I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Under normal circumstances, the transformation of the fish tail is controlled by the mermaid's own will.

Unconscious transitions during coma mean that all body indicators are in an extremely unstable state.

Qi Yan is in her growth period, if that were all, then it could be explained.

But this time he turned directly into a young boy. Judging from the mermaid's age, he should have turned into a child.

Mermaids have a long lifespan, so their growth rate is very slow, and their larval period takes up a very long period.

Compared with the normal growth rate, Qi Yan's situation is already abnormal.

Aled had speculated that he might suddenly grow up one day, but he had never expected the gap between human and mermaid forms to be so huge.

This situation was difficult for Alaid to explain for a while. He could only infer that in addition to being affected by being forced to break out of the shell, it should also be related to Qi Yan's previous living environment.

Now that I think about it, the appearance of a mermaid egg out of nowhere is very unreasonable.

"Did you search the place where you found Yanyan carefully? Since mermaid eggs appeared, it is impossible that there were no mermaids. Mermaids will not abandon their children." Alaid asked.

Huo Linyuan knew what he meant, but it was a pity that there would never be another natural mermaid in the world.

"When Yanyan was still an egg, she was frozen for tens of thousands of years." Huo Linyuan said.

After picking up Qi Yan, they conducted a detailed investigation of Hengtan Star, but found nothing.

But later, Huo Linyuan detected a substance that only existed tens of thousands of years ago in the gel that wrapped Qi Yan at the time.

After simulation and restoration, it was finally determined that this substance had been frozen for tens of thousands of years.

Normally, something that has been frozen for tens of thousands of years would not be able to survive even if it thawed. Huo Linyuan also found it incredible at first.

It was not until Qi Yan confessed to him that he realized that it was probably because of his Yan Yan's arrival that the egg came back to life.

When Aled heard what he said, his first reaction was that it was impossible.

In the early years, before humans invented jump technology, space exploration relied on freezing technology.

However, because this technology is extremely harmful to the human body and even causes genetic mutations, resulting in a significant decrease in population, it was later banned.

Although current freezing technology is much more mature than before, it is still impossible to revive organisms that have been frozen for tens of thousands of years.

Just like you can't bring the dead back to life.

However, no matter how unbelievable Alaid was, Huo Linyuan had no intention of telling him Qi Yan's true origins.

Fortunately, Aled did not dwell on this issue too much. He sent the test data to Huo Linyuan through the terminal, and then said:

"I can't tell what's going on with Yanyan right now. We can only observe. Since he has already transformed into a pair of legs, he may change at any time in the future. You have to pay more attention to him on a daily basis."

"Ah."

-

in the room.

During the time that Huo Linyuan and Alaid were talking, Qi Yan had already produced two large basins of purified water.

Only then did he realize that the two seemed to have been gone for a long time, so he looked towards the door from time to time.

After putting the purified water into the container, Qi Yan controlled the small tentacles to refill the basin with clean water.

Just as he was about to start making the third basin of water, Huo Linyuan walked in.

Huo Linyuan walked over to sit next to him and naturally combed his hair: "Are you tired?"

Qi Yan shook her head: "I think we can finish yesterday's workload this morning."

Huo Linyuan nodded his head: "Don't be stubborn."

Qi Yan made a face at him, then immersed herself in the basin of water in front of her.

With Huo Linyuan by his side, his concentration was obviously improved a lot, and he could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

In just one morning, Qi Yan made twenty pots, twice as many as yesterday. During this time, Huo Linyuan surprisingly did not interrupt him.

Until Aled called a halt: "That's enough for today. The dosage will be gradually reduced in the future. There's no need to rush now."

Qi Yan was still a little unsatisfied. He felt as if he had mastered the trick and was becoming more and more adept at communicating with water. He even felt that he could control the flow of water.

Huo Linyuan saw the changes in Qi Yan.

Because his control over mental power was higher than others, he could see Qi Yan's progress at a glance.

Just as Huo Linyuan can use his spiritual realm to directly put pressure on people, Qi Yan's spiritual power can control the water element.

Huo Linyuan knew this the first time water droplets formed on the eggshell.

It was precisely because of this that he did not stop Qi Yan this time.

In the afternoon, Wen Yi returned to the base with the last group of survivors.

There was some delay as blood was collected from everyone and purification agents were distributed before departure.

Now all the survivors have taken the purifier, and considering Huo Linyuan's arrangements for the garrison, Alaid directly distributed the concentrated solution of purified water to the garrison.

So at this time all the garrisons had fully recovered.

The original control room of the administrative building was used by Huo Linyuan as a temporary office area.

After Wen Yi reported the situation of the survivors, he continued, "Sonatu seems to have found some clues about the person who released the activated cells, and he is bringing the person here now."

After a while, Sonatu came in with Cheng Gang.

Cheng Gang was extremely excited when he found out that the person who saved them that day was the Marshal.

He never thought that he would be able to see the real marshal with his own eyes in his lifetime.

At this moment, his chest was held higher than ever.

When he heard Sonato asking him to report the situation, he subconsciously raised his voice.

"Reporting to the Marshal, before the base was breached, I discovered that a person was behaving abnormally."

Huo Linyuan tapped the table and reminded, "Don't be so reserved."

"Yes." Cheng Gang's face flushed red, not because he was embarrassed by his embarrassing performance, but because of the excitement of "I am talking to the interstellar marshal."

There were a few soldiers who did not admire Huo Linyuan. Especially for soldiers from remote areas like them, many of them regarded Huo Linyuan as their lifelong idol.

But no matter how excited he was, Cheng Gang did not dare to neglect his business.

After organizing his words, he continued, "I discovered that Abel, the deputy captain of the third squad of the defense team, had frequent contact with the reservoir. On the day the base was breached, I saw him put an unknown object into the reservoir."

"My subordinates wanted to capture him, but he escaped in the end. Later, the base was breached and I forgot about it because we had to evacuate the survivors."

After all, at that time, you might die at the next moment, so even if you have doubts, you have no time to take them into consideration.

Until the day he was rescued by Huo Linyuan and Wen Yi, he saw someone driving away, and later remembered that person was Abel.

It happened that this morning, Sonata came to them to collect clues, and Cheng suddenly remembered this matter.

Cheng Gang was once the captain of the fourth squad of the defense team. Since he often teamed up with the third squad to hunt monsters, he was somewhat familiar with Abel.

Abel is a man of few words and not very close to others. In addition, he is very utilitarian, so he is not very popular.

After he mentioned this, Huo Linyuan finally remembered this person.

He knew from the beginning that Abel was lying, and the reason he brought him to the concentration city was mainly to see when his true nature would be revealed.

So Huo Linyuan immediately ordered: "Send Abel's photo to each team member and inform them to keep an eye out while clearing out the monsters."

After being scratched, the infected person will mutate within a very short period of time. On that day, Abel was scratched, but he did not mutate on the spot.

Later, they did not find the combat vehicle nearby, so it is highly likely that Abel did not mutate.

In the entire Helka, there is only one survivor who will not mutate, and that is the person who released the activated cells.

So no matter whether what Cheng Gang said is true or not, Abel is the biggest suspect.

And this person is very important to them.
