"It's a little embarrassing to say this, but I don't know where I am."
The red flames danced and cast a flickering shadow on Lin Sanjiu's face. Due to the high temperature, the oil seeped out of the meat, making a sizzling sound. From time to time, some oil would drip into the fire, and the flames would rise even higher.
"Plus, I'm not familiar with this place, so I didn't expect to fall directly into the bottom of the sea after jumping 300 kilometers to the south." Speaking of this, Shen Lianqi smiled bitterly and touched the pair of shoes in his hand with great heartache. "Even though this is an old version that the Munitions Factory has stopped producing, it still sells for a high price on the black market. I didn't expect that it would be ruined by being soaked in seawater … Sigh, when the Munitions Factory designed it, they probably didn't expect that someone would wear it and jump into the sea."
Lin Sanjiu didn't expect to meet Shen Lianqi at the bottom of the sea at a depth of 10,000 meters.
Moreover … Shen Lianqi was like this.
After all, both of them had just met. Wasn't it a little rude to ask him "that thing" directly?
Lin Sanjiu tried her best to shift her gaze away from him and acted as if nothing had happened. She twirled the half-cooked meat in her hand. Since she didn't have a metal rod or a wooden stick, she used some fish bones as a substitute and skewered the meat on the meat. After that, she asked, "Have you been living at the bottom of the sea for a month?"
"Yes." Shen Lianqi's expression was very natural. "This is a very deep trench. Without the escape shoes, it's impossible to climb out of the cliff that is nearly 10,000 meters high … But fortunately, there are some mutated marine creatures, so we won't starve to death. After a long time, I feel that life under the sea is quite leisurely."
"So, that strange big fish just now … mutated?" Lin Sanjiu frowned and thought for a moment, "But why did I see a McDonald's?"
"Have you heard of the deep-sea arowana? It's a creature with a light on its chin. It's used to lure its prey closer … "Shen Lianqi said as he gestured with his chin," When I first came here, I was lucky that this arowana didn't notice me. Instead, it attacked another mutated … ahem, who knows what it is. As soon as the light source lit up, something happened to the other thing. It foolishly walked step by step into the arowana's mouth as if it was enchanted … Judging from how excited it was at the time, I guessed that in its eyes, the arowana's head seemed to have transformed into a female nest. It lured it in to beg for sex, and then the arowana bit it in two. "
"It seems that the power of this arowana is to let people see what they want to see." Lin Sanjiu shuddered when she thought of this. She was probably too small compared to these deep-sea creatures, so the arowana didn't need to bite her. Otherwise, with her dazed state at that time, she would have been finished in one bite.
"Speaking of this, Miss Lin, you're too amazing! It was such a big arowana. He died within seconds … "Shen Lianqi sighed." You said it was because of the Wu Su poison? "
"That's right," Lin Sanjiu nodded.
When she walked into the "McDonald's", the glass door opened automatically. She just walked in and didn't touch anything. It was only when the floor tilted and Lin Sanjiu fell to the ground that her skin came into direct contact with the mouth of the "McDonald's", which was the arowana's mouth. Six seconds later, the arowana died from the [Wu Su poison]. If that's the case … You're lucky.
"Everything happened too fast. I still haven't reacted to it." Lin Sanjiu smiled sheepishly.
"Haha! I see that you're not slow when it comes to grilling fish! " Shen Lianqi joked. Then, he smacked his lips as if it was a pity, "Sigh, this arowana was poisoned to death by you. You're the only one who can eat it … "
Lin Sanjiu broke out in a cold sweat.
"Is it really okay for you to still think about eating fish now?" This question popped up in her mind, but she resisted the urge to ask it out loud.
"Oh, by the way, you can wear my top. Even though there's no one here, a girl can't just wear a bra all the time." Shen Lianqi took off his shirt as he spoke. "I don't need it anyway."
Lin Sanjiu hesitated for a moment before she took the shirt and put it on. Immediately, a strong fishy smell of the sea permeated her entire body.
When the fish was almost done grilling, Lin Sanjiu grabbed a handful of sea salt and sprinkled it on the meat. Immediately, a salty and fishy smell of meat wafted out from the fish. The deep-sea arowana was very ugly, and its meat was a little coarse and hard to chew. However, Lin Sanjiu, who hadn't eaten meat for almost a year, still found it delicious.
After eating about one kilogram of fish, Lin Sanjiu finally stopped. It wasn't that she was full, but she really couldn't eat anymore when faced with Shen Lianqi's current state.
After some thought, she finally made up her mind. She opened her mouth and asked the question that had been occupying her mind for a long time.
"Shen Lianqi, why … did you turn into a fish?"
It wasn't quite appropriate to call him a fish.
Even though Shen Lianqi's cheeks had grown two gills that looked like fish's gills, his legs had turned into two fish tails, and there was a greenish-white fish scale that crept up his calves, making his legs look like the lower body of a mermaid with two forked limbs, he still retained his human form.
"Haha!" Shen Lianqi scratched his head and laughed sheepishly, "I wasn't used to it at first, but after some time, I realized that it's really convenient!"
"No, it's not a matter of convenience …" Lin Sanjiu stared blankly at him as he raised his hand and revealed a fin underneath his arm.
Even though half of his body had almost turned into a fish, for some reason, Lin Sanjiu felt that his personality had changed a lot compared to the time when they were at the pier. He was more cheerful and calm. He was very different from the shrewd and nimble but very timid person she knew.
"By the way, you reminded me of something. Come, let me bring you to where I live. You might even meet a few of my friends …" Shen Lianqi suddenly stood up. The two fishtails that replaced his legs looked very strong as they supported his body steadily.
"Friends? How could there be friends in the depths of the sea? "
Lin Sanjiu was full of doubts, but she still stood up. She turned a few large pieces of the dragonfish meat into cards and kept them. Then, she followed Shen Lianqi to the water's edge.
"There is a sunken ship at the back of this area. It's stuck between the rocks, so the hull of the ship isn't damaged much. I live there now. "
Lin Sanjiu jumped into the water with a splash. She listened to his words as she paddled with her hands and feet. She wasn't a good swimmer, so she started to sink after swimming for a while. Shen Lianqi couldn't stand it anymore, so he gestured for Lin Sanjiu to tie a knot on his waist with his shirt. She held onto the other end of the rope. With a flick of his tail, the two of them glided smoothly through the water.
"Look. I told you that it's very convenient for me to move around like this. "He laughed a little proudly.
Lin Sanjiu didn't know how to answer him.
Shen Lianqi seemed to be very comfortable with his current appearance. From the looks of it, he might have chosen to become a Murloc, and he might have used one of the Mystical Items from the Twelve Worlds Centrum.
In the darkness, for a moment, there was only the sound of the waves being parted. Lin Sanjiu swam in the dark water for a while. Suddenly, she heard Shen Lianqi say, "We're here." She took out the [Ability Polishing Agent] and turned it into a card. Then, she raised the bottle high above her head. The silver light from the bottle shone into the distance.
Amidst the cold light, there was indeed a huge passenger ship that had been soaked in the water until it was pale white. It was sandwiched between two rocks. Half of it was exposed to the air while the other half was submerged in the dark water. The passenger ship was probably sunk by the waves when the temperature was rising. Even though the ship's hull was damaged, it still looked new. It seemed to be a sightseeing cruise ship.
Lin Sanjiu and Lin Sanjiu stopped at the bottom of the rock. They climbed to the top of the rock and jumped onto the deck.
Shen Lianqi had stayed here for more than a month, so he knew the interior of the ship very well. His two fishtails swayed back and forth. He introduced the ship to Lin Sanjiu with great familiarity, "The guest rooms are all submerged. The captain's cabin and the dining hall are still exposed … Oh, right, I found a lot of bottled water in the control room. It's enough for the two of us to drink … "
Lin Sanjiu's eyes lit up, "That's great! I was worried just now. I thought I would have to drink fish blood to survive. "
Shen Lianqi had already moved all the precious bottled water out of the cabin and stacked them in the captain's cabin. This was a foreign passenger ship. The water was also of a foreign brand, and the design of the bottle was quite novel. However, the label had been soaked. Lin Sanjiu couldn't wait to open a bottle. The cool mineral water flowed through her gullet and into her body. She immediately felt that her internal organs had been nourished.
Lin Sanjiu felt that she hadn't drunk water for a long time. She couldn't bear to put down the half-finished mineral water, so she converted it into a card and walked to the deck with Shen Lianqi.
"You can walk around here first," he said with a smile, "I'm going to look for my friends."
When he saw her expression, he quickly added, "Don't worry, they are all good people. They have helped me a lot since I came here. You can look around, I'm leaving! "
"Are they other humans who got stranded at the bottom of the sea for various reasons?" Lin Sanjiu had a question in her mouth, but before she could ask it, Shen Lianqi had already dived into the water. She had no choice.
Lin Sanjiu had no choice but to do as he said and look around. She raised the [Ability Polishing Agent] and walked around the ship twice.
The novelty of seeing a sunken ship for the first time soon wore off.
With one less person beside her, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence. The darkness gradually enveloped her. With every step he took, the sound of his footsteps would echo in the empty iron ship. When Lin Sanjiu thought that she was at the bottom of the sea, she felt empty and lonely.
"Did Shen Lianqi spend a month alone like this?"
She didn't want to leave, so she kept the [Ability Polishing Agent] and took out the mineral water card. After she converted it into a card, Lin Sanjiu suddenly let out a sound of surprise. She felt that something was wrong.
But before she could think it through, Shen Lianqi's excited voice came from outside the ship, "Miss Lin, my friends are here!" (To be continued).
