Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

Chapter 242: The Melodious Song on the Island

Now in the shadows while the singer was in the light, Alex had the advantage over the person singing! However, if he exposed himself, with the native advantage on their side, Alex would find himself in a passive position at every turn!

The singing continued, becoming clearer and more enchanting, as if performing a private serenade in Alex's ears. This kind of sound seemed to carry a spiritual influence. If Alex's mental attributes hadn't reached the transcendent level, he might have already been affected by the song, lost in it, unable to break free.

"This is an enchanting melody!" Alex quickly realized, dispelling distractions and removing the mental influence from the song. This enchanting melody could manipulate one's mind, causing them to lose themselves in the music and gradually become puppets manipulated by the musician.

Just then, at the junction of the harbor and a small river flowing out from the dense forest, a sudden splashing sound echoed.

"Splash!~~"

"Splash!~~"

As the sun set and the moon rose, under the moonlight, Alex looked in surprise at the water surface where the sound came from. His body sank, submerging everything but his head into the seawater. Taking advantage of the night and the ripples on the sea's surface, Alex easily concealed himself.

At the junction of the harbor and the water flow, several mermaids, half human and half fish, frolicked in the water, creating sparkling water curtains.

In the moonlight, shimmering with a gentle glow, their colorful fish scales reflected the moon's brilliance, creating a magnificent and enchanting scene, reminiscent of an underwater fairyland from legends!

These mermaids frolicked and spun in the sea, sometimes playing together in twos and threes, living carefree and unrestrained.

"These are mermaids!!" Alex exclaimed, his breathing quickened, and his whole body trembled slightly with surprise.

After calming down, Alex carefully counted them. There were approximately five to seven joyful mermaids frolicking on the sea surface, and on a reef, another mermaid was lying like a princess, singing a melancholic song.

The mermaid lying on the reef had a melancholic expression, and her song was both beautiful and mournful. From a distance, she gazed out at the sea, as if reminiscing about something.

These mermaids were remarkably similar to the ones described in mythical stories. Their upper bodies were in the form of women, while their lower bodies resembled fish, adorned with colorful fish scales and transparent fish tails.

Their figures were graceful and enchanting, with long, flowing hair that, despite being dampened by seawater, remained smooth and floated around them like natural clothing, slightly covering their exposed snowy-white bosoms.

Alex's physique was exceptionally robust now, and his vision was excellent even in the night. He could clearly see the appearance of the mermaid lying on the reef.

His first impression was—beauty! It was the kind of beauty that took one's breath away, an extraordinary and unique beauty.

However, the mermaid's features did not bear distinctive characteristics of European or Asian women. Instead, she seemed like a mix of Asian and European ancestry, or perhaps a completely different race. Neither Asia nor Europe, nor Africa, had such a race.

With a straight nose, deep blue watery eyes, a seductive red fin, paired with an exquisite oval face and snow-white, delicate skin, and a head of long, curly blue hair—she was not only extraordinarily beautiful but also possessed a unique and exceptional aura.

This demeanor was unlike any woman Alex had ever encountered; it was a temperament belonging to the sea itself. Just like the enchantment of a pure blue ocean.

Currently, the distance between Alex and these mermaids was actually very close. If it weren't for Alex carefully disguising himself, coupled with his powerful mental protection, and the fact that it was nighttime, at such a close range, considering the mermaids' sensitive alertness, they might have noticed him long ago.

Holding his breath, Alex focused and slowly submerged into the sea, quietly swimming towards the area where the mermaid girls were playing.

Alex's current endurance had reached the level of transcending the mortal realm. He could easily persist underwater for more than half an hour. If he endured a bit more, an hour would probably not be a problem.

After diving underwater, Alex swiftly swam towards the area where the mermaids were frolicking. Because it was nighttime, the moonlight could only penetrate the shallow layers of seawater. The water layer Alex dived into was already pitch black.

Only when looking up could he see the pristine moon and, beneath the moonlight, the beautiful and lively mermaids swinging their colorful fish tails joyfully on the sea surface, frolicking.

Looking up from below, Alex was captivated. Beautiful! It was truly too beautiful! Were these mermaids?

Thoughts began to wander in Alex's mind. Although mermaids were beautiful, they were ultimately not the same species as humans.

Some physiological structures were significantly different.

Since childhood, Alex had heard various mermaid fairy tales, harboring a strong yearning for the beautiful mermaid princess. Of course, Alex was curious about the peculiar anatomy of mermaids and how one could have a romantic relationship with them.

There was a humorous anecdote circulating online that told of a man stranded on a deserted island, having to choose between two mermaids. One option was a fish-headed upper body with a human lower body, and the other was a human upper body with a fish lower body. Alex had once pondered over this question but eventually stopped thinking about it. After all, it was just a fantasy.

Before, he had never had the chance to encounter real mermaids. Growing up, he learned that mermaids were just mythical creatures and not real. So, there was still a slight disappointment in his heart.

Now, seeing real mermaids frolicking in front of him, Alex suddenly felt a profound excitement and thrill from the depths of his heart. These were genuine mermaids! Beautiful and enchanting mermaids! Moreover, it wasn't just one; it was a whole group!

Each mermaid was not only stunningly beautiful, but each also had unique features. Some had blue hair, some had golden hair, some had white hair, and some had black hair. Although their figures were slender and graceful, each had distinctive characteristics.

"Are these mermaids?! Since I've encountered them today, I must capture them!" Alex's lips curled into a slight smile, and with a hint of amusement, he began to contemplate how to turn these carefree, lively, and adorable mermaids into his own slaves.
