Soon, after a brief pause, Xu Qingyuan got up and picked up the fallen food bag beside him. He walked slowly a few steps to stand in front of the mermaid.
The mermaid did not retreat into the water; it seemed unafraid and simply glanced at Xu Qingyuan before looking at the food bucket. It rested its arms on the edge of the glass tank and stared intently at Xu Qingyuan.
Xu Qingyuan picked up a large shovel and filled it with a spoonful, then brought it to the mermaid's side.
The mermaid paused for a moment, then reached out a hand to take it. In less than three seconds, she finished eating, turned her back, and looked back as if she didn't want Xu Qingyuan to see her eating.
Xu Qingyuan thinks this mermaid is really interesting, luckily it has some dignity.
Xu Qingyuan continued to shovel several more spades until the mermaid indicated that it was full, rubbed its belly, and Xu Qingyuan stopped feeding.
Based on previous mermaid data, this mermaid is obviously different from other wild species.
It seems to understand human language, help humans, and show kindness towards them. It has a gentle nature and does not exhibit any behavior of hunting and killing humans for blood. All of these indicate that this is a mermaid that has been raised by humans.
After making a preliminary judgment, Xu Qingyuan noticed a shallow, thin chain around the neck of the mermaid, but it was unclear what material it was made of.
It's really rare for something to stay on the mermaid's neck without being damaged.
You should know that this kind of creature is born to detest being bound and absolutely will not allow anything to fall on its lifeline.
Noticing Xu Qingyuan's gaze, the mermaid turned the delicate chain around her neck, and only then did Xu Qingyuan notice that there was a tag hanging on it.
This seems to be the most common type of alloy material, nothing special, but there seems to be some kind of font engraved on the iron sheet.
Looking at the friendly gestures of mermaid, as well as the faint smile expressed by its stiff facial muscles, Xu Qingyuan ultimately chose to believe in it, reaching out to grasp the sign.
Xu Qingyuan His fingers briefly fumbled on it before quickly letting go.
On this metal plate, the words amino acids were written prominently.
Xu Qingyuan sneered, "Your master gave you such a boring name, it's really ridiculous."
When the laughter became painful in the stomach, Xu Qingyuan bent over, leaning against the glass wall and slowly sinking down.
At this moment, "Amino Acids" rested his right hand on his head, the fish tail in the water swaying slightly as he looked at Xu Qingyuan, a smile in his eyes that seemed even more intense than Xu Qingyuan's.
After a moment, Xu Qingyuan finally straightened up.
"You're really talented to come up with a name like that."
Wiping away the tears of laughter from her eyes, Xu Qingyuan straightened up and smiled at the mermaid, then noticed there were more words on the back of the metal tag. She immediately reached out to take a look, and the mermaid obediently leaned in.
On the metal plaque, two large characters were written in a striking manner, "Ansheng."
Imprinted in a deep golden pattern, the simple two characters gave Xu Qingyuan a strange sense of familiarity and an inexplicable feeling of fear.
In the legend of the deep sea, "An" is their surname. In the world of mermaids, they are the kings, born as fierce beasts to conquer the sea.
"You are called Ansheng, that's a nice name," Xu Qingyuan said, holding a metal plate and looking at the mermaid with a gentle smile.
As if responding to Xu Qingyuan's words, the mermaid happily curled her tail, but Xu Qingyuan couldn't see it; only the ripples on the water's surface reflected the joy hidden deep below.
The mischief of the mermaid and its friendly demeanor ultimately led Xu Qingyuan to involuntarily exclaim, "You really are a good child."
However, this time the mermaid did not curl its tail; it simply gazed at him through the glass, with a hint of mockery flickering in its amber eyes.
Looking at the time, Xu Qingyuan felt it was getting late and she had to go home, but this damaged safety net.
Although this mermaid is very well-behaved, she cannot be ignored.
For safety's sake, Xu Qingyuan still informed the security department when leaving, asking them to send someone to fix it urgently at night.
When leaving, if Xu Qingyuan had turned around, he would have seen Ansheng swimming along the glass and following him to the door, but he didn't look back.
After getting on the Underwater light rail, Xu Qingyuan was home in less than ten minutes.
Looking at the food in the fridge, Xu Qingyuan was somewhat hesitant.
He is a life idiot.
In the past, Xu Qingyuan took out a food that had survived for thousands of years without being eliminated—instant noodles.
Once the hot water is on, just add the dried noodles and stir.
Xu Qingyuan thinks this is the greatest invention in human history - convenient, delicious, and high in calories.
After everything was tidied up, Xu Qingyuan quickly fell asleep in bed.
At night, the research institute was silent, with dim lighting.
The entire Laboratory Module was adjusted to the nighttime system, with only the operating machines emitting a faint humming sound.
"First, shut down the water circulation system, then go open the alloy cover above to inject the anesthetic into the mermaid. Do you understand?" said the security captain walking in front to the few people behind him.
"Yes, captain," several people nodded and followed the security captain's instructions.
First, one person shut down the water circulation system on the wall, then someone else simultaneously activated the daytime system.
The bright lights instantly illuminated the entire room, quickly waking the mermaid who had been sleeping at the bottom of the tank.
Ansheng raised her gaze, gently swaying the fin at the end of her tail, creating rippling waves in the water. Her thick, brown hair revealed an impatient expression on her face.
The underwater protective net was extremely heavy, and it took four people just to spread it out into a shape suitable for changing the net. "Captain, what should we do next?" the team members asked the captain, who had already reached the control platform at the top of the water tank, requesting further instructions.
"Follow my lead. Everyone stay alert. As soon as the mermaid surfaces, open fire on it."
"Yes, Captain."
All seven of them stood on top of the water tank. Two stepped forward to prepare to input the commands to open the alloy cover, while the Captain and the other dead men stood behind, holding their guns aimed at the front.
"Clang."
The alloy cover opened, but Ansheng did not swim to the surface. For a moment, everyone struggled to find an angle to shoot.
Two people standing in front turned around, and after receiving a signal from the captain, boldly leaned their upper bodies over the glass cylinder.
"Rip~"
A piercing sound echoed, and the two monitors facing the experimental water tank began to stop moving, their red lights flickering on and off.
In the unnoticed central monitoring room, two staff members were discussing the recent romantic escapades of the hottest actress in the entertainment industry.
The monitoring screen displayed gray and white stripes, but in the next moment, it returned to normal, switching back to the scene inside the Laboratory Module.
Ansheng looked up at the security personnel above, a strange smile curling at the corners of his mouth, and then he vanished from their sight, becoming invisible right before them.
"mermaid?"
"How come it suddenly disappeared."
"Don't panic, aim and shoot underwater," the security captain ordered as he noticed the crowd in a state of confusion and fear.
With several gunshots, tranquilizer darts shot through the water, creating lines in the surface. There was no sign of red below the surface, indicating they had not hit their target.
"Tear~"
The surveillance screen turned black and white again.
The surveillance camera blacked out for about twenty seconds this time. When it resumed normal operation, the camera turned to the ground, revealing four mutilated bodies, while the remaining three people had particularly horrified expressions on their faces.
It's unclear what they saw, as they couldn't even hold onto their guns, letting them fall to the ground, and they didn't shift their gaze away. They just stood there with pale faces, staring at the blind spot of the surveillance.
"Tear~"
After this time, the monitoring screen never returned to normal. Only black and white stripes kept flashing on the monitoring screens in hundreds of central control rooms.
And by the time the two negligent surveillance personnel noticed this, it was already too late.
