Chapter 1754: Mermaid Taming Guide 26

After leaving the interrogation room, it started raining outside.

The city where Xu Yi lived was far from that island, and he had no idea what the situation was like there now.

He tilted his head up to gaze at the misty sky, lost in thought.

At the same time, on the other half of Earth, there was the Gene Experiment Blue Star Number One General Base.

You Zhuoran heard footsteps, withdrew his gaze from the moon, collected his thoughts, and went to meet them.

"Doctor Aidemeng."

"Don't be so formal, Captain You."

Aidemeng's health had recovered extraordinarily well; in just a few days it was already better than before he went to Number Ten Base. You Zhuoran saw this and returned a smile.

"How are you adapting here?"

"Not bad, thanks to the doctor's care and arrangements; otherwise, after Number Ten Base was destroyed, I'd be out of a job." You Zhuoran was forced to make small talk for a few sentences, and soon heard Aidemeng's topic turn to the main point.

"Come on, I'll show you the warriors here."

You Zhuoran's eyes flickered; he always felt Aidemeng had another meaning behind this.

It was said that Aidemeng had trained a batch that had preliminarily undergone the Gene Fusion Experiment and would have no animal appearance; their combat power was extraordinarily strong.

The only drawback was their short lifespan.

It wasn't ordinary short-lived; they didn't even have a few years of life—ten months was the end of their lifespan.

Ten months was also the time the headquarters laboratory needed to successfully complete the fusion of the next batch of warriors.

"Look, how strong they are." Following Aidemeng's gesture, You Zhuoran looked toward an open space that resembled a training base.

Instantly his whole body went cold, and he froze in place.

Dozens of bare-chested warriors were engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the most ferocious high-intelligence animals in the training field.

Lions, leopards, wild wolves, and even elephants.

These high-intelligence animals, whose racial talents had not yet been suppressed, had almost no chance against the warriors; charging forward would result in being torn apart alive.

The warriors' muscles were developed to the point of no longer being normal humans, and even the occasional glance in their eyes lacked any human spark, like puppets.

Flesh blurred, extreme cruelty, extreme savagery.

You Zhuoran never imagined that, in the entire Blue Star, which could be called the most cutting-edge experimental base of technology, he would see such a primitive savage scene.

Even You Zhuoran, who had come out alive from life-and-death battles, felt a chill.

"It's just a pity that we're still missing several sets of data, so we can't complete a transformation that would be virtually indistinguishable from ordinary humans."

Aidemeng suddenly spoke from behind You Zhuoran, his tone icy: "According to the lab's analysis, those missing sets of data might be obtained from Number Seventeen's body."

"Why?" You Zhuoran asked.

"Because he is a descendant of the sea god; gods have always been omnipotent."

Aidemeng's eyes even showed greed and desire as he suddenly slapped You Zhuoran's shoulder: "Captain You, lead my warriors and the Base Hunting Team to capture him; you can use the base's most advanced weapons."

"You can also contact Lin Juan, who was taken away by Number Seventeen; I believe he will choose to help me."

Thinking of Lin Juan, You Zhuoran's gaze shifted again, thinking that wasn't necessarily the case.

Aidemeng: "I have only one condition: within half a month, I want to see a mermaid."

"Otherwise..."

His gaze again unintentionally swept over You Zhuoran, the meaning obvious without words.

You Zhuoran's condition made him too suitable as an experimental subject for the warrior reserves.

Perhaps it could even extend their ten-month survival period a bit longer.

——

These days, deep-sea animals often came to play with Jin Chen; some could think just like him, had strange racial talents, even learned human language—high-intelligence animals; there were also "extraordinary" marine creatures that only Jin Chen could communicate with.

Lin Juan was categorized this way because, after being forced to coexist for these days, some high-intelligence organisms were actually called by Jin Chen "childhood playmates."

Lin Juan gave no comment on this, because Jin Chen's "childhood" best playmate turned out to be a jellyfish.

It also had a very nice name: Water Beauty.

Although Lin Juan never distinguished Water Beauty from other jellyfish, he kept mistaking it.

Another reason he could hardly accept was… what those animals called him.

"Queen!"

Still unaccustomed, Lin Juan forcibly crushed a seashell.

He took a deep breath and walked out.

"Queen!"

The freed white whale showed no fear of Lin Juan and even considered their relationship to be very good.

It shrank its body and swam over.

"Today the Great King said he wants to go patrol the sea surface with the shark pod; I came to find you to play!"

Lin Juan tried to ignore this title, frowning in doubt: "Do you still need to patrol?"

"Yes, yes." Water Beauty swayed its transparent tentacles: "The sea surface always has bad things trying to capture us."

"Former member of the bad things:"

Lin Juan coughed lightly: "You go play; I'll just wait here."

"No way, the Great King said the mermaid city has no other life, but he still specially allowed us to come in to keep you company."

Bang!!

As soon as the white whale finished speaking, the entire mermaid city suddenly shuddered.

"Ouch!"

The white whale fell over, stars appearing above its head.

Lin Juan also nearly fell, his face full of shock, "There's even ground under the sea……a seaquake?"

"Oh no!" Shui Mei, who grew up as a playmate of the merfolk, knows everything here like the back of her hand, "Your Majesty, please follow me quickly!"

Having said that, Shui Mei had already swum ahead; Lin Juan didn't have time to think further, he mounted his new steed, a white whale, and followed after it.

They went around the plaza; the light buns also looked anxious, jumping up and down, and upon seeing Lin Juan they immediately followed, circling around him.

However, Lin Juan wasn't a merfolk and didn't understand what these buns were trying to express.

Shui Mei stopped in the depths of the coral group behind the slide plaza; here there is a seabed fissure, a thick stone pillar set into it, the pillar's body crystal clear and translucent like a mirror.

"Your Majesty, bite your finger and drip the blood on it, then you can see the situation on the sea surface clearly," Shui Mei said.

"Mine? I'm just a human." Lin Juan remained silent, lowered his head and glanced at his own hand.

"No, you've slept with the Great King, you're already recognized as queen by the merfolk tribe," Shui Mei spoke very bluntly, "Besides, if you haven't exchanged bodily fluids, you can't breathe underwater."

Lin Juan: "... Is that so?"

How many secrets has this mermaid Jin Chen been hiding from him!

Lin Juan bit his finger and attached the blood to the stone pillar.

In an instant, the whole stone pillar glowed with a faint light, reflecting the situation on the sea surface.

On the sea surface a heavy rainstorm was pouring down, sky and sea merged into one dark expanse.

Behind Jin Chen floated a school of sharks and huge waves; on the reef, the hunting team of the headquarters base had lined up high-tech weapons, already several sharks had met their end, stranded on the shore and captured.

"Sure enough, it's that bunch of bad guys again!" Shui Mei exclaimed, covering her eyes halfway with her tentacles.

"Tiger Head! Tiger Head's been caught by them, no wonder there's such a commotion!" The white whale flicked angrily twice, "The Great King will definitely rescue Tiger Head."

Lin Juan's expression changed, he looked at the captured shark with complex eyes.

Although he still couldn't tell who was who, he had just seen Tiger Head delivering food yesterday, and it's said he's the leader of that shark school.

Lin Juan glanced a few times, his pupils suddenly contracted, seeing the wound on Jin Chen's back.
