Chapter 507 Look, there’s a mermaid (5)
There was food, but there was nothing around to make a fire. Yun Qian couldn't eat the small fish raw.
In addition, it was getting late, so the fisherman would be worried if he didn't go back, so Yun Qian stood up holding the fish and patted the fine sand on her skirt.
"Okay, thank you for the fish, but I should go," Yun Qian waved her hand, "I hope to see you next time."
Muir tilted his head in confusion.
Oh...I forgot that fish can't understand.
Yun Qian waved his hand again, turned around and walked in the direction he came from, his figure gradually disappearing behind the large leaves of the trees.
Muir stared at the trees for a long time, then slowly buried himself in the water, leaving only his eyes exposed.
Rude humans, Muir thought.

The research institute is very busy every day. The experiments are like a bottomless pit that can never be completed. Everyone wearing a white coat comes and goes in a hurry.
Yun Qian came out of a laboratory with several reports in his hands and his goggles still hanging around his neck. He turned around and started to dive into the next experiment.
Nie Yu walked over and stood side by side with Yun Qian, "Are these the material sample reports that were delivered yesterday?"
Yun Qian nodded, "Material sampling report of abnormal eruption of small volcano."
With the continuous development of science and technology, various pollutions are inevitably leaked into nature, causing many abnormal natural phenomena.
"By the way, how is your research on mermaid scales going?" Yun Qian closed the report and asked.
Nie Yu shook his head regretfully, "You can't learn much from just a piece of fish scale."
Presumably, the substances that can be retained on fish scales are limited, and most experiments require more materials to be repeated for quantitative or non-quantitative experiments.
Yun Qian smiled and said, "Take your time, don't rush this moment."
……
After working for a day, Yun Qian returned home and felt that her bones were about to fall apart and her eyes were a little sore from overuse.
Yun Qian walked into the home and collapsed on the sofa, her eyes unconsciously drifting towards the TV.
There was a small fish tank next to the TV. There was only one fish in it, which was the little fish that Muir "rewarded" her.
Later that day, Yun Qian did not eat the small fish, but took the small fish home. Fortunately, he returned in time and troubled the fisherman to borrow a small fish tank, so that the small fish could survive.
In fact, after that day, Yun Qian also went to the beach separated by trees, but never saw the beautiful mermaid again.
Thinking of Muir, Yun Qian inevitably thought of the information about ancient Atlantis that he had found in the past few days.
There are not many ancient books about Atlantis, because people are not sure whether this place was made up by our ancestors, so it is difficult to find it, and there is not much that can be known.
Yun Qian thought about it and suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed.
The target of the attack does not see people every day. He is still a fish. When he walks into the sea, he cannot find any trace of the fish.
Which strategy should she go to?
Fortunately, there is a road to the mountain. When Yun Qian walked into the entrance of the institute the next day, he happened to meet a young assistant coming out of an office.
"Dr. Yun, are you here?" The assistant held a pile of documents and struggled to poke his head out from the side.
Yun Qian nodded and helped the assistant share some information. When he turned around, he was almost hit by the hurried researchers.
The researcher hurriedly apologized and quickly turned away.
"What are they in such a hurry for?" Yun Qian asked.
The assistant glanced at the direction the researchers left and said, "It seems that a mermaid was found in another area of the sea."
"I heard from some doctors in the office just now that they encountered a group of mermaids this time."
"Swarm of mermaids?" Yun Qian opened his eyes in surprise.
"Well," the assistant nodded, "There seems to be a photo among the large groups in the institute. I'll look for it for you."
The little assistant awkwardly took out his cell phone from his pocket, swiped it twice, and clicked on a picture, "Here, this is it."
There are no less than five mermaids in the sea area in the photo. These are not what attract Yun Qian the most. What attracts Yun Qian's attention is the silvery-white head that is not fully photographed in the lower right corner of the photo.
"........."
There was a soft "bang" sound, and the pile of information that Yun Qian had just shared with the assistant was put back into the assistant's arms. The assistant almost lost her balance without checking for a moment. When she poked her head out again, her doctor had already run away. Far.
Only the voice floated over from far away: "Something happened to me suddenly, please come on!"
Assistant: "...??"
It was indeed a bit sudden.
Although I came out a little late, I finally caught the bus to the research institute on the beach.
What a coincidence, Nie Yu was also sitting inside.
Seeing Yun Qian rushing in at a furious speed just as the car door was about to close, Nie Yu's expression was unsurprising: "Have you seen that picture too?"
Yun Qian nodded and looked around. The researchers were all in the car. "Didn't you take the photo?"
Nie Yu shook his head and said: "It was taken by a fisherman who went out to sea and contacted us immediately."
"So you are going to...catch them back?" Yun Qian asked doubtfully.
"If possible, of course it would be best to catch one," Nie Yu said and then helplessly spread his hands, "But you also know that the sea is their home field, whether they can catch it or not is another matter."
After receiving a positive answer, Yun Qian hoped that the car could drive slower, preferably until the mermaid group had dispersed.
Slowly... Muir has also left.
After just a few encounters, Yun Qian could probably tell that Muir's status in the mermaid community should be very high, otherwise the mermaids would not listen to Muir's words so much.
He restrained the norms of those mermaids, seeming to draw a certain boundary between them and humans, but Muir himself didn't seem to worry about anything.
They will lie on the beach and appear in places where fishing boats hang out.
Thinking about it like this, Yun Qian actually tasted something different. This noble mermaid seemed a little naughty.
She smiled involuntarily, causing Nie Yu to look at her: "What are you laughing at?"
Yun Qian put away her smile, coughed twice, sat upright and said, "It's nothing."
After getting off the bus, we took a boat again and arrived at the sea area in the photo. It was almost an hour later when we saw the fishing boats still there.
The mermaid group had long since disappeared. Yun Qian breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and then boarded the fishing boat with Nie Yu.
Nie Yu asked the fishermen relevant information, such as when the mermaid appeared and when she left.
Yun Qian held the mast to relieve the fatigue from the long car and boat rides, and looked at the calm water.
Suddenly, Yun Qian felt something was wrong.
One area of the water surface fluctuated more violently than others, and then the familiar big tail fin quickly appeared, and then the water surface returned to calm.
Yun Qian: "..."
Okay, no more guessing.
That mermaid is just a little skinny.
