Lin Sanjiu, who knew nothing about her companions, was at a depth of ten thousand meters. She was at a loss as to what to do.
Shen Lianqi and his friends were standing in front of her. Logically speaking, they should greet each other politely …
Shen Lianqi appeared to be in high spirits. Lin Sanjiu could tell that he was very happy to introduce new friends to his old friends.
However, Lin Sanjiu couldn't bring herself to smile.
She had already raised the [Ability Polishing Agent] up high. Under the silvery light, the three dripping wet … people could be said to be every detail of their bodies could be said to be in full view. Even if he didn't notice anything wrong earlier, he should have noticed it by now. However, Shen Lianqi acted as if nothing had happened.
After all, his so-called "friends" shouldn't be three swollen corpses, right?
To be more specific, they weren't just three floating corpses.
His original body had already turned into a swollen vesicle. Every time he moved, the sound of splashing water would be accompanied by an extremely pungent stench that was filled with water vapor. Obviously, these three people were once part of the passenger ship. They had perished along with the ship during the tsunami. From their "gigantic" faces, Lin Sanjiu could see that they had high noses and deep eyes. Obviously, they weren't Asians. The reason why the floating corpses could still move, laugh and talk was probably because of the long mouthparts on their faces.
Aquatic duoluozhongs.
These five words flashed across Lin Sanjiu's mind.
She waved her hand and summoned a longer, sharper mouthpart with sharp teeth at the front. She put on a cautious expression.
Shen Lianqi frowned, "Miss Lin, what are you doing?"
Before Shen Lianqi could say anything, the middle-aged plump man standing in the middle patted Shen Lianqi's shoulder. He smiled and said, "Hey, this is very normal. It's inevitable that she will be frightened when she sees people like us … "
A woman with maroon hair on the right also spoke, "Your surname is Lin, right? Don't worry. We mean no harm. Even though we have become like this, our hearts haven't changed. We are still human. "
Her voice was gentle, but when Lin Sanjiu saw her, she caressed her face. Immediately, a piece of soaked flesh fell off, and he almost vomited.
After soaking in the scalding seawater for so long, it was no wonder that something like this happened …
The 'person' who was in the worst condition and couldn't even tell if it was a man or a woman didn't say anything. Instead, Shen Lianqi took a step forward and said eagerly, "Miss Lin. Listen to me. Don't all the duoluozhongs in this world look horrifying in the beginning? But as more people feed on them, their bodies will gradually recover. I've seen quite a few of them on the land, and they look no different from a living person … "
At this point, he pointed at the three aquatic duoluozhong beside him and said in a sincere tone, "But look at them! No matter if it's Miss Hannah or Big Brother Hank, they haven't recovered at all. This means that they haven't consumed anyone! "
"That's because there's no one for them to feed on!" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help shouting.
"What about me?" Shen Lianqi patted his chest. "I've been here for more than a month. They didn't do anything to me! "
Lin Sanjiu really couldn't answer that question.
Seeing that Lin Sanjiu was speechless, the duoluozhong called Hannah sighed, "Miss Lin, I hope you won't judge a book by its cover. As time passes, you will realize that we are definitely not what you think we are. "
"That's right, Miss Lin. Put away your weapon first." Shen Lianqi was having a headache as well. He turned to the duoluozhong whose body and face had turned into a pile of jelly and ordered, "Da De, go and drag that prawn out. Let's have dinner together. Let's talk while we eat — Miss Lin, is this alright? "
It seemed that he hoped that Lin Sanjiu would give his friends a chance …
Sure enough, Da De turned and left. Hannah and Hank also left, completely ignoring Lin Sanjiu's vigilant look. They acted as if they were in their own home. One of them went to the kitchen to get some cooking utensils while the other sat on the deck, trying to start a fire. Apparently, they had done this many times. Lin Sanjiu, who was holding her mouthpiece, felt a little awkward.
"Miss Lin, don't worry." Shen Lianqi came to her side and comforted her in a low voice. "If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have been able to adapt to life in the ocean so quickly … I trust them a lot. Besides, Miss Hannah is the most gentle and kindest woman I have ever met … "
Lin Sanjiu shot a glance at him. At this moment, the fire on the other side lit up half of the deck. "Is it because of the fire?" Lin Sanjiu thought to herself, feeling a little uncertain.
After some thought, she decided to go with the flow and observe the situation. She nodded and followed Shen Lianqi's fishtail to the duoluozhong's side. Finally, she sat down beside the fire.
Hank immediately whistled happily. If the skin around his mouthpiece wasn't full of bubbles, his whistle might have been even louder.
After a while, Da De walked over with a snow-white prawn that was as long as a human. With every step he took, he left a black mud-like mark on the ground. When he dragged the prawn, it was covered with human tissues that had been soaked in the mud.
Shen Lianqi cheered as if he didn't see it. He took out a knife and cut the prawn's shell. It was obvious that this wasn't his first time eating this kind of prawn. After a while, the prawn's shell was peeled off and the dirt inside was removed. Then, he cut the prawn into strips and put them into the pot.
He also cut a few big pieces of raw prawn meat and mixed it with blood and internal organs. He placed them in front of the duoluozhong for them to suck.
The prawn was much tastier than the deep-sea arowana. However, Lin Sanjiu didn't have any appetite when she looked at the three lifeless faces. She quickly put down the bowl in this strange atmosphere.
Hannah asked eagerly, "Is it cooked in seawater? You don't like it? Come and drink some water. "As he spoke, he took out a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Lin Sanjiu.
The water was the same as the one she drank before. Lin Sanjiu guessed that Hank had found it in the pilot's cabin.
Lin Sanjiu had mixed feelings about being treated so thoughtfully by a duoluozhong. She suppressed the strong sense of distrust in her heart and tried to twist the cap. The cap immediately made a light click, indicating that no one had opened it before. She felt Shen Lianqi looking at her. Only then did Lin Sanjiu take a sip.
"Oh, didn't I sense something wrong just now?"
Lin Sanjiu frowned as she drank the water.
At that moment, she brought up the topic of "what's deeper?" The person beside her and the three duoluozhong were already chatting enthusiastically, giving Lin Sanjiu some space to ponder. While Lin Sanjiu was thinking, she took out the card with the half-empty bottle of water and glanced at it casually.
When her gaze fell on the line of words [Mermaid Cultivation Liquid], she felt a chill run down her spine. A mouthful of cool water slid down her throat into her body.
"Oh, right. When I saw this card, I felt that its name was a little too long for a bottle of water …"
Lin Sanjiu was shocked. She coughed violently until her face turned red. At the same time, she thought to herself.
"This water … Does Shen Lianqi know about it?"
Hana was shocked by Lin Sanjiu's reaction. She rushed forward to pat her back, but before she could touch Shen Lianqi, her arm was grabbed by Shen Lianqi, "Don't touch her!"
Hana and the other two were a little confused.
Shen Lianqi's face turned red again as he held Miss Hana's arm, which was swollen from the blisters. Then, he told Lin Sanjiu about the [Versu Poison] in her body, "So, so, you will die if you come into contact with it."
Lin Sanjiu coughed so hard that she couldn't speak. In her heart, she was cursing that blabbermouth Shen Lianqi to death.
Even though Hana's face was covered by the swollen flesh, she could still see the change in her expression. She covered her mouth and stood up. She was shocked and a little dazed. No one knew what she was thinking.
Looking at Hana's expression, Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat. She suppressed the itch in her throat and smiled at them, "That's right. You guys must be careful. Don't touch me by accident. It only takes a few seconds for [Versu Poison] to kill a person. "
The duoluozhong called Hank responded and fell into silence. Perhaps it was because his face was too swollen, the Da De couldn't speak. Thereupon, for a moment, there was a subtle silence around the fire.
The only person who didn't notice anything was Shen Lianqi. He picked up his bowl and said with a smile, "Today's prawns are tastier than usual." Then, he gobbled down another bowl.
Lin Sanjiu, who was sitting in the middle of the group, glanced at them. She didn't say anything. She just calmly waited for an opportunity to examine the card. She clutched the card in her hand. She felt her palms were wet.
"Should I find an excuse to leave first?"
Just as she thought of this, Hank moved first. He stood up and took another bottle of water. He handed it to Shen Lianqi, "Here, drink some water."
Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat. She instinctively stopped Shen Lianqi, who was reaching for the water. She turned to Hank and forced a smile, "Um … don't you guys need to drink?"
Three ghastly pale faces turned to look at her at the same time. Just when her heart skipped a beat and she was on guard, Shen Lianqi, who was sitting on the other side, gulped down a few mouthfuls of water. After he was done, he put the bottle down and wiped his mouth. He smiled, "Brother Hank and the others don't need it. Isn't it convenient? It's different from us … Haha, if Brother Hank didn't lead me to this water, I would have died of thirst … "
The plump middle-aged man turned to Lin Sanjiu.
"Miss Lin, you don't drink much water? Have a few more sips. "(To be continued.)

This world will end in a few chapters. Looking at the kids here, I want to ask, are you guys afraid of supernatural stories?
Oh my god! I forgot to say this when I sent the message just now, so I quickly added: For those who don't know what the view of giants is, please don't search! Don't search! Don't! Want! Search!
Listen to people's advice and eat your fill … Don't ask me how I learned this lesson!
Also … Please don't ask me questions like "Why do you guys speak Mandarin when you're a foreigner". There's no other reason.
It's just that the author is capricious! Not only foreigners, even people from other worlds speak Mandarin. How did the song go again? The whole world speaks Chinese …
