The Cannon Fodder Doesn't Want to Die

Chapter 43

He froze for a moment and immediately realized that he had come to a very bad point in time.

He had to hurry back into the water!

He tried to get up, but this action did not succeed. The ball of his foot had only stepped on the ground and he had not yet exerted himself, when a sharp pain came from his foot. He fell to the ground again with a weak foot. His small face was tightly pursed, and not caring about the pain, he directly crawled with his hands and moved to the pool next to him.

After his feet hit the water, the heat quickly disappeared, the sharp pain gradually dissipated, and his feet turned into a silver fishtail. He looked at his palms, and a layer of transparent webbing surfaced between his fingers, but the silver scales on the back of his hands were gone, looking very similar to a human hand.

"Click..." The sound of the door being opened came, and he couldn't think much about it as his body sank and his whole body went underwater.

He was instantly comfortable, with the feeling that he belonged to the water in the first place. He sank to the bottom of the water, face down, reached out and touched his face. The scales on his face were gone, except for the end of his eyes.

He immediately panicked. As long as people saw him, they would certainly find something was wrong. And this face of the little mermaid, with no scales to cover, his beauty was too conspicuous. He hastily grabbed his long silver hair towards his face and kept his face down to keep himself out of sight.

"Dang..." The staff put the food bucket down and threw the fish inside at Yu Ze, "Hurry up and eat. Eat and cry honestly, don't force my hand."

Yu Ze was affected by the original's memory and hearing this voice, his body reflexively shivered. In the hands of this person, the little mermaid really had too many unpleasant memories.

The injuries on his legs, many of them were from this person.

Yu Ze steadied his mind and grabbed a fish when it fell to him. He looked at the fish that still carried the scent of blood. Human instincts made him recoil, but his mermaid instincts made his throat move uncontrollably.

It smelled good, delicious.

Yu Ze bit his lip, listening to the staff's threats, thinking of the happy days with Ayr, comparing the two, he felt aggrieved. Deep inside there was an irrepressible fear.

The world was so unfriendly that he couldn't even find a good solution to end his predicament for a while.

"Eat up? Do you want to go on a hunger strike? I'm warning you, don't give me any trouble, or I'll get you killed." The staff member grabbed the long whip and heaved it on the surface of the water with a warning tone.

Yu Ze cowered a little, and sank to the bottom of the pool. He put the fish in his mouth; it was tender and delicious and the taste spread through his mouth. He did not feel comforted, the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became. While eating, tears flowed constantly. As the tears fell in the water, they gradually turned into pearls. He was not in the mood to wonder about it and thought that it was too difficult.

He finished eating the fish, unconsciously reached out and grabbed another one. After he finished eating another one, he kept eating until he reached five, and he burped before he stopped. He froze and could only console himself that to escape, he first had to get well and it was only right to eat more.

The bottom of the pool was purposely set inclined, the pearls fell to the bottom of the water, then slid down to the edge, where the salvage equipment would automatically pick up the pearls.

The staff counted the pearls and were very satisfied, "Thirty-two, you are good." He secretly hid one and warned, "At least thirty-five for the night." He said and left with the bucket.
