Chapter 192 Wrong Direction
The further you go in, the more buildings you see, some even have exquisite reliefs. It seems that they really treat the ocean as their home and are working hard to build it.
Looking back, this place was not a depression at first, but a city wall was built there. As time went by, the terrain outside changed so much that it finally became like this.
Kalina had only been to the dark zone once and a half while awake, so her understanding of the place was limited. Moreover, the situation was different when entering from different places. For example, the trench here did not exist when starting from the main city of the mermaids.
Feng Chan swam while looking for the place with light that Kalina mentioned. Although she came here to find the Polar Region, the information about the Polar Region was so scarce that it would be difficult to find it by luck alone, so she planned to go to the last "human" first to see if she could find out any information.
Before this, she first used the direction of the camel, but unfortunately it couldn't be used. She didn't know whether it was because the extreme domain was beyond its ability or what.
After a long time, Feng Chan finally found the light in the darkness and used the invisibility card after getting close enough.
This bright area is not big, it can be said to be quite small, smaller than a small county town in the 18th tier. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a larger town. It is hard to imagine that such a small place controls so many things in the ocean.
There were deformed soldiers on duty at the outermost edge of this area, but there was almost no defense inside. On the relatively spacious streets, there were a few deformed creatures that were neither human nor fish, walking on the street with things in their hands.
Feng Chan chose a deformed creature that looked more like a human and tracked it, and first used Ursi's glasses on it.
It can be seen that there is nothing extra on it except a work badge in its pocket and a box of medicine in its hand.
The words written on the work badge are still in Chinese: Researcher Lin Xiang.
If the investigation was successful, it would prove that even if Lin Xiang was the strongest, she would not be much stronger than him, so the probability of her using the other card successfully would be even greater.
Lin Xiang walked on the familiar street. She felt a little nervous today and didn't know why.
Suddenly her consciousness became chaotic, and her hands and feet changed direction uncontrollably as she walked into a dark alley.
After making sure everything was normal, Feng Chan went straight in with his sword: "Where is the Jiyu?"
Lin Xiang's eyes were dull: "I don't know, only the highest level in the Jiyu Territory knows."
Feng Chan frowned. She knew that the news would not come so easily. This puppet card was only a blue product, and it could not control a higher level. There was only one hour left, so she had to get more words out of her.
"What is that in your hand?"
Lin Xiang: "Genetic drugs can help marine organisms absorb raw water better and increase their reproductive capacity. However, the side effects are significant. When first taken, they will enter a rampage state and become unconscious. The organisms will also have higher desires and lower IQs. There is also a higher probability of giving birth to deformed children."
Feng Chan: "This medicine..."
She asked a lot of questions, and the controlled Lin Xiang answered them one by one. The most researched thing here is genetic drugs, which are divided into different versions and various laboratories. The laboratory where Lin Xiang is located is dedicated to integrating drugs from various laboratories to maximize the effect.
The potion she has now is the effect of the integration, and she is about to take it to the experimental area for testing. If the effect is more beneficial than harmful to them, they will find a way to release it into the ocean.
There are many creatures kept in captivity in the experimental area, including mermaids, whales, miscellaneous fish, and even captured humans.
Lin Xiang became visibly emotional when she spoke of humans. "The instructor said we were supposed to look like that, and he also said the genes of these newly captured humans are closer to the original human genome. But I think these new humans are too stupid, not even as good as the ones we captured from the mainland. It's a pity that they all have insects protecting them, making them difficult to catch, and their genes aren't very good either."
According to Lin Xiang's description, quite a few players must have been caught. No wonder Kalina said before not to go into the sea in the near future.
Recently, the focus of their research has become how to transform back into humans, so there is a great demand for humans, and batches of them have died.
However, in order to retake the land, the first thing is to have strong strength. Although the marine creatures failed in the attack on humans, they took the opportunity to stockpile a large amount of raw water. In addition to wanting to train Kalina to become a gold, they also selected a new mermaid to train.
Feng Chan: "Who?"
Lin Xiang: "Tianqing from the Mermaid City is still young, but we have a potion that can shorten her growth time."
Tianqing? Isn't this the name of Luyou's younger sister? Is it a homonym?
There was still time, so Feng Chan asked directly.
Lin Xiang: "She does have a brother, but I don't know his name. He seems to be a green-tailed mermaid. She was frightened and sent to the Xioli family's clinic for treatment. They found that her ability to absorb raw water is 1.5 times that of others."
Feng Chan: "Have you caught him yet?"
Lin Xiang: "No, Kalena already knows the situation. Tianqing plans to train her secretly. Only by letting her integrate into the ocean and witness the harm caused by humans, can she become a better weapon for us after she grows up."
Feng Chan: "What if the training fails?"
Lin Xiang: "Kill it and take the raw water, then cultivate a new one. Mermaids only have one life, but there will always be mermaids, and there will always be someone more suitable."
I want to ask Lin Xiang, don't you think it's cruel? But Feng Chan said nothing even though the words were on her lips. People who grew up in this kind of education environment would not think it was a problem. It was as normal as eating meat and drinking alcohol.
We have been delayed here for too long, Feng Chan has taken away all the potions. This time, Lin Xiang not only needs to hand over the potions but also needs to bring back information to avoid arousing suspicion. The puppet card is only valid for 1 hour, so we must hurry.
Soon Lin Xiang came out with a notebook made of special shark silk and something similar to a USB flash drive in her hands, which contained the data from the last experiment that needed to be saved.
When the contact person asked about the medicine, Feng Chan asked Lin Xiang to make an excuse that it would be delivered soon and just brushed it off.
Feng Chan didn't look through the information, but let her flip through a few pages at random. The data showed that the number of creatures that died in a month was more than twice the number of people in the dark zone. No wonder they wanted to increase their reproductive capacity.
There are two people in power in the Dark Zone, a man and a woman, both of whom are over 400 years old and are nearing the end of their lifespan.
They have many trained children who are also the main leaders of research. Lin Xiang’s mentor is one of them. The future successor will be selected from these people.
Feng Chan asked Lin Xiang to report to the tutor as usual and asked the tutor to come out afterwards.
Time passed quickly, and with only 10 minutes left, the instructor was still carefully examining the data and comparing it with previous results. Feng Chan had no choice but to force Lin Xiang to make an appointment with him using a somewhat awkward reason.
Feng Chan tried her best to keep the distance as far as possible, but not so far that she couldn't hear them. These people could improve the strength of other mermaids at will, and as long as their bodies were suitable, they would definitely improve themselves.
But no one expected that Lin Xiang’s mentor was actually a ball of flesh covered with human hands, two meters tall. Each hand seemed to have its own consciousness, moving around randomly in the water.
