When the houses were washed away and a lot of people died on the day of the first rainstorm, everyone in the town assumed that those people had died in the sea.
But after a few months, more and more townspeople began to witness their old acquaintances appearing on the coast.
It’s different from the time when he was talking nonsense and was out of his mind.
This time, the people the townspeople saw were actually able to engage in some level of conversation.
The sea people who spoke did not seem to be very clear about what had happened to them during this period and did not have much memory of it.
It only said that when they woke up they were already in the sea, and somehow they were able to breathe underwater and survive normally.
As for when they went to the sea and what they encountered before going there, they had no memory at all.
It was as if the memory stopped at a certain day before going crazy.
At first, the townspeople were terrified by this. After all, a familiar person had disappeared for a long time and returned, still living under the sea.
It sounded like some monsters disguised as them were trying to trick them.
But because these people are so similar to their past selves, apart from some slight changes in appearance, they still feel like the same people.
Gradually, some people began to contact those people.
Chapter 296 Fishman Disease
"I never thought that I would see you again one day... Taylor."
Doctor Eureka stepped into a low house on the coast. There was no waterproofing at all, and the ground even had half a leg-high water flow accumulated on it, which made him frown.
But it wasn't a big problem, so Dr. Eureka didn't think much about it and walked in directly.
"Um, sorry, Dr. Eureka, I didn't expect you to come... Ah, you don't need to walk in. You're not like me. Your shoes will get wet."
In the direction of the bedroom, a man whose skin looked inexplicably smooth and whose whole body looked a little wet seemed quite surprised and at a loss when he saw Dr. Eureka.
It can be seen that this guy named Taylor has great respect for Eureka.
Eureka also thought that the other party would be able to answer her questions, which is why she decided to come here.
"What's the difference? You live here."
"But, but now I am......"
Taylor rubbed his palms uneasily, and the sharp-eyed Eureka noticed that there was something membranous between the other's fingers, similar to the webbed feet of a frog.
The other party also noticed Eureka's gaze and became even more at a loss.
"Nothing but, I'm just a crappy doctor, don't be so polite to me."
"What are you talking about? If you hadn't saved me, I would have died the day I came to town. To me, Dr. Eureka is the most respected person in the world."
Although he was a little embarrassed to see Dr. Eureka in his current state, Taylor excitedly retorted after hearing what was said.
"That's too much. I'm a doctor and you're a patient. It's as simple as that."
"That may be true for you, but I don't think other doctors are as kind-hearted as you."
"Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about this. You should know why I came here today."
Eureka looked at Taylor. The main reason she came here was that many townspeople came here and no accidents had happened so far.
As a doctor, Eureka really wanted to know what had happened.
Therefore, although the safety factor was not particularly high, she still took the risk and came here.
"I know more or less. After all, I still feel like I'm dreaming."
Taylor stared at his own smooth skin, stretched out his left hand, and gently touched it with his right hand, feeling as if he were in another world.
Eureka could more or less understand such behavior.
Because before Taylor went crazy and followed the others into the ocean, he had already developed a serious skin disease.
Although Eureka, as a doctor, has been trying to treat the patient, due to the seriousness of the condition and the extremely scarce medicines in the town, what he has done is not much different from the placebo effect.
Even so, there were only a few doctors who could take care of a patient like him in that state, so Taylor had great respect for doctors.
"Mind if I touch you?"
Glancing at Taylor's arm, Eureka suddenly asked.
"Of course I don't mind!"
When Taylor heard Eureka's request, he didn't say he was unwilling. Instead, he felt flattered and handed over his hand tremblingly.
"Sure enough, your skin disease has completely healed. Not only that, your skin..."
Although it can be seen that Taylor definitely does not have the skin disease he had in the past.
But after touching it with his own hands, he felt more.
Judging from the feel of the touch alone, Taylor's skin at this moment is actually a bit like solid cowhide, with a strange toughness.
But more critical is the surface of the skin.
Although it feels solid, the surface is quite smooth, which reminds Eureka of something like an octopus.
More importantly, he is a doctor who had personally treated Taylor for a long time.
Judging from the various residual textures on the surface, this person in front of him, who seems to have been reborn and has a brand new body, is indeed Taylor.
At least all the texture details on the surface are correct.
"I probably understand what the doctor wants to ask, but I really don't remember what happened before... When I woke up, it was like I had a very good sleep. It took me a lot of effort to find out where I was at the time."
"Well, I don't have too high expectations. After all, people who are in the same situation as you also said they don't know."
"I'm sorry I couldn't help you much, doctor."
Even though she was somewhat expecting Taylor to give her an answer, so many people she had met in town said they didn't know, so this part obviously couldn't be easily understood.
"Then can you give me some of your body tissue? I want to take it back for research."
"No problem at all!"
There was no way to get a direct answer, so Eureka wanted to do his own research and indirectly find out why Taylor had transformed from an ordinary human into what he is now.
"But is all this water in your house necessary?"
Walking through the swamp-like room, Eureka couldn't help but ask.
Although he knew it was a stupid question, as an ordinary person she really couldn't adapt to this kind of environment.
"Maybe it's not necessary, as long as the skin is kept moisturized, but this is the easiest way to keep the skin moisturized."
"It keeps the skin moisturized... I understand that."
It is impossible to tell what the changes that have taken place in these people are, but it is a reality today that these people have begun to become more like aquatic creatures.
Oh no, considering that they can also survive on land, they can probably be considered amphibians.
All in all, as creatures of this type, water becomes more important to them than ever before.
So according to Taylor, as long as you keep your skin moisturized, you will not be affected by skin diseases and your body will be healthy. This is a change that cannot be calculated anymore.
"Just bear with me for a bit. I only need a little blood, some mucus from your skin, and a little hair."
After scraping some body tissue from Taylor, Eureka's first step was completed.
Next, the real focus for her is whether she can figure out something from these things.
"Eh... well, is it because I'm too nervous?"
After extracting Taylor's body tissue, Eureka inexplicably felt like she was being watched.
He turned his head suddenly and looked somewhere outside the door, but after looking left and right, he couldn't see anything wrong.
So he shook his head and ignored the slight anomaly.
Chapter 297: The Town is Destroyed
Fear of the unknown is something no one can avoid.
But if this unknown is something that was once familiar, and these unknown existences do not pose any threat.
Because of past impressions, many people will equate these theoretically unknown things with what was known in the past.
That's pretty much how things are in this town.
Even though the townspeople showed fear of the fish-man and the amphibious creature at first, as time passed.
As the people in the town got used to the existence of those strange-looking creatures on the coast, the unknown gradually became known.
In addition, since those people were residents of the town before their transformation, the boundary between the two gradually began to blur.
Even though the residences of both sides are some distance apart, and even though those living on the beach cannot leave the water for long.
Originally from the same side, they began to gradually interact, merge, and assimilate over time.
After a long time, the newborn children in the town have fully adapted to the changes in the town.
To the newborn, whether in town or on the coast, they are all local residents.
The reason they have such an understanding is mainly because the residents of the town occasionally have sudden changes. These individuals will suddenly leave one day and go to the sea, until one day, they become the same as the people in that gathering place.
Therefore, for the children, becoming like those people on the shore seems to be a part of growing up and a very normal thing.
And one day when everyone had gotten used to it, the ordinary town changed.
At first there were some scattered businessmen, then some passing travelers, and finally a motley crowd of people running around.
"Hey, don't you know? The queen on the other side has taken the throne, and her husband was originally our prince consort, so our two places have merged into a united kingdom."
"The front border has also been removed, and the two places have started trading with no restrictions on entry and exit."
"We are going to the other side to do some business. There is a long way to go before us with no supply sites."
"I didn't expect there was a town in a place like this. It's really great."
People passing by the town told the residents the answer, and this answer made many elderly people in the town a little dazed.
Because they still remember that the reason they abandoned their original town and moved here was because of the turmoil on the border at that time.
Unexpectedly, after only a few years, the originally hostile countries actually merged into one country.
But they were also very confused. After all, they had been hostile for so many years. Even if they were merged now, wouldn’t those who traveled between the two places worry about their own safety?
"Huh? No one would worry about that these days... So many people died in the famine a few years ago. Everyone lived so miserably. Those things are no longer a big deal."
"Did you guys have such a good time during that time? Tsk, tsk, I couldn't believe I survived that year. There were so many people going back and forth between the two places."
"Hehe, it's just that those people didn't realize that it was the same everywhere at that time. They always thought there was food on the other side."
"But at that time, because we were sneaking there, we didn't take this road."
"Alas, if we had fled to the seaside and fished like you did, perhaps not so many people would have died."
In response to the doubts of the town residents, most passers-by believed that the residents at that time relied on fishing to obtain food for survival.
After all, although getting food from the sea depends a lot on luck, it is not like the inland during that period, where there was almost no way to get supplies to survive from the land.
The residents of the town were both relieved and scared about this.
By listening to the stories of these past travelers, they can already understand what the situation was like at that time.
If they had abandoned the town and fled because they were afraid of the murlocs, most of the residents would not have survived.
Then, the townspeople began to sell their catches, dried seafood, and some miscellaneous handicrafts.
The assets of the townspeople began to gradually increase because of these travelers.
However, as the number of travelers increased, this town gradually became a town that would be mentioned when passing through the two places, and some trivial matters also followed.
After all, those guys who live on the coast would occasionally come to the town, talk to their old friends and relatives, and then go back.
After a while, the travelers gradually noticed the guys coming from the shore.
After all, although these guys look like normal people, their wet bodies full of sea smell look weird no matter how you look at them.
And when some children in the town were tricked by outsiders into saying things that seemed natural to them.
These people took the fairy tales told by children to heart.
