"boom-"

The loud sound pierced Ryan's bloody eardrum, and could almost echo in his skull. The bullet swooped out of the barrel and hit the merman's shoulder—it moved so agilely that Ryan initially aimed at the center of its forehead.

The bullet sent a streak of blue blood out, but it didn't do any real damage...but it was clearly enraged.

It suddenly raised its head and grinned at Ryan. The face that was originally as perfect as a Greek statue seemed to be split up and down with the lips as the boundary. It was almost grinning to the lips below the earlobe. A row A row of fine sharp teeth flashed a cold light.

Ryan was overthrown by an invisible and strong force.

His vision was enveloped by a burst of white light, and his ears and eyes were aching as if burned by fire. His body seemed to fall to the ground, but his confused consciousness couldn't judge this very well at all. A hot liquid shot out of his throat.

It's an infrasonic attack.

Simon watched helplessly as Ryan fell like a rag sack, shaking like an epilepsy on the ground. He also fell down after a very short period of time, but his tolerance was better than Ryan's. At least he could keep his consciousness from passing out. The effect of crushing pain.

"Siren" looked a little weaker after the attack, the blue blood did not stop flowing, the wound on the shoulder obviously caused a lot of trouble for it to climb out of the cocoon, it can only use one Only claws to immobilize yourself to climb out.

The cocoon that forms in the aquarium doesn't follow the laws of nature, it's a little too small, and the siren...

Simon struggled to open his blurred eyes, enduring the severe pain and thinking desperately in his head. The size of this mermaid should actually be more than three meters - it's a huge monster, and at this time most of its tail is stuck in the cocoon shell, the scales that are not in contact with the air cannot be hardened normally, and at the same time it itself It also makes it difficult to move.

The only attacks it can make are infrasound waves, but it can be seen that it cannot achieve continuous attacks.

As a mermaid in the process of breaking its cocoon, this short period of time is its only fragile time, although its "fragility" is still terrifying to the extreme for two ordinary human beings.

Simon bit his lip hard, and he felt blood oozing from his ears... Of course, it could also be brains or something, but he felt like he was about to split right from the center right now.

In this state he crawls slowly towards the wall, which is standard with all biological containment rooms, an automatic locking weapon system for emergency situations.

In fact, in the initial plan, Ryan should have restrained the mermaid, and Simon turned on the weapon system, and the two cooperated to smash the damn thing, but the cocooned test body has indeed exceeded everyone. expected.

It can easily kill everyone, including Simon and Ryan, as long as it can crawl out.

That strong sense of despair permeated Simon's heart again, but he did not stop his movements, even if he got up not much faster than a snail now.

"Siren" noticed Simon's movements almost at the same time, its blood-red eyes stared at the embarrassed human, and the yellow-black pattern printed on the wall not far from the human. It opened its mouth again, but failed to emit any infrasonic waves, and some high-frequency screams sounded like warnings.

From time to time Simon turned his head to observe it out of the corner of his eye.

It opened its teeth and danced its claws, and its claws easily cut holes one after another in the steel floor, and it wanted to come over.

Simon's blood-stained face showed an expression that seemed to be crying instead of crying, and smiling instead of laughing. He grimaced at the crazy monster that looked like a cat whose tail had been stomped on.

I can do it, I can do it, God, I can do it.

He was almost close to reaching the control panel, but at this moment, his legs felt a sudden numbness.

It was as if all of a sudden, his lower body was completely detached from his own body.

Simon twisted his body like a ghost, thank God, his legs were still attached to his body, but a silver thread-like thing was wrapped around his ankle.

Oh no, God, you can't do this to me.

Simon almost wanted to scream.

He recognized what it was right away, it was hair, the hair of "Siren".

No, the correct way to say it is, it's the hair-like tentacles of the merman.

Simon knew it, and although this thin hair-like thing was unusually similar to hair in appearance, it was actually fundamentally different. They are all living cells, densely packed with nerves and poison glands.

That special toxin can easily melt an elephant into a puddle of viscous and easily absorbed food liquid in an instant - now this one has just broken its cocoon, and the poison glands have not yet fully developed, but it is also easy for Simon to lose it. The most important thing about the perception of the lower body is that the numbness is still spreading upwards.

Simon looked at the merman in despair.

The latter tilted his head and split his mouth at him.

A grimace.

The merman... the monster... it made a face at Simon.

A kind of fear that seemed to freeze even his soul almost filled Simon's whole body. He had a very vague perception that perhaps the monster in front of him was not just a powerful sea creature like their previous research had shown.

It may have some kind of wisdom.

And now, the grimacing face it showed to Simon was full of the arrogance and ruthlessness that a superior creature had when it faced its prey. It was like a giant spider dragging its food, slowly paralyzing it. The fallen Simon pulled in his direction.

Simon scratched the ground with his hands in fear, and two nails fell off, but his body was still moving involuntarily.

I'm dying-

I'm dying-

I'm dying-

I'm dying-

I'm dying-

I'm dying-

For a while, Simon's consciousness had and only this message was surging frantically.

"boom-"

Until a gunshot rang out, he woke up as if he had woken up from a nightmare.

The shell fell to the ground with a crisp echo.

Ryan was lying on the ground with a pale face, holding a gun crookedly in his hand. He hit it right this time. A dark blue hole appeared in the center of the merman's forehead. The bullet was stuck in its solid skull. Blue blood spurted out of that wound. scream.

"I... said... I can do..."

Lane said hoarsely in the scream of the monster.

Simon laughed at him like a cry, and then he climbed to the control panel and turned on the weapon system.

Ten minutes later, the MK-6 laser and a large number of bullets turned the mermaid into a mashed flesh in a roar of pain. Its body was laser cut into equal pieces, and all wounds were carbonized to avoid even the smallest chance of self-healing.

A burst of white noise like an electric current running through a radio overflowed the throat of the pure white head, and its blood-red eyes dimmed.

The man-made biological weapon that was almost a masterpiece is finally dead.

Simon leaned against the wall weakly, and the numbness spread to his chest. He laboriously raised his middle finger towards the mermaid.

"Have the ability... cough... do this..."

He cried and laughed at the pile of white meat.

"Lane, Ryan we did it. Damn... we did it... we got it out..."

He continued speaking to Lane.

Then he found Ryan lying quietly on the ground, silent as if he had fallen asleep, quiet and silent.

"… "

Simon's voice seemed to be cut off suddenly by an invisible knife.

Silence spreads in this blood-sweet space.

Simon stayed there in silence, feeling the pain in his body sparkling like a spark, but gradually he could barely feel the pain.

Life is being lost.

Simon gasped for breath, raised his hand and pressed the weapon system on the control panel.

This time he aimed at the two "cocoons" that had not yet hatched.

However…

Simon, who was ready to die quietly, fell to the side in shock after the last two cocoons were cut by the laser.

He couldn't believe his eyes.

He wanted to confirm it himself.

Yet he couldn't move even the slightest.

No, not possible.

It can't be so...

absolute…

In the two "cocoons" cut by the laser, the two mermaids that should have existed, but only some sticky mucus exists.

A few silvery-white skeletal fragments were scattered on the back of the cocoon. There are obvious signs of external force tearing on the blind spot of the line of sight that can only be found by completely cutting the cocoon.

From beginning to end, the two mermaids were unsuccessful in cocooning—because they were dragged out and eaten by something before they cocooned.

Simon shivered and his eyes fell on the back of the petri dish, a place he and Ryan had not noticed before.

The metal plate there was corroded by a large amount of highly corrosive liquid, and a black hole appeared like a hell.

The blue blood that remained after swallowing the mermaid was sprinkled directly on the edge of the black hole like the crumbs left by the fairy.

"That thing" escaped.

After eating the cocooned merman and leaving the last one as a cover, it managed to escape.

Simon felt that his face close to the ground was becoming cold and stiff. He couldn't even close his eyes, he could only stare at everything in front of him, and his mind gradually became blurred.

At the last moment when complete darkness descended, he suddenly remembered something, something that had been considered a joke by everyone before.

They say that there is another secret laboratory under the secret laboratory of SIREN-II, where Deep White is making a new type of biological weapon based on the siren.

They implanted human DNA into the siren, creating a special creature that could perfectly transform between native species, modified species and human form.

And that's not nonsense... Simon thought, and fell into the dark and heavy chaos.

U.S.

Kansas

"No no no—no way!"

Rand screamed at the aquarium.

That strange thing... Let's think of it as Munster's thing, trying to get out of the aquarium.

Rand didn't realize until this point that it had something like a suction cup on its claws.

Its head was almost pushed up against the buoyant lid of the aquarium, and Rand felt goosebumps crawling all over his body. He shouted and tried to push it back, but accidentally touched the two tentacles on top of its head.

Oh, that feeling...

Rand felt that if he had hair he would have exploded all over his body like a frightened cat.

Under extreme tension, he didn't notice the slightest numbness in his palm.

What didn't match his size was that the little monster was actually very powerful. It desperately rubbed its head against Rand's palm, made a tragic "chirp" sound, and continued to try to climb out reluctantly.

"No, stop, stop!"

Rand was so distraught that until he figured out what it was, he didn't think he'd ever have the courage to let it climb out of the aquarium and roam around his room.

What's more, the feel of it is really creepy.

Seeing Munster about to crawl out of the gap between his hands, Rand felt as if his sanity was disconnected at that moment.

He grabbed a magazine next to the aquarium and slapped the little monster on the head.

"Go in! Go in!"

He screamed miserably at it.

The monster was pumped several times by the magazine, it looked a little dizzy, and after resting its paws on the edge of the aquarium for a while, it remained in its previous state and fell back into the water stiffly inside.

The tentacles on its head drooped down, and the color seemed to have dimmed a little.

Rand stood next to the aquarium, holding the magazine in both hands, and watched it slowly come to his senses.

Fortunately, it finally stopped trying to crawl out. It struggled to get to the side of the weird "cocoon" before and buried its head in it. However, due to its huge size, it had to expose most of its tail.

With a shrewd hit, Rand rushed frantically into the kitchen and pulled a cast-iron griddle out of the oven. Then he went back to the aquarium and pressed the extremely heavy baking pan over the lid of the aquarium.

"Oh God, what the hell are you?"

He stared at the little monster suspiciously and muttered to himself.
