MTL - Mermaid Effect-Chapter 13

88° north latitude and 156° west longitude

Arctic Ocean

An elongate floating island measuring 7.2 x 3.2 km floats above the structural joint zone of the Lomonosov Ridge and the Makarov Basin. Americans once found a place in Iceland that is ideal for ice floes, but regrets The island finally floated to the south, leaving them to give up this coveted area. Seventy years later, there was a resurgence of floating islands here, which seemed to fill the regrets of those geophysicists - but it was not a product of natural formation, but a bastion of technology.

This huge floating island is made up of metal, plastic and polymer materials. It has a certain ability to sail. The silver-white surface has a striking red mark: the "siren-ii" logo.

In other countries' maps of its logo, “siren-ii” is just an ordinary solid geophysical and meteorological observatory. However, on the map of the US military strategic deployment, its logo was reddened by the special color code representing the five-level top secret military facilities.

Just half a month ago, an announcement was made here that most of the facilities on the floating island had equipment failures due to low temperatures, and 97% of the staff were evacuated. In just 15 days, a scientific research ship entered the observation station as quiet as a grave at an unusual speed.

Except for being too quiet, it doesn't seem to have any problems with the device.

The iron gate of the seaport fell, and the scientific research ship stopped at the internal docking point of the floating island.

Simon Moi put his hands in his trouser pockets and jumped lightly from the boat to the shore like a forest cat. He looked up at the icy metal structure on the ceiling, just an internal dock, with a height of ninety feet, steel bars and walls without any decorations, and bare but neat distribution facilities with a strong Breath of military facilities.

In such an environment, he seems to be somewhat out of place. He is frivolous and sloppy. Under the white robe is a colorful embroidered jacket and orange Martin boots. It seems that the earphones are always inserted in the ear as if the thing is growing on his cartilage.

For a 19-year-old boy, this is nothing, but unfortunately he has another identity.

Several people in white robes greeted them, and they saw a clear glimpse when they saw Simon, but soon their faces showed a smile.

One of the heads extended his hand to Simon: "Dr. Simon, we are looking forward to your arrival."

Simon raised an eyebrow and whistled in his mouth, his eyes directly over him.

He turned his head to look at the man who was quietly behind him. The man was silent, quiet, and had a very weak sense of existence (considering his height of six feet, which is unusual), he wore a body without any labels and features. Black suit, faceless.

"So, dear..." Simon frowned slightly, then took a notebook out of his pocket and looked at it before he continued. "... Mr. Ryan Harrison, you want to take a break first. Chat with a bunch of followers, accept the flattering, or want to go to the scene first?"

......

The scene suddenly fell into a terrible silence.

As a "follow-up" in Simon's mouth, some people's faces became very sinister, but before the man sweared, the companion pulled his sleeves hard. In the end, the "follow-up" were all silent, but their eyes on Simon were still so sharp.

The atmosphere is bad. Ryan looked at Simon and ignored him. Instead, he stepped forward and showed his work credentials to the white robes who stood by.

"The CIA Special Accident Investigator Ryan Harrison, I need to go directly to the number 2987 accident scene."

"The Central Intelligence Agency? Why are you, the Arctic Command..."

As soon as this sentence fell, except for Simon, the faces of everyone present were very ugly in a flash.

In theory, "siren-ii" is under the jurisdiction of the Air Force. They are all ready to do everything, but they never thought that the real person was cia.

In the face of the stalwart researchers, Ryan’s eyes became even colder, and Simon came to him with a catwalk and smiled at him in front of him: “I told you, you will need me.”

--------------

For many people, the "siren-ii" is terrible, but what many people don't know is that the special laboratory under the surface of the sea is the real behemoth compared to the part that is exposed above the sea. The entire research department is divided into 12 areas, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time for high-level test tasks. However, when Simon and Ryan put on protective clothing into the test area, a strong breath made the two men stand behind each other.

The threats that are irrelevant to reality are simply the fear of human instinct and the sense of crisis.

No. 2987 accident is just a string of code on the paper material and a stack of a4 papers that attempt to illustrate the incident, but when you really walk in here, the atmosphere of the top predators of the bio-chain seems to still be able to cross the time. Came to you.

The experimental body number 7371 escaped from the No. 3 test area, which is the closest to the drain, but it is also the most closely guarded area. It easily harvested the lives of two hundred and forty people throughout the escape... In fact, only one of the people present at the time did not die.

He was a full-time breeder of the 7371 experiment. He hid in the freezer where the experimental preparations were stored. When people finally found him, his entire back skin was frozen on the back wall of the freezer.

In the end, he lost his legs and his left hand, because they were already necrotic because of freezing - but he was lucky enough to compare with those who died in the pilot area.

After all, the last person responsible for cleaning up the scene... Almost everyone, and finally had to go to psychotherapy - the whole scene has been so bad that it can not be described in words. (According to the follow-up investigation after the event, in the end, how many three people chose to commit suicide after this cleanup)

There were some comments that were reviewed and deleted in the incident report afterwards, but Simon felt that it was the truth: the 7371 experiment was chosen to escape the test area with the most people, so that it could kill the most.

"...the data shows that it does not reach that level of thinking ability."

The lift slowly landed in Area 3, and Ryan finally spoke to him after hearing Simon's comments.

"Oh," Simon licked his lips and gave a scornful laugh. "They are far smarter than you think. Mr. Cia, human arrogance is often accompanied by stupidity, and stupidity leads to death."

He said as he carefully operated the lifting platform so that it just stayed above the water.

The entire No. 3 area has been submerged by the icy waters, which are up to half a meter.

The sharp claws of the experiment body were as easily torn into the debris of the water exchange system in the 13th area, and the staff finally had no way to repair them, so the sea stayed here.

The water surface is an unpleasant sauce, which is the blood left by humans after the accident. At first it was bright red (it was a scene that was only in hell). People added some chemicals to the water to avoid the residual venom of the experimental body and the blood to continue to react, and then they can take out those bodies, or pieces of the body. Come.

There was a disgusting smell in the air, chemicals and a slight smell. Simon made an exaggerated vomiting behavior, but did not get Ryan's eyes. The latter's eyes quickly crossed those broken and inclined instruments. It fell on the central cylindrical sink.

The top of the sink is connected to the ceiling, about six meters in diameter, and a huge hole is below its side.

"That is where the experiment 7371 stays in the test area?"

Ryan pressed the recorder in the left pocket and asked.

"Yeah," Simon nodded. "When the 'Serma' is delivered here, we will put it here, and then fill it with inhibitors. In theory, it will be stunned by the action of inhibitors. Sleeping, but what we didn't think of was that it had already adapted to the anesthetic effect of the inhibitors, and all the reactions that were made were just cheating."

Simon sat on the railing of the lift in a dangerous way, explaining to Ryan.

Ryan quickly noticed his special word.

"Ser? Are you generally called the experimental body?"

"Oh, yes, you don't call them that."

Simon shrugged indifferently... After a few seconds, he suddenly paused and turned his head to look at Ryan's face carefully.

A moment later, his face showed a subtle smile: "Oh, no, this is a bit funny, have you not seen it right?"

He says.

Ryan calmly looked back at Simon: "You should answer my question, Dr. Simon."

Simon’s smile is expanding: “Do you know, in Caroline’s old lady, I promised that when you sent someone this time would not cause any trouble, I didn’t believe her at all, but I really didn’t think she really Do it, you really don't know anything, a layman?"

“I took over a lot of investigations and it doesn’t make sense to pursue my qualifications.”

"No, no, you don't understand..." Simon looked at Ryan, like watching a kitten in the water, his eyes full of pity, "'Serma' is different, different from your past Anything that has been touched, bin Laden? Anthrax? No, it is different. If it is to be said, it is a kind of creation that represents the earth's terror-terror-main-righteousness..."

"..."

Ryan looked at Simon silently.

"Well, I know you don't understand, oh God, layman..." Simon groaned and pulled out his pocket from his pocket. "I mean, it's something beyond humans, it's It’s like it’s a weapon created by the Earth itself to destroy humanity.”

He opened a surveillance record and showed it to Ryan.

The time is shown a year ago, and the location is in another huge sink.

There, a humanoid is swimming, it is about three meters in length, the upper body is human form, long hair, the ear is a fan-shaped ear fin, the lower body is a long and graceful fish body, covered with light blue The scales, the caudal fins are huge and the colors are gorgeous. To be honest, its fish body is closer to the scorpion because of the length problem. When it turns, you can clearly see the bulging of the muscles that are underdeveloped under the scales.

Elegant, beautiful and powerful.

This is the first impression that “Serb” gave Ryan.

"This is a modified species, blue scales, and the same as the experimental body 7371." Simon explained on the side, a few seconds later, he looked at the unanswered Len sighed.

It is clear that Ryan does not even know what these terms mean. 2k novel reading network
