Chapter 45：

Because Wen Yu still had something to do, Wen Yu asked Carl a few words, after teaching Carl how to arrange Lance, he went offline.

Lance pretended to be dead all the way, buried his head in the basin, and gurgled bubbles to play.

After Carl was taught by Wen Yu, he turned his head and saw Lance lying still like a salted fish. He couldn't help but twitched his mouth.

It has been soaked for so long, and the dried fish are soaked into live fish. Why is Lance still half-dead?

"Okay, stop playing, let's go to the bathtub in the villa."

Carl walked over and tried to hug Lance's waist. He wanted to carry Lance up.

And at the moment Carl came up to touch, Lance felt that the only soft spot on his body was touched by Carl. He shivered, and immediately lifted his head from the basin and "stabs" it, like a loach, from Carl Wyri slipped out, then slipped aside, watching Carl's every move warily.

That flexible and quick look does not seem to be dying of lack of water at all.

Carl blinked slowly, and then realized that he might have been tricked by Lance.

Seeing that Carl's expression was ill, Lance immediately wandered to the glass door of the villa, and in the blink of an eye, he leaned on the glass door of the villa, pretending to be weak, and screaming softly.

He wanted to use his actions to fool Karl before Karl smacking his taste, to prove that his agility just now was a flashback.

He didn't pretend it, eh.

Carl scratched his head, leaving the doubt behind his head for a while, he walked over, stood beside Lance, and pressed the number twice against the code lock.

Afterwards, Carl stopped. He looked at Lance, who was leaning on the glass door as a salted fish, with a hesitant expression:

"Are you literate?"

In response, Lance smiled at Carl.

Play stupid.

"A mermaid is a fish no matter what, the fish should not be able to read."

Carl muttered to himself, seemingly Wen Yu didn't tell him everything about Lance.

After the muttering, Karl seemed to be persuaded by his own explanation, so he didn't deliberately block Lance, and entered the remaining two numbers in front of Lance.

Lance stared intently, and secretly wrote down all the numbers.

He is not stupid. If he cringes and peeping at this time, it will make Carl suspect. In that case, it is better to look upright.

After entering the code, the code lock rang "boom", and then the glass door that Lance was leaning on opened slowly.

Without waiting for Karl to say anything, Lance watched the glass door open with a look of excitement, and then jumped in.

"Lance!"

Seeing Lance suddenly jumped in, Carl was shocked. His current state of mind was particularly like letting a wild cat in, for fear that the wild cat would make big moves in the villa, such as smashing things.

Fortunately, Lance did not jump up and down in the living room. After entering the villa, he first touched the soft carpet on the ground with curiosity, then raised his head and looked towards the second floor.

There are two floors in the villa. The first floor is the living room and kitchen, and the second floor is where you sleep.

"Yes, yes, let's go to the bathroom on the second floor."

When Karl saw that Lance did not jump up and down, he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. He hurriedly walked to Lance, pushed Lance with his hand, and asked Lance to follow him upstairs, for fear that Lance would return in the next second, and then staged a full-scale martial arts in the living room. .

Indeed, as Lance had guessed, there was a gentle bedroom on the second floor.

However, because it was not long before the villa was bought, Wen Yu did not rest in the villa several times.

And there is a bathroom on the second floor, the bathtub inside is very big, it can definitely fill a whole mermaid.

This was Wen Yu specifically told Karl to let Karl take Lance over.

Hearing Karl ask him to go to the bathroom, Lance nodded, indicating that he knew.

There is really nothing he wants in the living room, so it's better to go to the second floor to have a look.

then. He came to the top of the stairs and looked at these stairs in silence.

Carl followed Lance, he walked to the top of the stairs, looked at the stairs, and was silent.

Uh, how did the mermaid go upstairs?

Do you need someone to carry it up?

Carl saw Lance's face in trouble. He tentatively reached out to Lance, trying to hug Lance, but Lance slapped him mercilessly.

Carl: "..."

In the sight of Carl's accusation, Lance supported himself with his hands, dragged his tail, bit by bit, dragged the long tail up with the strength of his upper limbs.

Although he trusts metaphors and Karl, the things captured by humans still bring him a lot of psychological shadow. He rejects human close contact with him. Instead of letting Karl hug him, he should work hard and climb up. .

Hey, I'm exhausted.

Lance now particularly understands why the Little Mermaid had to replace the tail with legs. Humans have evolved legs, which is really a wise choice.

I want to be in Reims

When he managed to go upstairs, Karl followed Lance and watched Lance work hard.

He thought sadly, Lance didn't seem to like him very much, and refused to have close contact with him every time. Why?

Five minutes later, Lance and Carl reached the bathroom on the second floor.

There is a very large jacuzzi in the bathroom. The cabinet next to it contains various essential oils and props for certain exercises. At first glance, you know that this bathtub is designed for mandarin ducks to play in the water.

Or multiplayer sports.

Carl flushed, imagining how to avoid Lance from moving those things that are not suitable for children. When Lance cheered, he jumped into the bathtub, lay down in the bathtub, and took a pose. , Looking at Carl as an uncle.

Carl:? ? ?

After a few seconds, Carl realized that Lance was asking him to release the water.

Carl: "..."

In that case, Carl resignedly released water to Lance, filling up the entire bathtub.

Lance floated in the water, leaning against the edge of the bathtub, enjoying himself.

He also found the massage switch very stubbornly, so now, with the accompaniment of the "grumbling" massage in the jacuzzi, Lance looked drunk and dreaming, lying in the bathtub enjoying the massage.

The only shortcoming is that Lance can't take a bubble bath now.

It is really a waste of no essential oils and bubbles in the jacuzzi.

"What a little ancestor."

Carl finally stopped after he was busy. He looked at Lance who was enjoying, his tone was a bit sour, but he just talked about it.

He didn't know where to take out a little yellow duck. In front of Lance, Karl put the little yellow duck on the water and said to Lance:

"You play here by yourself. Don't run around. I'll clean your pool."

The other marine fish in the swimming pool were not amphibious like Lance. There was no water for one night, and all the marine fishes were almost extinct.

Most of the marine fish lying in the dried-up swimming pool are carcasses. If you don't treat them, they might smell bad.

In order to prevent Lance from getting sick, Carl had to prepare to clean the pool first, then fill the pool with water, and then take Lance back when the pool is full.

Hearing this, Lance waved to Carl while shaking happily with the jacuzzi, showing no signs of discomfort.

When Karl saw that Lance was adjusting well, he sighed and finally turned and left.

As a nanny, this is really a long way to go.

I really want to beat Lance.

…

After Carl left, Lance immediately came out of the bathtub. He lay on the bathroom window with a serious face, watching Carl walk out of the villa with a bunch of cleaning tools and start to work;

After making sure that Carl was busy for at least an hour or two, Lance breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pulled a clean bath towel from the side to dry his tail and water marks on his body.

After doing all this and making sure that there would be no traces of his movement on the floor, Lance walked to the bathroom door and quietly opened the bathroom door.

All this was calculated by him.

After Carl was dismissed, he was the only one left in the entire villa.

Now Lance has plenty of time to explore this villa and find out if there is anything online.

Lance still remembered that on his way to the bathroom, he happened to pass a study and a bedroom.

According to normal conditions, there are definitely computers in these two rooms.

After confirming the destination, Lance started to head there.

He first touched the study room. Unfortunately, the study room was locked and Lance couldn't open it, so he had to give up.

Lance turned to attack the bedroom.

The door of the bedroom opened as soon as he pushed it, and Lance probed in and found that, as expected, there was still a computer on the desk in the bedroom.

Lance breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly slipped over, turning on the Internet in one go.

This computer looks very new, Lance guessed that Wen Yu had never opened the computer at all.

But all this is not the point. Lance quickly opened the browser and tried to search for the name "Lance" with the "Queen Mary" number after the name. As a result, as expected, a bunch of news from the time popped up on the web page.

However, the point of the news was not that the Queen Mary was sunk, but that the sea monster appeared on the surface for the first time.

Compared with the appearance of the sea monster, the matter of Queen Mary is nothing.

When Lance tried to search the list of victims of the Queen Mary, he unexpectedly found that he couldn't find it at all.

This seems to be an extremely sensitive matter, even though he is currently using the computer's authority, he still can't find anything.

Lance turned to try to distinguish from this information, how many years he had become a mermaid.

After the doomsday came, human society changed the way of chronology again, Lance worked for a while before vaguely calculating that more than 50 years had passed since the shipwreck of the Queen Mary.

The result of this calculation made Lance frown.

Did he sleep under the sea for more than 50 years

? He suddenly couldn't imagine how old he was.

For more than 50 years, coupled with the arrival of the doomsday and the invasion of the virus, Lance realized in a daze that all the people and things that he was familiar with when he was still a human have really turned into dust in the long river of time.

He came from fifty years ago.

From the bottom of the sea.

It's really incompatible with the current world.

After being depressed for a while, Lance regained his spirits. He decided that since the past is over, he should not indulge in the emptiness of the past, but should pay attention to the future—

Carry out your plan, that is, return to the sea.

Since all the original thoughts on the mainland are really gone, he really might as well go back to the ocean.

Lance started searching on the web page, trying to figure out where it was—

How did you find it?

Lance searched directly based on the map name of a certain big brand in his memory, but to Lance's surprise, he was ready for that big brand to fail, but he didn't expect that brand was still there.

What made Lance even more pleasantly surprised was that the network connected to this villa was an intranet, and some special permissions turned out to be open. This allowed him to directly use the computer to locate the location successfully when he searched for his location.

Lance actually came up with a map to look at it.

According to the map on the screen and the small red dot that represents Lance's current location, Lance is now in the family area in the inner city.

Looking at various maps with the mouse and keyboard, Lance couldn't help taking a breath.

According to the information searched on the computer, the world map has undergone major changes:

From the perspective of the world, the continents in Lance's memory have shrunk by at least half.

Several islands, even a small continent that was alone in the ocean, were directly swallowed by the sea.

From the top of the earth model, the earth is basically blue.

If the angle is narrowed a bit, from a human point of view, the place where Lance is now staying is a federation close to the ocean.

The Confederation was built with high walls to clearly demarcate the ocean and the place where humans live and live.

In order to resist sea monsters, the outermost layer of the Federation is the army, followed by the living quarters, and the central part is the government army command area.

In the living quarters, humans are divided into three, six or nine classes—

Slums and rich areas.

Where Lance is now, look at the decoration of the villa and you will know that this is a military district located in the rich district.

This one…

Has he finally become a privileged class?

Lance couldn't help holding his face, thinking about this question, but at the same time, he frowned and looked at the distance from his little red dot on the map to the edge of the sea—

Very good, at least thirty kilometers.

Within these thirty kilometers, he has to pass several passes and pass through the slums. Isn't this killing him?

Lance instantly rejected his idea of ​​"going". It seemed that he could only find a way to get the courier to "mail" him back.

Lance clicks to open the courier to place an order...

It turns out that I don't have an account.

Um, you have to deal with Carl.

Lance anxiously closed all windows, and tried his best to erase his browsing history, and began to think about how to make Karl "willing" give him his account.

How about letting Carl log in once on the computer?

Lance turned off the computer and sighed, feeling that he had a long way to go.

Now let's go back to the bathroom first. After so long, I guess Carl should come and take a look.

As he turned around, Lance suddenly saw the bed in the bedroom.

The sheets were black, the bed was clean and tidy, the soft and fluffy pillows and the mattresses seemed to have cast a charm on Lance the moment Lance looked over.

I really want to... go to bed.

Lance couldn't help but cocked his tail.

He hasn't slept in bed since he became a mermaid.

I really miss it.
