Mermaid Effect

The mermanized Vincent has been completely reduced to low-level biological garbage, a disgusting monster without any sanity.

This is a very hopeless and painful thing.

However, what made Caroline feel like hell more than the severe physical pain was that she finally realized through this wound that Vincent treated her no differently than any other ordinary human being.

As a woman who had been with him for so many years and loved him almost with all her heart, Caroline had always had a secret thought.

She is special.

Oh, yes, this kind of thinking is silly, even Caroline knows it, when her reason prevails, she always tells herself not to be like a silly girl, who is overwhelmed by those overwhelming novels. , The film and television works have been brainwashed.

There will be no zombies in this world, and naturally there will be no boys who will still fall in love with a human girl even if they become zombies.In real life, most Alzheimer's patients only have urinary incontinence, but don't still remember to go out to buy a rose for their aging wives in the chaos...

Those things that are too romantic may really happen for some people, but for ordinary people, they are just a distant dream, a kind of urban fairy tale now.

Caroline knew all of this, and she realized more clearly than anyone else that it was absolutely impossible for her to get along with Vincent any further, even though she and him were once such close lovers.After Rand was kidnapped, there was a gap between her and Vincent that was absolutely impossible to cross, absolutely impossible.Even Vincent was still willing to contact her after this (he even let her be his personal assistant), for Caroline, it was already as great luck as winning the lottery.

but……

Yes, no matter how many reasons you use to convince yourself, no matter how rational she is, there is still a "but" behind all the reasons.

However, deep in Caroline's heart, she still can't help but have a little expectation, a little presupposed fantasy.

Maybe somewhere in Vincent's heart, there is a place for her.

No matter what he becomes, she can get a special treatment - after all, she has paid so much... so much for him.

Even when Vincent was most desperate and lonely, he always stood behind Caroline.

"Crack-knock-"

In the bloody ward, I recalled the sound of Vincent chewing the bones of those unlucky people.

It left a slender and dark shadow on the wall, and he looked at Caroline with a numbness and indifference that could not be ignored. The pupils reflecting the light were like glass balls, with a kind of coldness Inorganic feeling.

a monster.

The word crossed Caroline's mind.

Her Vincent has completely disappeared, and what remains here is just a monster.

This monster has now finished eating the corpse of the "Poseidon" team member. It has eaten too much, and its abdomen has obvious protrusions, and its movements have become a little lazy.Of course, Caroline didn't know whether it was because it was full and made its body dull, or it had already judged Caroline's weakness and powerlessness, and it didn't even bother to show its fierce side in front of her.

It's like when a cat catches a mouse, it occasionally plays loosely with the shivering little creatures under its paws.

Tears welled up in Caroline's eyes, and she gasped desperately, looking at Vincent who was slowly walking towards her.

Ah, not "walking", but "climbing".

With his hands on the ground, his tail twisted on the carpet like a snake, making a clear rustling sound.

Pale blue saliva spilled from his parted lips and hung on his chin, and his face, which seemed forever pale, was stained red with blood and bits of human viscera.

Only those eyes were shining brightly.

He was about to come and eat her.

Caroline was acutely aware of this.

Compared with the overwhelming despair that surged in her body before, she was a little shocked by the fear that surged in her heart at this moment.

She is more afraid of death than ever before, she discovered this, although just a few tens of seconds ago, her despair made her think that she was not afraid of anything anymore, she thought she was so painful that she wanted to die, but in the end she realized When the real death came, she was still terrified to the extreme.

And this kind of fear made Caroline squeeze out a thin hoarse cry from her throat before Vincent arrived. The tension in her vocal cords made her cry sound a little ridiculous.

Caroline staggered back, her feet kicking across the floor, she now looked like she was having a seizure, tears and snot smeared her face, blurring her distorted facial expression .

"Go away, go away, no, don't come near me—"

She screamed in confusion, groping around her with her hands habitually.

Finally she felt a cold, dry hand, its fingers were as soft as cotton slivers.

It was a hand belonging to a Spanish woman, severed at the elbow, and the large number of torn muscles suggested that it had snapped in the violent tearing.

Apparently, this was the scum that Vincent accidentally threw into the corner when he was biting her body.

Caroline let out an even more hysterical scream after discovering the severed hand, and she threw the severed hand towards Vincent.

A long blue tongue slid out of Vincent's lips, wrapped around the wrist of that hand, and then sent it into his mouth to chew.

And taking advantage of this brief gap, Caroline rolled and crawled towards the other side at an alarming speed, trying to escape from Vincent's hunting range.

But the ward, which was nothing to her in the past, is so hopeless at this moment.

Caroline only had time to take a few steps before she tripped and fell to the ground.

Her forehead slammed into the hospital bed that originally belonged to Vincent and was now in ruins. It was the various pipes extending from the hospital bed that tripped her.

A foul-smelling wind whipped Caroline's body. She fell to the ground, turned her head, and caught a glimpse of Vincent's black shadow that belonged to a monster from the corner of her eye.It looked down at her, and at some point it had come behind her like a ghost, its eyes flashed the naked and greedy eyes of a child when facing delicious food.

Obviously, Caroline's escape stopped Vincent's leisurely post-meal digestion exercise early, and he decided to eat some more——

Then he opened his upper jaw in front of Caroline's frightened and distorted face, the red blood stains remained between the rows of evenly distributed teeth, and it only took a short moment for him to swallow it in one gulp Drop Caroline's head.

He would crush Caroline's skull with dozens of rows of teeth in his mouth, like crushing a walnut.

However, it happened at this moment, at the moment when the Grim Reaper was about to swing his scythe—

"Hello, Vincent?"

A hoarse voice filled with drowsiness resounded on the floor.

……

Vincent, or rather, the monster, stopped all his movements at that moment.

It tilted its head in bewilderment, staring at the tiny piece of metal gleaming on the floor.

It was Wen Sen's mobile phone, and it was in a call state at this time. At the top of the screen, it showed the caller: Rand.

Although he has been in a coma for a long time, before this night, Vincent Sievers always had a phone next to his bed, because he was always worried that maybe one day, something would happen to his Rand that needed him (Although in reality, in order to avoid the embarrassing direct contact with Vincent, Rand would always only call Caroline, and then communicate with Vincent through her relay, who was forcibly left by Vincent The number in his mobile phone, which he never dialed once).

Vincent's cell phone also has a shortcut number, which can be dialed with one touch-but he rarely actually calls Rand.He knew Rand's resistance to him deep in his heart, so he always avoided making him uncomfortable.

And this night, when Caroline bumped into the hospital bed, the phone fell down, and by accident, it automatically dialed that number.

A number belonging to Rand.

……

"Hello? How are you? Vincent? What happened?"

In the apartment on Pine Street, Rand held his aching head and spoke bewilderedly over the phone.

He was woken up, and to be honest, if he hadn't seen the caller ID as Vincent, he wouldn't even have the desire to continue talking.He just wanted to get a little sleep before the work alarm went off.

However, not long after he fell asleep, Vincent made that call.

What's urgent?

That's how Rand felt about the phone call in the early morning, especially when he heard a few sobs and muffled ringing from the microphone, his worry swelled up like a compressed biscuit that had absorbed the soup.

"Vincent?"

He yelled into the phone louder.

Rand didn't know that his voice was echoing between a monster and Caroline in the weak boom of the phone's microphone.

The air between them stagnated as if it was about to freeze.

Vincent slowly lowered the paws that were pressing Caroline's back, and he slid awkwardly towards the phone. He put his ear on the phone and listened carefully to Rand's voice inside.

"...Land...De."

Amid Rand's countless inquiries, Vincent suddenly opened his mouth, and he called out the word slowly and with difficulty.

After a while, he repeated it again.

"Lan, De."

"Oh, God——" On the other end of the microphone, Rand felt his whole body relax instantly, and he switched to holding the phone in both hands, and all the drowsiness disappeared, "Vincent, what happened to you? Why didn't you talk just now? Did you encounter any difficulties...Hello, Vincent?"

After a while, his brows frowned again, and the silence on the other end of the phone made him feel as if his heart was being squeezed by something for a moment.

"...Answer me, Vincent, are you really okay?"

However, the call was suddenly hung up.

"Vincent!"

Rand took the phone away and stared at the "call ended" on the screen, his face turned livid for a moment.

And in the nursing ward of Shenbai Biotechnology, which has been reduced to hell, a mobile phone was held between the webbed hands of the monster.

Just now, the mutant that Wen Sen turned into accidentally hung up the phone.The breath on it became violent in an instant, and it grabbed the mobile phone in an attempt to retrieve the voice, but a few seconds later, the mobile phone was completely turned into scrap metal between his claws.

After shaking and knocking countless times, Vincent put the distorted mobile phone on the ground.

It put its face on it, trying to repeat the initial action to wake up that "voice".

rand -

This is the only thing it can remember now.

While it was dealing with the mobile phone that had turned into waste, Caroline cautiously extended her hand.

She grabbed a tube - it was connected to the bag of unknown objects that Dr. Clive played with in the first place - it was actually a special anesthetic specially developed for sirens.

Then, she slammed the tube into Vincent's back...
