Chapter 48 Chapter 48

"Wow!"

After 3 hours and 46 minutes, Wen Ming finally got through to Mu Mu via video.

"Mu Mu?"

Mu Mu waved at the virtual screen in front of him: "Ah!" Master, look, this is what the Ocean Star looks like!

It turned around in place, showing Wen Ming the island it was on and the ocean behind it.

The video screen swayed and changed the scenery, but Wen Ming was a little sluggish, his eyes were always on Mu Mu.

"?" Is the signal stuck again?

Mu Mu stretched out his paw and waved it on the virtual screen until Wen Ming blinked, and then he realized that it was not a signal problem.

Then why is the master in a daze?

Mu Mu tilted his head to think for a while, tightened his claws, and hid the webbed fingers:

"Woo." Is my hunting form so scary...

This is the first time that Mu Mu has shown Wen Ming his mermaid appearance while he is conscious.

The mermaid's hair is harder than that of a mermaid, and the braided style has become straight, not as natural as the mermaid's.

It faced the virtual screen and used its claws to trim the stiffest part of its hairstyle -

"Bang!"

The rubber band was cut by its sharp claws and bounced far away.

Mu Mu was so scared that he retracted his claws and dared not to pull his head back. He drooped his fins aggrievedly:

"Gu." I am not used to the hunting form either, but I don't know if there is any danger on the island. It is safer to become a mermaid.

"Mumu." Wen Ming's tone was as if he had found something he had lost. "Did you have fun?"

"Ah!" The ocean star was particularly beautiful!

Mumu moved the chat box with Wen Ming. Before this call, there were dozens of pictures that failed to be sent.

"Ah." I wanted to share this with you. You can't imagine how many colors corals have!

Wen Ming exhaled slowly and deeply: "Is there no signal in the sea?"

Mumu pointed at his neck and pretended to shout loudly.

"The mermaids are disrupting the signal?" Wen Ming frowned, "Then can you find other mermaids?"

Mumu slapped the ground with his tail: "Yeah!" When they hear my sound waves, they will come to take me to the tribe.

It opened the waterproof bag and took out a bottle of nutrients from it.

Mu Mu poured out a pill and ate it, then shook the bottle towards the virtual screen, causing the nutrients to make a "ding-dong" sound.

"Hehe." Only three pills left!

Mu Mu hinted to Wen Ming crazily: Take two pills a day, and you should come pick me up in a day and a half!

Wen Ming stared at it quietly, with a smile on his face.

"Hey." Are you laughing?

Mu Mu put away the nutrients with a silly smile, and responded to him with bared teeth.

"...Roar."

"!" Mu Mu's ears were shaking violently like a radar that sensed a signal.

It howled towards the source of the sound waves, and heard a response from afar, and excitedly spun around the virtual screen:

"Roar!" I found it, I'm going to see my mother!

"Go ahead." Wen Ming instructed, "Be careful, and contact me if anything happens."

Mu Mu's mind had long drifted to the deep sea. She nodded quickly and slapped her claws towards "end call."

"Mu Mu."

Wen Ming called it, but her words were not smooth: "Remember to say goodbye to the mermaids."

You will choose to come back to me after seeing them, right?

"Ah!"

Mu Mu couldn't wait to jump into the sea. The video screen blurred into a snow screen, and the signal was completely cut off with a "beep"...

A mermaid responded to Mu Mu's sound waves.

Mu Mu followed the source of the sound waves and swam to the deep sea. He saw his own kind with his own eyes and almost cried with excitement:

"Wuwu family!"

The mermaid was puzzled: "Who are your family?"

"You are wrong, it is the good brothers of the tribe." The live broadcast heard "family" and got it right.

Mu Mu chased the tip of his tail and swam in circles in front of the mermaid.

In his memory, this action represents goodwill in the mermaid race.

The other party also followed in a circle, but when he glanced at the messenger bag that Mu Mu was carrying, he stopped:

"What is that? What's in it?"

"I use it to carry food." Mu Mu took out a piece of shrimp and handed it to the other party, "Do you want to eat it?"

Sharing food is the most sincere social etiquette among mermaids.

The mermaid took the shrimp, took a bite, and asked suspiciously:

"Is this a shrimp? How come there is no shell?"

"It's a shrimp processed by humans." Mu Mu frowned, "It tastes good, right!"

The mermaid stopped chewing immediately, and glanced at Mu Mu's hairstyle and earrings vigilantly: "Have you had contact with humans?"

Mu Mu said cautiously: "I was raised as a mermaid by humans for a period of time."

"Are you the little mermaid caught by humans before?" The mermaid swung its tail heavily, "So you told humans about your identity as a mermaid?"

Mu Mu rolled in the water it stirred up: "No! I even hid it from the humans I trust the most!"

The mermaid sniffed around carefully, wondering if Mu Mu had attracted humans, and said worriedly:

"The tribe doesn't welcome mermaids who have had dealings with humans. Why did you come back?"

Mu Mu became serious and carefully took out a bottle from his bag:

"I brought this back."

The bottle contained a powder that could drive Mu Mu crazy. The mermaid went to the edge of the piston and sniffed it, and his expression was shocked.

It slowed down for a long time before turning to the tribe:

"Come with me."

*

After hanging up the call with Mu Mu, loneliness surrounded Wen Ming again.

He tried his best to keep himself busy and clean up the messy mermaid room.

Replace the new soft wall, drain the water from the mermaid pool and clean it, throw away the torn decorative water plants...

When he cleaned up the rockery, his movements slowed down.

Mu Mu sometimes climbed to the top of the rockery and secretly hid something...

Wen Ming came to the place where he remembered Mu Mu would stay and found a hole in the rockery.

If he didn't enter the mermaid pool, this cave would be in his blind spot.

Wen Ming took out the things hidden inside one by one -

the shell fragments of the housekeeper that were put together with great effort, the broken toothbrush entangled with water plants, the fragments of the small jar smashed by crabs...

They were all Mu Mu's "house-demolition achievements."

Wen Ming suddenly remembered what the masked anchor said during the live broadcast:

"Mermaids are too lazy to destroy things. They are just not used to human things and occasionally do bad things with good intentions."

Wen Ming could imagine the scene: every time Mu Mu accidentally destroyed the house, he felt very sorry, but he couldn't say sorry, so he hid and tried to repair it clumsily.

The little mermaid who didn't grow up in a tribe is walking on thin ice on the human planet. Even if he is not blamed, he has to save his mistakes.

Wen Ming once again realized that he still failed to create a comfortable living environment for Mu Mu.

He kept these "fragments" properly, turned around and found a stone with an abrupt shape.

There seems to be another cave entrance hidden under the stone.

Wen Ming stretched out his arm...

"Ding!" The computer popped up a call request.

Wen Ming paused and looked at the computer: "Marshal?"

"Wen Ming, I searched for 'mermaid' in the military secret library. There are records saying that the mermaids had exchanges with humans in the past."

The marshal looked at a document and read:

"The mermaids are kind-hearted and often use their fighting and counseling abilities to help humans. As a result, some people have a greedy desire for them.

Some people designed a fiber optic net to frantically capture mermaids in an attempt to control them for their own use."

Wen Ming felt uneasy: "Where are the captured mermaids?"

"The mermaids who lost their freedom died of depression, and the mermaids who were not captured hid in the depths of the ocean star, emitting sound waves day and night to disrupt human detection signals."

The marshal looked away from the data and analyzed in astonishment:

"I was wondering why you said that the laboratory was doing mermaid experiments. It seems that their target is the entire mermaid race!"

Wen Ming suddenly realized and murmured: "So the mermaid race rejects humans."

Then Mu Mu went back...

"Marshal, I need an airship that can jump."

In order to maintain interstellar stability, the jump of airships is strictly controlled.

Private airships do not have the jump function. Large airships can only jump at the specified time after approval.

The marshal was a little puzzled for a moment: "Now?"

"Yes, your identity can obtain leapfrog authority." Wen Ming's face showed anxiety, "Please."

The marshal operated on his optical computer: "Wait a moment, I will apply for authority..."

"Ding ding!"

The interface of Wen Ming's optical computer suddenly flashed the most critical red light, and the electronic voice of the family housekeeper came out one after another:

"Alert! The mermaid... body... is in an extremely dangerous condition!"

The marshal continued: "One can be vacated in an hour."

"No need, thank you."

Wen Ming's palm touched the ground, and energy filled his body, like a hurricane: "It's too late to use the airship..."

The floor sank, and a hidden door leading to the underground appeared.

"Ding! Identification successful, opening the mecha room."

*

"What, what is this!?"

The leader of the mermaid tribe was shaking all over when he got the bottle of powder.

Mu Mu's fins drooped sadly and he nodded: "It's the corpse of a tribe member."

What can make the united mermaids lose their minds is the smell of corpses of the same kind.

After Mu Mu smelled that the powder was an extract from the corpses of mermaids, he had to come to Ocean Star.

It wanted to take them home.

The leader was a very old mermaid, and he shed tears and said: "Those mermaids who were captured by humans..."

Most of the mermaids in the tribe gathered here. Some of them had tears in their eyes like the leader, and most of them were looking at Mu Mu curiously.

"I will bury them, thank you for bringing them back."

The chief wiped away his tears and looked at Mu Mu calmly: "Little mermaid, do you want anything in return?"

"I want to ask, do mermaids have the ability to dredge the sea of ​​​​spirituality?" As

soon as these words came out, the surrounding mermaids trembled their pointed ears alertly and became more vigilant, as if they would stretch out their claws and ask Mu Mu in the next second:

What is your relationship with humans!

The chief raised one arm, signaling the mermaids not to be impulsive, and asked Mu Mu:

"Why do you ask about the ability to vent?"

Mu Mu's eyes swept over the mermaids around him, swallowing silently:

the mermaids here have lived on the seabed for a long time, hunting and fighting every day, and have maximum practical experience;

Mu Mu was carefully raised in the mermaid pool, and occasionally went to the swimming pool to catch a fish. The most brutal fight he had experienced was being questioned by the barrage.

Fear is the secret to saving life!

Mu Mu pondered: "Because I was raised as a mermaid by humans, I have to pretend to be a little more like it. If I can't vent, I will be exposed."

The chief's facial muscles trembled slightly, as if he was shaking.

"The tribe doesn't want me to reveal my identity as a mermaid, right?" Mu Mu said, "If I can be a mermaid, humans won't suspect me!"

"Actually, mermaids have the ability to guide others..." the chief explained in detail.

A mermaid anxiously used his claws to grind a stone:

"Chief, our clan rules do not allow contact with humans. It asks about the ability to guide others, obviously it wants to return to humans!"

"Yes, if it goes back and exposes the mermaid's ability to guide others, what if the tragedy of the past is repeated?"

The chief's tail stirred a stream of water to calm the mermaids.

"Are you really just pretending to be a mermaid in human society?"

The chief looked down at the bottle of powder: "Mermaids are pets of humans, how can they have the power to get this?"

Mu Mu was mysterious: "To be honest, my identity among humans is Da Zhubo."

There is no word to express the meaning of "anchor" in the language of mermaids.

Mu Mu translated it directly.

The pronunciation of "bo" formed a large bubble, just like the legendary potion brewed by the wizard, gurgling bubbles of witchcraft.

"Boil, bo?"

The mermaids were confused by the strange pronunciation and imitated it one after another. Every time it was repeated, a string of bubbles rose.

Chief: "What do you mean?"

"It's a profession. As long as I open the live broadcast room, thousands of humans will be locked in and become human language called barrage."

The mermaids almost dropped their jaws in shock: "Thousands!? What are so many humans going to do to you?"

"They can't do anything."

Mu Mu boasted: "I am the only one who can control the live broadcast room. They have to listen to everything I say. Humans who want to talk to me via microphone have to spend star coins to give gifts!"

In the eyes of the mermaids, Mu Mu has become the incarnation of a wizard.

A little mermaid rushed to Mu Mu, grabbed his wrist and shook it: "Brother, you are so awesome!"

The little mermaid couldn't control his claws well, and the sharp claws rubbed against Mu Mu's messenger bag.

"Crack!"

Mu Mu heard the sound of the glass bottle breaking, looked down, and saw a hole in the small bag, and the three nutrient tablets were swept away by the water.

The little mermaid let go of his claws: " I'm sorry!"

The chief quickly swung his tail, caught the three nutrient tablets that had drifted away, and returned them to Mu Mu carefully: "Keep them."

This can't be a witchcraft that can poison all creatures on the ocean star...

Mu Mu couldn't find a container to hold the nutrient tablets, so he simply chewed and ate two tablets, and put the remaining one in the palm of his hand:

"Do you want a bite?"

The chief's whole fish was as stiff as a fish: "No, no!"

Mu Mu ate the third tablet, patted his belly and said to himself:

"Oh no, this amount is a bit excessive..."

Chief: Oo,

there really is something in this medicine!

It spoke cautiously: "Do you think that humans will obey you just by threatening them with this drug?"

Mu Mu blinked a few times: "I didn't threaten them, they did it willingly." It

even controlled the human mind! ?
