Chapter 46 Chapter 46
Outside the villa, a large airship opened its doors.
On both sides of the door, guards lined up neatly, looking at the villa gate, highly alert.
The mission they received this time was an S-level emergency mission.
The special species that this airship was about to escort had extremely terrifying destructive power and could brutally destroy a mermaid room in a few seconds.
A guard looked heavy: "Special species... You know, the last species that was rated as S-level was a cloaked insect."
"I heard that this time it's a humanoid species, and its appearance is not that scary." The guard next to him comforted him.
"But upgrading the mission to S-level just because of the attack power... It's friendly to the eyes, but not to life!"
They looked at each other and saw the awareness of "risking their lives" in each other's eyes.
Guard A: "We must survive!"
Guard B: "You too!"
They developed a comradeship, one holding the capture net machine tightly, the other holding the shield tightly, forming an attack
and defense team. If the opponent attacks, be ready to fight the "brutal species" to the death at any time!
"Ding!"
The door of the villa was slowly pushed open.
"Gulp." The guards swallowed hard and stared at the crack of the door -
"Ah!" I was shocked, so many people!
"Huh!" The guards were even more shocked and stepped back violently.
They were terrified, and finally calmed down and observed the mysterious special species:
its appearance was no different from that of a mermaid, but if you have to pick out its unique place, it is too exquisite.
Its hair looks like it was done by a top stylist. It has a diamond earring on one ear, a shell necklace around its neck, and a small blanket embellished with delicate embroidery...
If the guards ignored the fact that its lower body is a tail, they would have thought it was a superstar.
The "special species" didn't look like a star, as it looked like it had never seen the world, observing everything strange with surprise.
Guard A: "Where is our S-class mission target?"
Guard B: "First, we can rule out that eye-catching little mermaid."
The little mermaid had a waterproof bag slung across her body, and she held the bag tightly in her pocket and drove her scooter towards the airship.
Guard A: "It looks like a little baby going on a spring outing."
Guard B: "It's cute and smart. It can even drive the mermaid cage forward by itself!"
The scooter drove to their feet and suddenly stopped.
The little mermaid tilted her head left and right, studying the shield in the guard's hand from all directions:
"Huh?" What is this?
Guard A excitedly answered first: "It's a protective shield!"
Guard B was not to be outdone: "It's a self-defense weapon used for defense!"
The little mermaid suddenly realized and raised her paw nervously and expectantly:
"Huh?" Can I touch it?
Guards A and B: Too polite!
"You can try to touch it, but the refined star steel material feels very cold, be careful."
Mu Mu put his fingers on the shield and felt it carefully:
it is stronger than the material of the butler's mechanical arm, and the mermaid's claws can't break it at once.
At least two.
"Mu Mu?"
The marshal walked down from the airship and asked in surprise: "Bring so many things?"
Aren't mermaids a natural species?
"Oh." The master said that all the things were necessary, and they had been streamlined to only a small bag.
Mu Mu was uneasy: "Huh?" Can't you bring even this little thing?
The guards around immediately became serious and held their shields tightly, as if to defend the little mermaid from all the voices that denied it.
"?" The marshal glanced at the guards, his face puzzled.
...Why does it feel like those shields are pointing at her?
"As long as you don't bring anything that pollutes nature."
"Oh!" I won't pollute the sea!
The Marshal scanned its bag: "Okay, it's done."
Mu Mu celebrated with his paws and shared his happiness with the guards next to him: "Ah!" I passed the security check smoothly!
Guard A: "Great!"
Guard B: "I knew you could do it!"
Marshal: ???
What are these guards here to do?
"Get in the airship." The Marshal opened the door and held out his hand to Mu Mu, "There's a pool inside, I'll carry you in?"
Mu Mu grabbed the scooter: "Woo." But I just want to stay in my car...
It's its first time going out far away, and it feels even more uneasy to live in other pools.
The marshal couldn't say no, so he rolled up his sleeves and said, "Then take this car with you..."
Before he finished speaking, the capture net machine and shield were thrown to the ground with a clang. Several guards surrounded the mobility scooter and said passionately,
"Marshal, you don't need to do it yourself, we'll do it!"
The marshal twitched his mouth and said, "You just want to get closer to it, right?"
The guards were well-trained. They shouted slogans and lifted the mobility scooter steadily. Not a drop of water was spilled when they got on the airship.
"Oh!" Thank you!
"You're welcome!"
The marshal pressed the button to close the cabin door and nodded to the guards:
"This phase of the mission has been successfully completed. Thank you for your hard work. Next, escort it to Ocean Star."
Guards: ...When did the mission start?
...
The cabin door slowly closed, Mu Mu turned around and looked out through the gradually shrinking gap.
Is this how the master feels when he goes to work every day?
The airship is about to fly away from home, and the little mermaid begins a day of waiting inside the door.
Now they have switched positions, Mu Mu is in the airship, and Wen Ming stays to wait.
'Mu Mu, I can go with you and wait for you at Ocean Star.'
Mu Mu held the shell tightly in front of her chest, and shook her head at the crack of the cabin door as she did to Wen Ming just now:
"Huh." If you wait by the sea, I won't be able to swim into the deep sea with peace of mind.
"Bang!"
The cabin door closed, and Mu Mu entered the compartment with the pool. The surroundings became empty and quiet...
"That little mermaid is a special species?"
"Is this true? Why is the mission classified as S-level? It's a completely harmless little cutie!"
The guards talked in confusion and came to the monitoring room.
The airship started, and the virtual screen in front of them lit up, showing the picture of the closed compartment.
"Huh!"
The big face standing straight in the middle startled several people.
"Does it know we are looking at it?" Guard A tensed up, "Do special species have anti-detection capabilities?"
The little mermaid studied the camera 360 degrees and poked the camera with her finger.
Guard B: "It seems that it is just curious about the camera."
"Why doesn't it go into the pool? The car it is riding in is so small, it looks like it is modified from a mermaid cage."
"It's so cute, my nephew also has a similar toy car, with a slow speed limit, it's just a baby bus."
As he spoke, the little mermaid poked for a while, lost interest, and turned his head to look at the camera on the other side.
At the moment when its claws grasped the steering wheel, the "baby bus" swooped out.
Only a shadow was left in the picture, and a big face was immediately pasted on the surveillance picture from another angle...
The guards leaned back: "So fast!"
The compartment is specially used to escort special species, like a flying prison. There is nothing inside except a pool, a monitor and a vent.
The excited little mermaid soon became bored. She lay on the scooter and patted her stomach, as if she was hungry.
"Too much! How can you design such a simple compartment!" The guards were indignant, "Not even food for the little cutie, the conditions are extremely poor!"
They rummaged through the boxes and tried to find a bag of mermaid food from the airship.
Then they found that the little mermaid took out snacks from her backpack.
"Fuck, the mermaid eats food whenever it sees it, and it can actually store it? It can even open the bag by itself? It even prepared a garbage bag to throw the bag in!?"
The guard didn't know which one to be shocked first, and was stunned in front of the surveillance camera.
The bag carried by the little mermaid looks small, but its capacity is amazing, it can be called a treasure box.
It took out several bags of sealed fish meat, nutrients, clean dried fish, teething sticks... Finally, it was full and found a jigsaw puzzle to kill time.
The guard's expression gradually changed from surprise to numbness:
"Tangram... an educational toy that I don't even understand."
"Don't say it, it's not as good as the old and the young, but now it's even worse than a mermaid."
"I don't think we need to worry about it. It has everything it needs and lives a comfortable life. It's just a little lonely ."
"It can't be lonely. Can it be accompanied by someone? Hahaha..."
"Ah?" Why can't this piece be put in?
Mu Mu tried hard to stuff the last remaining tangram into the frame.
"Mu Mu, don't worry."
The diamond on the earring flashed crystal, and Wen Ming's voice was transmitted along Mu Mu's pointed ear bone: "Look at the lower left corner, can changing the combination make more space?"
"!"
Mu Mu suddenly realized, reassembled, and successfully put the last piece in.
"Ahh." The master is the smartest human in the universe!
"Mu Mu is smart, he understood it right away." Wen Ming said softly.
Mu Mu shook his ears: "Huh."
You are the smartest and there is no room for debate! Only you can think of attaching the butler's chip to the diamond.
"Ding ding!" The electronic voice of the family butler also drilled into Mu Mu's ears, "It is detected that the airship is making a leap, and the call signal will fluctuate as a result. Do you want to hang up the call?"
Mu Mu put the things into the bag one by one, humming reluctantly.
As the airship bumped, Wen Ming's voice became a little distorted: "Go to sleep if you are sleepy, Mu Mu."
Mu Mu was shaken so hard that he clung to the scooter: "Huh?"
"Well, don't hang up, I'll accompany you."
Mu Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and his mood settled down in the shaking airship.
It wrapped itself in a small blanket, held the shell, listened to the gentle breathing in its ears, and fell asleep peacefully...
In its dream, it saw its mother.
The mother excitedly told it how much she missed it, pulled it back to its tribe, and said that she would never be separated from it again.
Mu Mu shook her head at her mother: "There is a very important human waiting for me to go back."
"But the ocean is the home of the mermaids."
The mermaid mother advised: "You just lived with humans for too long and got used to that environment. If you stay in the sea for a while, you will not choose to go back!"
Mu Mu hugged her mother: "I'm sorry, my home is no longer the sea."
...
It was awakened by the smell of the sea.
Most of the area of Ocean Star is covered by ocean. As soon as the airship completed the migration, the rich ocean breath penetrated in.
A sense of familiarity arose inside Mu Mu's body. His brain was stimulated by instinct and he was extremely excited.
Mermaids can adapt to various water qualities, including sea water, fresh water, tap water filtered by humans, etc. Only the sea of Ocean Star can make every cell of the mermaids excited.
"Awooo——" Here it is!
There is a small door at the bottom of the compartment where it is.
The violent sea breeze rushed in, and Mu Mu subconsciously switched to hunting mode, allowing the film floating on the bottom of his eyes to protect his eyes.
"Roar!" This is my hometown. It's beautiful!
Mu Mu jumped out of the scooter, lay down beside the door, and proudly showed it to Wen Ming.
After waiting for a long time, there was no response from Wen Ming, so Mu Mu slapped his ears:
"Huh." Little housekeeper, I want to talk to the master!
"Ding, the signal is abnormal! Sound waves that block the signal are detected. We can't connect to the star network and can't make a call."
"?"
The airship descended to a height close to the sea level, and shook violently. Mu Mu, who was watching the sea beside the small door, was shaken out.
As Mu Mu fell into the sea, he roared to the sky:
"Roar--" Who is sending out sound waves that block the signal! ?
"Plop!" The collision with the sea surface made the blue mermaid wake up instantly.
"Woo woo." I'm a big fool!
Mu Mu floated on the water and pretended to be dead: I actually forgot that the mermaids would keep releasing sound waves to disrupt the Ocean Star signal.
How can I contact the owner now!
