Wen Yu patrolled the slums for a day, but found no suspicious traces.
He reported the situation to Dr. Mu Ran, saying that it was getting late and he should go back, and by the way, how to arrange tomorrow.
Dr. Muran thought for a while and said:
"If there is still no trace tomorrow, forget it."
This surprised Wen Yu a little:
"Aren't you afraid that more people will die?"
"Those are people from the ghetto."
Dr. Mu Ran seemed more surprised that Wen Yu would ask such a question,
"Those people are poor, disabled, and have never been better educated. The probability of a genius emerging from a poor area is one-tenth of the probability of a genius emerging from a rich area. They have no contribution to this doomsday at all. I Why worry about them?"
With such a remark, Wen Yu couldn't help but remain silent.
Forget it, these are human's own affairs after all, Wen Yu didn't want to express an opinion, so he asked:
"and then?"
"Then? Then of course, focus on the other murloc that escaped."
Dr Muran said,
"If one murloc is in a poor area, then the other must be in a rich area. Of course we have security measures in the rich area, but who knows if there will be any accidents—
For example, the murloc who sneaked into the rich district happened to appear and just killed a councilor or a scientist in a certain field.
The death of these people may change the future of the entire Survivor Alliance.
As for whether the two murlocs will succeed in building a nest, Wen Yu, who is part of Nat, naturally knows the result—
They will not succeed.
But driven by instinct, those two murlocs would keep trying to build a nest, and even think about procreating offspring, even if they found nothing in the end.
After all, they are failed experiments.
"If it's okay, I'll go back first."
Wen Yu was not at all curious about what Dr. Mu Ran was planning. After saying this, he left directly.
This sentence is to inform, not to ask for advice.
Dr. Mu Ran watched Wen Yu leave with a smile.
After Wen Yu left, the corners of Dr. Mu Ran's smiling lips suddenly collapsed. He turned his head and looked at the assistant beside him. His brown eyes suddenly became sharp behind the black-rimmed glasses:
"How about it?"
"We have already arranged surveillance cameras near Colonel Wen Yu's villa, and are trying to break in."
The assistant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said,
"But the protection of the villa is too strong, and Colonel Wen Yu's perception is first-rate, so we haven't been able to get in yet."
Dr. Muran sneered:
"Then what's the use for you?"
"Yes, yes!"
The assistant stuttered in fright. He knew that if he didn't have any useful information, he might be expelled from the "human" race by Dr. Mu Ran in the next second, so he hurriedly made amends.
"It's like this. We found out that Wen Yu brought a batch of fish back to the villa. We collected the traces of those fish from the car he used to carry. We have learned that those fish came from the deep sea and are a species. Very rare fish."
"fish?"
Dr. Muran was thoughtful.
Naturally, he thought of the previous auction house telling them that they had caught a white mermaid.
Are these fish specially used to feed mermaids
"interesting."
Dr. Mu Ran thought of the lump of meat that was still being studied by them in the laboratory, and couldn't help laughing:
"Notify the scientific research team over there to get some of these fish when they come back this time."
"Yes."
Seeing Dr. Muran's relaxed expression, the assistant let out a long sigh of relief.
…
villa.
Lance woke up from the cocoon in a daze. He opened his eyes and subconsciously looked up at the water, only to find that it was already dark.
How long has he slept? Why didn't Wen Yu come to ask him to eat
Lance thought about these questions, lost all sleepiness, and immediately swam out of the cocoon.
Now, after several times of nesting, Lance's cocoon has almost been built, leaving only a small opening on the top of his head.
This small mouth is only enough for Lance to swim out of the cocoon by himself, and Lance is going to seal the cocoon in one go today.
Time waits for no one, Lance is eager to evolve, of course the sooner the better.
When Lance swam to the surface of the water, he realized that it was really dark, and judging by the absence of any lights in the villa, Wen Yu was not in the villa.
Where is Wen Yu going? Why don't you come back
Lance was thinking about this question. He could only guess that the things that kept Wen Yu from coming back for so long must be of great significance.
Forget it, Wen Yu already had an official title, so it would be strange if he was here all the time.
Lance ignored the unhappiness in his heart. He sat by the pool and turned on a screen that Carl had put here before to check the time, but unexpectedly found that he had slept for a day and a night.
Why did you sleep for so long this time
Lance couldn't help frowning.
He still remembered that Wen Yu once told him that he must not be hungry, and since he hadn't eaten anything for such a long time, Lance was afraid that he would fall into madness again.
By the way, where is the little octopus
Even if Wen Yu wasn't there, the little octopus should be there.
Lance lay on the edge of the pool and looked into the water, only to see a small octopus on the underwater reef—
It stuck to the reef, even though Lance made such a big noise, the little octopus still didn't wake up.
Lance looked at the little octopus and couldn't help but tilt his head.
He now has a problem.
Although Wen Yu explained to him that he and the little octopus were in a community, Lance found that Wen Yu would never appear at the same time as his "community", that is, the little octopus.
It's like having only one soul and consciousness, but traveling between different bodies.
But because there is only one soul and consciousness, when one vest is inside, the other vest will go offline.
Thinking of this, Lance couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
This situation... How does it feel that it can be applied to Wenser
You must know that for a period of time, Wenser was also restless and drowsy, and Wenser explained to him that he was "assimilating".
"Assimilation" of what? Could it be that Wenser, like Wen Yu, has a symbiosis like a little octopus
Before Lance could continue to think, his stomach made an empty growl.
Now Lance didn't dare to think that there was nothing left. He looked up at the dark villa with a worried expression.
It looks like I have to do it myself.
Half an hour later, the villa was brightly lit.
The moment Wen Yu returned to his villa, he looked at the villa emitting warm lights, his expression blank for a moment.
Someone from his house
And when he stepped into the house, all the doubts in his heart disappeared when he saw Lance busy in the kitchen.
Standing at the door of the kitchen, Wen Yu looked at the white mermaid in the kitchen, and couldn't help but burst out laughing—
There is no other reason, seeing the white mermaid busy in front of the stove, such a scene is really too dreamy.
Although Wen Yu had watched Lance cook in the video Carl gave him before, seeing it with his own eyes and seeing it in the video were completely different things.
He knew that Lance must have obtained the password of the villa long ago, but he did not expect that Lance would be so familiar with everything in the villa.
Compared with the last time, this time when the white mermaid was busy, she even wore a small white apron that she found somewhere.
From Wen Yu's point of view, he can only see the smooth and white back of the white mermaid who is busy cooking at the stove, with only one or two cloth straps hanging on it...
Sin, sin, just looking at the upper body, this scene is indeed very reminiscent of a scene that is not suitable for children.
After Wen Yu laughed, the ear fins of the white mermaid who was busy cooking moved. He turned his head and saw Wen Yu standing at the door, and said angrily:
[Go and change your shoes, we will have dinner later.]
Hearing this, Wen Yu blinked and joked:
"Isn't that what wives say to their husbands when they come home from get off work?"
Lance sneered:
[This is me who is extremely hungry, complaining to the owner.]
Wen Yu: "..."
The whole thing was indeed that he was a little unkind.
Seeing Wen Yu go to change his shoes obediently, Lance turned his head back, looked at the bunch of vegetables in the pot, and seriously stir-fried them a few times with a spatula.
However, in fact, Lance's eyes gradually became dull.
He didn't know how things came to this point.
According to Lance's plan, he simply made fish soup at first to feed himself, so as not to attack Wen Yu who came back from starvation, or to eat the cute little octopus directly.
In the end, when he came to the kitchen and saw the dishes in the refrigerator, Lance began to think about whether to add more dishes for himself.
So he washed some vegetables by the way.
After washing a few vegetables, Lance decided to cook more, so he simply prepared two servings.
But while cooking, Lance thought of splashing oil on his body (especially now that the mermaid's body is naked and afraid of fire), so he went to see if there was an apron in the kitchen.
Then Lance accidentally turned over a rice cooker while looking for the apron.
Lance thought seriously for a moment.
He scoured two bowls of rice and put them in the rice cooker.
He wasn't worried about whether Wen Yu had eaten yet!
Anyway, it was just cooking fish soup for himself, Lance never expected that he would even make Wen Yu's dinner by the way.
So, when did I have the hobby of feeding others
Lance thought about it dejectedly as he laid out his chopsticks and bowl.
A few minutes later, Lance and Wen Yu sat at the dining table together.
One person and one mermaid waited in full force, sitting upright, as if in front of them was not some home-cooked food, but a full banquet of Han and Chinese.
There were only three dishes on the table, one with green leafy vegetables, one with stir-fried eggplant, and one with fried fish that was almost invisible.
Wen Yu coughed lightly and asked:
"Can I eat it?"
Lance nodded solemnly.
He pointed to the plate of fish on the table, trying to save himself a little bit of face:
[Try this fish, it doesn't look good, but it's still edible.]
Wen Yu was silent.
Fish black as carbon? The fish should have been white.
He couldn't help but began to wonder, the last time he grilled fish was the same, why his little fish always kept feeding him the carbon-shaped fish.
Lance just said it, and then he immediately buried himself in eating his fish soup.
If he didn't eat fish soup, he was afraid that he would jump on the table and treat Wen Yu as a big meal.
However, this was the first time that Lance and Wen Yu ate together at the same table.
One person and one mermaid sat face to face on the chairs. Only in this way did Lance find a trace of human feeling, and then he thought that he should be at the same level as Wen Yu.
After eating for a while, Lance looked up and found that Wen Yu hadn't touched his chopsticks. He was a little curious:
[are you not hungry?]
Although these dishes don't look very good, they are really good to eat.
Wen Yu nodded, he raised his head and looked at Lance with gentle eyes:
"I can't bear to eat."
Lance:? ?
"This is the meal you cooked for me."
Wen Yu didn't know why he was so petty now.
In Wen Yu's memory, his dinner was very simple, usually a bottle of nutritional supplements.
Everyone, including himself, took this solution for granted.
Convenience, efficiency, as long as you can survive.
After assimilation, with Wenser's memory, Wen Yu didn't even realize that it was a bit strange, and continued to use nutrients to maintain physical activity.
And use the kitchen just to make fish soup for Lance.
The process of making fish soup is not complicated, and most of the work can be left to the machine.
As for the stir-fry that Lance is cooking now, at least several steps must be taken—
Choose vegetables, wash, fry and season.
Lance is willing to spend his time for him. Does this mean that Lance actually likes him very much
Even with this body and his current identity as Wen Yu, Wen Yu still couldn't help but burn his face slightly because of his thoughts.
Sometimes, he would be madly jealous between his two identities, but sometimes he was extremely happy that no matter who he liked, Lance liked him in the end.
This feeling of contradiction once made Wen Yu's heart sour and sweet, and he didn't know what to do.
Is this love
Wen Yu began to think about this question seriously.
Now, upon hearing Wen Yu's words, even Lance, who had always been dull, saw pink bubbles floating nearby.
[Enough, don't think too much!]
As soon as Lance reached out and started to pat the table, he hurriedly changed the subject,
[Wen Yu, what are you doing out today?]
Wen Yu woke up from his weird thoughts. He glanced at Lance with an unclear expression:
"You know, humans have been trying to fuse sea monster genes with human genes, right?"
Lance looked shocked.
He does know, is the laboratory still doing it
"Yes, the experiment is still going on in the laboratory."
Wen Yu saw Lance's expression and knew what Lance was thinking.
"Recently, two experimental subjects escaped and caused a little trouble."
After a pause, Wen Yu added:
"Those two experimental subjects are trying to build a nest just like you."
[Are they mermaids?]
Lance was a little curious, [Why do you call them experimental subjects instead of mermaids?]
Wen Yu shook his head and said:
"In the eyes of humans, mermaids are more or less similar, so the word 'human' is placed in front, and those experimental subjects... They are pure beasts."
Hearing this, Lance wagged his tail in frustration.
He thought that he would have a few more people from the same race who had experienced the same experience as him.
[Wen Yu, I'm about to finish building a nest.]
Now that it's about building a nest, Lance feels that it's necessary to tell Wen Yu, [Tonight, I will seal myself in completely.]
Wen Yu looked up and was taken aback for a moment.
Lance smiled at Wen Yu and said:
[I don't know how long I will stay in the cocoon this time, and I don't know what I will look like after I get out of the cocoon.]
He lowered his head, glanced at the dishes on the table, and sighed:
[At least, this table of dishes is all I can do for you in the last moment as Lance.]
Lance vaguely noticed that his body and mind were gradually moving closer to the beast. As a human memory, it basically has no effect in this world fifty years later. Therefore, Lance was quite afraid that after he finished building his nest, he would be Forget everything about being human.
"You won't forget."
After listening to Lance's confession, Wen Yu's attitude was extremely firm.
[why?]
Seeing that Wen Yu was so determined, Lance was very curious, [Since it is evolution, it will definitely give up some things.]
Now in the process of building his nest, he would sometimes be controlled by instinct, lose his mind, and think about drowning Wen Yu.
"You will remember me."
Wen Yu said this very stubbornly,
"I will be your coordinates."
[This sentence... is really...]
After a while, Lance couldn't help muttering to himself, and finally said, [Weird.]
But at the same time, his ear fins quietly turned red.
