The Pingyao spacecraft slowly advanced along the pre-set cruising route on the seabed.
Because this spaceship is private property, even though the Mermaid King recruited the five-fish crew of the Pingyao to help patrol the sea border, the destination was decided by the recruits themselves. In any case, even with the wealth of the mermaids, it would be difficult to afford a spaceship that could participate in the patrol.
After receiving the summons, Xi Huayue and the others discussed the matter before setting off and finally decided to go to the most dangerous western district.
As a veteran who participated in the last sea monster catastrophe, Xi Huayue warned them to do their best to survive. Their role was equivalent to that of scouts, and only surviving scouts could bring back intelligence.
The Pingyao was originally designed and painted to resemble a deep-sea ray, and it was able to navigate the ocean using only the propulsion of its two wings.
This gave the Pingyao a great deal of security, allowing the five-fish team to conduct reconnaissance as deeply as possible compared to the other fish.
In the calm sea, inside the Pingyao, among the Five Fish Group, Li Qi and Ye Ling were sitting in front of the control panel. Behind them, Xi Huayue, Lan Qi, and Ka Sai were also sitting on soft bubbles.
They did not control the spaceship. Until they discovered anything unusual, the Pingyao's automatic cruise was sufficient. Taking any further action would only risk exposing them.
The reconnaissance work was quite lonely and boring. They sailed on the vast ocean and would not see any other mermaids for a long time, or even a piece of seaweed. Even if they had companions with them, it was only the five of them for a long time. They had already said everything they needed to say, and there was nothing left to say.
The five fish are inseparable because, in such terrible loneliness, they become each other's spiritual pillars.
They had already developed enough tacit understanding during their exploration and voyage in the universe. Although the sea was unpredictable, it made them feel safer than the universe and they were not too nervous.
At this moment, Xi Huayue was looking down at the miniature mirage bead on his wrist. This thing was specially designed to enhance signal transmission, so that even in sea areas where no signal transmission stations had been established, the scouts could transmit messages in real time.
What Xi Huayue is seeing now is the news that two days ago, the sea monster attacked most of the small towns on the thirteenth line of the western district.
The sea monsters were naturally driven back by the well-prepared mermaids, but the witch-priest mermaid king Yan Maomao ordered all the mermaids in the western district to retreat to within the seventh line, while the outer lines eight to thirteen were temporarily abandoned.
The sea area is too vast, and the mermaids in the western district live in a scattered manner, which has resulted in a rather weak defense for the western district.
Originally, the city of the mermaids in the western district had a total of twenty-four lines, with one hundred cities in each line. The mermaids with so many cities were already struggling to survive within the thirteenth line, and now Yan Maomao has ordered the defense line to shrink...
Xi Huayue's latest mission is to go to a third-tier city to check on the sea monster's movements and ensure the mermaids' evacuation can proceed smoothly.
During wartime, mermaids, who are all soldiers, no longer have the concept of civilians. Each of them possesses sufficient lethality, and each mermaid is a valuable asset.
Besides Xi Huayue, Lan Qi, Ka Sai, Li Qi, and Ye Ling also received messages one after another.
"They're actually giving up on sixth-tier cities again. The western region hasn't even really started fighting yet, and they've already given up so much sea area... What is the Witchcraft Mermaid King thinking?" Li Qi frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied.
Lan Qi casually remarked, "Aren't witch priests and mermaids all incredibly mysterious? In any case, before the final results are in, the things they do are all rather inexplicable."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and touched his chin, his deep blue peach blossom eyes narrowing slightly: "However... female shamanic mermaids do have a unique charm."
"Tch!" Li Qi gave him a disdainful look.
Lan Qi smiled and winked at her, half-jokingly saying, "But... none of them can compare to the Crystal Mermaid."
Li Qi suddenly became alert: "Crystal Mermaid? After you came to my house last time, my sister suddenly told me she wanted to marry you... You beast, what have you done! She's only nine years old!!"
Lan Qi: "..." You know she's only nine years old! Who would be interested in those baby fish?
Kasai looked at Lanqi with pity, even though she was forcing a smile, she still looked particularly charming.
Therefore, even fish should keep themselves pure and upright, otherwise look at Lan Qi who flirted with everyone, this is what happened to her.
"Alright, that's enough." Kasai said coldly, "Lanqi has always been a single fish, he just talks the talk, but if you really ask him, he immediately backs down."
"Hahahaha, he immediately chickened out, hahahahaha!" Li Qi laughed so hard he almost fell over.
Kasai swore that he really just wanted to help Lanqi, and that he wasn't mocking him for having the desire but not the courage.
"Who's a coward?" Lan Qi was immediately displeased. How could he be a coward? He only admired the other mermaids, okay? If those mermaids took it seriously, how could he pursue the mermaid he loved?
This isn't cowardice, this is foresight!
Xi Huayue didn't interrupt their chatter. While Li Qi, Ka Sai, and Lan Qi were having a heated discussion about whether Lan Qi was a flirt or a coward, he was carefully studying the flight path. Ye Ling moved her seat back a little and came to his side, whispering to him the various data of the spaceship.
After a long while, Xi Huayue had decided on the route and looked up, saying, "Prepare to change course."
The three fish who were just chatting suddenly became serious and returned to their respective duties. Li Qi faced the control panel, while Lan Qi sat in the assistant's seat next to her, responsible for checking and correcting any mistakes she made.
Ye Ling moved his seat back to the control panel and prepared himself in front of the dense array of buttons, while Ka Sai acted as his assistant.
