The Fallen Merman

Chapter 91

Views:

Rimbaud's speed in the water was extremely fast, within a few minutes he approached the group of killer whales from underwater. A dozen killer whales were fiercely attacking a human merchant ship, their huge heads knocked the ship tottering.

The killer whales felt the approach of the king's breath, calmed down one after another, and retreated a place for the king.

Rimbaud looks very slender in front of these huge animals, but the ferocious killer whales lined up neatly, with their heads lowered and their fish tails swinging up and down to show their respect for the king.

"Nali? (what happened/what happened)" Rimbaud asked.

The leader of the killer whale group replied that there was a strange smell on the boat. They were very curious. Seeing that there were no weapons on board, they wanted to get it off and taste it.

Rimbaud sniffed the scent that melted into the sea water. The smell was very familiar. It seemed to be the smell of brandy, but it was different from the smell of the cargo ship that transported the wine. It was mixed with the smell of blood.

Rimbaud's electric discharge was attached to the outer wall of the cargo ship, and he crawled up the iron shell like a lizard. While the attention of the crew on the deck was focused on the group of killer whales attacking the ship, Rimbaud went around behind them, silently Sneak into the cargo hold to check the situation.

The thermometer in the cargo hold showed that the room was only 4 degrees Celsius, which was about the same as a large cold storage room, in which blue containers with serial numbers were stacked, and the containers were completely closed around them.

Rimbaud put his ears against the iron outer wall of the container, and there seemed to be breathing sounds inside.

His ears gradually become pointed, and the ear bones deform, growing into blue ear fins to allow for more focused hearing.

Rimbaud heard a faint cry for help through a layer of iron plates. The voice was so familiar that Rimbaud thought he was hallucinating.

He carefully put his body close to the container, stretched out his black and blue sharp claws, and gently twisted them on the sealing screws of the container, but the screws were tightly tightened, and it took him a lot of effort to remove them. There are three blanks on one side of the iron plate.

Rimbaud wrapped his tail around one end of the iron plate, and dragged it outward with all his strength. The iron plate was rolled away, and blood gushed out, flooding the floor, and then, accompanied by melted ice cubes, one after another The bloody corpse rolled to the ground.

A bruised hand struggled to protrude from the mountain of corpses. Alpha was crushed in the pile of corpses with a blood-stained face on his face. He was still breathing, and crawled out with the instinct to survive.

Rimbaud stared at him with wide eyes, and slowly slumped on the ground, his fingertips trembling slightly.

"Help me." The young alpha's vision was already very blurred, and he couldn't see that the creature in front of him had a fish tail. He just followed the gentle pheromone on Rimbaud's body and stretched out his hand to him in pain, "Save me." I… "

Rimbaud raised his hand to hold him, but the moment his fingertips touched, the young alpha lost his last bit of strength and fell headfirst to the ground.

"No, no." Rimbaud grabbed him, pulled him into his arms and hugged him tightly, "randi? wei?"

But it didn't work. His entire spine was surgically incised and then stitched up. The wound festered severely, and the festering wound due to infection faintly exposed white bones.

The alpha who died in his arms had exactly the same face as Bai Chunian, the same black hair and the same black eyes, the corners of the eyes were raised like peach blossoms.

The cargo ship was floating in the tropical ocean current, but Rimbaud felt a chill coming from his back. He slowly raised his head and looked up at the mountain of corpses in front of him—every corpse was wearing the same disposable lab coat, and their snow-white skin was bloodless , black hair was glued and tied with dirty blood, and the body was covered with stitched wounds. Almost everyone was seriously infected, most of them were dead, and a few comatose people were only lingering on their last days. They share the same appearance, they are all exactly the same as Bai Chunian.

Lan Bo was a little flustered. He put Alpha on the ground, climbed to the side of the second container, and unscrewed the screw. Inside was also a corpse that had died from repeated suture infection, and it was no different from Bai Chunian in terms of body shape and appearance.

Rimbaud sat on the ground blankly, looking at the blood stained on his hands at a loss, he stuck out his tongue and licked it, the faint smell of brandy in the blood made him suddenly lose his ability to think.

The movement in the cargo hold attracted the sailors outside. The sailors came in to check, and suddenly looked up, only to see a mermaid sitting on the top of the container, with a blue light flashing from the tail of the fish.

A thin line converged in Rimbaud's hollow blue eyes, looking down at him coldly like a poisonous snake.

He swooped down suddenly, pressed his claws on the sailor's neck, and said in a low and bewitching voice, "What are you transporting?"

The sailor was so frightened that he couldn't even speak clearly. He said in Spanish: "We are only responsible for delivering the goods. The employer asked us to transport the goods to the middle of the sea and throw them away... I don't know, I don't know anything..."

"Employer, who is it?" Rimbaud firmly grasped his neck, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"A... Kingston businessman..."

While Rimbaud was distracted to digest the information he said, the sailor quietly took out the stun gun from the gun bag on his back waist, kicked Rimbaud away with all his might, and then pulled the trigger on his heart.

Rimbaud was kicked two meters away unexpectedly, and fell to the ground with his stomach supported.

Two electric shock bombs with high-voltage electricity were ejected quickly, hitting Rimbaud's bandage-wrapped chest hard. But the sailor didn't expect that the electric shock bomb, which was enough to stun people, went out after only two flashes on Rimbaud's chest.

The sailor froze, holding the stun gun stiffly in his hand, and retreated in horror, trying to press the siren two meters away.

Rimbaud's eyes suddenly lit up with blue light, and an ultra-high-voltage electric current flowed backward along the helical wire of the electric shock bullet. The white light rushed towards the sailor with hot electric sparks, and directly carbonized the sailor into ashes, ignoring the insulating sleeve of the electric shock gun.

He climbed out of the cargo hold, stuck to the outer wall of the cargo ship, and crawled around to listen for the situation.

The sailors gathered on the deck and used harpoons to drive away the orca group, and the orcas slapped the water with their tails like teasing fools.

But two minutes later, the killer whales seemed to sense something, and they all jumped into the water and swam away.

Rimbaud quietly crawled on the outer wall of the cargo ship and waited, the tail belonging to the predator wagging dangerously.

Suddenly, a tentacle as thick as a four-person hug suddenly sticks out of the water and wraps around the hull of the cargo ship. It is an octopus foot covered with spots. The powerful suction cup twists and deforms the steel shell of the cargo ship. The cargo ship was pulled into the deep sea.

Rimbaud let go and jumped back into the sea. Before he could see the whole picture of the monster, the cargo ship disappeared without a sound.

He searched the surrounding waters, but found no trace, so he quickly swam back to the mermaid's lair.

With the help of the mermaids, the boat that Bai Chulai was on sailed away from the mermaid island. After getting out of the fog, the people on the boat gradually woke up.

The Havana boy rubbed his cracked head and got up, sat on the ground and rubbed his neck: "Brother, we are still alive. I really saw a mermaid, I still remember, it was a live mermaid!"

Bai Chunian didn't speak.

He stared intently at the monitor screen, actually in a daze.

He took off the earrings given by Rimbaud and held them in his hand, holding the upper and lower ends between his index finger and thumb, and looked at the light. The fish bone was white and brittle, but the black ore was very heavy. Rimbaud said that it was a corner of the heart he cut off with his own hands.

A fish that is obviously so afraid of pain, always does some stupid things.

When talking about the queen, I thought he was joking, but every time Rimbaud looked so serious, what was he thinking

Bai Chunian gently held the earrings in his palm, and the cold ore beat faintly in his palm.

He always thought that Rimbaud and him were suffering from the same disease, that they were orphans who escaped from death, and they cuddled each other for warmth, but Rimbaud had his family and mission, and even lived in a world completely different from his. Not belonging to the sea, stuck between several species, unable to integrate into any race.

It's a bit annoying.

The clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds. Accompanied by a bolt of lightning that cut down the clouds, a blue light drew a swift arc from above the cargo ship. After the blue light disappeared, Bai Chunian also disappeared.

Lan Bo held Bai Chunian's collar in his mouth, tied him to his body with the tip of his tail, and led him quickly crawled into the water along the outer wall of the cargo ship, and the oxygen-filled bubbles wrapped them up.

Bai Chunian patted Lan Bo's back lightly: "Don't make trouble, I'm busy."

"Don't go." Rimbaud let go of his mouth, and crawled slowly beside him like a beast guarding its cubs, saying in a low voice, "Dangerous."

"What's the danger?" Bai Chunian smiled, "What are you afraid of? A mature experimental subject can do something to me. I'm going to collect blood and some tissue for it."

Lan Bo wanted to explain to him what he had just seen, but the complexity of the matter was beyond his ability to express. He couldn't explain it clearly in mermaid language, let alone in a language that Bai Chunian could understand. Chinese to express.

"Come back with me." Rimbaud arched his back, and the fins on the back of the fish's tail stood up with spikes, threatening to hunt.

Bai Chunian coaxed him patiently: "The task is not finished yet."

"When you're done, come back with me?"

"But I still have to go back and hand in the task. The children on Aphid Island are also waiting for me to go back to class."

Lan Bo was stunned: "You didn't intend to stay?" He never thought that Bai Chunian was not tempted by Hai Hai and had no intention of staying. He thought that Randi would go back to the giant clam bed he had prepared and sleep obediently after finishing the task.

Bai Chunian bit his lower lip with half of his fangs exposed: "I will apply to the headquarters for a long-term mission in the Americas, and I should be able to spend a lot of time with you."

"No." Rimbaud stared into his eyes without any concealment, and his eyes were full of crazy possessiveness: "I have gems, gold, satin, and all the creatures of the five seas. I own them all. I will snatch them for you you."

"I don't want anything." Bai Chunian sat down and gently scratched his chin with his hand.

"If you like, the throne is also for you." Rimbaud wrapped his hands around him, "I will not let the queen I raised by myself return to the side of dangerous humans."

It can be seen that Rimbaud's nerves are very tense, his muscles are tense, and his sharp toenails stick out sharply outside the nail sheath: "Humans fear you, study you, and kill you."

"But the president doesn't have one." Bai Chunian carelessly rubbed his face, "Nor does Uncle Jin."

"Only you can believe it, man." Rimbaud said indifferently, "I have lived for two hundred and seventy years, and no one is worthy of trust."

"Baby, what's wrong with you suddenly." Bai Chunian hugged the nervous Rimbaud and patiently comforted him, "I shouldn't have been born, but since I survived, there must be some value. The president recognizes me, I can't let He's disappointed, you understand."

"Rimbaud... very few people recognize me."

Rimbaud silently savored his words, but his hands still stubbornly pushed him into the deep sea.

A floating reef island blocked their way, and Rimbaud recalled it for a while, as if there was no such island near this sea area in his memory.

Bai Chunian took the opportunity to grab Rimbaud's hand, brought him ashore, and sat on the edge of the island. Coincidentally, the boat that Bai Chunian was on also sailed near this island.

Rimbaud stared distrustfully at the agents on board.

Bai Chunian made a silent gesture, and explained in a low voice: "They are all colleagues from the South American branch of the alliance. This time, the experimental subject escaped to the Caribbean region. They are responsible for solving it. I just took a little blood sample."

Lan Bo didn't care about others at all, he just followed Bai Chunian every step of the way.

The cargo ship was moored near the island. The Havana boy on the deck was looking around with a telescope. He seemed to be looking for Bai Chunian. Just now, an unknown creature crossed the deck and took Bai Chunian away, making the agents on the deck very vigilant.

"Look at how much panic you've created." Bai Chunian watched them anxiously looking for him, turned back and rubbed Rimbaud's wet hair, "I'll go say hello to them."

As soon as Bai Chunian stepped on the shore, he suddenly felt that his feet were extremely soft. He carefully identified the soil under his feet and touched it lightly.

It is smooth and has a mucous membrane.

Bai Chunian's eyes changed instantly, and he quickly pushed Lan Bo into the sea, "Go!" He also jumped down.

The message receiving screen on Bai Chunian's wrist lit up, and the message was signed by the crawler, and the crawler omega finished sorting out the experimental subject information that Bai Chunian requested.

Special Operations Weapon Number 809

Kraken

Status: M2 mature stage alpha

Appearance: giant octopus

Biological prototype: blue octopus

Accompanying ability: "Infinite expansion", absorbing the devoured food without damage, and growing in size without end.

Differentiation ability: J1 ability "flowing cloud", which can instantly change the color of the body surface for camouflage.

The island they had just stayed on suddenly disappeared out of thin air. Bai Chunian held his breath, opened his eyes reluctantly in the sea, and looked for the fleeing Kraken. Lan Bo turned back and wanted to drag Bai Chunian to his side. Suddenly, a thick gray tentacle appeared behind him without warning. , Ling Bo flexibly wrapped around Rimbaud, and Rimbaud was forced to travel farther and farther with Bai Chunian.

Bai Chunian finally saw the whole picture of Kraken clearly.

His color-changing cells are all over the body, and the whole body can change color within a few milliseconds. Half of his huge body lying on the white seabed turns into a snow-white color, and the other half of his body merges with the colorful coral.

When they first saw him from the seafood factory in the port, his volume had expanded almost 30,000 times. The current Kraken weighed 1,500 tons, equivalent to the size of 300 adult Asian elephants piled up together.

Kraken suddenly opened his rectangular eyes buried in the snow-white seabed. His movement caused the sea current to surge. Without Rimbaud to provide oxygen, Bai Chunian had to surface quickly to breathe.

There was a crazy wave on the sea, the cargo ship the agents were on rolled and swayed in the waves, the mast broke and collapsed, and several agents were thrown out from the deck, including the unlucky Havana boy.

Several people fell into the sea at the same time, but Kraken's interest seemed to only focus on Bai Chunian. One of the thick tentacles wrapped around Bai Chunian's foot and dragged him down.

Haili is not Bai Chunian's home field. Facing a mature experimental octopus, Bai Chunian is at an absolute disadvantage.

Each tentacle of the octopus has the ability to think independently. He doesn't need to think too much, the other tentacle will automatically block all of Rimbaud's rescue routes for him.

The suffocation gradually spread from the lungs, and Bai Chunian's eyes turned black, but at this moment he had not lost his ability to think, and he quickly thought about the way to escape and the goal of this experimental subject.

There are also human agents and non-human experimental subjects who fell into the sea now, but it is obvious that Kraken is only interested in himself, indicating that this octopus may have received a specific mission target signal.

The most likely signal that a marine creature can recognize is pheromone. Bai Chunian suspects that someone has identified his own pheromone for Kraken, but in theory, his visit to the Caribbean this time is a temporary operation, and it is impossible for someone to have the opportunity to inject Kraken with pheromone in advance. Identifying pheromones allows him to capture himself.

Bai Chunian searched calmly, and found a reef under the water, the gap in the reef was just enough for a person to pass through.

There are four octopus tentacles in the arms of four people pulling him, and the thin tip is wrapped around Bai Chunian's ankle, but the huge body is dragged by Bai Chunian to swim towards the rocks on the seabed.

Despite the huge difference in body size, Kraken's strength is still lower than that of Bai Chunian.

But the closer to the depth, the greater the seabed pressure, Bai Chunian did not have any diving equipment, and it was very difficult to swim with only the strength of his body and the oxygen in his lungs.

Kraken suddenly separated one of the seven tentacles that blocked Rimbaud, wrapped it around Bai Chunian's other foot, and gradually crawled around his waist, squeezing the remaining oxygen in his lungs.

The tightened tentacles strangled Bai Chunian so that his internal organs ached, he was forced to choke on water, his body relaxed, was pulled to the mouth by Kraken, and thrown into the black hole-like stomach.

"Randi!" Rimbaud broke free from the tentacles and swam towards Bai Chunian who had been sucked away, but he was a step too late, and was blocked by Kraken's huge mouth by countless mutated fangs.

When Bai Chunian was swallowed into Kraken's stomach, he was still awake. With the mutated viscera, he entered the part where Kraken digested food. The water here only covered the calf, and half of the air was available for breathing.

Instead, Bai Chunian felt more comfortable. He took out the bright flashlight on his belt and saw in the pitch blackness that there were still fragments of the cargo ship devoured by Kraken, and some containers had not been digested.

Kraken's powerful digestive juice didn't work on Bai Chunian, but it still stinks a bit.

The receiver on the wrist flickered again, and the crawler sent some trivial messages.

He said that the 109 Institute had invented a new method of summarizing experimental subjects, and he had stolen the data. If Bai Chunian wanted to see it, he would promise to meet with them after a while.

Bai Chunian agreed without thinking.

The file was sent.

This is an improved summary of the growth period of the experimental body—

The growth period of the special operations experimental body is divided into larvae, cultivation period, maturity period, and deterioration period. After years of research, scientists now divide the maturity period into ten stages, which are first-level mature body, second-level mature body... By analogy, if you evolve again after reaching the tenth-level mature body, you will enter the free body state, and if you evolve before reaching the tenth-level mature body stage, you will enter the deterioration period.

The order of the combat effectiveness of the experimental bodies at each stage is as follows: free body [greater than] deterioration stage [greater than] mature stage (level 10 to 1) [greater than] cultivation stage [greater than] larvae.

The reptile said that after accurate calculation, the growth stage of the Elephant Stalker is a first-level mature body, the clown Samael is a second-level mature body, and Kraken is about a third-level mature body.

In other words, this guy is more difficult to deal with than the previous two mature experimental subjects.

"What about me?" Bai Chunian asked.

"About level nine." The reptile replied, "Rimbo at the mature stage is about level seven, but he's back to the cultivation stage now."

Bai Chunian voice replied: "Your crap information is useless except for giving me unnecessary self-confidence. Change it to something useful."

Reptile: "Kraken has three hearts, and each tentacle has the ability to think independently. It has no bones and is a highly intelligent creature."

Bai Chunian: "Weakness?"

Reptile: "There is no weakness. But there is no advantage, it is edible. The research institute invented it to deal with medical waste. Later, it was found that he ate more and more, and the ecological tank couldn't fit. So he sold it cheaply to the red-throated bird organization to dispose of it. gone."

With a bright flashlight on, Bai Chunian walked over to the undigested blue containers, some of which were opened, and there were piles of corpses melted by the digestive juice.

What, a container for transporting dead bodies? Bai Chunian squatted down and rummaged through the corpses for clues.

The lab coats on some of the corpses have not been melted, and it can be seen that the red triangle logo is engraved on the chest plate, representing the 109 Research Institute.

"Is it a patient who is doing live experiments in the research institute?" Bai Chunian walked up to the unopened container, used bone tempering, and easily tore open the iron sheet that was nailed to the container. He probably knew what was inside, so he deliberately backed away when tearing off the iron sheet took two steps.

A rotten smell rushed into the nostrils, and the rotten flesh-like corpse rolled out from the torn hole, and the melted ice mixed with ice water and blood flowed out with a splash.

A still intact corpse rolled to Bai Chunian's feet, floating face down in the water.

Bai Chunian turned him upside down, and the moment he saw the face of the corpse, his heart felt as if someone had pinched him severely.

This is a face that is indistinguishable from his own. Looking at the other corpses, they had the same appearance, and even the smell of pheromone was similar to his, with a rotting brandy aroma.

He froze for a while, then went to open other boxes, inexplicably expecting to see other people's copies, but they were all his own without exception.

He suddenly understood why Rimbaud stopped himself from coming.

His thoughts were a little confused, and he tried to sort out the clues in his mind. If Kraken's goal was only to devour these corpses with his own pheromone smell, then he probably recognized himself as a corpse, so he suddenly launched an attack.

At this time, he should immediately take a photo and send it back to the alliance's technical department, but he hesitated.

If this kind of photo is sent back... Bai Chunian crouched in the knee-deep water with his head in pain.

A blinding light suddenly shone on his face, Bai Chunian managed to open his eyes, Rimbaud held up a transparent hydration steel chainsaw, the chainsaw buzzed and cut Kraken's body, the bright light shone on Behind Rimbaud.

Rimbaud dragged him out of Kraken's stomach, and the seawater poured into Kraken's huge stomach from the wound. The containers and corpses he swallowed were scattered into the sea, and a large number of Bai Chunian's corpses were stained red. Floating in the blood, Rimbaud passed through the sea of corpses, and swam to the surface with Bai Chunian in his arms.

"Did you see that? Me." Bai Chunian asked wearily.

"en." Rimbaud looked forward.

"Do you think I'll be one of them?"

"kimonowakneya. (You are different)"

The skin of the octopus cut by the chainsaw quickly healed, Kraken chased after him, Rimbaud held up a transparent hydration steel quad rocket launcher with his backhand, and the devil ray M2 high-explosive water bomb was attached to the four transparent rocket launchers and fired one after another , regardless of the opponent's level, Kraken was knocked out of the water by four consecutive impacts, and fell back hard, splashing a huge wave.

Bai Chunian regained his oxygen and took a big gulp of breath on the surface of the water. The suffocation made his head buzzing, and his ears could not hear things clearly as if they were covered with a cloth.

The Havana guy swam over and grabbed his wrist: "Brother, are you all right?"

Bai Chunian wiped his face: "It's okay." The samples have been taken, and the rest is up to the agents of the alliance branch.

Lan Bo also floated on the water, holding Bai Chunian's arm, staring at the alpha unfriendly.

"Wow, so we have such a beautiful agent on board." Alpha looked down at his figure, and looked below the surface of the water. Rimbaud's slender waist was connected to a strangely long translucent fish tail, shining in the water.

"Siren." Alpha's expression changed, and he let go of his hands and swam frantically for a distance, shouting at Bai Chunian, "He's entangled you, come here!"

"Don't be afraid, this is my daughter-in-law." Bai Chunian grabbed Lan Bo's slender hand, unfolded the webbed and showed him, "She's very good."

Rimbaud's eyes became more fierce.

And that's not the worst. A dead body floated up next to the Havana boy.

The alpha pushed away the corpses in horror, but more and more corpses floated up around them. There were too many of them, and some of them were not completely decomposed. Anyone could clearly see that they had Bai Chunian's face, The logo of the Institute is hung on the chest.

The way he looked at Bai Chunian changed, his eyes were full of hostility, and he said firmly, "You are a spy."

Bai Chunian took a deep breath: "I'm not. I have a certificate, IOA Headquarters Special Agent Team Search Section, I'm a regular worker."

Alpha sneered, took out a waterproof pistol from his waist, and pointed at Bai Chunian's head: "The president knows your identity? Or are you deceiving him?"

Rimbaud couldn't bear it anymore, wrapped his fish tail around the neck of the Havana agent, and hung him alive from the water.

"Forget it. Can I explain it to you?" Bai Chunian pressed Rimbaud, "Let's go."

"Anyway, I have finished collecting blood samples and cells." Bai Chunian said nonchalantly, "The South American branch of the experimental body here will handle it by itself."

Lan Bo let go of the fish tail indifferently, and swam back to Bai Chunian.

As soon as Alpha fell back into the water, he threatened in a low voice: "Don't move."

He pulled the trigger suddenly, a gunshot sounded, Bai Chunian tilted his head sharply, the bullet did not hit the back of his head, but passed through his shoulder.

The blood hole in the shoulder pierced by the bullet healed quickly visible to the naked eye.

"Experimental subject..." the Havana agent asked viciously, "I found out that you have problems as early as on the ship. Tell me, what is your purpose?"

With his back turned to him, Bai Chunian lightly touched his healed shoulder, and smiled softly with a self-deprecating smile: "Am I going to be laid off soon?"

The IOA Free Bird Medal has only been worn for a short time, and if it continues like this, it will be withdrawn sooner or later. The chairman can't stand against the public opinion alone, even if he is fired, he understands very well.

A loud call sound came from the communicators on their respective waists, and the vibration reminded them. They took out the communicators from the water at the same time, shook the water, and received the order.

Every agent on board received this order, which was personally conveyed by the president of the South American branch of the IOA.

"The mission goal of this secret service team: kill the No. 809 test subject Kraken."

"The reinforcement helicopter will arrive in 15 minutes. After receiving the order from the headquarters, Bai Chunian will be handed over the command of this battle. The rest of the agents will follow his command and cooperate with the battle."

The Havana agent was so excited that he pressed the communicator and shouted: "He is a spy of the experimental subject! Are you crazy!"

The branch responded: "All plans are decided by the headquarters. Please execute the order."

Lan Bo raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, Bai Chunian was holding the communicator, his eyes were calm, and his Adam's apple moved slightly.
