Mermaid Feeding Rules

Estrus?

The difference between s-5 and other mermaids is that Black, who is her destined partner, is also in the research institute.

Boyce speculates about this. Could this be the factor that promotes s-5 to go into estrus?

Before Black entered the institute, the breeder of s-5 was Kane.

Because I haven't read Kane's record before, Boyce hasn't returned it yet, so I can find it now.

Boyce flipped to the second half of the record based on the time before Black entered the Institute to replace Kane.

Boyce discovered that s-5 did not have an estrus period originally, but in the spring when Black entered the institute, s-5 began to show changes.

"She became agitated, looking for something..." Kane wrote.

"She was trying to get a response from me..."

"She is a little irritable now, and I was dragged into the pool by her again. But she doesn't seem to have any intention of hurting me..."

Boyce sighed when he saw this. With the arrival of the estrus period, the mermaid who was not comforted by her partner became more and more anxious...

Boyce became more and more certain that Black might have induced the estrus of s-5, if true...

Boyce suddenly thought of another mermaid in the research institute. In the next spring, will Garcia be induced to be in estrus due to his own reasons...

Thinking of this, Boyce was a little embarrassed for a while, and it was a little unnatural when he went to feed Garcia.

But there must always be an answer to this question. Rather than making wild guesses, it is better to ask the mermaid.

……

Seeing that Boyce was staring at him eating in a daze, Garcia subconsciously handed his food to Boyce.

Sharing food is an act that only partners can do among mermaids.

But because humans prefer cooked food, Garcia has never tried to share his food with him.

But this does not mean that mermaids are not keen on this kind of behavior, declaring sovereignty is almost the instinct of most creatures.

Now, seeing Boyce staring at his food, Garcia almost instinctively handed the food to him, with a look of eagerness in his eyes.

Just like some animals will leave their breath in the territory to show their sovereignty, for mermaids, sharing food with each other is also a way to declare their sovereignty.

This is one of the reasons why Garcia cares that Beuys is feeding another merman, even if the food being fed is provided by the research institute and not Beyce's own food.

Although Garcia knew that humans prefer cooked food, he didn't quite understand it.

He has never been in contact with humans before. As a species that lives in water all year round, mermaids instinctively resist fire. Garcia's only knowledge of cooked food comes from the grilled fish he has tried.

The cooked fish has a bitter taste, mixed with a fishy smell, and the fish has lost its smooth and tender taste and has become soft.

This made Garcia indifferent to cooked food, and even less interested in human food.

Boyce suddenly had a piece of fish in front of him. He froze for a moment, glanced at Garcia, and almost instinctively rejected his attempt to share the food with him.

Somewhat disappointed, Garcia took back the fish in front of Boyce.

"Why do you humans like cooked food?"

"Is cooked food as good as fresh fish?" Garcia raised a genuine doubt, still a little reconciled, trying to share his food.

Garcia believes that although the fish provided by the research institute is not as fresh and delicious as the fish Garcia himself hunts in the deep sea, Garcia believes that these should be better than human food.

However, if the human beings in front of him share the food with him, he can still accept it, Garcia thought.

But Beuys apparently didn't think so.

"Eating cooked food is a human habit."

Beuys thought he should explain: "Human food should not be as bad as you think."

He guessed that Garcia's one-sided understanding of human food should be related to his lack of contact with it before.

Boyce's right hand inadvertently touched the edge of his pocket, and felt a hard object, which was a piece of chocolate shared by others before.

He took the chocolate out of his pocket, and Garcia's gaze followed his movements, and landed on the paper-wrapped piece in his palm, which was a little bigger than a finger.

"Do you want to try human food?" Boyce said suddenly.

Garcia tasted the meaning hidden in his words, his eyes lit up, and he stared at Boyce's palm, this is human food...

Moreover, it is not the food provided by the research institute, but the food belonging to Boyce.

For some reason, Boyce, who had been trying to get rid of the partnership with Garcia, had a vague thought in his mind. He seemed to ask an inappropriate question.

However, this idea didn't stay in his heart for long. He remembered his reason for coming, looked at Garcia, and tentatively said, "I want to ask you a question. In exchange, I can show you some human food."

The tip of the mermaid's curly tail suddenly straightened due to excitement.

He restrained his emotions a little, and his voice became hoarse: "What do you want to ask?"

Boyce thought of his own problem, his earlobe felt a little hot, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.

"Do you have a rut?"

The mermaid's tail slapped on the lifting platform with a "snap". He looked at Boyce, and a thought came to his mind, which was quickly vetoed by himself: Did he ask this question because he wanted to spend the estrus with me?

Boyce subconsciously stared at Garcia, hoping that his answer would be no, but Garcia nodded.

"I've had it since I met you."

There is a hint of hint in Garcia's words: "It will only exist for you."

The mermaid looked over with anticipation, Boyce subconsciously looked away, forgetting what else he wanted to ask, put the chocolate in the mermaid's palm, and left the breeding room in a panic.

……

Boyce washed his face with cold water. Compared with humans, mermaids are more straightforward.

This mermaid obviously doesn't have any love for her, but she can say things that make people blush.

next spring...

Boyce counted the time, and suddenly came up with an idea, compared to when the mermaid was in heat, it would be great if he could send the mermaid back to the sea before then...

On the other side, Garcia opened the paper wrapped in chocolate, revealing a small black piece inside, a faint sweet smell poured into the nostrils, and it seemed to have a slight bitter taste, Garcia looked at the small black piece , I remembered the black and bitter fish when I was curious about trying cooked food for the first time.

Garcia frowned subconsciously. Perhaps humans seem to like this kind of strange food?

But for the mermaid, the meaning of sharing food for the first time by humans exceeds the taste of the food, so Garcia put it in his mouth even though he was not hopeful about the taste of this dark thing.

is sweet...

And a light layer of slightly bitter, just right to relieve the sweetness in the mouth.

……

Boyce soon ran out of time to contemplate Garcia's shadowless rut.

Ivy disappeared on the day the logistics ship arrived. The Institute has many speculations about his disappearance. The most widely circulated is that he sneaked away when the logistics ship arrived.

Beuys would have liked that to be true.

The research institute also began to investigate the reason for Aiwei's disappearance. The result of the investigation was that Aiwei didn't want to stay in the institute, so he took this opportunity to leave.

Boyce vaguely felt that something was wrong, but before he had time to think about Ivy's disappearance, Cyril began to urge the progress of the medicine.

Olier took advantage of the logistics ship and asked them to send the new drug to the investors, and the effect of the new drug was exactly the same as the new drug that Boyce and the others were researching.

The investors were very satisfied with the effect of the new medicine, and in the new news, they vaguely revealed that Olier would take over as the next director of the research institute.

After the news spread, the members of Cyril's group were not very good-looking.

"Do you all know about the new medicine that Olier and his team are researching?" A few days ago, they were still talking about not knowing what kind of medicine Olier and his team were researching, but they found out in a blink of an eye. , Their medicine coincided with that of their own team.

How could it be such a coincidence, Olier and his team hadn't studied for a few days before they came up with results, which happened to coincide with the direction of their own team.

"No wonder they were secretive before!" A researcher was a little annoyed.

Listening to their discussion, Boyce guessed that some insiders were not upset that the experimental results were stolen, so he listened and did not speak.

"Beuys, don't you have anything to say?" One of the researchers asked Boyce.

"Who is Olier's medicine for?" Boyce was more concerned about this question.

And, time is running out, and the news of the new drug has to be concealed. On whom did Olier test the new drug first?

"I heard that the new medicine was used on the old Patriarch..." The current Patriarch is very satisfied with the effect of the new medicine on the old Patriarch, and before sending the new medicine over, Olier will naturally not forget to give it to the old Patriarch. conduct experiment.

"Didn't you find out that Laurie is very important to Olier recently?" Laurie has indeed been taken by Olier's side recently. Boyce talked about this with Matthew a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to be because of this. .

"They actually experimented on human bodies so early, so they don't worry about accidents?" The speaker just finished speaking, and suddenly remembered that Olier and the others did not conduct enough experiments on human bodies in the early stage, but their team had already done a lot .

"Do we still need to continue?" One of the researchers asked in frustration.

Two groups are doing the same research, and one group has already submitted the results in advance. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't make much sense for the other group to continue researching.

"Wait for Professor Cyril's notification." Boyce was silent for a moment, swallowing the truth that came to his lips.

In the afternoon, Professor Cyril gathered everyone together for a meeting because of this incident.

"Although Olier and the others were the first to send the potion up, our research in this area is earlier than theirs, so we may not be as good as them..."

Listening to Professor Cyril's words of encouragement, the members of the group cheered up: "The professor is right!"

Boyce put his hands in his pockets and lowered his eyes. Professor Cyril did not mention that what Olier and the others took away was only the formula of z-Ⅲ that had a major error.

On the way back, Boyce ran into Laurie.

Because of the new medicine, his brows and eyes were full of pride.

Boyce sized him up subconsciously, because z-Ⅲ had obvious side effects, so the new version of the medicine developed later was still waiting for the second phase of the experiment, and had not been tested on humans.

As for z-Ⅲ, no one knows what kind of side effects it will have on the human body.

Boyce still has some impressions of the contents of the drafts. The contents of the lost drafts can mislead people in another direction. According to the time, they should not have had time to discover the defects of the medicine before.

"I heard that you are also researching new medicines?" Probably because he felt that everything was settled, Laurie's face showed a bit of arrogance, "You are a step late, we have already sent the new medicines."

After finishing speaking, he seemed to still feel that it was not enough, and continued to speak with a triumphant tone: "The news of the new drug has been spread by investors, and some customers have already placed deposits. However, these have nothing to do with you."

Boyce looked at Laurie without anger, but with a trace of pity in his eyes.

Recalling what Laurie said, the news that the new drug was developed has been spread by the investors.

Boyce thought, is this the opportunity that Professor Cyril is waiting for?

Under normal circumstances, the research institute would send people to pick up the medicine at the end of each month, before the next month to pick up the new medicine, it would be enough for the hidden dangers of z-5 to fully erupt.

And Olier, who made such a big mistake, naturally couldn't stay in the position of director of the research institute.

As for the successor...

Boyce paused, and Professor Cyril's face flashed in his mind.

……

early morning.

A communication suddenly sounded on the special communication channel of the institute.

A trace of disbelief flashed across the face of the person who connected to the communication, and his voice trembled: "Hello, may I ask you..."

A familiar voice sounded from the other side: "It's me..."
