    The Merman, My Man by ck Velvet Chapter 148


    I was nowpletely alone. I had to rely on myself to survive and look for Peter and the others. I knew


    that I didn’t have as much survival skills or experiencepared to Jack, but at least I had some

    experience camping in the wild. Furthermore, I was knowledgeable on matters pertaining to biology. As


    long as I was careful enough not to bump into Dicken, I believed I could safely get back to the boat.


    Therefore, I took out the looking ss and looked toward the sea with it. After scanning the sea for a


    while, I saw a few bright lightsing closer from the west of the inds. I figured that these could be


    ships, and the bright lights in the sky could be helicopters.


    I was excited at first, but not long after, I was ovee with worry because I had no way of knowing


    whether they were Laura’s men or reinforcements that Jack had called for. It was also possible that


    they were neither. Nheless, these boats were my biggest hope of leaving these inds.


    I estimated when these ships would arrive and concluded that it wouldn’t be for another day.


    ‘I have to find a chance to contact Peter and the rest as soon as I can. After the gunfight with Gary, if


    they had…No! They must still be alive! They must still be on this ind. But where are they?’


    I then scanned around the ind with the looking ss, and I saw the faint illumination of fire in the


    forest in the northeast. Although the light of the fire wasn’t very obvious, it was still a sign of human


    activity. That ce was also not too far from where I was. It would’ve taken me about an hour to reach


    there on foot.


    ‘However, before I can determine their identity, I must act with caution. It’s best to only reveal myself


    after I make sure they aren’t Laura and her men.’


    After confirming the directions with apass, I climbed down from the tree and headed off in that


    direction. After traversing for about fifteen minutes, I realized I was near the relic of the merpeople


    civilization from before. My body tensed up, and I had the urge to run away from that ce


    immediately. But I forced myself to remain calm and not act too hastily.


    That ce was quiet, and there were no signs of life right then. This meant that Dicken was not around,


    but it was still a ce of familiarity for him and the monitor lizards. The probability of him being here


    was toorge for me to risk walking through this ce.


    I anxiously looked toward the artificial pool he was in as I crouched and moved toward a different


    direction. I then circled the area where the monitor lizards had appeared. Although this would mean a


    longer route, it was still a safer option.


    But when I walked past the pool from a distance away, a familiar hormonal fragrance entered my


    nostrils. I instinctively covered my nose.


    I couldn’t believe that Dicken’s scent would remain here for so long. I wanted to break into a run, but


    my legs lost their strength, and my body felt unusually heavy. My body felt like it was nted into the


    ground. Suddenly, I passed out.


    I did not know how much time had passed, but an abnormal sensation in my body awoke me. I felt like


    my body was alternating between being submerged in boiling water and covered in ice and snow. The


    relentless icy and fiery sensation caused my body to sweat and shiver simultaneously. The sensations


    gradually became worse over time.


    It took a lot of effort just to open my eyes, and I couldn’t stand up. My body couldn’t muster even a


    sliver of strength, so I was stuck lying on the ground. ‘What is going on with me?’
