Chapter 67: I'm Not a Mermaid

The incident of the aircraft hitting the Xinglu Marine Life Rescue Base quickly caused a sensation on the Internet. It wasn't because of a plane crash, or because they crashed into a marine life conservation agency, but because many survivors said they were rescued by a big "fish".

There were a total of 176 passengers on the flight, of which 121 passengers survived because the rescue capsule was intact, and the other 55 passengers had all destroyed the rescue cabin and fell into the stormy waves, even if they were strong swimmers, it was difficult to survive, but in the end, 47 people were rescued, and only 8 people were killed, which is undoubtedly a miracle.

Afterwards, most of the survivors still remember the process of their rescue, but because they were too panicked and the light was dim, few people could see the whole picture of the big "fish".

The outside world will be skeptical of this, and many people even criticize the news for falsification, sarcastically saying that they don't even want the bottom line in order to attract people's attention.

However, a video published online shortly afterwards confirmed the authenticity of the incident. That was the whole process of Xinglu saving people from the flames filmed by Guò underwater surveillance at the time of the incident. "It" rides the wind and waves, saves people from danger, and its elegant and vigorous posture exudes a faint blue light, drawing a beautiful streamer in the dark water.

When they saw that "it" was hurt again and again by the victims who did not know the inside story, and even almost died at the hands of one of the victims, but "it" still did not give up saving people, everyone was shocked, and what followed was indescribable emotion.

A "fish" can even save people, what kind of fish is this? Everyone quickly discovered this problem, looking at the appearance of "it", it is a bit like a shark, but sharks will never save people.

The question didn't last long, and someone soon gave an answer. This creature is not a fish, but an aquatic mammal called a dolphin that became extinct more than 200 years ago. This creature has a high IQ, is emotionally rich, and used to be intimate with humans.

When the answer was announced, everyone was in an uproar. Is this a dolphin? Extinct two hundred years ago? Everyone immediately began to search for all the information about dolphins, but after all, more than 200 years later, there is very little information left on the Internet, only some pictures and simple text introductions.

So, they turned their attention to Xinglu, and the dolphin appeared near Xinglu, and if there was no connection between them, no one would believe them.

Dr. Cui asked Qin Yuan what he meant, and the latter nodded, "Let's make some of the videos public." ”

The existence of the flame has been discovered, and there is no point in keeping it secret, so it is not a bad thing to let more people know about it and protect it.

With Qin Yuan's consent, Xinglu uploaded a video of the life of the flames and waves on his website.

Predatory dolphins, jumping dolphins, smiling dolphins, coquettish dolphins, clingy dolphins, dancing dolphins...... The posture is myriad, funny and cute.

As soon as the video was released, the number of views skyrocketed within a few hours, and the site was almost overwhelmed by the flood of comments.

[Oh my God, there are such cute animals in the world, I really want to keep them!] 】

[I used to love only kittens and puppies, but now I have decided to become the ultimate fan of fire and waves. 】

[Ahhhh 】

[MD, let go of that dolphin and let me come!] 】

……

Two dolphins swept the world overnight.

Species that were extinct two hundred years ago have reappeared, and their intelligence and cuteness have made everyone love, and their bravery and fearlessness have touched everyone. Countless people applied to Xinglu to see these two dolphins with their own eyes, and a large amount of money was transferred to Xinglu, hoping that they would receive the best care. But they didn't know that the flame they loved was in danger at this moment.

The waves were hidden in the waterway by Shang Ke beforehand, and he was not injured, but he was reluctant to eat since he came back, wandering alone in the water, and from time to time he let out a mournful cry.

Everyone at the base knew very well that if they couldn't find the flames, Xiao Hailang would definitely not live for long.

It stands to reason that after the storm has passed, the flames should return to base. But it was nowhere to be seen for two days, apparently something had happened.

Just when Qin Yuan's patience was about to reach its limit, a piece of news came: someone had found a creature that was "suspected" to be a dolphin in Linhai Village.

Qin Yuan did not delve into the meaning of the word "suspect", and immediately rushed to Linhai Village with his people.

This day happens to be the day when the sea god festival is held in Linhai Village, and the village is very lively, and everyone comes to the beach with a live fish to prepare for the fish cut.

One of the most eye-catching is the big fish that the village chief's son caught two days ago, which is about 2 meters long and weighs 140 kilograms.

This "fish" was none other than Shang Ke, who was placed in a bucket under the offering table, dying.

With a shout of "ritual begins", Shang Ke was lifted out of the bucket and laid flat on the offering table, his head and tail pressed down.

The dolphin did not have fish scales, so the fish cutter pointed the blade directly at his belly and slashed hard.

Shang Ke only felt a sharp pain, his body twitched weakly, and he felt that his life was losing rapidly......

"Stop!" A loud shout came from not far away, stopping the fish cutter from preparing to eviscerate the insiders.

Qin Yuan couldn't believe his eyes. The lovely and kind flame was treated like a dead fish at this moment, and it was placed on the wooden case to be disemboweled. "It" was scarred, there was a wound on its tail that had been wounded by a sharp weapon, and a gap in its stomach had just been cut, and the flesh and blood inside could almost be seen.

Qin Yuan's murderous aura rose in his heart, and Dr. Cui and the others were also furious.

"Damn it!" Qin Yuan rushed over quickly and knocked the fish cutter away with one punch, and the other bodyguards immediately stepped forward and protected Qin Yuan.

"Who are you? Why hit someone? ”

"MD, you dare to destroy our sea god sacrifice, everyone!"

The villagers picked up the guy and fought with the bodyguards brought by Qin Yuan, and the scene was suddenly chaotic.

Qin Yuan didn't pay any attention to the fights around him, and only focused on the safety of the flames at the moment.

"Flame, flame." Qin Yuan called softly, for fear that the sound would be too loud and startle "it".

"It" half-opened its eyes, and when it saw Qin Yuan, its originally dim eyes flashed with a bright light, and then bent slightly, as if laughing.

"Hold on, I'll take you right away." Qin Yuan's eyes were red, and his heart was extremely distressed.

"The tank is here, bring the flames in." Dr. Choi and the others walked over with a huge water tank, and then worked together to gently lift the flames into the tank.

The moment he entered the water tank, Shang Ke suddenly felt comfortable and the pain was reduced a lot.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the main quest - becoming food for humans.] 】

[The host gloriously survives the main quest, and the system gives 5 years of stay time.] 】

Hearing the sound of the system vaguely, Shang Ke was a little strange, he hadn't been eaten yet, how could he complete the task?

[The task is to become food for humans, it doesn't matter if it's eaten or not.] 】

Acceptable: ...... Hehe, I see.

Whew, I'm so tired, let's get some sleep first......

Shang Ke was temporarily taken back to Qin Yuan's private aquarium, where there was complete medical equipment and would not be disturbed.

While he was being treated, the villagers of Linhai Village, who were beaten by Qin Yuan's bodyguards, took Qin to court, beating, robbing, and destroying the memorial service...... Several charges in succession.

As the heir of a world-renowned enterprise, Qin Yuan's news about him has naturally attracted much attention. The incident quickly spread to the Internet, and when everyone saw the photos of the villagers being beaten, they all reprimanded Qin Yuan for his bullying behavior and demanded that it be dealt with fairly.

Public opinion fell in favor of the villagers of Linhai Village, and this group of villagers took advantage of the situation to demand that the Qin family compensate them for personal injuries, property losses, mental losses and other expenses, totaling more than 50 million.

Until a terrifying post was published on the Internet - "The dolphin that saved people was killed by us!" with a set of photographs.

Dolphins are currently the hottest topic, so as soon as this post was released, it immediately attracted the attention of many people, and at first I thought it was just an eye-catching fishing post, but after seeing the photos inside, everyone was angry.

The flame in the photo was placed on the wooden table, and the knife cut through its belly, and the red flame of the sky that seemed to wither stinged everyone's eyes.

A few days ago, "it" shuttled through the waves and saved the lives of 47 people; A few days later, "it" became a fish under the knife of human beings, leaving this world alone.

Seeing these shocking photos, there was a brief silence on the Internet, followed by a surge of anger.

[MD, it's unforgivable! 】

[I don't believe it's a flame!] 】

[The eyes of the flame look so sad, I really want to cry.] 】

I'm already crying, it's too much. 】

[No wonder Qin always beats people, if it's me, I have to kill them!] 】

[They still dare to ask for compensation? It's good to hurt a national treasure and not go to jail. 】

[The fishermen's behavior is understandable, they may not have known that it was a dolphin, and they did not pay attention to the news of the flames.] However, the harm they have caused is unforgivable. 】

……

Public opinion on the Internet reversed in an instant, and the villagers who had been sympathetic became the target of public criticism, and articles about the protection of animals also appeared one after another, causing a huge social repercussion.

As for the villagers, not only will they not receive compensation, but they will also face a series of legal responsibilities for harming protected animals.

The outside world was in full swing, and Shang Ke, who was regarded as a topic, was staying in Qin Yuan's aquarium at the moment, quietly recuperating from his injuries.

With a comfortable environment, proper treatment, and Shang Ke's own strong self-healing ability, most of his injuries were healed in just half a month. Even dolphins from 200 years ago can recover from injuries without even scarring. Now that the mutated Evolved Dolphin has reached an incredible level of self-healing, in Dr. Cui's words: "As long as important tissues are not damaged, even if they are killed, they can be restored without leaving a trace." ”

This sentence attracted Qin Yuan two cold knives, and Dr. Cui enjoyed the pleasure of being "Ling Chi".

After Shang Ke was sent to Qin Yuan's aquarium, the waves were also picked up. There is no way, if they are not reunited, the waves will die of hunger strike.

Shang Ke heard that the waves were actually on a hunger strike, so he taught it a lesson in private, telling it to cherish life and face the cruelty of life bravely.

The waves are happy, sticking to Shang Ke like a little bee, and I don't know if I understand it.

The outside world was extremely curious about the two dolphins, and they all asked to meet them, but Qin Yuan refused on the grounds of recuperation. There are also some authoritative institutions that want to participate in the study of dolphins, but Qin Yuan ignores them.

He is not only a businessman, but also an honorary member of the World Environmental Protection Organization, ranking first in the world in terms of the amount of money spent on environmental protection every year, and has funded the construction of several wildlife rescue bases and professional medical teams.

This accident made Qin Yuan feel deeply remorseful, and in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, he did not hesitate to spend a huge amount of money to comprehensively upgrade the defense system and strengthen the defense measures.

Qinyuan's aquarium is in a circular shape, divided into three water areas, inside and outside, and the waters can be connected and converted to each other. The inner area is equipped with a criss-crossing glass loop and a giant transparent water column, in which various aquatic creatures swim around, like a concentrated marine world.

When he came to the Inner Aquarium, he saw Shang Ke playing on the water slide, jumping straight down from above, followed by the waves that he also loved to play.

The corners of Qin Yuan's eyes twitched a few times, strode to the edge of the pool, and shouted in a low voice: "Flame, your injuries are not healed yet, don't play this dangerous game!" ”

Shang Ke fell into the water with a thud, and then came out again, looking at Qin Yuan with four shining eyes along with the waves.

Qin Yuan was softened for a while, and his tone slowed down: "I'll design a few more interesting things for you in a few days." ”

"Po~~" Shang Ke jumped up high and turned his head in the air.

Qin Yuan: ...... I seem to be happy, what should I do? Do you want to touch it? Or just go into the water and swim a few laps with "it"?

After thinking about it for 5 seconds, Qin Yuan decided to go into the water.

It is still visible, and he gracefully turns around in the water a few times, and his whole body exudes an aura full of temptation.

His man is going to play underwater with him!

Looking at his strong muscles, Shang Ke couldn't help but slap his tail a few times, which was quite expected. Looking down, the shape and size of a certain object seemed to be very good, it should have reached the international standard, he felt it with his pelvic fin, and then when he looked over, he showed a natural cuteness.

Qin Yuan who was eaten tofu: ...... Was it really not intentional just now?

Qin Yuan was a monk, plus a small bulb of waves, and swam a few laps in the water. Qin Yuan hugged Shang Ke, it felt like he was holding a huge jelly, it was ice and slippery, and people couldn't put it down.

He checked the wounds on Shang Ke's stomach and tail again, and now there were only faint traces left, and he was quite relieved. Remembering the appearance of "it" in Linhai Village, he almost thought that "it" could not be saved, and that kind of anger and fear was the first time he experienced it.

"Flame, don't worry, I will never let you be hurt again in the future." Qin Yuan kissed Shang Ke's forehead and promised in a low voice.

Shang Ke looked at Qin Yuan helplessly: Although you say so, you can't stop me from dying by myself.

[Congratulations to the host for opening the door to a new world.] 】

Acceptable: ...... What do you mean?

[Now release an additional quest - Finding the "Merfolk".] 】

Looking for merfolk?

System, are you sure it's not a joke? Is there a mermaid in this world?

[Task Tips.] 】

There are even mission hints? When did the system get so kind?

[Please note the punctuation marks.] 】

Acceptable: ...... Oh convex ^-^ convex.
