Chapter 66: I'm Not a Mermaid

"Dr. Cui, did you find anything?" Qin Yuan came to the real yàn room and asked Dr. Cui, who was slightly excited.

Dr. Choi lit up the screen and said incredulously, "The blood and other tissue samples we have taken from the flames contain very wonderful substances. After repeated tests, it has been found that it can quickly promote the growth and mutation of cells, repair damage, and even change the original genetic profile of organisms. I'm sure that the flame has changed a lot, or evolved, compared to the dolphins of two hundred years ago. ”

"Is there any danger to the flames?" Qin Yuan asked.

"For the time being, no danger has been found, on the contrary, if our speculation is correct, Flame should be healthier and live longer than ordinary dolphins." Dr. Cui paused, and then said, "I think the dolphin plague two hundred years ago was not so much a natural disaster as a cruel natural screening. Four hundred years ago, humanity was also hit by a global FD virus invasion that claimed the lives of nearly 100 million people. For those who survived, not only did their physical qualities improve, but their physical functions also showed variations in different ways. It is now generally accepted that this variation is a special evolution. ”

Qin Yuan said coldly: "This so-called evolution, Yan zhòng has affected the ability of human beings to reproduce, and the birth rate of the population has plummeted. In the past year, there have been fewer than 40 million newborns in the world, which has reached a dangerous threshold. ”

Today, the average life expectancy of human beings is about 180 years, but the fertility rate has dropped by 60%. Every five couples may not have a child, and even with the use of technology, the success rate of pregnancy is only 37%.

"I believe that humanity will soon overcome this problem." Dr. Choi is quite confident in this, and he doesn't care too much, and the only thing he is more concerned about at the moment is the two dolphins.

Qin Yuan didn't mean to discuss in depth, and suddenly asked, "How old is Flame?" ”

"About twelve or thirteen years old, just in time for maturity."

Mature at the age of twelve or thirteen? As far as Qin Yuan knew, the average age of wild dolphins was fifty years old, and according to human standards, the flame should still be just a child.

"So, the waves are not the children of the flames?" Qin Yuan asked again.

"It's not." Dr. Choi replied, "We have done the identification, and they are not directly related. There may be other dolphins in the ocean, but our survey team hasn't found anything yet. ”

Hearing that the waves were not the children of flames, Qin Yuan felt a kind of fascination in his heart.

Coming out of the research room, Qin Yuan habitually walked towards the water.

At this moment, Shang Ke was jumping and galloping in the water with the little dolphin, and his cheerful appearance made his cold and hard facial features unconsciously soften.

Qin Yuan looked at the gloomy sky, there would be a storm in two days, and he had to prepare in advance.

The next day, Shang Ke and the baby dolphin were brought into the inner waters of the base, which was isolated from several areas and kept many different species of marine life separately.

The change in the weather makes the creatures in the base restless, and transmits messages to each other that humans cannot understand.

The sky was cloudy, the light was gloomy, the sea breeze whistled, and the waves rolled and crashed against the reef, making huge splashes.

Shang Ke and the baby dolphin hide in an underwater passage flanked by solid metal walls, with a metal fence at the exit, and an underground waterway leading to the interior of the base. Stay here, no matter how fierce the waves are, they can't hurt them.

Shang Ke protected the baby dolphin under his body, and slept alternately with the left and right sides of the brain as the water waves swayed gently.

After an unknown amount of time, an earth-shattering noise suddenly came from above, and the entire base trembled, and then fragments of various objects fell into the water one after another.

What happened?

Shang Ke quickly swam to the fence and vaguely saw a fire on the water, and it seemed that there had been an explosion just now.

As far as he knew, the base had a light-energy defense wall that could withstand storms below level 5. Even if the energy is exhausted, an explosion is not possible.

Shang Ke turned around and swam down the underground waterway towards the interior of the base, with the little dolphin following him closely.

Soon, he found that the originally clear waterway was filled with various instrument fragments and industrial waste, and a large amount of seawater poured into the base, and countless aquatic creatures scattered and fled. Seeing this scene, Shang Ke immediately understood that the defensive wall of the base had been destroyed, and most of the base was submerged by the sea.

Shang Ke swam into the sea with the broken glass of the little dolphin Tongguò, and did not know what happened until he reached the surface.

It turned out that a passenger aircraft accidentally crashed, just above the base, and the huge explosion destroyed the base's defensive walls. There are hundreds of egg-shaped rescue pods floating on the water, which should be a contingency measure when the aircraft is about to crash. Most of the rescue pods have been destroyed, some people have been swept away by the waves, and some people are struggling desperately in the waves.

Shang Ke stared at Yiqiē in front of him with wide eyes, unable to believe that the base, which had been intact a few hours ago, had become dilapidated at this moment. The flames caused by the explosion had been extinguished by the waves, and the sky and the earth were dark, as if a monster had opened its huge mouth, ready to devour the one in front of it......

"The flames and waves are still under the base!" Dr. Choi anxiously shouted at the flickering screen. He and dozens of staff members took refuge in the escape room before the explosion, where the defenses were separated from the main base, and the defensive walls were still intact and unaffected by the explosion.

The computer, operated by the Doctor, was quickly connected to all the monitors that could be connected. When the picture appeared, everyone was stunned.

In the picture, a dolphin quickly rushed into the raging waves, pushed a lifebuoy that I didn't know where to find it to a victim, and then bit the rope and led the victim, quickly swam towards the relatively safe rear of the base, and then disappeared into the picture.

In a moment, "it" reappeared, rushed to another victim, and swam to safety.

One, two, three...... Like heroic lifeguards, the flames rushed into the rough waves again and again, rescuing the victims one by one. "It", which was supposed to wait for rescue, is now doing its best to save humanity.

This scene brought a huge impact to everyone.

That vigorous posture, riding the wind and waves, fast as lightning, not afraid of the challenge of nature, in the dark, shining with a light blue light, like a fairy in the sea, beautiful to breathtaking.

However, not everyone is in the mood to appreciate the beauty of the flames. Most of the victims did not know that the flames were there to save people, and when they saw the flames approaching, they all struggled to resist in fear.

The flames were able to navigate the waves with ease, dodging all obstacles with agility, but were scarred by the panicked victims, one of whom happened to have a dagger in his hand, and when the flames came to its rescue, he cut a long bloody wound in the back of "it".

The flames twitched in pain, but still did not give up saving him, endured the pain, and carried him all the way to safety.

Everyone at the base was filled with grief and anger, and at the same time, they were shocked by the bravery and kindness of "it". Even human beings are afraid that they can't do this kind of process.

After being injured, the flames moved much slower, and the flowing blood diffused a blood mist in the water, which looked extremely demonic under the reflection of the blue light.

"Quick, prepare life-saving tools to get the flames back." Dr. Choi said eagerly, "We can't let 'it' stay outside, or 'it' will bleed too much and die!" ”

As soon as the voice fell, even several people took action.

However, human beings are at the bottom of the sea, and their actions are very slow, not to mention rescue, it would be good to be able to ensure their own safety.

After a few attempts, the group finally gave up and returned to the escape room, waiting for the waves to subside a little before making plans.

"It's strange, there are no more victims nearby, why are the flames still wandering around?" One frowned and looked at the surveillance.

The flames in the picture are obviously exhausted, and just over an hour, "it" has saved at least forty victims. Now that there are no living people on the sea, "it" should try its best to find a place to rest.

Dr. Choi watched as the flames went back and forth around the base, not stopping even as they swam slower and slower.

He muttered, "Flame it...... Are you looking for us? ”

When everyone heard this, they were moved, and when they looked at the tired figure who was shuttling in the huge waves, their hearts were shocked beyond words.

Flames looking for them? "It" thought they were in danger?

"Doctor, use sound waves!" One of the researchers suddenly shouted.

Dr. Choi suddenly woke up and quickly activated the analog sonic system. Sound waves, which are indiscernible to human hearing, spread outward in circles, forming a special frequency in the water.

The flame seemed to be aware of it, and after circling the water a few times, it slowly swam in the direction of the source of the sound wave.

Seeing this, everyone showed surprise on their faces. However, at this moment, a huge wave rose high behind the flames, like a long mouth, engulfing "it" in an instant.

Everyone's expressions froze instantly, and the flames could no longer be seen in the picture......

"How's it going? Are there any casualties at the base? After Qin Yuan received the news, he risked his way to the base despite the dissuasion, and saw everyone with gloomy expressions in the escape room.

Dr. Cui said in a deep voice, "We're all fine, it's just ......"

"Just what?" An ominous premonition rose in Qin Yuan's heart.

"Well, the flame is gone, and 'it' has been swept away by the waves." A female researcher couldn't help but sob.

"Isn't 'it' in a safe waterway?" Qin Yuan said coldly, "How can you be swept away by the waves?" ”

Everyone turned their gaze in unison, not daring to look at him.

Dr. Cui sighed, turned on the monitoring just now, and played it back to Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan watched quietly, and as the picture played, the expression on his face gradually changed from surprise, anger, and worry to deep, and only the elf-like figure was still engraved in his pupils.

He looked at the picture frozen in front of him, and said in a firm tone: "I believe that 'it' will be fine." ”

When the wind calmed down, Qin Yuan immediately organized people and began to conduct a large-scale search of this sea area......

The clouds cleared, the sky was clear, and the sea returned to calm, as if what had just happened was just a nightmare.

In a shallow sea area about 3 nautical miles away from the base, the tired Shang Ke was resting underwater, and the injuries on his body were gradually healing.

At this moment, Shang Ke felt that the water around him seemed to be moving a little, and when he came back to his senses, his body had been trapped by a large net.

Shang Ke woke up.

Nima, can't you let him sleep well? It's endless!

He spun around, swam quickly, and jumped out of the net before the people above closed the net, and jumped high out of the water.

There was an exclamation in my ears, and then someone shouted, "What a big fish, hurry, don't let it run!" ”

Shang Ke looked at them, but saw a spear shooting at him rapidly, and just as he was about to fall back into the sea, he felt a piercing pain spread from his tail all over his body, causing him to cry out in pain, lose his balance, and slam into the water.

"Shot, drag it up!" The fishermen on the boat let out a cry of excitement.

Shang Ke was quickly dragged out of the sea by them, slammed, and thrown on the deck.

Shang Ke couldn't help but struggle, leaving the sea made him feel very uncomfortable, and the splint was stained red by the constant flow of blood.

"What kind of fish is this? I don't think I've ever seen it before. One kicked Shang Ke in the back.

"Maybe it's a rare species." Another commanded, "Put it in the jar first, don't let it die." This time the sea god sacrifice, just use this fish as a sacrifice. ”

"Whew!" The crowd burst into cheers.

Then, Shang Ke felt that he was lifted up and rudely thrown into a water tank more than a meter long, the narrow space made him only curl up, in the shallow seawater, breathing hard, the spear on his tail had not been removed, and the pain hit him, gradually blurring his consciousness.

Shang Ke suddenly remembered his mission - to be food for humans.

Perhaps, it will be done soon......
