Zhou Jing and Abby swung their fishtails, and the blue waves in the small pool tumbled violently, stirring up a majestic splash on the pool wall, and even overflowing out of the pool.
Zhang Zian and the elfins took a few steps back, staying away from the pool to avoid the splash. They could only see two blurry streamlined figures, one blue and one green, entering the connected pool from the small pool and then disappearing.
Snowy had already left through the side door to go to the visitor area for a live broadcast. Only he and the invisible elfins were left in the room. Since this was the place where the mermaids changed their clothes and entered the water, there was obviously no surveillance.
Old Time Tea sighed. "It's not easy for them."
"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear the weight. Their high salary did not fall from the sky." Zhang Zian nodded.
The domestic mermaids often did not wear such a professional and heavy simulated fishtail, but a relatively thin layer of translucent plastic soft shell, about ten pounds, and less than two meters long. Of course, the visual effect was not as realistic as Zhou Jing and Abby's mermaid suits. It was not an exaggeration to say that the special effects were 50 cents. After coming ashore, they could even see the color of their bikinis through the fishtail …
In addition, the water temperature in the domestic aquarium would not be as low as in San Francisco, where there was a cold current, so there was a reason for the high salary here. Capitalists were not fools, and they would not give high salaries for no reason.
Zhang Zian sat on the sofa, bowing his head to watch the performance of Zhou Jing and Abby through Snowy's live broadcast.
Snowy had arrived at the visitor area, where many tourists were waiting for the appearance of the mermaids. Many of them were children, who had come to see the mermaids' performance, and their eyes were shining with excitement.
It was a tall, floor-to-ceiling tempered glass that was also part of the large pool. As a warm-up for the mermaids' performance, several employees wearing diving suits and carrying oxygen cylinders were scraping the glass with professional brushes, scraping away algae and plankton attached to the glass, making the glass more transparent and allowing tourists to see more clearly.
The venue was relatively dim, just like the cinema before the opening of a movie. Light shone from the surface of the water into the water, refracted, and formed mottled light and shadow in the water with the ripples of the sea waves.
The bottom of the sea was made up of reefs and beaches. Colorful starfish, sea cucumbers, and shellfish were lying on the beach. There were also prawns and crabs wandering on the bottom of the sea or hiding in the sand, waiting for prey to pass over their heads.
Among the reefs, life types were more abundant. Many nameless sea anemones were wandering among the reefs, worms and sandworms were poking their heads in the crevices of the reefs, and conches and oysters were crawling slowly on the reefs.
From time to time, there would be all kinds of strange fish swimming nearby. Some fish would stay far away from the divers, while others would curiously swim very close to the divers to observe at a close distance. Only when they lost interest would they swim away with a flick of their tails.
Large but gentle Molas moved slowly like old people. Silver sardines migrated in groups like a storm. Streamlined, muscular bluefin tuna swam back and forth like lightning. Charmingly naive sea turtles curiously turned their heads to look at tourists through the glass. Sneaky tiger-striped catsharks swam close to the beach, swallowing small invertebrates hidden in the sand into their mouths.
The colorful underwater world was too much for the eyes to take in, but each strange animal could only attract people's interest for a short time. This was because animals generally did not swim too close to the glass wall, so they looked blurry. Most people could not accurately name each creature. They only knew that there was a shark that did not eat humans, and that there was a tuna that had delicious and expensive meat, and so on … Children were even more eager to see the mermaids.
After the divers cleaned the glass wall, they waved to the tourists and lined up to swim away. There was more than one glass wall in the aquarium. They had a lot of other work to do.
Tourists who had come to see the show before reminded the children to pay attention that the mermaids were coming.
There was a six or seven year old white girl next to her. She had been talking to her mother about her yearning for mermaids and said that she wanted to be a mermaid in the future. Her mother smiled and nodded in agreement.
If her mother knew the hardships that mermaids had to endure, she would not have agreed so easily.
Snowy and the netizens in the live broadcast room also widened their eyes, looking for traces of mermaids in the sea. They were all worried for Zhou Jing.
"Over there! Look! "A little boy screamed.
"Coming! Coming! The mermaids are coming! "
Before the voice died away, two fairy-like mermaids appeared from above and then dived into the deep water. One of them was an Asian, and the other was a Caucasian. One had a blue fishtail, and the other had a green fishtail. However, they were equally graceful and soft in the water.
After putting on the mermaid costume, the legs could not exert strength, and they mainly relied on the strength of the waist and abdomen to swing their fishtails up and down to move forward.
Zhou Jing and Abby appeared in front of the tourists almost against the glass wall. The tourists could even see the visible waistline of their abdominal muscles contracting.
The tourists rushed to the glass wall, especially the children. They reached out their hands to the mermaids through the glass wall, and the children pressed their palms against the glass wall. The parents took the opportunity to take pictures of the children as souvenirs with the mermaids.
Zhou Jing's eyes, hidden behind the diving goggles, turned, saw Snowy holding up her mobile phone, and waved to her.
Snowy saw that she seemed to be in a good state and was somewhat relieved. She also waved to her with one hand.
Zhou Jing and Abby had been working together for a long time, and they had already formed a tacit understanding. They floated up together to breathe, and then sank together. When they sank to the edge of the glass wall, the two separated, each swimming in a round arc, and met together at the edge of the glass wall. The swimming trajectory merged into a heart shape to express their gratitude to the audience.
The children and adults applauded and thanked them for their wonderful performance.
They floated up again, took a breath, and then sank again. This time, they sank around each other and reached out a hand to hold each other, like a double helix of DNA …
They skillfully choreographed the process of floating up for breath into the dance, so that the tourists were unconsciously immersed in the wonderful performance.
Snowy could not concentrate on watching their performance, and she was always counting silently in her heart. Once they held their breath for close to a minute, her heart would be in her throat, and when she saw them floating up for breath, her heart would fall back to her stomach.
The netizens in the live broadcast room who knew the inside story were also very worried.
Because the water was too cold, the mermaids' performance time was not long. According to the plan, it was only 15 minutes, and they only needed to float up about ten times.
Fifteen minutes was enough. All the tricks they could perform in the water could be performed in fifteen minutes.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up! "
Snowy counted the number of times they floated up, wishing that time could pass.
