Chapter 82



Su Su heard knocks on the door, knock, knock, knock, knock.

This is the rhythm agreed upon with Yan Bai.

Su Su controlled the wheelchair to the door and opened it with the switch. Yan Bai was standing at the door. Behind him stood a handsome and elegant middle-aged man.

He was completely different from the old man with gray beard that Su Su had imagined. As far as Su Su knew, Yan Sanguang had been running Yan's Shipping for more than fifty years, so he should be about the same age as Qi Hanyi's grandfather.

Yan Bai also said that from the time he was picked up by Yan San until now, Yan San has almost always maintained his current appearance and has not aged at all.

Previously, Yan San explained that he used special genetic modification drugs. Although he looked young, his organs were actually continuing to age, and there were strong side effects that caused him to suffer from frequent pain.

So he has been staying at home these years. Not only has he stopped going on business on the ship, he has also let Yan Bai handle all the affairs.

"This is Yan San, my father." Yan Bai stepped back half a step to the side so that Yan San and Su Su could see each other face to face.

"Well, come in." Su Su looked Yan San up and down, not hiding his rejection and vigilance towards Yan San.

The wheelchair was controlled to move back, just to the passage, clearing the way for the door.

Yan San's eyes swept across the entrance of the passage, revealing a bit of clarity.

Yan Bai seemed unaware of the two people's little actions and led Yan San into the room.

"Let's get straight to the point," Su Su said impatiently before the two men entered the house, like a straightforward young man who couldn't wait any longer: "I know you want to take control of the Bai Ze to fight for the rights of the mermaids. Only I can do this, but I also have conditions."

"You say." Yan San smiled faintly, as if he was facing a willful kid rather than an enemy with whom he had once been in conflict.

"Three things," Su Su leaned back on the wheelchair and raised his chin slightly, as if to show a certainty of victory, but it just seemed a little lacking in confidence. "First, controlling the Bai Ze is just a means of threat. Our goal is for humans to make concessions and give mermaids and humans an equal life. I will not consider launching an attack on the mainland unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Second, I don't trust you. I want you to hand over the management of Undercurrent and Yan's Shipping to Yan Bai."

"Third, for what happened to Qi Hanyi's parents, I want you to pay them back with your life."

"I don't think I'm guilty." Yan San sat on the chair that Yan Bai brought for him, crossed his legs, leaned back in a relaxed manner, and looked straight at Su Su: "It seems that there is still a big difference in our cognition."

"I admire Qi Hanyi's mother, Miss An Xun, very much. She is a great mermaid who sacrificed herself for the future of all mermaids."

Yan San stared at Su Su, his eyes flashing with a deep light. His tone was gentle and slow, with a flavor that made people unconsciously want to be convinced: "As for Qi Wu, he may have some kindness towards mermaids, but this kindness is like humans pitying a cat or a dog. This is the arrogance of humans. They are always like this, thinking that they are superior to any other creature on the planet."

"If we want them to respect mermaids from the bottom of their hearts, or even to be in awe of mermaids, we must be able to create enough threats to them. We must have a stronger power than them."

"Qi Hanyi said that his father loved her motherį记40;and respected her very much." Su Su argued.

Yan San shook his head, his eyes filled with tolerance, as if he was looking at a stubborn child: "If Qi Wu really loved An Xun and trusted An Xun, he should have told her the authority of Bai Ze. As long as he told her, he would have survived. Didn't Qi Hanyi also give you the authority of Bai Ze? This shows that this is not something that is completely impossible, so Qi Wu's death was his own choice."

"But..." Su Su seemed to want to say something, but was at a loss for words.

"Don't be impatient, kid. If you insist on taking my life to pay for their crimes, that's fine. Every mermaid in Undercurrent is ready to sacrifice for their ideals at any time, and I am no exception." Yan San readily agreed to Su Su's conditions: "After I die, all the affairs of the Yan family will naturally be taken over by Yan Bai."

"Father, I don't agree." Yan Bai's tone was filled with the panic of losing something. This panic was not pretended, but he was really scared. He was afraid that the person he had lived with for more than ten years would suddenly shed his flesh and reveal a completely unfamiliar monster appearance.

Yan San smiled and said in a tone of final instructions: "Yan Bai, good boy, go wait outside the door. I want to talk to Mr. Su Su alone. Remember, no matter what happens, don't let your emotions get in the way. Everything should be based on undercurrents and our plan first."

"Father... I understand." Yan Bai walked towards the door, and when the door was about to close, he couldn't help but look back again, as if he had a premonition that perhaps after closing this door, the father who raised him, his only family, would never come back.

The door was closed from the outside.

Yan San approached Su Su.

"What are you doing!" Su Su gripped the wheel hub of the wheelchair with his fingers, looking a little nervous.

"You're going to kill me to make amends to Qi Hanyi's parents, aren't you going to do it yourself?" Yan San continued to approach, and soon there was only one person's distance between him and Su Su. His face melted downwards like a melting candle, and his facial features gradually disappeared. At the same time, a thick, gelatinous black liquid flowed out of his melting body and rushed towards Su Su's feet.

"Okay." Su Su's mouth corners raised dangerously, and his fingers pressed down suddenly on the wheel hub.

"Blah!" The sea water poured down towards Yan San. This was also one of the mechanisms that Yan Bai had arranged in Su Su's room in advance.

As if it had touched something extremely hot, the moment the seawater touched Yan San's melting body, it immediately turned into mist and evaporated upwards, while Yan San melted faster in the mist until it finally turned into a thick, slime-like liquid. Then the liquid surged towards Su Su again.

"You plotted against me! You... colluded with Yan Bai to plot against me!" Yan San seemed to understand something and twisted his body angrily. His translucent body suddenly stretched greatly, as if he wanted to wrap Su Su up completely.

Su Su's wheels moved backwards, and the floor beneath his feet immediately flipped over, pushing him into the passage. The passage was a circular, closed pipe with a diameter of less than one meter, like a narrow water slide.

As soon as Su Su fell into it, he fell downwards by inertia. He quickly adjusted his posture and swam towards the exit.

A few seconds later, Su went straight into the water.

Yan Bai had prepared the airship and had been waiting on the water nearby early in the morning. When he saw Su Su, he immediately asked someone to pull him up.

Before Su Jisu could say anything, Yan San appeared at the shore of the pier. All the moisture on his clothes had dried up, and his body had returned to human form.

He quickly ran towards the boat and shouted to his men, "Catch Su Su, don't let him get away."

Yan Bai looked at him in a daze, then looked down at Su Su uncertainly.

"He is a Zerg, I saw it with my own eyes." Su Su said as he climbed onto the deck. The intense exercise made him slightly breathless. "He looks different from what Qi Hanyi saw. When the sea water splashes on him, his appearance changes. No wonder he always avoided the water before."

Yan Bai raised his hand hesitantly, holding a particle gun and pointing it at Yan San.

"Yan Bai, do you suspect I'm a bug?" Yan San showed a somewhat surprised expression, with some hurt in his eyes: "We have known each other for many years. When I rescued you, you were not even as tall as my knees and could hardly walk."

"I..." Yan Bai immediately became hesitant when he looked into those eyes.

"He doesn't have Qi Hanyi's authority, right? You two are conspiring to deceive me? Why? Because Su Su told you I'm a Zerg?" Yan San quickly deduced the cause and effect, his tone revealing distrust and anger: "You believed him? I'm a Zerg? How could I be a Zerg? I've lived on this planet for so many years and have never been to heaven. How could I have become a Zerg?"

"Xiaobai, you are the child who grew up under my care. You should know me best. How could you be fooled by others and believe such a ridiculous thing? Be obedient and put the gun down. If there is any misunderstanding, we can have a good talk." Yan San said as he walked towards the edge of the pier.

"This Su Su must have colluded with Qi Hanyi a long time ago. He is not here to help us at all. He is here to deal with the undercurrent and avenge Qi Hanyi's parents. He is too good at acting. Don't be fooled by him."

Yan Bai's eyes flickered. He wanted to believe both his father who raised him and his cousin whom he had finally found, even though they were not related by blood. But now he had to make a choice.

He knew that if he questioned his foster father about the Zerg, he would have a very convincing argument, but once the seed of doubt sprouted, it would not be so easy to remove it.

"If you jump into the sea and don't turn into a bug, I will believe you." Yan Bai thought for a while and said, since Su Su said that Yan San would be deformed when he touched sea water, why not use this method to determine the final result.

"If this is the only way you can believe me, then why not I jump once?" Yan San said as he walked towards the beach.

Their actions also alarmed many members of the Undercurrent who lived nearby. Seeing the chaotic situation, they were confused for a moment. But when they saw Yan San was about to jump into the sea, some old members immediately became restless.

"Boss, what are you doing? You look like a 30-year-old, but you have the physique of an 80-year-old. You normally wouldn't dare touch cold water, let alone such cold sea water in the middle of the night."

"Yes, if there was any misunderstanding between you and the young master, why didn't you talk it out slowly instead of jumping into the sea?"

"Master Bai, what's going on? What's the matter with insects? The boss is so old, how can you let him jump into the sea? You should try to persuade him!"

Yan Bai's hand holding the particle gun was shaking a little, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Please prove it to me first. As long as I am sure you are not a Zerg, I am willing to bear any punishment. Medical team! Prepare the rescue equipment on the shore immediately. Rescue team, wait for my order to go into the sea to save people."

Seeing that Yan Bai was determined not to believe him, Yan Sanjing jumped into the sea.

I remember that only a few seconds had passed, but the person did not float up at all.

Yan Bai panicked a little. He moved the boat closer, put his particle gun aside, and looked down at the place where Yan San fell into the water: "Father, father!"

At this moment, a transparent, tentacle-like object suddenly stretched out from the sea.

"Be careful!" Su Su picked up the particle gun, and when he saw that something was wrong, he immediately pulled Yan Bai away and quickly pulled the trigger into the water. The particle beam was like a sword at dawn, and the dazzling white color made people blind.

A huge vortex exploded on the water surface, revealing the monster's true face.

A translucent, soft monster that can transform.

The monster climbed onto the deck and its body began to swell rapidly, becoming more than ten times larger than when it was in the room.

He didn't seem to be particularly afraid of the power of the particle gun, and the parts that were hit healed quickly.

"I didn't expect that after lurking here and making careful plans for more than 20 years, I still failed to successfully destroy this planet." The voice belonging to Yan San came from the "monster"'s body.

"You really are..." Yan Bai was too shocked to speak, and the other people in the undercurrent also fell silent.

"I am your beloved father, Yan Bai." Yan San laughed strangely and transformed into a human again: "What a pity! I originally wanted to train you to lure Qi Hanyi, take control of the Bai Ze and then devour you, but I didn't expect Su Su to show up halfway."

Su Su pursed his lips and said nothing, continuing to attack the monster with the particle gun, and paying close attention to the changes in the monster's body.

He gradually noticed that Yan San's self-healing ability was so strong that the particle gun could not cause any fatal damage to him. Every time he was injured, a stream of energy would gather from the distant starry sky and rush into Yan San's body to help him recover, and this process was even faster than Su Su's attack speed.

As time goes by, more and more energy gathers, gradually reaching a breathtaking level.

"But it doesn't matter if we can't take control of the Bai Ze. It's not important anymore, Su Su. I also want to thank you for letting Qi Hanyi fall in love with the mermaid and giving up his only chance to heal his mental breakdown. I have already passed this message to the queen. Qi Hanyi can't even use his mental power now. How can he fight against my Zerg? If I kill you again, the Bai Ze will not be able to exert its true strength in the future! I will not lose out if I use my life in exchange for the life of the most talented starship pilot in mankind in decades. This planet will sooner or later become the new nest of the Zerg." Yan San seemed to have stalled for enough time.

Su Su felt that the energy that was pouring into Yan San's body was rapidly expanding. He was going to self-destruct and die with everyone on the ship. Or maybe not only that, the terrifying energy from the starry sky might destroy the entire base. By then, no one would even know what happened tonight.

The closer the situation became to life and death, the calmer Su Su's mind became. His high concentration made his perception unprecedentedly clear.

seawater.

Su Su noticed that the sea water was the quietest, as the water surface blocked the energy from the starry sky.

Perhaps the Zerg are not afraid of water, but are afraid that their abilities will be silenced in the water.

They were in the water and could not receive and use the energy from the starry sky, so when they encountered water, they would uncontrollably reveal their original form. Then Su Su remembered that the particle gun shot that the opponent had just received in the water did not seem to heal immediately, but the wound began to heal only after he got ashore.

When the explosion was about to be triggered, Su Su suddenly rushed forward, grabbed Yan San and dragged him into the sea. Then he used a particle gun at close range to attack Yan San.

Yan San's strength was indeed greatly suppressed in the water. He could neither heal himself, nor self-destruct, nor even devour. He could only endure the injuries and simply launch physical counterattacks.

He pulled desperately, trying to pull Su Su back to the shore and swallow him.

Although Su Su was quite strong, the monster was obviously more powerful. As the two wrestled, his body kept floating up and was almost leaving the water.

The particle gun's energy was exhausted, and Su Su's physical strength was gradually exhausted.

Is this the end? Su Su was unwilling to accept it. He had already turned into a mermaid, and he hadn't sung for Qi Hanyi yet.

At this moment, a melodious singing voice suddenly came into Su Su's ears.

The sound was like the tide that kept surging under the moonlight, like the soft light rippling in the water waves in the morning glow, like the dancing, blue sea full of vitality, like the mysterious deep sea that lurks and is always quiet, like the schools of whales in it swimming towards this side in groups, with calls like flutes...

Hmm, this doesn't seem to be the effect of the singing, there really is a killer whale rushing over.

When Su Su discovered this, the killer whales had already surrounded the monster and him. They were arranged in an organized formation, with those on the outside stopping in place to block the escape route, while those inside rushed forward and tore the monster to pieces in an instant.

The picky killer whale did not eat the strange jelly-like object. The insect monster's body was torn into pieces and gradually turned into a wax-like substance that fell downwards, decomposed, and disappeared.

Su Su was stunned by the sudden change, but soon he realized that a group of killer whales might be more difficult to deal with than a single insect that sank into the sea. Su Su was on guard against the attack of the killer whales, but the killer whales did not intend to attack him. Instead, one of the killer whales nudged him with its head warmly and pushed him towards the group.

Su Su looked over and saw a little mermaid sitting on a killer whale.

"Yi Qing?" Su Su didn't expect to run into each other here after not seeing each other for more than half a year.

The little mermaid greeted Su Su cheerfully: "The high priest asked me to come here to pick you up. I hope you are well."
