Faced with Xie Qi's terrifying threat, Wang Wenchang's defenses collapsed instantly, and he told everything in detail, trembling.
At this moment, the leader of the country, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.
"It is us humans who have misunderstood you. Please calm down and give us a chance to survive."
After saying that, the commander couldn't help but turn his head and look at the huge and majestic water curtain that was towering into the clouds on the coast not far away.
The water curtain seemed like a natural barrier, stretching between the land and the sea. The commander knew very well that if Xie Qi was really determined to use this endless sea water to submerge the continent beneath their feet.
Even if humans desperately tried to escape to the mountains, they would still be doomed. By then, the entire continent would be swallowed by the vast ocean, becoming a dead, silent swamp.
The commander shuddered at the thought. After all, the mermaids' powerful strength was too terrifying, far beyond what humans could contend with.
Now that things have come to this, the only thing humans can do is to try every possible means to calm Xie Qi's anger and pray that he will show mercy and let humans go.
After hearing the commander's words, Xie Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "It's not impossible for me to let you go, but I have conditions."
Hearing this, everyone present felt their hearts sink in their throats. They looked at each other, wondering what kind of demanding request this mysterious and powerful mermaid would make.
However, to their surprise, Xie Qi did not make things difficult for humans, but instead benefited humans more.
Xie Qi signed a peace agreement with humans. According to this agreement, from now on, those artificial mermaids who were transformed must not treat them as aliens.
They enjoy the same rights and interests as normal humans, and humans may not capture them or use them for scientific research or other activities for any reason.
In addition, Wang Wenchang and others were sentenced to death. The government will conduct a thorough investigation of the Wang family, punish the offenders according to the severity of the circumstances, and strictly prohibit any form of human experimentation from happening again.
In exchange, Xie Qi promised them that he would restore the Earth to life within fifty years.
After Li Mu pressed his fingerprint on the contract on behalf of Xie Qi.
Xie Qi, who had been silent all this time, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and a mysterious smile quietly appeared on his face.
Immediately afterwards, an enormous curtain of water appeared behind Xie Qi, coming down from the distant sea level like a tidal wave.
Looking at the terrifying water curtain that covered the sky and was approaching rapidly, everyone present couldn't help but feel terrified.
Just as the water curtain that seemed to be able to swallow everything was about to submerge the entire world, it suddenly stopped at the horizon.
However, although the water curtain stopped moving forward, it still hung high in the sky, completely covering the vast sky and plunging the earth below into a dark scene.
Seeing this situation, the leaders of the country, who had already been scared out of their wits, no longer cared about their dignity and decency.
One of them even yelled at Xie Qi at the top of his lungs, "Haven't we already agreed to everything you asked for? Are you planning to go back on your word now?!"
Facing the other party's exasperated questioning, Xie Qi appeared relaxed and even responded with a hint of joking, "Don't get so worked up. I just wanted to give you a heads-up. If I truly wanted revenge, with your limited strength, you wouldn't even stand a chance. So... you'd better not break this agreement, or the consequences will be something you humans can't bear."
After all, the greed in human nature is like a seed buried deep in the heart. Once it encounters suitable soil, it will grow and spread wildly.
Even with a written contract as a guarantee, it may not be able to truly and effectively restrain a person's restless heart.
Only through such a powerful and deterrent method, making them deeply feel how terrible the painful price they have to pay for violating the agreement is, can we force them to be cautious and not dare to easily touch the fragile contract that maintains peace.
"Don't worry, we will abide by our promise."
Just as the commander finished speaking, the next second the sea water that was still suspended in the sky all went towards the clouds, and above the sea surface, the water columns also rushed straight upwards and rushed into the sky.
Just as everyone was staring in amazement at the breathtaking spectacle before them, they gradually became aware of raindrops falling from the sky.
However, what is even more astonishing is that these raindrops falling from the sky are not black as people usually see, but are pure and flawless, as transparent as crystal.
"It's raining?!"
No one knew who was the first to shout, but everyone present stretched out their hands at the same time, trying to catch the falling raindrops.
Some of them couldn't wait to take off the masks and scarves covering their faces, and then greedily licked the precious rain water that they had finally caught in their hands.
For them, such pure, clear rainwater without any impurities is a rare thing they have never seen before.
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but firmly believe deep down in their hearts that Xie Qi could bring life to the earth.
As time passed, the originally drizzling raindrops began to become more and more dense, gradually gathering into a downpour.
This mighty rain did its best to wash away the dust in the air, and at the same time, it also mercilessly washed away the disgusting pungent smell.
It seems to be giving the entire earth a thorough purification and baptism.
In this way, it continued to rain for three hours before the rain gradually stopped and the heavy dark clouds in the sky began to slowly dissipate.
After a long period of haze, mankind finally witnessed the warm, bright and friendly sunshine again.
Afterwards, those mindless artificial mermaids who looked like puppets were also brought back to consciousness by Xie Qi and remembered their memories as humans.
However, these artificial mermaids who have experienced special experiences have developed a series of difficult psychological problems to varying degrees.
Faced with this situation, the country established a mermaid hospital specifically for these artificial mermaids in accordance with Xie Qi's request.
Psychological counselors and medical staff are equipped to help them get rid of psychological shadows and heal inner traumas.
At the same time, Xie Qi also helps these artificial mermaids find their families. Upon learning that their children or relatives had been abducted and transformed into mermaids and had survived, some families could not wait to come and greet them, bringing their loved ones home to live together.
For those mermaids who have unfortunately lost all their family members, they can choose to continue staying in this mermaid house.
