Mermaid Effect - Chapter 165
A few hours later, the inside of the destroyer sounded a mechanical broadcast, and other scientists, such as Simon, would gather on the deck with the soldiers preparing to experiment. Even though it was late at night, the helicopter’s searchlights illuminated the small area as bright as white. On the side of the destroyer, dozens of boats were heading towards them, and the officers were preparing to enter the base one by one according to the list. People are grouped.
“I will conduct a security check right away. I will temporarily close the communicator… Rand, I wish you good luck.”
Rand and Munster were hiding in the crevices of the arsenal in the noise of the crowd, hiding their existence by shadow.
Pressing the earlobe, the built-in communicator has a sigh of silence from Simon. Then after a whisper, the sound inside was suddenly cut off.
“I wish you good luck too.”
Rand whispered to Simon, who could not hear it, with a hint of melancholy in his tone.
When those people started to board the boat, Munster and Rand also sneaked into the seabed along the ship’s wall from a corner of the deck. The sea is cold and biting, the ink is generally dark, and the sea level is filled with turbulent waves due to the gust of wind from the low-pressure helicopter.
The water mist is turned into ice crystals at the moment of splashing from the sea water, and then the wind is blown and stirred into a group of pale white ice cages on the sea.
Almost no one spoke. The only thing floating in the cold air was the rustling of the people wearing the winter clothes, the roar of the helicopters, and the sound of regular waves. Under the illumination of the searchlight, everyone looks like a mechanical machine with no expression, and it looks like a piece of dialogue in a absurd drama.
Rand and Munster looked at the direction of the crowd at last glance, and then Rand put himself on the respirator, hugged Munster, and silently sank into the sea. They only left a small whirlpool on the sea, but the vortex was quickly annihilated in the waves.
On the surface of the water, the huge and heavy darkness, with a strong sense of oppression, Rand even has the illusion that they are some kind of heterogeneous and ancient monsters, who are trying to devour all life. His breathing increased slightly, and Munster noticed his nervousness and turned his head to kiss him gently on his ear.
do not worry–
It said with the mouth type next to Rand.
Blu-ray makes its face look faint and incongruous, with the inhuman beauty, it is more and more like the legendary evil and ethereal magical creatures.
Rand nodded at it and signaled that he could adapt.
They slowly swam under a small boat, and as the motor at the back of the boat sounded, the small, seemingly fragile temporary sea transport drove towards the other side of the dark, and the helicopter The lights always shrouded them, and a fragile blue-white light shone above the water. Without a long swim, Rand felt the pain of his skin, and the low temperature of the sea was eroding his fragile human body. Now he finally realized what Simon said, “I don’t recommend staying in the water for too long.” What is going on?
Although the previously injected protein will protect him from the trauma caused by low temperature, the pain caused by the cold itself will not disappear.
After twenty minutes they finally saw the true appearance of the -2 floating island laboratory. There is still a huge huge body under the surface of the water, and the red warning lights dotted in some parts flash like regular devil eyes. While seeing it, Rand suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of tension, perhaps because it was related to Vincent. Rand felt that he had some nervousness. The floating island gave him a terrible feeling. Just seeing it, Rand couldn’t control what might be wrong.
“Arrived”
Munster reached for a shot of Rand. On the side of the floating island, a huge mechanical sound rang, and the dark alloy metal door lifted up cumbersomely, bringing a lot of water.
The gate is open.
The speed of the dinghy quickly slowed down and they lined up as the team slowly entered the sluice.
On the other side of the sluice, there is a flash of light that is necessary for artificial buildings. The light divides the inside and outside of the gate into two distinct worlds. At this time, Rand and Munster posted themselves to the bottom of the boat and followed the boat into the floating island with a rather dangerous attitude. Looking up from the bottom of the water, you can faintly see the situation on the dock. It can almost be said to be empty. Randburn thought that there would be a large number of people inside the base to meet the arrival of Simon and others, but The facts seem to be the opposite. There are not even police officers on duty at the docks. Some of them only have flat-panel and no emotional mechanical broadcasts to guide the group of silent foreigners. How to enter the interior through the gateway according to the signs… …
A strange feeling –
Rand hides in the shadows, frowning at the scene in front of him, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart is constantly fermenting.
This group of people… No, this base has a breath that makes him very uncomfortable.
He can feel that something is wrong, but he can’t point it out.
After everyone left the dock, Rand took off his heavy diving suit behind the filter basket and took out the prepared dry clothes from the waterproof bag.
It was a plaid shirt, a light beige wool shirt and a white research suit. Of course, there were also monotonous wool trousers and leather shoes.
Rand put this set of clothing on himself, and his weak temperament made him look even more like a researcher than Simon.
“咔嚓-“
Rand took the last thing out of the waterproof bag, a badge, and buckled on his chest.
His face was dull and boring, next to his “name”, Christopher Robin. After seeing the name, Rand glimpsed a little bit, and there was a bitter smile on his lips.
Next, he needs to borrow this Simon as a forged researcher as close as possible to the imprisonment room. At the time they were thinking about a secret base that was so large but rebuilt in a hurry that the composition of the insiders should be complicated. Rand will be able to fish in such a situation, but the reality is that the entire secret base is as quiet as a cemetery. If the dinghy is not swaying on the water of the artificial dock, Rand almost thinks that the so-called The scientists who come to aid and the soldiers who will be experimenting are the illusions that they create under pressure.
The blowers screamed low over their heads, and the sound was loud, as the fan blades had not cleaned the surface for a long time.
The strangeness that Rand instincts felt was more and more intense.
He ventured his head out of the filter trough and looked at the whole dock with a look of sight.
There are obvious mottle marks on the wall. Some metal plates have been rusted by salt brine. The lights are always flashing and the air is very cold. It proves that there is no passage to the heating, the whole pier… Or the whole base gives the impression that So shabby and gloomy, Rand does not think this is what a military base should look like.
There must be something going on here!
He knocked on his own communicator and tried to contact Simon, but there was only a harsh white noise on the other side, and he did not open the communication as agreed.
Rand’s heartbeat speeded up.
“Rand?”
Munster nervously observed Rand’s expression, and asked for his tail.
Rand looked at it and immediately realized that the monster was waiting for his instructions. Once he made the decision, he would not hesitate to execute its orders.
No, it is not the time to be nervous and panicked.
Rand forced himself to calm down, and he needed more evidence for the vague idea that appeared in his mind.
……
With the help of Munster, Rand tried to climb from the vent to a dressing room outside the dock.
According to the rules of the base, the first thing after the outsiders enter the base is to inspect and perform body disinfection. After that, they disinfect the externally brought clothes in a locker room, seal them, and then replace them with the uniforms prepared by the base. Uniform – the same thing that is worn by Rand. When Rand jumped from the air vent and entered the locker room, he found that there was no one in the room. Under the dim light, there was a mess in the storage room, scattered seats and a lot of broken glass.
There is water on the ground, which gives off a strong stench.
Rand can now confirm that Simon should have not entered here – from the scenes he can currently see, it has been abandoned for some time. The air is very humid, and the ground emits a strong smell of acid from the fermentation of the garbage. Munster poked his head out from the air vent, then hooked his tail to the edge of the vent and slowly leaned over and hugged him with his hand on the waist.
“I am holding you from the ceiling.”
It looked at the sewage on the ground in disgust, and then said.
Rand shook his head at it.
“No, we are still going from the air duct.”
He says.
A little further to the front is a small chapel. In principle, researchers who change clothes after disinfection will make a short collection here. As Rand conceived, the situation here is also very bad.
The metal walls were broken, and the warm water pipes hidden behind the walls braved the water. Now Rand knows the source of the water.
If Rand did not make a mistake, I am afraid that the room along this vent has been flooded.
“This is not right.”
Rand said to Munster – as if he was speaking to himself.
From the inside of the clothes, he took out the dagger that Simon had given him before, bowed his body, and slowly stepped on the water from the ground to the door of the chapel.
After opening the door, the outer corridor is a darkness.
There are no guards, no lights, there is no sound like a different space… Rand licked his lips and went out.
“–You should try to avoid this corridor, where the room where the inspection terminal is placed is connected. The base personnel responsible for reviewing the identity information are likely to enter and exit here. If you are seen by them, they will treat you this. Zhang’s ‘completely strange’ face is vigilant…”
Rand remembers the warning Simon had made to himself.
“There is no sound of human activity… heartbeat, breathing, footsteps, no.”
Munster followed closely to Rand’s side, and he whispered to Rand.
“In theory, Simon should be here now.”
Rand replied.
Rand took a step forward, but at this time, his toe kicked something small made of metal.
The thing flew out and knocked a lot on the ground, leaving a clear metal sound.
“叮-叮-叮-“
In ordinary occasions, the sound that should be inaccessible is so scary at this time, and the echo echoes for a long time in the deep walkway like a monster’s throat.
When Rand’s face changed, he slowly lowered his head and touched it a little at his feet. Soon, he picked up one of the numerous metal tubes from the sticky ground and put it in his palm.
Smell at the nose, you can clearly smell the smell of gunpowder left in the metal tube.
This is an empty warhead – and at the foot of Rand, there are numerous warheads.
“God… what happened here…”
In the dark, he couldn’t help but mutter.
And in the darkness that he could not see, with a whisper
