Everyone simultaneously prepared their guns and ammunition, focusing their attention on the scenery outside the car windows on both sides.

Fang Xiyue focused her mental energy on the river, so she didn't notice what was happening on the other side.

Xiu Jie and Qian Qian were both worried that a giant fish would appear.

The car slowly made its way onto the bridge, and then Wang Hui stepped on the gas, speeding up to its maximum and speeding off.

As a result, just as they reached the center of the bridge, a group of new recruits rushed onto the bridge from the other side.

Upon seeing someone, Wang Hui instinctively slammed on the brakes, causing the rear of the car to bounce slightly due to inertia.

The two soldiers lying behind almost fell off their seats, but their teammates caught them in time.

"Damn it! They're looking for trouble now." Everyone cursed in unison.

Seeing them, Fang Xiyue almost wanted to go down and punch them a dozen times each. This bridge is so dangerous, aren't they worried at all?

"Get out of the vehicle! Get out now! Hand over all your weapons and supplies, or you'll be killed!"

The way they spoke showed they didn't recognize them as the elite squad.

I guess it's because they haven't changed their cars. Their faces look different than last time.

Just as Fang Xiyue was about to say something, she suddenly sensed something was wrong with the river water with her mental energy; the water was surging.

"Brother Hui, hurry up and back up, something in the water is about to come out."

Fang Xiyue shouted loudly, and Wang Hui subconsciously stepped on the gas pedal, speeding up very fast.

The new recruits who were blocking the way were terrified by Wang Hui's actions and fled to both sides of the bridge.

"These guys are ruthless. They're trying to run us over. We'd better be quick, or we'll be dead!"

"Write down the license plate number; next time you see one, just kill it!"

The squad leader of the new recruits shouted loudly!

The front of the bus that Wang Hui was driving had already crossed the bridge.

The river surged even more violently, and then suddenly a huge creature leaped out of the water, completely blocking out the sun, as if it had turned dark.

"What's going on? A solar eclipse?"

The squad leader of the new recruits sensed darkness and asked, puzzled.

"Captain, run!"

One of his underlings tried to pull him away, but the captain, unaware of the situation, shook him off.

"Why are you running? It's like they can just crash into us again."

The squad leader was very dismissive; he didn't believe that anyone would deliberately drive a car to kill many people.

Seeing that his captain was like this, the henchman ignored him and started running away as fast as he could.

The other henchmen, realizing something was wrong, also started running.

The captain then realized something was wrong. He turned around and saw two large eyes staring at him.

His legs were trembling and had gone limp; he couldn't run at all.

Those underlings had run half the distance when, in an instant, the giant fish moved.

He opened his mouth wide and leaped from one side to the other, splashing water high into the air, which drenched the bus that had run off the bridge, while the bridge itself was clean and empty.

Everyone on the bus witnessed what happened next and was terrified.

Those new soldiers were undoubtedly eaten by the giant fish, because the originally murky river water began to turn red.

Fang Xiyue also saw the appearance of the giant fish clearly. It looked very similar to the giant fish they had seen before, but it was not that one.

The giant fish they had seen before had a white patch between its eyes, but this giant fish was entirely gray.

They looked so alike that Fang Xiyue suspected it was the mother of the giant baby fish.

When the giant fish baby was chasing them earlier, they heard a voice calling to it.

Although they couldn't understand the words, they could still hear the sounds.

"How did this big fish end up here again? Is it because it can't catch people at the bridge over there?"

Zhang Shuo muttered to himself, "If we hadn't run fast, we probably would have been dead too."

"There could be multiple bridges. I think you'd better retreat to the other side of the bridge."

Otherwise, if the number of mutated fish in the river increases, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Fang Xiyue wasn't exaggerating; fish reproduce quite quickly, and there might be many mutated baby fish breeding in the river right now.

"I will report it immediately after I get back."

Zhang Shuo's expression was serious. This matter was extremely important, concerning the lives of all the survivors.

They only stopped for a short while before Fang Xiyue told Wang Hui to hurry up and leave, as they now needed to figure out how to get back.

Fang Xiyue was thinking of building a wind wall; perhaps it would work!

Whether they succeed or not, they have to try. Otherwise, how will they get back? Are they going to drive to the Kapok District to complete the mission and then return?

Actually, it's not impossible.

The car continued driving forward, and following Zhang Shuo's directions, things went much more smoothly; he knew exactly where everything was.

Along the way, Fang Xiyue also obtained [unlimited refreshes of 2-yuan stores, 10-yuan stores, and funeral supply stores].

Because the new recruits were dealt with by the giant fish, they didn't encounter any other problems on the road except for zombies.

At 5 p.m., they arrived at the supplies storage point in Wutong District.

Zhang Shuo went to report on the giant fish, while Fang Xiyue went with others to collect supplies, and as usual, they collected everything.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, this side of the bridge will likely remain closed for a long time, unless the giant fish in the river is eliminated or the river is filled in.

Fang Xiyue collected supplies very quickly. There were only two large warehouses in total. Because she had been focused on rescuing survivors, she hadn't collected too many supplies.

After Zhang Shuo returned, he transferred 200,000 crystal coins to Fang Xiyue, which was given to him by their company commander.

The company bears half the cost, and the individual bears the other half.

"It's almost 6 p.m. now. Even if we set off now and get back smoothly, we won't get home until very late."

If the giant fish on that bridge were still there, there might still be a battle.

I was thinking we should just go straight from here to the Kapok area, collect the supplies, and then head back.

Fang Xiyue suggested changing her route, not because she was afraid to fight the giant fish, but because the fight would inevitably waste a lot of time.

She wasn't so arrogant as to think she could kill the fish with a single cut.

“I agree with Xiyue’s idea. If we change our route, we can not only get around to the giant fish, but also complete tomorrow’s tasks at the same time, saving time.”

Jun Nanxuan was the first to agree. He wasn't just blindly agreeing; he had considered changing the route before, but hadn't brought it up yet.

"Okay, the captain's decision is final!" Everyone agreed with Fang Xiyue's decision.

Fang Xiyue called her mother.

"Mom, we're not going back tonight. Don't worry, it's safe."

"After you go back tonight, please go to the 7th floor and tell Company Commander Lu for me."

Company Commander Lu and his men need to be aware of this, otherwise many of them might not be able to sleep tonight.

"Okay, honey, please be careful!"

It's impossible not to worry, but Fang's mother tried her best to hide it.

"Don't worry, Mom. My brother, Nanxuan, and I are all level two ability users. We can protect ourselves."

Fang Xiyue reassured her mother with a slightly coquettish tone.

After ending the call, Fang Xiyue set up the table, and everyone began to eat dinner.

At 6:30, 30 people boarded a large bus and set off for Kapok District.
