Chapter 95: Mermaid's Tears
Seeing that the person who came over was Zhang Xingmin, Julia was even more confident.
Before Zhang Xingmin could persuade her, Julia spoke first.
"Damin, you're here just in time......" As soon as Julia saw Zhang Xingmin, she told him what the staff had just said to her.
Regarding the matter of giving the problem water to the mermaid to drink, to be honest, Zhang Xingmin was also very angry. Although this batch of mineral water does not pose a danger to the lives of mermaids, it is still unsafe in the end. After all, if you ask him to drink cold virus every day, he doesn't want to.
But Zhang Xingmin knew that the staff here were in trouble, and just last night he heard the news that a mermaid had been kidnapped, or that someone had carried out a mermaid transformation experiment without permission. It's an eventful time, and maybe the staff here can't get out of their way.
After all, those things are more important than food safety. So, Zhang Xingmin calmly persuaded Julia, hoping that she could also calm down.
It just so happened that Andreas had arrived. He heard that Julia was reasoning with the staff here, so he hurried to come in an electric wheelchair. Looking at the indignant Julia, Andreas hurriedly explained that the staff here had actually been notified, but he didn't have enough water to drink, so he occasionally took that batch of mineral water to quench his thirst.
Looking at Andreas's fishtail that had become shriveled due to lack of water, Julia didn't care about arguing with the staff, she looked at her brother distressedly and followed him away.
In fact, Julia knew that Andreas had lied and that the staff here did not deliver water on time as required. Drinking problematic mineral water like Andreas is already a better treatment. Some of the mermaids who did not find their relatives had no water to drink, and when they were thirsty, they drank directly from the pond where they lived.
Those people may think that fish drink water from the river, and mermaids are also fish, so why not. But they never thought that these mermaids, who were also human beings before, had developed a habit of living for decades, and drinking dirty water would be disgusting.
He didn't have the ability to move freely, so he had to endure it, after all, he asked for them, Andreas never dared to say anything, and tried his best to please the staff who just brought him water and food every day, coaxed them to be happy, and made himself have a little value in their eyes. As for those mermaids who have no relatives and no one to take care of them, the staff don't care at all, and they don't even report their disappearance for a few days.
After all, a dead fish is not a big deal.
That's right, since the discovery of merfolk and the fight against the plague, it's almost commonplace that mermaids have disappeared at the Mermaid Sanatorium in Vienna, and no one finds it surprising.
Although the kidnapping of mermaids is as illegal as kidnapping people, there are people who are not afraid. Ever since the people in the medical academy confirmed that there is a protein in the mermaid's body that can help fight the plague, some infected tyrants or privileged people have been secretly looking for mermaids and isolating this protein from their blood to continue their lives.
Before the establishment of the Mermaid Sanatorium in Vienna, these gadgets were the playthings of the powerful, and some of them were still kept privately, used to show off, to vent their desires, and so on. Although the local government has repeatedly informed that there is a reward for reporting, it still does not help.
Now that there is one more value for mermaids and their lives, this makes the supply of mermaids even more scarce. The trading price on the black market has climbed from hundreds of thousands of euros to hundreds or even tens of millions of euros. A handsome and physically fit man like Andreas could be worth tens of millions of euros.
Inside the merfolk, they also know their situation, after all, every day there are companions who are taken away and never come back. In addition, I heard that some people heard the people who came to kidnap say things like "be careful, the buyers have already paid a deposit of 100,000 euros ......".
Not wanting to become someone else's plaything again, some merfolk were sad and wept in pain, but merfolk had no tears, they only heard their hearts dripping blood.
Besides, on the side of the medical academy, since they discovered the value of mermaids, they were also pleasantly surprised. As an official organization, they naturally will not lose their conscience and put the mermaid on the test bench like those people on the black market, pumping medicinal protein every day, knowing that the poor little mermaid drips dry the last drop of blood......
They're trying to figure out how to make a copy of this protein. No, as soon as there is a breakthrough, the news is shared with scientific research centers around the world to seek cooperation.
Zhang Xingmin followed the delegation to visit the laboratory here, and then left the group. They were going to talk about further cooperation, after all, technology could not be provided to other research institutes for nothing. Zhang Xingmin did not care at all about the outcome of the negotiations between the two sides. He was a little worried about Julia's situation, and when she left in the morning, he was very unwilling.
When Zhang Xingmin found Julia, Julia was busy working at the mermaid recuperation center. It's so dirty and messy that she can't stand it. Andreas stayed here a little better. Some of the places where the mermaids live, even the air smells foul.
According to Andreas, merfolk do not have legs like humans, so they are very difficult to move, and their tails cannot be out of the water for too long. So I can only stay in the pool all the time. The sanitation on the ground is naturally impossible to clean. Even, the design here is not reasonable, they can't even reach the water in the pool to change it themselves. He's clean here, and he's cheeky enough to beg someone else to clean it.
As soon as he entered the door, Andreas, who had nothing to do, saw Zhang Xingmin and greeted him happily. Looking at Andreas's happy appearance, Zhang Xingmin was a little envious, if it was him, he would definitely not be able to laugh.
After looking at Julia, who was very busy, Zhang Xingmin suddenly remembered the idea of inviting Andreas to settle in Jinling City last night. Take this opportunity to say it, save yourself a busy time and forget it.
In Shuicheng District, Jinling City, Julia has seen it. It was just while talking to Andreas that she thought of letting Andreas move there. At least he can take care of himself. However, looking at Andreas's own meaning this way, he wants to wait for the reversal operation, or to live in a foreign country.
Hearing that there was a city where he could live freely, there were specially designed apartments where mermaids could live, as well as waterways where mermaids could move, and Andreas, who was lively and active, immediately agreed. also complained that my sister didn't say it earlier.
The matter was settled, and when Zhang Xingmin returned, he would take Andreas over. The specific time will have to wait for the news from the Medical Academy.
