Age Of The Sirens

Tang Yi had a dream. He dreamed of a night when he was about five years old.The wind and thunder outside the window, the torrential rain, the dilapidated curtains were blown away, vaguely like a weeping soul in the dark night.Tang Yi slipped off his bed and got into Tang Ya's bed.

Tang Ya was also so frightened that she couldn't sleep, her body shivered slightly under the quilt.After Tang Yi got in, the two young bodies were tightly pressed together, and their arms were wrapped around each other to keep warm.

When they were two children, they could communicate without speaking.In the darkness, two pairs of black and white eyes looked at each other, comforting each other.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you." This is what Tang Ya's eyes said to him.

Tang Yi blinked his eyes and grinned, meaning, "I'm right!"

With a low laugh, Tang Ya glanced at him out of the corner of her eyes, "Who ran to my bed in fright?"

"I'm afraid you're afraid!"

The young Tang Ya sighed like a little adult, and stroked Tang Yi's hair, "Idiot, I'm obviously an older brother!"

"We are twins, equal!"

At this moment, a thunder exploded, as if a bomb had exploded outside the window.Tang Yi shrank into his brother's arms with a low cry, and Tang Ya also hugged her brother tightly nervously.

Some children on other beds were already crying.But Tang Yi felt extremely at ease and safe at the moment.

I don't know when it started, the two of them will no longer hug each other so closely, as if they were one person.If you must find a head, it is probably when two people start to want to be independent from each other... Everyone wants to be unique, and no one wants to be the shadow of others.Even twins are unwilling to give up such rights.

However, while chasing distinction and independence, they unknowingly lost another rare thing in the world—the stability and completeness of spiritual connection.

Tang Yi opened his eyes and saw the bright lights.The walls of dense plastic reflect the unemotional light.He was lying on a hospital bed with an infusion tube inserted into his arm. Occasionally, people came and went outside the wall, all wearing dense protective clothing.

Tang Yi felt pain and swelling in his head, and moved his fingers, and a numbness and itchiness spread from his limbs.His mouth was dry and his throat was swollen and sore. He coughed twice and wanted to cry out, but he couldn't make a sound.

He forcefully tore off the infusion tube on the back of his hand, sat up on the bed and leaned against the thick pillow behind him.With a dull pain in his stomach, he lifted the quilt, lifted up the hospital gown, and saw that his stomach was wrapped with a thick bandage.

"Your physical fitness is really good. After suffering such a heavy injury and losing so much blood, you actually woke up so quickly."

With the sudden sound, Tang Yi turned his head and saw a half-human tall robot next to him, with a monitor above his head showing the face of a young Indian who might be a doctor.

Tang Yi asked in a hoarse voice, "Is this Siren Squad?"

The doctor didn't answer his question, and said as if reciting lines step by step, "According to the regulations, all of your team members have to go through three days of isolation and observation first. Today is the last day, and you will be discharged from the hospital soon."

Tang Yi looked around, "Where are the others? Where's Mercury?"

"Except for the three soldiers and three sea-monsters who were killed in the [-]th team, everyone else is recuperating in isolation, and they are almost recovering. However, your sea-monster is not in a good condition and hasn't woken up yet." The doctor said it lightly, as if it was a trivial matter not worth mentioning.Tang Yi was not calm anymore.He threw off the quilt, twisted his body and grabbed the robot's screen, "I want to see him. His mental state may be dangerous..."

"Then we have to wait until the quarantine period is over. You are slightly dehydrated now, so drink some water first." The robot's arms were elongated, and the water cup was held in its grip-like hand.Tang Yi was not too polite, Gulu Gulu drank it in one gulp, and finally managed to calm down a bit.He turned his head, only to find that the robot's screen had gone black, and the doctor had left.

Tang Yi fell back on the bed exhausted, his tense nerves relaxed a little.He couldn't help but scolded, "The Kraken team of the dog days... the good benefits for a long time are all paid for by gambling..."

The first mission was so thrilling, and he also had close contact with one of the top leaders of the rebel army. Tang Yi wanted to greet the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the captain.Is it that difficult to say that the rebels can control the infected and there are monsters in the research institute?I have done life-threatening missions in the army before, but at least the intelligence is not too crooked.This time the information is completely the same as if it was not given!

It seems that the base's most proud intelligence system is also full of loopholes on the battlefield where the most advanced Kraken team performs missions.

What puzzled him most was why the rebels wanted mercury so much?Even Park Se-hwan is just a bait.

The base also attaches great importance to mercury, but it seems that it has not paid attention to the height of the rebels.You know, the leader of the rebel army took the risk himself for a sea monster. This is unimaginable for those top human wise men sitting in the sword, right?

Tang Yi reached out to touch his watch, but found nothing.He looked around, but couldn't find any trace of his watch.

It seems that it was taken away by the security department or the team for investigation.Tang Yi felt very uncomfortable, such a private thing as a watch, he took it away as soon as he said it, without even asking.I used to be in the army, at least I had some privacy...

Tang Yi rested for a day and a night, and the next morning, the zipper of the opening of the plastic room was finally pulled open from the outside.Several doctors in airtight protective clothing tore off his hospital gown, looked at him with various instruments, measured his heartbeat and blood pressure, drew blood, made him stick his tongue out and roll his eyelids, after a while A doctor concluded, "No signs of infection. Can be released from isolation."

One of the doctors took off his mask, and it was the thick-browed and big-eyed Indian doctor in his thirties that he had seen on the screen before, with a famous tag on his chest: Raj Bandyopadhyay (Rosh Bando Bhatiay).

"You are still relatively weak, and your wound has not fully healed. You will have to rest in bed for a month, and you don't need to participate in training." The attending doctor named Rosh lowered his head and wrote the case on the tablet.

Tang Yi didn't care about this at all, he lifted the quilt and jumped out of bed, "Where's Mercury?"

The doctor closed the flip cover of the tablet with a snap, and raised his sleepy eyelids, "He doesn't feel it even if you go now."

Tang Yi grabbed the military coat that the nurse put on his bed just now and put it on, pulled on the slippers and stood up, patted the doctor on the shoulder, "Brother, you have worked hard these two days. But I am the owner of the sea monster, please tell me Where is he?"

"...the second intensive care unit on the 37th floor."

After Tang Yi left the ward, he realized that he was no longer in the Kraken team.On one side of the corridor is a row of clear and transparent floor-to-ceiling windows. Outside the windows is a forest of steel stretching to the horizon, which is dyed a faint grayish blue by the eternal dark sky.Large and small aircraft and mini-machines are strewn about outside the window, just like countless jade belts dancing in the forest, which is spectacular.

Tang Yi saw the sharp sword that pierced into the sky across the sky. The minimalist and flat metal shell reflected the rare sunlight nine days away, making the whole building shine golden and bright, looking down on the world.

"Yandu..."

The corridor was very quiet, except for the occasional nurses and doctors, few other patients were seen.No one stopped him, he clutched his aching abdomen and slowly entered the elevator.His mind was still blank, as if he hadn't recovered from his stupor.Long yellow sand, abandoned cities, empty research institutes, disgusting monsters, and the emissary of equality exuding a dangerous atmosphere.He almost thought he couldn't make it back alive.

If there is no mercury, he must have confessed that it is there.

Thinking of the silver-haired sea monster, Tang Yi felt a little joy in his heart.The memory of fighting side by side with Mercury was so clear that nothing could be found. At the time, I didn't feel anything, but now that I think about it, the tacit understanding is unbelievable.It's as if it's not the first time they've acted together.

But Tang Yi's heart twitched again when he thought of Shuiyin's empty eyes when he heard the news that Tang Ya had died.

The door opened, and the 34th floor was quieter than the [-]th floor where he was just now.He found the "Second Intensive Care Unit" and gently turned the door handle.

In the fuzzy plastic isolation room, a silver-white figure can be faintly seen lying quietly.At this time, the isolation was over, the plastic zipper was opened, and Tang Yi carefully opened the plastic curtain.

Mercury sank in the soft bed with her eyes closed, her face was covered with a breathing mask, her long hair like mercury pouring down the ground spread out on the bed, her whole body was as pale as a puff of smoke, which was about to dissipate in a blink of an eye.

Tang Yi sat down beside the bed, staring straight at the elegant side profile of Mercury, the chest rising and falling with shallow breathing, and the slightly blue hand with the infusion tube inserted outside the quilt.

Tang Yi gently held that hand by accident.

The hands are cold, but it is not the coldness of death, but the refreshing coolness of the deep sea undercurrent.

"Mercury." Tang Yi whispered these two words.Quicksilver was still sound asleep, without any reaction.

Tang Yi sighed, a feeling of loss lingered between his eyebrows and eyes.

If Mercury doesn't wake up like this, how long will the security department wait?

Suddenly, the plastic curtain was raised again.Tang Yi was startled, and when he turned around, he saw an unexpected person.Tsuruta Takumi was really wearing a neat military uniform, and he was taken aback when he saw Tang Yi.

Tang Yi blurted out and asked, "What are you doing here?"

This question was purely out of curiosity, not provocative at all.But in Tsuruta's ears, the taste changed for some reason.

"What are you doing here again?" Tsuruta snorted coldly and asked back.

Tang Yi had no hostility towards Tsuruta at first, after all, the other party saved his life.But hearing the sting in these words, his little temper was stimulated again.He raised his eyebrows, and gave an angry chuckle, "Are you kidding me? I am his master, so of course I want to come and see my siren? Who are you, Mercury?"

Tsuruta was speechless.He clenched his teeth angrily, but finally he didn't say anything, he just walked to the other side silently, looking down at Mercury's bloodless face.

"The doctor said that his body has begun to recover, but he has been unable to wake up from his lethargy." Tsuruta's eyes, which were usually sharp like a hawk, suddenly softened at this moment, even with a little melancholy, "Siren Falling into a deep sleep is sometimes a sign of losing the will to live. Have you been noticed by him?"

Tang Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he glared at Tsuruta reflexively, pretending to be relaxed, "Don't talk nonsense. I have been professionally trained, and he and I have always cooperated very well."

"Then why did he become like this." Tsuruta's tone was aggressive, and Tang Yi was a little furious.

He stood up slowly, looked straight at Tsuruta's handsome and serious face, and retorted, "That's because I was almost stabbed to death by a monster transformed by the Leviathan virus. Mercury consumed too many creatures to save me, and was later killed The rebels attacked."

"Hmph..." Tsuruta had such an expression on his face, "I knew you would only hold us back if you followed."

Tang Yi couldn't believe his ears, "Fuck, you little Japan is so unreasonable?! Why don't you ask Nolan if they can get out of that institute alive without me?! You are a It was quite worry-free to be caught by the rebels at the beginning, and we almost became the full banquet of that monster! Before the investigation was clear, we made random comparisons and drew conclusions, so you are still the captain?! When I was the platoon leader If everyone managed people like you, the soldiers would have rebelled long ago, okay?!"

He Tian was used to the quiet environment of the hospital, but Tang Yi suddenly yelled at him, his ears were buzzing and he thought, "Slow down! This is a hospital!"

Tang Yi rolled his eyes, sat back down, and muttered, "You're the only one with quality."

The two of them were embarrassed for a moment, and Tsuruta Takumi reluctantly said, "I made a slip of the tongue just now, so I apologize."

Tang Yi glanced at him, a little surprised.It seems that this person is not completely unreasonable.He rubbed his nose, "Forget it, I'm also responsible for Mercury becoming like this. But, what's going on with that sea monster you mentioned losing its will to live?"
