[Additional task 2: Prevent Depson from spreading mutant genes.]
Hearing the system's voice, Shang Ke felt a shiver all over his body, and the last round of the death mission was also released.
Stop Depson from spreading mutated genes? What mutated gene? Does the system dare to give some hints
[System prompt: Depson's mutant gene can forcibly assimilate humans into other creatures, which is irreversible. Attached is a Depson variant image—(:◎)≡, please pay attention to anti-absorption, anti-hand and anti-spray.]
Shang Ke: "… "
Seeing Depson's mutated appearance, Shang Ke couldn't believe that the squid with soft tentacles was actually Depson. How cruel is this person to do this kind of experiment on himself
According to the species, it should be a king squid. As far as he knew, the king squid was a powerful being who dared to fight the sperm whale. However, the king squid is huge, even a juvenile, it is more than 3 meters, and Depson's variant seems to be only about 30 cm. Has he practiced bone shrinking
While Shang Ke was thinking about it, Qin Yuan walked over with a gloomy expression, his body still carrying a chill that had not subsided.
"What's wrong?" Shang Ke asked.
"It's all right." Qin Yuan sat on the edge of the bed and helped him brush his hair, his frown slightly stretched.
Shang Ke paused for a moment, then asked, "Is there something wrong with Depson?"
"It's okay." Qin Yuan didn't want to worry about the flames, so he didn't tell him the truth for the time being. This time, he was negligent. Unexpectedly, Depson transformed his genes into other creatures and successfully escaped.
From the material left over from him, it is preliminarily estimated that he may have assimilated the genes of some kind of mollusk, and the specific species needs to be tested to know.
Shang Ke found that no matter how the appearance and identity of the man in front of him changed, his essence had not changed. He was now able to accurately guess his emotions through the subtle expressions and body language on his face. Judging from his performance at the moment, he must have met the human-faced squid, otherwise he would not have revealed murderous intent in front of him simply because he didn't catch anyone.
Shang Ke thought about it for a while, and felt it was necessary to remind him: "Qin Yuan, dolphin genes cannot be forcibly genetically modified. This kind of modification is irreversible. If someone spreads it, it may cause unforeseen consequences."
"Irreversible?" Qin Yuan hurriedly said, "You mean that this transformation is one-way, and once it is transformed into other creatures, it can never be transformed back into a human?"
"Yes." Shang Ke nodded.
Qin Yuan showed a look of contemplation. After a while, he got up and said, "Flame, rest well, I'll see you later."
Below a certain sea area, Depson, who had transformed into a squid, had a distorted face, twitching all over his body, his eyes the size of copper bells were bloodshot, and his mouth let out a painful and angry low roar.
He was horrified to find that he could no longer transform, and could only maintain the appearance of a squid. He can't accept this reality, his pursuit and ambition will become Shuiyuejinghua, and it will never be realized again.
"Ow—" Depson let out an unwilling roar, and the water waves shook, scaring the fish and shrimp around him to flee.
After a while, Depson stopped roaring, and a trace of mad hatred flashed in his eyes: Qin Yuan, this is all thanks to you! You wait, I will never let you go!
Shang Ke in the sanatorium seemed to have heard something, and looked out the window, feeling a little uneasy...
Qin Yuan obtained the test results of experts and determined that the creature assimilated by Depson was the king squid. He ordered the guards to be on the alert for any squid-like creatures, and to catch them as soon as they were spotted. At the same time, he sent someone to expel all the squid in the waters near the aquarium.
This move aroused strong dissatisfaction with Hailang. Its favorite food is squid. Watching humans use fishing nets to take the squid away one by one, it bit the net and refused to let them take its food.
The only flame that can control the waves is not there, and no one else in the aquarium can do anything about it.
They did not find that a squid was hiding in the coral, "it" shrinks its body to the size of the mouth of a bowl, and its skin color is also integrated with the surrounding coral.
"Ocean waves." Qin Yuan stood on the shore and shouted to the troubled waves, "Let go of the fishing nets, these squid will be yours in the future, don't worry."
The waves hummed, just wouldn't let go.
Qin Yuan said again: "If you don't let go, I will never take you to see the flames again."
Hearing the word "flame", Hailang reluctantly let go, and then glared at Qin Yuan: "You have to keep your word, or I'll tell the flame.
Qin Yuan looked at its smiling face and did not feel any deterrence at all.
While Qin Yuan was paying attention to the activities of the staff, a tentacle quietly protruded from the water, climbed to the ground, and slowly stretched out to Qin Yuan's feet.
Qin Yuan only felt his ankle tighten, and then his whole body was dragged into the water by the tentacles, making a loud thud.
Hailang was the first to hear the movement, and immediately turned over and dived underwater, only to see Qin Yuan being dragged into the depths of the water by a tentacle. It quickly kept up, followed by other lifeguards who spotted the situation.
Qin Yuan held his breath, took out the dagger from behind his waist, turned over and slashed at the tentacle, breaking it into two sections, and suddenly sprayed out a cloud of blood. However, before he could swim up, two tentacles stretched out in the dark, one wrapped around his waist and the other bound his hands, making him unable to break free.
The oxygen in the chest and abdomen became less and less, and Qin Yuan felt a dizziness in his brain.
At this moment, the waves rushed over and bit the tentacle that was wrapping Qin Yuan.
Its eyes are shining, and the smell seems to be squid! It then bit harder, and soon helped Qin Yuan bite off the tentacle that encircled his waist.
When the lifeguards who followed, saw that President Qin's situation was in crisis, they stepped forward to help, but they were thrown away by a strong force just as they approached. Then, I saw a huge squid sticking its head out of the water. His body is more than ten meters long, and on his cylindrical head, there is an extremely distorted human face, and two huge eyes are inlaid, and the green light flashes in the water.
The lifeguards around were all stunned, not knowing how to react for a while.
In fact, they don't need to react, because the human-faced squid has already moved ahead, and its long tentacles are like whips, knocking all the lifeguards flying. The powerful force made them lose their ability to move in an instant, and only a few people still supported and sent a distress signal to the top.
Hailang was also startled by the human-faced squid, but when he saw that everyone else was thrown away, he rushed up to avenge them, but a tentacle was suddenly thrown from the side and slammed into its place. on the body.
The waves wailed and retreated again and again, which made them feel a little scared. It saw that Qin Yuan was entangled in the tentacles, struggling more and more weakly, and couldn't help rushing out of the water, making a series of sharp calls for help.
Qin Yuan once again used the dagger to break free from the entanglement of the human-faced squid, but underwater, his movements were greatly restricted, and he couldn't escape those tentacles at all.
His body became sluggish due to lack of oxygen, and his vision became more and more blurred. Just as he was about to lose consciousness, a familiar figure quickly swam towards him.
The call for help from the waves was immediately received by Shang Ke. He ignored the injuries on his body, put on a pair of pajamas on his gloves, and rushed out of the room. Under the surprised eyes of the staff outside, he jumped towards the water outlet and swam to the outer waters as quickly as a fish.
With his movements, the bandage on his body oozes blood, and he can't control it, his figure is as fast as lightning, leaving a white wave in the water.
But in the blink of an eye, he came to the water where the waves were, and saw Qin Yuan was entangled by a human-faced squid, and the dagger in his hand was powerless to fall.
Qin Yuan!
Shang Ke rushed over quickly, caught the dagger, and cut it hard at the tentacles of the human-faced squid. When he was in pain, he rescued Qin Yuan, then hugged his waist, and went upstream while giving him air.
Qin Yuan slowly opened his eyes and looked at the person in his arms softly, but when he caught a glimpse of the blood mist spreading from his waist, his eyes immediately showed a look of anger.
The two looked at each other silently in the water, silently exchanging care and worry for each other. Just as the two were about to emerge from the water, Qin Yuan suddenly felt that his arms were empty, and the next moment he saw the flames being dragged far away by a tentacle. The strength of the tight contraction completely ruptured the wound that was about to heal on the flame, and a large blood mist filled the water.
Qin Yuan's eyes were red, and he chased after Shang Ke desperately.
At the same time as him, there are waves.
However, before they got close, they were thrown away by the tentacles of the human-faced squid.
Qin Yuan only felt that the blood in his body was surging, as if it was about to explode. The waves also screamed in anger, rushing towards the human-faced squid again and again.
Shang Ke, who was tightly entangled in the tentacles, groaned in pain, looking at the ugly face that became clearer and clearer, he spat out his name word by word: "Dai, Pu, Sen!"
A weird smile appeared on Depson's face, as if he was admiring the embarrassment that they were struggling to survive.
"Don't be too happy, fake goods will never be as good as the original." A cold light flashed in Shang Ke's eyes, and at the same time, a faint white mist began to appear on his body.
Depson knew that this was a harbinger of transformation, so how could he make him wish? Several tentacles shot towards the white mist, but they didn't expect that the tentacles began to show signs of transformation at the moment of contact with the white mist.
"Finally, let me tell you one more thing, dolphins are the natural enemies of squid." Shang Ke's voice disappeared in the white fog.
Depson hurriedly pulled out his tentacles and stared at the gradually forming white cocoon in front of him in disbelief.
A few dozen seconds later, the white cocoon was fogged, and a nearly two-meter dolphin shot out of the white fog and slammed into Depson's eyes.
Depson was in pain and leaned back.
The giant squid transformed by human beings cannot compare with the real giant squid at all. However, if Depson is willing to forbear for a while, after he is fully familiar with his body, there is probably no creature in the entire ocean that can compete with him, the king squid with human wisdom. Coupled with the gene mutation technology he has mastered, it is enough to create a powerful monster army. At that time, the future of mankind will be changed because of him. Although he takes the villain route, it just fits his crazy character and great pursuit of anti-humanity.
It's a pity that after he mutated, the first thing that came to his mind was not to try his best to become a super villain, but to come to settle his personal grievance impatiently.
Shang Ke escaped the tentacle's attack, swam over Depson, and bit its sharpened head.
Depson's tentacles danced wildly and slapped Shang Ke vigorously, but he couldn't let him go. Blood flowed from the wound, causing Depson to howl in pain.
The water waves violently vibrated, the sand and stones rolled, and the originally clear water became turbid.
Shang Ke's purpose was not to kill Depson, but to delay time. He knew that Qin Yuan would soon bring someone to rescue him, and the longer he dragged on, the better the odds of winning. This is also a helpless choice. He is seriously injured and unable to carry out a flexible and effective attack. He can only use Grandpa Turtle's move and hold on to it.
Tentacles slapped him on his body, leaving shocking whip marks. The bones in his body seemed to be shattered, but Shang Ke's teeth were still firmly embedded in Depson's flesh and blood.
Shang Ke's consciousness gradually blurred, the pain seemed to be numb, and the tears in his eyes rolled into the sea.
Hold on for a while, hold on for a while...
flame!
There seemed to be Qin Yuan's anxious call in his ears. Shang Ke tried his best to wake himself up. His eyes passed through the turbid sea water, and he saw dozens of figures swimming towards him. Which one...is Qin Yuan
Blood seeped from Shang Ke's eyes, turning his world into blood red.
Qin Yuan looked at the flames with blood and blood in his eyes, and his heart was so painful that he could hardly breathe.
He held his gun and fired frantically at Depson.
Damn, damn, damn!
There was hatred in his eyes and a crazy expression on his face.
Depson was shot into a sieve, the sea water was dyed red with blood, and the huge body began to shrink, gradually shrinking from a dozen meters to tens of centimeters.
Shang Ke's mouth loosened, and his body slowly fell to the bottom of the water.
Qin Yuan threw down the gun, rushed to Shang Ke's side quickly, hugged his riddled body, and burst into tears.
Several lifeguards stepped forward to assist Qin Yuan in bringing Shang Ke to the surface. The waves circled anxiously around them, whimpering in their mouths.
"Flame, flame!" Qin Yuan kept calling. However, the flame in his arms was silent.
He lay quietly on the ground, with almost no intact skin on his body. His vertebrae were fractured, and several of them penetrated the surface of his body. The tragic scene made everyone present couldn't bear to watch.
A lifeguard checked for a while, looked at Qin Yuan and hesitated, but in the end he didn't say anything, just sighed.
Flame, dead.
