Javier swam in without hesitation.

The basement was very dark, not even a ray of light came in, but Javier's vision in the water was also extremely sensitive, and he entered the basement flicking his fish tail.

The space in the basement is not wide, so this is very beneficial for the little mermaid, who can have a clear view of the situation inside.

But in Javier's subconscious mind, he never expected to find Jian Chen here.

soon.

The figure of the little mermaid paused.

At that moment, his breathing almost stopped.

In the sight of the little mermaid, a figure floated in the basement that was completely flooded with water.

——The man had his eyes closed tightly, his eyelashes were long, and his figure was thin and beautiful.

However, as if he had completely lost consciousness, the young man didn't even resist in the water, his soft hair sank in the light blue deep sea, thin and fragile, like a torn painting.

Javier made an indistinct sound, anxious and terrified, and quickly swam to the young man's side.

The little mermaid embraced the young man, quickly left the basement, and swam to the surface of the water.

Soon, the drenched humans were dragged ashore by Javier.

The second floor of the villa was not invaded by sea water. After carefully placing the humans away, the little mermaid began to instinctively detect the youth's vital signs.

Just after exploring, Javier's pupils trembled slowly.

... Humans have lost their breath.

Javier touched his heartbeat, felt the pulsation of the blood vessels in his neck, and tried to detect his breathing, but found that no matter what methods he tried, he could not feel any hope or breath.

Javier panicked.

He didn't seem to be able to digest the scene at hand, but the instinctive reaction made the little mermaid react quickly from the panic and bewilderment. He began to perform artificial respiration on humans and press the heart.

But the flustered tears seemed unstoppable, pattering down on the back of his hand and the cheeks of the humans.

After a long, long time, the young man still did not wake up.

The little mermaid didn't seem to be aware of the fact that the young man died. Subconsciously, he felt that Jian Chen had drowned and had a head injury. He hadn't woken up yet, and Jian Chen was sick.

When you are sick, you need to see a doctor.

That's right, doctor!

Javier decided to leave the villa after this idea came to him.

But Jian Chen can't swim, and can no longer touch the sea water, so Javier decided to find something similar to a boat, or a plank.

So the little mermaid removed the wooden door of the bedroom on the second floor of the villa, and put the human on it carefully.

Just like this, Javier, who pushed the small wooden boat, sailed flexibly in the water, and within a few hours after the disaster, the whole city was in endless despair and despair.

Not to mention finding a doctor, even ordinary passers-by are hard to find.

Javier is only a little mermaid, and even though he can speak, it is difficult for him to utter vocabularies and fluent sentences similar to those of humans, and most of them are short sentences.

But now, the confused and helpless little mermaid uttered anxious and meaningless humming syllables, and almost lost the ability to speak, just like the same ordinary animal cubs in the world, as if begging for help, but also as if desperate.

after one day.

Several aid stations have sprung up in the city.

The reason why it is an aid station is because Javier saw a steady stream of wounded being sent to this place, not only will they be given treatment, but also enough food will be provided.

Both of these are what Jane needs.

So the little mermaid tried to quietly send Jian Chen to the steps of the rescue station, waiting for the doctors and workers to find the young man. Of course, the process was as he expected. As soon as they found a fallen human being here, they all rushed forward , to provide medical treatment for Jian Chen.

Hope welled up in Javier's eyes.

Just the next second, the oldest doctor shook his head.

As if saying something to other human beings, the staff in overalls nodded, and found a white cloth somewhere to cover Jian Chen.

It even covers the top of the head.

The little mermaid: "?!!"

How does Jian Chen breathe like this?

Seeing that this group of people were going to take Jian Chen away, the little mermaid flicked her tail and rushed to the shore, and hugged the young man with one body, and left the rescue station at an astonishing speed.

The same is true for the next few aid stations.

Later, Javier realized that sending Jian Chen to the rescue station was just a waste of time.

But before leaving, the little mermaid took the opportunity to take a small pill. Some family members would put the white pill in their mouths because they could not be buried because of the tsunami, or they wanted the dead to remain in their original state for a short time. inside.

It is said to last a week.

After Javier stole one, he sent Jian Chen to a roof, carefully opened the human's lips and teeth, and put the pill in.

But since then, Javier has no longer tried to seek help from humans.

He left the city with Jian Chen.

The little mermaid swims so fast that it can travel to the next city, or even country, in a short time.

Gradually, Javier also discovered that the city where Jian Chen was located was not the only one that was hit hard. This time, the disaster affected the entire earth.

It seems that no matter where you escape, it is not absolutely safe.

Only a few days later, Javier, who left the institute, took his favorite human beings and witnessed the second time a comet hit the earth.

But this time it was like being there.

The little mermaid's eyes trembled, and she quickly led Jian Chen away from that place.

They went completely into the ocean, and sometimes they inevitably encountered creatures stronger than the mermaid cubs, and they were often attacked. However, due to their strong desire to survive, the little mermaid shuttled quickly, and saved this crisis every time.

a few days later.

They came to an uninhabited island.

Javier took Jian Chen to the beach, he needed a little rest, and at the same time found some food for himself and Jian Chen.

Since humans can't eat anything, the little mermaid finds some berries, squeezes out the juice, and puts them into the young man's mouth.

And I caught a few small fish to satisfy my hunger.

Obviously, it is much safer here than in the sea. You don't have to risk your life to escape the pursuit of marine killers, and you can even lean on the beach and sleep peacefully.

I sleep next to humans, and if there is any noise, I can wake up immediately.

I don't know if it's the effect of the pill, or if Jian Chen is really not dead, the appearance of the young man is the same as when he just left the villa.

It's just that the wound on the head has not healed, but it has not continued to lose blood.

Javier flicked his tail.

Carefully opened one arm of the human being, curled himself into a ball, and shrunk into Jian Chen's arms. He didn't rest on the guardian's shoulder, afraid that his head would be too heavy, so he just shrank into the gap between his arms and his chest , the little webbed claw held Jian Chen's other hand.

He leaned against the human being, smelling the familiar smell of the other person, and fell into a deep sleep.

Before falling asleep, the little mermaid remembered the Christmas red hat she left in the research institute.

The disaster came too suddenly, the reservoir was scattered and collapsed, and I didn't remember to take out the hat from the crevice of the rock.

The little mermaid felt very sad.

With such a fearful and wronged mood, while Javier fell asleep, a tear squeezed out of his eyes and dripped down the bridge of his nose.

His little webbed claws quietly gripped the human clothes.

Been so busy running for my life that I didn't even have time to cry.

But when the air was quiet and there was no one around, the tears flowed down in disobedience.

at night.

The sleeping little mermaid suddenly heard an unusual sound.

He opened his eyes sharply.

When he sat up, several strange faces and figures appeared around him and Jian Chen.

The little mermaid: "?!!"

There was confusion and panic in his eyes. Before Javier had time to speak, he heard the people in front of him look at me and look at you, and started talking:

"It's amazing..."

"Our kind... or cubs?!"

"It turned out to be a mermaid with blond hair and blue eyes. I have never seen such a hair color and eye color in other races!"

"What's next to him, a human? Or is it a mermaid?"

"It's a human being. Look at his feet, and his legs are also very thin."

"Why is such a small cub with a human?"

……

Javier became overwhelmed.

But it also looked down at the same time, seeing the lower bodies of these people clearly.

That's the same as me... a fish tail! !

Not only the Institute and Academy of Sciences, but even the little mermaid and his mother thought that they were the last two mermaids in this world.

And on the island where he is now, why are there so many mermaid species exactly like him? !

Suddenly, the leading female mermaid said:

"Little guy, can you talk?"

Javier froze for a moment, then nodded quickly.

He added: "...Yes."

"What do you want to bring this dead human to this island?"

The little mermaid's expression froze, and the originally obedient and beautiful cub suddenly retorted, "He's not dead!"

This startled the adult fish.

The leading mermaid frowned, looked at the 'sleeping' humans on the ground, hesitated to speak, and said, "I see."

The male mermaid next to him seemed to be a partner with the leader. The male mermaid lowered his gaze and said slowly: "Do you have a guardian? It seems that you are not a cub born here, more like a wandering?"

Javier pursed his lower lip. Now it was a fish confronting these mermaids. It was inevitable for him to feel timid, but the little mermaid still boldly replied: "My mother is dead."

"He is my only family member." The little mermaid still struggled to speak, but the syllables were very clear: "...I only have him."

Several big fish fell silent.

None of them seemed able to speak to tell the little mermaid the cruel truth.

The female mermaid was silent for a long time, then slowly said: "...Since you have nowhere to go, you can rest on the mermaid island for a while."

Javier's eyes slowly widened: "Mermaid Island?"

"Hmm." The mermaid who looked like the leader said, "All the mermaids in the world are here."

It seems that he hasn't recovered from the surprise, but Javier's eyes are slowly glowing, and a smile is raised at the corner of his mouth.

But at the same moment, the cub's smile disappeared and was replaced by anxiety. He turned his gaze to the human beside him, and then to the mermaid in front of him.

"..."

The male mermaid said: "I said 'you', of course you can take him."

The little mermaid seemed to be really relieved this time.

He picked up the humans and followed the mermaids to the depths of the island.

Although the cub's strength is great, it's not very difficult to hold the young man up, but the little mermaid hasn't differentiated the forked fish tail that can walk on land, so it is very difficult and slow to walk.

The mermaid next to him couldn't stand it anymore, and wanted to help him hug the human.

Unexpectedly, he was rejected by this cub.

With the previous lesson, the little mermaid doesn't seem to want to let anyone have the chance to take Jian Chen away.

The depth of the island, which is the habitat of all the mermaids, is magnificent and beautiful, as if it is incompatible with the disasters on the earth, and the little mermaid can't help but exclaim.

The mountain walls of mountains, long waterfalls, and countless stone caves are intertwined, which is simply a paradise.

Since Javier has no relatives here, he was handed over by the leader to an adult fish as a guardian.

But as the only blond-haired and blue-eyed little mermaid on the entire island, Javier's appearance seemed out of place. The other cubs were playing while hiding away, talking in low voices.

But the little mermaid didn't seem to care.

It can be seen that all the energy and attention of this mermaid cub is devoted to the human it brought.

Surrounding a human who has apparently passed away, taking good care of it every day, and even struggling to find some easy-to-eat fruit juice, and sleeping in the arms of the human every day, this made the original mermaid cubs turn to this weird foreign little Mermaids are considered different.

And seven days passed.

The effects of that pill also seemed to wear off.

The human face became paler, and even the soft fingertips gradually hardened, Javier became anxious.

I knew that I should have stolen a few more pills at that time. At that time, I only cared about avoiding the sight of those humans, so I only stole one and ran away quickly.

Javier was confused, and immediately went to the patriarchs of the mermaid clan for help.

And those patriarchs shook their heads.

No matter how strong the healing ability of the mermaid is, it cannot bring a dead person back to life.

Javier returned to his and Jian Chen's cave.

Looking down at the sleeping young man, the little mermaid was stunned for a while and wiped away her tears.

That night.

Javier packed his bags, and in his cloth pocket were the fruits and small fish he had stored these days, enough for Jian Chen and himself to eat for three days.

In the dead of night, he quietly led the humans out.

But before he walked out of this valley, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, stopping him.

Javier took a closer look and saw that it was a little mermaid of the same age as him.

When I took care of Jian Chen before, this mermaid often laughed at him and made things difficult for him.

Javier glanced at him and walked straight over, ignoring the fish.

And that blue-haired mermaid suddenly blocked his way.

The mermaid looked down at him from a high place, and said, "You want to save this human, don't you?"

"I heard from my mother that she has a method, do you want to know?"

Javier paused, logically speaking, knowing that the blue-haired mermaid had malicious intentions, he should have ignored him and walked over.

But the fish tail stopped uncontrollably.

The little mermaid said, "Say it."

The blue-haired mermaid raised her eyes and said proudly, "Please."

Javier showed no expression: "Please."

The other party seemed to be taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect the little mermaid to compromise so easily.

He coughed lightly, and said: "My mother said that the blood, flesh, and even every part of a mermaid's body are treasures."

"The most precious thing is the scales on our tails."

The blue-haired mermaid said: "The method is, you pull off the scales of your fish's tail and put them on his body. Not only can he keep his body, but maybe he can be brought back to life."

Javier froze.

The blue-haired mermaid smiled: "Hmph, are you reluctant? So hurry up and bury him."

"is that true?"

The blue-haired mermaid heard Javier's quiet and soft voice.

Despite the surprise in his heart, the blue-haired mermaid nodded: "D-of course it's true."

Javier picked up the human being, carried the luggage on his back, and walked back step by step.

The blue-haired mermaid was speechless, and he shouted from behind: "Don't tell my mother that I said it!"

And the blond-haired mermaid cub didn't respond.

A few seconds later, a mermaid ran out not far away and grabbed the blue-haired mermaid by the ear: "What are you doing?!"

Lanfa wailed, and shook off its webbed claws, only to find that it was a little friend who usually played with it.

"Nothing, I just kindly told him how to resurrect that human being."

The mermaid was shocked: "You fart! How could there be a way to bring the dead back to life? You are obviously playing him. Did your mother tell you about this?"

Lan Fa insisted: "Even if you can't bring the dead back to life, you can keep the corpse, right?"

The mermaid cub frowned: "That's not right! Pulling off the scales one by one, anyway, it's too much..."

Blue hair waved his hand: "Oh, why are you nervous, he can't do it."

"It hurts to die if you take one piece off. He can't hold on to that crying bag until the end, and he will run away from home again later."

The mermaid was still angry, and accused the blue-haired mermaid: "...you joked with Alin last time, saying that pulling out a scale could bring his little rabbit back to life. The pain caused Alin to cry for three days and three nights. Until now, I still broke up with you, and I don't forgive you at all."

The blue-haired mermaid felt guilty and said, "Who told him that my hair looks bald in the sea..."

"Besides, even if you pull it out, new ones will grow slowly."

The mermaid thought about it, but still couldn't bear it, and came to the cave where Javier lived.

Just go into the cave.

He slowly opened his eyes wide, his canthus tearing apart.

That little mermaid...is, is actually here!

His eyes looked up.

The famous little crying bag, this time he didn't say a word.

It's just that he was trembling in pain, his face and lips were pale, and the little mermaid's eyes were moist, but not a single tear fell.

And on that human body, many beautiful water-blue scales have been placed on it.

And the root of each scale was stained with a trace of mermaid's blue blood.

Seeing all this, the mermaid cub panicked completely.

He anxiously shouted: "You, you stop, Lan Sai is lying to you! It is impossible for a person to come back to life!"

"Our body is not a panacea, you are obviously very smart, how could you listen to such a ridiculous lie from Lan Sai?!"

Javier's fingertips were also stained with blue blood. He pursed his lips, glanced sideways at the mermaid, and then retracted his gaze. His voice trembled, but his tone was cold and indifferent: "I know."

"If it's fake, I just lose the scales."

The little mermaid paused, and said in a low voice: "If there is a one in ten thousand possibility..."

The voice was hidden in the middle of the night and gradually dissipated.

"..."

The mermaid was too shocked to speak.

It turned out that Javier already knew it was a lie.

But even if it's an absurd lie, he still has to try it.

To be able to do this, what kind of bond does this human being have with Javier?

The next day.

The little mermaid went out to find a clean cloth and wrapped it around his fishtail. He specially found a blue apron, so that even if his blood accidentally stained the cloth, the waking humans would not be able to see it.

He sat beside Jian Chen, waiting quietly.

From sunrise to sunset.

Until the second night, the third, the fourth...

Jian Chen still didn't wake up.

The small fish prepared in the luggage had already given off a stench, and even the crystal clear and juicy fruits had dried up and gone bad.

Javier stayed by Jian Chen's side silently, occasionally looking at the sea level with the sunset red in the sky.

He didn't cry.

The little mermaid had not cried since that night.

A month later.

Javier left the mermaid island with Jian Chen.

The little mermaid's scales had grown slowly enough not to affect his swimming in the sea, and he resumed his previous speed, even faster.

But this time, when he left, all the mermaids in the mermaid island came to see him off.

The wooden plank that was originally used as a boat was also thrown away. The mermaid patriarchs prepared enough food and daily necessities for Javier, and there was also a sturdy boat. Although it could not withstand strong winds and waves, it was able to support most of the long-term voyage.

Humans, together with the blue scales on their bodies, were put into the boat.

Perhaps because of the function of the scales, the young man's body did not continue to rot, on the contrary, it even regained its previous luster.

It's just that the young man who seems to be no different from ordinary people still doesn't have any vital signs.

Javier took the boat to countless surviving cities and regions.

Although in 3772, the medical technology was already very developed, but there was still no so-called resurrection technology, and after experiencing a doomsday catastrophe, manpower and material resources were also in short supply.

Javier was afraid that humans would recognize him as a mermaid, so he had to steal a pair of trousers, put a fishtail on one leg, and then found two wooden crutches prepared for him by the patriarch, pretending to be a disabled child and bringing Jian Chen to the town.

"Who is he to you?"

Havel paused and said, "Brother."

"Sorry, your brother has passed away."

The doctor glanced at the young man, he seemed to have passed away not long ago, his complexion was ruddy, and the tips of his hair were soft. He said regretfully in a white coat, "Did it happen just now?"

The little mermaid bit her lip: "Is there any other way?"

"No, sorry." The doctor said: "He has lost his vital signs and has been clinically diagnosed as dead."

"Son, what's the matter with your leg, do you need medical treatment?"

The little mermaid turned to leave with the young man on her back: "No need, thank you."

After traveling through countless cities.

Before she knew it, when the little mermaid stopped, she found that she had taken Jian Chen to the place where she left at first.

His home is in the research institute, and the research institute is in this city.

The villa where I lived for a few months, that is, Jian Chen's home, is all here.

Like fallen leaves returning to their roots.

But a few years have passed since the doomsday catastrophe, and the entire city has been deserted, half of the buildings are submerged in sea water, and weeds even grow on the roofs.

It seems to have become a ruin sunk in the sea.

This time, Javier did not leave quickly.

He jumped into the boat and carefully sat beside the young man, holding the human fingers with his tiny webbed claws.

This time, he took hold of the oars and instead of pushing the boat underwater, he steered the boat himself.

It was getting dark at this time.

The mermaid's vision was still sharp even in the middle of the night. Relying on his memory, he slowly moved towards the research institute.

The road was very quiet.

There are even few wild animals, which appear lifeless.

This is exactly what Javier wanted, the little mermaid thought, although the institute is huge, it is likely to have completely sunk.

...He will go for a while.

He would hide Jian Chen in a secret place, go back quickly, and then swim in through the gap of the research institute, and return to his own reservoir, the beach, and the small castle made of round stones.

——and in the castle, the hidden red Santa hat.

After driving about tens of kilometers, the sky was completely dark, only a few stars.

According to the memory of the little mermaid, they are getting closer and closer to the research institute.

However, the more she rowed forward, the little mermaid seemed to see a faint light.

The light was flickering and rising, and it seemed to be different from ordinary lights.

A bad premonition faintly rose in Javier's heart.

That light was like fire.

And the direction is in the research institute where I used to live.

The little mermaid's heart skipped a beat, and he began to speed up, slashing towards the source of the fire, his palms trembling faintly.

soon.

The oars slowly stopped.

Due to inertia, the ship also drifted forward a few meters, and then slowly stopped.

The little mermaid's blue pupils reflected the firelight that filled the sky.

And the source of the fire was the familiar research institute.

Javier immediately jumped off the boat and dived into the sea water. Judging from the water, the fire was still fierce.

The little mermaid poked her head out of the water, watching all this blankly.

It whispered: "Mom."

But the voice was too soft, and quickly disappeared into the flames and night.

"Mother."

Like an instinctive reaction, Javier continued to cry softly.

"..."

The little mermaid's vision gradually blurred, and Dou Da's tears flowed down her face.

"Jane dust."

"Jane dust."

But what responded to him was boundless silence.

Javier grabbed the side of the boat with his webbed claws, leaned his head over, and looked at the deeply asleep young man while weeping.

"I...I don't have a home anymore."

The little mermaid's voice trembled slightly, and said softly, "Jian Chen, when will you wake up?"

After a few minutes.

Javier pulled the boat and found a submerged alley between the two buildings that would neither be spread by the fire nor be easily discovered. He tied the boat to the fire escape and took a few glances at Jian Chen. Only then did he jump into the water with reassurance, and quickly swam towards the research institute.

Don't know if the fire has spread to the mermaid area, but as long as it is not completely burned, it is worth a try.

Javier groped, the terrain of the research institute was complicated, even after being sunk, many places couldn't see the original appearance.

But the clever little mermaid quickly found the new species area where she once lived.

The largest installation in the New Species Zone is the reservoir.

Although the reservoir has been ruptured and replaced by natural sea water.

Javier swam towards the familiar small beach without hesitation. Although the beach had been destroyed, the small castle he had built firmly was still there!

The little mermaid was overjoyed and smiled for the first time.

He flicked the fish tail, and happily swam towards the castle, and pulled the two familiar stones with his small webbed claws. Soon, a familiar object appeared inside, with a red color that could no longer be seen clearly. .

It's a Christmas hat!

There seemed to be singing in Javier's ears.

He took out the hat carefully, for fear of accidentally tearing it because he was too violent. After all, it has been soaked for a long time, and no matter what kind of extreme fabric it is, it is very dangerous.

After holding the hat in his arms, Javier turned around and swam back quickly in the direction he came from.

The memories of crying just now disappeared, and this was probably the happiest day for the little mermaid in several months.

After swimming out of the research institute, the little mermaid floated to the surface and helped herself put on her hat while swimming.

He must have grown up a bit compared to then, the hat no longer covered half of his face, but could hold it up decently.

Before taking Jian Chenquan to the next city, he must steal a mirror, oh no, a camera!

Take a photo and show it to Jian Chen when he wakes up.

Just thinking about it like this, the little mermaid's figure became joyful.

Soon, Havel swam to the alley where Jian Chen was hiding just now.

"Look, Jian Chen, I found it!"

He carefully put the hat on Jian Chen's right hand, as if he was showing off his achievements to humans.

It was still very quiet all around.

Soon, the little mermaid stopped.

The figure also became alert.

This is the instinctive reaction of animals.

He turned around slowly and stiffly, and saw a tall man standing on the roof next to him.

At that moment, Javier's heart almost jumped out, and he instinctively stood in front of Jian Chen.

At the same time, he immediately recognized who the man in front of him was.

After a long silence.

The trembling voice of the little mermaid slowly sounded:

"…Do not kill me."

A slightly cool wind blows past my ears, and then gradually dissipates.

"I won't kill you."

Justin's voice was low and hoarse, like a puppet standing up from despair and depression, against the dim moonlight:

"Give him back to me."
