25. Chapter Twenty-Five: Hetty

"Stop talking nonsense, Ben!" Chelson's voice was loud, and his manic voice echoed in the spacious real yร n department, "I don't have enough patience to wait, starting tomorrow, I will increase the amount of experiments, test each mermaid test subject, and finally select the test subject with the highest connection rate to cultivate." โ€

"Chelson, although your suggestion can improve efficiency, please allow me to raise objections, which will consume a lot of energy from the breeder, and the quality and effect of the later tests will be poor, and it is even likely that the final test results will not be satisfactory." Ben pursed his lips, his face tensed very tightly, and he looked like he was holding back his anger.

"Ben," Chelson doubled his voice, pointing to Ben's nose, "do you need me to remind you who the chief of the institute is!" Don't think that my father values you, you can take yourself seriously, I reuse you just for the sake of my father's face, you must know that there are quite a lot of people who can replace you! The physical condition of the breeders has nothing to do with me, I only care about when the research project will actually succeed. I've been waiting for twenty years, I can't wait, and as soon as I find the right test subject, I'll start Plan C......"

"No way!" Ben's voice also raised, his expression was quite shocked, and his pupils widened, "You should know that your father is strongly opposed to this plan, and if Plan C is activated, it will lead to immeasurable consequences. โ€

"Enough!" Chelson grabbed Ben's collar violently, lifted Ben, who was taller than him, and the biceps under the cuffs bulged angrily, "At the beginning, you strongly opposed me to start Plan C, and I stopped this idea for the sake of my father's face, but because of you, I missed the best time, look at the now, the guy who mastered the genetic code is dead, and we can no longer create a perfect test subject, so we can only replace it with these inferior test subjects." โ€

Ben stared fixedly into Chelson's eyes, without saying a word, about half a minute later, he opened Chelson's hand, straightened the ripped collar, and turned away with a stiff face: "If you insist, I have nothing to say, after all, you are the commander-in-chief of the institute." Just, hopefully you won't regret it in the future. โ€

Ben left the real department, and "I" turned around to see Cherson angrily smashing a punch on the table, the force was very strong, and the table was smashed with a fist mark, and cursed in a low voice: "Father, father, everything is father!" Damn, one day, I'll show you what I've done more than my father. โ€

After Cherson left, "I" flew around the real yร n department, and after learning about the environment here, I went out. If I want to leave the Institute, I must understand the terrain and environment before I can make a thorough escape route.

But probably what I just heard had an effect on me, and I'm in a mess now, rather absent-minded. I can't wait to lift the veil on Plan C and see what exactly their banned plan is, why it has undesirable consequences, and what they have planned beyond cultivating merfolk weapons.

In a state of crankiness, I happened to see Ben who was leaving the institute. "I" immediately followed, and he got into an off-road truck and drove to the main road on the left side of the institute.

After about 20 minutes, we descended into another tall and sparsely wooded area, and although it was the height of summer, the temperature should still be lower than the outside world due to the trees on Lifu Island, but the temperature here gradually climbed, and after reaching a huge cave, the temperature was estimated to reach more than 40 degrees.

The car stopped a hundred meters in front of the cave entrance, and after Ben got out of the car, he asked the driver to drive away. "I" heard the sound of what seemed to be the roar of a wild beast in the cave, like an earthquake, and then the ground shook violently, and the gravel on the ground bounced violently, and as the sound got closer and closer, the vibration became more and more intense.

The roar was deafening like a cannon erupting in his ears, and suddenly, accompanied by a violent hot wind, a behemoth rushed out of the cave like a blazing fire, opening its bloody jaws and pounced on Ben.

Eight-clawed salamander Hetty.

"I" flew to the side in surprise, thinking that Ben would at least run away, but he didn't move, his right hand was in the pocket of his white coat, and his left hand was calmly raised, firmly against Hetty's jaw.

The unbelievable happened, Hetty's mouth with a strong bite force seemed to be blocked by a solid wall, and it could not advance even a centimeter further, it opened its palate in a rage and shook its mouth, and its red eyes full of murderous intent reflected Ben's figure, but unfortunately its struggle had no effect, and it seemed even more manic.

At this time, "I" noticed that there was a very strange scale on the top of Hetty's head, the color was lighter than the other scales, and it even glowed faintly.

Hetty's strength seemed to be gradually disappearing, and the momentum was not so fierce, Ben took advantage of this time to withdraw his hand, slapped a palm on Hetty's inertial falling mouth, jumped on Hetty's back, patted its horn thorns, and said in a very gentle voice: "It's me, Ben." I don't want to touch your neural sensor chip to make you miserable, listen to me and be quiet, okay? โ€

Neural sensor chips?

I had secret contact with the Nord military, and I knew that they secretly produced something called a neurosensor chip that could control the user's thoughts and actions by implanting the chip in the user's scalp. Once the user disobeys the accuser's command, the chip stimulates the nervous system and inflicts severe punishment on the user. In this way, it would explain why a creature with a low IQ would listen to them.

Hetty's anger gradually subsided under Ben's reassurance, the killing intent in its pupils disappeared, and it lowered its head and snorted, obediently accepting Ben's caresses.

"Dear child, you have done a good job, and I know that your โ–กโ–ก of control is quite painful, but I beg your pardon, I cannot save you for the time being. Please believe that in the future, I will take you out of here and see the outside world. Ben stroked Hetty's horns, and his tone sounded very gentle, but "I" could see it very clearly, and his eyes were very cold.

Poor Hetty, lest it was unaware of the Nord's instinct to drain human value in order to achieve its own ends, and it looked like it really thought Ben would take it away, and flicked its tail excitedly.

Ben rode out of the cave on Hetty, descending to the periphery of a small base near the sea.

After Ben greeted the staff stationed at the base, one of the staff members pulled open the cuff of his left hand, revealing his wrist, and pressed the tip of his right finger on his left wrist, as if he had entered a fingerprint. Immediately after, in the air about a hundred meters from the coast, like an old-fashioned television turned off, a white line like lightning flashed after a crackling electric sound.

"Mr. Leiz, the power grid has been turned on, and according to custom, the system will be reopened on time at fourteen o'clock, please come back as soon as possible."

Ben nodded, and drove Heti out into the sea.

Before entering the institute, I had also seen Ben take Hetty into the sea, and it seems that this behavior has become a habit. I thought Hetty was just going into the sea to swim, but it turned out to be my surprise.

It was as fast as a whirlwind, and the air currents in the air were so disturbed that I felt a strong wind blowing in my face, and then I was amazed to see Hetty running on the surface of the sea.

Yes, it is like stepping on flat ground, easy, natural, and fast speed makes its eight claws appear phantom, and what is even more amazing is that such a running strength does not even splash the waves, but produces a small range of ripples under the soles of the feet.

I was reminded of a basilisk lizard with very slender toes and bubble-producing scales under their feet, and they ran on the surface of the water with their feet on the bubbles, which were extremely fast and did not break the balance of tension on the surface. Maybe Hetty has added this ability to her body and has improved it to a certain extent.

In short, this ability is quite convenient for humans who live on islands and need to rely on heavy machines such as ships and ships.

"I" followed and observed Hetty.

Hetty suddenly slowed down, and it opened its mouth towards the sea, and a large amount of sticky saliva dripped into the sea, and just when I was puzzled, it suddenly spewed a fire into the sea.

Then I saw the sea water burn up in a large area, and a large amount of water vapor was evaporated into smoke, and bubbles were emitting, and no, not only that, but I felt the temperature of the sea rising rapidly, as if it had been burned in a high-temperature furnace.

I thought that the flame only ignited the seawater on the surface, just like oil was poured on the sea, and it was ignited with an open flame, and it was only the oil that burned, not the seawater, but when I looked closely, I realized that the flame actually ignited the seawater in defiance of scientific principles.

Yes, a large area of sea water is boiled by flames, but the flames that rise higher and higher are not extinguished by water.

Although I was able to raise the temperature of the flame in a short period of time to achieve the effect of burning seawater in the sea, it was quite energy-consuming, and the seawater was constantly flowing and would eventually extinguish the flame, but now, Hetty made me see a completely impossible phenomenon - the flame is constantly burning in the water!

I was shocked, excited, and felt my blood boiling all over my body, and an irrepressible desire was crying out: What if...... If I can master this burning principle, then my abilities in the sea will not be limited in any way, and they can be used easily!

"I" excitedly chased after Hetty, and I needed to take a closer look at what made it break the laws of nature.

But at this moment, I suddenly felt a nauseous dizziness, and my eyes suddenly went black, and my mental sharing state was cut off.

My spirit returned to my body, and I tried to open my eyes, but I found that this very simple action had become extremely difficult, and my eyelids seemed to be glued with super glue, and I struggled to open them wide, and I had just ingested a little light, and I was so heavy that I wanted to close them.

At the same time, I felt that my body was full of powerlessness, so weak that I couldn't lift my hands, and my whole body was soaked in cold sweat.

I really know what this long-lost feeling of powerlessness is.
