Chapter 39 Chapter 39
"What the hell is going on!?"
The staff of the Mermaid Center were busy as a pot of porridge. The manager was frantic and said,
"How could the drainage tester suddenly break down?"
The technician was sweating profusely: "The drainage energy exceeded the testable threshold, and the machine failed."
"All?" The manager turned stiffly to a different machine, "The most sophisticated tester specially arranged by Professor Yin..."
The technician mourned sadly: "It also broke."
The manager covered his head in despair: "It's all over, that was the tester developed by the Mermaid Center at a great cost! What's worse is that it broke Professor Yin's plan..."
"What plan?"
A man in pure white clothes came into view, and the manager's hair stood on end: "No, nothing, I don't know anything!"
Professor Yin smiled gently and supported the other party's shaking body:
"You must be tired from work recently, right? You must be too tired to bear it. Go back and rest for a while."
The employees cast touching glances one after another.
Only the manager heard Professor Yin's cold and low voice:
"You don't need to come again in the future."
Professor Yin ignored the manager who was lying on the ground and left.
The subordinate hurriedly followed and said in shock:
"Professor, we can't use the tester to confirm the blue mermaid's ability to guide. What should we do next?"
Professor Yin corrected: "It's No. 55."
"It turns out to be No. 55..." The subordinate thought about it for a moment and was stunned, "It's No. 55!?"
No. 55, who was extremely dull and had unremarkable test results every time, rarely even raised his head in the laboratory. How could his real personality be so lively?
"I didn't recognize it." The subordinate was in a daze, "We confirmed that it had no research value at the beginning, but did we still need to test it?"
"Activate the backup plan."
"Backup..." The subordinate raised his voice, "In that case, all the mermaids in the sea will be in danger."
Professor Yin smiled indifferently: "If a few of them die, Star Network will only report that an accident has occurred. What does it have to do with the Mermaid Center?"
"What if No. 55 is dead too?"
"It means it is not a mermaid and has no value."
The subordinate felt cold in his heart: "After all, it is Admiral Wen's mermaid. I heard that he is ruthless on the battlefield. If you anger him..."
"Don't worry, explain it to him clearly afterwards, he will understand."
Professor Yin's whisper was accompanied by a sticky dark color: "He went to the battlefield for all mankind, and everything I do is also for all mankind.
Of course he will understand."

"I regret to inform you that due to irreversible damage to the machine, the counseling competition has been cancelled.
This event has been changed to a mermaid amusement park, which will still be held in the shallow sea area."
"Oh?" The machine is too weak, right? A makeshift team!
Mu Mu pointed to the sea: Let's go and see what an amusement park is!
Wen Ming held it to the shore and looked at the sea with the crowd.
Various toys and thousands of colorful fish were put into the water, and the clear blue sea was colorful.
"Ding Dong~" the broadcast urged, "The event will start soon, mermaid owners who have not put mermaids into the sea, please speed up."
Everyone glanced at Wen Ming at the same time.
He was the only one holding a mermaid on the shore, and the broadcast must be calling him.
Wen Ming's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he tightened his arms: It's too targeted...
Mu Mu was ready to enter the water, but he was held even tighter. He looked up in confusion:
"Ah?" Shouldn't I go in?
"What a beautiful picture!" An exclamation interrupted Mu Mu's confusion.
There was a mermaid in the sea interacting with small fishes. They were surrounding each other like ethereal underwater elves.
So many fish!
Mu Mu saw other mermaids playing and twisted his tail restlessly: "Hehe!" I want to play, too!
Wen Ming adjusted the position of the positioning clip on his hair and emphasized in a low voice:
"If there is danger, what will you do first?"
"Ah!" Find you!
Mu Mu swung his tail, slipped out of Wen Ming's arms, and jumped into the sea.
It shuttled between the small fish, squeezing its vocal cords and making a high-frequency cry.
The shallow-water fish had their brains forced to hear Mu Mu's call - '
Come here!'
Mu Mu circled its head and tail in an arc and turned in place.
Just as people were wondering why the little mermaid suddenly screamed, hundreds of small fish swam over and surrounded Mu Mu.
With Mu Mu as the center, the school of fish stirred the seawater into a tower-shaped vortex...
Everyone stared at this scene in a daze: "Even if the dredging competition is cancelled, this trip is worth it!"
"How did it do it? Do mermaids have such a strong influence on marine life?"
"I feel that the school of fish just swims in the direction of the seawater flow, otherwise it doesn't make sense."
Wen Ming listened to the speculations around him and lowered his voice:
"Mu Mu!"
"?"
Mu Mu heard the meaning of stopping from those two words and quickly stopped.
But the small fish around him were still spinning, and Mu Mu couldn't help but roll in the shaking water.
'Stop! Stop! '
Mu Mu shouted a few times in a daze, but the small fish couldn't understand the command and still swam along the trajectory just now.
"Bang——"
A loud noise suddenly came from the direction where the shallow waters connected to the ocean.
The little fishes seemed to sense some terrifying existence and fled madly...
Mu Mu steadied his body, his nose twitched a few times, and his brows wrinkled tightly: What a pungent smell!
Above the sea, energy particles produced strange vibrations.
Wen Ming was very familiar with this phenomenon, his face was cold:
Zerg?
The shallow sea area suddenly became chaotic.
The mermaids screamed and swam around, and the dangerous breath from the deep sea prompted them to gather on the shore.
Most of the humans on the shore did not understand the situation:
"Huh? Why isn't Mu Mu turning around?"
"What are you turning around for? Didn't you hear the noise just now? Something must have happened. Find a mermaid cage to pick up the mermaid!"
The highest level alarm was sounded on the radio, and the machine network was activated to catch the mermaids one by one.
Mu Mu was curious about what happened, but it promised to go back to Wen Ming if he was in danger.
It couldn't jump ashore by itself, so it swam to the shore and waited obediently for the machine net to catch it.
The motionless Mu Mu was a fixed "target", and the mermaids around it were uneasy, as they were all moving "targets".
But the strange thing was that the machine net caught all the mermaids in front, behind, and on both sides of Mu Mu, leaving only it.
Mu Mu simply jumped into the net by himself, but the machine net flipped violently and shook it out again...
"Ah!" This machine is crazy!
Mu Mu swam towards Wen Ming, cursing and waving:
Master, catch me!
"Hey? Isn't that Mumu? It swam over here by itself!"
Xiao Jun reminded Wen Ming, anxiously searching the sea: "Strange, why can't I see Huahua?"
Wen Ming leaned over and stretched out his hand to Mumu.
The little mermaid suddenly stopped.
It turned its head for a few seconds, then looked back at Wen Ming, its tail tangled and straight, hesitating to move forward.
Wen Ming urged: "Mumu, come here."
Mumu opened and closed his mouth several times, and finally pursed his lips firmly, and dived into the water.
Xiao Jun shouted: "Mumu, where are you going! There are energy fluctuations of the Zerg around!"
Wen Ming scanned the positioning of the optical computer, and the red dot representing Mumu was quickly moving away from him, approaching the area with the strongest Zerg aura.
[. 】
Xiao Jun beside him was knocked back a few steps by the sudden release of energy and hastily deployed his spiritual sea to defend:
"Wen Ming! Calm down, how can you activate your spiritual sea in your situation?"
The corners of his white shirt swayed with the energy, and Wen Ming's eyes were like torches:
"Quick battle and quick decision."
"Without a mecha, you want to use your spiritual sea to fight directly? You could do it when your spiritual sea was at its peak, but now it's too little!"
Xiao Jun failed to hold up Wen Ming's spiritual sea and retreated behind a reef:
"Fuck! This planet has been peaceful for hundreds of years, how could the Zerg appear?"
He looked back and forth over the sea: "Where is it? There are only energy fluctuations and I can't find its location... Wen Ming, this Zerg may be invisible, be careful!" Wen
Ming deployed his spiritual sea and detected in the air, but also found nothing.
His eyes froze and moved down to the sea surface.
Xiao Jun also guessed it and shook his head repeatedly: "Impossible! There has never been a Zerg that can enter the water!"
The Zerg, which has extremely strong fertility and vitality, has one of the few weaknesses that is that it cannot touch water.
Wen Ming strengthened his spiritual sea detection.
The mysterious guiding force just now stabilized his spiritual sea and detected the precise location -
"Underwater."
"Damn, if a Zerg that can survive in the sea really evolved..." Xiao Jun took a deep breath, "How can we fight in the future?"
Although human mechas can enter the water, underwater combat will greatly reduce their flexibility.
If they do not enter the water and attack directly on the water, the water layer separating them from the Zerg will weaken the strength of their spiritual sea.
Once this kind of Zerg breaks through the planet where humans live from underwater, the consequences will be disastrous.
The appearance of the insect tribe now is bad news for the mermaids who remain in the sea, and even worse news for the entire human race.
Unless, the natural enemy of the underwater insect tribe appears...
"Ouch——"
Mu Mu swam in the opposite direction of the escape of the small fish, towards the place where the smell was the most pungent.
"Ouch!" Help!
Huahua's cry for help was getting closer and closer, and Mu Mu also saw the instigator of this chaos -
a body covered with a hard shell and flexible tentacles that could bend and stretch underwater.
Mu Mu was dumbfounded: What is this! ?
The insect tribe raised its strong forelimbs and slammed into the metal fishing net that separated the shallow sea area.
"Bang!"
Mu Mu followed the undercurrent and when he looked over again, the fishing net was torn into a big hole, and the insect tribe drilled in.
The huge Zerg moved in front of Huahua, and the mucus secreted from its mouthparts fell heavily on it.
Huahua was so scared that she broke her voice: "Big brother, help me!"
Its tail was tightly entangled in a string of fishing nets. It must have been accidentally affected when the Zerg destroyed the fishing nets for the first time.
The Zerg raised its front limbs high at it...
No matter how Huahua swung its tail, it couldn't get rid of the fishing nets, and gave up the struggle in despair.
"Huahua, close your eyes."
Huahua closed her eyes according to the voice. The sea water in front of her seemed to have undergone some kind of fierce attack. The water layer that hit her face was misplaced.
She carefully opened her eyelids to open a gap.
The huge Zerg fell vertically, and with a dull sound of landing, mud and sand flew, blurring her vision.
Huahua could only vaguely see the silhouette of a mermaid.
Is that Big Brother?
No, Big Brother's fish tail is not that long, and his claws don't emit cold light.
So where did Big Brother go?
Huahua closed her eyes and thought carefully, but she couldn't figure it out.
When the sand fell back to the bottom of the sea, Huahua's tail loosened and she was rescued from the fishing net.
"Are you okay?"
"Brother!" Huahua threw herself on Mumu and cried, "Did I pay you enough for the protection fee? If not, remember to ask my little brother for it!"
"Yeah, I'm glad you're okay."
Mumu dragged her away from the "crime scene" quickly.
Huahua looked back again. Dark liquid floated out of the wound of the insect corpse. It could be seen from the area where the sea water changed color that there was only one wound.
Killed by a single blow.
Huahua shrank her neck, hugged Mumu's arm tightly, and said in fear:
"Brother, fortunately a kind fish saved us. The kind fish is so powerful..."
"Yes."
...
On the coast, two spiritual sea energies collided.
Energy waves were generated from the center of the collision, and the ears of the people who were shaken had a buzzing sound and were temporarily deaf.
This was a more terrifying threat than the unknown loud noise on the other side of the ocean, and the crowd scattered like birds and beasts.
The reef where Xiao Jun was hiding was shattered by the energy of the collision.
He poked his head out in doubt: "Who is it?"
"Sorry, I disturbed you." Professor Yin walked over slowly.
He gave his subordinate a look, and the subordinate immediately came to Xiao Jun and made a "please" gesture.
Xiao Jun looked unfriendly, and only left when he saw Wen Ming nod to him.
When there were only two people left nearby, Professor Yin spoke: "It's really an unfriendly meeting."
Wen Ming responded with a cold look.
Wen Ming had just gathered the available energy in his spiritual sea to attack the underwater insect tribe, but was intercepted halfway.
His spiritual sea returned to the incomplete state before the mysterious guidance, and it was difficult to mobilize it again.
Professor Yin also consumed a lot of energy in the energy collision, and a lot of sweat appeared on his forehead:
"Admiral Wen, why are you so impulsive? Can't the underwater creatures solve the underwater danger themselves?"
"The insect tribe is your arrangement." Wen Ming used an affirmative tone.
"Who could have expected such an accident?"
Professor Yin also used a positive tone: "Admiral Wen's spiritual sea can be restored to the current level, using some special method."
Wen Ming took out a syringe and injected skillfully: "As you can see."
"Drugs can only suppress, how can they repair defects? It is an extremely strong channeling ability..."
Professor Yin paused abruptly, and looked at the sea with Wen Ming.
Disappeared.
The energy of the Zerg dissipated without a trace in an instant.
"Admiral Wen, the mermaid you adopted is not an ordinary mermaid at all. You also know this, right?"
Professor Yin covered his face and laughed: "Finally found 'that race'!"
The special effect sedative began to work, and Wen Ming gathered energy around him.
"Don't resist so much. I have reasons for doing all this."
Professor Yin said in a stern tone: "You have also seen that the Zerg has underwater individuals. No one knows better than you how difficult it is to deal with underwater Zerg!"
The energy gradually became denser.
Professor Yin was fearless and enthusiastic:
"But the mermaid you adopted is the key to solving this dilemma! Facts have proven that it has the ability to kill underwater Zerg!"
He covered his chest with one hand, as if he wanted to take out his heart to prove his sincerity to the other party:
"Humanity needs the power to fight underwater. You are the admiral that everyone trusts and relies on. You should give it to all mankind!
It should also repay the kindness of mankind for raising it! Uh..."
Wen Ming launched a spiritual sea attack.
Professor Yin used his remaining strength to defend himself, and his spiritual sea made a sound of collapse under the heavy burden.
He sat down on the ground and coughed up a large mouthful of blood, staining his white coat red...
Wen Ming looked down at Professor Yin: "Are you delusional?"
Professor Yin swallowed the blood in his throat and sneered: "No matter how much you pretend to be stupid, you can't hide its secrets."
His subordinates hurried over, squatted down and supported Professor Yin: "Professor, how are you?"
Professor Yin's spiritual sea was damaged, and he half-closed his eyelids to adjust his state.
The subordinate felt blood on his hands and stared at Wen Ming vigilantly: "Did he attack you?"
"Think before you speak!" Xiao Jun stood on Wen Ming's side, "When a person with a normal spiritual sea confronts a disabled person, who is the one who suffers?"
"If there was no attack, why would the professor vomit blood?" "A sudden
attack of a serious illness."
"You!"
The subordinate almost vomited blood in anger.
He held back his anger for the moment and asked in a low voice: "Professor, have you negotiated, No. 55..."
"Ah--Hoo!"
Several people followed the sound and saw the blue mermaid's fins exploded, baring its teeth fiercely at Professor Yin.
Professor Yin called out softly: "Wuwu, don't you remember me?"
"No!" You bastard, don't you bully my master!
Huahua also helped out: "No!" Whoever dares to bully my big brother's master, step over my fish tail first!
Huahua's more and more timid roar.
It glanced at Wen Ming who was unharmed, and then turned to Professor Yin's white coat, which was stained with blood and was shocking.
"Woo." Big brother, wait a minute.
Huahua grabbed Mumu who was waving his claws: "Woo woo." Look carefully, who is bullying whom?
"Ah!" Of course my master was bullied!
Mumu didn't hesitate at all: "Ah ah!"
My master is gentle and kind, but so fragile that he will die if he is not careful. He is the most in need of protection in the universe!
He can't bully others!
Huahua:?
Xiao Jun, Professor Yin, and Professor Yin's subordinates who didn't understand but felt something was wrong: ???
Wen Ming quickly scanned Mu Mu's body, confirmed that it was not injured, and asked with his eyes:
"How is it?"
Mu Mu winked at him: "Don't worry about me! Got it!"
