How to keep a human in captivity?

Merfolk usually divide this step into three steps.

First of all, you have to prepare an environment suitable for human habitation.

Second, you have to prepare enough food.

Finally, and this is of course the most important thing, you have to have a human.

Zombies usually simplify these steps into one sentence: Invade people's houses and eat their brains.

Oh, and zombies never keep their own food in captivity.

So they deserve to be hungry.

Of course hunger can't kill a zombie, and breaking their spine can make them permanently incapacitated, but that doesn't mean death.

The death of zombies probably can only rely on natural decay.

Believe me, it will be a long and long process, the preliminary calculation is 99 million years.

The topic is far away, let us return to our story.

In fact, our story does take place on the earth, but it is not the earth you are familiar with.In short, we can summarize the present earth as follows: there are three kinds of creatures living on the present earth, the mermaids are in the sea, the zombies are on land, and as for the human beings, they are in the sky.

Since the zombies took over the land, humans haven't shown up on the land for a long, long time, and the mermaids are immune to the zombie virus.

Oh, and please don't mention this to the mermaids: Zombies were humans in life.

Merfolk hate zombies terribly, and will tear any zombie invading their territory in half, and did I mention that merfolk are usually incredibly strong?

On the contrary, they love human beings passionately, and they love human beings' love.

Their longing for love is as sincere as the tears they shed. All creatures know that the tears of mermaids will condense into pearls.

Merfolk take good care of humans if they are willing to try.

—Mermaids never lie.

It's a pity that the human beings are hiding in the air. In fact, the mermaids haven't seen a living human being for a long, long time.

Life under the sea is so monotonous and boring.

And the beginning of our story also happened in a monotonous and boring morning.

Mermaid Arthur has a shell house. He decorated his house beautifully with seaweed, but he is still anxious. Mermaids say he is anxious, but Arthur will not admit it.

He tries to prove to the merfolk that he is a merman with healthy habits, but his plans always fail.

Life under the sea is too peaceful, and Arthur urgently needs a change.

It was a thing all merfolk agreed to, and they had to find something for poor Arthur to do.

for example?

For example, keeping a human in captivity.

The mermaids were very happy to help Arthur, and they searched all the sea areas with great interest.

But how can there be humans living in the sea?

As Arthur settled for his breakfast—which was usually a tasty piece of fish—he thought casually that his own kind were too fussy.

But at least they didn't try to tear down their own house, Arthur had a horrible dream last night, in the dream, he was a human being, owning a house, but the committee pulled it down, just because humans needed to build a highway highway.Ten minutes before the earth was about to be destroyed, he lost his house! (Note 1)

Incidentally, that was bad in every sense of the word.

Fortunately, the mermaids don't need to build passages, sea water is their most wonderful means of transportation, they can go anywhere they want.

Also, the earth is safe, there is no sign of being or will be destroyed.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is nothing to worry about or worry about in my life.

After Arthur finished his breakfast, he decided to go out for a walk. He had to prove that he really had a very healthy lifestyle.

But what entertainment can there be at the bottom of the sea?

Arthur had enough seaweed, no, absolutely not, and he didn't want to collect any more.

Looking for clam pearls?No no no, he is not a female mermaid, he is not that interested in those shiny things.

If he hadn't caught a longtooth fish yesterday that was enough to feed him for a week, maybe he would have had some activity today, like hunting with other merfolk or something.

It's a pity that he is a bachelor, and the whole family has enough to eat.

In the end, he could only float to the surface of the sea and sit on the reef to bask in the moon.

Ever since human beings disappeared from the land, there has not been a single ship sailing by in the sea, and the blue sea is as wide, lonely and deep as it appears.

But, now, his leisurely days seem to be coming to an end.

His good friend, a mermaid Ford with black eyes and a black fish tail, floated out of the sea. His posture in the water was very bad, and he inevitably splashed the sea water all over Arthur.

"Arthur! Hey! How are you?"

Ford's greeting was never new, but Arthur was used to it.

"As you can see," Arthur replied, "I'm enjoying my life."

"Then your life is really bad enough." Before Arthur got angry, Ford quickly stated his purpose, "I have a big discovery, and I believe you will be interested in my discovery!"

Arthur was less interested in it.

His life has always been lacklustre, and he's used to it.

But the kindness from Ford was not so easy to refuse, and Arthur was finally dragged into the sea by Ford.Together they swam toward a coral cave that Ford had discovered, following a few sea urchins along the way, the thorny food he was always very adept at.He enthusiastically distributed the food to Arthur, but of course he was rejected.

Finally, Ford forced a shelled sea urchin into Arthur's hand: "You need a little food to stop your surprise." He explained.

Arthur swore nothing would surprise him.

Before 30 seconds minutes.

Thirty seconds later, Arthur nervously chewed the sea urchin in his mouth, and asked stiffly, "What's in the coral?"

"On the outside, he's a human being."

"There can't be a human being on the bottom of the sea!" Arthur retorted. "How did he survive?"

"This is a freezer, I guess." Ford knocked on the container that looked cold and hard but was surprisingly transparent, and he clicked casually curiously.

At that moment, Arthur swore he definitely felt an unusual wave in the sea around him.

"…and you opened it."

Arthur and Ford stared at each other, and saw horror in each other's eyes.

They frantically tried to close the freezer. You must know that it is absolutely impossible for human beings to survive in such a deep seabed. The reason why he has survived unscathed until now is definitely because of the protection of this container.

The freezer is being activated, it looks like a box about to be opened.

Arthur and Ford watched in horror.

Note 1: Arthur's dream is the content of the movie "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".
