"Are you... crazy?" Shi Qianjin turned her head, looked at Su Teng lying in a pool of blood, and asked in disbelief.

The six mercenaries were composed and calm, obviously not going crazy for a while.One of them said: "Don't worry, Mr. Song said, as long as Su Teng is killed."

Another person laughed and said, "I thought it would take a lot of work, but I didn't expect it to be so simple. Go and check to see if he is dead."

"What are you afraid of? He can't equip a mech. Even if he still has some breath, let him struggle for a while." Laughter echoed in the dome.

Shi Qianjin still didn't understand what happened, and murmured repeatedly: "Why, Song Zheng... why?"

None of the six seemed to know the answer, they just said indifferently: "The boss's order."

Just an hour ago, these people met unexpectedly before reaching Bird's Neck.Song Zheng sent several teams to stay to look for the ruins, and stopped Su Teng by the way.

With the gunshot just now, Shi Qianjin's mind was short-circuited, and he really couldn't figure out why Song Zheng did this.After a long silence, he lost his mind and said, "Where is Song Zheng, I want to see him."

"Mr. Song and the others have gone to 'Bird's Head', and they should have passed through the bird's neck by now." Someone replied, "When we finish checking here, we will escort Mr. Shi there."

Shi Qianjin walked up to Su Teng and knelt down, without any emotion in her heart, as if everything that happened just now was not true.He has known Su Teng for a long time, so long that he can't tell whether he really hates him or pays too much attention to him.

Shi Qianjin wanted to touch Su Teng's hair to confirm whether his friend was really dead, but the outstretched hand was trembling, and he couldn't let it go down, until he caught a glimpse of a change from the corner of his eye.

"The general... seemed to move a bit just now." Shi Qianjin suddenly stood up and walked in front of Su Teng, pointing palely behind the mercenary and said.

The six turned around at the same time, staring at the tall general statue suspiciously, from head to toe.The general's helmet covered his face, revealing only his eyes, but the work was hastily completed before the pupils could be carved.However, those white eyes had another deterrent effect. Under the general's "watching", several people felt terrified.

"Where did it move?" Someone asked cautiously.

"Let's get out of here, this thing is a bit..."

Several people were about to turn around and walk away when they heard a "click", the general's face was cracked, and a small piece of debris fell to the ground, making a brittle sound.They were startled and stared closely at the portrait, lest this guy would suddenly explode as Shi Qianjin said.

After waiting for a while, there was no more movement. One of them lost his patience and wanted to leave cursingly. As soon as he turned around, he stopped stiffly, and half of what he said was stuck in his throat.

The others couldn't help being surprised, and looked at him one after another, only to see that there was a blood hole in his neck, and blood was spraying out like a fountain.He stared at both eyes, and raised his hand to cover the blood hole, as if this would block the blood that came out.

The other five people turned around and shot at this moment, before they could even see what was behind them.After a burst of gunfire, there was nothing on the smoking ground, not even Shi Qianjin.

Frightened, they broke into a cold sweat, left their dying companions, and ran towards the entrance of the opposite cave.Seeing that they were about to reach the stone wall blocking the entrance of the cave, the people running in front heard two screams behind them.

The two people behind were kneeling on the ground with horror written all over their faces.A black skeletal mecha stood between the two, holding a dagger with a dark green luster behind each hand, and resting on the necks of the kneeling people on both sides.

The black mecha is as slender and delicate as a human body, and it can't be seen that it is a heavy shell worn on the body.A red-gold pattern emerged from the waist and went around the back, like a blood-stained golden river in the underworld, glowing in the dark light.

With a slight movement of the mech's hands, two fountains of blood gushed out, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of the next person.Gunshots resounded chaotically throughout the cave, as if the dark green knife light pierced through the air like wildfire underground, cutting off all sounds.

Among the several corpses on the ground, there was a dying mercenary who took out a bomb shaped like a hockey puck from his pocket with great difficulty, and just as he was about to throw it out, he let out a howl—his wrist was nailed to the ground by a blade.

The ruthlessness of the black mecha was imprinted in the terrified eyes of the mercenary. He could only see the river-like pattern on the mecha rising from his back, like wings, or dozens of sword blades. The flowing outline seemed to be dancing The flames cooled down and disappeared in an instant.

When the mercenary died, Shi Qianjin came out from behind the stone wall, and said in her usual disdainful tone: "What was that just now, peacock opening its tail? It's really shocking~~"

Su Teng withdrew the dagger, looked at Shi Qianjin's pale face and said, "Why help me, they obviously obeyed Song Zheng's order and will protect you until they send you to Song Zheng's side."

When Qianjin saw Su Teng's fingers moving, she knew that he was not dead, so she immediately stood in front of him and tricked the mercenaries to focus on the general's portrait.Su Teng took advantage of this brief gap to get up and equip the liquid metal armor in his body.

"I don't want to help you, I just don't want to go with them." Shi Qianjin said stiffly.He couldn't help touching Su Teng's arm, the tentacles were cold and slippery, giving people an illusion of unparalleled thinness. "This... is amazing, what kind of structure are you?"

Su Teng's hatred for his body for more than ten years suddenly disappeared after the catastrophe of the giant belly mountain.This thing that transforms him into a monster can protect Duledin at critical moments, making it regain the value and meaning of existence.

So Su Teng himself completed the last step that had been put on hold for several years and could not be completed.

The red-gold pattern on the mecha flickered from time to time, and suddenly a sword blade protruded from the side, unfolding in the air like a fan bone like a dream, and then disappeared suddenly.Shi Qianjin was taken aback: "Su Kongque, have you been pretending so much? Why don't you go to heaven! You scared me!"

Su Teng explained in a calm tone: "This mecha is connected to my nerves and bones, and my physical injuries will affect it."

"Oh, by the way, you were shot," Shi Qianjin subconsciously looked at Su Teng's chest, "You won't die, will you?"

"Maybe not." Su Teng said, and the mech intelligence system started for the first time after the completion of the work, "Physical inspection and repair."

The intelligent system replied in Duleding's cheerful voice: "Good little Susu, hello!"

Shi Qianjin: "... Your intelligent system is the voice of Ding Ding?"

Su Teng didn't say a word, his face was hidden under the helmet, and he didn't know what his expression was at this time.

Shi Qianjin couldn't help complaining: "You idiot! I wouldn't be surprised if you hid a Tintin pillow at home."

A bewildering silence.

Shi Qianjin helped her forehead: "...I rely on it!!!"

Su Teng calmly changed the topic: "Why did Song Zheng kill me alone?"

Shi Qianjin curled her lips: "If you ask me, I'll ask whom."

"Isn't he your boyfriend?" Su Teng said as a matter of course, "Could it be that you don't know anything about what he is thinking?"

Shi Qianjin's eyes darkened, he thought that he was so compatible with Song Zheng, that he must be the person who knew and understood Song Zheng best.However, it turned out that he knew nothing about this man except Song Zheng's name.

What Song Zheng wants to do, what he wants to get, and what he will do for this purpose... These questions make Shi Qianjin feel afraid.

What's worse, he couldn't even determine why Song Zheng ordered not to kill him.Song Zheng really has feelings for him, or should he just use him as a substitute, or there is still some use for keeping him...

"Come and see this."

When Shi Qianjin came back to her senses, she found that Su Teng had gone to the general's side at some point.The two had never had a chance to get close before, and it was only now that they could see it clearly and carefully.

The general's armor style is a bit strange, it may be unique equipment on this island.Especially the helmet, the upper part is like a eaves, and the lower part is like a mask, which tightly covers the part other than the eyes.

A small area of ​​the cracked surface peeled off, revealing a layer of purple-black stuff inside.Su Teng's heart moved, and he carefully enlarged the facial cleft until half of the skull was exposed.

Shi Qianjin was stunned: "Oh my god... the people of Wuze Kingdom are very thoughtful, this is dumplings stuffed with human meat!"

The two gently peeled off the shell with swift hands and feet, and a huge mummy sat cross-legged inside.Even if it is sitting, it can still "look up" to Su Teng. If you stand up, you can imagine the height.

The corpse has been treated with a special embalming method, the surface is purple-black, and the skin sticks to the bone like a taut vine.Although its sitting posture is no different from that of ordinary people, the skull is obviously not human.

Shi Qianjin's first reaction was that someone had attached the skull of some kind of animal to the giant's neck.But after inspection, it was found that this huge head with a terrifying shape grew on the cavity of this body.

"This is definitely not a human being," Shi Qianjin felt a little terrified, "It may be... a monster that is a specialty of this island."

The seemingly solid armor on Su Teng's chest suddenly shone with layers of light like ripples on the surface of the water. A bullet was pushed out by some invisible force, piercing through the skin and part of the liquid mecha and falling to the ground.

"It must be a special monster on this island," Su Teng took Shi Qianjin's words as if nothing happened, "but have you ever thought about it, it may indeed be a human being."

Shi Qianjin was thinking about the scene where the bullet just fell out, but was stunned after hearing Su Teng's words.It took him a while to realize that the situation of Song Zheng and Du Leding had already well explained the particularity of the corpse in front of him.

"That's not right," Shi Qianjin realized, "Song Zheng...has been mutated for 60 years, isn't he still human?"

The situation of Song Zheng and Du Leding seemed to be different. Before the mystery was solved, Su Teng could not answer his question.

"Maybe this thing can explain something." Su Teng took out a silk scroll from the palm of the corpse's empty hand, and slowly unfolded it. Shi Qianjin leaned over to help him translate.

There are many strange words in the scroll, but it is not difficult to guess the meaning in connection with the context.The more the two looked at it, the colder they felt. When the last word slipped past his sight, Su Teng quickly rolled up the scroll and put it away: "Song Zheng's purpose may be this, we have to find Ding Ding quickly."

Before the words fell, the cave suddenly lit up, and a blue fire ball rose on the edge of the altar, and then, one after another, blue fires ignited, and quickly formed a circle around the altar, engulfing Su Teng and Shi Qianjin. Surrounded by--

"This is the last door." Du Leding locked the small door on the east side, and looked out of the window worriedly.

Charlie said lazily: "If it wants to come in, those windows can't stop it."

"Talking is worse than nothing." Du Le Ding picked up Charlie and walked towards the stairs. Since he can't get out for a while, he might as well go around and investigate the situation here, maybe he will gain something.

When searching for all the exits on the first floor, Du Leding had a general understanding of the terrain here. It seemed to be a hexagonal building with an empty space in the middle.In the circular hall on the first floor, only a place similar to the front desk can be distinguished, and everything else is blank.

There are many rooms on the second floor, and some of the doors have been removed, leaving only empty door frames.There are all kinds of bulky old-fashioned instruments in the room, the structure is very complicated, and it is impossible to see what they are used for.

The two walked through room after room without seeing anything useful, until a well-preserved double metal door appeared in the middle of the corridor.

Duledin pulled the door open forcefully, and the moment the flashlight beam shone in, Charlie was about to scream again.Du Leding quickly covered his mouth with his hands and said comfortingly, "Anchor Yun, you have to protect your throat, and if you keep shouting like this, my heart can't stand it."

This space is very spacious. On both sides of the passage between the door and the other exit on the opposite side, there are two rows of cylindrical glass containers over two meters high, which are sealed with a light green unknown liquid, and those soaked in the liquid are It's a grotesque creature.

After finally calming down, Charlie said in shock, "This place must be doing terrible biological experiments. There are so many...so many creatures that have never been seen before. Could it be artificial?"

Duledin walked to the nearest glass vessel. The light green liquid was like a filter, making the creatures soaked in it look unreal.Its skin is almost transparent, its blood vessels are clearly visible, its upper body is curled up like an insecure baby, but its lower body is a tail.

The audience in the live broadcast room was boiling again——

Barrage: Is this a mermaid?This is a mermaid!

Barrage: Fairy tales are indeed deceitful, give me back my enchanting and beautiful mermaid princess!

Barrage: It's really scary, why do I always feel that this thing will open its eyes in a second.

Barrage: hold me tight...

Du Leding's Adam's apple rolled, and he couldn't believe what he saw.The creature has no hair, but it is indeed a human being from the upper body, but the two legs are replaced by tails.But this tail is not the same as the mermaid's fish tail, but more like the tail of Cucurbita's snake spirit.

Moreover, the creature does not have the beautiful face of the mermaid in the legend. That face is not so much a face as it is a dough.I don't know if it was originally like this, or because it was soaked in the liquid for too long, the contours of the facial features are blurred, and the mouth is thin and long, but it is somewhat similar to the long-tailed monster I saw before.

"Could it be a merman?" Charlie said tremblingly, "That's right, it's the creature you mentioned to make ointment when you were in the ancient tomb of Wushan."

Du Le Ding touched his chin: "That kind of thing... should be just a legend, besides, isn't the mermaid just a dugong?"

He knocked on the thick glass, and said, "The thing inside is just a monster. Maybe it's just like what you said, it's the product of mutation and hybridization made by people doing experiments on the island."

The two continued to walk in, and on both sides of the long passage, there were ten glass vessels in each row, each of which was filled with this strange-looking thing.They looked like they had just molted, and they didn't even have any covering on their tails. They were bare and gray, looking miserable and scary.

Du Leding looked over one by one, and there was no difference between these "mermaids", at most, some were bigger and had thicker and longer tails.He couldn't imagine what kind of research these experimental products were used for. He just felt that the underlying reason must be terrifying.

"Look, Tintin," Charlie said, pointing to the glassware beside him, "it has gills."

Du Le Ding took a closer look and found that the "mermaid" really had gill-like things behind its ears. It seemed that these monsters should be some kind of fish.

"Speaking of..." Du Leding stared at the tail of the "mermaid" and said, "The tail of this thing is quite similar to the tail of the fish god in the mural."

"The fish god looks like a snake, and his tail is no different from a snake." Charlie recalled.

While the two were talking, the "mermaid" in front of them suddenly opened its eyes, and slammed one hand on the glass, making a "bang".

"Ah, it's still alive!" Charlie frowned, and ran back desperately.

Du Le Ding also took a few steps back, the "mermaid" stared at him tightly, and spit out the letter from his grinning mouth, the teeth in his mouth were as sharp as sawtooth.

"Fuck, what the hell is this!" Du Leding ran to the opposite exit, grabbing the handle and pulling it hard.But the door hinge was jammed, creaking and creaking, but only a crack, not even Charlie could get through.

The "mermaid" frantically hit the glass with his body as if he was trying to get out of trouble.The thick double-glazed glass roared, and the bright red blood mixed with the light green liquid, the color was horrifying.

With a "snap", several cracks appeared on the glass, and Duledin broke out in a cold sweat, and the hand equipped with the arm armor was so hard that it crushed the doorknob.

Charlie put his head in his hands: "Oh my god, ah, I'm going to die, I'm going to die!"

The cracks on the glass were getting bigger and bigger, and the "mermaid" who didn't know whether it was panic or anger, regardless of his physical injury, slammed into it fiercely, until there was a loud "crash", the glass shattered, and the cloudy liquid rushed out. The translucent creature also rushed out of the broken hole and fell to the ground.

Charlie climbed on Duledin's back, his hair standing on end like a hedgehog.Du Leding pressed against the door panel, staring at the monster.

A strong and pungent smell of chemicals mixed with the smell of blood permeated the air. The "mermaid" lay on the ground, struggling in pain, its tail flicked around, and it slapped the ground with crackling noises.It curled up its hands and scratched its chest, as if it wanted to cut open its own chest, and the already fragile skin suddenly bled, looking extremely horrified.

Du Leding suddenly realized that this monster made a mistake. Since it has gills, it means it is a creature that lives in water. Once it leaves the water, it can only be a salted fish.

However, although the salted fish is suffocating, despair gives it incomparable strength.It suddenly turned over and lay down on the ground, looked at Du Le Ding with hatred, its tail stretched tightly, and it shot its body like an arrow with all its strength.

Du Le Ding didn't expect it to have this trick, so he rushed forward in desperation and lay down on the ground.The monster rushed past him with a fishy smell, and slammed into the door with swift force, knocking half of the door away.

A huge echo came from the space behind the door, and Du Leding quickly got up and looked back. The monster was covered in blood, and the tip of its tail slapped the ground weakly, and stopped struggling after a few strokes.

Du Leding and Charlie stared at the corpse stiffly, and didn't speak for a long time.

Barrage: My back is covered in cold sweat...

Barrage: The mermaid girl is really tenacious.

Barrage: What is this thing, can you touch its tail?

Barrage: It may be hairtail.

Barrage: Don't run away with fish!

Du Leding confirmed that the monster was completely salty, so he squatted down and took a closer look.Its eroded skin was covered with a layer of mucus, probably the green liquid medicine in the glass vessel.There are no clues on the upper body, but there are obvious traces of scales on the tail, but those scales have turned into limp fleshy spines, which are almost invisible if you don't look carefully.

If this monster is really a man-made product, then this kind of experiment is too terrible and abnormal.

Du Leding stood up to stay away from the salted fish, and then he noticed that the space in front of him seemed to be an office, and there was a row of metal cabinets full of folders and files by the wall.

He casually took out a copy and opened it. It was full of manual records. At the beginning, the handwriting was neat and strong, and then it became more and more scribbled, as if being urged by a deadline.

"What's written on it?" Charlie asked anxiously.

"It's all in English, do you understand it?" Du Leding handed it to him.

Charlie took it over and took a look: "It's all about the records of the equipment usage, it's useless."

Duledin put it back and took out another copy for him.Charlie flipped through the pages and said, "In 1941, a group of U.S. marines disappeared after landing on 'Borde' Island..."

"What happened during World War II?" Duledin interjected, "Bord Island? These people still have names."

Charlie continued to translate: "Well... Later, the search and rescue team and the survey team came, and it seemed that they found some traces of activities left by the Japanese. Then a large number of scientific researchers also came."

Du Le Ding wondered: "What are they doing here? What is there on this island worthy of scientists' research?"

Charlie turned a few pages silently, raised his head and said with a serious expression: "They think they have discovered the secret of this island."
