"crash"
Lance was awakened by a burst of coldness on his body.
He sat up all of a sudden, wiped the sea water off his body, and then glared at the person standing beside him.
Carl coughed lightly, he threw aside the coconut shell in his arms, and muttered:
"Then what, don't fish need water?"
Lance shot Karl a contemptuous look, brushed him aside with his tail, and looked around.
He does need water, but it doesn't mean that others can pour water all over his body.
He was lying on a simple bed made of a few leaves, not far away were traces of a bonfire, and five meters away from him, Rose was peeling a coconut while looking at him with complicated eyes.
Lance couldn't find Wen Yu, so he turned to Karl and asked with puzzled eyes.
"Oh, are you looking for the boss?"
Seeing that Lance didn't attack him, Karl immediately approached him in a familiar way, and he just opened his mouth.
"Boss, he went fishing in the sea. Last night, the boss took you back, which really shocked us. Hey, do you like our boss? Boss is actually pretty good, do you want to consider..."
Lance was annoyed.
He slapped Carl directly and fooled him.
Carl was taken aback at first, but found that Lance didn't scratch him with his claws, and his favorability with Lance immediately increased a lot:
"I heard from the boss that your name is Lance. Don't worry, our boss will never abandon you like the prince in "The Daughter of the Sea"..."
"Carl."
Rose suddenly interjected calmly, "Colonel Wen Yu hasn't come back for so long, you'd better go and have a look."
Carl just shut up, and then he looked at Lance.
Lance looked at the roses on the other side, and at the bonfire in the distance, and then neighed at Carl:
"ai—ka—"
What about my meal
Carl's eyes became strange, he unexpectedly understood Lance's meaning, and then explained embarrassingly:
"I didn't catch a lot of fish yesterday. No, did the boss go fishing when we woke up in the morning?"
It's always right to invite someone to come over as a guest and have a breakfast.
Carl thought.
Lance looked at the traces of the bonfire over there again, and then looked at Carl's eyes with contempt.
Carl: "..."
The red-haired young man stood up, scratched his head, and told Lance:
"I'm going to check on the situation of the boss, don't go~"
Then Carl picked up the harpoon and walked towards the sea.
After Carl left, Lance stood up and looked in the direction Carl left, only to see two men with their trousers rolled up on the shore, spearing fish in the waves.
And the fish in the sea are not stupid, the two men worked hard for a long time before they got one fish.
Lance took pity on this.
After he became a mermaid, he had to master the skills to catch fish. The two of them should not catch too many fish, and exhaust themselves to death first.
After withdrawing his gaze, Lance looked at Rose again.
Rose is bound by iron chains, so her task becomes to handle the ingredients.
And now, she's dealing with coconuts.
wild coconut.
If you want to eat it, you have to peel off the thick outer layer and carefully open the hard shell, which is not easy for roses.
"Is your name Lance?"
Rose suddenly asked abruptly, she raised her head and looked at Lance.
Lance froze for a moment, then nodded.
"It looks like you have a pretty high IQ."
Rose's tone was still cold, she pretended to ask casually, "Is your mouth feeling better?"
Lance blinked and stuck out his tongue, but he didn't feel the smell of blood anymore, which meant that the wound should have healed.
Rose looked at Lance for a while, then she suddenly awkwardly took out half a bowl made of coconut shell from the rock behind her, and handed it over:
"Eat more fruit and the like... There are some coconuts in it, and some berries, you can eat some."
Lance felt that this man was really strange. Before, he directly wanted him to die with a harpoon gun, but now his attitude has changed a hundred and eighty degrees.
"Don't worry, it's not poisonous."
Seeing that Lance was unwilling to come over, Rose sighed, moved the bowl a little further towards Lance, turned her back to Lance, and said,
"I used to think that sea monsters were all monsters... Now it seems... Only after experiencing it can I know what the truth is..."
Rose's tone lowered:
"You look a lot like my brother, even your name."
Lance wagged his tail. He looked at the coconut shell not far away, and finally swallowed his saliva.
"Wen Yu and the others haven't told you yet."
Rose didn't know that Lance's attitude had softened a lot, she continued,
"For the sake of saving us, let me tell you, stay away from Wen Yu, and don't be too curious about human beings, just go away."
"ya—"
Lance couldn't help asking, why
"Wen Yu is the most important asset of Doomsday Lab."
Rose explained as if she had a heart-to-heart connection,
"He has a tracking chip on him. The people in the laboratory, even if it is only his body, have to be recovered... I have repaired the emergency device in the past few days. If there is no accident, a rescue team will come soon."
Lance was silent.
Rose's words woke him up from a dream of living in peace with human beings.
He really should go.
He has worked hard on this group.
Now, since they can be rescued, there is no need for their own existence.
But what happened to human society today
Why treat human beings as "assets"
Is the moral bottom line so low
Lance suddenly realized,—
Sea monster, black storm, doomsday, mutation, experimental body.
If these words are connected, human beings will not become extinct, right
Rose turned her head and saw Lance looking thoughtful, she couldn't help but put down what she was doing and sighed.
Nature is really amazing that it can create such a species.
She couldn't tell whether she rejected Lance or loved Lance, but she didn't want to owe Lance a favor.
Since Wen Yu didn't want to say these words, let her be the villain.
It's just that next time, Rose can't guarantee that she will persuade her as well as she is now.
Lance was a little frustrated.
As if giving up on himself, he stepped forward to hold up the half coconut shell, and then swept away the fruit inside.
He is indeed very busy now, and it is really too late here.
According to Lance's plan, he should be in the sunset bay by now, but he is still some distance away from the sunset bay.
If he can find his shipwreck in Sunset Bay, Lance should know what to do next.
And after finishing his own affairs, he can go to Wenser without any burden, and go to explore the ocean with Wenser.
Maybe Winsor could teach him how to get ashore.
After eating the fruit, Lance put the coconut shell bowl next to Rose and went to the coast.
When Wen Yu and Karl saw Lance coming, they all stopped and looked at Lance with puzzled eyes.
Lance soaked himself in the water, spreading his scales and fins.
He sighed at the two of them, then plunged into the water.
In less than a minute, Wen Yu and Karl saw a series of violent waves on the sea not far from them, and then fluttering, several sea fish rushed towards them in a panic.
Carl was stunned, it was the first time he had seen this formation.
It was Wen Yu who reacted first, and he quickly picked up the harpoon, ready to spear the fish.
In the end, I didn't expect that even so, the two of them frantically messed around, but they didn't get anything. The school of fish brushed past them, and then flew to the beach like a sacrifice.
Two people: "..."
The fish on the beach hit the two big men with blank expressions.
When Rose on the beach saw this scene, she gloated and laughed.
After driving almost a dozen fish to the beach, Lance swam over slowly, his long gauze-like fins brushed against Wen Yu's legs, his expression was very sullen.
Wen Yu put down the harpoon, he couldn't help but smile:
"Okay, okay, I see, you did a great job."
Coax the children.
Lance avoided Wen Yu's hand and swam to the side.
Since today's food is enough, he should also do his best.
Lance didn't communicate much with Wen Yu, he waved at Wen Yu and swam away.
Say goodbye as simple as that.
The more entangled, the more unwilling to leave.
Lance knew that no matter how Wen Yu resembled Wenser, in the end, he was not Wenser, not the black-tailed mermaid.
It's time for him to leave, lest he and the other party get deeper and deeper.
Wen Yu watched Lance wandering away helplessly, he was stunned for a moment, and didn't particularly take it to heart.
He thought Lance was hunting, after all, the other party was a mermaid.
What's more, last night, he had a breakthrough in his relationship with Lance, so he wouldn't suddenly abandon him the next day...
Wen Yu felt something was wrong in his heart, but he didn't want to think about it. He comforted himself and turned to clean up the fish on the beach.
He was going to grill the fish as a present for Lance.
…
Evening, beach.
The three of Wen Yu sat around the bonfire. There was a circle of branches beside the bonfire, and a grilled fish was skewered on each branch.
Rose and Carl didn't dare to show their anger. While carefully nibbling on the grilled fish in their hands, they secretly looked at Wen Yu's face.
Grilling fish while exuding murderous aura, their boss is really terrifying.
Wen Yu put the grilled fish on the washed leaves, and then remained silent.
After a long silence, Wen Yu asked the other two:
"Why did he leave?"
This "he" naturally refers to Lance.
Wen Yu realized it later, and didn't accept the fact that Lance had left until night.
Karl hesitated, how did he know what the mermaid thought
"I let him go."
Rose suddenly said, "The rescue team is coming soon, do you want the rescue team to find him?"
As soon as these words came out, Wen Yu fell into silence again.
On the beach at night, for a while, there is only the sound of "crackling" burning firewood in the bonfire.
Wen Yu didn't say anything more. He picked up the grilled fish and walked towards the southeast corner of the island without saying a word.
"Boss?"
"Leave me alone."
Wen Yu said without looking back.
After walking for about ten minutes, Wen Yu arrived at the southeast corner of the island.
He walked to the shore and put down the grilled fish in his hand with the leaves.
He knew that Lance had gone away, but emotionally, Wen Yu didn't believe that Lance had gone away. He brought the grilled fish here, hoping to run into Lance by chance.
However, when the tide rose again, the sky turned pale, and there was no trace of the white mermaid nearby.
The grilled fish placed on the beach was taken away by the sea, and there was nothing left.
Wen Yu pursed his lips, staring blankly at the grilled fish on the beach, his face getting paler.
If you want to see that white mermaid, you can pay a huge price.
Any price will do.
Wen Yu emptied his mind, just thinking about this sentence over and over in his mind.
After not sleeping all night, Wenser, who was not in a good physical condition, became dazed later.
He looked up at the distant sky, half black, half white, his thoughts gradually drifted away, and the whole person fell into a very magical state——
His whole body was light and light, as if he had flown far away, and he seemed to be dead.
"come here… "
In Wen Yu's half-dream and half-awake state, as if someone heard Wen Yu's prayer, a voice suddenly appeared and called out.
"Who?"
Wen Yu was taken aback for a moment, and he came back to his senses. In the night wind, he seemed to hear something whispering.
He raised his head and looked around, but saw nothing.
Could it be an illusion
Wen Yu rubbed his temples, feeling a little upset.
This is not the first time hearing hallucinations.
"Go... this way... go..."
That ethereal voice sounded again, it didn't seem to exist, and it seemed to be everywhere, whispering in Wen Yu's ear.
In an instant, several fragmentary images flashed before Wen Yu's eyes—
In the picture, he seems to be in the sea, a white mermaid swims in front of him, and a blue flame is constantly flickering in the background.
The white mermaid swims comfortably and gracefully in the blue flames, like an elf swimming in the Milky Way.
Wen Yu watched the white mermaid getting farther and farther away from him, and couldn't help reaching out to grab it.
However, it was originally an illusion, what could he catch
Wen Yu made such a move, and the illusion in front of him instantly disappeared.
"This way... come... we... meet him..."
The voice came intermittently, and finally got closer and closer, as if it even came from Wen Yu's chest.
what is that
Wen Yu was not afraid at all. Hearing this auditory hallucination, his expression became dazed.
After the illusion in front of him disappeared, he stood up, like a puppet, and walked towards the direction of the sound.
He gradually entered the small island forest, and after walking a few turns, Wen Yu saw a cave.
The cave was deep in the island, and it was dark inside, with no light at all.
"Come in... quickly..."
The devil was whispering inside, something was swimming inside, and there was a soft rustling sound.
Wen Yu stopped hesitating and walked in.
"You... are... I..."
"us… "
"He... is... we..."
In the darkness, there were constant murmurs in the cave, remote and ethereal, no one knew what happened inside.
…
The next morning, Rose and Carl waited for Wen Yu.
"Boss, are you okay?"
Carl couldn't help but stepped forward.
Wen Yu didn't come back last night, Carl was worried about Wen Yu all night, but because he knew how much he weighed, Carl didn't dare to go to Wen Yu at night.
"fine."
Wen Yu smiled at Carl. It seemed that he was in good spirits, and the sickness on his face was much less.
"I'm very good."
"Boss, you..."
Carl looked at Wen Yu for a while, but hesitated to speak.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that Wen Yu's pupils and eyes seemed to have turned pure black.
Are the boss's pupils so dark
Carl wondered about this question.
