Mermaid Wharf

31

The moment they found me, I clearly felt that the atmosphere of despair in this narrow space became stronger.They looked at me in horror, struggling to move their crippled bodies into the corner, as if they were afraid that they would be chosen by the god of death in front of them.

I took a step forward, and quickly realized that I couldn't face them with the same face as Angelo, so I hurried back the same way, went to the storage compartment full of medicines, and took the medical kit. He put on a turban and goggles at the door, and then stepped in again.

Thinking of the cells where the death row prisoners were held in Angelo's mouth, my hand holding the medical box trembled slightly, and suddenly I couldn't bear to look at their shocking severed limbs and wounds.I don't know what bad things they have done, but it is absolutely inhumane to conduct experiments on prisoners without authorization. No matter who is suffering this kind of persecution, I can't do nothing to save them.

Walking to a thin young man who was closest to me, I noticed that almost all the parts below the base of his thigh had been amputated, and one of his arms was also broken. It was dangerous, but he was still breathing hard, and he could see that he had a strong desire to survive.

The hygienic conditions in the cabin were too bad, I suspected that he would not survive tonight, so I hurriedly took out alcohol and a clean bandage, only to see him raise his head vigilantly. "...Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you." I tried to comfort you in a gentle tone, and raised my hands to show that I didn't have any murder weapons.

Seeing that he looked confused, but no longer tried to avoid me, I quickly removed the rags and started to clean up the inflamed carrion on his severed limb.I don't have a formal medical background like Angelo, so I can only help him treat the wound cleanly. After that, life or death depends entirely on his own destiny.

Even so, even if he can survive in such a harsh environment, this level of high amputation is doomed that he will no longer be able to enjoy the rest of his life calmly; thinking of the sleeping demon not far away, I frowned. The suppressed hatred also welled up again.

After wrapping up the bandage for the young man in front of him, he handed over a bottle of fresh water. His complexion has improved a lot, and he propped up his upper body and thanked him weakly: "Thank you, kind sir, what should I call you?"

I packed up the remaining bandages and moved to a young man who looked more robust beside him. While observing the injury on his right leg, I replied casually, "Just call me Moran."

He nodded: "My name is Quentin, and I am the captain of the Undead."

Hearing this, I froze in place.

He turned his head with great effort, and said to the strong young man in front of me: "Thank you to Mr. Moran, first mate."

The young man known as the first mate slightly opened his tired eyes, his eyes fell on the sailor suit on me, and he snorted coldly and said: "Where did you come from, he is obviously also a person on this ship, and he is still here with the uncle What kind of hypocrisy do you play; kill or cut as you like, even if I go to hell, I will drag this boat with me!"

"Shut up, Mason!" Quentin yelled at him, gritted his teeth, "...do you think we can get through tonight without this gentleman?"

……

I looked at the two people who were quarreling in front of me, and suddenly felt a little unreal.

The scarred young pirate in front of him is undoubtedly Quentin, the captain of the Undead ten years later, and his first mate Mason.The chaotic brain was trying to digest the scene in front of me, I was holding the bandage in my hand in a daze, and suddenly realized that this might be the favor they owed back then——

It was me who saved the lives of these pirates ten years ago.

"Well, if you don't mind..." After a long silence, I looked up at Quentin, "I'm just a temporary worker, and I don't know much about what happened on this ship before, can you tell me what happened to you? "

Mason still looked at me coldly, but Quentin obviously believed me completely, and told me what happened to them in a weak and hoarse voice.

It turned out that they were just a group of stunned youths who had just been diverted from the famous pirate fleet Thunder, because the notorious Thunder had long been wanted by various countries on the sea, and they were chased and killed by the Royal Fleet wherever they went. He intends to break away from the shackles of the old man and set sail again, focusing on maritime trade in the future.

When the brand-new Undead stopped at Bayak Harbor, they went ashore to trade supplies, but they forgot to replace the sails of the Thunder. As a result, the captain of the ship, who was very happy, saw it and immediately directed the ship to be hired to do it. The noble bodyguard's former navy captured them, claiming to teach a group of pirates who wanted to rob the Arctic Delight.

"We thought that no matter how bad it was, we would be sent back to Britain to be imprisoned, but unexpectedly, we got into trouble with that psychotic doctor." Quentin frowned as he spoke, as if recalling the tragedy at that time, with a look on his face. Some are slightly whitish.

"That day he suddenly broke in with an operating box, with a strange surprise and enthusiasm on his face, and then began... At first, I was only cut off my arm, and most of the others only lost their organs and legs. Mason's younger brother With his legs removed, he happily walked away with those limbs like a hellish ghost."

When he said this, the eyes of Mason next to him were scarlet, and his knuckles clenched by his side were rattling.I looked around, and besides Quentin, there was no second pirate who had lost his legs, so my heart tightened, and I didn't inquire about it wisely.

"I thought he was trying to make some unknown creature like Frankenstein, and he was ready to die; he came again at night, wrote and scratched on his operation record, and then put the dead All the people were dragged out and thrown into the sea.

"...

"The wound on my arm was not fatal, and I survived another night like this, thinking that I could escape, but the next day, he rushed in again with an ecstatic expression.

"He picked me this time. As he held the saw up high as he did yesterday when he unloaded Brother Mason's legs, I heard him yelling some gibberish that I couldn't understand, saying that he Unexpectedly, he did not die, and his operation could continue; he also said that he would be famous in history, becoming the first famous doctor in the world to let a mermaid stand on land.

"He didn't show up here for a week after that, until he just took a look at it suddenly; it's really dark and damp here, and usually sailors rarely think of bringing us food and water. You showed up later in the evening."

As Quentin spoke, he gave me a thankful look again, and said sincerely:

"The Undead will always remember your kindness. If we can survive this time, no matter what you need the Undead to do in the future, we will come to repay the favor at all costs."

……

The clear heartbeat sounded in my ears, and what else he said, I couldn't hear clearly.

I only know that my Villiga is really still alive, and already has human legs, leaving the sea and walking on land like a real human being; A young man struggling to survive.

Thinking of this, I squeezed Quentin's hand hanging by my side, and solemnly assured: "You will be fine. I will help you escape in the next few days, for sure; please believe me."

The young pirate captain listened quietly, then gave me a faint smile:

"I trust you."

……

……

After treating the broken arm of the last pirate of the Undead and confirming that his injury would not continue to deteriorate, I briefly cleaned the stuffy cabin, and groped for the storage compartment to bring them enough Only then did he bid farewell to Quentin exhaustedly, and found a small cargo hold piled with cleaning tools in the depths of the aisle to sleep.

After learning the news that Velija was still alive, although he was angry at why he dared to talk to my sister, but he wanted to avoid me, but I also realized that from the current point of view, at least Velija was not controlled by Angelo Stop, this made me let go of most of my hanging heart, and the anxiety of going back to ten years ago has also dissipated a lot.

Thinking of this, I closed my eyes and lay on the hard steel plate, and had a rare and sound sleep; however, in the middle of the night, I woke up with the sound of the sea washing, and I wanted to call my side dryly. It was only when the mermaid handed me water that I realized that my depression hadn't been reduced by half.

Although we have only been together for about a week, I have to admit that our living habits are very compatible, especially whenever I feel thirsty at night, he will wake up in time to help me. I bring a glass of water, and sometimes feed me with my mouth on purpose, and retreat when my desire is aroused, hugging my neck and snickering lowly.

"Villiga..."

When I muttered the name, I vaguely saw a figure sitting beside me in a half-dream and half-awake state.When he heard my unconscious voice, his body froze for a moment, then he bent down and gently stroked the corners of my chapped mouth, as if he thought I was talking in my sleep.

He got up to leave, but came back quickly, holding a full water glass in his hand.He gently raised my head, let me rest between his knees, and lowered the water glass as if to feed me; however, I couldn't cooperate with him in my deep sleep, and let the water in the glass flow into the hollow of my neck , which made him have to take a sip by himself and bow his head to feed it to me.

The moment my lips touched, I pushed down his head and kissed him fiercely. The warm tip of my tongue found the long-awaited old place, and then entangled like fish in water; he responded vaguely, fascinated with me After kissing for a long time, I seemed to wake up. I broke free from my shackles and wanted to leave in a hurry.

I sat up suddenly, and said coldly to his back:

"If you dare to disappear, I will never want you again."

……

After an unknown amount of time, he slowly turned around.I opened my arms towards him, he hesitated for a moment, and finally threw himself into my arms, his soft lips brushing against my cheek warmly.

I heard a dull voice in my arms: "...Mano, don't abandon me again."

"Never abandon, and never abandon." I hugged my lost and recovered lover tightly, and whispered a promise in his ear, "I promise."

In the darkness, the sound of the heartbeat became more and more clear between the chests that were pressed against each other, and a tear also slipped down quietly and landed on the crest of my neck.

"Then, I believe you."
