Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Bai Beibei's nerves were on edge the moment Chi Xing took out his phone.

He knew that this thing was a human invention used for communication, and that's how the person named Chi Lin contacted others.

Bai Beibei loathed that human; he was the one who plotted to capture the mermaids.

Bai Yu was looking at her tablet when Chi Xing suddenly called. Without thinking, Bai Yu answered the phone.

It wasn't until Bai Beibei saw Bai Yu on the screen that he had no choice but to believe what Chi Xing had said.

Bai Yu also looked at Bai Beibei, who was locked up on the other side of the screen, and her face instantly darkened.

He was always gentle in front of the younger generation, and this was the first time Bai Beibei had ever seen him angry. She was so frightened that her tail trembled.

Bai Beibei hesitated for a moment before calling out "Uncle."

“You came out with Chixing, and these humans are all bad people,” Baiyu said in mermaid language.

Bai Beibei was very obedient and dared not utter a word of rebuttal. The top of the water tank was a glass roof, but the water tank did not reach the top, and there was still space for him to come out.

Akahoshi brought over a smaller water tank and had him jump down. A wheelchair was also prepared outside to take him back.

After placing the water tank in its proper position, Akahoshi couldn't wait to point his phone at himself.

"Ayu, you have no idea how terrifying this place is." Akahoshi looked terrified.

He continued, "There are still many bodyguards guarding outside. I almost got caught just now."

When Bai Yu heard him say that he had almost been caught, his heart tightened:

"Are you alright? Are you hurt? If you're really not feeling well, don't bring Bai Beibei out yet. I don't see any injuries on him."

Bai Beibei, who just jumped out of the water tank: ...

Bai Beibei initially didn't believe this person's claim that he was the Queen, but after hearing her uncle say it, she believed it.

He whispered, "Uncle, I was wrong."

Bai Beibei was really scared. That day, he was arranged to go to the underground auction house for an auction. He didn't know what Chi Lin was thinking, but he suddenly offered a high price to buy him back.

It was clearly Chi Lin who brought people to capture him at sea, but now he bought him back himself. Bai Beibei really couldn't understand what humans were thinking.

Neither Chixing nor Baiyu paid any attention to Bai Beibei. Chixing sighed and said, "I... I have something to do. Those people scared me just now. I need Ayu's comfort."

He put on a pitiful expression again, and Bai Yu felt sorry for him. She regretted letting Xingxing take the risk.

"Then I'll promise you anything when you come back. Just remember to come back safely," Bai Yu said worriedly.

Not wanting to scare the little mermaid too much, Akahoshi decided to stop while she was ahead: "Actually, it's not that serious. As long as Ayu stays with me, that's enough."

After hanging up the phone, Akahoshi led Bai Beibei outside.

This wasn't Ayu, so Chixing naturally wouldn't hug him. Bai Beibei didn't dare let the Queen hug him either, and just silently dragged his long tail behind them as he slowly moved out.

As I approached the exit, I heard a few long, drawn-out whistles, like sobs or cries of anguish.

Bai Beibei stopped abruptly, her eyes widening.

"Your Majesty, I think I hear the cries of other mermaids."

When he was captured, Bai Beibei didn't see any other mermaids. Now he remembered the other mermaids who had come out with him.

Could they have been caught too?

Bai Beibei's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly moved towards the direction from which the mermaid had made the sound.

Akahoshi followed behind him and soon arrived at the place where the little black cat had been.

There were several mermaids in the small tank. They were clearly on the verge of death. The water was murky, and the mermaids had large and small wounds and needle marks on their arms.

The instruments on the wall indicated that these mermaids had been captured and studied; several scales had even been plucked from the orange-red mermaid's tail.

Fish scales are the mermaid's most important defense. The pain of removing scales is no less than that of losing a finger. It is also because of their strong self-healing ability that this orange-red mermaid would have had a hard time surviving.

Bai Beibei let out a mournful sound, moved to the edge of the water tank, and braced her hands on the glass of the tank.

When the other mermaids saw him, they immediately said, "Get out of here quickly! Those people are bad. Get out of here!"

Seeing their miserable state, Bai Beibei panicked completely, and tears fell one by one, turning into bright white pearls.

The little black cat walked up to Bai Beibei, carrying a small cloth bag in its mouth, and tilted its head back to catch the pearls.

This is a great item; you can exchange it for a lot of points in its store.

The system points of 250 are obtained by helping the host complete tasks, but given the opportunity, it will still try to exchange valuable items for points.

For example, the wild beasts and herbs of the past world, and the mermaid tears of this world—these are all good things.

Chi Xing glanced at him, but tacitly refrained from interrupting Bai Beibei.

Listening to the mermaids' words, Akahoshi finally understood how they had been captured.

These six mermaids were well protected from a young age and had never left the city. Now that they have come of age, they are eager to venture out into the world.

As a result, they accidentally walked to the edge of the north city, and a sudden force blew open the city gate, and the mermaids were swept out.

Bai Beibei arrived at the Great Triangle of the ocean and was discovered by a research vessel that was secretly passing by. The tranquilizer gun missed him, but he was unlucky and ran right into a fishing net.

The more it struggled, the tighter it was bound in the fishing net, and that's how Bai Beibei was caught.

The other mermaids were captured by boats disguised as fishing vessels. They were all shot with tranquilizer guns and captured, with no chance of escape.

Moreover, the glass tank contained a drug that made the mermaids lose their strength, which is why the mermaids seemed to be exhausted and half-submerged.

"What will you do if I leave?" Bai Beibei was still crying.

Seeing his people being killed like this, he felt even more disgusted with those humans and wished he could feed them to the sharks.

The gray mermaid shook her head, looking distressed, and said:

“It’s no use. We’re too weak to get out. Besides, I heard those humans say that there are more than a dozen mermaids in another base. They might be the mermaids who suddenly disappeared before.”

Bai Beibei gritted her teeth, hatred surfacing in her eyes; those were all her people…

As if recalling something Chi Lin had said, Bai Beibei turned to Chi Xing and said, "Your Majesty, you should go back. I cannot leave."

He couldn't abandon his people and go back alone. His uncle was a king, and his second uncle was General Bai Ji. He couldn't leave his people here unattended.

Akahoshi raised an eyebrow: "You hate humans?"

Bai Beibei's eyes were red: "If someone harms your family, will the Queen stand idly by?"

Without waiting for Akahoshi's reply, he placed his hand on the glass tank, attempting to smash it.

If possible, he wanted to rescue the mermaids now and let Akahoshi take them away, even if it was just one mermaid.

At that moment, the 250 in Akahoshi's mind spoke: [Your Highness, someone is coming! Quickly hide!]
