Diary of Raising a Mermaid
Chapter 67
In the end Lance still didn't let Wen Yu recite it. He didn't want to make headlines the next day, or someone wrote a book of "The Little Soldier and the Colonel".
After patrolling on this day, Lance almost knew how his feet could bear—
He can only walk for about four hours.
After four hours, the legs will become very painful due to long-term support, and the calf will secrete white membranes due to fatigue, and white scales will appear under the membranes.
It's like the fish's body turns on the safe mode after lack of water.
All in all, Lance is short of water, and his legs are about to become fish tails again.
In addition to the above "harvest", Lance is still very happy.
Today, I went to see a circle of the rich district in person, and it was completely different from what I knew from others.
After a day of patrolling, when he calmed down and had time to think, Lance only felt his mind was messed up.
When sleeping at night, Lance refused to be with Wen Yu. He lay alone in the bathtub in the bathroom next to him, turning his legs into fish tails, soaking in water while using the tablet Wen Yu gave him. Crazy inquiries about the information of this world.
Lance also used the Internet to check before, but at that time, he just got a rough idea of the world view, and did not involve the status quo on the social level;
And Lance now mainly wants to know how human life in the entire world is, and how mankind faces the world of doomsday.
And with such a check, it was checked for a whole night.
The next day, Wen Yu, he looked in the bathroom and couldn't help laughing—
Lance was still lying in the bathtub, with a beautiful fish tail lying carelessly in the bathtub.
The white fish tail is shining, and from the outside, it **** enough water, and the scales are shining, beautiful like a diamond, but the end of the tail is sluggish, just like its owner, and you know that you stayed up late at first glance. .
Seeing Wen Yu coming in, Lance raised his head, holding a little red octopus, and greeted Wen Yu.
Wen Yu took a closer look. Compared to the little octopus, he cared more about the two huge dark circles on Lance's face, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows:
"You didn't sleep all night last night?"
"Yeah."
Lance weakly showed Wen Yu the tablet.
"I'm watching a conscription ad."
The conscription advertisement in the tablet was accompanied by exciting music. The whole perspective was quickly slid across a large swamp and sea with the rhythm of the music. Then a group of reserve soldiers walked through the tidy road, and finally accompanied by a metaphor. Speech.
Although this short video is short, Lance watched it over and over again and drew a lot of information from it.
After becoming a reserve soldier, the reserve soldier must participate in conscription activities.
This activity is called a test, in fact, it is to let a group of recruits explore the outer field and guard the frontier.
If the reserve can survive the first mission, then the reserve can be turned into normal.
"Being a soldier is well paid."
Lance sighed.
"It's really a matter of life for money."
According to the advertisement, the threshold for becoming a reserve soldier is very low. Whether you are fat or thin, tall or short, male or female, as long as you are not a wicked person, you can perform the first collective mission. If you succeed in surviving inside, you will have the opportunity to enter the rich area and cross classes by virtue of your military merits.
This kind of huge reward has allowed countless people to step forward and enter the huge meat grinder of the reserve soldiers, and exchange their lives for possible glory and wealth.
And the reason why the entire alliance organizes such conscription every year is also very simple—
They need manpower to cope with the animal tide that will come at this time of the year.
After the doomsday came, the land area was eroded by the sea, and the creatures that were lucky enough to survive basically have undergone mutations.
But no matter how these animals mutate, they don't have human technology.
Humans can barely fill their stomachs with their technology within the high walls, but those animals can't.
Driven by instinct, the mutant animals and plants on the periphery of the high wall will try to break through human defenses and feed on humans every September and October.
Therefore, at this time of the year, humans will need a large number of small soldiers to patrol the periphery of the high wall to avoid excessive damage to the high wall by mutated animals and plants.
This year, the situation is even more special.
Due to bad weather in recent times, black storms have occurred several times more than in previous years, leading to an earlier wave of beasts.
According to the rhetoric in the recruitment advertisement, if Lance had submitted the registration form, he would have to go to the registration point in the Xiacheng District to register in the last few days.
Lance raised his head and asked:
"If I go to Xiacheng, can I go directly to the sea?"
"Do not."
Wen Yu shook his head, "It will be a while."
Although the minions are unremarkable, many minions die on the battlefield every year, but it is undeniable that they have more or less blocked the impact of a part of the beast tide on the human gathering place. In some respects, those who died The soldiers are heroes.
The leaders of the Survivor League are not so stupid yet, they still attach great importance to the reserve soldiers who enter the army every year.
Therefore, they will not throw the little soldiers who don’t know anything directly on the battlefield—
On the one hand, it is to avoid the high casualty rate and the rapid consumption of the population:
On the other hand, they are going to train and train the soldiers step by step. If luck is good that year, can they find someone who is similar to Wen Yu?
Therefore, in order to give the reserve soldiers a period of time as a buffer, the registration place for the reserve soldiers was chosen to be the place closest to the wealthy area.
After the reserve soldiers are assembled, there will be officers who will take them for training, and at the same time handle some affairs in the lower city.
During this time, the reserve soldiers will learn the skills of fighting on the battlefield, and learn some professional knowledge of distinguishing mutant animals and plants.
At each stage, when the officers feel that the reserve soldiers they bring have passed the assessment and can go to the next stage, they will take the reserve soldiers to the periphery, until the reserve soldiers reach under the high wall and turn on everyone. The first task-
Patrol on the edge of the high wall and outside.
At this time, Lance was the closest moment to the sea, and it was also a wonderful moment for Lance to escape from here and return to the sea.
"Okay, I know.
Lance crawled out of the bathtub. He sat aside and waited for the water on his tail to dry so that he could have two legs.
"How about you? Am I not your orderly?"
"I will go to this conscription."
Wen Yu said,
"In the entire conscription, I will be both your commander and your instructor."
Lance opened his mouth. He felt that this was not a good thing.
…
In the afternoon, Lance was learning some fighting skills under the teaching of Wen Yu.
Lance originally thought that relying on his own brute force and relying on the excellent physical fitness of the mermaid, he would definitely be able to call him father directly.
At the beginning, Lance's prediction was successful.
With the help of the mermaid's excellent dynamic vision and the body's reaction speed that is many times faster than human beings, Lance played directly on the court and rubbed Wen Yu with the ground without knowing almost anything.
This gap made Wen Yu stunned.
However, as time dragged on, Lance's physical strength was gradually consumed by Wen Yu. He gradually began to be suppressed by Wen Yu, who had great combat experience, and the final end was Wen Yu's victory.
Because Wen Yu accidentally stepped on Lance severely...
Now Lance squatted in the corner and closed himself.
"Sorry, I really didn't mean it."
Wen Yu squatted behind Lance and apologized carefully.
"How about you come and step on me?"
"Can it be the same?"
Lance turned his head, the little white beads crackled on the floor and dropped to the ground. He was particularly aggrieved.
"You just can't beat me? Why step on me deliberately? Step on me, don’t you know that is my tail?"
For Lance, the feeling of being accidentally stepped on by Wen Yu was particularly impressive.
At the moment Wen Yu stepped on, Lance felt that he was out of his body directly—
It was like a thorn suddenly appeared, piercing his Tianling Gai directly from the sole of his foot next time.
It hurts a fish to death.
Moreover, because Lance's feet were smaller than Wen Yu, he couldn't even move when he was stepped on.
Wen Yu was very guilty. He defended:
"If it's on the battlefield, the enemy doesn't care if your feet hurt."
"Then are you the enemy?"
Lance asked rhetorically.
"...No."
Wen Yu's tone is a bit weak.
"Then is this a battlefield?"
"...No."
Wen Yu tilted his head, "Do you want me to pinch your feet?"
Squeeze!
Lance stood up, he was very annoyed, and then he stepped on his feminine shoe with his still intact foot, leaving a shoe mark.
Wen Yu: "..."
It seems that the feet are really the weakness of the mermaid, even the strength is not very strong.
After taking revenge on Wen Yu, Lance unilaterally terminated the teaching. He limply walked to the living room, ready to go back to the bubble bath, and change his tail back to see if Wen Yu was so kicked. What is missing from him.
And when he was passing by the living room, he suddenly heard the sound of the doorbell:
"Ding Dong—"
Lance and Wen Yu stopped at the same time.
"Ding Dong—"
Lance turned and looked at Wen Yu:
"Is it Carl and Rose?"
"No, if they come, they will tell me in advance."
Wen Yu also found it strange.
If the person who came was Dr. Mourin, Dr. Mourin would send him a text message in a weird manner before he came, and would not ring the doorbell so politely.
Lance didn’t think so much. He stepped forward first and saw who the visitor was from the smart video at the door—
Michael in a neat suit.
This man with green eyes impressed Lance, and Lance recognized it as Michael at a glance.
Lance looked back at Wen Yu and asked:
"It's Michael standing outside, do you want to see him?"
Wen Yu couldn't help but raised his eyebrows.
It seemed that Wen Yu didn't know why Michael came to him.
"Let him in."
Wen Yu said, "Look at what he wants to do."
This was exactly what Lance wanted. Lance opened the door directly and smiled at Michael:
"can I help you?"
Michael smiled, and passed the wine bottle in his hand and a box of small cakes to Lance:
"I'm here to see you."
After speaking, he glanced at Wen Yu who was standing behind Lance, and added:
"By the way, come and see Colonel Wen Yu."
Five minutes later, Michael was sitting in the living room with a glass of boiled water in front of him.
Michael's eyes were still very natural, but after watching Lance and Wen Yu sitting next to him for a while, his gaze gradually moved down, and finally fell on Wen Yu's shoes—
A footprint on Wen Yu's army boots is too obvious.
"Ahem, what's the matter with you?"
Lance saw that Michael's attention was actually on Wen Yu's shoes, his face turned red, and then he coughed a few times, pulling Michael's attention back.
"Oh, it's actually a trivial matter."
Michael is neither humble nor overbearing, his green eyes look particularly sincere and innocent,
"I'm here to thank Lance for releasing Loma before, and visiting the neighbors by the way."
"Ah."
Wen Yu showed a sneer beside him, showing his unbelief.
"Well, the main problem is that I and Lance hit it off right away."
Michael immediately turned into the wind.
Lance was expressionless.
Who are you lie to?
"This is real."
Michael looked at Lance and said seriously.
"I know that Reims is from the 25th district, and I am from the 26th district. The two of us can be regarded as fellow...Lance, do you know that there is a censorship system for the reserve soldiers?"
Lance saw that Michael was serious, and he could not help but straighten his back and asked:
"what is that?"
"The Reserve Corps signed up in the C42 city area, and then slowly advanced outside the wall."
Michael smiled and said,
"Because a large number of people from Xiacheng District sign up every year, in order to maintain the ‘pure’ of the army, there will be a review team.
Every time the audit team goes to a region, it will select some soldiers who were born or live in that region and inspect their birth or living area. If the character is really worrying, the review team will remove the person. "
To put it bluntly, it is political censorship.
Lance was silent.
He thought, since it is a random check, there are so many people, he may not be selected.
However, he couldn't help thinking, what if he was unlucky and was chosen directly?
"What do you want to say?"
Wen Yu asked directly.
"It's nothing."
Michael smiled,
"I just remind Lance. Oh, by the way, I also know a lot of people in District 25. If you have trouble, you can come to me."
"Is that what you came for?"
Wen Yu was a little upset.
"Seriously, I can directly treat your remarks as a threat."
"Why, I'm just so happy to meet my fellow villagers."
Michael looked at Wen Yu. He tried to use his green eyes to show his innocence and eliminate Wen Yu's wariness.
"Well, having said so much, I actually really asked Colonel Wen Yu a little bit."
Michael didn't wait for Lance and Wen Yu to say anything, he said to himself again.
"I was selected by the company, and I will follow the army to inspect the granaries and subsidiaries in Xiacheng District."
This is the only way to be promoted. The only problem is that the time is not good.
When inspecting, if he is not careful, he is likely to be dragged away and killed by some mutant beasts that break through.
Michael's expression became serious, it seemed that this was what Michael really wanted to say, not the specious things above:
"I know that this road may be very dangerous, so I am cheeky and come to see you, Colonel. I hope that Colonel Wen Yu will be more concerned about me and my team."
"You can beg others."
Wen Yu speaks,
"Why did you choose me?"
You must know that Wen Yu's reputation is not good among humans. Therefore, even if someone wants to ask someone to do something, he will never choose Wen Yu as the first candidate.
"That's because Lance and I are fellow villagers."
Michael then smiled, the clouds were light and breezy,
"I hope that through this relationship, Colonel Wen Yu will pay more attention to our team."
This statement is understandable, but the whole thing still reveals an unusual breath.
"This is the purpose of my coming today."
Michael stood up, and he bowed to both of them.
"please."
Michael is worthy of being an executive. He is very clever to grasp the distance between him and Wen Yu and Lance. They are not far or near, so that they feel comfortable and can't fault it.
After Michael left, Lance and Wen Yu looked at each other, and there was a problem with intuition.
Although Michael kept saying that it was to find a relationship and give Wen Yu asylum, both Wen Yu and Lance knew that "seeking asylum" was just a trick. What Michael actually wanted to talk about was the previous "review."
What is Michael hinting, and what is warning.
"It's not easy for him."
Lance complained,
"It's so annoying for a clever person, he's going around the corners and going around, isn't he dizzy by himself?"
Wen Yu touched Lance's head, somewhat relieved:
"So, I like you."
Lance: "..."
Is this implying that he is stupid?
