Soon, 5 minutes passed!
"It's a little embarrassing to talk about this, but I don't know where I am."
The red flames danced, casting flickering shadows 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 of the oil would drip into the fire, and the flames would burn even brighter.
"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 discontinued, 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.
Furthermore, Shen Lianqi was like this.
After all, they had just met. Would it be rude to ask him "that thing" directly?
Lin Sanjiu tried her best to look at him and finally shifted her gaze away from him. She pretended to be nonchalant as she twirled the half-cooked meat in her hand. As she didn't have a metal rod or a wooden stick, she took out some long fish bones as a substitute and skewered the meat on them. After that, she looked straight ahead and asked, "Have you been living at the bottom of the sea for a month?"
"Yes," Shen Lianqi said casually, "This is a very deep trench. Without my shoes, it's too difficult to climb out of the cliff which is almost 10,000 meters high. Fortunately, there are some mutated marine creatures here, so I won't starve to death. Besides, after a long time, I feel that life at the bottom of the sea is quite relaxing. "
"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 has a light-emitting device on its chin to lure its prey closer … "Shen Lianqi explained as he gestured with his chin." When I first arrived here, I was lucky. This arowana didn't notice me. Instead, it attacked another mutated … cough, who knows what it was. As soon as the light source lit up, the other thing seemed to be enchanted, and it foolishly walked step by step into the mouth of the arowana … Seeing how excited it was at that time, I believe that in its eyes, the head of the arowana might have turned into a female nest, and it was lured in for sex. Then, the arowana bit it in half. "
Lin Sanjiu suddenly recalled that she had heard that some deep-sea creatures used glowing devices to lure their prey. She shuddered at the thought. Compared to those creatures, she was too small. The arowana didn't need to bite her. Otherwise, in her dazed state, she would have been finished in one bite.
"Speaking of this, Miss Lin, you're too amazing! Such a big arowana died in just a few seconds … "Shen Lianqi sighed," You said it was because of … Versu Poison? "
"That's right." Lin Sanjiu nodded.
When she walked into the "McDonald's", the glass door opened automatically. She walked in without touching anything. It was only when the floor tilted and Lin Sanjiu fell to the ground that her skin came in contact with the mouth of the "McDonald's", which was the arowana. Hence, the arowana died from the [Versu Poison] six seconds later.
"Everything happened too fast. I still haven't reacted," Lin Sanjiu smiled sheepishly.
"Haha! I see that you're not slow when it comes to grilling the fish! " Shen Lianqi joked. Then, he smacked his lips as if it was a pity, "Sigh, this fish was poisoned to death by you. Only you can eat it …"
Lin Sanjiu shifted her body uncomfortably.
[Why are you still thinking about eating the fish now?] This question rolled past her heart, and she had to force herself not to ask it out loud.
"Oh, by the way, you can wear this shirt. Even though there's no one here, a girl can't always be without a shirt," Shen Lianqi said as he took off his shirt. He smiled, "I don't need it anyway."
Lin Sanjiu hesitated for a moment before she took the shirt and put it on. Suddenly, a strong fishy smell of the sea filled her nostrils.
When the fish was almost done grilling, Lin Sanjiu grabbed a handful of sea salt and sprinkled it on the meat. Immediately, a salty, fishy arowana wafted out from the fish. The deep-sea arowana was very ugly, and its meat was coarse and hard to chew. However, Lin Sanjiu, who had not eaten meat for almost a year, still found the arowana delicious.
After eating one kilogram of the 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 thinking for a while, she finally made up her mind and asked the question that had occupied her mind for a long time.
"Shen Lianqi, why … did you turn into a fish?"
It might not be appropriate to say that he was a fish.
Although Shen Lianqi had two gills on his cheeks, his feet had turned into two fish tails, and a patch of greenish-white fish scales had spread along 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 under 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 composed. He was very different from the shrewd yet timid person she knew.
"By the way, you reminded me of something. Come, let me bring you to where I live. Maybe we can meet some of my friends there." 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 sea? "
Lin Sanjiu was full of doubts, but she still stood up. She turned the few large pieces of 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. The hull of the ship isn't damaged, so I live there now."
Lin Sanjiu jumped into the water and paddled with her hands and feet. She wasn't a good swimmer, so she started bobbing up and down after swimming for a while. She even choked a few mouthfuls of water. 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 knot, and with a flick of her tail, the two of them glided out of the water smoothly.
"See, I told you that it's very convenient for me to live like this," he laughed, a little pleased with himself.
Lin Sanjiu didn't know how to answer him.
Shen Lianqi seemed to be very comfortable with his current appearance. Perhaps, it was his own choice to become a Murloc. 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 was pulled along by Shen Lianqi as he swam in the dark sea for a while. Suddenly, she heard Shen Lianqi say, "We're here." She then took out her [Ability Polishing Agent] and raised it high above her head. The silver light from the bottle shone far into the distance.
Amidst the cold light, there was indeed a huge white liner sandwiched between two rocks. Half of the liner was exposed to the air while the other half was submerged in the dark water. The liner was probably sunk by the waves. Even though its hull was damaged, it still looked new. It seemed to be a sightseeing cruise ship.
The two of them stopped under the rocks and climbed to the top. Then, they jumped onto the deck of the liner.
Shen Lianqi had been living here for more than a month. His two fishtails swayed back and forth as he introduced the place to Lin Sanjiu. "The guest rooms are all submerged. The captain's cabin and the dining hall are still exposed. Oh, by the way, I found quite a few bottles of fresh water in the pilot's cabin. It should be enough for both of us. "
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 bottles of water out and stacked them up in the captain's cabin. This was a foreign liner, and the water was also of a foreign brand. The bottle design was quite novel, but the label had been soaked. Lin Sanjiu couldn't wait to open a bottle. The cool mineral water flowed down her gullet and into her body. She immediately felt that her internal organs had been nourished.
She felt that she hadn't drunk water for a long time. She couldn't bear to put down the half-finished bottle of mineral water. She converted it into a card and walked to the deck with Shen Lianqi.
"You take a look around here first," he said with a smile. "I'll go look for my friends."
He probably saw her expression, so he quickly added, "Don't worry, they are all good people. They have helped me a lot since I came here. You take a look around, I'm leaving! "
"Are they other humans who have fallen to 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 dove into the water.
Lin Sanjiu had no choice but to take a look around like he said. She raised the [Ability Polishing Agent] and walked around the ship twice.
The novelty of seeing a sunken ship for the first time gradually wore off.
With one less person beside her, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence. The darkness gradually enveloped her. With every step she took, the sound of her footsteps would echo in the empty metal ship. Lin Sanjiu felt empty and lonely when she thought that she was at the bottom of the sea, ten thousand meters deep.
"Did Shen Lianqi spend a whole month alone? He really needed some willpower. "
Lin Sanjiu didn't want to leave anymore, 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.
However, before she could figure it out, Shen Lianqi's excited voice came from outside the ship, "Miss Lin, my friends are here!"
