Beneath the sky, there is an ocean.

In 4067, humans officially entered the water world.

The real end of the world may not be zombies, not the leakage of alien viruses, but various natural disasters caused by environmental damage brought by human beings, and finally human beings are also facing a dilemma like the extinction of dinosaurs, and the entire living environment has changed greatly.

The vicissitudes of the sea, the vicissitudes of the mulberry fields.

The great crisis of environmental change certainly makes people regret their awakening, but what is even more frightening is that the underwater world is not calm.

When the entire planet is once again dominated by the sea, creatures that were once unknown at the bottom of the ocean reappear in the human world, and some even go from legends to reality.

Like the legendary merman, mermaid, siren.

The real human fishtails, when they appear in the human eye, bring not friendship, but conquest.

At that time, humans realized how many creatures they had never seen before lived in the endless sea, and some sea beasts that were said to have been sleeping for thousands of years, and their reappearance meant hunting and killing.

If it weren't for the technology to rely on, humanity would have been devoured by them long ago.

Even so, the drastic changes in the living environment have forced humans to adapt to life on ships, and the few remaining small landmasses are like isolated islands in the sea, which can only support the construction of a city.

As a result, mankind had to invent even greater sea ships as the foundation of the sea city, and thus began the life of the water world.

The huge sea ship is like a floating land, with various high-rise buildings built on it, and some defense facilities are distributed, and some green plants are struggling to live on the ship, just like the humans on the sea ship, struggling to maintain their daily life.

Such a huge ship was not built to travel quickly, although it also has the same function, but more importantly, as an alternative to land, it is basically docked here on weekdays, except in some special seasons, it is necessary to avoid bad weather such as typhoons, and then it will sail to other places.

The whole world has changed, the climate has changed, there is no more snow and ice in winter, the temperature of the whole planet seems to rise, but the summer is not so difficult, too much sea water seems to be able to effectively alleviate the increase in temperature, so that the seasons are no longer so distinct.

Along with the varieties of plants, there have been some changes, some of the plants that were once very adapted to life on land have become extinct, some have evolved to adapt to seawater irrigation, and some have been protected by humans and used techniques similar to soilless cultivation to allow them to live in greenhouses.

The unsudden, spreading sea water has annihilated many places, and many people have become bait on the seabed in their sleep, and those who escaped have no time to take away a large number of supplies and some technological products.

Nowadays, human civilization has regressed to a certain extent, many factories have become a paradise for sea beasts to roam, and the lack of various materials makes human beings seem to have returned to the prehistoric world all of a sudden, the only difference is that many people still know the glory of the past, and it has not caused the rupture of civilization.

And, merfolk.

This new race seems to have always lived in the same ocean under the blue sky, but the deep sea has never been set foot in by humans, and this time the great change has made them reappear, and they have no good feelings for humans.

In the past, the development of the deep sea by human technology was not so perfect, and various leaks of the world made this rare race have a very bad perception of humans, and after they once again dominated, they blocked the ocean and did not allow humans to explore and exploit it.

Without the plants and animals on land as a food source, food in the sea is so important, and after various negotiations, humans can fish, but they are not allowed to mine what is on the bottom of the sea.

Therefore, exchange is inevitable.

Compared with the human side, the mermaid has less need for humans, and human things, except for some delicious foods that may seduce their taste buds, are completely self-sufficient and self-sufficient, and do not need to be added to by humans in the past.

In this case, the creation of a hybrid between humans and merfolk has to be said to have laid a certain foundation for their friendly interactions, and when the merfolk discovered that the ability of humans to reproduce can increase their population, humans are truly useful.

Of course, some humans don't want this kind of use, but for others, it's nice to be able to secure their food source and be able to get something else out of merfolk fishing.

As for the next generation, if it is a mermaid, there is no need to worry about it, if it is a human being, in the end, with the blood of a mermaid, they will take care of it to some extent, and there is a lot less trouble about survival.

After several generations of reproduction, mermaids and humans are no longer so tense, and the harmonious relationship has made the entire water world more peaceful and prosperous.

It was in this overall friendly atmosphere that the original owner came to this world, and as a third-generation hybrid of mermaid blood, he has a good chance of being able to awaken to a mermaid.

Perhaps it is this that makes him a little superior to other human beings, and he has been a little arrogant since he was a child, and if this kind of arrogance as a child is not changed, he is likely to become annoying when he grows up, and finally do evil things that are intolerable to everyone.

The original owner is vain and arrogant, arrogant and greedy, blindly showing favor to the mermaid, for which he does not hesitate to persecute humans, let the mermaid see his position, and then because he can't awaken to become a mermaid, he begins to be jealous of the mermaid's natural ability to control water, secretly kills the mermaid and captures the shark pearl, and the matter is revealed and uses others as scapegoats...

"Shen Xing, Shen Xing!" The voice of the call came from not far away, and a boy of the same age ran towards him with a net pocket, "Here, the starfish you want." ”

Because there is a "star" in the name, the original owner likes the stars in the sky and the starfish in the sea, and will always instruct the children around him to give him all the starfish he catches.

The yellow starfish is very beautiful at first glance, still alive, but it doesn't move much, and it looks quiet.

Because although the starfish can be used, there are still certain toxins in the body, and it is not recommended to eat, basically not on the human diet, just because the color is good-looking, there will be some children who are willing to catch it and play with it, so even if it is asked to give it for free, perhaps because of that little friendship, the little boy still readily agreed.

"Thank you, Dinway. ”

Seeing Shen Xing take the net pocket and thank him, Ding Wei was a little flattered, and hurriedly waved his hand embarrassedly, saying, "There are still over there, I'll help you catch them again!"

Without waiting for Shen Xing to say anything, Ding Wei hurriedly ran over, didn't even have time to take the net pocket, leaving a line of small footprints on the beach.

This is a rare piece of land in the sea, once perhaps the summit of a high mountain, and now you can still see some traces of rocks, but more often than not, it has become a sandy area by the sea, washed into fine white sand by the sea day after day.

This rare land is where the original mermaid hybrids lived, perhaps because the human genes are too strong, not all merfolk hybrids can awaken into merfolk at a certain age, and they will maintain their human appearance until they grow old.

Over time, most of the people on this small land are no different from pure-blooded ordinary people like Dinway.

But Shen Xing is different, he is a third-generation mermaid hybrid, his grandfather is a mermaid, and then his mother, who is also a mermaid, in this case, the mermaid blood content in his body will be relatively high, and it is likely to awaken at the age of fifteen.

This year, he is ten years old.

is still young, and he doesn't have more bullying methods, usually just very domineering to let the children around him catch starfish and the like.

Because the mermaid is now dominant, most of the human attitude towards the mermaid is in awe, his life experience is like this, those who have no mermaid relatives in the family will let him have a few points, not to mention what he wants, he will always try to be friendly.

Like Ding Wei, who only lived on this land because his ancestors had a relationship with mermaids, he was the kind of person that Shen Xing looked down on the most, and he was also the most oppressed by him.

Seeing that his tanned face was still working hard to find the starfish on the beach, Shen Xing felt that the other party was a little pitiful, he followed him from childhood to the end, and he didn't benefit at all, and because of the disagreement with Shen Xing, he was regarded as a betrayal, and then inexplicably got a charge of killing a mermaid and was executed, and he was really wronged.

Ding Wei didn't think it was just such a moment of work, his little friend changed his soul, and found a few starfish under the big sun, and then happily wrapped his clothes and came over to find Shen Xing, and held it up to him like a treasure.

"It's all beautiful. Shen Xing praised this, and then asked Ding Wei to put all the starfish in the net pocket, and the two walked home together, because they were neighbors, the two were originally closer than others.

There are a lot of people living on this small piece of land, so that the housing area is a little tight, but the fifty-square-meter house, plus Shen Xing's mermaid grandfather, is enough for five people, but fortunately, most of the time, although the mermaid can also turn the fish's tail into legs, it prefers to live in the sea, plus since his grandmother died, grandpa is rarely at home.

The permanent population here is only Shen's father, Shen's mother and Shen Xing's family of three, so it is barely enough to live.

Because of the small area, it is difficult to have a separate room, the original owner because of the favor, can have a small space that only belongs to himself, he came back to see, the pigeon cage like a small space, a single bed is filled, no need to sweep the floor at all.

And in such a small space, the original owner also pasted a wall full of starfish, at first glance not only has no beauty, but also easy to make people with dense phobia attack, Shen Xing glanced at it and shifted his gaze, looking at the net pocket in his hand, otherwise it is better to eat these starfish.

I don't know if you've ever eaten a starfish?

Is it tasty?

I always feel that color is so unappetizing!
