Although they arrived late, they went straight to a booth in the front after entering.
Obviously, that booth was originally reserved for them.
As they sat down, the man who looked like a manager trotted over there.
As soon as I approached, the manager lowered his head and humbly leaned forward.
Even though I couldn't hear what they were saying from a distance, I could still guess the identities of the group just by looking at their attitude.
I don't know what they said to each other, but they surrounded the manager and left. A few girls in short skirts sat over there, and waiters brought them wine and fruit.
It’s hard to tell whether the wine is good or bad, but the fruits look much fresher.
Although they were sitting in the same bar, their social status was fully displayed at this moment.
Sun Hao lowered his voice and sighed, "As expected, different identities mean different presentations!
Alas, if... maybe we can also be treated like that."
The words were vague, but when he said this, Sun Hao was looking at Zhou Ziyang.
Just by looking at him like this, Nan Ci knew that until now, he must still believe that Zhou Ziyang was the prince who was replaced by Li Mao.
But the truth was a far cry from what he had imagined.
Nan Ci did not explain, and no one else spoke either.
Seeing that they didn't say anything, Sun Hao did it again and didn't say anything else.
Just then, all the lights in the bar went out.
Suddenly, everything was plunged into darkness, and some people let out a small cry of surprise.
But the darkness did not last long.
Soon, the lights on the stage in front came on.
Under the light, there is a long water tank with a row of mermaids in it.
Seeing this scene, Nan Ci's breathing tightened for a moment.
This is……
Mu Qianqian's reaction was greater than Nan Ci's.
Mu Qianqian was sitting next to Nan Ci and Zhou Ziyang. At this time, Mu Qianqian raised her hands and subconsciously held Nan Ci and Zhou Ziyang's wrists.
Just by feeling Mu Qianqian's strength on his wrist, Nan Ci knew that her heart must be extremely uneasy at this moment.
Sun Hao had no idea what was going on, but he watched with great interest.
His eyes were fixed on the mermaid on the stage, but he did not forget to explain to Nan Ci.
"We are really lucky. We just arrived at the base and encountered the mermaid performance.
You don’t know that mutants like mermaids are the rarest among mutants.
Although their attack power is not strong, each one is more beautiful than the other, with fair skin and beautiful looks.
Although I don’t have legs, it doesn’t affect anything.
Mermaids like them are only enjoyed by the powerful and influential people in the base.
For ordinary people like us with special abilities, it is extremely difficult to meet them, let alone watch their performances.
I think it was because of the arrival of that group today that we specially performed for them. We are really lucky to have such an opportunity."
As Sun Hao spoke, he began to laugh, his happiness evident on the surface.
But apart from him, Nan Ci and the others couldn't laugh.
Nan Ci took another look at the mermaids performing on the stage, "Are you saying that these mermaids have become playthings of the powerful people in the base?"
Sun Hao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then shook his head, "They can't be called playthings. They have mutated into this state, have no attack power, and can't find food and clean water on their own.
If they don't rely on those big guys, it will be difficult for them to survive. So I think this should be a mutually beneficial thing.
You see how hard they perform, how happy they laugh, and how they glance at the booth from time to time. Isn't it all for the sake of being noticed, so that they can have a worry-free life from now on?"
It has to be said that what Sun Hao said made a lot of sense, and Nan Ci couldn't even find a word to refute it.
In today's environment, it's all about survival of the fittest.
If people who cannot survive on their own want to stay alive, they will always find ways to rely on others.
Even the transformed mermaid cannot escape this fate.
Thinking of this, Nan Ci's mood gradually calmed down and his anger disappeared.
Once your mood calms down, your brain will also be clear.
Nan Ci also realized at this time that the reason she was angry was not because of the choices made by these mermaids, but because she was afraid that Mu Qianqian would one day fall into the same situation.
But how is this possible?
With her around, Mu Qianqian would never end up like this.
Even if the outside world is no longer suitable for Mu Qianqian, she can let Mu Qianqian live in the space.
There, Mu Qianqian can live a carefree life without any worries or fears.
With such a way out, there is no need to worry about trivial matters.
After figuring it out, Nan Ci raised his other hand and gently patted Mu Qianqian's hand.
Mu Qianqian seemed to be startled back to her senses and subconsciously looked at Nan Ci, "Nan Ci..."
Nan Ci smiled at Mu Qianqian, "It's okay, I'm here!"
Such a simple smile and words instantly calmed Mu Qianqian's anxious heart.
Mu Qianqian took a deep breath and gradually relaxed.
Sun Hao had been paying attention to the mermaid on the stage and didn't notice the interaction between the two of them at all.
The mermaid performance did not last long. After about half an hour, they were carried away.
Although the mermaid was carried away, the show continued.
The one who came to power again was still a mutated person.
Although these mutants are not as beautiful as mermaids, they are all related to the creatures on the seabed.
It’s because of their limited abilities that some are funny, some are hilarious, and some are beautiful.
Although their abilities are different, they have one thing in common, which is that they have lost their original human appearance and have lost their lethality, but have become objects of people's appreciation.
The people in the bar were watching with great interest, clapping, cheering and whistling from time to time.
In their opinion, watching these mutants was no different from watching a circus.
But the people on the stage are not animals, they have thoughts.
Being treated as playthings for viewing, it is obvious that their hearts are extremely complicated.
This seems to be more painful than having no food or drink.
I can live, but I live without dignity.
If they had not mutated, even if they were just ordinary survivors, they could earn food through their own efforts.
Even if life is a little harder, at least it won’t be like it is now.
Nan Ci felt like a stone was pressing on his heart.
This is not an overflow of sympathy, but hatred for those researchers who study mutants and turn them into mutants at will without caring about their original wishes. (End of this chapter)
