"It's a beautiful creature, isn't it?" Theodore raised an eyebrow and looked at Mercarron, the shock in his heart when he saw such a frozen girl for the first time was indescribable. The other party spent an unknown number of years in the cold ice like this, but time was meaningless to her, did not leave the slightest trace on her face, and still maintained the original perfection.

"Yes, I have to admit that this is the scene I have always dreamed of, the scene where I met Wang." Mecaren muttered softly, and he approached slowly, as if every step forward was a blasphemy. He trembled and stretched out his hand, took off his heavy plush gloves, and pressed his palm against the cold ice, as if he could feel the breath of the king through the thick ice.

"You've seen a creature like this before?" Theodore looked at the fanatical Macallen and knew that things were not so simple now. "Tell me, who is this? I don't think you would be so excited if you didn't know each other. He took out a cigar and lit it, the red butt of the cigarette emitting along with the smoke.

"Indeed, I have seen her face before, and I will never forget it." Macallan smiled, pulling the steel jug with the hot wine from the pocket of his coat, unscrewing the cap, and pouring the steaming wine down his throat. "It was a long time ago, it should be the history before the cataclysm, that incomparably bloody and dark history." He let out a snort with a rich aroma of wine.

"What happened before the cataclysm?" Theodore frowned, his eyes flashing with doubt. It's like a history that has been deliberately sealed, and no one knows what happened in the recent past.

"You can never imagine the world before that, beautiful and peaceful, with almost no wars." Mercaren sighed, her pupils shining with such a beautiful light. "It's a world where humans say they can't do the same, so they are in charge of everything, and they completely control the world like a creator."

"What happened after that? What is the reason for the emergence of the deep sea? Theodore's tone was a little urgent, he seemed to be just one step away from the door of the new world, and he was able to peek into the history behind the door.

"After that, it's destruction, endless destruction." Macallen took a deep sip of hot wine and washed her frozen body with red-hot alcohol. "On the last day of the old century, endless darkness began to spread on the surface of the sea, as if for a moment the blue was polluted by this suffocating inky black, they were tens of meters long tentacles, the outer bread was covered with impenetrable armor, countless ships sailing on the sea surface were pulled into the deep sea by this sudden creature, it was impossible to escape the doom, and the rescued survivors all shouted the devil in their mouths, their faces were covered with wounds and blood, and they looked like a completely crazy person. Without warning, the world began to change invisibly, and the ownership of the seas had been forcibly taken away from them by humans, who claimed to be higher animals, and there seemed to be no hope of returning. ”

"And then? I don't think humans will tolerate such an out-of-control situation, and will do everything they can to destroy these creatures. ”

"That's true, they're not sitting still." Mecaron nodded and continued, "Do you know how powerful humans were at that time? They have the power to destroy everything, they have endless knowledge and endless creativity, and no race can match them, and for such a creature that threatens their existence, they have made the decision to destroy it all, leaving nothing left. ”

"Humanity has used the Last Weapon?" Theodore seems to have guessed the ending.

"Indeed, it is indeed a weapon that can be called the end of the world—nuclear weapons." "They finally found the lair hidden in the depths of the sea, a location close to the North Pole, a world of extreme cold. At that time, the Ursel Empire was in control of it, and Emperor Lekov Ye agreed to the plan of final destruction, they sent an aircraft carrier group hiding in the harbor and countless submarines to set off from the port with countless missiles, they set sail confidently, and raised the human flag to start the final crusade, which was a desperate fight against the water, and there was no possibility of doing it again. ”

"Failed in the end?"

"It's a success, it's a failure." Mecaren sighed helplessly, "That battle was like the destruction of the world, countless carrier-based planes catapulted off from the deck of the aircraft carrier, carrying loads of explosives to the battlefield on the front line, those young pilots in order to be able to execute the plan perfectly, everyone wrote their own suicide note, ready to never return." They used their lives to drive fighter planes to drop bombs over the deep sea, and countless deep seas came out of their nests to fight back. This is a collision between two races, neither wants to be deprived of the right to survive by the other, each wants to rule the whole world, and everyone is a red-eyed madman who shows all his hole cards. That war emptied almost all of the world's arsenals, and almost everything that could be thrown out was used. The final outcome was as smooth as expected, the humans successfully swept the deep sea, countless corpses of the deep sea floated on the cold waters, and the soldiers of the empire managed to break into the lair and capture the deep sea girl known as the king, until they saw her true face, no one would believe that such a weak girl was the one behind the deep sea, with almost infinite power of destruction. ”

"Then the girl who is sealed here is the king of your mouth?" Theodore said.

"Indeed, because I was one of the directors of research at the time, there were many opportunities to get up close and personal with her." He looked at the girl sleeping in the ice, and there was unknown emotion in his eyes. "At that time, the queen was captured, and she should have been completely strangled, but Emperor Lekov Ye was unwilling to let this beautiful girl go like this, thinking that she could be used as research material for research on human genetic enhancement, in his opinion, such a creature is the existence at the top of the evolutionary tree, and it is an important weapon to dominate the world."

"So you started the research project?" Theodore smiled.

"The project began with the support of the Empire, when I was appointed as one of the leaders of the project as the youngest biology professor, along with many of the Empire's elite. At that time, our original plan was to take Wang's blood for analysis, then inject it into different animals to observe the phenomenon, and finally test it on humans. ”

"So she was dead then?" Theodore asked.

"No, no, how could such a perfect creature die so simply. She came to our institute as timid as a little human girl, with special restraints on her hands and feet, and at the slightest hint of movement, the hidden tranquilizer would puncture her skin and enter the bloodstream, quickly calming her down. Even though she never resisted, we kept her in a special transparent container, and arranged for soldiers to take turns guarding her every day with guns, and they could shoot the girl to death if there was anything out of the ordinary. A month passed quietly until that day came and completely disrupted everything. ”

"That day?"

"Yes, that day." Mercaren nodded, continuing her story. "That morning I went into the institute as usual to observe the animals that had been infused with the king's blood, but to my surprise, there was one less animal in the container, which was a monkey, a test item numbered 232. It fled at some point, and I felt uneasy at that moment, even though it was just a small animal disappearing, but I knew that it was definitely not that simple. When I ran out, there was a mess outside, countless crimson blood splattered on the metal walls, screams mixed with gunshots echoing throughout the Institute, the dead deep sea known as Specimens came back to life at some point, their flashing red eyes, their sharp tentacles easily piercing the chests of soldiers and researchers, tearing out the internal organs, beating hearts and lungs everywhere on the cold ground, like a slaughter, no one could escape. People struggle in agony in despair, and the deep sea laughs madly in death and blood. ”

"What about you? How did you escape? Theodore said.

"As one of the leaders of the research project, I know that the program was set in place to destroy the program. In order to avoid the leakage of the plan, the institute was built under a thick layer of ice, with cold liquid nitrogen flowing from the sturdy walls as a last resort. Once the research is completed as planned, pre-prepared liquids will pour out of the metal walls, and hundreds of thousands of tons of liquid nitrogen will be enough to seal everything and put these perfect creatures to sleep forever. Mercaren pointed to the ice beneath his feet, and through the surrounding miner's lamps, a faint trace of blood red could be seen. If I'm not mistaken, below is the floor of the institute, and you can even see the corpses still alive. ”

"So you didn't hesitate to start the destruction process?"

"Even as a civilian, I was still brainwashed militarily, and our mission at that time was to do everything for the Empire, even if it was sacrificed. So in order to completely seal the unexposed test, I rushed into the control room located on the top floor of the laboratory, shot all the personnel there, and pressed the destroy button. I saw the end of everything on the screen of the main console, the king and her knights of the deep were overwhelmed by a thick cold fog for a moment, countless people lost their voices in the cold, and then it was like a great purge, everything ended in cold and despair. Macallen sighed and looked around at everything familiar and unfamiliar, with a confused light in his eyes. After that, I sorted out all the information and escaped on a submarine. And when I returned to the interior, things were out of our control, and although I made a quick decision at the time, there were still fish that slipped through the net, and their huge figures began to reappear on the surface of the sea, and their terrible reproductive ability soon gave them the strength to fight again, and because they were no longer bound by the king, they began to destroy all the cities located by the sea in a frenzy, and carried out endless killing like venting. At that time, human beings no longer had the capital and strength to stop the counterattack of the deep sea again, and they were defeated one after another, abandoning the former ocean and could only huddle inland. The former Ursel Empire also fell into decay and eventually fell in that riot, and the vast power was firmly controlled by the ancient families, who tore the former giant apart, but under the threat of the deep sea, they abandoned this once glorious land. I migrated inland with my family, where I started a new life as a new admiral. With that, Mecarron tucked the empty bottle into her coat and put on the gloves she had taken off. This is the whole story, and since only a few people knew about the research project at the time, no one knew what that real history was. ”

"So in the end it was human greed that led to the tragedy?" Theodore concluded.

"Indeed, human desires are like rolling rocks in the mountains, once they start, they can never stop, and the final outcome is only to fall into an abyss with no bottom in sight." Mecaron nodded in agreement, he took a deep breath and looked up at the beautiful girl behind the ice, her pupils reflecting her sweet face with her eyes closed.
