"Immortal, please look, this is a dolphin!"

At my request, Xu Fu stood at the side of the boat, introducing to me one by one the marine life encountered during the voyage.

At this moment, he was talking about a group of fish in the blue sea that leaped high and made pleasant sounds. They were chasing the boat, full of joy and very cute.

"Immortal, this is the ribbon-like gentleman, also known as a crab."

Xu Fu's boy held up a palm-sized crab and showed it to me, then put it back on the table.

The little crab, freed, spread its legs to run, but was caught by the boy again and thrown back into the sea.

I swallowed my surprise and blood in my mouth, feeling like my eyes were not enough to see.

I not only saw dolphins, whales, sharks, and other animals I had never seen before.

I also saw that crabs were not three feet tall and did not eat people; the sea shrimps were not even as big as palm-sized and jumped around a lot; although the sea fish looked strange, they were all cute and not at all fierce.

And, all the creatures only had one head, and their heads only had one face.

I looked down at the big catfish in the fish tank, its four eyes rolling around, although it looked particularly ugly after comparing.

But it was already a rare gentle marine creature in this world.

I whispered, "It's okay, the big catfish is also beautiful."

It seemed to understand, wagging its tail and eating the meat of the three-headed beast.

"Immortal, in another twenty days, we will arrive at the island country!"

Xu Fu wiped his hands with a white silk handkerchief and stood in front of the sand table.

The general next to him bowed to me, then talked about their weapon equipment and battle plans.

They estimated that in just thirty days, they could capture the entire island without a blade of grass left.

I thought for a moment and said, "Try not to harm any animals other than human beings."

The general nodded.

Xu Fu even praised me for my kindness.

His words of kindness made me inexplicably think that it was the islanders millennia later who would release nuclear wastewater.

In fact, those people from more than two thousand years ago were essentially innocent.

...At this moment, Li Nuo suddenly started coughing violently, and the others followed suit.

I quickly turned off the live broadcast and checked on them one by one.

They had inhaled too much radiation.

Underground shelters always had various collapses and cracks that I couldn't detect in time.

Although I kept moving them to different rooms and had them all wear protective suits, it was useless.

Even though our bodies had slightly mutated to resist some radiation.

After a few days, they couldn't take it anymore.

The fleeting tenderness disappeared - because we were the most innocent ones; the marine creatures were the most innocent.

Li Nuo coughed out a mouthful of blood, instantly splattering his entire helmet red.

I was startled, about to move him to a safe place and help clean him up, but I heard Li Nuo speak, "A Le!"

I was overjoyed, "Are you awake?"

"A Le!"

"It's me!"

I grabbed his hand, the blood obscuring his face shield, unable to see his face and unsure if he was awake or delirious.

"A Le, do you...know how to do that magic trick?"

Tears streamed down my face instantly as I hugged him:

"I know, pinch the two cards tightly, then quickly twist back and forth at a speed invisible to the naked eye, switching them front and back. Right? Right?"

Li Nuo didn't speak again.

I seemed to understand, hesitating to touch him, until his hand gradually became cold and rigid.

"Li Nuo..."

I choked up, gently took off his helmet, and saw his open eyes, as gray and lifeless as the outside world, devoid of vitality.
