Mermaid Throne

The weather has gradually turned cold, and the range of mermaid activities all year round is in the subtropical region. In winter, mermaids rarely appear in the north.Therefore, this season is often the time when northern humans extend their tentative hands to the ocean.

This year was no exception, but no one expected that the fourth mermaid city-state closest to the north actually intercepted ships that strayed into their waters by mistake, and even caused friction.

No one expected that the mermaid city-state, which was originally in a very delicate position, would directly regard human beings as enemies. This change has completely turned human beings from surveillance to high alert, and some small-scale disputes have also become frequent.

When the news reached Tao Yiran, it had already become a military requirement.As a member of the Western Pacific Mermaid Army, he must fulfill his duties as a member of the army once he is requested by the commander of the Western Pacific Mermaid Army.

Just formed an immature army that is entirely his own, Rong Xuan sneered after reading the transfer letter requesting him to go to the fourth mermaid city-state, and handed it to Durant, who has become the chief advisor: "The first The idiots of the Fifth Army can't wait to send me to my death."

Durant smiled lowly: "Anyway, winter is coming, and you will be too idle to panic, go and train those idiots, maybe you can gain something."

"I'm not afraid to go north." Rong Xuan looked out of the window. By the beach, Tao Yiran was fighting fiercely with the captain of the guard. Even the guard mermaid couldn't help but fix his eyes on them.

The young man's progress in the past few months has been frighteningly fast. Whether it is physical fitness or water skills, his overall quality has improved significantly. Just last night, Rong Xuan had to defend against his mental pressure for the first time.

Although compared with the heavy species, the young man's physiological function is still a lot worse, but his fighting skills and experience make up for his weakness to a certain extent. Now even the captain of the guard has to lose his burden and use his real state to fight. Play against him.

"I'm afraid Tao Yiran's changes will be discovered by someone with a heart...he has become too powerful, and I can't hide it." Through the glass, Rong Xuan touched the human who was focused on training in the distance.

Knowing that Zang Zhuo would be safer for him now, but the young man just likes to stand on the boxing ring like he did back then, no matter how many challenges he faces, he will not shrink back, and in his eyes, he is not only getting stronger, but also getting stronger.

Durant rubbed his chin, a little playful: "When I rescued him back then, was it true that there was no second insider?"

"...that human didn't tell the truth before he died. But we can't find out who gave him support." Rong Xuan's eyes became cold, "If Tao Yiran's existence is discovered, that half-breed mermaid will also become a hot commodity."

It is said that Tao Yiran has only carried out the third round of experiments. According to the progress of human beings, whether there are still surviving experimental subjects in the fourth round of experiments should have a result.

If Tao Yiran was to complete the fourth round of transformation, the only gene donor had to be found.

"I heard that guy is also in the north," Durant said. "When the fourth city-state was first established, the Miller family threw him there. The little guy doesn't seem to be popular at all."

Through the glass, Rong Xuan clenched his fist, and Tao Yiran was in the palm of his hand.

"Then go north," he whispered.

It has been a year since the first mermaid city-state appeared.

In the past year, humans have rarely obtained too much news from that blocked city, but with the recovery of the town's trade, it is not as difficult to enter the city as it was at the beginning.

So no matter how tight the defense was, the information in the city continued to flow to the outside world.

The number one city-state near the sea can finally enjoy the ocean resources to its fullest after taking refuge in the mermaid.The strictly controlled fishing line and time to go to sea have been greatly relaxed. First of all, this has ensured the food supply in the city.In order to control the development of human beings along the coast, the mermaid even has strict restrictions on wind power generation. After surrendering, the wind turbines used to generate electricity almost occupy most of the hill behind the city. It is said that the excess power will be transmitted to the nearby mermaid. base.

With electricity, the development of the whole city has become much faster. Some materials produced by electricity are traded with other cities, and a lot of money has been exchanged. In just one year, this once inconspicuous coastal city has now become It can be compared with the satellite city of the central city.

Such a result is not what the human government wants to see, so it simply became a line of defense inside and outside the city, strictly restricting the flow of people in and out, and the people in the city did not want the spies sent by the central city to destroy their relationship with the mermaid. The covenant, people outside the city do not want more compatriots to join the city-state controlled by the mermaids.

Now the fourth city-state, which has been joined for less than two months, has the guts to directly hostile to the human government. If this arrogance is not suppressed, it will soon promote the emergence of the fifth city-state.In order to suppress the momentum of the mermaids, the human government began to transfer a large number of troops to the fourth city-state. Rong Xuan was sent to the fourth city-state this time to check and balance the human army.

As for whether this friction will become the fuse of the third mermaid war, no one can tell.

On the way to the fourth city-state, young people who have never been interested in intelligence gathering actually mixed with intelligence agents every day, and a city-state model was quickly produced.It may be difficult for the mermaids to shape the structure of a city-state through information, but for Tao Yiran who has been wandering around all the year round, it is an extremely simple matter.

When the city model was displayed in front of everyone, even Ji Yunzhi, who had been nestled in the laboratory recently, couldn't help following them to study it curiously for a long time.

The news from the shore is that the human army has assembled on the periphery, and the mermaid army headed by Rong Xuan has formed a circle on the coastline. Although the city residents in the middle are still living normally, the atmosphere is already very depressed.

A little bit of friction, and it is very likely that war will be issued.

At the end of the analysis, Rong Xuan glanced at Tao Yiran, who was expressionless, tapped his fingers on the table, as if he was thinking about something.

When Ji Yunzhi jokingly said that this might be one of the few cities where mermaid slaves can swagger, Tao Yiran touched his chin, and tied the other party half-kidnapped and half-consciously to the boat that night. He entered the mermaid city-state he had dreamed of for a long time.

The mermaid who was ordered to sleep in a separate room woke up suddenly after half asleep.

The mermaid who touched Tao Yiran's room was thinking that if he woke him up, he would play tricks, but when he opened the door and went in and saw the empty bed, he couldn't help but panic after being frightened. However, when he saw the note on the table , Immediately cursed out of anger: "Tao Yiran, if I make you disappear from the bed again, I will..."

The last sentence was not uttered in the end. As for what was going on, only the mermaid who slammed the door and left knew.

According to what the guards said, Tao Yiran had been away for three hours, even if Rong Xuan changed into a fish shape and could catch up, the first line of mermaid defense was in front of him. With his identity, he was also a thorn in the side of the Miller family, so he could only rush up alone. will make trouble.And Tao Yiran directly used the name of mermaid slave, and was released by the mermaid army openly.

As for Ji Yunzhi, who was implicated innocently, when he woke up, it was already broad daylight and the boat was docked at the pier.

The young man looked at him with a smile and said, "Good morning, welcome to the fourth city-state."

Ji Yunzhi rubbed his eyes.

That's right, he was really kidnapped.

"Tao Yiran, I should have killed you a long time ago..." Ji Yunzhi, who was always weak, finally rushed forward and strangled the young man's neck.

Tao Yiran smiled and lifted the sub-race man who had no combat effectiveness at all, and comforted him: "Look, how long has it been since you went out with humans? This time there is no mermaid to follow, so it's much easier?"

Ji Yunzhi slapped his hand away bitterly: "Rong Xuan will not let you go." There is no other way to deal with this kind of scoundrel, but to threaten the only nemesis of mankind.

"He's too late," Tao Yiran tied the boat, jumped onto the pier, and reached out to him, "Let's go?"

Ji Yunzhi frowned, looked around uneasily, and after confirming that they didn't attract too much attention, he grabbed Tao Yiran's hand and jumped onto the pier.

As in other coastal areas, the docks here are still guarded by merfolk.But compared to other cities without independence, the pier atmosphere of the fourth city-state is obviously much more relaxed.The number of fishing boats here is three to four times that of other cities, not to mention the large number of wind turbines and seawater desalination plants distributed along the ridgeline from a distance.

The human officer in charge of the landing inspection checked the mermaid nameplates of the two men, and after confirming that the two men were mermaid slaves, they asked as usual, "What is the reason for landing?"

Tao Yiran didn't speak, but just looked at Ji Yunzhi helplessly.

The sub-race man, whose hope was pinned on him, replied coldly, "Purchasing."

This answer is very reasonable, but the other party can't let them pass so easily: "But there is no money in your ID card..."

As soon as the words were finished, a number with many zeros suddenly appeared on Tao Yiran's account card.

"..."

Tao Yiran stretched out his head to take a look, and smiled uncomfortably.Oops, that guy is probably very angry.

"... so much... money?" The officials were also stunned by the number.He had never seen so many figures in a circulating account for a slave.

Ji Yunzhi's expression remained unchanged: "We need some mechanical parts."

"What part?" The officer stared at him, seeming to be suspicious of him.

"6mm crank connecting rod, 5mm conical coil spring, mechanical two-stage transmission."

"..." The officer's expression twisted subtly.

"There are still 45 steel light-duty spindles..." "Enough," the officer returned their nameplates, "let's go."

After the two walked away, Tao Yiran hooked Ji Yunzhi's shoulder: "What are these things for?"

Ji Yunzhi curled his lips: "It's all made up, it's all equipment parts used in the laboratory, they don't understand anyway."

Tao Yiran opened his mouth: "Did you regain some confidence?"

Ji Yunzhi froze for a moment, looking at him with complicated eyes.Ever since he became Rong Xuan's mermaid slave in order to survive, he never thought that he would be free one day.There are fewer and fewer intelligent subspecies like him now. Once discovered, they will definitely be caught in the central city and carry out experimental development day and night.Human beings have lost their physical advantage, and must not lose their intellectual lead.He dare not leave Rongxuan's protection. With his identity, he can neither return to human nor live alone in the mermaid world...

He never thought about freedom, because once he thought about it, it would become extravagant hope and finally despair.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go." His ears were slightly warm, and he accidentally remembered the feeling when he was taken away by him four years ago.

At that time, this person was still a teenager, with determination that did not belong to that age and gloom hidden in the depths that no one could touch. Four years later, growing up made his gloom seem to have disappeared. He lives more freely.

They have all changed, but Tao Yiran is the one who has become the most mature.
