Mermaid Effect

In fact, it was Ryan who first realized that something was going on.

At the time they were doing some necessary investigations in Sector 3 (although practically all investigations were necessary).At Ryan's request, Simon had to bring out some of the finished projects that had been done here and show them to Ryan, some modified marine life, dolphins, tiger sharks, and tuna.

Siren's cells have an activity that seems to have been blessed by God, and they are so smart that it makes people feel terrible, it is almost like having a kind of intelligence, and they can almost transform themselves to adapt to any kind of environment. Everyone in the SIREN-II lab is crazily longing for this ability like an addict longing for drugs. Naturally, a lot of experiments have created countless weird creatures that don't conform to the rules of this world.

For example, the dolphin with hard scales, the mini tiger shark with a size of only [-] centimeters... The most shocking thing is the tuna, which has a flat sheet, as if made of plasticine. human face.

"For God's sake," Simon dragged its petri dish out of the thermostatic chamber forcefully, showing disgust after seeing the other party, "I don't think I will eat tuna sushi again. "

Of course, the animals that are still here are just "little gadgets", and the individuals with real research value have been transported to other secret laboratories along with the previous evacuees.This is why Simon is so straightforward.These are the products of the successful fusion of ordinary species and siren cells, but they are meaningless from a practical point of view.

Meaninglessness directly equates to harmlessness, and the harmlessness of the products of the Siren Project has always been an attempt by Shenbai Corporation.According to the impression left by the government, this is a somewhat self-contradictory decision for a company that develops secret biological weapons-but Simon has never bothered to think about it, and now he just simply hopes that Ryan can quickly end this. Investigating meaning, and then rolling back to Washington, Ryan approached the human-faced tuna, lightly touching the glass wall with his fingers.

The fish turned its face around slowly, it had a scary empty gaze, especially when it still had a weird and clumsy human face, the effect of the uncanny valley seemed to be infinitely magnified .

Simon came over and glanced at it, frowned and muttered something troubled.

"Well, it..."

"what happened?"

Lane looked up alertly at Simon, who shrugged his shoulders at him.

"It's nothing, I just feel that these guys are a bit sluggish, it's not a big problem... I think the people left behind are not careful people, I think I have to check the culture fluid later The matching ratio, maybe there is something wrong..."

At this moment, a sudden feeling of nausea hit Ryan in the stomach like a hammer.His knee lost strength in an instant, his whole body leaned to the side, and his shoulder hit the petri dish of the mermaid.

"Lane?"

Simon looked at him in surprise.

Ryan stood up straight in silence, and that strong feeling of nausea still remained in his body.

"fine."

He said to Simon.

Simon twitched the corner of his mouth. He passed Ryan and moved to the front of the petri dish, frowning and carefully looked at these experimental subjects who were not taken seriously, while Ryan kept observing him carefully.

Gradually, the expression of not caring about anything on Simon's face disappeared, his brows became more and more wrinkled, and a kind of confusion mixed with surprise flashed in his eyes.After a few seconds, he jumped up like a rabbit and started to call up the composition analysis table of the culture solution, and then he rushed back to the petri dish again.

He turned on a few keys on the operation panel next to the petri dish, and some special bait was put into the petri dish, but all the animals sank numbly to the bottom of the water like silent statues without any reaction.

Ryan saw that the blood on Simon's face was gradually disappearing, and some cold sweat was on his forehead.

"What happened—"

This time Ryan couldn't even finish his sentence. Strong nausea, headache, and dizziness rushed towards him. It was as if someone had stirred his brain with a spoon. For a moment, Ryan's consciousness Completely disappeared.

When it returned to Ryan again, he found himself lying on the ground, his fingers and cheeks trembling uncontrollably as if he had been hit by an electric shock, his head and shoulders hurt like hell, He should have fallen directly to the ground.Beside him, Simon was lying on the ground with a pale face, trying to support his upper body with his hands. He hung his head and couldn't stop retching...

Well, Ryan thought, obviously it wasn't just his problem.

Simon ignored Ryan, and after vigorously wiping his face dry with his sleeve, he stumbled up and lay down next to the petri dishes.Compared with the two extremely embarrassed human beings outside, these experimental subjects looked slightly better, but they were only better.

They writhed in the water as if suffering from parasites, twitched, and turned hard to the corner of the petri dish. Some excrement and vomit sprayed out from the holes on their bodies, and soon polluted culture medium.

"No no no...you don't have secretory glands...oh damn, damn it!"

Simon's face was covered with cold sweat, his lips trembled unconsciously, muttering to himself like a neurotic.Ryan kept his mouth tightly shut, trying hard to regain control of his body. He didn't have any strength until now. Compared with Simon, his state was obviously much worse.

It was at this time that Simon's gaze turned.

"It's useless," he said hoarsely. "Your body sense is much more sensitive than ours, so it will make you more uncomfortable."

"it?"

After Ryan opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was hoarse as if his throat had been burned by fire.

Simon walked over holding the petri dish and helped Ryan up with difficulty.

"The infrasonic attack, if you want me to explain it, is from the sirens' experimental subjects. They are 'cocooning'. Unless they happen to have an adult red scale guarding the nest next to them, otherwise they have to emit sound waves to expel them. All creatures within the domain to ensure the safety of transformation."

While explaining, he walked slowly to the wall and pushed a bright red lever—then, the extremely harsh siren pierced the air in an instant.

Then Simon returned to Ryan, and he used one of his shoulders to support Ryan and walked towards the door. His shoulder blades were as thin as a dagger against Ryan's pectoral muscles.

"You have a gun right?"

asked Simon.

"I have," Ryan said slowly, "I don't understand..."

"The siren has a special way of evolution - imagine it is a complete metamorphosis of an insect, it will spit out a large amount of digestive juice mixed with other materials to build a cocoon at a time, and then undergo metamorphosis in it, when they once again When it crawls out of the cocoon, it undergoes a drastic change, the kind that allows them to adapt to the environment with ease. Sirens have a unique way of communicating with each other. Once one of them begins to cocoon, all other blue The scales will be synchronized. As for the rest, I would love to continue explaining to you, but I think we are running out of time now."

At this time, Simon and Ryan had come to the corridor.

The siren was still spreading in the air, it was as sharp as a knife, and could almost cut through a person's eardrum.

Some heavy and hurried footsteps rang in the ears of Simon and Ryan through the building materials, and there was a strong sense of fear in the air.

Simon touched his headset, then put Ryan down, and leaned against the wall by himself.

"Get ready," he said to Ryan.

"what?"

Ryan finally felt that the strong discomfort had disappeared, and he asked.

But after a few seconds he understood what Simon said—

Nausea and headaches came again.

Ryan lost consciousness again, until the pain in his cheek brought him back.

"Hey, wake up!"

Simon squatted beside him, slapping his face vigorously with the palm of his hand.

Ryan didn't know how much time had passed, he had been a soldier in training, and the necessary physical pain training had never bothered him at all - but they probably didn't add up to what he was suffering now Torture is even more sad.

Ryan's face was wet, tears and saliva from his previous unconscious convulsions.When he was pulled up by Simon, he felt some itching in his ears. After reaching out and touching it, he found that his fingers were bright red blood. "Congratulations, your organs are resonating with the sound waves."

Simon congratulated without much sincerity, and he dragged Ryan up again.

His face was as white as paper, and Ryan noticed a large patch of blood at the base of the white of his eye.Ryan believed that he might not look much better now.

"where are we going?"

Simon dragged Ryan forward, and the latter noticed that the direction of the two of them was completely opposite to the sound of those fleeing footsteps.

"Go save the world, I suppose. We've got to go kill those cocooned blue scales—before they kill us all."

Simon spat out a mouthful of blood and said viciously.

……

Ryan almost fainted, and every step he took, he could feel his internal organs trembling.After hearing Simon's words, his facial muscles twitched.

"The report shows that Deep White did not keep live mermaids here."

"Ah, that's just a report. In addition, they are not living mermaids, but clones."

And who knew that clumsy clone could be cocooned.

There's no time to mourn human stupidity, and Simon knows that better than anyone in the base.

If George Ann, who asked for help from the headquarters, was still fantasizing about someone coming to save them, Simon was extremely desperate about the chances of his group surviving.

He had carefully studied the cocooning of sirens—although at that time almost everyone thought it was just a theoretical state, it was too beyond human imagination, and it was too unreasonable.

However, the accompanying infrasonic attack during cocooning has always been a shadow in Simon's heart. He has seen the attack strength data calculated by the computer-it can be said that it is almost comparable to a nuclear bomb.

Under this level of attack, it is impossible for any one person to provide them with external assistance.

There was nothing wrong with his assumption.

Outside the terrifyingly huge artificial floating island, the sea water was boiling.

It is boiling in another sense. A large number of water droplets are blasted by sound waves into fine mist floating on the milky white sea. The reason why the sea is milky white is because of its The surface is completely covered with foam.The waves were compressed into huge water films one after another above the sea surface, but they could not fall down. Groups of krills were pumped out of the sea water like dust, forming this abnormality together with the water films. Weird picture.
