The Merman, My Man Chapter 261: Arriving at the Nuclear Power Plant
“Hey, is everybody ready? We’re making a port call at a mysterious nuclear power plant for an exploration trip.” As Gary entered, I swiftly attached the scale over the Swiss Army knife like a charm and slipped it into my trousers pocket.Then, Gary turned towards me and said with added meaning, “Linda, you don’t have to follow us—stay on the ship and recover properly. I’ll have someone guard you.”“Save it. I’m better now, and I’ll go with you guys,” I said, immediately rejecting his suggestion and rose to my feet with my hands in my pocket. “Oh, really?” Gary gave me a look of disbelief, and walked up to me with his eyes glued to my groin. Then, ignoring that there were others around us, he reached out to take off my pants. “I would have to confirm that, baby.”I eluded his hand in embarrassment while Luna and the others were left frozen in place, watching me in shock and unable to believe what had just happened. They clearly weren’t aware that I knew Gary, let alone the weird co
The Merman, My Man Chapter 262: Arriving at the Nuclear Power Plant
With decades having passed since the detonation of the nuclear bomb, the radition from the nuclear power plant had decreased under the safety range. Still, we wore hazmat suits outside our diving suits to reduce the risk, and looked just like professional scientific researchers after we put on our oxygen mask, although we had an extra set of tools for mountain climbing.When everything was ready, we boarded a kayak and rowed up to the water gate of the nuclear power plant, though we had to get off and swim the rest of the way since we couldn’t row the rest of the way. Fortunately, the sea wasn’t that deep here and our heads would breach the surface if we stood, so we did not have to use our oxygen masks for now. Splitting ourselves into several teams, we entered the narrow entrance one after another. I noticed that the nuclear power plant wasn’t that different from normal ones, with a giant steel tower structure built beneath it, and our entry point had been through an old elevator.
The Merman, My Man Chapter 263: Team One Goes Missing
“Team One, come in—Team One, come in! Report your current depth, have you arrived at the submarine?” Bob’s voice rang out of the walkie-talkie just then, and I was stunned. A submarine? In this place? How did it get down here?“We’re at 325.63 meters, professor! Radar scans show a gigantic object 112 meters below, and we’re guessing that’s where the submarine is!” A reply promptly came from the walkie-talkie. “What’s the radiation level down there?” “10 sieverts, sir. It’s unstable at the moment!”My goodness! I couldn’t help clenching my fist—that level of radiation might not kill immediately, but it would still mean cancer under prolonged exposure. In other words, whatever was under the rift was a hell for mortals, and the only outcome for any normal lifeform falling in there was death, which was why we couldn’t lose our hazmat suits at all costs. After fixing an ascender to a sturdy pillar of the nuclear power plant, we slid down the rift of death, all of us dangling ove
The Merman, My Man Chapter 264: By Design
I was descending regardless of what the others decided, because I knew that the entrance to the merfolk’s realm was down there, and I could definitely meet Dicken there.“We can’t keep heading down. Something must have happened to those beneath, and we’re calling it quits despite the handsome reward you’re offering,” David told Gary after some thought—he had always been smart, and understood that staying alive was most important after going through so much.“David, I’ll need you to deliver a letter for me.” I looked up at the mortal realm, but just as I was about to tell David about a letter addressed to my parents in my desk drawer, I suddenly remembered that the Seeker had been burnt down and my cabin with it. Chuckling bitterly, I instead said, “Uh, forget it—you guys should go back. I have to keep going.”“Why, Linda? Is it for the money? What would you need that for if you’re dead?” Luna abruptly yelled in agitation, and I could even hear her agitated breaths into her oxygen ma
The Merman, My Man Chapter 265: Call My Name
I had no idea what the rapid shaking meant, but my heart seemed to dangle on the rope just then as it raced rapidly. Meanwhile, we did our best to keep ourselves plastered to the wall even as the color drained from our faces. While I did not dare to get close to the holes on the wall, that also prevented me from holding myself steady to the wall. Having no choice, I slowly approached one of the holes, but just as I was about to reach into it to get some balance, there was a dull crack overhead and the rope tied to my body suddenly turned loose. Everyone around me cried out in surprise as we all lost hold of the rope, and plummeted down the abyss. The abrupt feeling of losing all weight soon overwhelmed my senses, and I couldn't make a sound even though I had opened my mouth to scream. The wind was screaming as it blew past my ears, and my heart seemed to have leapt out of my throat while my nerves clenched. Even if I didn’t think I feared death, the proximity to it still scared me—
The Merman, My Man Chapter 266: Pushed to My Limit
I anxiously fumbled through the darkness for Dicken. Although my hands couldn’t reach anything, my feet were coiled even tighter. At the same time, wet breathing could be heard from the walkie-talkie, while electronic static was resonating over my eardrums—in this darkness, it sounded just like a witch’s curse.I began to feel nervous. After all, was there any assurance that the other Dicken wouldn’t remember my name? But if that was truly the case, I had no way of escaping given current circumstances. As such, why would I bother being nervous if there was nowhere to run?I actually felt less panicked when that thought crossed my mind. Perhaps the terror of falling down a bottomless abyss had suddenly pushed me over the edge, changing my perspective that it would be no worse dying here than being tortured by a corrupted Dicken. Just as all sorts of crazy ideas crossed my mind, a sudden power pushed against the airflow to reach my back. The feeling of webbed claws dancing over my
The Merman, My Man Chapter 267: The Scale’s Protection
The outermost layer of my hazmat suit couldn’t stop Dicken at all. The tentacles crawled under it with relative ease, but when they were about to breach the final layer and reach my skin, blue light suddenly erupted out of my trouser pocket. My thigh heated up for a moment, and the tentacles immediately stopped molesting me as if something had stopped them before gradually retreating out of my clothing. However, the force which had been coiling around me also faded, and my body instantly resumed free fall!Even before I could cry out in surprise, I fell into the water in the next instant, my body consumed immediately by a chill to the bone. Thankfully, I didn’t drown thanks to the oxygen mask, and as I looked around with my night vision, I immediately noticed a tremendous shadow underwater. It looked like a giant spindle, lying peacefully in the depths with magnificence and beauty. I immediately realized that it was the submarine Gary had been talking about. Heavens, it really d
The Merman, My Man Chapter 268: You Can Do it
Dicken narrowed his eyes and pointed behind me, and I turned to see that he was pointing at the control room of the submarine. I could see through the massive and sturdy glass wall that there was a radiant blue opening, though there were countless mutated merfolk occupying it as well.The sight left me shuddering and exclaiming in shock, “What are you saying? That I have to go into the portal alone? What about you, Dicken? Why can’t you come with me?”“My corruption is too severe, and I’ll corrupt the Nest even if I could return to the home realm through the portal—destroying you and what remains of my people.” Dicken hung his head and grasped my hand which was still holding the scale, kissing it. My heart felt tickled as his breath sprayed over my skin, and my nose turned runny.Dicken must have suffered horrors when he was trapped in the portal, to the point that his originally robust body was completely corrupted. There was no way for him to control himself, and he had to endure
