Chapter 112: Original Demi-Humans (2/2)

“Lastly, it’s about that one called Yingyu, the fish Demi-Human.” When mentioning Yingyu, Yu Lan’s expression suddenly became serious, which left Shen Cheng a bit confused.

Looking into Shen Cheng’s eyes, Yu Lan explained: “Actually, there were fish Demi-Humans in the world, but they were different from Yingyu. Those fish Demi-Humans might have fish tails but also had human legs.”

Shen Cheng was slightly taken aback.

“Moreover, through our research, we discovered that Yingyu might have lived for hundreds of years!”

In the next moment, the words Yu Lan uttered struck Shen Cheng like a thunderbolt from a clear sky.

“Hundreds… hundreds of years?” Shen Cheng scratched his head, bewildered, thinking about that silly fish who always smiled foolishly whenever she saw him. “Didn’t they say that Demi-Humans have only existed for a short period of less than thirty-three years?”

“That’s right. So, Yingyu should not be the type of Demi-Human we initially defined. Instead, she is an entirely pure being, living on Earth in that form since the beginning—a genuine Mermaid from fairy tales!”

Yu Lan’s tone was more solemn than ever: “This is a significant discovery. Through our research, we found that Yingyu’s genetics can also be used to create a Demi-Human Genetic Agent. Thus, we classified her as—Original Demi-Human!”

Original Demi-Human, huh…

Speaking of which, Yingyu seemed to have no companions, right? Could it be that she had lived alone in that lake for hundreds of years?

Alone, isolated, living in the lake for hundreds of years…

Previously, Shen Cheng had wondered why even Antarctic penguins could speak, but Yingyu could not. Now, everything suddenly became clear in Shen Cheng’s mind.

It must be because she hadn’t communicated with anyone for so long that she had forgotten how to speak…

Perhaps for countless years, she hid in the lake, avoiding humans. But when Shen Cheng went fishing, his unique constitution attracted her out.

Thinking of this, Shen Cheng couldn’t help but feel even more pity for that silly fish.

When Shen Cheng and Liu Su walked out of the Injection room, Shen Cheng was still thinking about Yingyu.

“Shen Cheng? Shen Cheng? Hey… stop zoning out…”

Gradually, Liu Su’s voice brought him back to reality. Turning his head to see Liu Su’s helpless expression, Shen Cheng asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”

“Don’t forget, I said I would teach you how to shoot.” Liu Su suddenly gave a meaningful smile, making Shen Cheng freeze, feeling a chill down his spine.

…

Bio-Scientific Institute, indoor shooting range.

Shao Silin, with squinting eyes, held a military shovel and stood right beside a target, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

“Why did you have to bring me along just to practice shooting?”

“Maybe with you standing next to the target, Shen Cheng will improve his accuracy so as not to hit you!” Liu Su explained to Shao Silin in the distance, then turned to pat Shen Cheng, who was aiming the training gun, on the shoulder, saying softly, “Relax, the gun is loaded with blanks; it won’t hurt him.”

Shen Cheng: “…”

Shen Cheng felt his hand holding the gun tremble slightly.

Come on, with what you just said, I don’t even care if I hit him anymore! What’s the point of having Shao Silin stand there, then?!
