Mermaid Throne

This night, most of the residents of the fourth city-state had retreated to the mountains, looking at the still quite calm sea from afar.

Some mermaids have already felt the discomfort caused by the magnetic field changes, and this nervousness quickly infected everyone. Even after twelve o'clock, many people still did not fall asleep.

Tao Yiran did not retreat, he sat cross-legged on the edge of a higher cliff, his eyes fixed on the beach where Rong Xuan most often landed.

The wind started to get stronger, and the young man felt that every ebb and flow was pulling his heart.

All the lights on the beach have been turned on, illuminating the tens of kilometers of coastline brightly.These temporary generators must all be scrapped after the tsunami. Such a waste is just to welcome a mermaid back, but Tao Yiran, who has always been stingy, thinks it is worth it.

When it was approaching dawn, when the upper bodies of several mermaids faintly appeared in the sea, Tao Yiran immediately slid down an almost vertical landslide and rolled to the beach. A mermaid that didn't return to human form.

The black mermaid looked at the rare enthusiastic young man in amazement, and his eyes turned red.

He rubbed his face against Tao Yiran's shoulder, felt this human's heart beating wildly for him, hugged his slightly trembling body tightly, and felt that all the hatred, pain, and exhaustion along the way were all taken by this The hug fades away.

"Don't make me wait for you anymore." Tao Yiran said.

"Okay, then let me wait for you." Rong Xuan promised.

Only after truly feeling his feelings, the possessive mermaid learns to tolerate some brief partings.Because his uneasiness and fear were slowly filled in this hug.

Their intimacy didn't last long, and there was some movement from the beach not far away.

There is actually a group of mermaids landing.

Because all the guards had already retreated, there was no resistance at all for anyone who wanted to land in the fourth city-state.

The mermaid guards who came back with Rongxuan immediately became nervous, worried about being followed by other mermaids, but after seeing the other person's appearance clearly, all the mermaids, including Tao Yiran, were stunned.

The silver-gray mermaid patriarch who had always looked down on the world from above was covered with tiny scars, which damaged his perfect appearance and also damaged his aura.

"Let's go!" Uriel yelled at them nervously, without bothering to explain his situation.

"...Let's go!" Tao Yiran didn't even ask, and rushed up the mountain, dragging Rong Xuan who wanted to rush up to fight.

When they only reached the halfway up the mountain, there was an earth-shattering roar from afar.

Obviously they should flee quickly, but they still couldn't help but stop and look back at the place illuminated by the light.

The sea water has receded hundreds of meters, and a white line appeared in the distance, like a crack between the sky and the sea, tearing the darkness apart.

The huge roar made the mermaids turn pale, and it was Tao Yiran who roared loudly in the end to regain his sanity and accelerate towards the mountain.

After only running 200 meters, the lamps used for temporary lighting by the beach were swallowed by huge waves, and the light at the foot of the mountain disappeared little by little, just like fear swallowing up the hope of life little by little. The irresistible force made the always arrogant mermaid have to Flee in embarrassment.

When they reached the top of the mountain, the huge wall of water had rushed to the beach, and soon, the entire city was swallowed by huge waves, and the city gate that was temporarily opened could not even withstand such a huge impact, and most of it was washed away.

Any later and they could all be lost in this crazy sea.

"Have they all retreated?" Tao Yiran gasped, not forgetting to ask Durant who was in charge of organizing the evacuation.

"Those who couldn't run were dragged up." Durant was very confident in his leadership.Anyway, he was also a guy who was a mermaid king.

"...What's the matter with him?" Ji Yunzhi leaned over, looked to the other side, and asked in a low voice.

Tao Yiran didn't even look at the other side, and wiped the sweat off his face with his clothes: "I don't care about them, just pour me a glass of water first."

The two mermaids that he didn't care about were fighting fiercely.

The enemy was extremely jealous when they met, he was busy running for his life just now, but now that his life is safe, he wants the other party's life.

Even if the venue is narrow, even if there are a large number of onlookers, even if there are still rumbling earthquakes below, the quality of the fight between the two purebred mermaids cannot be reduced.

After Tao Yiran finished drinking the water, he fanned the wind for a while, and walked over slowly. When the two of them were bleeding, he picked up the bucket beside him - which was filled with seawater mixed with a lot of kelp and oysters. The mermaid splashed away.

The vigilant mermaids dodged immediately, but they couldn't avoid being hit by kelp and oysters, especially a piece of kelp was still hanging on Ulaer's shoulder, which immediately caused Rong Xuan to laugh mockingly.

After laughing, he turned around and asked him why he wanted to stop them.

Uriel threw away the piece of kelp with a dark face. Although he had already thrown this human into the sea to feed the sharks in his heart, he could only hold back his anger when he thought of taking refuge in someone else's territory.

"Have you finished greeting?" Tao Yiran pointed to the messy pile of equipment behind him: "It's not time to settle accounts, hurry up and set up our camp, otherwise everyone will sleep in the open air tonight. Mr. Miller , since you have chosen to take refuge in our fourth city-state, should you do something at this time?"

Urel squinted his eyes, obviously not happy.

"When you live under the fence, you should know some rules." Tao Yiran raised the corners of his lips, took the thick tarpaulin from Fein's hand, and threw it to him: "Your subordinates still seem to have a little strength, so don't pretend to be a fool at this time." waste."

After all, regardless of the other party's answer or not, I took a group of mermaids and hurried away.

Tao Yiran interrupted Rong Xuan's hatred, but was finally controlled by reason.He didn't even look at the enemy, turned around and went to help.

The tsunami did not attack in one wave. The vibrations near the sea caused the sea water to hit again and again. The huge pulling force generated by the ebb tide caused a large number of buildings to be dragged into the sea. Facing this terrifying tearing force, even the creatures in the water could not bear it. will suffer great damage.

In the distance, the sun has already emitted some light from the sea level, and the blood-red morning sun made the already terrifying scene even more hideous.

None of the mermaids and humans present had witnessed a tsunami, and they were all so shocked by this terrifying scene that they forgot what they were doing.

They don't know how many humans or mermaids died after this disaster.The fourth city-state is not considered the center of the tsunami. Judging from the height of the waves, I am afraid it is still a long way from the center.

How will the center be destroyed?

Uriel's face was quite ugly.His army was near the tsunami warning loyalty, and after learning that a tsunami might happen, before he even had time to return to the fleet, he felt a terrible force brewing.

The mermaid's sixth sense made him ignore his team and directly choose to turn back.

On the way, he encountered a large number of escaping fish schools. These fish schools that have always avoided mermaids even ran into them several times in panic. The stampede escape made the mermaids at the top of the marine life chain also become embarrassed.

Just as everyone's attention was focused on the waves, there was commotion not far away.

"There is a mermaid calling for help!"

"A dozen mermaids were rushed over!"

"Oh my god! And mermaid babies!"

Everyone was amazed, the humans were still hesitating whether they should venture down the mountain, but the mermaids had already rushed out.

Tao Yiran squeezed his swollen temples, and it took only two seconds to make a decision: "I, Rong Xuan, Ulaer, and Ulael's team, we will go down the mountain to rescue, and all the other mermaids will stay. On the mountain, quickly lay all the tarps, or even if we survive tonight, tomorrow we will die of resource shortages."

This time Uriel did not refuse, and even led the team down the mountain first.

Rong Xuan didn't want to cooperate with that guy at all, but now Tao Yiran is the biggest commander, he just came back, he didn't know the situation, so he could only suppress his dissatisfaction and follow up to help.

These mermaids who were washed into the city by the huge waves could only shiver while hugging the buildings exposed on the water.

At this time, the sea they were attached to was like a cruel lover, completely abandoning them, and the violent waves hit their only support, and would swallow them completely at any time.

"I can't get through it. I can't go into the water at all." Uriel shook his head after judging the power of the flood.

His mermaid team looked very worried at the compatriots who kept crying in the distance.

Rong Xuan originally wanted to try using ropes to tie the driftwood and let them grab it and pull it back, but after the driftwood was swallowed by the swirling flood, no one could pull it back.

After seeing the broken driftwood, all the mermaids gave up the idea of ​​going into the water to save them.

"...Go back." Uriel said in a low voice, not wanting to see the final outcome.

His mermaid team was silent for a long time, and finally decided to leave.

Rong Xuan was standing on the side, and wanted to leave at first, but when he turned around, he found that Tao Yiran was not by his side, but was dragging a fishing boat that was brought up, walking towards this side.

"You..." Uriel couldn't believe that he dared to go into the water at such a time.

"There will always be a temporary subsidence. Ji Yunzhi said that there will be dozens of aftershocks after the initial earthquake. If the buildings haven't collapsed before then, they still have hope of being rescued." Tao Yiran said while transmitting electricity. Tie the cable to the stern and push the boat as close as possible to submersion in sea water.

He squatted quietly on a high place like this, staring at the direction of the flood, like a hunter waiting for an opportunity at any time.

The mermaids who had already planned to leave returned to the shore.

Even a human being is unwilling to give up, why should they give up their compatriots?

Uriel frowned, but didn't leave.

"Did you see? These are human beings. They know the fragility of their lives, so they cherish life more than mermaids. Although they are humble, in order to survive, they will generate more terrifying power." Rong Xuan said proudly.

"...Is that why you chose him?"

Rong Xuan sneered.

How could this mermaid who had never loved any creature understand that love does not depend on a single reason.Tao Yiran's means of survival are sometimes despicable and shameless, but also relying on this despicable and shameless, he protected his young self.His heartlessness will cause him to lose a lot of wealth and power, and it will also allow him to easily bypass many hatreds and unnecessary attachments.

This person's shortcomings can turn into advantages at any time, and the advantages are so shining that people can't take their eyes off.

Choose him?The word is simply wrong.

That's the result of being attracted to him.Just like this terrible tsunami, when he realized it, he had completely engulfed himself, and there was no possibility of escape.

It was rare for the two enemies to have a peaceful conversation, although it did not exceed two sentences, it was considered a miracle.

Tao Yiran didn't care about the two mermaids. He finally waited until the flood calmed down a bit. He sent the boat out along the direction of the whirlpool. Get on this life-saving wooden boat.

The mermaids on the shore hurried back to the boat.

I went back and forth several times like this, and finally rescued all these unlucky and lucky guys before the second wave of flood came.

It was the first time that Uriel was hugged and cried thank you by the mermaid, his whole body was so stiff that even his expression was unnatural.

"Leave it to me later." After sending all the mermaids away, Rong Xuan said to the young man who was trembling with exhaustion.

His eyes were firm and gentle, and he stroked the young man's slightly thin face with his palm: "It's my turn."

Tao Yiran took a long breath and smiled softly. "good."
