When William came to the canoe, he knew very well that this was obviously prepared for him by Catherine, who wanted him to go out to sea in this way.
As we got on the boat, the waves seemed to have self-awareness and immediately carried the boat into the sea.
The canoe floated slowly and there was no immediate sign of Catherine showing up, so William had the perfect amount of leisure time to observe the pool ocean that Catherine had created.
Use your palm to scoop up some sea water and hold it close to your eyes to observe it carefully.
The seemingly clear sea water is mixed with a large number of microscopic Vibrio of various species. The bacteria density in each drop of sea water is even much higher than that of the Rat City that William had visited, where the smelly and green plague rain was much higher.
“Sure enough, Catherine is related to the ‘sea’ of the old world. The book that Nash prepared for me just happened to contain a historical introduction to the Vibrio Sea, which is a very special area.
It is called a pan-source epidemic area.
The main reason is that the arc sea is very large and is extremely rich in species and pathogens. In ancient times, there was not just one epidemic lord in the arc sea, but three epidemic lords who jointly managed it.
The war is over,
Two of the disease owners died during the war, and only the fish source survived, but his personality seemed to have changed and became very extreme. In addition, more than 95% of the arc sea disease patients died during the war.
Rumor has it that there are no obvious patient activities in the Arc Sea now, but there are very deadly things in it, and most patients dare not approach.
According to Nash,
The fact that Catherine was able to obtain deep sea water in a short period of time shows that she must have a deep connection with the Arc Ocean. Through this line of Catherine, I will definitely be able to understand this largest ocean in the Old World more quickly.
and,
In the human world, the ocean was the first to be affected and the area that was most severely grayed out, and almost all inland rivers and lakes were also affected by the ocean. This also led to my early contact with the so-called "Epidemic Lord" when I was taking the gentleman's assessment.
Fortunately, Little Grape was there at the time. Otherwise, if I had really looked at the source of the fish, I would have probably been buried at the bottom of the lake, or even become an unconscious fish scale infected person. "
Unconsciously,
The coast behind me has faded into darkness.
The current that carried the boat gradually stopped,
The only source of light was the candle placed on the bow of the ship. The poor illumination range of the candlelight could only penetrate the surface of the sea water. In such darkness, it was so fragile that it would go out at the slightest touch.
Huh~ A gust of sea breeze blew by, and the candlelight was suppressed to the lowest level, but the young fire seedling stood up very strongly.
When the candlelight spread out again and completely illuminated the area around the ship, a pair of arms were already lying on the wooden edge of the stern.
When William turned his head, he saw a wet blond girl.
Her entire body above her navel was exposed above the water, and her wet blonde hair slid down her shoulders, just covering the parts that should not be shown.
Blue eyes and white teeth,
She seemed not to understand human language and could only convey certain requests through her eyes.
Seeing that the young man didn't seem to have any ill intentions, she tried to move her lower body out of the water and landed on the boat... It wasn't the mermaid tail she had imagined, but six octopus legs.
One of the octopus legs was severely diseased, with dense barnacles parasitizing on it and completely embedded in the flesh. It would be difficult for her to remove them by herself, and she might even bleed profusely if she was not careful.
She approached the young man with the attitude of giving it a try, but at the same time, there was also a feeling that was unique to a young girl.
The young man smiled and reached out his hand. When his fingers touched the surface of her legs and feet, the touch from the opposite sex, from the life on land, made her feel a strong thrill. Her tentacles could not help but tremble and exude some moisture.
The next second, as the young man's palm touched the surface of the barnacle, a substance representing death was injected into it, and the barnacle began to decay and disintegrate on its own and fall off from between the octopus' legs.
A similar black death quickly spread to all the barnacles under the control of the young man, and he cleared all the parasitic barnacles without hurting the girl.
The blonde girl was stunned by such a rejuvenating miracle, but after expressing her gratitude with her eyes, she immediately raised her head and opened her mouth, and a beautiful siren-like sound came out of her throat.
After a while,
Pairs of arms of different skin colors crawled all over the boat, and even a large number of heads appeared on the surrounding sea surface.
The young man was also a little surprised. He glanced around and saw that all of them were girls no older than sixteen years old. Each of them had delicate features, especially their eyes, which were the most dazzling, like pearls on the sea.
There are so many of them that the candlelight cannot illuminate them all.
The girls were relatively shy, but based on the information conveyed by the blonde girl, they also tried to move the diseased and injured octopus legs onto the canoe.
The young man was very patient, and provided help efficiently and gentlemanly... until a strange low-frequency sound wave came from the bottom of the sea.
The girls' faces suddenly changed. Even though they looked reluctant, they all completed the dive within one second and headed towards the bottom of the sea at the fastest speed.
The young man also jumped into the sea, trying to follow the group of sea girls to their homes and see the mysteries hidden in the deep sea.
No candles were brought.
The darkness is too familiar to the young man, or rather to William. He is the spokesperson of the abyss, and his brain quickly provides visual calculations to obtain specific pictures of the dark deep sea.
The number is so large,
Thousands of girls with octopus-like lower bodies headed for the bottom of the sea under the stimulation of some signal.
There was a huge crack on the seabed that looked like it was cut by a sharp weapon. The girls all crossed the crack as quickly as possible and headed for an unknown area hidden deep under the sea.
William followed and found that the crack in the seabed was actually a barrier that could keep the high-pressure seawater out.
When he passed through the barrier and fell into the interior, the scene in front of him shocked him... What appeared before him was an extremely large underwater laboratory.
The walls of the laboratory are covered with fish scales, and in the gaps between the scales are densely packed fish eyes that provide surveillance functions.
There are a large number of cylindrical experimental devices arranged here, and the returning girls go to their corresponding cylindrical containers in groups of fifty.
When they saw the kind-hearted young man had also followed them here, they quickly signaled him to leave with their eyes.
But William did not respond and continued to walk deeper into the laboratory, wanting to see what was going on here and why these girls, who were like little white mice, were imprisoned here.
When William walked halfway and saw the overall structure of the laboratory clearly, he found that he was in just one of the laboratories with the "octopus mark" printed on it, and there were many different types of experimental areas under the deep sea.
As he was walking, William suddenly stopped.
Because in a cylindrical container beside him, there was a black-haired girl imprisoned inside who looked quite familiar to him, but he couldn't remember who she was.
When William got close to the surface of the container and tried to see the black-haired girl inside, an ancient feeling of oppression came over him, and the fish scales on the walls of the entire laboratory began to shake and creak wildly.
Just as William was about to turn his head, an arm covered with dense fish scales had already landed on his shoulder.
Some irresistible ancient disease spreads within him.
William wanted to stop it but heard waves of powerful epic music. Standing behind him was the only plague master who survived the Arc Sea.
"Fish Source-Nazjatar"
William's body was unable to resist the invasion of this disease, and his skin quickly turned into scales. He was thrown into the cylindrical container in front of him.
When the scaled body fell into the container and came into contact with the special seawater inside, the disease was further induced. William's body was actually broken into small fish, each of which carried brain cells and had self-awareness.
The unique flavor of the small fish stimulated the girl's strong appetite, and she began to eat them frantically one by one.
The black-haired girl was too young, so she only got a small fish head.
He stared into the fish's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then took a bite.
When the fish brain was chewed up, William finally remembered the black-haired girl's name - Catherine.
…Buzz!
The slippery, thick tentacles filled with suction cups were wrapped around William's body, moving around every part of his body.
A female voice full of malice but also seductive came from the top of the tentacle.
"You're awake, William."
