Post-apocalyptic mermaid stranded

The autumn wind is wrapped in the drizzle and it is a little bit cool. The thick clouds squeeze the horizon.The figures on the deck were constantly shuttling, occasionally yelling through the wind and rain, swaying a bit of enthusiasm in the empty sky and sea.

"The wind is blowing, so your hands and feet should be quicker!" The captain held the steering wheel with one hand, pointed in the wind and rain with the other, looked around with cloudy eyes, and suddenly shouted, "Cripple!"

Setting sail at sea is most afraid of wind and rain. As soon as night falls, the overwhelming waves will be swept up and pulled up, pulling the ship to bite. It is easy for a person to be swept away inadvertently. If you are unlucky, the whole ship will be broken up.As soon as the clouds settled down in the morning, the atmosphere of the whole ship became tense. Everyone was a little tired after holding on to it with trepidation, but there was still a night to go through, so they must not relax at this time.So as soon as he saw someone who was still in a daze, the captain wanted to lift his foot and kicked him to wake him up, but unfortunately he was a little far away.

The cripple who was tightening the rope seemed to have never heard of it, and kept bending over, with his chest tightly pressed against the railing on the right side of the ship, poking his head out like a turtle, not knowing what he was doing.

"Are you deaf or dumb? Lame!"

"Cripple!"

The captain became more and more angry, but the cripple still refused to turn around. The people who were busy behind him couldn't help but slap him and complained, "Why are you so dazed, I'm almost deaf from the roar."

The captain grabbed the person who passed by, handed over the steering wheel, and Kaka stepped on the leather boots towards the lame man.

"Captain!" The moment he slapped the back of his head, the cripple suddenly turned around. He didn't care to be surprised when he saw the captain standing behind him. A little out of tune, "Look, Captain, there are people over there!"

"The whole boat is full of people, what are you talking about?" The captain rolled his eyes, slapped the lame man on the back, and warned, "Hurry up and do your job, don't look around for nothing."

"Wait," seeing that the captain was about to leave, the cripple became anxious, grabbed his arm and pulled towards him, "Captain, look over there, there are really people!"

"You're pinching my flesh!" The captain couldn't help but wailed in pain from being caught, so he didn't care about anything else.

The cripple was blind, and he refused to let go of the person he was holding on to. He shook his hand a few times, his yells were louder than each other, and his eyes lit up, "It's a man, it's a man."

"Well, it's people."

The cripple's shoulders sank, and before he could react, the hand on the captain's arm had already been removed.

The man leaning against the plank of the boat was young, his eye sockets were slightly dark, which could not hide his fatigue, but his lacquered eyes were bright and smiling. His thin body was wrapped in long-sleeved trousers. The two people in the way swept aside, then turned their heads and shouted: "Let the boat go, save people."

Seeing the person coming, the cripple subconsciously shrank his shoulders, and took two steps back in embarrassment.Compared with the captain, the cripple was actually more afraid of Gu Baiqing, this first officer who always greeted people with a smile on his face, although he was different from the general sailor's thin body, but when it came to cruelty, even the cripple had heard of it.But Gu Baiqing's business ability is also known as being ruthless. He is very prestigious in the Eastern Continent, able to hold the line, and responsible in emergencies. All the captains like him, and the sailors are afraid of Gu Baiqing, but at the same time they are afraid of him. Competing for a place on the same boat as him, it was as if they had gained confidence in their hearts when they got on the line with Gu Baiqing.

"I'll go down." The cripple looked at Gu Baiqing with bright eyes, and when he looked over, his face turned red with excitement.

Gu Baiqing looked at him sideways, nodded his head slightly, and the lame man rushed out with a whoosh.

"Better obedient than a dog." The captain praised.

Gu Baiqing raised his eyelids and remained silent.

The captain glanced at him, and said casually: "Dogs that don't bark like to bite people. Have you heard of cripples? It's not a good thing to be sucked up by him. They will bite you every minute."

The rain on the wooden floor meanders, splashing in the sound of footsteps, and wet the trousers who come and go in a hurry.While talking, the cripple had already climbed down the rope, Gu Baiqing looked down, and saw that the boat that could only accommodate four people was already swinging backwards, about a hundred meters away, there were people who were dead or alive. Things are going up and down with the waves.

"Something's wrong." Gu Baiqing narrowed his eyes and quickly turned around, "Pull the rope!"

Some absent-minded captains were vigilant and leaned over to look out, only to see that the boat was approaching the unknown object, but the lame man did not return to the voyage, but stood in the middle of the boat and rushed to this side, waving his arms.

"Pull the rope!"

"pull!"

The rope tied to the stern of the boat was suddenly tense, and the lame man standing on the boat waving his arms desperately staggered and knelt down.

Gu Baiqing took the binoculars from the person around him, swept it down, immediately changed his face, and gestured to the captain. After the captain yelled to attract most people's attention, the boat was already approaching the sailboat.

"It's getting dark, you two go to take over the cripple's position." Gu Baiqing drove away the two people who were pulling the rope, and seeing that they had gone a little farther, he tightened the rope and jumped down.

With a plop, the cripple turned his head and saw Gu Baiqing who was swimming towards him, his panic and frightened heart gradually calmed down.

"..."

Holding the stern of the boat with both arms, even though Gu Baiqing had experienced many battles, his face was blue at this time, and his voice was a little nervous when he spoke: "Throw it down."

Maybe it was the presence of Gu Baiqing that gave him confidence suddenly. The cripple who was frightened and at a loss just now calmed down, not daring to look at the 'thing' still lying in the boat, hesitatingly whispered: "It seems to be dead, dead Yeah, there was no movement when it was just fished out—”

The unfinished words were interrupted by Gu Baiqing's cold stare, and the cripple looked away helplessly, not daring to speak any more.

Gu Baiqing looked straight at the cripple, and continued to speak for him: "Anyway, he's dead, so he can sell some money if he brings it back, right?"

Seeing the person in front of him timidly nodding his head, Gu Baiqing only felt the veins on his forehead twitch uneasy, wishing he could sweep a melon seed over to wake him up.But it can't, not now, if there is a commotion, the whole boat will have to be frightened by this mermaid.

"You can't take it on board." Gu Baiqing said slowly, thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, his eyes fell directly on the cripple's face, and his voice was very low, "They all live in groups, what do you understand? Is it gregarious?"

The light is getting darker and darker, and the clouds are sinking into the sea, just like the mermaid sleeping in the boat at this time, the upper body that is no different from the person falls in the boat, and the tail of the fish sinks below the water surface, trembling slightly with the surging waves to create water waves .The rain was becoming more and more intense, and it was dripping on the head, dripping down the neck along the hair, the cripple rubbed his hands, and only glanced at the mermaid, then hurriedly turned his head, not daring to think about how he pulled it into the boat just now, fingers As if the feeling of touch still remained, the chill penetrated into the bottom of my heart from the pores little by little.

They live in groups, and they don't need to be told by the research institute and the army. All surviving humans know it.They floated up from the deep sea in groups, swarming and jumping towards the coast, accompanied by roaring explosions, the mermaids always came with irreversible death.

But it was already dead, alone in the sea.The cripple's confused mind seemed to be frozen, he didn't dare to look at the mermaid or Gu Baiqing, he lowered his head and shoulders, letting the rain hit his head.

Gu Baiqing couldn't understand what the cripple was muttering, and was worried about the sailors who were still busy on the big ship, so he resolutely turned over on the boat, kicked the mermaid into the sea, grabbed the oar that the cripple was holding on to, and quickly Leading the man in the direction of the ship, he said, "You hear me—what you just saw was a dead body, and it was rotting, so you left it where it was. Cripple! Did you hear that?" "

"Listen, I heard it." The cripple was so frightened that he quickly replied.

When he pulled the rope and boarded the big boat, the cripple seemed to have not returned to his soul, his lips were pale and his face was blue, his head was sullen and he kept silent. His strange appearance attracted many people to whisper.

"You said he was terrified by the dead body, is that true or not?" The captain stared and glanced around, forcing back all the taunting voices, and moved closer to Gu Baiqing who was wiping himself.

"It's not true, but it must be true." Gu Baiqing tossed his hair irritably, his wet clothes were uncomfortable against his body, which made him frown unconsciously, "It's expected to arrive at noon tomorrow. shore?"

The captain nodded.

"Is there a power engine hidden under the cabin?" Gu Baiqing glanced at him with a half-smile, and after the captain turned his head stiffly, he said seriously, "We must dock early, not early or late, at two o'clock in the middle of the night pier."

"This is...?" The captain didn't bother to ask about the engine, and looked worriedly at the distraught cripple in the distance, but asked Gu Baiqing, "What did the cripple find?"

"Trouble, but it's also an opportunity." Gu Baiqing threw the wet towel to the captain, "Aren't you curious about the research institute? Your chance has come."

"Good job." The captain's eyes lit up, and he patted Gu Baiqing's shoulder in relief, "I really saw the right person."

……

He was not mistaken, Gu Baiqing really wanted to torture him to death.

"Have they all left?" The captain huddled on the side of the ship, his face was washed by the rain, and he couldn't open his eyes. He tasted the salty taste when he opened his mouth and tongue, which made him sneeze repeatedly, but he didn't dare to stand up. Holding the thick hemp rope stiffly, he can only speak by roaring.Gu Baiqing said that whether he could make a fortune depends on this rope, even if his whole body was trembling uncomfortably, he didn't dare to relax a bit.

The fine raindrops in the daytime have become a curtain, overwhelmingly knocking down the deck, making a thumping sound, the sea surface is also swept up by the strong wind, the sailboat anchored near the port is shaken by the impact, and the splash on the face has long been separated. It's not clear whether it's rain or sea water, but the wet clothes are cold, making people shiver.

Gu Baiqing, however, seemed to be made of steel, holding the mast in one hand, and holding the binoculars in the other, standing upright in the wind and rain without fear, watching the pier under the cover of night.

The sailors walked shoulder to shoulder, and the people who came to register the ship quickly disappeared. Gu Baiqing waited patiently for another three minutes, then climbed off the mast, walked quickly to the small corner where the captain shrank, and ordered: "Everyone is gone, quickly pull the rope up."

"Who is the captain?" The captain gritted his teeth, hunched his back, dragged his stiff legs, pulled the thick hemp rope back a little bit, and was very dissatisfied with the person standing leisurely behind him, "You can't help me ?”

"No." Gu Baiqing looked at him condescendingly, "I'm helping you, don't dawdle."

……What the hell!

He didn't even know what was behind the rope, how did Gu Baiqing act as if he was the mastermind?The captain's mouth was salty, his heart was bitter, and endless bitterness shone in his tearful eyes.
