Hesitatingly, I noticed that the golden-tailed mermaid's palms were very white, with veins faintly visible. Her fingers were webbed and very thin, giving the illusion that they could be torn apart with force. She pressed herself against the glass wall, getting close to the little mermaid.

The body was burning hot, the mind was blurred, and the person could not speak or even send out low-frequency cries for help. It was probably because, as a fellow human, the person could sense the other's life slipping away.

The little mermaid felt that if he wasn't saved soon, he might die.

The little fat fish was too short to reach the five-meter-high top, and couldn't find any steps to climb up. In a panic, it punched the tank.

One punch, two punches, three punches, his hands were all red from pounding.

On the fourth punch, he pounded the water column, creating spiderweb-like patterns.

Nobody knows how he did it. The water column wasn't made of glass, but acrylic, which is theoretically indestructible. Even a mermaid, which is four meters wide and weighs a thousand kilograms, couldn't do it, yet a small fish shattered it from the outside.

That's completely unscientific.

The little mermaid's hands were also hurting from pounding, but thankfully, the bones weren't broken, so she could keep pounding. Her fellow mermaid was so pitiful; the water was bubbling up, and it looked like he was about to be boiled.

He breathed on his fist twice, gathered his strength, and slammed it hard into the glass of the water column. Instantly, a large hole appeared, and water gushed out, washing the little mermaid away.

There were also shards of glass mixed in, but luckily the little mermaid had thick skin and wasn't scratched.

The water in the pillar was measured in tons, flooding the entire area and triggering an alarm. The little mermaid ran back to the pillar and hammered a hole just big enough for the water to drain, not enough for the golden-tailed male to come out.

Keep hammering.

Once the hole was broken, the rest was easier to deal with. He smashed it piece by piece with a hammer. Jin Le was already drowsy and weak due to the side effects of the drug, and without water, he quickly fainted.

The little mermaid forcefully pulled him out.

His body was burning hot.

The fish scales looked like they were about to be roasted.

It's scary to touch.

The other mermaids, seeing that the little mermaid could actually smash the transparent dome, kept banging on the glass, wanting him to save them too.

Nan Yu does have that intention.

The key issue is that humans don't give him a chance.

Upon hearing the alarm, everyone went on high alert, checked the surveillance footage, and saw the situation over the water column. They were all terrified and rushed over fully armed to catch the fish.

As soon as the door opened, water poured out, almost turning the research institute into a waterfall. The staff were furious and notified everyone, eventually reaching Qin Ye as well.

I rushed over.

The little mermaid was tied up and placed in a small fish tank.

The golden-tailed mermaid was floating beside him.

Zhou Xiaohai ran over wearing only his underwear, and he even lost one of his shoes. He stood in front of the electronic screen, reviewing the surveillance footage.

From the mating of two males and one female in the pool, to the little mermaid prying open the door with her bare hands, and even the infrared beams, he managed to dodge them all. He rolled and rolled all the way to the water column area, where he still pried open the door with his bare hands.

Finally, smash it with one hand... that's acrylic!

Since he had such great strength, theoretically he could have broken free of the iron restraints on the experimental bed, yet he obediently let them do as they pleased. Zhou Xiaohai felt a chill run down his spine, and everyone felt a wave of fear.

They've always treated the small fish like fry, so Zhou Xiaohai wasn't on guard. If he were suddenly attacked, wouldn't he die on the spot?

"Qin Suo".

Qin Ye also arrived travel-worn and still felt chilly. He was stunned when he entered the research institute. His feet were covered in water, and he didn't bother to put on his rain boots. He wanted to know what was going on with the mermaid, so he waded through the water to get to her.

Go to the water column area, where there is glass everywhere, and the little mermaid and the golden-tailed mermaid have been controlled.

"How did the mermaids that are kept in the pond end up here? Was the door unlocked?"

The man's voice was cold and stern. If it was really due to the negligence of a staff member, everyone in the experimental base would be implicated.

Zhou Xiaohai showed the notebook to Qin Ye.

His tone couldn't hide his excitement.

"It was him. He pried open the door and smashed the glass. Director Qin, this mermaid is very destructive. His physical strength and endurance are probably three times that of an ordinary mermaid. He is suitable for medication. He can also speak human language. In more than ten years, there has only been one like him. Perhaps we can select a female and let them mate. By changing the gene sequence through technical means, we may be able to cultivate a group of mermaids belonging to humans to help us find the underwater mermaid race."

At first, Zhou Xiaohai was filled with fear, but when Qin Ye arrived, he was only excited.

Since the ingredients in the medicine were increased.

The mermaids couldn't stand it; some died, and others were crippled.

Although a talking mermaid is rare, Zhou Xiaohai is more interested in studying their resistance to toxins and finding a way to make them shed tears, using mermaid tears as medicine to prolong life.

As long as one path is cultivated.

They will not only be remembered in history.

There will be a continuous flow of money.

The people in the research institute aren't particularly interested in money, but the things they research are very expensive. Only with money can they have better equipment to support their exploration of more unknown creatures.

Unexpectedly, it was an unremarkable-looking mermaid.

Give him such a big surprise.

Zhou Xiaohai couldn't wait to inject the little mermaid with the medicine.

But Qin Ye stopped him.

"If it can even break acrylic, then it doesn't have the arrhythmia that Dr. Zhou mentioned. In that case, I'll record this mermaid separately. Dr. Zhou should go back to sleep."

Zhou Xiaohai was not happy.

"Mermaid research has always been my responsibility. You've already stepped back from the spotlight, so stop racking your brains and getting involved. To put it another way, the chances of capturing a mermaid with such high intelligence are zero. Good resources should be shared by everyone, so why do you want to monopolize them?"

Highly intelligent people may be willing to compromise their principles for money, but when it comes to matters of principle, they will argue their case, even with superiors.

Qin Ye: "The Golden-Tailed Mermaid was only sent to the research institute the day before yesterday. I didn't want to hire you. This month, six have died, and you killed two of them today. Look at the condition of the Golden-Tailed Mermaid. Based on this data alone, I can fire you. You won't be able to stay!"

Zhou Xiaohai: "Those mermaids were already in poor physical condition. It was lucky that the air pressure didn't cause them to explode when they came from the deep sea to the land. It has little to do with the dosage of the drug!"

Qin Ye's eyes darkened: "Zhou Xiaohai!"

Zhou Xiaohai: "Go ahead and fire me if you dare!"

Putting aside the confidentiality of their job, Zhou Xiaohai has access to a lot of mermaid data and would not easily fire someone, since training a new one would be costly and time-consuming.

He dared to challenge Qin Ye precisely because he had the resources.

Qin Ye sneered: "Are you threatening me?"

Zhou Xiaohai gave a forced smile: "I'm discussing this with you."

Qin Ye: "Okay, submit a resignation letter tomorrow."

Whether Zhou Xiaohai's smile was genuine or not, it froze instantly. "Director Qin, are you kidding me? You want me to resign?"

Qin Ye corrected him: "It was your own request."

Zhou Xiaohai laughed angrily: "Have you thought this through? The data I have is enough for you to throw another billion."

Qin Ye was not someone who would be threatened. While staring at the screen, he said coldly, "The data can be redone. If you resign, you'll save a few more lives."

Zhou Xiaohai was furious.

He roared, "Resign! Anyone who doesn't is a coward! I hope you won't beg me to come back!"
