Chapter 27
Estrus?
The difference between s-5 and other mermaids is that Blake, her destined mate, is also in the institute.
Boyce speculated about this. Could this be the factor that promotes s-5 to enter estrus?
Before Black entered the institute, the breeder of the s-5 was Kane.
Because I haven’t read Kane’s record before, Boyce hasn’t returned it yet, and I can just turn it over now.
Boyce turned to the second half of the record based on the time before Black entered the institute to replace Kane.
Boyce found that s-5 did not have estrus originally, but in the spring that Black entered the institute, s-5 began to change.
“She became agitated, like she was looking for something…” Kane wrote.
“She was trying to get a response from me…”
“She’s a bit irritable and irritable now, and I was dragged into the pool by her again. But she didn’t seem to have any intention of hurting me…”
Boyce sighed when he saw this. With the arrival of the estrus period, the mermaid who was not comforted by his partner became more and more anxious…
Boyce is increasingly certain that Black may have induced the s-5 estrus speculation, if this is true…
Boyce suddenly remembered another mermaid in the research institute, in the next spring, will Garcia be induced to go into estrus because of his own reasons…
Thinking of this, Boyce was a little embarrassed for a while, and it was a little unnatural when he went to feed Garcia.
But there is always an answer to this question, and it is better to ask the mermaid than to make boundless guesses.
…
Garcia saw Boyce staring at her food a little absently, and subconsciously handed her food to Boyce.
Sharing food is something only a partner can do among mermaids.
But because humans prefer cooked food, Garcia has not tried to share his food with him.
But this does not mean that mermaids are not keen on this kind of behavior, declaring sovereignty is almost the instinct of most creatures.
Now, seeing Boyce staring at his food, Garcia almost instinctively handed the food to him, with a hint of eagerness in his eyes.
Just like some animals will leave their scent in the territory to show sovereignty, for mermaids, sharing food with each other is also a way to declare sovereignty.
This is one of the reasons Garcia cares that Boyce is feeding another merman, even if the food being fed is provided by the research institute and not owned by Boyce.
Garcia knew that humans preferred cooked food, but he didn’t quite understand it.
He has never been in contact with humans before. As a species that lives in water all year round, mermaids are instinctively resistant to fire. Garcia’s only knowledge of cooked food comes from the grilled fish he has tried.
The cooked fish has a bitter taste, mixed with a fishy smell, and the fish loses its smooth and tender taste and becomes soft.
This made Garcia insensitive to cooked food, and even less interested in human food.
Boyce suddenly had a piece of fish in front of him, stunned for a moment, and glanced at Garcia, almost instinctively rejecting his attempt to share food with him.
Garcia was a little disappointed and took back the fish in front of Boyce.
“Why do you humans like cooked food?”
“Is cooked food comparable to fresh fish?” Garcia asked genuine doubts, still with a hint of unwillingness, trying to share his food.
Garcia believes that although the fish provided by the institute is not as fresh and delicious as the fish that Garcia himself hunts in the deep sea, Garcia believes that these should be better than human food.
However, if the human in front of him shared the food with him, he would still accept it, Garcia thought.
But Boyce apparently doesn’t think so.
“Eating cooked food is a human habit.”
Boyce felt he should explain: “Human food shouldn’t be as bad as you think.”
He guessed that Garcia’s one-sided understanding of human food should be related to his lack of contact with him before.
Boyce inadvertently touched the edge of his pocket with his right hand and felt a hard object, a piece of chocolate previously distributed by others.
He took the chocolate out of his pocket, and Garcia’s eyes followed his movements and landed on the piece of paper in his palm that was a little bigger than his fingers and wrapped in paper.
“Do you want to try human food?” Boyce said suddenly.
Garcia tasted the hidden meaning in his words, his eyes lit up, staring at Boyce’s palm, this is human food…
Moreover, it is not the food provided by the research institute, but the food belonging to Boyce.
For some reason, Boyce, who had been trying to break away from his partnership with Garcia, had a vague thought in his heart, and he seemed to be asking an inappropriate question.
However, this thought didn’t stay in his heart for long. He remembered his purpose, looked at Garcia, and said tentatively, “I want to ask you a question. In exchange, I can take you to try some human food.”
The tip of the merman’s curled tail suddenly straightened with excitement.
He restrained his emotions a little, and his voice was a little hoarse: “What do you want to ask?”
Boyce remembered his own problem, his earlobes were a little hot, and there was a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.
“Are you going to be in heat?”
The mermaid’s tail clapped on the elevator platform. He looked at Boyce, and a thought came up in his heart, which was quickly rejected by him: He asked this question because he wanted to spend his estrus with me?
Boyce stared at Garcia subconsciously, hoping his answer was no, however, Garcia nodded.
“As soon as I met you.”
There was a hint of hint in Garcia’s words: “It will only exist for you.”
The mermaid looked over with a hint of anticipation. Boyce subconsciously looked away, forgetting what else he wanted to ask. After placing the chocolate in the mermaid’s palm, he left the breeding room in a panic.
…
Boyce washed his face with cold water. Mermaids were more straightforward than humans.
This mermaid, who obviously doesn’t have any love for himself, can say words that make people blush.
Next spring…
Boyce counted the time, and suddenly had an idea. Compared to the time when the mermaid was in heat because of himself, it would be better if the mermaid could be sent back to the sea before that…
On the other side, Garcia opened the paper wrapped in chocolate, revealing a small black piece inside, a faint sweet smell poured into the nose, and seemed to have a slight bitter taste, Garcia looked at the black piece , I remembered the black and somewhat bitter fish when I first tried cooked food out of curiosity.
Garcia frowned subconsciously. Maybe humans seem to like this kind of strange food?
But for the merman, the meaning of sharing food for the first time was more than the taste of the food, so Garcia put it in his mouth even though he had no hope for the taste of this black thing.
is sweet…
And the light layer of slightly bitter, just right to relieve the sweetness in the mouth.
…
Boyce soon didn’t have time to think about Garcia’s shadowless estrus.
Ivey disappeared the day after the logistics ship arrived. There are many speculations about his disappearance in the institute. The most widely circulated is that he sneaked away when he came by the logistics ship.
Boyce hopes that statement is true.
The research institute also began to investigate the reasons for Ivey’s disappearance. The result of the investigation was that Ivey did not want to stay in the research institute, so he took this opportunity to leave.
Boyce vaguely felt that something was wrong, but before he had time to think about Ivey’s disappearance, Cyril began to urge the progress of the potion.
Aurier took advantage of the logistics ship and asked them to send the new drug to the investors, and the efficacy of the new drug was exactly the same as the new drug that Boyce and the others were researching.
Investors were very satisfied with the effect of the new medicine, and the new news revealed that Olier would take over as the next director of the research institute.
After the news spread, the members of the Cyril group did not look good.
“Do you all know the new drug researched by Aurier and his team?” A few days ago, they were still talking about not knowing what the drug researched by Aurier and his team was, but they found out in a blink of an eye , their medicines overlapped with those of their own team.
It was such a coincidence that Olier and his team had not studied for a few days before they came out with results, which just coincided with the direction of their own team.
“No wonder they were secretive before!” A researcher was a little resentful.
Boyce listened to their discussion and guessed that some insiders Boyce did not have the injustice that the experimental results were stolen, so he did not speak.
“Don’t you have anything to say, Boyce?” one of the researchers asked Boyce.
“Who was Oriel’s medicine for?” Boyce was more concerned about this question.
And, time is running out, and the news of the new drug has to be concealed. Who is the new drug that Oril is experimenting on first?
“I heard that the new medicine was used on the old owner…” The current owner is very satisfied with the effect of the new medicine on the old owner, and before sending the new medicine, Ollil will naturally not forget to use it on people first. experiment.
“Don’t you find that Laurie has been reused by Aurier recently?” Laurie has indeed been taken by Aurier recently. Boyce talked to Matthew about this a few days ago, but he didn’t expect it to be this reason .
“They actually experimented on the human body so early, so they’re not worried about anything going on?” As soon as the speaker’s voice fell, he suddenly remembered that Olier and the others did not conduct enough in vivo experiments in the early stage, but their team had already done a lot. .
“Do we still need to continue?” one of the researchers asked in frustration.
Two groups are doing the same study, and one group has already submitted the results ahead of time. No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t make much sense for the other group to continue the study.
“Wait for Professor Cyril to tell me.” Boyce was silent for a moment, swallowing the truth that came to his mouth.
In the afternoon, Professor Cyril deliberately gathered everyone to hold a meeting because of this incident.
“Although Olier and the others sent the medicine one step ahead, our research in this area is earlier than theirs, and it is not necessarily comparable to them…”
Listening to Professor Cyril’s encouraging words, the members of the group were all excited: “Professor is right!”
Boyce put his hand in his pocket and lowered his eyes. Professor Cyril didn’t mention it, and what Ollier and the others took away was only the formula of Z-III with a major error.
On the way back, Boyce met Laurie.
Because of the new medicine, his eyes were full of pride.
Boyce subconsciously looked around him, because the side effects of z-III were obvious, so the new version of the drug developed later is still waiting for the second stage of the experiment, and has not been tested on humans.
And z-III also no one knows what kind of side effects it will have in the human body.
Boyce still had some impressions of the contents of the drafts. The contents of the missing drafts could mislead people in another direction. According to the time, they should not have had time to discover the defects of the medicine before.
“I heard that you are also working on a new potion?” Probably because he felt that everything was settled, Laurie’s face showed a hint of arrogance, “You are one step too late, we have already sent the new potion.”
After speaking, he seemed to still feel that it was not enough, and continued to speak, with a triumphant tone: “The news of the new drug has been spread by investors, and a customer has already placed a deposit. However, these are none of your business.”
Boyce looked at Laurie without anger, looking at him with a hint of pity in his eyes.
Remembering what Laurie said, the news of the development of the new drug has been spread by investors.
Boyce thought, is this the chance Professor Cyril is waiting for?
Under normal circumstances, the research institute will send people to pick up medicines at the end of each month. Before the new medicines are picked up next month, it is enough for the hidden danger of z-5 to break out completely.
And Ollil, who made such a big mistake, naturally couldn’t continue to be the director of the institute.
As for the successor…
Boyce’s footsteps stopped, and Professor Cyril’s face flashed in his mind.
…
early morning.
A communication suddenly sounded on the special communication channel of the institute.
A trace of incredulity flashed on the face of the person who was connected to the communication, and his voice trembled: “Hello, may I ask who you are…”
A familiar voice sounded on the other side: “It’s me…”
