A night of nightmares made many people obsessed with looking at the land in the distance.
Because in people's subconscious minds, they believe that the monsters hiding under the sea are like ghosts who cannot see the light and can only haunt in the dark.
Therefore, the people who survived the disaster, after being frightened and exhausted, did not feel the harshness of the scorching sun at all, and were full of hope in their hearts.
...As long as we land before night comes and escape from the sea, we can avoid the persecution of those monsters and survive.
People all believe that the cruel predators on the bottom of the sea not only cannot see the light, but also cannot leave the sea.
However, except for Situ Rui, Tong's family and a few people, most people on the "Situ No. 1" had no idea that the ship had lost its course and lost contact with the outside world.
The voyage lasting six or seven hours was just far away from the sea area where his companions were buried and predators appeared.
In fact, 'Situ No. 1' could not find the correct route for a while, and even the sun above its head seemed to be dazzling everywhere.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, Tong Wantian, who had just slept for more than three hours, frowned in his sleep, as if he wanted to wake up, but as if he had passed away from a dream, he only moved his eyes under his eyelids, but did not open them.
Open your eyes.
Su Liuyan had been staying by Tong Wantian's side. When she saw her daughter's restlessness in her sleep, she thought it was what happened last night that frightened Tong Wantian and rubbed her frowning brows worriedly.
Su Liuyan, who has always been casual and frank, looked anxious and worried when he saw Tong Wantian's sad face in his sleep and thought about the current situation of 'Situ No. 1'.
When the incident happened last night, the Tong family was with Situ Rui, so Su Liuyan knew about Ma Xing's anxious report.
If they can't land on land before night falls, they... may die in the sea.
Look, Su Liuyan agrees with everyone. After all, the legends about ships being attacked by monsters mostly happen in the dark night, which has almost become an unspoken rule.
However, God knows that the reason why there is no light in the devil's world is because they like darkness, not because they cannot accept darkness.
Su Liuyan gently rubbed Tong Wantian's furrowed brows, feeling uncomfortable in her heart. Sometimes she was more anxious when she faced danger than when she knew her relatives were also in danger.
What a wonderful three children!
One is smarter than the other, and one is better than the other...
They are still so young, so small...
Are they really going to die in the sea with the old couple?
During the critical moment last night, Tong Wantian blew up the conch and drowned out those bewitching voices... With such a magical thing, Su Liuyan would have doubted Tong Wantian's difference.
But Tong Wantian is her own daughter, and a piece of flesh that fell from her body, no matter how powerful Tong Wantian is, is still human and cannot be torn apart by the claws of predators.
So Su Liuyan was worried, really worried.
If possible, she would be willing to sacrifice her own life for the safety of her three children.
However, in the eyes of predators, they are all food, tempting food.
"Pa!" Suddenly there was a soft sound, and Tong Wantian, who was sleeping, suddenly raised her hand and held Su Liuyan's hand touching her eyebrows.
At the same time, the people who had been waiting outside to watch since dawn showed happy faces.
"Land, look, it's land!" someone shouted, and more people cheered.
Yes, on a vast beach, the sea water is overflowing to the shore in waves, and some shells are washed down and scattered everywhere on the beach.
But when the Situ No. 1 approached, the land and everything on it disappeared instantly like bubbles.
People barely had time to despair before they were stunned by the strangeness that replaced the mirage.
Not far to the left of the cruise ship, there is a large scattered reef protruding out of the sea. There are actually many... people with colorful long hair sitting on the rocks.
...Is this the legendary mermaid?
...Human body and fish tail?
The stories of mermaids are all beautiful, so even the people who had just experienced life and death last night were still more frightened than frightened when they saw the 'mermaid', and they cast curious glances at the sea elves without warning.
The mermaids on the reef don't seem to mind being watched. They are scattered in twos and threes on the edge of the reef, with their beautiful tails swaying gently in the sea water. They look so beautiful.
So many people on the ship began to worry about these sea elves after being shocked.
‘Situ No. 1’ can leave the sea, but the mermaids can’t. They live in the sea, next to those monsters, will they also be cut into pieces and eaten?
However, more people are thinking about how to catch one or two back. Most of them are successful businessmen, and what businessmen are best at is discovering business opportunities.
Therefore, some people suggested not to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, hoping that the "Situ No. 1" could come by and "say hello" to the mermaids, and if possible, invite a few people to board the ship as guests.
Among them, Situ Rui's compassion was the most important.
However, what he saw was not business opportunities.
I was attacked by a cruel underwater monster last night, and today I saw a large number of mermaids basking in the sun. Is this just a coincidence?
If mermaids really expose themselves to the sun so unscrupulously, why are all the stories humans have about mermaids so far just legends?
Various signs seem to indicate that a hidden problem is gradually being exposed.
Perhaps that is the gateway to some unknown realm, such as a world other than humans.
Under Situ Rui's instruction, the 'Situ No. 1' stopped less than a hundred meters away from the reefs. Just as some people were eager to think about how to greet the mermaids without getting close to the sea, the mermaids collectively looked at the cruise ship with the same curious eyes.
people.
The structure of the facial features is the same as that of human beings, but it is even more perfect than human beings. The eyes are the same color as the hair color, and the dazzling color is like a picture of some kind of perfect reverie.
Beautiful, very beautiful, the beauty that shocks people's hearts makes all the people standing on the boat watching seem to have lost their souls.
After a while, those mermaids seemed dissatisfied with people's unreasonable stares, and jumped into the sea one after another, disappearing into the blue water in the blink of an eye.
People all looked at the sea where the mermaid fell into the water with regret, and searched the surrounding sea areas for any surprises that might be left behind.
It's just a pity that apart from the endless sea, there is only that piece of reef.
"What is that?" Suddenly, someone pointed at the reef and exclaimed.
It turned out that behind a large reef, there was a bright golden color that seemed to be looming.
It was clearly a mermaid! And looking at her motionless appearance, she seemed to be injured.
This is exactly how you can get it without any effort after wearing iron shoes and finding nowhere!
Ma Xing took several mercenaries on the cruise ship's spare yacht and quickly rescued the injured mermaid aboard.
Looking from a distance, these mermaids look like elves of the sea.
When I saw it before my eyes, I was shocked and surprised beyond words.
The Sleeping Beauty-like mermaid is, as depicted in the legend, a combination of human upper limbs and fish lower limbs.
The distinct layers of gold all over her body outline her exquisite figure.
The lips with no trace of red on the delicate facial features are the only different color in the whole body, which has the finishing touch.
Her slightly pointed ears give her a bit of elf-like agility.
Her closed eyes traced two thin semi-arc lines on her face, and from those two arcs grew slender and pretty golden eyelashes.
Her long, golden hair, baked by the sun, was loose and loose without any sticky feeling.
The upper body is the same as human beings and has pale golden skin similar to human skin.
And her lower body is a slender fish tail covered with golden scales.
The scales started from half of her towering chest and followed the curve of her figure to the tail at the end.
On the mermaid's back, there were three scars of varying lengths extending from her right shoulder to her left armpit. It looked like she had been soaked in water for a long time, and when the wounds were opened, there was no blood in the pink wounds.
It was these injuries that caused the mermaid to faint!
People pointed at the mermaid's wounds as if remembering the horror of last night, and everyone became a little restless.
"Situ, when will the ship dock?" A shopping mall colleague who had some friendship with Situ Rui was the first to ask. This is what everyone wants to know.
Although there are still nearly eight or nine hours until dark, we are already far away from the sea area that was attacked last night.
But not logging in still makes people panic.
"Before dark!" Situ Rui, who was silent for a moment, finally lied. I hope so!
The mermaid was not breathing when she was rescued. Although it was a bit regretful, even if it was a specimen, it was of great collection value. Precisely because the mermaid had expired, Situ Rui was a little disappointed and also lost his guard.
Put the mermaid into the freezer, and 'Situ No. 1' sets sail again.
Tong Wantian struggled in her dream for a long time, and finally opened her eyes suddenly. She stood up quickly, but stayed there, not knowing what to do.
"Tongtong?..." Seeing her daughter like this, Su Liuyan became even more worried.
There was obviously something important to do, and there was obviously something. However, Tong Wantian felt that there was nothing in her mind. The thought was so strong that it was about to explode, but she could not give her a definite answer.
"Tongtong, what's wrong with you? Don't scare mom!~~" Su Liuyan saw Tong Wantian sitting on the bed, stunned, with fear and confusion in her wide eyes, and she rushed towards Tong Wantian feeling uncomfortable.
Sitting in the sky, holding her shoulders, calling sadly.
Su Liuyan's voice alerted Song Minghai, who was guarding the living room outside the door, and Tong Xiaotian followed him in.
"Sister, sister..." Tong Wanling squeezed into the house from Tong Xiaotian and Song Minghai, jumped to the side of the boat, and grabbed Tong Wantian's hand hanging by her side.
Tong Wantian blinked slowly, then slowly lowered her head to look at the hand being held, and then followed the hand to see Tong Wanling blinking her big eyes. Those eyes seemed to be able to penetrate her soul, just for a moment.
After a while, Tong Wantian felt like she was alive.
She heard Su Liuyan's call next to her and saw Song Minghai and Tong Xiaotian standing in front of her very worriedly.
"I..." Tong Wantian smiled slightly and opened her mouth, but she always felt that something important was stuck on her lips. She couldn't remember what it was, but she was also afraid that she would completely break up those important things by saying something casually.
.
"Sister, get up quickly, let's go outside and look at the sea. The boat will dock in the afternoon, and you won't be able to see it even if you want to." Tong Xiaotian responded to Tong Wantian with a sunny smile, which also changed the atmosphere of the entire guest room.
warmth.
Su Liuyan wiped away her tears, stepped away, looked at Tong Wantian, smiled and scolded: "Lazy girl, if you want to stay in bed and go home, why don't you stay in bed, get up now..."
What happened last night gave people a huge fear of darkness, and sleep seemed to be a bridge to darkness. Su Liuyan didn't want Tong Wantian to be so close to those scary things.
Tong Wantian didn't move, just looked at Su Liuyan with a slight smile, without even blinking, as if she didn't recognize the person all of a sudden.
"Sister, I just caught a mermaid outside...Really, I didn't lie to you, it's a real mermaid...Brother Minghai, right...Sister, get up quickly and take you to see it." Tong Xiaotian winked and joined in.
Under Tong Wantian's slightly questioning eyes, Song Minghai took Tong Wantian's wrist and tried to pull Tong Wantian up.
...Mermaid? Mermaid, mermaid...
Tong Wantian's head was completely filled with these three words. She must, must...
What must be done? Tong Wantian couldn't tell, so he subconsciously let Tong Xiaotian pull him, and hurriedly got out of bed. With Tong Wanling's arms around his knees, he hurriedly walked out.
