Because of the time difference, Jiang Shuyin didn't see the message in time, so when she clicked on the picture, she was terrified by her son.
You can't eat that!!!
When Xing Zhengfei received the call, he was sitting in the deep forest making a fire. Seeing the caller ID, his red eyes smiled and said, "Good morning, Mother."
Baoping, who was standing next to him, suddenly looked up at him.
"You didn't eat the fish, did you? Is it still alive?"
Xing Zhengfei looked at the fish and said, "I didn't eat it. You know I don't eat talking animals."
"Hmm..." Jiang Shuyin was somewhat at a loss for words: "The people you met should be merfolk. Before you, there were six older brothers and sisters who stayed in the merfolk tribe. If you meet them, please help me see if they are living well. Thank you."
Xing Zhengfei had the phone on speakerphone, and Bao Ping heard Jiang Shuyin's voice. He stared blankly for a long time before finally moving.
He silently lowered his head, lost in his own chaotic thoughts.
As far as he knew, there were nine merfolk in his tribe whose mothers were unknown. Six of them were his own kind, including himself, while the other three did not share a mother. So...so...
His breathing became rapid.
Dear Sea God, did you hear my prayer and use your divine power to send me to my loved ones?
Baoping suddenly prostrated himself on the ground, turning his head towards the sea to express his gratitude.
Xing Zhengfei glanced at it only once, still talking to his mother: "Mother, what have you been doing lately? Did you receive the things I asked Father to give you?"
Jiang Shuyin chatted with him for a while before hanging up the phone, but she was still not quite at peace.
She both loved and hated the merfolk.
She had promised to visit once a year, but she almost forgot. She will set off as soon as this mission is over.
Chieftain... and High Priest, just wait.
She glanced back at the flowers on the window, let out a soft sigh, and walked away.
Shen Wei stood behind the window, listened to her words, and deduced that the person opposite her was a man of the opposite sex who was younger than her, and their relationship seemed to be quite good...
Wait, why is he thinking about these things?
As long as she's alright, that's fine. People in the base area are generally not allowed to contact the outside world. Maybe she cares about a lot of people. I often see her sending messages and making phone calls.
Shen Wei had few relatives; his only cousin had also died.
There are only a few elderly people left in the family. They all think that they should not disturb his work or cause him any trouble, so they will not contact him except for major holidays.
A soft knock sounded on the door, and the person I had just been thinking about walked in.
"Commander Shen, have some tea."
......
"You mean...you're my brother?"
Xing Zhengfei's crimson eyes were full of mockery as his critical gaze swept over Bao Ping's thin body. Compared to the disliked Ace, he felt a slight fondness for this seemingly weak older brother.
It was truly amazing to witness the other person's wounds slowly heal until they disappeared without a trace.
Even more amazing is that the fish's tail automatically transformed into smooth, slender legs after it came ashore, which is incredible.
Therefore, he had to avoid Dr. Ai's group of mad scientists and bring the fish here.
Baoping was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, the adults in the tribe said that our mother, the sextuplets, is human, and only we are."
This younger brother is even cooler than Zixin; his eyes are actually red, making him look even more formidable than a large, ferocious animal.
Xing Zhengfei, resting his chin on his hand, asked, "Then who is your father...?"
Baoping lowered his head: "My father died when he gave birth to us."
Xing Zhengfei raised an eyebrow and thought to himself: What a pitiful bunch of little guys, they don't even have a powerful father.
Let's go see them then.
"I'll go over there and say hello, then I'll come back with you. You wait here for me."
Baoping's eyes lit up, his azure pupils shimmering: "Really? I'm so happy! My brother and Zixin will be so happy to see you too."
Haha, that's not necessarily true.
Xing Zhengfei smiled and stood up, his feet dangling in the air as he flew towards the woods.
He encountered a python on the road and cut it in half.
After filling his stomach and smelling of fish, he went over and said to Dr. Ai, "I need to go out for a bit. Register what documents I need first, so I don't die."
The team members were terrified when he appeared like a ghost, their hair standing on end and trembling with fear.
In contrast, Dr. Ai was much calmer. As long as he had the notebook in his hand, he was not flustered at all: "The materials you brought are only enough for us to use seven times. Just come back within six days."
Xing Zhengfei's face darkened, and he let out a cold snort.
After flying back, Baoping looked behind him warily when he heard the noise. When he saw it was him, his eyes softened immediately: "Little brother."
Merfolk are naturally alluring; if they sincerely try to please them, it's hard for any creature to be indifferent to them.
Xing Zhengfei's expression relaxed, and he gave a soft "hmm" in response.
Can my younger brother swim? Can he breathe underwater?
Baoping is quite different from his father in this respect. His meticulous concern made Xing Zhengfei's lips curve into a slight smile: "You don't need to worry about these things. Lead the way."
Baoping jumped into the deep blue sea. His legs turned back into a fish tail when they touched the water, and he floated on the surface to wait.
Xing Zheng glanced at the moonlight overhead. Without the forest to block his view, he couldn't fly and could only dive underwater, slowing him down considerably.
Baoping couldn't stand it, so he suddenly bent the tail fin into a beautiful arc, turned around, grabbed his brother's hand, and swam forward with him.
It was a little slower, but I'm so happy!
Xing Zhengfei narrowed his eyes very slowly, a look he usually gave when deciding to kidnap a target—dangerous and malicious.
Seeing the exceptionally sharp claws on the hand that was leading him, Xing Zhengfei regretted acting in the dark. He didn't have many advantages in the water, such as now being led by the fish.
I am utterly incompetent.
He recalled the night he dealt with Ace; brothers killing each other was nothing unusual, but this fish probably wanted to kill him too.
Now I'm deliberately trying to lull him into a false sense of security.
Xing Zhengfei stared at Bao Ping's prominent shoulder blades. He noticed that Bao Ping's long, black hair was similar to Bao Ping's. Xing Zhengfei's hair had always been the same length; he couldn't bear to cut it. When he saw someone of the same sex with long hair, he would automatically feel a little more favorably toward them.
The seabed is very deep. At night, after reaching a depth of 100 meters, it becomes completely dark, and the only sound is the rushing water.
From night to day, Baoping could still keep swimming, but considering his younger brother's health, he stopped and brought him to the surface: "Take a rest for a while. Are you hungry? I'll catch some fish for you to eat. Do you want some shrimp?"
The shrimp is a bit sweet, and it would be nice to find bluefin tuna as well.
After he left, Xing Zhengfei flew into the air and let the sun dry his body, feeling a little annoyed by the heat.
I waited and waited, but no fish came.
