Chapter 22 Evacuation

 In the damp and fishy-smelling laboratory,

 An ancient being who needed to calculate his life cycle using the "old time calendar" suddenly felt a sense of peeping from behind.

#Um? Has anything interesting been sent over? #

 Stop writing with whisker-like fingers.

 turn your head,

The gills on its neck are slightly open, and through the gill gaps, it seems like you can see an ocean world filled with strange fish.

 Just as He turned around a sick face that could not be parsed by the naked eye or described in words,

　　Poof~

 In the experimental tank behind him, a fish eye as small as a grain of rice exploded and shattered.

 The sense of voyeurism no longer exists.

However,

There are thousands of tiny fish eyes like this in this tank.

He did not take it seriously and continued to engage in important data recording work.

 …

  【Perspective switching】

 Listening to the epic music from the sea,

Looking at the terrifying back that is far beyond comprehension,

Yi Chen lost control of his consciousness almost instantly, and he couldn't even move his vision...like fish, letting himself be slaughtered.

 In the field of view,

The unknown being who was recording data in front of him seemed to be aware of his prying eyes.

 turn head slowly

Such a normal behavior gave Yi Chen an unprecedented sense of fear.

This oldest and most primitive emotion is like a pair of big hands, squeezing the soul tightly and threatening to tear it completely to pieces at any time.

 The process of turning one's head is like a countdown to death.

crucial moment,

Familiar mixed noises came from the consciousness,

　　　William, wake up! 』

 When the sound came, it was also accompanied by a strong sense of pulling.

Buzz!

Yichen's consciousness broke free at this moment, pulling away from the abyss covered with fish scales and full of fishy smell. Travel through the slit of time and space and return to the green lake.

 When you open your eyes again,

 He has returned to his familiar body.

 In the dark depths of the lake,

 The giant eye as the "monitor" has been completely sucked dry, like an empty balloon, lying lifelessly at the bottom of the lake.

 The fully fed little grape has returned, hidden under the skin and flesh, in a rather strange state of pregnancy, leaving only one sentence behind.

"Next...I need a longer rest. Unless there is a death crisis, don't call me."

 The voice ends,

 The connection between consciousness is weakened to 1/10, and one can only feel that the flesh ball is located in the abdominal cavity, undergoing subtle gestation and growth.

However,

 The crisis in Green Lake Town has not been resolved.

The giant eye is just a "watcher",

Its death only allowed the townspeople to break free from their chains and become more free... The activities of the townspeople infected by "Ichthyosis" did not decrease at all, and they may even become more crazy.

At the same time,

The mermaids wandering in the green lake all looked at the strange individual at the bottom of the lake, staring at the uninfected stranger... Instinct drove them to swim quickly.

 There are so many of them that there is no room for escape!

Emergency moment,

A white shadow crashed into the lake so fast that no living thing could see it clearly.

 White light passes over the fish.

Two powerful pointed claws dug directly into the flesh and blood between Yi Chen's shoulders and got stuck in the bone seam~

 Before I have time to feel the pain,

An unimaginable traction was conveyed, and he was pulled directly out of the bottom of the lake. The mermaids who tried to stop him along the way were torn apart by some kind of hidden wind blade, making them unable to stop him.

　　Wow!

 There was a lot of water splashing on the lake surface,

 Yi Chen was completely pulled out and flew close to the ground.

  Finally thrown to the back door of [Green Shade Hotel].

Snapped! Put your hands on the wall and barely land.

Yi Chen quickly looked up,

It was then that he saw clearly that the one who rescued him was actually a white-feathered owl.

Before I could say thank you, the other party had already flown away.

Also at this moment,

 The boss opened the back door and dragged Yi Chen into the hotel.

 The dim pupils on the boss's face became clear at this moment.

"You...really did it! Kadaisi, take Mr. William to the basement to recover from his injuries."

"knew!"

The thin sister in a white dress easily carried Yi Chen on her shoulders.

 Follow the secret passage to the basement,

 Sister brought some dry towels and wiped Yi Chen's body carefully.

 Surprisingly,

 After soaking in the lake for such a long time,

 The clothes on my body were not soaked. I only needed to wipe off the remaining water stains on the surface and they would look brand new.

The only thing that needs attention is the shoulder that was penetrated by the owl, and a little lake water flowed into the wound...

 Kadaisi wiped it with a towel first.

 Suddenly put cold lips on each other,

 Suck hard~

 The blood and the lake water mixed in it are all sucked out, and the infection is blocked.

“That way it should be fine~ I’ll go up and get some delicious food, you can wait here.”

 Sister left,

Yi Chen sat alone on a chair in the basement.

Although this adventure at the bottom of the lake did not cause any substantial harm,

 But the overall mental state of the person is not very good.

 Lingering tinnitus,

 Slightly swollen cranial cavity,

 And the abyss laboratory that flashes through my mind from time to time,

 Unknowingly,

 A wisp of nosebleed actually flowed out, accompanied by a strong sense of dizziness, which almost made Yi Chen fall off the chair.

 “Are there any sequelae caused by spiritual invasion?

I didn't even open my eyes, but I was still hit... I relied entirely on Little Putao to finally kill [Monitor's Giant Eye].

 And such a giant eye that spreads ichthyosis and rules Green Lake Town is just a small product in the laboratory.

 I am too weak now,

 There should be ways to grow and become stronger in this world, and there may be such methods in organizations. "

 Going through life and death at the bottom of the lake,

 Yi Chen was not afraid of this,

 On the contrary, it stimulated his desire to explore the world, and he was eager to make himself stronger so as to explore more things.

 At this time,

 Kadaisi came to the basement carrying a bowl of special fish soup.

 Thick,

 Bubbling,

black,

A variety of fish heads that looked like they had been irradiated were crowded among the soup bowls,

The smell was like a smelly fish drowned in a footbath, and no one noticed it for a week.

“My brother specially prepared this. He said that if you can come back alive, this fish head soup will be of great help.”

 “Okay…okay.”

 Taking this large bowl of fish soup that seemed to serve several people,

 Testively touch the surface of the viscous soup with your fingers.

 After confirming that there is no rejection of the plants in the body,

Pinch your nose with one hand,

Hold the soup bowl in one hand and pour it into your mouth.

With a turbulence in my stomach, the lingering tinnitus gradually subsided, and the swelling in the skull gradually disappeared.

"nice one!"

Just when Yi Chen was sighing at the magic of this exotic food,

The loud and powerful sound came from the top, penetrated through the building partitions of the hotel, and reached Yi Chen's ears clearly... The whole town could also hear this sound.

“Attention all assessors.

Please rush to the east exit of the town as quickly as possible. The organized carriage will be waiting for you there. The time limit is [ten minutes].

 Once the time is exceeded, it will be regarded as a failure of the assessment. "

 “Has the assessment ended early?”

 After hearing the news, Yi Chen immediately became energetic.

 Back to the hotel.

The Green Shade Hotel is located at the exit on the south side of the town, far away from the east exit of the gathering... There is a greater risk in trying to travel through a town that is completely out of control and rioting.

Not to mention, Little Grape is in a special state and it is difficult to provide visual assistance.

“Mr. William, the east exit you want to go to either needs to go through the city center or around the lake.

 The road is dangerous, we will send you there. "

"Is it too dangerous? If organized personnel exit on the east side, they may take action against you."

 “As long as it’s not too close, it should be fine.”

Yi Chen did not refuse, he indeed needed the help of his brothers and sisters.

 Using similar means,

 The body was disguised as a body, lying flat on a wooden cart, and pushed to the east entrance by the brother and sister.

Because there was a dangerous patient who had completely shed their scales in the center of the town, they chose to walk around the lake... There was no obstacle in the whole journey, and no townspeople would doubt such advanced beings as the brothers and sisters.

 When the outline of the carriage was barely visible, the brother and sister also stopped.

　　The eve of separation,

 Considering that we are about to embark on the road of ‘disease cure’,

　　If we meet again in the future, our stance may be completely different.

 Just give a hug silently, without saying "goodbye" or any other words.

but,

When he hugged his boss, the other party patted Yi Chen gently on the back and whispered into his ear:

“Get out of here quickly ~ Mr. William... You are the strangest human being I have ever seen, and you are even completely different from other people. Maybe you really have a chance to cure this hopeless world.

 If there is a chance [Goodbye],

Please don’t hesitate and kill us directly. "

Yi Chen didn’t reply.

　　Just looked at each other for a second, then immediately turned around and ran to the meeting point.
