Mermaid Feeding Rules

Glass vials of narcotics fell to the floor, but no one cared about that now.

"Someone tried to kidnap the mermaid?"

Boyce looked away from the broken glass on the ground, subconsciously glanced at Professor Cyril, saw some surprise on his face, and then quickly frowned, his eyes were a little irritated, It seems that something is beyond my expectation.

The news that someone was trying to steal the mermaid soon reached the investors on the upper floors.

Professor Cyril left the laboratory immediately to preside over the overall situation, and now he is the only one left on the fifth floor.

After Professor Cyril left, everyone in the laboratory looked at each other in blank dismay: "Do you want to continue the anesthesia..."

Matthew put the things back in his hand: "It's still a question of whether the mermaid is still there."

Matthew looked around again and sighed: "Let's wait for the news here first."

This waited until the afternoon.

After the broadcast sounded, the researchers who were accompanying the investors all quickly returned to the fifth floor. Boyce sat in the laboratory, paying attention to the orders that sounded from time to time on the broadcast.

Around four or five o'clock in the afternoon, footsteps sounded outside the laboratory door.

Boyce and others in the lab subconsciously looked towards the door.

A somewhat unfamiliar researcher pushed open the closed door, Boyce looked at him, and his heart ached slightly.

Garcia, has he managed to leave?

The visitor stopped at the door, seeing everyone in the laboratory looking at him, he was taken aback for a moment before saying: "You can go back first."

Boyce's tense body relaxed a little, and asked about the current situation as naturally as possible.

"Don't we need to anesthetize the fish now?"

"The mermaid hasn't been found yet."

"He escaped from the institute?" Boyce's tone unconsciously showed a bit of eagerness.

"There shouldn't be any." The person who notified scratched his head, "After S-19 escaped last time, the research institute stepped up efforts to prevent the mermaids from leaving the research institute."

"There are people guarding the outside of the institute now, as long as they appear, they can be captured again."

However, no trace of the mermaid has been found from the surveillance.

"How many mermaids were lost?" Another person asked another question after listening for a while.

"Three..." The face of the person who answered was a little ugly when he mentioned this.

Boyce was also a little surprised. If the other party hadn't sounded the alarm at that time, the four mermaids in the research institute should have been successfully taken away by them.

Except for one mermaid that has not been transferred in time, the other mermaids are not in the pool and have not been recovered yet.

"Which one is the remaining merman?" Boyce asked.

"s-24."

Hearing that Garcia was not the one who stayed in the pool and failed to escape, Boyce was slightly relieved, but then he was a little worried about whether he could successfully escape from the institute.

Since the last time s-19 escaped, the research institute has stepped up its precautions in this regard.

"They're probably still in the research institute. Be careful." Remembering the last time s-19 killed Beard after escaping from the pool, he couldn't help but remind Boyce and the others, "What's unusual?" Remember to report the situation in time.”

After the person who notified him left, Matthew was the first to change his expression, and he finally couldn't help but let out his anger after holding it all afternoon.

I have to admit that the investor's behavior of calling everyone who can spare time to greet him has brought great convenience to the people behind the scenes to steal the mermaid.

"If it wasn't for the investors, how would they dare to attack four mermaids at once..."

They couldn't help complaining a few more words that this investor is useless now, even the research institute has been inserted by so many people, and it wasn't until now that three mermaids were taken away that this matter was exposed.

Regarding the behavior of investors, the people in the research institute are somewhat complaining, especially now, after causing such a large loss.

Among a group of colleagues, Boyce's calm expression seemed a little out of place.

The people on the side also noticed this: "Boyce, you don't seem very angry?"

"S-37 was supposed to be sent away today." Boyce lowered his eyes and took off his gloves. "The mermaids in other experimental groups have nothing to do with us."

After Boyce's voice fell, there was a moment of silence in the laboratory.

Matthew listened to Boyce's words and felt that it really made sense. To put it bluntly, several groups in the research institute were in a competitive relationship. After the mermaids in Professor Cyril's group were sent away, they did not seem to be comparable to other experiments. Group.

However, now the mermaids of the other groups have all been stolen, leaving only s-24.

"Shouldn't you refuse to propose to study mermaids together?" a researcher suddenly said.

Originally, only Professor Cyril's experiment within their group was delayed, but now the experiments of the other two groups will also be affected due to the loss of the mermaid.

"Actually, it doesn't matter." Matthew, who had been listening for a while, suddenly laughed.

"The teacher told me a few days ago that a new mermaid will be sent over soon."

"But new mermaids may not be able to be sent to our group..."

"The investor promised the teacher before." Matthew said, "We will send the S-37 there, but they must send the first mermaid they catch to our group."

New mermaid?

"Is there any news yet?"

Matthew nodded: "I've caught it, and I'm on my way back."

It's just because the mermaid was identified before it was captured, so it didn't notify the entire negative fifth floor, but only informed Professor Cyril, and Matthew also learned the news from Professor Cyril.

Boyce listened to Matthew and the others start discussing the new mermaid, and was a little distracted. The institute caught the news of the new mermaid, should I tell Anthony...

……

Boyce was the last person to leave the laboratory. After closing the laboratory door, he subconsciously looked down at the time.

Usually at this time, Boyce should have just finished dinner, and then took the food prepared for Garcia to feed him.

But Boyce just stuffed a lot of bread in the afternoon, and now he doesn't want to go to the cafeteria.

Almost subconsciously, after checking the time, Boyce moved in the direction of Garcia's breeding room.

It wasn't until he took out the access control card that Boyce realized that Garcia had left now and was no longer here.

He stood at the door for a while, and finally pushed the door open.

Probably during this period of time, he got used to Garcia floating on the water and waiting when he opened the door. Boyce was not used to looking at the calm pool water.

Boyce sat on the lifting platform, looking down at the pool not far away.

When he first met Garcia, he seemed to be staying quietly at the bottom of the water, as if he knew that Boyce was still afraid of him at that time, so he consciously kept the distance between the man and the mermaid.

At that time, Boyce probably never imagined that he and Garcia would become what they are now.

He even started thinking about other merfolk because of Garcia.

Boyce sat on the lifting platform for more than half an hour, and didn't get up until he felt thirsty on his lips.

He put one hand in his pocket and touched a pair of small earplugs.

It was given to Boyce by Ivey when he first took over Garcia's breeder task, but Ivey had left the Institute a few months ago, and Garcia will leave here today.

And Beuys didn't need them much earlier.

Boyce took out the earplugs from his pocket, glanced at the pool behind him, threw the pair of earplugs in, made a ripple and quickly calmed down.

A relieved smile appeared on Boyce's face, as if speaking to another person, but also as if talking to himself: "It's a good thing to leave..."

He also took out what was left in his pocket.

Inside are a few pieces of candy. Some time ago, Boyce always snatched some candy snacks from his colleagues and took them to coax Garcia.

After a long time, my colleagues thought that Beyce liked it, but Beyce couldn't explain it, so he could only acquiesce and accept the candies handed over by his colleagues.

But because Garcia is gone now, after Boyce took out the candy, he didn't know who to give it to.

Boyce peeled off the candy wrapper, put the candy in his mouth, and the faint sweetness melted in his mouth.

He remembered that in the past period of time, Garcia was always keen to share the snacks he got from his hands with him.

The mermaid put the peeled candy in the palm of her hand and handed it to him: "It's sweet."

Boyce blinked, crumpled up the candy wrapper, and put it in his pocket.

"It's really sweet..."
