…………

Located in the southernmost part of Manhattan, New York, there is a crescent-shaped sandy beach that connects to the Atlantic Ocean and an island visible to the naked eye on the west side.

Originally, it was a tourist attraction under a high-end hotel, but it was later acquired by the Walter Group and turned into a public beach with a superhero theme.

"Sorry I couldn't help you this time." Lying in the deep sea under the parasol, he was a little ashamed.

"It's been two days since Starlight Night, how is the situation of the motherland now?"

Xia Shang opened the panel, looked at the data on it, and frowned slightly.

[In the fusion of the Super Chest Cannon, the current progress is 40%]

It took almost half a month, and after absorbing a large number of No. 5 compounds, the fusion progress on the panel increased from 2% to 40%.

Although this progress is not slow, compared to the world of meows, it can be called a heaven and an underground, you know, in the world of meows, the fusion of a natural skill, at most, it will take no more than a week, or even just a few days to complete.

But now, in order to fuse the super chest cannon, he had to wait for more than a month, such a huge contrast, even Xia Shang could not digest it.

But after thinking about it, the super chest cannon is the top superpower of the black robe after all, and it is understandable that the fusion is slower, if it is replaced by Billy's laser eye, Xia Shang is sure that the fusion will be completed within half a month.

As soon as he returned to the company, he kicked Starlight out of his position as co-captain, and then threw a celebratory dinner. At the mention of this, Deep Sea's tone was a little excited, "Fuck! He actually forced me to swallow Timothy alive, he was a brute! ”

"Timothy?" Xia Shang, who was lying on a beach chair, asked while looking through the panel.

"It was my dearest friend, a sexy and gentle octopus, and I have many fond memories with him." Deep Sea picked up the soda and took a sip of it with great sadness.

"But these have been ruined by the motherland, and he is a demon, Satan who has climbed up from the abyss of hell."

"It's a pity." Xia Shang felt sorry for missing the famous scene.

"Thank you, I'm afraid only you can understand me, it was here that I met it, at that time, it was shy like a little girl, hiding in the reef and refusing to come out, and after the persuasion of its sisters, it was willing to swim in front of me." Deep Sea has a look of reminiscence, as if remembering that good time.

But a trace of astonishment flashed in Xia Shang's eyes, "Wait, she still has sisters?" Do you have more than one octopus? ”

"Isn't it weird? I call them the Timothy family, and since Timothy's death, I've had Afia and Liliana with me. ”

Outrageous.

Xia Shang can only use this word to describe the habit of the deep sea, although people's XP can be unpopular, but the XP of the deep sea can already be regarded as an evil door.

"The topic of octopus is put aside for the time being, what does the Walter board think about the actions of the motherland?"

"How else can you look at it, Edgar's retirement is a sure thing, no one can change it, I estimate that in a week at most, those old men will be forced by the pressure of the motherland to announce that the motherland will become the new CEO of the Walter Group."

To be honest, Shenhai now wants to die, Timothy's death has caused a huge psychological shadow for him, and the ghost knows what the motherland will do to him in the future.

"It would be nice if you were still in Vought." I have to say that the period during which Xia Shang served as vice president was the most comfortable life in the deep sea, at least he could avoid being persecuted by the motherland.

"Don't worry, there will be a day, by the way, did you bring what I wanted?"

"It's been ready for a long time." Deep Sea pulled out a document from the backpack beside him, which recorded the changes in his body at various depths of the ocean.

"Thank you, next time you encounter something like Timothy, you can report my name, presumably the motherland will sell me face."

With that, he got up and walked towards the ocean.

At the same time, he called up the fantasy value on the panel, [fantasy value: 10720], compared to half a month ago, there is not much difference, after all, he didn't expect that three days have passed, and the soldier boy has not yet moved, and it is estimated that there is a high probability that he is tracking the whereabouts of the former team members.

A doppelganger of Xia Shang is monitoring Walter's experimental base, and if there is any disturbance, Xia Shang's body can know it at the first time.

As the warm sea water submerged his body, he saw that several gaps were split on both sides of Xia Shang's abdomen, just like the body structure of the deep sea, and there was flesh and blood similar to gills in it.

"It kind of worked, but it didn't work much." The crack in Xia Shang's abdomen swallowed a large amount of seawater, and absorbed oxygen and expelled carbon dioxide, as well as deoxygenated water, but this way of absorbing oxygen was so low that it was outrageous, no way, who let him not have the corresponding superpower, and Xia Shang didn't want to fuse the superpower of the deep sea, after all, he had no interest in listening to the sea creatures.

This is even a side effect in Xia Shang's opinion, and the sequelae that will be produced by fusing deep-sea superpowers.

Therefore, Xia Shang could only continuously improve its internal structure according to his own ideas.

First he thought of the lungs for breathing, so he mimicked the working principle of gills and transplanted them into the lungs.

If you cut Xia Shang's body open, you will find that layers of internal skin flaps similar to gills have gradually grown on the inner wall of his lungs, and they are swinging at an extremely regular frequency.

But at present, there is still a problem that cannot be solved, that is, how to absorb the oxygen in the seawater, but if you swallow the seawater by mouth, the efficiency is not as good as growing a few gills in the abdomen, and after thinking twice, Xia Shang thought of the largest organ in the human body, the skin.

Without any hesitation, he swam directly into the deep sea, and the hot steam gushing out from his back made him go straight to the bottom of the sea like a torpedo.

"Adaptation heals itself."

As a passive talent skill, Xia Shang has not encountered it many times, especially after experiencing so many walks in the heavens, it is really difficult to meet a character who makes him injured and evolve, and the speed of evolution of this ability is slow and inefficient, but after all, this is only an ability in a one-star fantasy world, and it can't be too harsh.

With the cooperation of adaptation and self-healing, as well as Xia Shang's subjective control, the pores on the surface of his skin changed from absorbing seawater to absorbing some of the oxygen in seawater.

Because the oxygen consumption of the regular Xia Shang is two or three times more than that of ordinary people, even if the oxygen content in the seawater is very small, it can still meet the needs of Xia Shang. (End of chapter)
