After forming a covenant with the interstellar bosses

Just then, Ye Min's communicator rang. It was Song Yu calling.

Song Yu reported what had just happened, but Ye Min didn't listen at all.

"There's no rush for this. I have a secret mission for you now." Ye Min said without even pausing, "In a moment, we will..."

"To the Mermaid Palace?"

"Not necessarily. The first step is to explore the underground cavity. We have a rough route of action, but everything will have to be handled flexibly once we reach the seabed."

"You want me to trick a merman into helping me attack the mermaids?"

"If you hadn't tricked him, perhaps tens of thousands more people would have died." Ye Min's voice turned stern. "He is an alien beast after all! Besides, the Sergeant Major has already promised that as long as you can do it, he can grant you what you proposed that day."

Song Yu seemed to think for a while, and finally softened his tone, "I can't promise you, I have to discuss it with him."

"Waiting for your reply."

On this side, Song Yu stood there in a daze after hanging up the phone. She felt extremely uncomfortable. The strange feeling when facing Wu Lingjiu and Ye Min's words just now were still ringing in her ears. She didn't know how to tell Wu Lingjiu that she wanted him to help her enemies attack her home.

That's cruel.

Although he was asked for help before, they were dealing with real strange beasts. Wu Lingjiu never regarded them as his own kind. Although Song Yu always said that he was a strange beast, he did not equate him with those beast-shaped and low-IQ guys.

But the mermaids were different, they were his real family. Although one could guess from his few words that his father was not kind to him and that his brothers and sisters were not close to him, could a child become an enemy of all his relatives just because of these things?

"Homeowner..."

Everyone who heard the conversation between Song Yu and Ye Min was looking at Song Yu.

"You..." Tang Zhishu held Song Yu's hand.

Song Yu knew that he was a man who was willing to sacrifice for his country and his people.

"I know what to—"

"If you really don't want to do that, don't force it."

"We can meet up with the Fourth Military Region now and try to save as many lives as possible. There are five of us, two SS-level and three S-level. I believe we can recover a lot of losses." Jiang Yan said.

Song Yu let go of Tang Zhishu's hand and hesitated for a moment.

"Let's ask Wu Lingjiu. Commander Ye Min also agreed to my request that day. He will give Wu Lingjiu a chance to live in human society. This should be Wu Lingjiu's own choice."

As she spoke, she walked without stopping towards the small house where everyone was just having fun.

But, the room was empty.

Wu Ling had not had any human communication equipment for a long time, and he had always appeared or disappeared on his own initiative. Song Yu was also used to him appearing at any time, but this time, she suddenly felt relieved by his disappearance.

But everything only lasted for a few seconds, and Wu Lingjiu appeared in front of the sugar jar again.

"Sister." Wu Lingjiu tilted her head and smiled, like a child who knew nothing about the world. "Let's go. I heard your call."

"You, are willing?"

"As long as my sister is willing, I am willing."

"They are your relatives. I don't blame you if you don't help me this time." Song Yu tried to explain.

"I'm not close to them." Wu Lingjiu said.

Song Yu went over and wanted to touch his face, but then retracted his hand, "Okay, this time, thank you very much."

"They've already left." Ye Min said at the meeting, "Let's send those researchers over in half an hour."

Wu Lingjiu was almost exhausted after traveling through space with so many people. Fortunately, the sea was the world of mermaids. He felt more comfortable in the sea water than on land and recovered faster.

The place Song Yu and his friends arrived at was not the mermaid palace, but a dark sea. However, their ultimate goal was still the mermaid palace, as it seemed that there was the entrance closest to the cavity below.

The SS-class can travel underwater without special equipment. Song Yu has Wu Lingjiu's bubble, while Tang Zhishu and Sha Lang can only wear diving suits. Fortunately, the diving suits of this era are not so bulky.

Soon, they found the space travel device. Within a few minutes, eight researchers dressed like eight small flying cars emerged from the light gate opened by the space travel device. They were not as high-level as Song Yu and his team to withstand the pressure of seawater.

In addition to the eight people, they also brought four large boxes of equipment, which is said to be streamlined.

The route map is also in their hands. Fortunately, the communicators of this era are implanted in the skin and will not be affected by sea water. As long as they are not taken out, some functions can be used even if there is no signal.

The few of them tried to be as restrained as possible, as they thought they might encounter mermaids on the way and might even alert the enemy, but surprisingly, they encountered nothing except a few C- and D-level fish and crabs along the way.

Not a single mermaid.

"I remember you said before that there are many mermaids here? And a mermaid city?" Song Yu asked Wu Lingjiu.

Wu Lingjiu nodded. "At least hundreds of thousands of mermen live in this sea area. I don't know if it can be considered a city, but we'll call it a city."

Several people looked at each other and felt that something was strange.

The researchers collected small amounts of samples as they walked. Song Yu didn't understand what they were doing, but he diligently helped pull several large boxes with a branch.

Researchers are amazed by this behavior, where the matcher is on guard and the appeaser does the physical work.

But the reason behind this is actually very simple. The branches can pass through the water and the ground under the water, and dragging the box is effortless. In addition, Wu Lingjiu's bubbles helped her solve the water pressure problem. In fact, Song Yu was the most relaxed, and even his clothes were not wet.

However, several matchmakers, especially the S-level Tang Zhishu and Sha Lang, were already struggling to cope with the water pressure. If they were to carry such a large box, they would drag the team down.

Wu Lingjiu was even more pitiful. Because he was overdrawn, he was placed on a box and pulled away.

"what's the situation?"

The group began to slowly approach the place where the mermaids were. They could already see the huge water curtain wall with the help of high beams, but there was still no mermaid.

"It's really strange. Let's be careful."

The group, with Han Zhuo and Sha Lang leading the way, Tang Zhishu and Jiang Yan following behind, Song Yu dragging a box with several researchers in the middle, Wu Lingjiu lying on the box, just walked forward. They tried their best to use some huge seaweed as cover. After walking for nearly an hour, they found that there were no mermaids at all.

"You guys take a rest for a while, I'll go explore the way first." Han Zhuo said.

After Song Yu nodded in agreement, Han Zhuo went through the small door at the corner of the water curtain wall first.

It is impossible to replenish nutrients underwater, and the physical strength of several scientific researchers is limited, so they cannot consume too much energy.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Han Zhuo came back.

"It's indeed a mermaid palace inside, and there are town-like buildings outside, but there's no one there."

Ye Min could no longer be contacted at this time, and the team had to make all the decisions on their own.

If she encountered a large-scale mermaid attack, she would not be surprised. At most, she would fight them to the death. At present, the only thing that could scare her was the mermaid king and the huge number of mermaids, but now there was nothing. The surroundings were terribly quiet, and she became uneasy.
