Chapter 121: His eyelashes drooped, thin and cold white...
Wild and powerful.
It was clear that the two of them had said things a hundred times more outrageous in private, but in a semi-public setting, Bai Ling's face inexplicably became hot and his eyes unconsciously drifted towards his body.
Broad shoulders and narrow waist, the muscular strength of a top alpha cannot be concealed by even a loose shirt.
Moreover, among all the races present, there is indeed no one who can adapt to polluted water sources better than Yu Chen.
Logically, Commander Bai should be praised for his ability to judge the situation and make good use of people. As for the feelings... Bai Ling's face was as cold as ice. He took off the powerful shotgun from his waist, lowered his head and pulled the lever to reload, saying:
"I'll go with you."
"You force it out of the water, and I'll shoot it in the head."
Yu Chen looked at his drooping eyelashes, which were thin and cold white, but somehow conveyed a sense of straight and strong power.
He will share your troubles.
Yu Chen looked away calmly. In his life, he had met countless people who shouted that they were willing to work for him, but this was the only one who could move him.

Before you take action, you need to plan carefully.
The first task was to confirm the situation of the power station under the lake.
They came well prepared this time, with detectors, locators, and portable data analysis workstations. The detection dart is released and flies back and forth ten times. The analysis screen then refines the three-dimensional topographic map of the lake in circles.
You don’t know until you see it. After seeing it, the heads gathered in front of the screen gasped:
“So deep!”
The estimated data given on the screen is 300 meters in depth and 100 meters in width. A water storage capacity of this scale can be called a small reservoir, with plenty of underwater space. Correspondingly, sinking means death, and there is a possibility that the body cannot be salvaged.
Bai Ling's heart tightened and sweat began to form on his palms silently.
The AI that was tasked with analyzing the data said through the workstation's speaker: "Let me see the scan results. Hmm, garbage, bones, and more bones... Found it! The power station is 200 meters underwater."
"If my analysis is correct, this lake was originally an electric well. You can take an elevator down to the power station, so the entrance is so large."
"Look at the ground nearby. There are broken steel glass next to it. It should be the cover of the power station. But now this place is filled with water and has completely turned into a lake. I don't know if it has been eroded by groundwater or something."
Bai Ling asked: "Can the power station still be used?"
The AI replied: “We can ask it this question ourselves.”
How do you ask this? Before Bai Ling could express his surprise, the AI started to connect the signal and tried to call the underground power station.
This operation seemed a bit unbelievable. After being abandoned for hundreds of years and then soaked for two centuries, even the strongest iron wall would be soaked and rotten. How could there be any signal?
The AI was pleasantly surprised: "It's still alive. Although the signal is weak, it even sent me a message."
Bai Ling was stunned: "What did it say?"
“——‘I’m being held hostage by that extremely ugly fish, come and save me! It’s so ugly I’m going to vomit’. That’s what he said.”
...It seems that this power station is also obsessed with appearance?
Bai Ling had a flash of thought and turned around to see Yu Chen coming out wearing a diving suit. It was a tight-fitting style with a strong wrapping effect. The street-level goods with different sizes were no match for the well-tailored haute couture casual clothes. However, the old man could wear it in a vigorous and relaxed manner, revealing his body shape to the fullest.
The jealous gaze of the young alpha behind him was about to burn through the fabric.
hateful! How can the shape of the eight-pack abdominal muscles be clearly seen through the diving suit? It’s fake, definitely fake, they must be stuffed with socks!
Bai Ling sighed inwardly, it turned out that some people could stir up a bloody storm wherever they went with just a gesture.
The water was dangerously deep, so Yu Chen came over to tie the diving safety rope. The safety steps were complicated, so Bai Ling had no choice but to take on the job, standing or squatting to help him adjust the buckle.
As a person in a higher position who was used to being served, he would raise his hand from time to time to cooperate, calmly and as if it was a matter of course.
But in the eyes of the alphas watching, it was seen as "ungrateful".
"You enjoy Commander Bai's service with a clear conscience, but you don't even say thank you. That's rude."
"What's the point of being tall? I've never seen him drive a mecha in the training ground. He must be just a show-off. If he gets dragged into the water, we'll have to rescue him."
Whispering to each other in private, the group cautiously came to the lake.
It was inconvenient to shoot in the water, so Yu Chen chose a boning machete and hung it behind his waist. When the handle was attached, the metal ring on his waist made a slight crisp sound. One end of the safety rope was on the metal ring, and the other end extended to the shore and was tied to a tree trunk.
He acted quickly, took two steps toward the center of the lake, and dived into the water with a small arc. The noise was not loud, but it startled something at the bottom of the lake.
In an instant, something huge rose up with a roar, and its dorsal fin like a chainsaw cut a clear line on the water surface. Then it swung its tail and leaped out of the lake dripping with mud and water.
Bai Ling immediately raised his gun and aimed at a strange fish that was 10 meters long at the cross point of the peephole.
The fish skin is rough and irregularly brown and yellow, and its head is surprisingly large, accounting for one-third of the body's volume. What's even more bizarre is the two incongruous human legs on the tail. They are only as big as a baby's in proportion, curled up and shrunk, and twist a few times from time to time as the tail wags. People cover their eyes and can't help but shout "How disgusting!"
As the waves surged, some skeletons that were obviously left over from eating were washed ashore, piling up layer by layer in the muddy water.
The strange fish had very good teeth. Bai Ling shot at its teeth, but the bullet bounced back and the fish was unharmed.
Bai Ling immediately regretted it.
This thing is invulnerable to swords and guns. How can he let the pampered mermaid deal with it?
Bai Ling frowned, stood up and wanted to call Yu Chen back, but he saw a flash of gold in the waves and a fierce fight breaking out. The light at two o'clock in the afternoon shone directly down, and the shining tip of the knife stabbed down heavily, piercing into the eye socket of the strange fish, and turned its wrist coldly.
For the first time in their lives, they heard the screams of fish.
“Hehehehehehehe——!!!”
Before, they suggested bombing, and this was a real bombing.
Everyone stood on the shore, staring nervously at the center of the lake. Large patches of blood appeared on the water surface. The once calm water surface was now surging in all directions like a hot spring. They could not see the situation underwater, but they could easily imagine from the surging ripples that there were huge things underwater that were colliding and fighting because of pain.
The strange fish was also smart. It knew it couldn't move freely on the surface of the water, so it bit Yu Chen with all its might and rushed into the deep water. As a result, the movement on the water slowed down and gradually returned to tranquility.
But everyone's eyes were on the safety rope.
As the fight intensified, the safety rope was stretched straight again and again, causing the tied tree trunk to bend and leaves to fall. It shows how terrifying the pulling in deep water is.
Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and when they put themselves in the situation, they all felt a chill.
Suddenly, there was a clear explosion. Snap, the tree broke.
The rope also broke.
The string in everyone's mind broke: it's over, the alpha's body can't be retrieved.
With the inertia of the force in that second, the rope flew over Bai Ling's head, and the tree as thick as a bowl was instantly thrown to the center of the lake.
His body moved faster than his thoughts. Bai Ling pounced over and grabbed the rope in almost 0.01 seconds, and was dragged on the ground for dozens of meters due to the instantaneous speed. But he reacted quickly, and his military reflexes enabled him to immediately smash the muzzle of the gun into the mud, which stuck to the rocks underground and stopped the dragging trend.
The rope went from being slack to being taut in an instant.
Bai Ling climbed up the next second, stepped on the exposed stone, and pulled the rope with gritted teeth. My shoes sank deeply into the mud, and my toes turned blue and purple from the exertion. He stuck the metal gun barrel into the ground to act as a lever, grabbed the safety line and tied it around his waist, using himself as an anchor.
I won’t let go, even if I die.
Yu Shen is at the other end of the rope. If he can't pull it, then he will die in the mud together.
He leaned on the gun, like a sword-holding statue of the god of war Ares, his resolute face was covered in cold sweat, and every muscle line in his body was extremely tense. The rope was tied very tightly, causing severe congestion in his upper arm, and blood circulation in his lower forearm and fingers was blocked, making his body so pale that one could almost see the blue veins.
It's like a tug of war.
It is also a contest of power.
The alphas watching were all stunned. If it were them, they would have let go long ago. They simply couldn't understand what kind of willpower allowed Bai Ling to hold on.
The leader reacted the fastest and rushed forward first: "I'll help you pull it!"
The alphas in the team realized it later and rushed forward to grab the nylon rope to help Commander Bai share the resistance.
More blood gradually surged up to the surface of the water. They couldn't tell whose blood it was. They only knew that the blond alpha had not surfaced for 10 minutes.
The Alphas took a quick glance and found that Commander Bai had a cold expression and his breathing was very light, as if he was holding his breath and waiting for a result.
They secretly shook their heads to express their regret.
There are so many bones on the shore and so much blood in the water. The alpha must have been eaten by a strange fish... Even if they pull it up hard, only half of the body will be left. It's a tragic scene. Should they persuade Commander Bai to stay away?
At this moment, mud splashed up 20 meters high from the center of the lake and scattered in all directions. A dirty mud rain lasted for three minutes.
Then, there seemed to be some inexplicable and violent vibration under their feet.
The Alphas staggered from side to side, barely able to stand.
In the chaos, the lake water raised a high wall like a tsunami, and an extremely strong figure emerged from the center of the lake. In their trembling pupils, the other party walked onto the shore step by step.
Behind the mermaid, the steel-walled power station rose up, mud and black water gushing out of the iron bars. Against the sunlight, the huge shadow cast by the building spread, grew, and surged wildly behind him. The shadow seemed to have life. Wherever he took a step, the shadow of the power station would follow and cover him.
The lakes were filled with steam, the power station lit up with high-power red lights, and the wattage of the lamps exceeded the standard.
Under the Tyndall effect, the evaporation of water vapor is given shape, particles in the air are flying, backlit, and the mermaid's hair is glowing.
The mermaid's right foot stepped onto the shore.
The next second, all the surrounding buildings, street lights, and signboards were instantly lit up, as if it was the glorious scene of an amusement park turning on the power switch for opening late at night. This city that had been dead for a long time came back to life.
The animals hidden deep in the forest were stirring quietly.
Yu Chen threw the long scimitar in his hand and it stuck deeply into the hard mud by the river.
Bai Ling's throat felt hot and he subconsciously held his breath.
Yu Chen shook his long hair and put his fingers through his hair to lift it back. He has a dignified and elegant appearance, but at this moment he exudes a strong sense of wildness and animal desire.
Then, in front of everyone’s shocked gaze, he dragged something out of the water, and when they looked closely, it turned out to be the strange fish!
This sturdy male actually dragged a monster fish that was five times bigger than him with one hand. Even though the waves as big as mountains were surging behind him, he walked to the shore, flipped his hand, tensed his upper arm muscles with blood, swung it from behind, and smashed the monster fish weighing tons onto the shore. In an instant, the ground sank and the entire lakeshore began to shake.
Bai Ling:... Damn it!
What kind of flesh nuclear bomb!
Yu Chen's expression was still indifferent and lazy. After the fierce fight, the adrenaline still left traces on his body.
As a top alpha, the concentration of his offensive pheromones was off the charts, approaching the maximum threshold that humans can withstand. Just one look at that majesty was enough to make all the male creatures present look up, fear and submit.
The group of young alphas nearby dared not say a word. Those with poor self-control had their legs trembling and they wished they could kneel down on the spot.
Yu Chen's mind was not on them at all.
He looked at Bai Ling, his eyes lingering on that waist. The safety rope was tied to the bird, and there were marks on its waist, but the bird was unaware of it. Summer clothes are thin, and red marks of dampness can be vaguely seen under the fabric, like a small tree that has forgotten to take root and looks like it has just been ravaged by wind and rain.
Voluntary bondage.
Extra...exciting.
Yu Chen opened his eyes, grabbed the rope that Bai Ling refused to let go of, closed his palm and pulled it heavily towards himself.
Bai Ling staggered and was dragged to his side. Before he could raise his head, his jaw was clamped and his face was pinched condescendingly.
For some reason, the alphas watching swallowed their saliva at the same time.
When I pulled it just now, it felt like the owner came over to take it back and grabbed the rope that tied the dog. It was an indescribable sense of control.
Especially the one who was forcibly tied up was the strong and cold beauty Commander Bai.
Even more exciting!
Commander Bai himself could hardly breathe.
He could only feel the blood surging under his skin, and the image of the knife inserted into the ground kept flashing back in his mind. He accidentally made eye contact with the mermaid and immediately looked away in panic, but he saw from close up that the man's black diving suit was torn a little, revealing the shark wing muscles on his side ribs.
Although it was wrapped tightly, the filthiness of the flesh seemed to be torn open and flowed out.
"According to the rules, you have to hand over the trophies to the female." He spoke in a low and magnetic voice as if it was a matter of course.
Bai Ling's fingers were pried apart, and Yu Chen placed the tip of the strange fish's tail in the palm of his hand. At that moment, the questions that had lingered in Bai Ling's mind since childhood were finally fully answered in himself.
Why in the painting "Mermaid of the Sea of Asfu", the female is so unbearable but still won't refuse?
Because a true top predator is at the forefront and cannot be shaken in every aspect. For a species to survive, it will inevitably arouse people's strong desire to reproduce.
Bai Ling was so devastated that he wanted to escape.
Help, he wants to lay eggs!
Behind him, the alpha with leaky teeth suddenly sniffed his nose, turned around and asked his companion: "Do you smell anything nice, a cool citrus note, like..."
"Is it coming from Commander Bai?!"
