National destiny survival: I am weak and rely on luck to fly

At dinner time, Ren Linhe and Shen Nan had a video call.

Ren Linhe first traded three grilled fish and a portion of grilled vegetables to Shen Nan, and said, "If it's not enough, there's more."

Shen Nan responded with a smile: "That's enough."

After getting the grilled fish, Shen Nan threw one of the grilled fish to the hen in the treasure chest, and also threw the heads and tails of the other two grilled fish, muttering, "Eat it, eat it, and don't scold me now!"

Ren Linhe saw this and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Shen Nan then told the story of what had happened before.

Ren Linhe frowned slightly after hearing this, obviously worried about Shen Nan's behavior of surfing in the huge waves.

Although it’s okay this time, but what if?

However, Ren Linhe did not say it directly. He felt that this might be Shen Nan's belated rebellious period.

I have been weak and sick since I was a child, but now, with the support of the system, I am no longer that weak boy. At the age of 18 or 9, I am naturally full of curiosity and the urge to try new things that I have never experienced before.

Ren Linhe believed that safety should not be used as an excuse to restrict Shen Nan's interests and hobbies, so he slowly said: "Next time you want to experience any extreme sports, you must do it with me and Lao..."

He originally wanted to say that it would be done with the accompaniment of him, Shen Wansan or Xiao Feifei, but then he changed his mind and felt that those two people were not very reliable, so he changed his words and said, "It must be done with me."

"Yeah." Shen Nan nodded in agreement while chewing on the fish.

After dinner, the video call between the two continued.

Shen Nan gently urged Ren Linhe to take a short rest and then go to bed, and he planned to keep watch until two in the morning and then wake him up.

However, Ren Linhe thought that two o'clock was too late, and was worried that it would affect Shen Nan's growth and development, so he insisted on going to bed at eleven o'clock at the latest.

Shen Nan had no choice but to nod in agreement.

At this moment, there are less than three hours left until eleven o'clock.

Although Shen Nan agreed on the surface, he had a little plan in mind: If you don't wake me up at eleven o'clock, I will have to stay up until two o'clock, humph!

Ren Linhe had no idea what Shen Nan was thinking. After simply washing up, he leaned back in the chair in the cab and closed his eyes to rest.

In order to stay alert, it was necessary to observe the situation around the other ship through video. Therefore, Ren Linhe did not return to the cabin, but chose to rest in the cockpit.

If he entered the cabin, Shen Nan would not be able to see the situation on the sea on Ren Linhe's side.

Shen Nan sat quietly in the compartment of his small wooden boat.

...He had no place else to stay except this compartment.

For fear of disturbing Ren Linhe's rest, Shen Nan even restrained his interest in "competing wits and courage" with the hen.

He had to switch back and forth between the world channel and video calls to pass the long vigil time.

Three hours passed quietly, during which time the sea was calm for the two of them and everything seemed normal.

When it came to eleven o'clock, Shen Nan did not speak to wake up Ren Linhe, but Ren Linhe opened his eyes on time as if he had set an alarm in his mind.

"It's eleven o'clock, go to bed." The first words Ren Linhe said after waking up were to urge Shen Nan to go to bed.

Shen Nan wanted him to rest a little longer, so he suggested, "I don't feel sleepy yet, how about I wait until twelve o'clock and call you?"

"Close your eyes and you will fall asleep soon." Ren Linhe insisted.

"obedient."

After a stalemate, Shen Nan finally succumbed to the gentle words "be obedient".

With his ears slightly red, Shen Nan said softly: "Okay, then I'll go to bed. Good night, Uncle Ren."

"Well, good night." Ren Linhe responded, with a barely perceptible tenderness in his voice.

Just as Ren Linhe said, Shen Nan fell asleep soon after closing his eyes.

However, just as he was immersed in a sweet sleep, Ren Linhe's slightly anxious voice woke him up, "Nannan, wake up."

Shen Nan suddenly opened his eyes, sat up quickly, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"

"There are sirens approaching on your left, and there are quite a few of them." Ren Linhe's voice was low and serious.

When Shen Nan heard this, he immediately perked up, with a gleam of excitement in his eyes, "Siren?"

Oh, isn’t this here to give him points?

He quickly adjusted his state and looked in the direction where Ren Linhe pointed with sharp eyes.

Sure enough, there were several sirens on the sea swimming towards his small wooden boat at an astonishing speed, and they had obviously locked onto his position.

The corners of Shen Nan's mouth rose slightly, revealing an excited and confident smile.

Just as Shen Nan was about to use "Illusionary Sea Sound" to trap these sea monsters and defeat them one by one, Ren Linhe's voice sounded again, with a hint of alertness: "Wait, Nan Nan, there is a large group of creatures swimming towards this side from the southwest."

Due to the long distance and the weak moonlight in the middle of the night, Ren Linhe could not see clearly what those creatures were.

Shen Nan was on the ground, so his vision was naturally much clearer than Ren Linhe who was on a video call.

He looked carefully and saw a group of huge figures swimming quickly towards him from the southwest. They were actually a group of killer whales!

But after careful observation, he found that their target did not seem to be him, but the group of sirens not far away.

"Is it the group of killer whales from this afternoon?" Shen Nan was a little surprised. He recognized the familiar little killer whale in the group of killer whales and immediately realized that this group of killer whales was the one he had rescued in the afternoon.

The little killer whale made a "嘤嘤哇哇" sound, and its voice revealed anxiety and anger, as if it was calling for something.

Just when Shen Nan was stunned, the group of killer whales had quickly approached the siren. The two sides fought each other instantly, and waves were instantly raised on the sea surface.

However, there were as many as eight sirens, two of which were fourth-level sirens, and their strength was even stronger than the group of sirens encountered in the afternoon.

The group of killer whales soon fell into a disadvantage, and several killer whales were injured by the siren, and the blood dyed the sea red.

When Shen Nan saw this scene, his heart suddenly tightened.

Especially when he saw the little killer whale swimming around anxiously on the periphery, trying to help its own people, Shen Nan could no longer sit still.

"We can't wait any longer!" Shen Nan whispered, and then released the "Phantom Sea Sound" without hesitation.

A low and eerie singing voice came out from Shen Nan's mouth, instantly enveloping the entire battlefield.

The movements of the sirens and killer whales suddenly became slow, their eyes were filled with confusion, and for a moment they fell into some kind of illusion.

Shen Nan then released the "Mermaid Song", and the melodious song echoed on the sea, as if carrying a magical power.

The wounds on the killer whales healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The originally injured killer whales regained their vitality, and their eyes were filled with shock and excitement.

When the killer whales woke up, the first thing they saw was Shen Nan transformed into a little mermaid.

At this time, Shen Nan was holding a rolled-blade machete in his hand and swam between several sirens. He stared coldly at the sirens trapped in the illusion, thinking about where to start.

"This...is this really the legendary mermaid?" An older killer whale in the group of killer whales widened his eyes, with disbelief and shock in his voice.

"That's right, it was you who saved us!" The little killer whale swam to Shen Nan excitedly, his eyes full of admiration.

After listening to the little killer whale's explanation, the orcas looked at Shen Nan with eyes full of awe and admiration.

They never thought that the legendary mermaids actually existed, and could control sea monsters and heal their injuries just by singing.

"What the little cub said was actually true..." A big killer whale was still recovering from the shock, with a hint of trance in his tone.

Shen Nan ignored the orcas' shock. His attention was now focused on the sirens.

Seeing the mermaid holding something it didn't recognize and gesturing at a mermaid, the little killer whale thought Shen Nan wanted to eat the mermaid's meat, and quickly reminded him, "My lord, mermaid meat is not tasty. It's very bitter and smelly. Eating it will make you feel light-headed and dizzy..."

Shen Nan, who was misunderstood as wanting to eat siren meat, scratched his hair awkwardly and explained: "I don't eat siren, I just want to know how to chop their heads into pieces."

Sirens have no fixed appearance, but they all look extremely ugly. Some are covered with tentacles like octopuses, while others have hands and feet like amphibians. They are also huge in size and have a foul odor.

Shen Nan just felt that if he used this small machete to chop them, it would take an unknown amount of time for them to bleed to death.

The little killer whale didn't understand why the mermaid's head had to be chopped into pieces, but it still asked actively: "Sir, do you need help from my tribesmen?" Although its tribesmen were not as strong as these mermaids, they were almost the same in size and could bite the mermaid's head into pieces with one bite.

After hearing the killer whale's proposal, Shen Nan thought about it for a while and felt that it was indeed feasible.

But he was worried that he would not be able to get points if the killer whale killed the siren with one bite, so he quickly emphasized: "You must not bite it to death directly, leave a breath, and let me make the final blow."

After hearing this, the little killer whale suddenly realized and quickly nodded and agreed: "Okay, sir, I'll arrange it right away!" As he said that, he swam towards the group of killer whales and conveyed Shen Nan's request to his tribesmen.

Although the members of the killer whale group were a little confused about Shen Nan's plan, their awe and gratitude towards Shen Nan made them agree without hesitation.

Several larger killer whales swam quickly towards the siren trapped by the "Phantom Sea Sound", and after finding the right position, they suddenly opened their mouths and bit the siren's head, but they did not bite it to death outright. Instead, they pulled hard, tearing half of the siren's head into pieces, leaving only a trace of breath.

Seeing this, Shen Nan swam over immediately. Although the blade of the machete in his hand was rolled, with his skillful operation, he still accurately pierced the siren's brain and killed it completely.

[Ding! You killed a third-level siren and earned 32 points.]

[Ding! You killed a fourth-level siren and earned 128 points.]

The group of killer whales dealt with the sirens one by one according to Shen Nan's request, and Shen Nan was responsible for the final killing. After a while, all eight sirens were solved.

After the battle, the sea was in a mess. The bodies of the sirens floated in the water, emitting a terrible stench. Although the killer whales were injured, they had recovered from all their injuries under the healing of the "Mermaid Song".

After seeing Shen Nan finished his work, the little killer whale seemed to want to talk to him, but seemed a little reserved.

It tilted its head with a hint of hesitation in its eyes. After all, Shen Nan left without saying goodbye in the afternoon, which made the little killer whale feel a little uneasy, wondering if the mermaid didn't like it.

Shen Nan noticed that the little killer whale seemed to be hesitant to speak, so he smiled and asked, "What's wrong with you? Is there anything?" There was a hint of tenderness and encouragement in his voice.

When the little killer whale heard Shen Nan talking to it, he was delighted. He mustered up his courage and asked carefully, "Sir, my name is Qiqi. I want to know why you left suddenly this afternoon? My tribesmen and I haven't had time to thank you for saving our lives."

Shen Nan scratched his head awkwardly. He couldn't just tell the little killer whale that he left early to avoid too much contact with marine life.

He had no choice but to explain vaguely: "I had something urgent to deal with at that time, so I left first."

"So that's how it is." The little killer whale felt relieved instantly after hearing Shen Nan's explanation.

A hint of excitement flashed in its round eyes, and its tone became cheerful: "My lord, you are really amazing. These sea monsters are no match for you at all."

Shen Nan felt a little embarrassed by the compliment and her face turned slightly red.

He looked at the little killer whale's admiring eyes and said modestly: "You are also very powerful. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to deal with these sea monsters so quickly by myself."

The bones of the sirens were so hard that the machete in his hand was bent, and he had not had time to buy a new weapon. If it were not for the help of the killer whales, he didn't know how long he would have finished chopping at these eight sirens.

When the little killer whale heard Shen Nan's praise, his tail excitedly slapped the water, splashing water. "My Lord, you are too polite! Without you, my people and I would have been eaten by the sea monster long ago."

Among the orca group, an older orca slowly swam to Shen Nan, his eyes full of gratitude: "Sir, you not only saved us, but also helped us repel the sea monster. We don't know how to repay you."

Shen Nan waved his hand gently and said calmly: "You're welcome. I just happened to meet Qiqi and helped her. It's not worth mentioning. However, you should be careful in the future. Sirens are not easy to mess with, especially those high-level sirens. You should try to avoid them."

The little killer whale nodded seriously, with a firm look in his eyes: "Don't worry, sir, we will remember it. Are you going to do something?"

Shen Nan nodded: "Yes, I haven't finished my work yet."

When the little killer whale heard Shen Nan's answer, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes: "Will you come to this sea area again in the future? Will we meet again?"

Shen Nan knew that this sea area had been designated as an elimination zone by the system and that he would never come back.

But he didn't have the heart to make the little killer whale sad, so he said vaguely: "Maybe I will come back if there is a chance, but I'm not sure."

Although there was no clear answer, the little killer whale still smiled: "I will look forward to our next meeting, sir."
