Chapter 74: I'm Not a Mermaid
Shang Ke found that the growth rate of the little mermaid is very slow, two months is enough for other babies to grow two laps, but the size of the little mermaid has not changed much from just born, but the pink of the tail has faded, turning into a faint gray-blue, and it is no longer translucent, and it can swim in shallow water for dozens of minutes, but if it enters the deep water area, the little mermaid will involuntarily sink into the water, and it will not be able to float up after trying its best.
In addition to Shang Ke, a supernumerary breeder, there are three researchers who are responsible for caring for the two small mermaids. Because the little mermaid is still too small, it usually only does some routine testing and observation, and does not participate in the actual yàn.
This is also something that Shang Ke is happy to see, at least until they have the ability to be autonomous, and not to decide their future lightly.
Shang Ke stood in the water, holding the little mermaid and carefully feeding him. The little mermaid was lying in his palm, his little tail flicking and flicking, and his two round eyes looked left and right, as if he was curious about the surrounding qiē.
The other little mermaid, who had eaten enough, was lying in the shallow tank, looking at Shang Ke and his brother without blinking.
The two little guys were named "Yu Miao" and "Yu Ge" respectively, which were still taken in the name of Qin Yuan, but the others didn't care much about it, and they were usually only called by code names.
Put the little mermaid to sleep, Shang Ke handed over and left.
When I walked out of the real room, I happened to have a photo with the head of the research institute. Shang Ke smiled and said hello, but the other party just nodded coldly.
Shang Ke didn't like this team leader very much, not only because he was at odds with Qin Yuan, but also because of his attitude of indifference to animal life. Without Qin Yuan's supervision, his research methods would never be as gentle as they are now.
However, Shang Ke still underestimated his ruthlessness.
The next day, when Shang Ke arrived at the real yàn room on time, he found that there was a mermaid missing from the cultivation tank. Following the enthusiastic discussion of the researchers, Shang Ke found the little mermaid Miao Miao in another water tank.
The first time he saw him, Shang Ke couldn't believe his eyes. The appearance of the little mermaid has changed dramatically, the face is distorted and deformed, the back is full of light blue carapace, the two small hands have become pincer-shaped, and the original tail of the fish has been segmented, looking like a ...... Lobster!
"What's going on?!" Shang Ke looked angrily at the others.
One researcher replied, "The team leader did a frequency resonance test with a little mermaid and a lobster last night, and the little mermaid turned out to be like this. ”
Everyone looked at the little mermaid with both surprise and a sense of rejection and fear of the unknown.
Frequency Resonance Test! Baby mermaids have dolphin genes, which means that they have a certain chance of gaining the assimilation ability of dolphins, which can be transformed into other creatures. But they are so small, they should not take the initiative to convert.
However, the actual yàn of the research team leader induced his transformation in advance.
The little mermaid in the tank seemed to sense Shang Ke's breath, and gradually unfolded its curled body, its back slumped towards him, and its mouth made a thin cry. Humans can't hear it, but Shang Ke can hear it clearly.
He was in pain and was seeking comfort from someone he knew.
It is really heart-wrenching that such a cute little mermaid has become such an ugly and deformed appearance.
Shang Ke only felt his heart constrict, and the anger could not be contained.
At this time, the excited voice of the research team leader happened to come from the side: "It's incredible! This creature is simply the ultimate in reproduction, and can adapt to almost any living environment. ”
Adapt to your sister!
Shang Ke couldn't bear it, strode forward, and punched the old face of the research team leader, directly knocking him out.
The people around them were dumbfounded, they didn't expect Shang Ke to hit someone, and when they reacted, the research team leader had already fallen to the ground and wailed repeatedly.
Shang Ke didn't even look at him, turned around and took out the little mermaid in the tank.
"You're so daring!" The leader of the research team stood up with the help of everyone, pointed at Shang Ke with a distorted face and scolded, "Put the mermaid down, and then get out of my research room, get out of my research room." ”
Shang Ke didn't listen to his screams at all, and left the little mermaid with the little mermaid.
"What are you still doing in a daze, and you don't want to kick him out." The research team leader shouted angrily.
One person whispered: "Team leader, he is President Qin's person." ”
"I don't care who he is!" The research team leader was furious, "In short, my research room will not be able to accommodate him in the future!" ”
A few people hesitantly walked towards Shang Ke and whispered, "Haiyan, you should go first today." When the team leader is angry, let Mr. Qin talk about it. ”
"It's okay if you want me to go, but I'm going to take these two little mermaids with me too." Shang Ke placed Miao Miao in the sink and gently soothed his deformed body with his fingers. Miao Miao rubbed his fingers with a soothing look.
"You know it's impossible." One of the researchers looked helpless.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense with him?" The research leader's voice came again, "Get him out of here." A little breeder dares to be arrogant in front of me, isn't it relying on himself to get into Qin Yuan's bed? ”
Shang Ke didn't look back, two cold lights flashed in his half-drooping eyes.
"If you don't want to be too embarrassed, just get to know each other yourself and take the initiative to disappear from my eyes, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." The leader of the research team originally saw that Qin Yuan was not pleasing to his eyes, and he naturally did not have a good face for Qin Yuan's people, not to mention that this person slapped him in the face in front of so many people just now.
"I said, it's okay for me to go, but I have to take the little mermaid with me." Shang Ke said word by word.
"What are you?" The research team leader pointed at him and scolded angrily, "The mermaid is an important resource of the country, and you can't even take a hair with you." ”
"What are you doing?" Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, Qin Yuan strode in, and saw that Shang Ke was surrounded by everyone, his eyes were cold.
Everyone subconsciously took a step back and made a way.
Qin Yuan came to Shang Ke's side, checked his situation first, and then cast an inquiring look at him.
Shang Ke hugged the deformed little mermaid in front of him and said coldly, "The good thing that the team leader has done. ”
When Qin Yuan saw the appearance of the little mermaid, a flash of surprise flashed on his face.
The research team leader said: "This real yàn is very valuable, the genes of mermaids have extremely strong adaptability, and they can ...... according to different environments."
At this point, he suddenly paused. Because he suddenly remembered that this part of the mermaid's genes came from dolphins, in other words, the species that really has this ability is not a mermaid, but a dolphin!
The research leader's eyes were suspicious, and various real numbers flashed in his mind.
Qin Yuan frowned and stared at the research team leader for a long time, and said, "All the real yàn will be canceled today, let everyone have a day off, and go back to the real yàn room tomorrow." ”
I thought that the research team leader would object, but he was immersed in his own thoughts and did not react at all.
When the others saw this, they dispersed. The leader of the research team also left nervously with everyone.
Seeing that everyone was leaving, Shang Ke said to Qin Yuan: "You can't let him hurt the little mermaid anymore." ”
"He's the research team leader specially assigned from above, and I can't touch him for the time being." Qin Yuan comforted, "You don't have to worry, I will apply to my superiors to re-appoint a research team leader." ”
Shang Ke looked down at the little mermaid in his palm: "Before that, I want to take the little mermaid away from here." ”
Qin Yuan thought for a moment and nodded, "Then let's put the little mermaid and the waves together for the time being." I'll circle them a dive area in case they get hurt by other aquatic creatures. ”
In the afternoon, the two little mermaids were taken by Shang Ke to the living area of the waves.
When they arrived in the new environment, the two ignorant little mermaids felt both curious and a little apprehensive, and stuck to Shang Ke's side and did not dare to leave.
"Hailang, this is your junior, don't bully them." Shang Ke seriously told the waves.
Hailang nodded again and again, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the two delicate little guys in front of him. The little mermaid didn't seem to be afraid of it, and timidly stretched out her little hand and touched it on its mouth.
The waves sneezed, and the little mermaid immediately hid behind Shang Ke, and after a while, she couldn't help but poke her head out.
Shang Ke watched it funny and encouraged them to love each other.
In order to prevent any accidents from happening to them, Shang Ke simply turned back into a dolphin, stayed by their side day and night, and tried to guide Miao Miao to transform into her original form.
Shang Ke originally thought that the research team leader would come to make trouble, but he didn't expect that it would be calm for several days. It wasn't until Miao Miao's form finally recovered that news came from the research room that several new research projects were planned. The project is completely secret, and is authorized directly by the head of the research group to the head of the research group, and is known only to a few specific researchers. Unless the research team leader agrees, even Qin Yuan has no right to intervene.
Shang Ke faintly felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what would happen, so he could only be more vigilant to protect the little mermaid.
However, he didn't expect that this time it was not the little mermaid who was really dangerous, but him as a dolphin.
Shang Ke waited for the little mermaid to fall asleep, avoided the surveillance, transformed into a human form, and went ashore to find Qin Yuan to eat, temporarily handing over the task of protecting the safety of the little mermaid to Hailang.
He didn't expect that the process of his transformation was completely filmed by another surveillance.
Since the last resonance, the research team leader has realized that the evolution of dolphin genes is far more powerful than he expected. It not only improves the ability of organisms to reproduce, but also allows genetic recombination to transform into various forms that adapt to the environment.
From this, he also thought of another question, did the flame already have a mature transformation ability? If so, what form will it transform into?
In order to understand more deeply, the research team leader also installed several stealth surveillance under the water, and a day later, he clearly captured the picture that made him very excited.
In the sparkling water, a white mist and silver filament gradually appeared on the surface of the flame, like a ribbon flying, winding layer by layer, turning into a white cocoon.
Dozens of seconds later, the white cocoon atomized, and when the white fog dissipated, a young man with a naked body appeared in front of him. He turned his head slightly, and his beautiful and delicate side face was immediately exposed to the surveillance, and it was the breeder who joined the real yàn room halfway through - Hai Yan!
"Is it him?" The head of the research team was surprised at first, and then showed an uncontrollable excitement and ecstasy.
The discovery of a new species is not surprising, but it would be different to discover a creature that changed the evolution of humans!
At this moment, in his heart, those two little mermaids no longer mattered, as long as the flame was studied thoroughly, he would surely become the greatest scientist in the history of human evolution.
