Ruan Ke rubbed his head, still not satisfied with what had been done so far.
While he was working on it, Xie Chiyuan wasn't idle either.
Xie Chiyuan is currently engaged in business dealings.
He made contact with Red Bird. Although he had beaten Red Bird's mutant subordinates half to death a few days ago, Xie Chiyuan was now negotiating prices with them as if nothing had happened.
The Red Bird Organization has always been neutral and never takes sides among the forces in the four human districts.
Xie Chiyuan had to ensure that Chi Niao wouldn't do anything reckless in the future.
The Southwest District and the East District have always been on good terms. The East District tends to be a peacemaker, while the North District is ambitious and has never been very honest.
Xie Chiyuan didn't want to see Red Bird have any connection with the Northern District.
As the sun gradually set, Yu An finally came out and picked up Xiao Jiu. Xiao Jiu had been squatting near the laboratory door, and as soon as she saw Yu An, she jumped over.
Yu An put the small white mushroom into his pocket and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sweetie, I got you some nutritional paste, let's go somewhere else to eat it!"
"good!"
Yu An left with the little white mushroom. The two of them deliberately avoided people and followed the sound of the waves to find the sea.
The little white mushroom was like a GPS, precisely avoiding all humans, especially the place where Xie Chiyuan was.
I don't know how long I walked.
Yu An walked to a secluded cape by the sea, took off his shoes, and walked barefoot on the sand.
The little white mushroom had no interest in looking at the sea.
Yu An gave him some of the nutritional paste, and packed the rest away.
"Brother, we need to go back quickly."
The little white mushroom said, "The protection in this corner is not good, it's not very safe."
Sunken Fish Island is surrounded by the sea, and it's all deep water. There are watchtowers on the island, so any ships or floating objects on the surface of the sea can be spotted immediately.
However, this is safety as perceived by humans.
There are still hidden dangers for the mutants. The little white mushroom came here simply to avoid humans.
Yu An stepped on the sand, and then stepped into the water.
Yu An loved the cool water, and he even found a stranded little fish: "Xiao Jiu, look, this fish has such a big head, isn't it a big-headed fish!"
You can take the bighead carp back as a gift for Bighead!
Yu An happily picked up the fish, and Little White Mushroom, seeing him pick them up for a while, also came over to watch.
After seeing the fish, his expression changed drastically.
"Big brother! Let's go!"
There's absolutely no way this deep-sea fish could be stranded here!
Unless, they were dumped here by some large fish!
Just as the child-like Xiao Jiu grabbed his older brother's wrist to run away, a huge wave suddenly surged on the calm water, and an ugly fish covered in garbage opened its mouth and bit them.
Xiao Jiu's hyphae pierced fiercely, but the giant fish's eyes were dull, and it showed no reaction to the pain.
"Big brother!"
Mushrooms grown in dry land cannot perform at their best in water, and besides, the white mushrooms of today have already degenerated into their juvenile stage.
He watched his older brother fall into the water, his voice hoarse from shouting.
The change happened too quickly. Compared to that big fish, Yu An was several times larger. In this situation, the only way to save himself was to struggle and paddle.
"I don't taste good!"
Yu An clenched his fist and pounded it against the big fish: "Get out of my way!"
The big fish wouldn't listen; it had a long tusk hanging over him and was dragging him desperately into the sea.
It recognizes this person and wants to take him back.
Xiao Jiu almost went mad, but the water wasn't his domain, and his madness was useless! Even his mutated abilities were immune to this fish.
At this moment, Xiao Jiu's eyes were red, hoping that Xie Chiyuan would come over.
Xie Chiyuan is indeed on his way here.
This mutated fish, which had somehow emerged from the deep sea, seemed to be constantly listless. It hadn't attacked anyone or caused any trouble.
This time, however, it suddenly set its sights on Yu An.
"Instructor, slow down!"
"Instructor, you can't do strenuous exercise! I'm going to find Dr. Tang."
The new student rushed to find Dr. Tang, but Dr. Tang was very busy.
His beloved little butterfly has escaped! The little butterfly's wings are bleeding from the impact, but it still tries to fly away despite its stumbling and falling.
In the sea.
As Yu An's consciousness began to fade, he heard footsteps not far away.
Someone is coming.
He struggled out with all his might, shouting, "Little Jiu, hide!!!"
We can't let Xiao Jiu be discovered.
After giving Xiao Jiu the order, something suddenly rushed over from the sky.
Yu An strained to open his eyes and saw a small, bleeding butterfly. The butterfly was on his chest, clearly indicating that he was about to use his special ability.
"No, you can't."
Yu An hugged the little butterfly tightly, stopping it from flapping its wings.
Even if he were to drown, he would rather his child save him by taking such a life-threatening action.
Chapter 30
The big fish swam desperately in the water, trying to drag Yu An into deeper waters.
However, before they could even get past it, a sharp bone blade suddenly pierced through. The large fish, which had never shown any fear of pain, tilted its head back and let out a mournful cry, spitting out Yu An from its mouth with a "plop."
The large fish, wailing, then shook off the bone blades on its body and turned to run away.
Yu An was violently thrown aside, and in his dazed state, he fell into a strong embrace. He was being held around the waist and led towards the beach.
"Thank you, Brother Xie!"
Tang Xin ran over with Xie Chiyuan and watched as Xie Chiyuan emerged from the water, her heart pounding in her chest.
Fortunately, Xie Chiyuan didn't stubbornly chase after the fleeing mutant fish; otherwise, he didn't even dare to imagine the consequences.
Thinking of this, Tang Xin turned around and yelled at his cousin, "Tang Yi! Quickly take a look at my brother Xie!"
Tang Yi was frantically searching in the shallow water, both anxious and angry: "Wait a minute, I need to find my little butterfly first!"
That's strange!
The little butterfly flew over here, but there wasn't a single butterfly in sight on the vast sea.
Tang Yi, who had stayed up most of the night treating Little Butterfly's injuries, was filled with remorse. He should have kept a closer eye on Little Butterfly.
Tang Yi couldn't find the little butterfly, so Tang Xin urged her to come over as if her life depended on it.
He glanced at Xie Chiyuan reluctantly, his tone heavy with unease: "Go back and lie down, I'll examine you again."
If I rashly pull out the bone blade, I'll probably have to lie in bed for another day or two.
Xie Chiyuan's own wound burst open, but he hadn't yet let go of Yu An's arms.
Tang Xin asked worriedly, "Brother Xie, why don't you leave Yu An to me?"
"Need not."
The dazed Yu An was placed on the beach and given first aid. Within seconds of the first aid being administered, he vomited some water and opened his eyes.
Xie Chiyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had woken up.
Not long after, both of them ended up in the hospital.
Xie Chiyuan was going to receive treatment, and Yu An was also supposed to be taken for a check-up, but he shook his head, insisting that he had no symptoms and refused to be seen by the doctor.
Dr. Tang is heartbroken over the loss of his beloved butterfly and now looks as if he is about to hold a funeral for someone.
Xie Chiyuan glanced at Yu An a few steps away, then looked back at Tang Yi's face. He said irritably, "So what if you picked up a fluttering moth? What's so great about raising that thing?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Yi expressionlessly poured all the disinfectant onto his wound.
"hiss--"
Xie Chiyuan gasped, "Go easy on me!"
Tang Yi remained silent and reapplied medicine to his reopened wound.
Seeing his expression, Xie Chiyuan had no choice but to compromise: "Next time I go out, if I see any fluttering moths or small flying insects, I'll catch them all for you to keep as many as you like. Is that alright?"
Tang Yi sneered: "Ha!"
His little butterfly is an extremely rare and precious butterfly; if you miss it, you won't be able to find it easily again!
Tang Yi, increasingly annoyed, continued to "treat" Xie Chiyuan.
Yu An glanced at Tang Yi, whose face looked pale, then at Xie Chiyuan, who was enduring the pain. He pursed his lips and quietly slipped out.
His room was near Xie Chiyuan's ward; they all lived in this area.
After arriving at the room.
Yu An saw that Little White Mushroom had returned. Little White Mushroom looked lost and dejected, sitting in a chair in a daze.
"Big brother!"
