Logically speaking, they should be right to think so.
However, is the straight road really a straight road? Does the end of the straight road lead to the shore or to the deep sea?
After swimming three times, Tina already knew the answer.
The sea floor is getting shallower.
She has seen the sunshine coming from the sea...
Two mermaids were in the sea, looking helplessly at the sea above them with the sun shining on them.
They seemed to be getting further and further away from their original place. The sea where the sun could be seen must not be far from the shore.
Tina was afraid that Hai Mengmeng would be scared, so she comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Mengmeng. Mother will definitely be able to take you home. Let's take a rest at the bottom of the sea and wait for the sunrise tomorrow to see the direction of the sun."
But is this really reliable?
No matter what, it had to be this way. They had been swimming all day and were indeed tired.
Two mermaids were hiding silently on the bottom of the sea, squatting next to the rocks.
Fortunately, they don't need to worry about food. In the ocean, mermaids basically never go hungry.
Seaweed, seafood, and even food from the human world are all edible.
At this moment, Donghai and Beihai also knew the news that they were missing, and immediately spread the news and sent mermaids out to look for them.
The little fish and turtles in the TV series can talk, but that's not the case here.
Ordinary creatures, whose intelligence has not been developed, do not know how to communicate at all, and do not even understand what they are.
Just live instinctively.
Only those who have existed for a long time, or special ethnic groups, have IQ, wisdom, and know how to learn.
Mermaids are special beings in the ocean. Whether they are part-human or half-human, they have a human-like upper body, which means they have a complete brain.
Therefore, they are not much different from humans. They have intelligence, emotions, and inheritance.
Those unintelligent creatures cannot send messages to each other like in the TV series.
Mermaids can only rely on their own tribe to find them.
This is why Carlos was able to hide Tina for three years without being found.
There are only about 300,000 mermaids living in the world combined in the four seas.
This number is still overestimated.
And the sea area is so huge, so you can imagine how difficult it is to search every corner of the ocean.
…………
At night, Hai Mengmeng, who was sleeping curled up next to her mother, was suddenly awakened by a harsh sound.
She approached Tina fearfully and asked in a low voice, "Mom, what is that sound?"
Tina took a deep breath, looked up at the sky with an extremely solemn expression, and had a guess in her heart.
"It should be a human ship."
The sound of the turbine was very noisy and harsh, and the two mermaids with sensitive hearing felt very uncomfortable at the moment, as if they had tinnitus.
Fortunately, the ship left quickly and probably just passed by.
The seabed became calm again.
Tina's mood did not relax. It was over. We had really reached the shore. There would be many human ships passing by.
But she didn't dare to choose a random direction anymore.
At least you can hide here at the bottom of the sea. If you find the wrong way again and go to a shallower seaside...
Seeing her mother's worries, Hai Mengmeng leaned next to her obediently and asked in a low voice: "Mom, have we arrived in the human world? Can we go find dad?"
"We don't have any potions, and I don't know where Carlos is."
The little mermaid carefully took out a pink waterproof bag from her satchel.
There was a rectangular object wrapped in layers, which turned out to be a mobile phone.
"Dad gave this to me. He said that if there is an emergency, he would ask the mermaid uncle to go to the island and make a call."
Yunfei often brings them interesting things. Of course Tina knows about mobile phones and how to make calls, because she also has one, but she just didn't bring it.
She was still hesitant after hearing this, "But we don't have any medicine to go ashore. There may not be a signal on the sea at this location."
But without a call, they might never find their way home.
In the end, the mother and daughter discussed it for a while and decided to give it a try.
They moved a little closer to the shore, and waited until late at night before turning on their mobile phones in the sea and emerging from the water.
"Mom, dad said there is no signal like this, so we have to get closer."
On the dark sea, you can see the brightly lit city in the distance.
Tina gritted her teeth and led Hai Mengmeng a lot closer in that direction.
Finally, we stopped at a rocky place on the shore. This time, the phone finally showed that there was a signal.
It’s also a credit to Yunfei that when he bought a mobile phone, he directly charged 10,000 yuan into the phone bill. Even if no one uses it, the phone will not be shut down.
Tina asked Hai Mengmeng to make a call and she was responsible for the vigilance.
Although she doesn't have much fighting power, she can still confuse the enemy with her singing and then escape.
………
Yunfei, who was sleeping soundly late at night, suddenly heard the ringtone of his cell phone, and he guessed helplessly that it was probably his ancestor calling again.
He is the only one who always appears late at night, making people suspect that he is not a fish, but a cat.
He took the mobile phone from the bedside table and saw that the caller's note on the caller ID was "Baby", and his soul flew away.
"Hey, Mengmeng?"
"Wow~~Dad!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Yunfei's whole body tensed up, "Be good, Mengmeng, if you don't cry, where are you?"
Is it like the plot, coming within the range of humans?
"Mengmeng, Mengmeng doesn't know. Mengmeng is with her mother. There is a human house here, and there is a human house. Mengmeng doesn't know where it is."
Although her voice could not stop sobbing, Hai Mengmeng still tried her best to explain her current situation clearly.
She was extremely scared, afraid that humans would appear and hurt her and her mother.
In the eyes of mermaids, humans are described as more terrifying creatures than sharks.
They are smart, cunning and greedy.
Yunfei naturally thought of this question, and he asked calmly: "Can Mengmeng know how to take pictures? Dad taught me that you should take pictures of the house for Dad to see."
"good."
While Hai Mengmeng was tinkering with taking pictures, Yunfei also checked the location of his phone.
But obviously, it can't be found.
If it’s not that the signal is bad, it’s that the distance is exceeded.
Soon, Mengmeng took the photo and sent it over.
Fortunately, Yunfei taught her how to take photos, send them, and take night scene photos.
The coast in the picture looks like a small island.
Their location is quite hidden, probably on the rocks on the back, not on the beach in front.
It's just that the distance is too far and it's from the back. Yunfei can't see iconic buildings or billboards or anything like that.
Then he asked Mengmeng to zoom in on the camera and take a picture of a large and bright red billboard.
This time, I could see a lot more clearly.
The words of the small island nation...
Yunfei wanted to vomit blood. This distance was already across the country. No wonder he couldn't locate it.
