Capítulo 3: saving the human

a new day rises, sun rays pass through the waters, creating tunnels of bright blue, contrary to the gloomy polluted outside, this area inside the sea is like a fairytale place, fishes swim energetically, long aquatic weeds with greenish hallow and all kind of plants with different colors.

following 2 months of hard work, we finally widened the area and made it more stable that when any fish gets inside it instantly turns normal, I also turned another fish with a combat talent into a mermaid, she had a strong built with firm muscles and a tall red tail with forked fins, this mermaid was originally a red emperor fish that is famous of being formidable fighters.

I now have a manager, a laborer, and a warrior, moreover I was left with 2 chances, of course, I'll leave one for a shark and the other for a pregnant fish, it's just that for the time being, I can't get them, sharks mostly live in the deep sea and from what Leo informed me, the deep seas are extremely dangerous, as for the other I need to wait for a fish to get pregnant.

" ahhh , I'm bored" there's nothing to do here and I'm done making pearls, maybe I'll go take a stroll nearby, there won't be any danger, after all, the fish rushed to my place and were purified

" Leo, I'll go take a stroll around, you keep doing your work and keep widening the area, I already left at west cave a 2 weeks' worth of ration "

" That can't do your majesty, at least bring with you Mango to assure your safety "

" it's ok it won't take long besides I can protect myself "

"but..."

I cut him out" what about if I don't come back in these 2 weeks you come to look for me just trace my scent "

Leo sighed "I can't stop your majesty but at least take this with you "

" what's this?" I take the bracelet like shape, made with some materials I don't recognize

"I made this with shells and other stuff, once you push the round part in the middle it'll splash poison, I put about 30 grams in there so you can use it 10 times "

"WOW, I never knew you were such a scientist "

" your majesty might not realize it but some plants, rocks, sand even fish started evolving thanks to your abilities "

" me ?!! .... no way!!" I say with a blush on my face, I've always been weak to compliments.

my original destination was to go toward the shore, but since it's an apocalypse world it's too risky so I just went through the river to explore, looking around without touching land

Erha at the water surface at the lake is looking up at the grayish sky with a reminiscing expression

" The air here is more polluted than the air on top of the sea, how I miss the blue sky "

"àçà@àçà$^ù|Ùmù!:*&<"a distant voice suddenly interrupts his thoughts.

I look up and there is a big bridge, you see three black dots from here; supposedly people. my first time seeing humans in this world and without saying I was excited. the next moment one of the dots fell from the bridge.

" did they push him ?" I shake my head " this is not the to think about it I need to save a life"

I swim directly in his direction at full speed, once I found him I circle my arms around him from behind taking him toward the closest shore. I put him on the ground then I tap him on the shoulder and shouted "Are you OK?" I got no answer so I started compressing his chest and kept doing it until he spelled water from him but he still didn't wake

' well I'm no doctor and I did my best, now I need to go before he wakes up and sees me " I turn to leave however a big hand suddenly grabbed my wrist I turn my face in horror ' phew, still asleep ' i start liberating myself with no result " is he really unconscious? damn it, you asked for it "I raise my hand to the air and then swing it towards the man's face just before it touches him he opens his eyes, grabs the hand going towards him then turns around, switching our position making him in top of me.

" Who are you ?" asks the man

looking at the man, I found myself self-conscious, what will he do to me when he'll see my tails, even if it's the apocalypse he won't eat me, right ?!!

"answer me" repeats the man, now that I look at it isn't this guy Asian? I can understand him but not with his speech, it's weird is it an ability I have? let's try answering him I might be able to talk Chinese.

" %μ£^¨$" I say (means hello)

" a foreigner?" he frowns his eyebrows, stands up then looks around next his eyes stop at me

"by the way, why are you naked"

naked ?!! I'm obviously just torso naked, and that's it?! is he not gonna ask about my fishtail? were mermaids famous in this world ?!

I look below my waist and to my horror, I got human legs !! this is so embarrassing, will he think that I'm a pervert? I stand up in a hurry only to feel weak in my legs and fall down again but thankfully I was held by the Asian guy before my head meets the floor, our faces were close that I can hear his breathing, besides I just got to realize this guy's look, he has almond-shaped black eyes, black dark hair, long nose, a small mouth, thin and high eyebrows, and a healthy complexion. One word popped out in my mind ' handsome'.

he helps me stand up but I still couldn't stand up for too long so my body started to wobble ready to fall, he seems to realize that so he squatted down with his back facing me

" get up"

what a nice guy, it's just that I don't want to go with you I wanna go back to sea, it's true that I'm happy about having my legs back and all but in my case I feel more reassured if I return to my safe home at the sea with no zombies or monsters but I also can't just jump in the river in front of him, exposing my identity, if that happens I'll endanger my people and humans always have a way to get what they want.

'forget it, let's just go with the flow'
