When I woke up, I was raised by a mermaid
Chapter 18 A Thief
Ruan Chen curled up into a ball and shrank to the corner of the bed. This time, Ren Lux couldn't coax him no matter how he tried to coax him, he couldn't bring out snacks.
Lux realized that what he did just now was a bit too much, but before he could comfort him, Vincent told him in the earphone that he had a new discovery and he had to leave first.
Ruan Chen wrinkled his nose and turned his head: "Meow? (Where are the fish?)"
The room was empty, and the mermaid who imagined to beg him for forgiveness with a can had long since disappeared.
Only his half-drunk bottle was left floating in the water alone.
Ruan Chen: "..."
He was so angry that he grabbed the bottle and took a sip.
I will remember this hatred first.
in the conference room.
The senior generals sitting around the round table all had serious expressions.
On the big screen at the front of the meeting room was the video that was just seen in the monitoring room, and Ruan Chen's frightened and distorted face was once again exposed in front of all the mermaids.
Lux's eyes fell on it, and the corners of his lips moved very slightly.
It seems to suddenly understand why humans lost their temper just now.
"Admiral Lux, the defense department has analyzed the flight trajectory of this Zerg." A young mermaid major reported to him, "There is good news..."
Lux interrupted him: "The bad news first."
Major Mermaid paused for half a second: "The bad news is that we have detected a large number of Zergs heading towards Base X, and it is expected to attack Base X one day after the arrival of the battleship."
"The good news is... this Zerg engineer didn't come for the battleship. He seemed to have deviated from the team during the flight and happened to bump into us."
"The Zerg was almost dead when it crashed out of your room window."
Vinson added: "Its vital signs were too weak to be detected."
He adjusted the monitoring screen back for a few seconds, and the weapons outside the battleship sprayed out high-temperature flames, and the Zerg was instantly reduced to ashes.
"It then tried to fly away, and our defense equipment wiped it out immediately."
Lux gave a faint "hmm".
The major said: "Except for the fact that your humans were the first witnesses and were frightened this time... this Zerg didn't cause any damage to us."
"It's just a Zerg engineer, it's lucky to meet the battleship." The mermaid officer of the defense department said disdainfully, "General Lux, as long as there is enough fuel, our defense equipment will definitely not be damaged."
Lux lightly nodded noncommittally.
Lieutenant General Erwin immediately raised his opinion: "General Lux, I think it is still necessary to increase protection measures for your humans."
"Yes." The other mermaids agreed, "Humans are very timid, and it's not good to be scared by the Zerg and leave a psychological shadow."
"There will be a war when we arrive at Base X. This human is so weak, why don't we keep him on the battleship for protection."
Lux lowered his eyes and thought.
Ruan Chen is not afraid of the Zerg in the battle simulator, but he is still afraid when he sees a real Zerg.
It is indeed time to teach him how to protect himself as soon as possible.
"I will arrange this matter. Your task now is not to care about my human beings." He knocked on the table, and the rest of the generals fell silent.
"Speed up and make sure to reach Base X before the Zerg." Lux ordered them, "Don't report the Zerg's attack to the royal family for now."
"Yes, sir!"
It was impossible to distinguish between day and night in the battleship, and when Ruan Chen woke up naturally from sleep, Lux was not in the room.
It seems that because of a problem, the windows in the room were also closed.
He lazily sat up from the conch bed and yawned.
Sure enough, there were two cans of mixed food on the small table, and three packs of snacks beside it.
Ruan Chen swam over in satisfaction, his gaze turned and he fixed on a certain place.
But why is the bottle still there? !
"Meow... (Forget it)" Ruan Chen pursed his mouth and sucked a few mouthfuls, "Miwu, meow meow. (I don't care about you for the sake of your taste)"
He cleared the table of food and belched.
Because something happened when Ruan Chen was locked in the room last time, Lux also set the authority to open the door for him.
Ruan Chen quietly pushed the door open, poked his head out and looked out.
The aisle was quiet and there were no mermaids.
Where has everyone gone?
Ruan Chen looked around curiously.
From here to now, he has never been to other places except the room and the training room, and he doesn't even know what he is on.
Unconsciously, Ruan Chen went to the other side along the corridor.
He saw the mermaid words written on the door, and a red symbol with a big cross drawn on the front, which looked a bit like a warning sign.
Ruan Chen subconsciously moved a little further away from this door.
As a result, just as he was about to swim away, he suddenly found that the door was not closed tightly, revealing a gap.
"Miwu?" Ruan Chen blinked.
Will important rooms not be closed?
Maybe he misunderstood, this sign is not a warning sign for the human world.
He tentatively touched the door with his little paw.
The gap is wider.
Ruan Chen stuck his head in: "Meow? (Is there a mermaid?)"
What surprised him was that the interior of the room was very large. Although the lights were not turned on, he could still tell that it seemed to be a conference room.
Ruan Chen felt a little uncomfortable.
meeting room.
It's an important place anyway...
Combined with the icon on the door just now, it doesn't seem like a place for him to come.
But why is it not closed?
Before he had time to think about it, Ruan Chen's ears moved.
He heard small voices coming from inside.
Ruan Chen simply pushed the door open: "Meow? (Who is it?)"
A few seconds later, a mermaid appeared behind the long table in the conference room.
The body is strong and muscular.
It was the mermaid he met at the training ground that day, trying to touch his head.
Ruan Chen's little heart fell back: "Miwu, meow meow. (Grass, scare me to death, like a ghost)"
The mermaid chief guard saw him, and quickly put a smile on his face: "Ah...Little human, are you the only one?"
"Miwu? (What did you say)" Ruan Chen tilted his head.
The mermaid swam towards him, and he subconsciously stepped back a little.
Afterwards, Ruan Chen frowned.
He saw a small square instrument pinched in the mermaid's hand.
Like a U disk.
Ruan Chen looked up and down the mermaid in front of him.
"Meow meow meow meow? (Why did you enter the meeting room alone?)" He stared at the mermaid's hand, "Meow meow? (What is in your hand?)"
The smile on the mermaid guard's face froze for a second.
He raised his hand to press his ear, and quickly muttered something that Ruan Chen couldn't understand.
Ruan Chen had a flash of inspiration: "!"
He remembered!
Doesn't this mermaid look like "I'm a spy who came to steal secrets"? ?
"Meow, oh, oh, oh—(Come on, there are thieves!)" Ruan Chen leaned against the wall behind him, shouting to stay away from the mermaid.
But the mermaid's reaction was also very quick. The moment he made the sound, the other party's face was gloomy, and the sharp nails like knives stabbed at him quickly.
"I didn't want to hurt you, such a precious human being, what a pity."
But he didn't expect that he missed it.
The human's petite body twisted sensitively, and he just avoided his arm.
Ruan Chen knew that he was no match for this mermaid, so he kicked the lock on the door of the room just now while he was not paying attention.
"Meow! (Where did the fish go?! If I don't come again, I'm going to die!)"
A shrill siren resounded throughout the corridor.
Almost at the same time, the heavily armed patrols finally arrived.
"Miu! (Grass!)"
Ruan Chen was still grabbed by the head of the guard by the neck.
"You lied about the Zerg attack?!" Vincent said angrily when he saw the situation at the scene.
Ruan Chen was shackled in his arms, and he saw the figure of the golden mermaid.
"Meow... (Come save me QAQ)"
Sensing that the situation was wrong, Lux rushed back immediately.It took a long time to disarm from the outside of the battleship and return here, which gave the chief of the guard a chance to take advantage of it.
The chief of the guard's nails touched Ruan Chen's neck: "So what? If you don't want him to die, get out!"
The mermaid soldier next to him hesitated.
Vincent looked at Lux.
"Your escape pod has been destroyed." Lux's eyes locked on the chief guard, and he released coercion with his mental power, "Put him down, I can save your life."
"You think I'll believe it?" The chief guard sneered, enduring the stinging pain from the back of his head, "I never thought I'd survive since I started this business."
No one knew what happened to the mermaid who betrayed Lux.
Death is the easiest outcome.
After he finished speaking, he showed a ferocious face again: "But if I can let this precious human being be buried with me today, it seems not bad."
"Are you fucking crazy? What's your ability to bully a human?" Vincent was anxious.
Lux didn't speak.
While they were confronting each other, Ruan Chen quietly stretched out his little paw and walked away the badge pinned to the long clothes of the mermaid guard.
His movements were so light and small that the nervous mermaid couldn't notice.
But Lux saw it.
His tail fin is slightly raised.
The head of the guard's attention was all focused on Lux who he thought was the most threatening.
At this moment, Ruan Chen made a "meow", desperately piercing the tip of the back of the badge towards the mermaid's eyes.
The mermaid guard dodged, the badge only reaching his brow bone.
But that moment of distraction had already pronounced his doom.
Ruan Chen instinctively closed his eyes as the powerful force swept towards them.
A few seconds later, he smelled blood.
When the strength on his body was released, Ruan Chen tried to look back, but a big hand pressed on his head and held him tightly in his arms.
Lux bowed his head: "Don't look, it's okay, be soft and darling."
"Miwu..." Ruan Chen twisted his body, and the mermaid still hugged him, making it impossible for him to probe out to see what happened.
"Clean up this place." Lux's tone seemed to be icy, "Record his body and send it to the royal family."
"Observe!" The mermaid soldiers surrounded him. The head of the guard had already been separated, his eyes were wide open, as if he didn't understand why he died suddenly.
After Lux let go of Ruan Chen, he found himself back in the room.
Although he didn't know exactly what was going on, he still felt that he should tell Lux what the mermaid did just now.
Ruan Chen patted him with his little paw: "Meow meow meow. (I have something to tell you)"
"Hmm." Lux lowered his eyelashes, "I shouldn't have left you in the room, sorry."
"Meow. (That mermaid stole your things.)" Ruan Chen gestured at him.
Lux didn't seem to understand at all, Ruan Chen's hand was held by him, and the mermaid touched him meticulously, then raised his chin to check if he was injured.
Looking up, Ruan Chen saw the mermaid's pale golden pupils stand up again.
It's not as serious as the first meeting, but it's also different from usual.
"Meow? (What's wrong with you?)" Ruan Chen frowned worriedly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the mermaid showing a painful expression, with veins popping out of his forehead.
"Miwu? (Where is it uncomfortable?)" Ruan Chen put his hand on the mermaid's forehead, "Meow meow? (Are you hurt?)"
Could it be that he was injured by that mermaid in order to save him just now?
This time the pain lasted less than three seconds.
When Lux regained his strength, he saw Ruan Chen's black eyes.
He raised his head and kissed Ruan Chen's small palm: "I'm fine, don't worry."
"Meow meow meow... (do you feel better?)" Ruan Chen focused on the expression of the mermaid, and didn't realize that he was kissed again.
"Ruanruan was so brave just now." Lux hugged him into his arms, and raised his hand to pinch the tips of his ears.
Ruan Chen saw the mermaid's arm from the corner of his eye.
"Meow! (Your scales!)"
He noticed that the scales on Lux's arm suddenly turned black.
Lux seemed to have gotten used to it, and turned his head to face him, not letting him see.
Facing the pure golden eyes of the mermaid, Ruan Chen was stunned for a moment.
"Miu... (You are so beautiful)"
Behind him, the scales on Lux's arms slowly returned to pale gold.
Lux realized that what he did just now was a bit too much, but before he could comfort him, Vincent told him in the earphone that he had a new discovery and he had to leave first.
Ruan Chen wrinkled his nose and turned his head: "Meow? (Where are the fish?)"
The room was empty, and the mermaid who imagined to beg him for forgiveness with a can had long since disappeared.
Only his half-drunk bottle was left floating in the water alone.
Ruan Chen: "..."
He was so angry that he grabbed the bottle and took a sip.
I will remember this hatred first.
