Lying on the grass and looking at the sky in front of him through the glass cover, Fang Zheng yawned and breathed a leisurely sigh of relief.

It was not a troublesome thing for Fang Zheng to blend in with this group of brats. After all, they were just innocent children. Fang Zheng was very knowledgeable about taking care of children, and he had already established a friendly relationship with them in no time.

It has to be said that the living environment of these children is really good. According to what is said on the Internet, this is to adjust the physical and mental environment of the couriers to the maximum extent. From a certain point of view, it is possible to live in such a doomsday-like environment.

Maintaining a comfortable natural environment in our world is a very luxurious thing in itself. And for those children, I am afraid they cannot understand how lucky they are...

But this is natural. After all, they are driving mechas to fight monsters and risk their lives. Considering this, it is not incomprehensible to give them extraordinary treatment... After all, there is no free man in the world.

Lunch... huh?

At this moment, Fang Zheng suddenly noticed that the fishing rod in his hand moved, so he also sat up and grabbed the fishing rod.

Taken the bait?

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng tightened his grip on the fishing rod and pulled it upwards.

"Crash!!!"

Then, water splashed everywhere.

As the fishing rod was pulled up, a fish flew out of the water. However, right behind the fish, there was a girl. She opened her mouth, biting the hooked fish, and stood naked in the water.

Just stared at Fang Zheng in front of him.

"This really shocked me."

Looking at the beautiful girl with long pink hair in front of him, Fang Zheng whistled.

"I didn't expect to catch a mermaid here."

Facing Fang Zheng, the girl didn't seem to be shy at all. She spat out the fish in her mouth, came over and sniffed Fang Zheng like a puppy.

"weird smell."

The pink-haired girl whispered, then stuck out her tongue and licked her arm.

"That's strange. Isn't it said that the sea water is very salty?"

"This is not the sea."

Fang Zheng shrugged helplessly and answered, while the latter glanced at him.

"Of course I know this, but this is the most sea-like place I know."

"This is a freshwater lake, which is completely different from the sea."

Fang Zheng didn't pay any attention to the pink-haired girl's lack of common sense, because during the time he had been in contact with these children, he had discovered that these people basically had no common sense from the outside world.

"Fresh water? Sea water?"

"Freshwater is drinkable by humans, but seawater is not."

"It's obviously all water?"

"That's right. Although they are both water, they are completely different. If you drink too much sea water, you may even die."

"Really? This is really interesting."

Hearing this, the pink-haired girl finally showed a look of interest.

"By the way, what is the mermaid you are talking about?"

"It can be regarded as a species imagined in fairy tales. It lives in the ocean and has a human upper body and a fish lower body."

“The lower body is a fish??”

Hearing this, the pink-haired girl picked up the fish that Fang Zheng had just caught and placed it underneath.

"so?"

"The section near the fish's tail."

Fang Zheng didn't care about the other party posing naked in front of him. Anyway, it was definitely not a loss for him to look at the beauty.

"really weird."

After understanding what Fang Zheng said, the pink-haired girl looked at the fish curiously, as if imagining what a human body looked like on it, and then threw it away with a wave of her hand.

"As strange as I am, can you see mermaids when you go to the sea?"

"That's just a fairy tale after all. I don't think you can see a mermaid even if you go to the beach."

Fang Zheng glanced at the terminal.

"It's almost time. I should go back. Goodbye, this lovely lady with horns on her head."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng put away the fishing rod, waved his hand to the pink-haired girl, then turned around and left.

Looking at Fang Zheng's back, the pink-haired girl muttered in a low voice.

"Weird guy."

After saying this, she turned around and dived into the lake again.

For Fang Zheng, the encounter with the pink-haired girl was just a small disturbance and nothing worthy of his attention. The next day, he participated in the launching ceremony with other children.

By the way, is that "adult"?

Standing on the carpet, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes as he looked at the people sitting on the surrounding seats, wearing masks and covered in white robes. He could feel that the soul consciousness of these people was extremely weak.

If the light of the souls of the children standing next to you is as bright as an LED, then the light of the souls of the adults is at most as bright as a 1-watt basement light bulb.

Dim, blurry, dim yellow light that seems to be absent.

It's like a lifeless puppet.

Speaking of which, I do remember that the humans who recorded this section on the Internet have completed the technology of immortality and gained the ability to become immortal. But the price is that they have lost the ability to reproduce and reproduce, and have become a walking zombie without any desire.

…Does this count as living? Or, are they still human beings?

"X, what are you thinking about?"

Berry's voice rang in Fang Zheng's ears. Fang Zheng turned his head and saw the girl with dark blue shoulder-length hair looking at him curiously.

"Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, it's not so much that I feel uncomfortable, it's more that the sight of those people makes me uncomfortable..."

"Sight?"

"No, it's nothing, I just said it casually."

Fang Zheng shook his head and then changed the topic.

"By the way, are you still talking about that person?"

"yes……………"

Hearing Fangzheng's inquiry, Berry lowered his head in disappointment. Now the group of children had finished their appearance and were on their way to the hangar. However, what they were talking about at the moment were three people who left here because they failed the test.

Naomi, Hiro and Mitsuru.

Mitsuru was the courier code-named 326 who was replaced by Fang Zheng. Because the synchronization values ​​between him and the girl with glasses, Yuno, had not been able to match well, Fang Zheng took advantage of the situation and replaced him. As for Hiro - according to intelligence, he used to do it when he was a child.

He showed extraordinary adaptability and was therefore called a prodigy. Unfortunately, although he had high hopes, he was unable to connect with other people to control Franks, and he could not achieve it with his partner, so he was dismissed.

Removed.

And today is the day they leave here.

Although these children were very excited to make a successful appearance and participate in the launching ceremony, those three people also grew up with them. If they can all be here, then all members of Team 13 will be able to gather.

"Ah, sorry, we are not blaming you..."

Having said this, Berry seemed to realize that this was a bit like squeezing out Fang Zheng, and hurriedly apologized to him, while the latter chuckled and waved his hand.

"It's okay. I'm from outside anyway. It's not easy to adapt to a new environment. Just take your time."

But having said that, berries are very similar to spring vegetables.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows curiously. Whether it was her hairstyle, appearance or the responsible part of her personality, she was very similar to Haruna Sairenji.

If you put it this way, the girl named Mirai is actually a bit similar to Nana.

At this moment, the train slowly stopped, and then the cabin door opened.

The launching ceremony began.

"The launching ceremony is about to begin now."

The white hatch slowly opened, and everyone was ready to activate the Franks mecha.

"From today on, you will become official couriers."

However, just when the hatch was about to be fully opened, it suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

Faced with this unexpected turn of events, the children were a little surprised. After all, this was a serious and important launching ceremony. How could something go wrong at this time?

At the same time, the thick fog began to spread. At this moment, Fang Zheng keenly captured something moving quickly in the thick fog.
To be continued...
