The world is broken, the cubs mend it

The intense pain made him feel dizzy, but fortunately his limbs recovered and he held up his body with difficulty, covering his head.

Everything around him became clear, and he returned to the bedroom, crawling on the ground in a mess.

Everything that happened just now was an illusion, but the cold touch and the heart-pounding feeling were so clear.

He had a premonition that if he hadn't woken up just now, he would have died on the operating table.

Xia Chi calmed down, immediately stood up, opened the door, and knocked on other players' doors.

There is no record of this copy in the player area. Everyone is challenging it for the first time, so the chance of survival is higher with more people.

In the corridor, he met Qin Yan who came out at the same time. The other person's arm was wrapped in gauze and his hair was messy, obviously he had just experienced a desperate fight.

The two looked at each other and then went to knock on other players' doors. Only Lin Che's door was not locked.

The moment the doorknob turned, Lin Che, who was in a mess, rushed out of the door and lay on the ground, gasping for breath.

Qin Yan and Xia Chi kicked open the three nearest doors together and shook two women and one man awake. Their arms and legs were covered with tiny bloodstains.

Before the last door could be kicked open, a sharp and shrill scream was heard from inside, as if carrying great pain.

Qin Yan kicked the door open and almost vomited when he saw the tragic scene inside. The man's skin was completely peeled off and his bones were neatly pieced together.

It looked very much like the giant mermaid skeleton inlaid on the wall in the hall, with bright red blood soaking through the sheets, creating a weird and terrifying visual impact.

bang——

He slammed the door shut and didn't want to look any further. The others knew the situation inside was not good just by hearing the noise, and sat down in the hall with pale faces.

Lin Che helped the three injured people bandage their wounds. The bloody wounds were shocking.

"What did you all see?"

Qin Yan first talked about his own experience. He woke up the fastest and had no idea what would happen next.

The two girls trembled as they talked about their dreams. They were fixed on a cold operating table, and a white man with blond hair and blue eyes was conducting some kind of experiment on them.

"Those aren't white people. As expected, they are all mermaids."

Lin Che had seen Vitalia and Yuanyuan during the day, and they completely matched the appearance characteristics of a mermaid.

"Mermaid..."

One of the girls was muttering to herself with her lips white, and it seemed that it was.

"Let's take turns keeping watch. Let's take a rest first to conserve our energy and then look for clues tomorrow."

Qin Yan sighed. It was hard to guard against such a monster that appeared silently in the dream.

The three injured players closed their eyes and dared not sleep too deeply. The other three were responsible for watching them and waking them up quickly if there was anything unusual.

Gradually the rain stopped, the sky outside gradually turned white, and the sun slowly rose along the sea level.

The players couldn't bear it any longer and went back to their rooms to rest. At least they were sure that it was safe during the day.

Last night, Yuanyuan and her father watched the light opposite turn on, and soon after, they fell asleep with their eyes closed.

Vitalia's huge body is enough to shield the child from all wind and rain.

The first ray of morning sunlight shone on his cheek, and the flowers and plants on the shore were covered with dew.

The father and daughter did not clearly define who was responsible for hunting. Yuanyuan woke up earlier than her father every day and took the initiative to take charge of the early morning hunting mission.

After eating the octopus tentacles that it had brought back earlier, the little guy swung his tail happily and went to find the place where the octopus was lurking like a familiar figure.

The little guy has a natural keen sense of the location of food.

"..."

When they met again after a few days, the octopus waved its tentacles wildly when it saw her. It swam back and forth twice and was trembling visibly.

The octopus is a very intelligent invertebrate with a highly developed nervous system.

After meeting Yuanyuan at the place where it last stayed, the smart dog moved immediately.

Those pupils seemed to be trembling, and at this moment they must be wondering why they were caught?

But Yuanyuan was particularly enthusiastic and excited when she saw it, and swam towards it with her beautiful tail waving.

The octopus broke off its tentacles and fled as before, not giving her a chance to communicate.

Yuanyuan also didn’t understand why the octopus would spray a large ball of black sewage at her every time it saw her.

However, the tentacles it left behind this time were larger than before. It is truly a taciturn but kind-hearted octopus.

When Vitalia woke up and found that her child was not around, the string in her brain immediately tightened and she frantically looked for the child.

It was not until I saw the child's head floating out of the water not far away that I finally felt at ease.

The child's strength is growing, and he has a ferocity that doesn't match his age.

With such a long tentacle, she could drag it to the shore easily.

She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Vitalia felt that the child seemed to have grown a little taller.

"Dad, this is a gift from the octopus." Yuanyuan danced with joy as she told her dad about the generosity of the octopus.

"It should be afraid of you."

The knowledgeable Vitalia knew that octopuses would only spray ink and cut off their tentacles to escape when they were in danger.

"Why? I didn't bully it!"

Yuanyuan didn’t understand what her father meant, so she didn’t take the initiative to hurt the octopus.

"Perhaps it is because of its fear of the strong. You are very powerful, so it is afraid of you."

Vitalia dealt with the tentacles she brought back, but losing two tentacles would not hurt the octopus at all.

“Dad is awesome too!”

Yuanyuan came over and sat cross-legged beside the stone stove, and responded to her father's praise with the same compliment.

"I'm not great. I don't have any skills."

Vitalia knew that he was the weakest being in this sea, and he was not even as good as his fellow tribesmen who had turned into ghosts.

“Dad would cook delicious meals and make a fire and sing.”

These are all very impressive in Yuanyuan's eyes, but she and her father are impressive in different ways.

"..."

Vitalia lowered her eyes to hide the sadness in them, but these could not comfort her.

When facing the people they want to protect, everyone inevitably becomes inferior and feels that they are not good enough no matter what.

What's more, he doesn't have the ability to protect his children, which makes him feel regretful and guilty all the time.

Yuanyuan noticed his father's depressed mood, so he poked the charcoal with a branch, creating small sparks to cheer his father up.

"Be careful not to burn your hands."

Vitalia smiled at her again, not wanting to bring too much negative emotions to the child.

After frying up some octopus tentacles for the kids, he caught some fish for himself.

I've been eating it with my kids these days and he's almost getting tired of it.

The castle on the other side of the sea was strangely quiet. None of the invaders from yesterday were there, and the sea had returned to calm.

"Dad, are they gone?"

Yuanyuan saw them looking at her frequently yesterday, but today there was not a single person in sight.
