Infinitely Criticizing the Villain for Being Like My Ex-Boyfriend

The egg-collecting crew arrived very quickly, and before Zhang Chunliang and Mermaid Bone could get out, the door suddenly opened.

Seeing that they were about to be discovered, the big bone wrapped around Zhang Chunliang's waist and quickly climbed up to the second floor with him, and hid in the wooden door at the end of the second floor.

Zhang Chunliang didn't dare to breathe, and looked downstairs through the gap in the wooden door.

Four crew members wearing strict protective clothing came in from the gate. Zhang Chunliang didn't know whether he should call them "crew members" because their posture, movements, and the way they treated the mermaids seemed extremely professional and indifferent.

More like a researcher observing experimental animals in a research institute.

It was unknown what method the few people used to "pull" Vio out from the deepest part of the pool. Vio kept struggling and twisting, but still swam towards the shore involuntarily.

"Number Nine is in good condition," said the leader, his voice sounding particularly dull through the protective mask.

"Of course, it is a very powerful one among the group of mermaids. If Captain Will hadn't just happened to develop a drug that can anesthetize mermaids, we wouldn't have caught it so quickly."

The crew member who was speaking roughly injected a dose of medicine into Vio's neck. In less than three seconds, Vio collapsed on the sand and lay motionless, like a dead fish.

The crew turned it over with their feet, observing its body condition and teeth, and finally used tools to roughly open its closed reproductive cavity.

Even though he was in a deep coma, Vio was still shaking all over.

"It's a very strong guy." A crew member praised, "It is the test subject that has lasted the longest so far. It has laid more than 7000 genetically excellent eggs for us. It looks like it can last another seven or eight days."

Zhang Chunliang expressed deep sympathy for this guy's plight. It seemed that it was desperate and chose to ask for help from a human who almost electrocuted it.

"Then kill those two defective ones. They have no value in existence." A crew member said casually, "They don't even have genitals. I don't know what you caught them for."

"Don't underestimate the speed at which mermaids heal." After completing the inspection, the crew member filled in a few data items and then kicked Vio into the pool. "Give them another ten days, and they will grow half a tail. By then, they will have reproductive organs, right? Captain Will believes that the reason why mermaid eggs always fail to be cultivated is probably because we have allowed mermaids and humans to hybridize. Next, we can try to let the mermaids mate on their own. Maybe we can produce higher quality eggs."

The tones of their conversation were casual, as if they were discussing how to raise better mice.

Soon, two more researchers came in from outside.

They were pushing a huge iron cage with two half-bodies imprisoned inside.

To be precise, a mermaid.

To be more precise, it was the mermaid who once wanted to attack Zhang Chunliang but was cut in half by the mermaid bones.

They were covered in blood, screaming and crawling in the iron cage, and were severely shocked by the crew outside the cage.

"You are so ungrateful." The crew member pushing the cage sneered, "You should feel honored to be able to contribute to the future evolution of mankind."

"They are just animals. How can they understand how great we are?" The crew injected anesthetic into the two mermaids, opened the cage, and kicked them into the pool.

"Let's wait a few more days. I hope they can lay eggs sooner. I'm really fed up with the salty and smelly sea breeze... I want to go home." The crew members complained and turned to walk out.

"Quack."

Suddenly, a slight sound was heard from behind Zhang Chunliang.

He suddenly turned his head and found a stone book of strange shape, which had somehow fallen from a shelf nearby.

The sound was very faint, but was quickly caught by several crew members downstairs.

"Who! Is there someone upstairs?!" someone shouted loudly, took out a gun from a backpack, and slowly approached the stairs.

Xiao Ai was originally coiled behind Zhang Chunliang, but now she sensed the danger and lightly climbed up the wall beside her.

This position makes it easy to sneak attack enemies that enter the room.

Zhang Chunliang didn't want to have a head-on conflict with the people outside, as this would alert the enemy.

It was undoubtedly very passive to expose one's existence before finding out how many monster armies the captain had created.

He pursed his lips and raised his head to look around the spacious room. In the center of the room, there were eight giant glass culture instruments lined up in a row, containing broken mermaid limbs.

The sturdy outer glass of the instrument had shattered, and the turbid liquid inside had dried up by half. The mermaid corpses in several of the instruments had disappeared. They were probably the mermaid skeletons that had once chased Zhang Chunliang.

This is an enclosed space, and there is no way out except for the wooden door.

Outside the door, the dull footsteps were getting closer and closer. Judging from the sound, at least three or four crew members were climbing up the stairs.

Zhang Chunliang listened carefully for a moment and shook his head at Xiao Ai who was eager to move on the roof.

He has an invisible prop here, which can help him avoid the search of the crew members.

He let Big Bone crawl to his side, hide against the wall behind the instrument, and used the invisibility cloak to cover the figures of both of them.

At first glance, the disguise seems flawless.

The footsteps soon reached the door and then stopped suddenly.

He suddenly had a thought and felt something was wrong.

The wooden door, which was not completely closed, began to creak, and the person outside the house opened the safety bolt of the gun without saying a word.

Zhang Chunliang didn't have time to think about it, and subconsciously summoned the teleportation prop, dragging the big bone from the room to the first floor.

As it turned out, his hunch was not wrong.

Just after the two left the room, the researchers outside suddenly kicked over the wooden door, raised their guns and fired around the room. The scorching flames brought up thick smoke and destroyed all objects in the house.

Zhang Chunliang: “…”

A layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

I didn't expect these guys to be so unconventional and kill everyone just because of some slight noises.

He couldn't imagine what would have happened if he had just hidden in the corner.

"Mermaids are very cunning. Not only can they use their tails to hide their bodies, they can also climb rocks and walls." A dull voice came from behind Zhang Chunliang, "The first employee rule of the Siren Institute is that any unreasonable and minor changes in places where mermaids are present must be handled in the most serious manner."

Zhang Chunliang was startled and turned his head quickly.

"Who are you talking to? Isn't the Siren Law something you have to memorize?" One of the crew members who stayed downstairs looked at his companion who suddenly started talking in confusion, "Are you under the illusion of the mermaids? These damn little beasts always want to cause trouble."

The crew member next to him who suddenly spoke had been silent since entering the swimming pool and had almost no sense of existence, but the other researchers all followed his lead.

At this time, the researcher was facing Zhang Chunliang's position, motionless, with a vague expression on his face covered by the protective mask.

"The smart and lucky little guy deserves a reward," he said softly.
