Chapter 20： "Wow!

"Wow"

Lance was awakened by the coldness on his body.

He sat up all of a sudden, wiped the water off his body, and then glared at the person standing next to him.

Carl coughed slightly, he threw the coconut shell in his arms aside, and muttered:

"Then what, don't fish need water?"

Lance glanced at Carl contemptuously, swept the man aside with his tail, and then looked around.

He does need water, but it's not okay for someone to pour water on him.

He was lying on a simple bed made of a few leaves. Not far away were traces of a campfire. Five meters away, Rose was peeling a coconut while looking at him with complicated eyes.

Lance didn't find Wen Yu, he turned to Carl and asked with puzzled eyes.

"Oh, are you looking for the boss?"

Seeing that Lance didn't attack him, Carl immediately leaned in on his own, and just clicked on his mouth.

"The boss went to spearfishing in the sea. Last night, the boss took you back and scared us. Alas, do you like our boss? The boss is actually quite good. Do you want to consider... "

Lance felt very annoying.

He faced Carl directly and slapped him up.

Carl was taken aback at first, but found that Lance didn't use his claws to scratch him, and his favorability for Lance rose a lot:

"I heard the boss say that your name is Lance. Don't worry, our boss will never be like the prince in "Daughter of the Sea", always abandoning you..."

"Carl."

Suddenly, Rose interjected quietly, "Colon Wen Yu hasn't come back for so long, you'd better go take a look."

Carl just shut up, then he looked at Lance.

Lance looked at the roses on the other side, and at the campfire in the distance, and then neighed at Karl:

"Ai——ka——"

Where's my meal?

Carl's eyes turned strange, he unexpectedly understood Lance's meaning, and then embarrassedly explained:

"I didn't catch many fish yesterday. No, come together in the morning, did the boss go fishing?"

It’s always right to ask someone to come over and take care of breakfast.

Carl thought.

Lance looked at the traces of the campfire over there again, then looked at Carl's eyes, despising him.

Carl: "..."

The red-haired young man stood up, scratched his head, and told Lance:

"I'm going to see the situation of the boss, don't leave~"

Then, Carl took the harpoon and walked to the beach.

After Carl left, Lance stood up and looked in the direction Carl had left. As a result, he saw two men on the coast with their trousers rolled up and spearing fish in the waves.

The fish in the sea is not stupid. The two men have been busy for a long time before they get a fish.

For this, Lance expressed pity.

After he became a mermaid, he had to master the skills to catch fish. Don't let the two of them catch too much fish, they would exhaust themselves first.

After retracting his gaze, Lance looked at Rose again.

Rose is bound by chains, so her task becomes to deal with ingredients.

And now, what she is dealing with is coconut.

Wild coconuts.

If you want to eat it, you must first peel off the thick outer layer and carefully open the hard shell. This is not easy for roses.

"Is your name Lance?"

Suddenly Rose asked nonchalantly, she raised her head and looked at Lance.

Lance was taken aback for a moment and nodded.

"It looks like you have a high IQ."

Rose's tone was still cold, she pretended to ask casually, "Is your mouth better?"

Lance blinked, spit out his tongue, no blood smell, indicating that the wound should be healed.

Rose looked at Lance for a while, she suddenly took out half a bowl made of coconut shells from the rock behind her, and handed it over:

"Eat more fruits...it's a little coconut, and some berries, you can eat some."

Lance thought this man was really strange, but he wanted him to die with a harpoon before, 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, Rose sighed and moved the bowl a little further to Lance. She turned her back to Lance and said,

"I used to think that sea monsters are monsters... now it seems... really only after experiencing it, do you know what the truth is like..."

Rose's tone fell:

"You look a lot like my brother, even your name."

Lance waved his tail. He looked at the coconut shell not far away, and finally couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"Wen Yu and they haven't told you yet."

Rose didn't know that Lance's attitude had softened a lot, and 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, let's go quickly."

"Ya——"

Lance couldn't help asking, why?

"Wen Yu is the most important asset of the apocalyptic laboratory."

The rose explained it as if there was a sharp heart in it,

"He has a tracking chip on his body. The people in the laboratory, even his corpse, are to be recovered... I have repaired the distress device these days. If there is no accident, a rescue team will come soon."

Lance was silent.

Rose's words awakened him from a dream of living in peace with mankind.

He should go now.

He has worked a lot on this group of people.

Now, since they can be rescued, there is no need for them to exist.

But what is going on in human society now?

Why would humans be regarded as "assets"?

Is the moral bottom line so low?

Lance suddenly realized that--

Sea monster, black storm, doomsday, mutation, experimental body.

Connecting these words, mankind really will not be extinct, right?

Rose turned her head and saw Lance's thoughtful look. She couldn't help putting down her work and sighed.

Nature is so amazing that it can create such a species.

She also couldn't tell whether she repelled or loved Lance, but she didn't want to owe Lance a favor.

Since Wen Yu didn't want to say these things, then she should be the villain.

Only next time, Rose can't guarantee that she will be as kind as she is now.

Lance was a little frustrated.

He gave up on himself, stepped forward and picked up the half of the coconut shell, then swept away the fruit inside.

He is really busy now, and it is really too delayed here.

According to Lance's plan, he should be in Sunset Bay by now, but he is still some distance away from Sunset Bay.

If he could find his shipwreck in Sunset Bay, Lance would know what to do next.

And after finishing his own business, he can go to Wencer without burden, and explore the ocean with Wencer.

Maybe Wincer could still teach him how to get ashore.

After eating the fruit, Lance put the coconut shell bowl next to Rose, and then went to the coast.

When Wen Yu and Karl saw Lance coming, they stopped their movements and looked at Lance, their eyes puzzled.

Lance soaked himself in the sea, spreading the scales and fins on his body.

He sighed at the two, then plunged into the sea.

In less than a minute, Wen Yu and Carl saw a string of fierce waves on the sea not far from them, and then several marine fish rushed towards them in a panic.

Carl was stunned. It was the first time he saw this battle.

It was Wen Yu who reacted first, and he quickly picked up the harpoon, preparing to spear the fish.

In the end, they didn't expect that, even so, the two people were in a hurry and found nothing. The fish swept them past, and then flew to the beach just like righteousness.

Two people: "..."

The fish on the beach hit the two big men, and their expressions were blank.

When Rose on the beach saw this scene, she smiled gleefully.

After drove almost a dozen fish to the beach, Lance swam slowly, his long gauze fins brushed Wen Yu's legs, his expression was very awkward.

Wen Yu put down the harpoon, he couldn't help but smile:

"Okay, okay, I see, you did a great job."

To coax the children.

Lance avoided Wen Yu's hand and swam to the side.

Now that there is enough food today, he should have done his best.

Lance didn't communicate much with Wen Yu. He waved at Wen Yu and swam into the distance.

Say goodbye so simply.

The more entangled, the less willing to leave.

Lance knew how Wen Yu looked like Wencer, in the end, he was not Wencer after all, not the black-tailed mermaid.

It's time for him to leave, lest he and the other party sink deeper and deeper.

Wen Yu watched Lance wandering, he was stunned for a moment, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

He thought Lance went to prey, after all, the other party was a mermaid.

What's more, last night, he and Lance's emotions broke through, so he won'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 around to clean up the fish on the beach.

He was going to grill these fish as a gift to Lance.

...

In the evening, the beach.

The three Wen Yu sat around the bonfire. There was a circle of branches beside the bonfire, and each branch was skewered with a grilled fish.

Rose and Carl didn't dare to come out. They carefully gnawed the grilled fish in their hands while secretly looking at Wen Yu's face.

While grilling the fish while exuding murderous aura, their boss is really terrifying.

Wen Yu put the grilled fish on the cleaned leaves and remained silent.

After a long silence, Wen Yu asked the other two people:

"Why did he go?"

This "he" naturally refers to Lance.

After Wen Yu realized that, until the evening, he accepted the fact that Lance had left.

Karl hesitated, how does he know what that mermaid thinks?

"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 this sentence came out, Wen Yu fell into silence again.

On the beach at night, for a while, there was only the sound of firewood "cracking" in the campfire.

Wen Yu didn't continue to say anything. 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 reached the southeast corner of the island.

He walked to the shore and put down the grilled fish and leaves in his hand.

He knew that Lance had left, but emotionally, Wen Yu didn't believe that Lance had left. He brought the grilled fish here, luckily wanting to run into Lance.

However, until the tide rose again, the sky was white, and there was no trace of the white mermaid nearby.

The grilled fish placed on the beach was taken away by the sea, and nothing was left.

Wen Yu pursed his lips. He stared at the grilled fish on the beach, his face becoming paler.

Want to see that white mermaid, even if it costs a huge price.

Any price is fine.

Wen Yu emptied his brain, just thinking about this sentence in his mind over and over.

After staying up all night, Wencer, who was not in good physical condition, looked in a trance.

He raised his head to look at the distant sky, half black, and generally white, his thoughts gradually drifting away, and the whole person fell into a very magical state——

His whole person was light and fluttering, as if he had flew far away, and he seemed to be dead.

"come here……"

In Wen Yu's half-dream and half-awake, as if someone heard Wen Yu's prayer, a voice suddenly appeared, and it called out.

"Who?"

Wen Yu was taken aback, and he came back to his senses. In the night breeze, he seemed to hear some whispers.

He raised his head and looked around, but saw nothing.

Could it be an illusion?

Wen Yu rubbed his temples, a little upset.

This is not the first time a hallucination is heard.

"Go... here... go..."

The ethereal voice sounded again, as if it didn't exist, and it seemed to be everywhere, whispering in Wen Yu's ear.

In an instant, several fragmentary pictures flashed before Wen Yu's eyes——

In the picture, he seemed to be in the sea, with a white mermaid swimming in front of him, with a flashing blue flame in the background.

The white mermaid swims in the blue flames, cozy and elegant, just like an elf swimming in the galaxy.

Wen Yu watched the white mermaid in his field of vision get farther and farther away from him, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to catch it.

However, it was originally an illusion, what could he catch?

With Wen Yu moving like this, the illusion in front of him suddenly disappeared.

"Here... come... we... see him..."

The voice was intermittent, and finally got closer and closer, even as if it came from Wen Yu's chest.

what is that?

Wen Yu wasn't afraid at all, his expression trembled upon hearing this auditory hallucination.

After the illusion in front of him disappeared, he stood up, like a puppet, and walked in the direction of the sound.

He gradually entered the small island forest. After walking a few turns, Wen Yu saw a cave.

The cave is deep in the island, and it's dark inside, without a trace of light.

"Come in... quickly..."

The devil whispered inside, something was swimming in it, and there was a rustling soft noise.

Wen Yu stopped hesitating and walked in.

"You... are... I..."

"we……"

"He...is...we..."

In the darkness, the cave was whispering constantly, remote and ethereal, no one knew what was going on inside.

...

The next morning, Rose and Carl waited until Wen Yu.

"Boss, are you okay?"

Carl couldn't help stepping forward.

Wen Yu didn't come back last night. Carl worried about Wen Yu all night, but because he knew how many catties he was, Carl didn't dare to look for Wen Yu at night.

"It's okay."

Wen Yu smiled at Carl. It seemed that his spirit was very good, and the sickness on his face was much less.

"I'm very good."

"Boss, you..."

Carl looked at the sympathy, then hesitated.

I don't know if it was his illusion. He felt that Wen Yu's eyes seemed to have turned into pure black.

Is the color of the boss's pupils so dark?

Carl thought about the question suspiciously.
