365 Mermaid Laboratory 7

The submarine slowly followed behind the mermaid. There were three dots on the screen. The red dot in the front represented the mermaid, the white dot in the middle was their ship, and the white dot in the back was The submarine behind them.

The visibility in the deep sea is very low, and it is also dark outside under the searchlight of the submarine.

The fear of the ocean comes from the unknown.

When it's dark all around you, you have no idea what's around you.

Maybe you thought there was nothing, but when you turned around, the hunter appeared in front of you.

Through the front glass, they could only see an ocean of unknown depth, and the mermaid had disappeared.

But the little red dot on the screen continued to move.

After diving with the mermaid for nearly an hour, the mermaid stopped in one place.

Seeing this, Dr. Blonde also slowed down the speed of the submarine.

Just when they were about to approach the red dot, the screen flickered for a moment, and when the screen turned on again, the little red dot in the picture had disappeared.

Dr. Blonde's annoyed voice came from the front: "Damn, it's like this again, drive over!"

Is that the case again?

Xia Chi subconsciously glanced at the people around him. He thought that the person sitting opposite was his companion, but when he turned his head and saw a pale face and rolled his eyes, it was instantly bad: "..."

Damn visual impact!

Cough, but, again?

Does that mean that they have used this method to let go of the mermaid before, in order to find the mermaid's lair?

So the tracker disappears in one place every time?

The submarine dived for another distance and finally came to the place where the mermaid disappeared.

There is a tall coral clump in front of the merman disappearing, and behind the coral clump is a towering rocky cliff.

This looks like a mountain, shouldn't it be land before, and then the Banqiao movement became the ocean, right?

The submarine flew around the rock, and just when Xia Chi thought they were going back like this, Dr. Blonde suddenly pointed to a place, "Look there!"

The searchlight shone in the past, and in the steep rock, a slender hole could be vaguely seen.

"Hurry up, go over." Dr. Blonde's expression was a little excited, as if he was looking for something amazing.

As the submarine approached, they finally saw the place clearly.

It was a hole about four or five meters in diameter, and the mermaid could indeed enter through it.

Dr. Blonde said quickly: "Release the detector."

Xia Chi didn't understand what a detector was at first, but as the hatch opened, a flashing light turned and spiraled out, and when the picture appeared on the screen again, he understood.

It's the camera.

Xia Chi was about to probe to see what was in the monitor, when he suddenly saw Dr. Blonde turn his head abruptly.

His eyes with no eyes looked behind him, his head didn't move, and his pupils turned from left to right like a chameleon.

That action, whoever said it wasn't anti-human, was in a hurry with whom.

His eyes rolled, and his nose sniffed in the air, as if he was looking for something.

Xia Chi suddenly became a little nervous.

Looking at him on the deck just now, he seemed to have discovered the existence of his brother. Now he is in a confined space. Shouldn't he smell his brother again?

"Doctor, what are you smelling?" Xia Chi took a deep breath and asked Dr. Blonde boldly.

Dr. Blonde: "Strange, I've been smelling something since just now, did you smell it?"

Xia Chi: "What's the smell? I didn't smell it."

Dr. Blonde's eyes fell on Xia Chi's face.

After a two-second pause, he said slowly, "Of course you can't smell it, after all, you're just..."

Halfway through his words, he seemed to remember something, and then quickly stopped.

After a moment, Dr. Blonde rose from his chair. He continued to look up and sniff, walking forward as he sniffed, as if searching for something.

Soon, Dr. Blonde came to Xia Chi.

Xia Chi swallowed nervously, and saw Dr. Blonde put his nose to his neck and smelled it.

The moment the two were in close contact, Xia Chi smelled a fishy smell.

In fact, he smelled the smell on the deck, but because the sea was all around, he thought it was the sea breeze that brought the smell of the sea to him.

But now in a confined space like a submarine, he was finally sure that the smell was not from the ocean, but from Dr. Blonde himself.

Xia Chi subconsciously held his breath.

Dr. Blonde left after smelling Xia Chi's body for a while.

This time, he came to the seat behind Xia Chi, where Bai Lixin was sitting.

The heart that had just relaxed was brought up again, and Xia Chi quickly opened the private chat interface in the system.

Xia Chi: [Brother, where are you? 】

After a while, Bai Lixin's private chat came over, [Now he's next to another player, he's not seated. 】

Xia Chi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the turn, but it didn't take long for him to see Dr. Blonde approaching another player.

The player's mental quality is nothing compared to his own

What a difference, everyone looks like they are going to be scared stupid.

Xia Chi: [Brother, where are you now? ! 】

Bai Lixin: [At the front. 】

Xia Chi subconsciously glanced ahead, and saw that the other two NPCs also began to smell in the air.

Xia Chi's heart was in his throat.

Dr. Blonde continued to walk forward, and soon he returned to his seat, his expression looked a little dazed, and there was a bit of doubt in the daze.

He scratched his head, and it seemed that he was about to search for the second time, when he heard the driver npc beside him shout: "Doctor, there is a situation."

Dr. Blonde then turned his attention away from the surroundings, and his eyes quickly landed on the screen in front of him.

In the middle of the screen, as the detector continued to deepen, a hollow area appeared.

The probe is amphibious, and under the instruction of Dr. Jin Jin, the probe landed on land.

The searchlight had a limited range of visibility, and as the probe turned, they also saw the mysterious void on the screen.

This is not a narrow hollow, on the contrary, this place is very wide.

There are stalactites eroded by sea water everywhere, and the walls and overhead are pitted.

Just as the detector was about to continue to move deeper into it, a dark shadow suddenly flashed across the lens.

The next second, the picture on the screen is covered with white lines. The snowflakes flickered for a moment, and finally the screen was completely black.

Before the screen goes black, the middle picture is lit up once, and when it lights up, a leg faintly appears on the screen.

That leg is not a human leg, because the color is green, but the shape of the leg is very close to the shape of a human leg.

Dr. Blonde's eyes widened, he pressed the button on the screen a few times, only to see the lights on the screen flicker for a moment, and the picture returned to just now.

As the screen played, he saw the timing and quickly pressed the pause button.

The screen stopped at the moment when the shadow appeared.

The shadow was very vague, and the vagueness meant that the other party was very fast.

But in the blurry picture, Dr. Blonde still found the clue: "Come and see, does it look like a human?"

"It's two legs." Dr. Blonde pointed.

"Here is the head." Dr. Blonde pointed again.

Pointing to the top of the head.

"Here, its two arms." Dr. Blonde's voice became excited.

"Our discovery has made a major breakthrough, which is very likely to be a mermaid. In our past research, the body structure of mermaids can meet the needs of amphibious life. They not only have gills, but also nose and respiratory system. So they can Breathe through gills when in the water and through the nose when on land."

"If they just lived in water, they shouldn't have evolved nasal-connected airways."

"We had guessed before that the mermaid might complete metamorphosis like a frog."

"But they are more agile than frogs and can grow two legs like us when on land, and a tail when they are in the sea."

The driver retorted: "But the merman we caught, no matter how we experimented, they never completed this metamorphosis."

"Because they are very smart!" Dr. Blonde excitedly said, "This is what makes them smart, and they won't reveal their last cards. If they can really complete this evolution, it will further demonstrate their wisdom. ."

"Let's go!" Dr. Blonde stood up from his seat with a bang, "Go in and have a look."

The pilot nodded: "Okay, doctor."

After that, he maneuvered the small submarine and drilled into the hole.

The rocky walls inside the cave are rough and rough, and they had to drive carefully to make sure the submarine didn't hit the walls.

Soon, they came to the hollow area detected by the probe just now.

Before disembarking, they put out matches to test the oxygen concentration.

After confirming that the match was burning, the hatch of the submarine opened and the group walked out.

Behind them, another submarine quickly followed.

Personnel stepped down from the submarine one after another, each with a flashlight in his hand.

They gathered at the water's edge, and Dr. Blonde looked at the hollow with excitement and nervousness. "Go, bring the fishing gear."

The npbsp; who walked down from the second submarine heard the words and returned to the submarine. When they came back, they had a few more things that looked like pistols/guns.

Dr. Blonde took the fishing traps and distributed them one by one.

When it was sent to Xia Chi and glasses, it was just finished.

"..." Xia Chi: "What about our two o'clock?"

Dr. Blonde: "Your task today is to study, and you won't be able to use the fishing gear, so just watch it carefully."

Xia Chi: "But what if that monster suddenly attacks the two of us? We both have to protect ourselves."

Several NPCs looked at each other when they heard the words, and suddenly laughed a few times.

Dr. Blonde's next sentence successfully made Xia Chi and his glasses stand upright, "Isn't it better to attack you?"

Xia Chi: "."

Damn, feelings, did they intend to use them as bait from the beginning? !

Dr. Blonde: "Okay, just kidding, Jie Jie, you are me

Our future companions, how could we do such a thing to our companions? Just kidding, let's go. "

future companions?

A companion who has grown up like this?

That's not necessary.

The hollow area is not only full of potholes, but also divided into several roads.

They walked forward for a while, and soon saw a fork in the road with several dark passages behind the fork.

"When I watched the surveillance just now, the shadow should have come out of this passage."

Dr. Blonde pointed towards the second passage, "This is it."

He paused, and swept the flashlight around everyone. When the light shone on Xia Chi and the glasses, it seemed to stay for a long time.

summer pool

And glasses unconsciously tense up again.

Dr. Blonde gave them a weird laugh, and then dropped the flashlight on the other two NPCs, "You two, walk in the front."

The two NPCs didn't refute, they just said "um" and started walking inside.

After them, Dr. Blonde and others followed in their footsteps.

Compared with the hollow area outside, this tunnel is much narrower. Two people opened the way in front. After walking for about ten minutes, there was no way inside.

This is actually a dead end.

Under the special landform structure of stalactites, Dr. Blonde's voice was particularly loud: "There is no way, okay, turn around and go back."

Xia Chi glasses, who just started walking at the back of the team: "???"

It's weird, why did you suddenly turn around? !

So the two of them are now in the lead?

Xia Chi and Glasses looked at each other again, still feeling weird.

Along the way, the two of them walked carefully and cautiously.

When Xia Chi walked forward, he felt that his shoulder was touched, he turned back subconsciously, and there was no one behind him.

Xia Chi: [Brother, is that you? 】

Xia Chi was silent for two seconds, and quickly asked in the private chat window.

Bai Lixin: [? What? 】

Xia Chi: [Didn't you just touch my shoulder? 】

Bai Lixin: [No, I'm on another road, and I'm not on the same road with you. 】

Xia Chi's shoulders tensed up instantly, [It's not you, then... who could it be? 】

Bai Lixin: [You don't have to be afraid, you will be fine? 】

Xia Chi: [I know I'll be fine, but... no one can stop me when I should be afraid! 】

Bai Lixin: […]

I can't tell for a while whether you are showing off or selling badly.

Xia Chi: [Brother, which passage are you in? 】

Bai Lixin: [The first one from the left. 】

Xia Chi: [Have you found anything? 】

Bai Lixin: [There really is. 】

Xia Chi: [What is it? 】

Bai Lixin looked at the green-skinned monster who had been stunned by himself, and said after being silent for two seconds: [It is the monster you hate the most. 】

Xia Chi: [qvq]

After Bailishin ended the private chat with Xia Chi, he slowly crouched down and looked at the unconscious green-skinned monster.

Dr. Blonde is right, the structure of this thing is indeed similar to that of humans.

But it's only somewhat similar.

Well, at least as far as having a head, two arms and two legs, it's similar.

After the expedition team went to the middle just now, he took the first passage on the left. The reason why he took the first passage was that he felt the wind from the first passage. There should be an air vent behind this passage. If the creature is If they live on oxygen, they will choose to live near the air vent most of the time.

No, not long after he left, he encountered the first green-skinned monster.

Probably because eyes are not needed in the deep sea, the eyes of the green-skinned monster have disintegrated and disappeared. It is similar to a human head, with only one tusk, two huge ears and a big nose.

The head of the green-skinned monster is a bit similar to the structure of humans, and even the distribution of facial features is the same.

But there was nothing where there should have been eyes, so it was empty, and it looked really weird.

Bai Lixin opened the monster's mouth and looked at it. The monster's mouth was full of fangs. If you count it roughly, it would have to be over a hundred.

Without sight, they rely entirely on hearing and smell to locate their target.

He was walking in the tunnel just now, he didn't make a sound, but it should be the smell that betrayed his position.

So although he did not reveal his body, the green monster

Still attacked where he was.

Bai Lixin rummaged around on the monster's body, but couldn't find anything similar to gills.

How can you live in water without gills? Is it possible that we can only live in this hollow area?

What are these monsters?

Why are there still creatures living without gills in the ocean?

Is it the state of a merman becoming a human?

Shouldn't it be? Could it be that the adult fish will deliberately lose its eyes because it has no eyes to see?

Bai Lixin studied the green-skinned monster for a while, and was about to drag the monster forward when he heard footsteps coming from the hole.

He stopped abruptly, and saw the light of several flashlights coming in.

It was Xia Chi and the others. They walked out of the passage just now and came here?

The footsteps were messy, and as the light got closer, Bai Lixin quietly stood up from the ground and moved to the side.

Soon, Dr. Blonde and his party came not far away.

The researchers walking at the front quickly discovered the humanoid monster lying on the ground. They first cautiously threw two stones here. After the stones fell on the monster and there was no movement, they approached boldly.

A group of people approached, and successfully and successfully found the green monster that passed out.

"Doctor, this...you see...what would it be?"

Dr. Blonde's flashlight fell on the green monster. When he was about to lower his head to study the green monster, the green monster's arm suddenly moved.

"Doctor," an NPC said in a calm voice, "it moved."

Dr. Blonde glanced back and forth on the ground, and then when he picked up his hand, he slammed the green monster's head hard, and the green monster, who was about to wake up, fainted again.

Dr. Blonde said with a blank face: "Okay, continue to study."

Xia Chi glasses: "..."

Uh, this doctor is a bit cruel inside, bro.

Dr. Blonde observed the green monster for a while and then said, "Tie it up and take it back to study it slowly."

Looking at the very skillful movements of several NPCs, Xia Chi, who has never been helpful, said, "Doctor, do you think it will be a mermaid?"

"Mermaid?" Dr. Blonde sneered, "How can a beautiful mermaid evolve into such a ghost, this is not a mermaid."

"Although they are not, they are also new species that we have never discovered in the ocean. Take them back to study. The mermaid just disappeared here. Even if they are not mermaids, they are likely to be the companions of mermaids."

After packing the unnamed green-skinned monster, everyone started to move forward again.

Xia Chi and the glasses came to the back again, Xia Chi walked for a while, and his shoulder was touched again.

Xia Chi, who was already very scared, shrank his neck again, and the next second Bai Lixin's private chat started.

Xia Chi: [qvq, please help me, brother, help me, I have encountered a supernatural event again, and something is patting my shoulder again, woo woo woo. 】

Bai Lixin: [This time is really not a supernatural event, this time I am patting you on the shoulder. 】

Xia Chi: [? 】

Bai Lixin: [Don't be afraid, I have been behind you from now on. 】

Xia Chi instantly stood up, and his back was no longer hunched.

Bai Lixin followed them silently behind him, and he found that this scientist can be regarded as extremely powerful.

That green monster was about the same height as a human, with a body length of less than two meters, but because of long-term rock climbing, it was covered with thick muscles.

But these scientists can easily carry the monster in their hands, and they don't mean to struggle at all.

They still look human, but in a certain category, they are not the same as human beings.

Everyone walked forward for a while, and suddenly, Bai Lixin felt a wind blowing towards his face, and the wind not only swept the ocean

fishy smell, and some bloody smell.

The system reminded him that the invisibility time was approaching. He took out an invisibility card from his backpack and continued for another five minutes.

Bai Lixin didn't dare to go forward too much. These monsters attacked based on smell. If he walked to the front and the monster attacked him first, he would be completely exposed in front of this group of npbsp;.

With this gust of wind, the road behind started to be difficult to walk.

This time it is no longer a dead end, but I still don't know what the road ahead is.

I don't know if the familiar smell awakened the unconscious monster. After walking forward for a while, the monster bound into a zongzi suddenly opened its eyes.

In order to prevent the monster from biting, the scientists had wrapped a thick rope around the monster's mouth in advance. The monster struggled violently on the man's back for a while, and Dr. Blonde frowned, "Noisy."

After speaking, another stone was thrown, and the monster fainted again.

After experiencing the toughness of NPCs once, Xia Chi was much calmer this time.

After walking forward for a while, Dr. Blonde suddenly stopped. He pricked up his ears and pointed to the front: "Listen, is there the sound of water?"

When Xia Chi heard the words, he immediately raised his ears to listen. As Dr. Blonde said, there was indeed the sound of water in front of him.

It sounded like water slapping against rocks, making turbulent vibrations.

"Come on!" Dr. Blonde suddenly quickened his pace.

After everyone was walking and making progress, Xia Chi heard other voices in his ears.

It was a cry mixed with the sound of water.

The sound of the water became louder and louder, and the air became icy cold.

After passing another corner, everyone finally saw where the sound of the water came from.

This hollow is like a tunnel, dividing the sea in the middle, and now that they have come here, the sea has reappeared.

Something was shining brightly under the light, and Dr. Blonde shone the flashlight and stared at it for two seconds, "It's scales, it looks like a mermaid, walk over and take a look."
