Mermaid Effect

vol1

In Rand's original plan, he would lead Munster to climb down the drainage pipe on the roof, kick open the ventilation window at the blind corner on the eleventh floor, and climb directly down the garbage pipe until he fell into the garbage truck.If they had the stamina to survive the hardest hours of the day, they could escape in the darkness after nightfall.

To be honest, this is a very rough plan, but time is tight, and Rand really has no better way to think of it.

He doesn't even know how those people found here [Actually, this is a pan-crowd search operation without a specific target made by Shenbai Biotechnology under the pressure of a crazy woman and high-level officials, they are just trying to investigate as much as possible All the possible destinations of the targets near Kansas—of course, Rand didn't know this at this time] But a few minutes later, Rand found that his plan was really full of loopholes.

He looked lividly at the dark red rust in his hand, which he pinched from the drainpipe.After he observed the drainage pipe at close range, he found that it was an abandoned pipe left after reconstruction. The lazy workers seemed to forget to remove it after the project was over. In , the drainpipe is as flimsy as the chimney of a gingerbread house.Rand could even easily tear off a large piece of brittle iron sheet from it.

"That's why I hate unfinished projects..."

Rand slapped the rust on his trousers.

"I can hold you, Rand, and I can climb down, it's easy."

Munster poked his head out from Rand's side with great interest, and said.It looked at the rough wall and looked very eager to try.Rand frowned, being hugged by Munster and crawling on the wall at the height of the eleventh floor?

It was a bad idea in every sense of the word, but it certainly seemed like Rand's only option right now.

"Okay, but—"

Rand couldn't help but look downstairs, but this time, a van parked just downstairs where the garbage pipe was.

Several "men in black" jumped out of the car, and what looked like sanitation workers in yellow coats were pushing the garbage truck under the garbage pipe to the side of the road.

Obviously, what Rand could think of... the "deep white" people also thought of it.

Rand wanted to curse God. It seemed that there were still no angels standing by his side today. At this time, a member of "Poseidon" inadvertently raised his head and looked towards the roof .

"Damn!"

Rand jerked his head back, his heart pounding.

He didn't know if that person saw his shadow...he prayed he didn't.

However, a intermittent sound was sent to his ears by the wind.

"I think... the top floor..."

"Are you sure? We..."

……

Rand didn't know if his hearing was really good enough to hear the conversation below the eleventh floor, or if all this was a hallucination caused by his nervousness-but one thing is certain, he and Mance Te's situation is very bad now.

1 minutes ago -

Fifty meters below Rand, the raised "Poseidon" kept his head up for a while, until his officer shifted his gaze from the garbage truck back to him.

"'Spiked Seahorse'! Where the fuck are you doing?"

He let out a stern reprimand.

"Stinging Seahorse" blinked his tear-filled eyes due to the stimulation of the sun, then turned his head to look at his officer.

"Report sir! I think there are suspicious people staying on the rooftop!"

"Suspicious person?" The officer's face became serious. "Are you sure? We searched the entire building, and according to the feedback, they have checked the roof."

"Report sir! I'm sure!"

The answer of "stabbing the seahorse" made the officer pick up the communicator again.

Immediately afterwards, the two "Poseidons" who had stayed on the rooftop quickly climbed up the steps of the rooftop under the severe warning of the team leader, and there were other team members behind them as assistants...Of course, Everyone knows that the so-called "assistance" is just a nice term, and it is a measure of mutual monitoring on the loom.

The two "Poseidon" team members who didn't think that being lazy for a while would lead to this situation secretly groaned in their hearts... They didn't know that there were two people on the rooftop that would be worse than their situation.

Rand and Munster are now like mice cornered by cats, and they have almost nowhere to escape.

Rand returned to the gate of the rooftop, he turned sideways to observe the stairs, listening to the sound of footsteps getting closer (from the sound of footsteps he could tell that there were a large number of people), his breathing became more and more Heaviness, the bright sunlight shining on his skin made him feel a burning sting after another.

What should he do?

The tremendous pressure almost caused Rand to collapse. He had been cornered, and those people... all the "deep white" personnel wearing black special forces uniforms and the deformed mermaid logo were holding weapons.

It seems that the only way out for Rand and Munster is to catch them without a fight.

However, there was still a voice in Rand's heart that warned him sharply, if he, or Munster, were caught, there must be terrible things waiting for him ahead.The fear and bewilderment that had been forcibly suppressed deep in his heart by Rand swelled in his chest, and his body trembled.

No way out—that was all he felt right now.

"Rand..."

A hoarse whisper rang in Rand's ear, and Rand, who was extremely nervous, almost screamed because of it, but the owner of the voice, Munster, covered Rand's mouth before that.

Above its wet and cold paws, Rand's pupils dilated in shock and turned into a black circle.

"there……"

Munster pointed to the top of the roof entrance.

There, the brown iron frame firmly fixed two huge and polished stainless steel water tanks at the highest point of the entire building.

The diameter of the two water tanks is more than four meters, and the height is seven to eight meters.

Obviously, as an eleven-story high-end brothel, its water tank should also have enough capacity.

Rand's pale face finally had a trace of blood.

He nodded silently towards Munster, then opened his arms towards it.

The next second, his arm hooked Munster's shoulders, and he lay on its back, while the latter's palms and tail were attached to the wall, and he quickly crawled towards the water tank like a gecko.

"Da da da……"

The special footsteps made by the rubber soles of the military boots rubbing against the ground became more and more obvious.

The too smooth surface of the stainless steel water tank made Munster feel a little difficult. The very slender barbs on the surface of its skin allow it to walk on the rough wall as smooth as the ground, but when facing the smooth surface, it has to borrow other way of climbing.

Its long hair began to lengthen, winding upwards like a snake, and then caught the protrusion on the edge of the water tank.

With the help of these "hairs", Munster slowly climbed up with Rand on his back.

Rand slowed down his breathing, he was afraid that his weight would bring additional burden to Munster's body (although in fact, his weight had already made Munster's crawling challenge), in such a Under such circumstances, neither he nor Munster could make a sound.

Rand was very afraid that the intimacy of sticking behind Munster's back would make Munster feel his beating heart—in any case, Rand essentially hoped to maintain his intimacy in front of Munster. own calm.

He didn't want his attitude to make Munster feel any panic.

In the end, the only thing Rand could do was to put his face on the back of Munster's neck. Even in this situation, the cool scales of this little monster calmed him down a little.

He listened attentively to the conversations of those people below him, behind the rooftop gate.

"Report sir! There are traces of the door lock being opened!"

He heard someone talking.

His breathing was slightly stagnant.

At the same time, Munster had brought him to the top of the water tank, and it vigorously lifted the lid of the water tank—and the lid that hadn’t been opened for a long time made a harsh “creak——” sound at that moment.

……

"boom--"

Almost at the same time, the door to the roof was kicked open.

The metal door slammed against the wall, then bounced back, its roar echoing the sound of the tank lid opening.

At this time, Rand and Munster slid gently against the wall of the water tank into the cold, cold water.

A "Poseidon" team member glimpsed a shadow on the ground out of the corner of his eye.

That is the shadow cast by the water tank on the ground.

For a moment...he felt as if he saw the shadow shake.

He turned his head abruptly—

The metal water tank stands quietly above the entrance, and the stainless steel surface reflects the figure of the group below.Of course, its reflections are distorted and blurred.

The only thing that "Poseidon" could see was a black shadow... and that shadow belonged to themselves.

"Hey guy?"

A team member suddenly patted him on the shoulder.

"Pick up your gun," the other said.

As if waking up from a dream, the "Poseidon" reflexively picked up his gun, and then reflexively, he scanned the rooftops with his gaze...

However, the entire rooftop was silent, and there was no one other than them.

It looked like nothing but concrete floors, scorched and whitened by the Kansas suburban sun.

"Who the hell told me that there are suspicious people here?"

The two team members who had been severely scolded for being lazy before spat and uttered angrily.

The corner of "Stinging Seahorse"'s mouth twitched, and he patrolled all the blind spots unwillingly, but just like the discovery of his companions, there is not even a single ant here, let alone a person.

"Okay, martial law is lifted."

Their captain made a gesture.

Everyone's guns were put down.

"We need to search the downstairs part more carefully..."

After a few minutes, the team members who gave up completely walked towards the door.

In addition to "thorn seahorse".

He stood on the open space on the roof, frowning and looking at the water tank.

"Boss," he said suddenly, causing everyone to stop, "do you think the water tank here can hide a person?"
