Yan Zi and the others sat in a spacious laboratory, surrounded by various large bottles and jars.
Some of the bottles and jars contained many mermaids, which were clearly not good things.
Some of the fish's tails had been removed and replaced with various bizarre animal limbs, as if they had been sewn together to form a unique new species.
Yan Zi frowned deeply, her heart filled with unease.
Could it be that young master Sarabo was also turned into one of these monsters?
If it's been researched and turned into this state, would the dragon princess still acknowledge it after it's rescued?
With a hint of trepidation, she navigated around one glass jar after another before finally landing on the control panel.
The place was already deserted...
Yan Zi: "Everyone, split up and search. Remember to report any developments immediately."
"yes."
The group began to explore.
This is a very spacious laboratory. The bottles and jars containing mermaids alone take up most of the space. Each jar contains a half-mermaid, with the body and tail separated into two parts, which are fusing with other races...
The dishes we saw in the front were just the avant-garde ones; you could still clearly tell they were mermaids. But the ones hidden in the back were rather unsightly…
When Yan Zi first looked over, she almost vomited.
This was the first time she had ever lost her composure like this.
She thought of Mingyue, and her heart skipped a beat. These people were, after all, her people. Now that she had witnessed such a tragic scene, they must have gone to seek out the enemy.
She pressed her temples, trying to calm herself down, and attempted to contact Mingyue, but to no avail.
We don't know the situation on the other side, so we have to put this matter aside for now and deal with things here first.
The mechanics had been dealing with the damaged electronic devices around them for a full hour before finally deciphering their contents. The deciphered contents were truly astonishing.
These guys are actually using these merfolk for human experiments!
The goal is to create a new type of human and establish their multi-race system!
Looking at the dense experimental data and the enormous number of mermaids, Yan Zi felt uneasy.
That mermaid descendant is probably in grave danger!
Yan Zi looked at the mechanic who was still working hard to decipher the code and asked directly, "Let's figure out how to decipher all the mechanical doors here first. We need to go inside and take a look. Make a copy of all the extra experiments first, and then delete them all!"
The mechanic nodded vigorously and then began his work.
Yan Zi wasn't idle either. She tried to remove the contents from the glass tubes and release the mermaids inside, but as soon as they were released, the mermaids convulsed and died instantly.
Without exception, every mermaid they tried to release convulsed the moment they touched the air, then instantly disintegrated...
Yan Zi felt increasingly strange; why was this thing so odd?
Yan Zi pondered for several seconds, then ordered everyone to stop and cease processing the mermaids trapped in the experimental vessels.
Su Wanying: "Boss, shouldn't we release all these people?"
Yan Zi shook her head: "So many have already died after being released, which proves that this is not a solution, or that the people inside were already dead. There is no need for us to do anything more. The most urgent task is to rescue Young Master Sarabo."
Su Wanying struggled a bit.
“But they are conscious! One of them kept blinking at me. After I got him out, he held on for ten minutes before he died. Maybe we should get some out first; perhaps they can live. Even if they don't, they'll die in reality, not in a container…”
Upon hearing this, Yan Zi frowned and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"You mean you want me to take all these mermaids out of the vessel?"
Su Wanying paused for a moment, then nodded.
With a hint of pity in her eyes, she said softly, "These people are so pitiful. Letting them out is a way of saving them."
Yan Zi nodded.
Su Wanying smiled with her eyes crinkling, but as soon as she turned around, she was knocked unconscious by an elbow strike from behind.
Many people were surprised when they saw this scene.
They were all somewhat confused; what exactly was going on?
Yan Zi pinched the bridge of her nose: "Send a therapist to see what's wrong with her?"
Zhou Yan heard Yan Zi's words from afar and hurriedly brought his family's therapist over.
The therapist rushed over, but before she could even catch her breath, Zhou Yan instructed her to use her skill on Su Wanying. A moment later, a pale pink gas floated out from her forehead and then vanished into thin air.
Yan Zi narrowed her eyes.
She looked around and asked in a low voice, "Did Su Wanying touch something just now? Was anyone with her just now? Come out and say something!"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally created a short-haired girl.
She paused for two seconds before recounting what had just happened.
"Sister Su only became like that after she took a mermaid out of the glass tank. Before she touched it, she was perfectly normal, but after she touched the mermaid, she became very gentle with it. I thought she was feeling sorry for it..."
There's no need to say more; everyone understands.
Zhou Yan's face darkened, and he felt an even greater sense of disgust as he looked at the mermaids around him.
"Is there something wrong with these mermaids? How come they can bewitch people again?"
Yan Zi: "Can you tell if it was just affected, or if there was a triggering factor?"
The therapist was silent for a while before answering, "It should be caused by the triggering factor. Miss Su must have been hit by the same skill before, so when she encountered these things, she was the first to be infected and affected."
Yan Zi sighed softly.
Zhou Yan asked with some concern, "How is she now? Will she continue to act foolishly?"
The therapist shook his head.
"It shouldn't happen now, but it's very likely that we'll be affected again next time. To prevent it, we have to find a way to completely eliminate that power, otherwise we'll be affected again soon."
Zhou Yan sighed deeply.
Where should I go to get this done?
Seeing that he suddenly became somewhat downcast, Yan Zi simply handed Su Wanying over to him. "I'm leaving Xiao Su in your care. Make sure she's not affected by the mermaid again."
Zhou Yan nodded and took Su Wanying to a safe area, gave her a lot of medicine, and waited for her to wake up.
After the two of them left, Yan Zi turned to the healer.
"Tell me the specifics!"
