I felt my body tremble with the white mist that had come out of the door.
'Click'.
The tall man with the gun pulled the safety of the gun in his hand. I didn't look closely, but I realized that the guns they were holding weren't ordinary at all. I knew nothing about guns, but they carry much bigger weapons than I've ever seen on TV before. The greater the volume, the greater the damage. I dare not dwell on it.
Inside the door was another corridor, glass on either side of my arm. A few men dressed as Alice, one of whom pressed a red button on the wall As soon as he/she pressed the button, I was sprayed with an indescribable odor. The low temperature caused by the gas sent a shiver down my spine.
“Relax, Sweetie, it's just a sanitizer,” Alice held me firmly in her arms and dragged me across the door on the other side of the hall, “You will see him later, so please relax, because your irritability may also affect him and cause us unnecessary trouble.”
The next closed door was followed by a gush of gas, which slowly split in the middle. I thought the scene behind the door would be one of a huge, ugly monster held firmly in place by a thick chain. I even closed my eyes in fear when I was dragged through the door.
"Hey, Sweetie, open your eyes," Alice's voice came with a smile.
I took a deep breath and slowly opened my eyes. The scene behind the door is very ordinary. It was exactly like a normal valley scene out there, at night.
There is even a large lake in the middle of the valley. Get confirmed again, the Murphy Institute is very well funded. Can you imagine being moved into a lake in a room made of steel and concrete? An ecosystem of its own. I exclaim.
"It's usually hidden in the water." Alice dragged me a few steps forward.
I came to my senses. A wooden boat, floating on the calm surface of the lake. Everything was so quiet that I could hear the faint rustle of their coats. And it all seemed like a calm before the storm.
Alice walked up to the wooden boat first and put her hand in the water. The water ripples spread from the bottom of the boat, “All right, Cara. Come here.”
“What are you doing?” I step by step to move towards her.
There was a brief laugh from the respirator, “I'm telling it we're coming.”
When I heard this, I suddenly felt my calf begin to cramp up slightly.
“I'm just kidding. it has a mild personality. Don't worry about it~”
If your guys could pull back your guns, do not point them at the water, maybe I would trust you.
The other three, after boarding the boat, were sitting in the stern and front of the boat, carrying their guns, eyes fixed on the scope scanning the water.
"Okay, we're going to the center of the lake," Alice untied the mooring line, picked up the wood pulp in the boat, and began to paddle in the water. The boat slowly moved toward the middle of the lake.
When the boat began to row, I realized that the lake was much bigger than what I had seen on the shore. I leaned against the side of the boat and looked out over the lake. The shallow water was clear and visible, but the deep water was dark like a black hole that swallowed everything that came near it, "Did your guys build this?"
"No, it was during excavation that we discovered an underground layer of water that eventually led to the formation of a lake." Alice glanced at me, then quickly turned her eyes back to the water. I could feel her nervousness without pulling down her mask.
We sat on the boat and circled the lake many times back and forth. In the beginning, I was very scared, but then my nerves began to relax in this boating game, and eventually I started slapping the water, "Ms. Alice, is he napping?"
Alice froze for a moment, then walked from the bow to the center, opened the box in the middle of the boat, and took out a few small, lively fish. She cut the fish's belly with her knife, red blood flowed from the fish. And then she threw the struggling fish into the water. Red blood runs through the water.
My heart pounding became so loud, my eyes involuntarily stared at the fish disappeared place.
One two three four five…Until the fish completely disappeared and disappeared, the lake returned to its calm, the amazing creatures still did not appear.
I'm a little disappointed. I remember a few years ago when my father and I were tracking killer whales at sea. We were doing the same thing: following the shoals of fish in the ocean. In the extreme winter environment, I hide on the ice, day after day waiting for them to appear. God knows how much I love its black-and-white appearance. The sad thing was we waited for two months like two idiots. Nothing happened, the sea was very calm. In the end, when we connected to the Internet, the fish changed their migration route because of global warming.
It seems that I will return empty-handed this time. I am a bit fidgety clap a boat side, and the palm of my hand came a tingling feeling, “what deuced bad luck!” I looked at my hand: The sawdust into my hand. Blood gushed from the small cut. I pulled the sawdust out of my hand. With a flick of my index finger, the sawdust into the water.
"It looks like we're going to get nowhere today." Alice returned to the bow, prepared to row the boat back to shore.
The lake in front of me suddenly gave out a lot of bubbles, "A…Alice!! "
“What is going on?” She replied to me.
Other small bubbles immediately behind, like boiling water bubble out of the general.
“Oh, my Gosh! Bring the gun to me!” Alice screamed. “There it is!! !”
I had never seen her scream like that.
The wooden boat rose and fell as if it were sailing on a stormy sea. I was so terrified that I could hear my teeth grinding and shaking. When the killer whale surfaces, the bubbles are just a small area of its blowhole.
But this, I took a look at the bubbling area.
“How... how big Is It?”
I was terrified. When I was a kid to see a shark in the Atlantic, or a wildebeest migrating into a lion's territory. None of this frightened me, but now I was curled up in the corner of the stern, trembling uncontrollably. Not just me. Elise's upset, too. She gripped the handle of the gun tightly. If anything goes wrong, she'll pull the trigger and sweep the water.He seemed to go back into the deep water, where large bubbles began to small bubbles on the side of the boat."Oh, there he is," said Alice with a smile and pulled the trigger, "Be quiet, baby."As soon as her voice fell, the lake immediately a large number of sprays. It's like an animal struggling in the water. Then the creature slowly floated up.Alice smiles more happily. She reached out and grabbed the creature from the water, pulling it out. When she saw the creature she had caught, her face suddenly changed. Its long body is covered with livid scales and its mouth is full of sharp teeth, which means the creature is a
“If it's just the human eye that needs light to look too closely, it's the most sophisticated organ in nature. Why isn't it perfect in terms of function?”I found my eyes as if she was strangling the general, can not help but move to his eyes.“Why not combine the wide-angle view of an eagle with the night vision of a cat?”I couldn't look at his eyes without a device to figure out the density of cones and the two concave centers in his eyes, or the shape of the lens without cutting it open. But during my trance, the pupil changes from a circle to a cone, which is the window through which the light enters, the intensity of the light.“Wouldn't it be a shame to lose the sea if it were only perfect on land?” Bewitched by the sound, I reached out and pressed on his eyelids. There is not only a thin layer of eyelids, but eyelids also wrapped under a layer of smooth thin, then the thin piece was gently pulled down by me.I can't help but gasp for this creation of the Creator. It's like whe
A child who hasn't grown up at all. This is the only word I can use to describe this creature."It's been about three months since it was created, and in terms of human adulthood, maybe it is a child... ... existing research, we can't measure its age by human standards, but something is certain.""What?""It has the intelligence of an eight-year-old human.""It's unlikely. He is not behaving like an eight-year-old boy.""You know, dolphins can also target a shark's weakness, and it has the intelligence of a five-year-old child, not to mention what the genes say," said Miss Claire, who drew my blood. Also, she told me she would get someone to draw my blood, but she ended up doing it herself.“There aren't enough people on here because the research that was stalled has been brought up to speed,” she turned her head and tore open the bag containing the syringe, "Who wants to come early in the morning and draw your blood, and then take that Monster's blood..."Claire rolled her eyes, a fa
Its intelligence is no less than 8 years old human.This knowledge makes me shudder, "Let me out!""What?" Alice's voice sounded surprised."It knows the blind spot of the camera. How can an eight-year-old child know how to flirt?" I still have the body that was just licked and gnawed by its electric shock, waves of shivering."Heh," she said through the intercom with a muffled laugh. "You're so jumpy, it doesn't mean anything.""How can it not say anything?" The thought of its profound smile sent a shiver down my spine.Here again, here again! I watched it burrow down again, it is humped back like the back of a feeding cat. The golden eyes were glued to my bare arms. It lazily stuck out its scarlet tongue and licked it. Then it lifted its head and opened its mouth. It's like saying to me, I am eating…"It's going to eat me!! !" I screamed and couldn't hold it any longer.I thought this might be the best I could do in my life, and it stumbled, fell back, and hit its head on the ground
Alice was taken aback by the turn of events.Fortunately, its later movements were noticeably slower, and the force of the impact smaller and smaller. He sat down slowly, maintaining his stoop to gather strength. But his head was raised and locked firmly in my sight.I looked at the pair of golden eyes, from bright slowly become dark, little by little. As if he were questioning me. Why did I cheat it?I felt my eye sockets turn sour, "Does it have to be this rough?" I couldn't hold back any longer and grabbed Alice's arm."Sweetie, you have to remember that no matter how similar it looks to humans, it's still a beast. When you were in the wild, would you approach the lion with a needle without any preparation?" She tapped me on the shoulder.I certainly understand these principles, and can not be unprepared to approach the beast, this is the basic principle of biologists to study the beast.‘Bam!’ The glass door shook violently w
The research had finally begun after I had let go of the last of my worries.Alice also seemed to notice a change in my thinking. She no longer limited my time with it and even provided me with a lot of equipment."Perfect, just perfect." From the blood drawn, the genes of the different species fit together perfectly, and gene expression happens to pick out the best bits.“How do your guys do it? You make it just happen to be the best part, and you end up looking so much like a human...” I was incoherent with excitement.“Yes, Yes, my girl,” said Alice, holding my shoulder, “You're so excited,” she said, pushing me toward the screen.He lies on the bank, slapping the water with his paws."We use a lot of animal genes, fish, birds, apes...""There won't be any more humans?" I turned my head."No, no, no!" She said, turning my head to face the screen. "It was just an egg."It was true, a
No reproductive organs. How is that possible? I turned off the instrument and carried him out of it.Alice, they like to call his legs “hindlimbs”, and in their hearts, they think of him as a mentally retarded beast."You're not, are you?" I held his legs. "Spread your legs."I reached up and gently stroked his lower calf. He squinted and hummed twice, spreading his legs along with my strength.Only three toes. The foot is also three times the size of a human being, and the central bone of the foot is very soft and can be bent at will.This would be a part of a partial reptile. When he climbs a tree, the balls of his feet bend and the nails in his toes hook onto the trunk.The muscles under the scales beat strongly and strongly. The crus bones bend back, similar to the kangaroo."Well... let me see here." I was so drawn to its other features that I almost forgot my ultimate goal. I felt between his two legs, where his geni
“Cognitive awareness. Do you know what that means? He has the potential to increase his intelligence. He just needs a teacher for now. I. . .”"What do you want?" Alice looked at me calmly with her dark blue eyes."I mean... the results of the study show that Mason grew rapidly during these three months, and the current study shows that his intelligence only reached the age of eight, but that does not mean that his intelligence is not likely to continue to develop.""Mason? is that what you call it?""Well... I've thought of other names, but he is not interested at all, so...""Very good. I am very pleased that your two are very close.""Ms. ALICE!" I was furious at her for not caring about my research. "I'm talking to you about my research, not the intimacy!" I'm sorry. Please continue..." She shrugs."I'd like to do some tests on his cognitive abilities," I said, a little nervously. From the time I got into gradu
I dreamed it again.The whole world is black, only the body up and down the feeling tells me that I am now in the 'escape' .To be precise, it is to be carried 'on the run' .It was a terrible escape.The sticky liquid soon soaked half of my body, although it eased the pain from the friction of his scales and me, but no one would want to be held so uncomfortably and bumped.Plus the very uncomfortable hug posture.I was shaken so dizzy. Babies don’t hide their emotions at all, and I expressed my feelings very straightforwardly at that time. With a cry, the corridor that was only echoing with the sound of footsteps on the ground was followed by a high-pitched baby cry.“Ooh!” The monster holding me cried out, and the cold claws came up like this, patting my back up and down.That way of comforting was really bad. The claws were cold, how could a small baby bear it?Unexpectedly, the crying stopped. I could clearly feel that feeling, just like being patted on the back by my mother, in t
“Cara~” He called out to me again and came over slowly. This position is so shameful that the lower half of my body is completely exposed, legs spread out in front of him. "Don't come any closer!" I struggled for a moment, then was pulled back by the restraints on my wrists. My legs were wide open, and his gaze felt like sharp needles piercing my body, giving me the feeling of being a naked mouse waiting for mating, making me extremely uncomfortable. "Don't! Don't look at me!" I closed my eyes, avoiding his gaze, tears streaming out uncontrollably. “Cara···” I was disgusted by the sudden smell of blood in my nose. Blech! “Cara!” I had just opened my eyes when a deep green claw covered in blood appeared in front of me. Then Mason quickly withdrew his claw, wiping it on his body twice, and finally sniffing it under his nose. Then he blinked, half-clasping his claw, and gently wiped the tears from my face with his curved knuckles. I suddenly remembered some of the romance movie
“Heart rate dropping… Hurry!!!” The beeping of the machine was incessant in my ears, followed by a crackle and a surge of electricity that jolted my whole body. I bounced up and down uncontrollably on the bed. “Heart rate rising… Good… Very good…” My body felt like a battery that had been recharged after the shock. I regained some vitality. I opened my eyes. I could sense many people crowding around me, their voices reaching me in fragments, but muffled by an invisible barrier. There was a glass panel in front of me. No, I was trapped in a transparent glass chamber. What are you doing? I opened my mouth. “Yiya… Yiya…”No, that wasn’t my voice. “Oh, my Kara…”The glass lid was lifted, revealing two familiar faces. Dad, Mom… I felt a lump in my throat when I saw them. I remembered this scene. Dad had told me that when I was born, I had a brief cardiac arrest. Luckily, they managed to snatch me back from the jaws of death. My father was a tough-minded biologist, but he couldn’
I jolted awake and sat up on the bed. The room was pitch-black, except for the faint blue glow of the screen on the wall near the door. I touched my pajamas, which were intact and snug on my body. The air was clean and odorless. Everything that had happened seemed like a dream. I got up from the bed, feeling no discomfort in my body. Instead, I felt refreshed and relaxed, as if I had a good rest. I was also dry and spotless. Maybe it was just a dream. ‘I am an asshole…’ I covered my face with my hands. How could I have such a dream? Did I secretly wish for something like that to happen? “Cara, are you awake?” The pager in the coat hanging on the rack rang. I walked to the rack and took out the caller. “I just woke up. What’s going on?” Claire’s voice came with a smile. “We did it. We created a new, less toxic individual. Wiles is saved… I mean, I want to invite you to see the new synthetic creature. Your father is on his way back…” “Mason… what will happen to him?” I clenche
“Cara~” He called out to me again and came over slowly.This position is so shameful that the lower half of my body is completely exposed, legs spread out in front of him."Don't come any closer!" I struggled for a moment, then was pulled back by the restraints on my wrists. My legs were wide open, and his gaze felt like sharp needles piercing my body, giving me the feeling of being a naked mouse waiting for mating, making me extremely uncomfortable."Don't! Don't look at me!" I closed my eyes, avoiding his gaze, tears streaming out uncontrollably.“Cara···”I was disgusted by the sudden smell of blood in my nose.Blech!“Cara!”I had just opened my eyes when a deep green claw covered in blood appeared in front of me.Then Mason quickly withdrew his claw, wiping it on his body twice, and finally sniffing it under his nose.Then he blinked, half-clasping his claw, and gently wiped the tears from my face with his curved knuckles.I suddenly remembered some of the romance movies I had pl
The blanket was nowhere to be found. I must have kicked it away in my restless sleep. Darkness enveloped me like a shroud. I felt the dampness of my pajamas, drenched in sweat. I was awake now, and my throat was parched and raw. I staggered out of bed. My head was throbbing and I nearly collapsed to the floor. “Am I have a fever?” I wondered. I touched my forehead, which felt slightly warmer than my palm. Actually, my whole body was burning up. Sweat had wetted my bangs and they stuck to my forehead. It was only after I gulped down a glass of ice water that I felt a bit less hot. Did I leave the door open? The door of my room was somehow open, and the emergency light outside the corridor was not on either. Looking out from inside, it was creepy and ominous. I hesitated for a moment, then walked to the door. The blue screen on the wall that controlled the door switch was also dark. Was there a power outag
“That’s just your normal physiological response…” Claire smiled awkwardly, looking a bit embarrassed. She tossed the thing in her hand into the garbage bin. I took a deep breath, shaking my still woozy head. I couldn’t hold it any longer and plopped down on the floor, soaking the ground with a large puddle." "Physiological response?" I laughed mockingly and hid my face in my knees. “Can you still stand up?” Claire asked, supporting my arm and half-pulling me off the ground. I had been holding back some of my body’s reactions when I was hurrying to bring the centrifuge tube to Alice. Now that my nerves relaxed… “I feel as soft as cotton, soaked cotton.” I moved my fingers, following the tug of my nerves. They barely lifted a bit, then fell down, lying limp on one side. “It feels like I’ve been anesthetized…” And it was the kind of ‘anesthesia’ that sent electric shocks through my body, leaving only a tingling pleasure. "Are you okay? You're very not yourself now!" Claire hugged
Alice’s malice was fully revealed, and what she wanted was far from simple.But Alice was also unusually agreeable when her demands were met, and she would satisfy me as long as I didn’t ask for too much.“It’s like a final kindness before the death sentence, right? She has been separating us deliberately or unintentionally ever since you began to tell me some secrets.” I said. I lifted my arms and let Claire help me put on my jacket.“Is there anything else you want to say to me?”Claire’s fingers stiffened as they moved around my collar. She lowered her head and chose silence.I was annoyed by her mute silence. “Alice only gave me a tube of anesthetic. You know, Mason wouldn’t faint even in an environment full of anesthetic gas. What effect could a small tube of anesthetic have?”Claire paused for a moment, then resumed her numb expression as she pressed my waist and pulled down my shorts.“Claire, I won’t run away. I have no other choice.”That sentence was like a spell, a spell th
I was petrified by the scene before me, which was like something out of a horror movie. The intercom slipped from my hand and fell into the water.He seemed oblivious to it all, sighing contentedly as he turned and swam towards me. Then I felt a cold object press against my palm and rub up and down.My face turned red with embarrassment.I kicked him away from me, scrambled out of the water, and ran out of the artificial habitat.He didn’t try to stop me, and I made it to the lab without any trouble. I slammed the door behind me, and it made a dull thud.“Are you okay?” Claire looked at me.“Didn’t you see?” I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down. The image was still vivid in my mind.“It came out… his secondary sexual organ.” I moved my lips, trying to recall the words I had learned, wracking my brain to describe that thing. But I gave up.“What?!” “That’s wonderful!” Claire and Alice had two completely different reactions.Claire was pale as a ghost, disbelief was written all
