he saw that the female researcher had a sharp dot on her forehead. She was not unconscious, but looked dazed and frightened.
"What happened to her?" Yamada asked, "What caused that on her forehead?"
The person next to him handed over a thin tablet with surveillance video played on it. Yamada discovered that those people collectively lost control at a certain moment and fell into a manic-depressive state.
They beat the hard tempered glass, used their limbs and teeth, and even hit it with their skulls. There seemed to be no problem, and their physical signs were consistent with the biological mark of "human".
However, a horrifying scene occurred.
One of the women suddenly had a crack in her neck. The structure was similar to lips, but the difference was that protruding from the crack was a long, narrow and hard ugly mouthpart.
The hardened and mutated sharp fingers instantly created a crack on the glass. She hit it crazily one after another. Soon, with a crunching sound, the glass cracked like a spider web and fell to the ground.
When the staff in white clothes heard the noise and rushed over, they found the alien human being who had escaped through the broken window and was standing in the corridor and acting strangely. They were so frightened that they wanted to run away, but it was too late.
The mutated woman moved very quickly. She knocked the researcher to the ground in an instant, and inserted her long and narrow sucking mouthparts into the experimenter's forehead at an indescribable speed. Like a mosquito sucking blood, it used its sharp beak to
Absorbing the brain marrow from the poor researcher's head.
A staff member at the side of the organization said, "We conducted autopsies on the bodies of the researchers who died and found that their brain tissue had disappeared and their brains were hollow."
