Mermaid Effect

On a cold night in mid-December, the destroyer Munster and Rand were staying on finally approached the Arctic Circle. Because of the ice on the water, it stopped and waited for the icebreaker sent from the base to lead the ship.

The northern sea was unusually cold and quiet at night. For the first time, Munster and Rand stayed on the deck for a short while, because Rand planned to let Munster see the legendary aurora... However, they did not Luckily, there was nothing in the air this night but fine, falling snowflakes.

The extremely low temperature of minus 34 degrees Celsius made the snow particles as rough as gravel, rustling on Rand's frozen face.Even blinking can feel stinging, and breathing becomes difficult in this temperature.

Rand cast his sights into the distance, and there were large chunks of glaciers floating in the dark, icy sea water. The snow layer above the ice reflected faint light, outlining the gray-blue snow folds.

The whole world was so quiet, as if they had stumbled into the cemetery of the gods by mistake.

"Look, Snowflake!"

Munster's treasure offering usually puts a grain of snow in front of Munster.

"It's just different from the shape in the book."

It muttered in disappointment, watching the granulated snow gradually melt.

"Well, there are many shapes of snow, and you will see many beautiful snowflakes in the future."

Rand smiled slightly at it.

"Ah, on your eyelashes..."

Munster suddenly touched Rand's head with his front paws. Its face was very close to Rand, as if it wanted to see the silver crystals condensed on his eyelashes.

Rand subconsciously raised his head slightly.

Then he felt his eyelids being gently touched by Munster, and the monster's tongue gently licked away the cold snowflakes along the direction of eyelash growth, and squeezed the melted water droplets from the top into his mouth.

……

After a while, the overlapping figures slowly separated.

Munster tilted his head slightly, and gave Rand a satisfied smile.

"so beautiful……"

it says.

"...It's time to leave, Simon is still waiting for us."

Rand let out a silent sigh, and turned around first.

When they arrived in the room, Simon was fiddling with a tube of injection in his hand.

Seeing Rand and Munster quietly sneaking into the room, he pointed to the narrow side of the bed without raising his head, and motioned for Rand to sit down.

Without saying any nonsense, Simon directly entered the topic.

"That base was rebuilt from a -2 floating island. It can't accommodate a ship of such a large tonnage as a destroyer, so the destroyer will only stay on its periphery. After arriving at a fixed position, except for the necessary crew to drive the ship , the other members of this ship will take a small boat to enter the floating island base. What you need to do is follow the small boat and sneak into that ghostly place—”

He waved the injection in his hand, and then continued: "I will give you an injection of type I afp, which is antifreeze glycoprotein... Let me tell you first, this is a simple separation from the plasma of your little pet. The thing that comes out, I can't vouch for its effect, in theory it can keep you from freezing to death in arctic waters, but I still don't recommend you stay in the water for a long time."

"I know."

Rand said in a low voice.

In fact, he knows Simon's worries. He is probably the weakest link in the whole plan. Munster can easily sneak into the secret base to rescue Vincent, and Simon can enter there in an official capacity and carry out follow-up plans. If it weren't for worrying that Vincent would be the only one who could communicate with him in an unconscious state, Rand felt that Simon would even advise him not to participate in this operation.

"I will protect Rand."

Munster reached out and took Rand's cold fingertips.

Simon shrugged, then grabbed the floor plan of the secret floating island from the drawer, and spread it out on the bed.

"Okay, let me briefly repeat the plan of action this time."

……

Simon's plan can only be described as simple and crude, just like all Hollywood movies, he plans to blow up the so-called enemy's evil lair directly.

As the only remaining deep white former researcher, the Pentagon consulted him for a lot of key information and suggestions when transforming the -2 floating island laboratory into a new secret siren research base.

Considering the danger of the siren subjects, Simon "sincerely" provided them with a worst-case emergency measure.

——In the event that the siren experiment completely destroys the confinement room and escapes, and the weapon system fails, the master controller of the base can issue a "self-destruct command".

In order to avoid future troubles caused by the experimental subject escaping into the Arctic Ocean, the entire floating island laboratory will completely seal its own structure when the above three conditions are met, and self-destruct in order to eliminate the traces that may be left by this large-scale illegal biological weapon test.

"You and Munster's mission is to sneak into the floating island base and destroy the prison room where Vincent is imprisoned... I need the special code that the prison room was destroyed, and then I will overwrite this code in all other siren experimental subjects. In the electronic system of the chamber, the electronic mastermind mistakenly judged that all the confinement chambers were destroyed, and the siren subjects escaped completely."

"I see……"

"However, your task is very serious. After rescuing Vincent, I still need you to enter the control room. You will need to hold the person in charge of this base hostage, because if I guess correctly, press the button of "self-destruct command" The biological code of the person in charge will definitely be needed. This will not be an easy task, because once the electronic mastermind determines that a siren experiment subject has escaped, all researchers will evacuate as soon as possible, and you have to evacuate before the person in charge Find him... In short, no matter what, find a way to make him press that button! Next, I will remotely use a special worm program to cut off the electronic circuit between the main control room and the weapon system, and disable the entire weapon system. In this way, All three conditions are fulfilled, and this damn base will shatter itself into pieces. As for you, I opened a back door in the self-destruct procedure..."

Simon tapped on a drain on the drawing, and said.

"After the base is completely closed, only this place will be open. You, Munster and Vincent have 60 seconds to escape from here. Let me emphasize that you must swim as fast as possible! Ryan And I will wait for you in the nearby sea in a small boat. I contacted my friends in Switzerland...they can provide us with political asylum..."

The young genius put a watch with navigation function on Rand's wrist, and then injected the I-type AFP into Rand's blood vessel.

The atmosphere in the room became extremely dull and stagnant in Simon's deep and calm voice.

Like the air before a storm, this small air is filled with a sense of tension that cannot be described in words.

However, this may be inevitable.

Because whether it is Rand or Simon, they both clearly know that what they are about to do is an unprecedented massacre.

It's just that this massacre is necessary.

Without God's hand, the pathetic creatures created by human beings to satisfy their own desire to kill should not and cannot continue to exist in this world.A heavy sadness rose from Rand's heart, Munster stared at his face from the side, and suddenly leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.

"Don't worry, Rand, I'm a fast swimmer..."

It said softly, comforting Rand in its own way.

Simon quickly moved his gaze aside, he felt that he might never be able to adapt to a human being and a siren being intimately together in such a way.He imagined Ryan with a fishtail for a moment, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood up instantly.

Rand is a human, while Munster is a monster called a siren.Even if Munster has an incomparable human male face, its body structure still clearly shows the essential difference between the two.

However, there is something utterly intense between the human Rand and the siren Munster that binds them both.

Love, duty, and so many other complicated things mixed together that these two creatures could never be separated again.Simon could vaguely perceive certain emotions between the two of them, and after a short period of discomfort, he finally decided to respect their choice.

In order to make the atmosphere a little lighter, he smiled at Rand, and then said: "...We may be a thorn in the side of the US government in the future, I think we may have to go into exile in Russia in the end, God, you know I never thought before this that one day I would have the same treatment as my idol."

"Idol?" Rand asked, cheering up.

"Well, my idol is Snowden."

Simon smiled, and shook the phone in his hand at Rand - there was the worm program they would use today.

"Rand, take it easy...at least we have uncovered the government's dark conspiracy, ha, ha ha..."

His voice trailed off, ending with a dry laugh or two.

The room fell silent again.

Rand's expression was a little dazed, and his eyes passed Simon, as if looking far, far away through the stuffy and cramped cabin.

"I just don't understand." After a moment, he said in a low voice, "What?"

"I don't understand why they do this... On this ship alone, there are more than 90 normal humans who are going to receive the so-called 'evolutionary infection'. How many people will there be on other ships? I have seen so many siren test subjects all the time, they are so painful - because human beings have tortured them both physically and mentally in order to control them. Obviously anyone who has been in contact with this experiment should know that Siren Siren is a creature that humans can't control at all... I thought that the explosion of Shenbai would stop everything, but in the end, I found that human beings are preparing to create more Siren subjects. I don't understand why they want to do this... ...Why did Vincent lead such a terrible experiment in the very beginning, it has already created so many tragedies..."

"Who knows?"

Simon looked at Rand, whose face was pale, with a deep hidden fragility and despair in his expression.

"When I first participated in this project, what I knew was that the Siren project was an environmentally friendly weapon modification project, the purpose of which was to produce clean, non-polluting biological weapons - low cost, perfectly degradable, without Radiation, don't worry about the reserve amount causing disgusting international combat readiness competition...It sounds so perfect that it looks like a product of heaven. This is the original purpose of the Siren project." He said in a calm tone without a trace of waves.

"..."

Rand opened his mouth slightly, he looked like he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

At this time, there was a crisp and loud sound of the ice breaking from afar.

The icebreaker has arrived.
