Mermaid Effect

"boom--"

The loud sound pierced Ryan's bloody eardrum and could almost echo in his skull.The bullet whizzed out of the barrel, and then hit the mermaid's shoulder—it was so agile that Ryan aimed at the center of its eyebrows first.

The bullet made it spurt a stream of blue blood, but it didn't do any real damage...though it was clearly enraged.

It suddenly raised its head and grinned at Ryan. The face that was originally perfect like a Greek statue seemed to be separated up and down with the lips as the boundary. In the lips that were almost grinning below the earlobe, a row A row of fine sharp teeth flashed a cold light.

Lane was overthrown by an invisible but powerful force.

His vision was enveloped by a burst of white light, and his ears and eyes ached like they were being burned by fire.His body seemed to have fallen to the ground, but his confused consciousness couldn't judge this well at all.A hot liquid spurted from his throat.

It's an infrasonic attack.

Simon watched as Ryan fell down like a rag bag, shaking like an epilepsy on the ground.He himself fell down after a very short period of time, but his tolerance was better than Ryan's. At least he could keep his consciousness from passing out directly. The effect of crushing pain.

The "Siren" seemed a little weaker after that attack, the blue blood did not stop flowing, and the wound on the shoulder obviously caused a lot of trouble for it to climb out of the cocoon, and now it can only use one Crawling out with only one claw to fix itself.

The cocoon formed in the aquarium is not natural, it is a bit too small, and the siren...

Simon struggled to open his blurred eyes, enduring the severe pain and desperately thinking in his mind.The size of this mermaid should actually exceed three meters—it is simply a colossus. At this time, most of its tail is stuck in the cocoon, and the scales that have not been in contact with the air cannot be hardened normally. At the same time, it It also makes it difficult to move.

The only attack it can make is infrasonic waves, but it can be seen that it cannot do continuous attacks.

As a mermaid that is breaking out of its cocoon, this short period of time is its only fragile time, although for two ordinary humans, its "fragility" is still extremely terrifying.

Simon bit his lip hard, he felt that his ear was oozing blood... Of course, it could also be brain matter or something else, in short, he now felt that he was about to burst directly from the center.

In this state he slowly crawled towards the wall, which had the standard equipment of all bio-isolation chambers, an automatic locking weapon system for emergency situations.

In fact, in the original plan, it was supposed to be Ryan who restrained the mermaid, while Simon turned on the weapon system, and the two cooperated with each other to smash the damn thing, but the cocooned test body has indeed surpassed everyone expectations.

It could easily kill everyone, including Simon and Lane, if it could just crawl out.

That strong sense of despair filled Simon's heart again, but he didn't stop his movements, even though he couldn't get up much faster than a snail now.

The "Siren" noticed Simon's movements almost at the same time. Its blood-red eyes stared at the man in a state of distress, and there was also a yellow and black pattern printed on the wall not far from the man.It opened its mouth again, but it failed to emit any infrasound waves, and some high-frequency screams sounded, like a warning.

From time to time, Simon turned his head to the side to observe it from the corner of his eye.

It bared its fangs and claws, and its claws easily cut holes one after another on the steel plate floor, and it wanted to come over.

A half-crying, half-smile expression appeared on Simon's blood-stained face.He grimaced at the monster that was going crazy like a cat whose tail had been trampled on.

I can do it, I can do it, God, I can do it.

He was almost reaching the control panel, but at that moment, his legs felt a sudden numbness.

It was as if suddenly, his lower body was completely separated from his own body.

Simon twisted around as if he had seen a ghost. Thank God, his legs were still connected to his body, but a silver thread-like thing was wrapped around his ankle.

Oh no, God, you can't do this to me.

Simon almost wanted to scream.

He immediately recognized what it was, it was hair, the hair of "Siren".

No, the correct statement is that those are the hair-like tentacles of the mermaid.

Simon knew it, and although the thin hair-like thing looked very similar to hair in appearance, it was actually different in nature.They are all living cells, densely packed with nerves and poison glands.

That special toxin can easily melt an elephant into a thick and easy-to-absorb food liquid in an instant—this one has just broken out of the cocoon, and the poison glands have not yet fully developed, but it also easily makes Simon lose In addition to the perception of the lower body, the most important thing is that the numbness is still spreading upwards.

Simon looked at the merman in despair.

The latter turned his head and opened his mouth at him.

a grimace.

The mermaid...the monster...it made a face at Simon.

A fear that seemed to freeze his soul almost filled Simon's entire body.He had a very vague perception that maybe the monster in front of him was not just a powerful marine creature as their previous research had shown.

It may have some kind of intelligence.

But now, the grimace it showed to Simon was filled with the arrogance and coldness that a superior creature has when facing its prey. It was like a giant spider dragging its food, and slowly it was almost paralyzed. The fallen Simon was pulled in his direction.

Simon scratched the ground with his hands in fear, and two nails fell off, but his body was still moving involuntarily.

I'm dying--

I'm dying--

I'm dying--

I'm dying--

I'm dying--

I'm dying--

For a moment, this message was the only one in Simon's consciousness surging crazily.

"boom--"

Until a gunshot woke him up as if he had woken up from a nightmare.

The shell casing fell to the ground, and there was a crisp echo.

Ryan lay on the ground with a pale face, holding a gun crookedly in his hand.He hit it well this time, a dark blue hole appeared in the center of the merman's forehead, the bullet lodged in its solid skull, blue blood spurted from that wound, and it let out burst after burst. scream.

"I... said... I can do it..."

Ryan said hoarsely over the monster's scream.

Simon laughed maniacally as if crying at him, and then he crawled to the control panel and turned on the weapon system.

The MK-6 laser and a large number of bullets finally completely turned the mermaid into a pulp in a painful roar after 10 minutes.Its body had been laser cut into equal pieces, and all wounds had been carbonized to prevent even the slightest chance of self-healing.

A white noise, like that of electricity passing through the radio, overflowed the throat of the pure white head, and its blood-red eyes dimmed.

This man-made biological weapon, which could be said to be a masterpiece, finally died.

Simon leaned against the wall weakly, the numbness had spread to his chest, and he raised his middle finger towards the mermaid with great effort.

"I have the ability...cough cough...do this..."

He cried and laughed at the pile of white meat.

"Lane, Ryan we did it. Damn...we did it...we killed it..."

He continued to talk to Ryan.

Then I found Ryan lying on the ground quietly, as quietly as if he was asleep, quiet and silent.

"..."

Simon's voice seemed to be cut off suddenly by an invisible knife.

Silence spread in this blood-sweet space.

Simon stayed there silently, feeling the pain in his body sparkle like sparks, however, gradually, even the pain could hardly be felt.

Lives are being lost.

Simon gasped heavily, raised his hand and pressed the weapon system on the control panel.

This time he aimed at the two "cocoons" that hadn't hatched yet.

however……

Simon, who was ready to die quietly like this, fell to the side in shock after cutting the last two cocoons with the laser.

He couldn't believe his eyes.

He wanted to confirm it himself.

Yet he couldn't move even the slightest bit.

No, it's impossible.

that can't be the case...

absolute……

In the two "cocoons" cut by the laser, there should be two mermaids, but only some sticky mucus.

Some silver-white bone fragments fell dottedly on the back of the cocoon shell.There are obvious traces of external force tearing in the dead corner of sight that can only be found by cutting the cocoon thoroughly.

From the beginning to the end, the two mermaids failed to cocoon—because they were dragged out and eaten by something before they cocooned.

Simon tremblingly set his sights on the back of the petri dish, a place he and Ryan hadn't noticed before.

The metal plate there was corroded by a large amount of highly corrosive liquid, and a black hole appeared that seemed to lead to hell.

The blue blood left after swallowing the mermaid was like the bread crumbs left by the little fairy, directly sprinkled on the edge of the black hole.

"That thing" escaped.

After eating the cocooned merfolk and leaving the last one behind as a cover-up, it managed to escape.

Simon felt that his face pressed against the ground was becoming cold and stiff, he couldn't even close his eyes, he could only stare blankly at everything in front of him, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.

At the last moment when the complete darkness fell, he suddenly remembered something, something that was considered a joke by everyone before that.

They said that there is another secret laboratory underground in the SIREN-II secret laboratory, where Deep White is making a new type of biological weapon based on the siren.

They implanted human DNA in the Sirens, creating a special creature that can perfectly convert between native species, modified species and human forms.

And that's not nonsense... Simon thought, then fell into the dark and heavy chaos.

"No no no—no way!"

Rand screamed at the aquarium.

That strange thing... let's consider it to be Munster's thing, and it is trying to get out of the aquarium.

Rand didn't realize until this time that there seemed to be suction cups on its paws.

Its head was almost pushing off the flimsy lid of the aquarium, and Rand felt goosebumps crawling out of his body.He yelled and reached out to try to push it back, but accidentally touched the two tentacles on top of its head.

Oh, that feeling...

Rand felt that if he had fur, his hair would have exploded like a frightened cat.

Under the extremely tense situation, he didn't notice the slight numbness in his palm.

What didn't match its size was that the little monster had great strength.It desperately rubbed its head against Rand's palm, let out a tragic "chirp" sound, and at the same time continued to try to crawl out unwillingly.

"No, stop, stop!"

Rand was so out of his mind that he didn't think he'd ever be able to get it to crawl out of the aquarium and wander around his room until he figured out what it was.

What's more, its feel is really creepy.

Seeing that Munster was about to crawl out from the gap between his hands, Rand felt that his sanity seemed to be disconnected at that moment.

He casually took a magazine next to the aquarium, and slapped the little monster on the head vigorously.

"Go in! Go in!"

He screamed miserably at it.

The monster was whipped several times by the magazine, and it seemed a little dizzy. After resting its paws on the edge of the aquarium for a while, it maintained its previous state and fell back into the water stiffly with a "snap". inside.

The tentacles on its head drooped, and the color seemed to become a little darker.

Rand stood next to the aquarium with the magazine in his hands in horror, watching it slowly recover.

Fortunately, it finally didn't try to crawl out again. It struggled to get to the side of the weird "cocoon" before, and buried its head in it.However, its huge size forced it to expose most of its tail.

Rand had a clever move. He frantically rushed into the kitchen and pulled a cast-iron griddle out of the oven.Then he went back to the aquarium and pressed the extremely heavy grill pan over the top of the aquarium lid.

"Oh God, what the hell are you?"

He stared at the little monster in surprise, muttering to himself.
