Chapter 40 Chapter 40

The subordinate helped Professor Yin leave the seaside and said unwillingly: "Professor, you confirmed the combat capability of No. 55, but you still left it with Admiral Wen?"

"Don't worry." Professor Yin lowered his voice, "Go and recover the Zerg experiment first."

Humans have only captured this underwater Zerg, even if it is a corpse, it must be recovered for research.

The subordinate nodded: "The experimenter has dived to the location where the Zerg died. The message sent back said that there was only one fatal wound and it died cleanly."

"Good!" Professor Yin was excited and coughed up blood again. He wiped it off without much care, "It's stronger than expected."

"But..." The subordinate glanced at the information on the optical computer again and spoke slower.

Professor Yin endured the pain of the damage to his spiritual sea: "What's wrong?"

"I didn't find the label on the outer shell of the Zerg experiment."

"Label..." Professor Yin stopped abruptly and muttered to himself, "Wen Ming asked me last time if '55' was a number. He saw the label on No. 55."

The subordinate was angry: "It must have gone wrong during transportation. I will definitely strengthen management."

Professor Yin covered his face and laughed a few times: "So that's the case. I finally know why Wen Ming didn't take the initiative to attack me!"

"Ah?" The subordinate lost his train of thought.

Professor Yin turned around and looked at the shore: "Wen Ming, he guessed what happened in the laboratory..."

The laboratory at the Mermaid Center has a complete system. If Professor Yin gets into trouble, it will be like cutting off the tail of a gecko. The laboratory will be quickly moved.

Professor Yin disappeared, and then Professor Wang and Professor Li would appear...

"Wen Ming came to participate in the activities of the Mermaid Center to fish for evidence and uproot me and the laboratory behind me."

The subordinates suddenly realized: "He not only wants to protect No. 55, but also wants to rescue all the mermaids in the laboratory?"

They regarded No. 55 as prey, but they themselves became Wen Ming's prey.

Professor Yin's face darkened: "Immediately suspend all research in the laboratory!"

...

"Ah, ah..."

After being pulled out of the sea, Mu Mu kept crying restlessly.

Xiao Jun cut off the fishing net wrapped around Hua Hua's tail bit by bit, and asked curiously: "Is Mu Mu uncomfortable?"

Wen Ming checked the little mermaid's condition, and when he touched its hand, it punched him with its fist.

"It's okay." Wen Ming replied to Xiao Jun, "We'll go back first."

"Go ahead, Mu Mu might be scared, go home and take a break."

Wen Ming carried Mu Mu back to the airship.

"Go ahead." He closed the airship door, "There's no one else now."

Mu Mu pursed his lips, showed his tightly clenched fist, loosened his fingers -

a label lay on his palm.

It was marked with a string of numbers mixed with letters and numbers.

Wen Ming remembered the "55" label when he first met Mu Mu, and every detail matched this one.

"On the Zerg?"

Zerg?

Mu Mu put his fingers on his head to indicate tentacles, and then imitated the cry of the strange species:

"Roar~"

"Yes, it's the Zerg." Wen Ming added seriously, "Mu Mu didn't learn it at all."

Mu Mu was embarrassed and angry, and swung his arm and threw the label on him:

"Ouch!" Isn't it enough for you to recognize it?

Wen Ming chuckled and opened a few bags of snacks for it: "Great job."

"Hey!" It's easy!

An additional clause to the "Three Rules": If the dangerous person you encounter has the smell of Professor Yin on him, do your best and keep its label.

Mu Mu stuffed snacks into his mouth: "Baji?" But what's the use of this for you?

Wen Ming patted its back and said vaguely: "Mu Mu, you don't need to worry about these. Just go to sleep if you are tired."

"Ha-yawn."

The little mermaid experienced this kind of battle for the first time. In addition, it changed into a hunting form, which consumed a lot of psychological and physical energy.

Its stomach was like a bottomless pit. It ate three large bags of snacks and took a nap on the wall of the water tank.

Wen Ming raised the soundproofing board of the airship and made a light computer call.

"Wen Ming?" When the other party answered the call, his face was full of surprise.

It was a woman in military uniform, with a heroic high ponytail sweeping over the epaulettes. The patterns on the epaulettes symbolized the highest status in the army.

Wen Ming gave a military salute: "Marshal."

"You actually took the initiative to wipe out my brain." The marshal's tone was full of hope, "Is the mental sea stable? Can I return to the battlefield?"

"No."

The marshal frowned: "The Zerg are about to move recently, and unexpected changes have occurred. The army is in urgent need of strong combat power.

As much as you can earn as President Wen, I guarantee you can earn as much as you come back as General Wen. No, you can also get promoted!"

Wen Ming twisted the label with his finger: "The variable refers to underwater?"

The marshal was startled: "How do you know?"

Wen Ming: "In the grooming competition held by the Mermaid Center, underwater Zerg appeared."

"What is Professor Yin doing!"

The Marshal raised his forehead and said, "The only underwater Zerg captured alive is in Professor Yin's laboratory. That laboratory focuses on studying Zerg, and he is looking for a way to deal with it."

"Will the news of what happened in the counseling competition be blocked?"

"Yes," the Marshal affirmed, "The number of underwater Zerg appearing is extremely small, and I don't want to cause panic among the masses."

"Regarding that laboratory..." Wen Ming showed the label to the other party.

"Dongdong!"

The soundproof board behind him was knocked, interrupting his words.

Wen Ming clicked on the control panel to lower the soundproof board and lowered his voice:

"There are more than just Zergs in his laboratory."

"Huh?" The Marshal asked in confusion, "What else?"

"Ouch?" Mu Mu stretched his neck and stopped knocking when he saw Wen Ming from above the lowered soundproof board.

"Ouch!" Don't leave me alone here!

It was as uncomfortable as being locked in a mermaid cage in a laboratory.

Wen Ming smiled at it soothingly, and his tone on the phone was chilling:

"There are also mermaids."

After hanging up, Wen Ming returned to Mu Mu and started a new round of coaxing it to sleep.

The little mermaid has no worries, and she can sleep soundly with a full stomach.

It sleeps in a messy posture, with one claw resting on Wen Ming's hand.

Wen Ming's eyes fell fixed on its round nails, and he whispered softly:

"I'm sorry, only by exposing the secret can I guarantee your safety..."

Wen Ming's current spiritual sea can hardly cope with the robbery of the mermaid center, but the "rare species" is protected by interstellar law.

Professor Yin tried hard to maintain his false image and would never violate the interstellar law on the surface.

Mu Mu's secret is not a weak point, but the best barrier to protect itself.

*

After the counseling competition, Mu Mu discovered something strange——

"Ah?" Why are you looking at me all the time?

Mu Mu had a fish forked in his paw and was swinging its tail uncomfortably in the swimming pool.

Wen Ming usually put it in the swimming pool and went about his own business, but today he stayed by the pool and stared at it closely.

Mu Mu bit off a small piece of fish with reserve and chewed it:

"Woo woo." I can't even enjoy my meal when you look at me like that...

Wen Ming guessed what it meant, but stayed where he was without moving.

Mu Mu tilted his head: I'm occupying your swimming pool, aren't you happy?

It suddenly dived into the water, caught all the remaining fish in the swimming pool, and threw them onto the shore.

Then she waved to Wen Ming: "Ah!" Come down too!

Mu Mu's train of thought is hard to guess, but no one can resist its ice-blue eyes that flash with expectation.

In Wen Ming's eyes, the little mermaid was firing a large number of barrages at him:

[What's wrong with coming down to accompany me for a while? ]

[I just want to swim with you, and you won't even agree to such a small request. ]

[Come here quickly, I'm counting down, three, two——]

"Wait a minute."

Wen Ming pressed the automatic cleaning button of the swimming pool, picked up Mu Mu, and let it sit by the pool: "I'll be right up."

Mu Mu: ?

The swimming pool's cleaning system created an undercurrent in the pool water, which made Mu Mu's tail itchy.

It lifted its tail which was soaked in water, its nose twitching, and found that the smell of live fish in the water was getting weaker and weaker, replaced by the smell of disinfectant.

Wen Ming's footsteps approached from behind, Mu Mu pointed at the swimming pool, turned around and complained:

"Ah!" The water is polluted... Eh?

Wen Ming was wearing a pair of swimming trunks.

When he walked to the edge of the pool, he touched Mu Mu's head casually and jumped into the water.

The swimming postures of humans and mermaids are very different.

Mermaids mainly rely on their tails to get power, while Wen Ming skillfully swayed his shoulders, waist and abdomen while diving underwater for a distance.

"Wow!" Mu Mu's expression lit up, and he followed into the water.

It swung its tail and caught up with Wen Ming at an extremely fast speed.

Wen Ming lay on his back, facing the bottom of the water, while Mu Mu turned over and swam under Wen Ming, facing him. It

was the first time that Mu Mu saw Wen Ming underwater from underwater, and he was extremely curious:

"Bo." So you can swim too! Although it's slow, I won't give up.

These words came out of Mu Mu's mouth, forming a bubble, which hit Wen Ming's face with a whoosh.

Wen Ming tilted his head to breathe, and also blew a string of bubbles at Mu Mu, as if responding to his favorite underwater games.

Mu Mu: OvO

Mu Mu felt that his heart was filled with that bubble.

Otherwise, why did his chest feel like it was pierced by a small thorn?

"Bo!" No, it was really pierced!

Mu Mu grabbed the thing dangling in front of his chest and took a closer look - a shell.

It was its favorite shell with blue patterns.

A small hole was punched on the shell, and it was worn on Wen Ming's neck as a pendant.

Mu Mu was holding the shell in a daze, not noticing that the shell necklace was pulling Wen Ming, and he couldn't breathe.

Wen Ming simply sank down, hugged the little mermaid with both hands, and turned over with it.

Mu Mu felt dizzy in a trance, and then he opened his eyes and found himself lying on Wen Ming, who was floating on the water in a backstroke.

"Ah?" Why are you wearing a shell as a necklace?

Mu Mu shook the shell in his hand and asked in confusion.

When the noble supporting character in the soap opera showed off to the protagonist, he said that his necklace could buy a planet.

Mu Mu didn't quite understand the function of the "necklace", but according to soap operas, only valuable treasures would be worn around the neck by humans.

"Huh..." Don't we have anything more valuable than this shell?

Mu Mu drooped his tail fin in frustration: It seems that there really is nothing.

Wen Ming patted it: "What's wrong?"

Mu Mu hummed dejectedly: I used the money I earned from the last live broadcast to pay off my debts, and I'll buy you a nice necklace next time I earn money.

Wen Ming saw that it was listless, and gestured to the housekeeper by the pool.

The housekeeper clamped a small bottle with a mechanical arm and handed it to Wen Ming.

"After the pool water is cleaned, it is switched to a disinfection mode suitable for humans." Wen Ming sprayed the bottle at Mu Mu, "You don't like the smell of disinfectant, do you?"

The pungent smell of the pool was instantly covered by the ocean perfume.

The top note is the strongest fishy and salty smell of sea water, the middle note contains the liveliness of flying birds and fish, and the base note is like the warm sunshine and breeze.

Mu Mu unconsciously let go of the shell, grabbed Wen Ming's wrist, and sniffed hard with his nose against the mouth of the bottle.

More!

"No more today." Wen Ming held the mouth of the bottle, "Mermaids can't smell too much perfume."

Mu Mu broke his fingers: "Oh?" Really?

The chest under him shook with Wen Ming's chuckle: "Mu Mu actually doesn't believe me, so sad."

Mu Mu let go of the perfume bottle in panic, and put his two paws on his chest obediently:

"Oh!" Believe!

This voice resounded above the swimming pool.

Mu Mu noticed the smile on Wen Ming's mouth, and then realized that he was teasing the fish.

"..." It was so angry that it ruffled Wen Ming's hair.

Wen Ming lifted his wet hair up, his facial features were deep, and his momentum was domineering when his forehead was exposed.

Mu Mu stared at his face, stunned like a dried fish.

Perhaps it was the rippling of the water that softened Wen Ming's eyebrows and eyes. Mu Mu felt that he was the most gentle and handsome master in the universe.

Mu Mu's mood also swayed with the ripples on the water surface, gently pushing away the ripples, unable to calm down.

Wen Ming was about to be burned out by its gaze: "What's wrong?"

Mu Mu swallowed his dry throat and lowered his head, as if a little turtle was shrinking into its shell.

It grabbed the shell pendant, showing its claws, carefully polishing the surface of the shell, and rounding the edges that might pierce the skin.

"Squeak--"

With a move, the sharp claws that knocked down the insect tribe showed off their power a few centimeters away from Wen Ming.

Wen Ming showed no worry at all, and his heartbeat was calm.

It made Mu Mu's heartbeat so fast.

'As for love... even people who have never experienced it can instantly understand that it is love when they encounter that moment.'

Mu Mu thought that her master's mother was right.

The love between the male and female protagonists in the soap opera was fierce, and they faced all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, but Mu Mu's love came naturally.

In a quiet swimming pool, on Wen Ming's warm and wet chest, it knew that it had fallen in love.
