He was truly powerless against Isamara's threats unless he simply turned and walked away, disregarding the lives of the Terrans.
But it's clear that Zhou Si isn't that kind of person; at least for now, Zhou Si would never make such a choice.
"You win. State your demands."
Seeing that Zhou Si finally gave up, Isamara's smile grew even brighter. This time, she would lead the horde to new heights.
"Like I said before, I want you."
"We want you to join the flock and become a part of it. Don't worry, you will be the most special one in the flock. We will not ask you to give everything for the flock like a true kin. The flock can even give up the nutrients on land for you."
Isamara's offer was extremely generous, and Zhou Si seemed to have no choice but to accept it.
"...Okay, I agree to join the main group."
Isamara's eyes lit up, but she immediately heard Zhou Si's next words.
"But this is such a big deal, I should at least inform the parents, is that alright? You can also talk to her for a bit, she has a pretty good personality."
"If that's all there is to it, then of course there's no problem."
Isamara nodded when she heard that it was such a simple request. She had said that Zhou Si would be the most special one in the great group, and there was no reason for her not to grant such a request.
Upon hearing Isamara's words, Zhou Si's lips twitched, seemingly unable to conceal his sadness. He hesitated for a moment before taking out his phone from his pocket and dialing a number.
"Yes, that's her. Why don't you say a few words to her?"
After saying a few words into the phone with a 'gloomy' expression, Zhou Si handed the phone to Isamara.
Isamara took the small terminal Zhou Si handed her, held it to her ear, and then heard a soft girl's voice coming from the terminal.
"You're the cleaning lady Xiao Zhousi recommended, right? I'm quite satisfied. If it's convenient for you, please come to work now."
Before Isamara could react to what was being said on the other end of the phone, her vision began to blur, her thoughts slowed, and she felt as if she had been detached from the world.
When Isamara regained consciousness, Zhou Si in front of her had transformed into a strange silver-haired girl who was looking at her with great satisfaction.
"Welcome~"
Isamara instantly realized she had been tricked, but to her astonishment, she found that she could no longer contact the horde.
Meanwhile, Zhou Si, looking at her phone lying on the beach, could no longer maintain her composure.
"If I have the chance, I definitely want to compete for an Oscar."
Chapter 51 /remake
Isamara's departure stirred up the large group again, but Zhou Si reacted quickly and managed to calm them down before they caused a major disturbance.
'I need to hurry and go see the professor.'
Zhou Si was not a novice after all, and he could only calm these sea creatures down for a short time.
Patting his half-full stomach, Zhou Si unfolded his gun wings again and flew towards the Deep Blue Tree Laboratory.
A few minutes later, Zhou Si arrived outside the gate of the Deep Blue Tree.
At this moment, Ling was leaning against the door that Hai Si had destroyed, holding a wine glass, smelling the aroma in the glass, but he hesitated to drink the wine.
"What are you doing?"
Zhou Si looked at the eldest sister of the Sui family with some curiosity. Was this some kind of "quenching thirst by looking at plums"?
"What fun is it for me to drink alone when this respectable person is not here?"
Do you drink alcohol?
Ling looked at the young man in front of him with admiration in his eyes. One can get a glimpse of a person's age and experience from his behavior.
This stranger, though young, was able to follow his heart and offer help in the face of a disaster that had nothing to do with him, which is truly commendable.
Such a talented young man naturally piqued my interest in getting to know him.
"I do not drink."
Zhou Si shook his head. He had always been averse to alcohol and the like, even though this little bit of alcohol would have no effect on his body now.
Seeing that Zhou Si refused, Ling drank the wine in his glass in one gulp and pointed towards the direction of the laboratory.
"That is indeed a pity, but sticking to one's principles is a good thing."
"The doctor is waiting for you inside. If there's a chance later, he'll take you to my brother's place for a meal. I think you'll like his cooking."
"Definitely next time."
Zhou Sichao cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, but this was not a refusal. The younger brother of the Sui family was a master chef, and he really wanted to try him if he had the chance.
After bidding farewell to Ling, Zhou Si entered the Deep Blue Tree Laboratory.
As soon as he entered, he saw the Doctor standing under the giant tree. She was standing in the same spot where Zhou Si had appeared last time. The gap that Zhou Si had chewed out had been mostly repaired, but the deep blue tree was still as silent as ever.
"Doctor, I'm here."
Zhou Si walked over to the doctor, who was deep in thought and only snapped out of it when Zhou Si approached.
"Sorry, I was a little distracted."
"Are you thinking about something?"
The doctor nodded gently. This time, without the threat of Hai Si, she stood under the Deep Blue Tree and recalled some of her past memories, such as how she had a fairly good relationship with the predecessor of the Sea God, and the real secret hidden beneath this laboratory.
The doctor led Zhou Si to a passageway hidden in a corner of the laboratory.
The deep passage led downwards, and Zhou Si and the doctor walked for an unknown amount of time until a door appeared before them.
This is the experimental hub of the Deep Blue Tree, and the true core of the Deep Sea Laboratory. The first Sea Infants were born here, and the secrets here can even create new ones.
But the purpose of the trip by the doctor and Zhou Si was clearly not for this.
Standing in front of the control panel at the experimental center, the doctor searched for what he wanted on the terminal in front of him.
"found it!"
The doctor spoke with some excitement, and after several tens of minutes, she finally found the document she needed.
This document is the initial version of the Haisi project, which envisions Haisi as a bio-modification device that transforms harsh environments into forms suitable for life.
With all the newborns now dormant, and the only one who could potentially become a newborn being being one of their own, the Doctor is confident that, with this document in hand, he can bring those Sealings who have long since strayed from the 'alleyway' back on track.
"Doctor, the rest is up to you."
Zhou Si patted the doctor on the shoulder, and then walked into the transmission chamber located at the bottom of the experimental center without hesitation.
Looking at Zhou Sichao on the other side of the glass, she gave him a thumbs up. This heavy trust made the doctor's originally nervous hands steady. She entered the instruction codes into the terminal in her hand. Whether she could break the rehearsal of the stone tablet and move towards the real 'perfect' ending depended on now.
As the doctor pressed the last button, the long-dormant pre-civilization laboratory was activated once again. At that moment, Zhou Si in the transmission pod also pushed his sea-transformation progress to one hundred percent and truly connected to the large group.
It's a pity that Isamara won't be able to see this moment (laughs).
Countless sea-borne consciousnesses began to flash through Zhou Si's mind. He immediately focused his mind, trying his best not to lose himself in the onslaught of these consciousnesses.
To Zhou Si's surprise, it seemed as if some force was protecting him; the massive cluster of consciousnesses did not affect him at all and was blocked by an invisible barrier.
"Zhou Si, spread what I sent you in the main group!"
The doctor's voice rang in her ears, and Zhou Si immediately came to her senses. Then, following the doctor's instructions, she spread the 'original code' in the group.
An invisible wave spread from the ground, quickly reaching the entire ocean and even the whole of Terra.
The restless horde quietly calmed down at this moment. The mission etched deep in their genes was reawakened, and the influence of the foolish Agorians on them was wiped away. The horde's anger was finally completely quelled at the end of the year 1099 in the Terra calendar.
All of this is thanks to the existence of Zhou Si from another world, and the efforts of Rhodes Island.
"Dr. Kal'tsit, the tide is out."
On Rhodes Island, Amiya, wearing a black crown, pointed towards the sea. The swarms of sea creatures that had been crowding the shore all retreated at that moment, and the sea creatures finally returned to the sea.
"The doctor and his team succeeded."
Kal'tsit slumped back in her chair with a sigh of relief, gently rubbing her temples. The exhaustion that had been building up since Hai Si came ashore finally erupted at this moment; she had never felt so tired before.
In the Saltwind City front, Elena, who was recuperating, suddenly froze, looking at her hands that were already bleeding from being rubbed raw by the hilt of her sword.
The sea cells in her body seemed to have completely fallen silent at this moment. The constant calls from the deep sea had disappeared, and the little bird could no longer feel the rejection of the other part in its body.
The little bird, sword in hand, walked to the shore of Saltwind City. The sea before him was as always, turbulent, deep, and mysterious. The sound of waves crashing against the rocks and the cries of birds and beasts were all incredibly familiar.
But Elena had a vague feeling that they might have finally achieved that seemingly unattainable victory.
"Teacher, did you see that...?"
Chapter 52 Epilogue (3k)
On December 1, 1099 of the Terra calendar, the Second Great Tranquility came to an end thanks to the efforts of all parties.
The oceans of Terra returned to tranquility, and the Sealings returned to the depths of the sea. If nothing unexpected happens, the people of Terra will never see the Sealings again.
In this incident, apart from Iberia, which was the main battlefield, the biggest losses were suffered by the private soldiers of several Dukes of Victoria. They were caught off guard by the Sea Siege without any knowledge of it, and because they ignored Rhodes Island's intelligence, they did not know much about the Sea Siege.
This resulted in the deaths and injuries of most of the private soldiers, as well as the destruction of two land-based warships.
With nearly half of Iberia's territory occupied, it has now begun post-disaster reconstruction work with the help of Yan and Lateran, and Rhodes Island has naturally joined in.
What? You mean Agor?
Because of the presence of members of the Deep Sea Church among its high-ranking officials, the city of Agor was the first to be hit by this disaster. Agor no longer exists, and the few surviving Agorians have been taken in by the Iberian Tribunal and will officially become members of Iberia from now on.
"Give me a little! Just a tiny bit!"
Inside the Rhodes Island medical department, Dr. Warfarin, the head of the hematology department who was missing a tooth, was pinned to the ground by Ascalon. Her face was flushed as she struggled to escape Ascalon's grip. She looked at Zhou Si, who had just finished dressing, with longing in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou Si, I will report this matter to Kal'tsit."
After returning from the Deep Blue Tree Experiment Center, the doctor was worried about the potential impact on Zhou Si's health, so he arranged for him to have a check-up at the medical department, especially since he had previously consumed a pure Originium raw.
Fortunately, Lao Zhou's body remained as abnormal as ever, and the final test results showed that the Originium could not leave any trace in his body.
Then, just as we just saw, Zhou Si's examination had just finished when Dr. Warfarin, who was deeply attracted by Zhou Si's ancient dragon blood, took a bite out of her.
Then her tooth broke.
"I have no problem."
Zhou Si nodded. Although he wasn't seriously injured, the moment the warfarin bit into him still caused him considerable emotional distress.
He now understands why those monsters were so terrified when he gnawed on them.
Moreover, Zhou Si was quite interested in visiting the famous Rhode Island Bridge University.
To Zhou Si's surprise, before Warfarin was hung on the bridge, another figure had already been hoisted onto the bridge.
The woman in the black hood was suspended in the air by a thin rope, swaying with the Iberian sea breeze. Judging from her expression, she had probably been hanging there for some time.
"When the Doctor was discussing your reward with Dr. Kal'tsit, he made the important statement that 'if all else fails, she can pay nothing, and we can also obtain valuable genetic material.' He was then ordered by Dr. Kal'tsit to hang on the bridge for a day to calm down."
The blue-haired banshee walked up to Zhou Si and explained to him why the Doctor had been hung on the bridge.
After listening, Zhou Si's gaze towards the doctor instantly changed. "I never expected you to be like this, Doctor?"
The blue-haired banshee placed one hand on her chest and bowed to Zhou Si, her face, more beautiful than any woman's, radiating respect.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Hunter. You can call me Logos.”
"...Hello, you can just call me Zhou Si."
Zhou Si's tone was somewhat stiff. He thought it was cool when he said the code name, but now that others were calling him "Mr. Hunter" all the time, he felt like ants were crawling all over him.
"If you don't mind, please accept this."
Logos took out an exquisite key from his pocket, engraved with tiny banshee incantations.
This key can open the door to Rhodes Island's workshop. In addition, it also represents the approval of Amiya and all the elite operators of Rhodes Island. Although they have not spent much time with Zhou Si, they have learned about his actions in this war from other people.
This visitor from afar was undoubtedly one of them, and naturally, he was able to gain their approval.
"The doctor will explain the rest to you."
Finally, I wish you a safe and peaceful journey ahead.
Seeing Zhou Si take the key, Logos left a blessing, then waved his bone pen to lower the Doctor down from the bridge.
The doctor, who had been hanging for two hours, collapsed the moment she touched the ground, but Zhou Si caught her with lightning speed.
"Then I'll take my leave first."
