Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

The main reason is that Bai Beibei is still very young. If she saw those harmed mermaids, Bai Yu couldn't guarantee that Bai Beibei would still be able to maintain her rationality.

If Bai Beibei were to fight with humans, given their methods, Bai Beibei would likely be no match for them.

Akahoshi nodded: "Okay, let's set off tomorrow after everything is arranged."

The next day, after arranging things at the company with his assistant, Akahoshi took Hakuyu out to sea.

Following the route provided by 250, Akahoshi successfully arrived at a small island closest to the location of Shirabebe in his yacht.

"We can't go there by yacht, or we'll be discovered." Akahoshi took out his diving equipment.

That's the downside of being in the sea; Akahoshi can't breathe underwater and has to rely on oxygen tanks.

However, he is now an adult, not a child, so diving in the sea is not a problem for him at all.

A man and a fish jumped into the sea from the boat at the same time. The long, white and silver hair floated down the seawater and landed on Akahoshi. The fish's muscular body made Akahoshi's eyes burn with desire, and he wished he could be in the sea...

But for now, business is more important. Once this is over, Akahoshi promises that they will definitely have a great harmony of life in the sea.

A colorful school of fish appeared before them, but the two had no time to admire it. Baiyu grabbed Chixing's wrist with one hand and swung her tail to quickly dart forward.

The Mermaid King was powerful, and soon he reached the vicinity of his destination, where the seabed was surrounded by dense reefs and seaweed.

If it weren't for the location being pinpointed, even Akahoshi probably wouldn't have known that there was a secret research institute inside.

The entire research institute is located in the sea, and in the sea, it is just a small, dilapidated building. No one would imagine that this is a place for studying mermaids.

Squeezing through the narrow gap, the circle of rocks resembled a hidden city, with the buildings in the center standing out starkly from top to bottom.

Several cameras seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around. Bai Yu quickly pulled Chi Xing to hide in the water plants.

Chixing shook his head, indicating that he shouldn't be afraid.

Holding Bai Yu's hand, they swam forward. When the camera shone on them again, it was as if nothing was being filmed; there was no reaction whatsoever.

Bai Yu couldn't help but wonder, but this wasn't the place to talk, and he wouldn't be foolish enough to ask.

After swimming along the side of the research institute for a while, Akahoshi quickly found the entrance provided by the little black cat.

This is a drain outlet. They usually open it at midnight to drain the dirty water from the pool. Akahoshi might be able to get in through this drain outlet.

Having figured out the entrance, Akahoshi took Hakuyu out and planned to return that night.

After emerging from the sea, Bai Yu brought Chi Xing to the surface. Looking back, the research institute on land was indeed just a small courtyard with dilapidated buildings.

There was clearly someone guarding the entrance; it was a German man. He didn't notice the sea, nor did he see the Red Star and the White Jade.

At night, after having dinner, the two went back into the water and swam downstream along the route they had scouted.

This time, Baiyu swam with Chixing, and they reached the research institute's drainage outlet much faster.

At that moment, a strong wind swept across the sea, and the rumbling thunder seemed to sense what was about to happen.

Then large raindrops began to fall, accompanied by lightning. In the midst of the torrential rain and strong winds, the pool was forced to open prematurely to drain the water.

At that moment, Akahoshi and Shirayu arrived at the location. Seeing that the drainage outlet had opened, Shirayu took Akahoshi upstream without saying a word.

Inside the research institute, a staff member was preparing to wait until all the water in the pool was drained before cleaning it.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed by, diverting his attention.

He shook his head, thinking he must have seen wrong, and prepared to get back to work when the shadow flashed past again.

"What is that?" the man couldn't help but shout.

But there was no one around at night, and he was a little scared. He hurriedly wanted to finish his work as soon as possible and leave.

"Woooooooo..."

A soft, mournful cry rang out, and the man was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his back.

He glanced at the pool, which was cleaned daily and wasn't very dirty, so he simply threw down his tools and ran away quickly.

Once it was sure no one was around, the little black cat emerged from the shadows.

The drain was still open, and after a short while a beautiful silver mermaid emerged from it, accompanied by a man in a diving suit.

"Meow," the little black cat meowed softly.

"Your Highness, you've finally arrived."

It had been waiting here for quite a while.

Akahoshi removed the oxygen mask from her face and shook the water off her hair: "Ayu, is anything bothering you?"

"No, is this your kitten?" Bai Yu asked, looking at the little black cat on the ground.

The little black cat felt the oppressive aura emanating from the Mermaid King and dared not approach.

If it were a celestial being from another world, the little black cat would have already jumped into the celestial being's arms. But this world is different. The celestial being is a mermaid. The little black cat is afraid of water, and even more afraid of such a powerful mermaid.

He could only stand there, staring blankly at the stunning mermaid king, and even wanted to lower his head.

“Yes, this is also your cat, and it can understand human speech,” Akahoshi said.

Bai Yu wasn't surprised, because their merfolk race could also understand human speech.

Without lingering, the two left the house, led by the little black cat.

This is underground, and the corridor lights are all on, with laboratories on both sides.

250: [These doors all require fingerprints to open, so the leader couldn't check each one individually. He could only locate a few rooms that might contain mermaids by listening to the sounds.]

Chixing told Baiyu everything that 250 had said.

After discussing it, they decided to go and check on the mermaids first to make sure they were all there.

The little black cat led them for a few minutes. The doors of the rooms here were all different colors, and they could hear people talking from time to time.

"There are patrols here, Your Highness, please be careful," the little black cat warned.

At a bend in the road, the two encountered a German man holding a stun gun. Just as Bai Yu was about to take action, the man suddenly collapsed to the ground, as if he had fallen asleep.

"No need to fight, lest we alert them." Chi Xing put his arm around Bai Yu and continued walking forward.

The weight of the white jade was almost entirely on Chi Xing's body. He couldn't walk very fast using his tail, but it was still much better than before.

After turning left and right several times, Bai Yu suddenly heard a mournful cry belonging to a mermaid.

He confirmed that the sound was coming from the door in front of him, and that Akahoshi had already used divine power to open the fingerprint lock.

The moment the door opened, Bai Yu saw a pink mermaid on the ground, dragging a somewhat rotten tail, holding a knife in her hand, about to plunge it into her heart.

At the critical moment, Bai Yu swept her tail, and the tail fin knocked the knife out of her hand, which then embedded itself in the wall behind her.

The suicide attempt failed. The pink mermaid didn't even look in their direction, but slowly collapsed to the ground, her eyes glazed over, seemingly devoid of any will to live.
