Huang Zhao and Alice strolled leisurely along the riverbank.

However, they did not let their guard down, and their mental perception area constantly covered a range of nearly 700 meters.

After all, he hadn't forgotten that this was the apocalypse.

Huang Zhao's mental perception covered most of the river, and the large number of aquatic mutated beasts within made his body tense, and he dared not relax.

Numerous mutated beasts of various levels were fiercely fighting in the river, illustrating the fundamental law of the jungle among animals: the strong prey on the weak.

And the most numerous mutated beast is actually... a bullfrog?

Huang Zhao barely recognized this creature, which was often served on human dinner tables before the apocalypse.

After all, these bullfrogs nowadays look almost nothing like the delicacies on the dining table.

The once soft and limp skin has now transformed into a thick, steel-like shell, easily withstanding the bites of other mutated fish of the same class.

The sharp teeth easily pierced through the mutated fish's body, tearing out large chunks of flesh.

The frog swarm was the largest in Huang Zhao's mental perception area.

The number of mutated bullfrogs at each level has reached tens of thousands.

However, no level four mutated creatures have been discovered yet, otherwise Huang Zhao would definitely have pulled Alice and run away.

......

Alice enjoyed the time she spent alone with Huang Zhao.

Although their relationship was established quickly, their feelings for each other ran very deep.

Alice wanted to enjoy a little more of her walk with Huang Zhao.

But seeing Huang Zhao's frequent glances at Da Jiang, he immediately realized what was going on.

They were on the banks of a large river, where the number of mutated beasts was no less than in the city center. It would be troublesome if they rushed up there.

"Let's go back, it's time to eat."

Alice felt she had been a bit willful and spoke up.

Huang Zhao gently patted Alice's head, feeling a pang of guilt towards her.

He decided to take Alice out to play more often when he had time, but he didn't say much at the moment.

After leading Alice back to where they had stopped, Huang Zhao addressed the group:

"Let's finish this quickly, the river is anything but calm."

Huang Zhao described to everyone the scene he had detected through his spiritual perception.

"Bullfrog? Has the frog turned the tide in the apocalypse?"

Ning Chuxia was somewhat surprised, unable to imagine what a five-meter-tall, level-three mutated bullfrog would look like.

......

Creatures that reproduce quickly before the apocalypse always have some advantages after the apocalypse.

Moreover, frogs undergo metamorphosis, and after being nourished by the energy in the air after the apocalypse, the mutations that occur are not simply cumulative, but exponential.

It is incomparable to the life level leap of other races.

Huang Zhao felt a sense of unease and said to everyone:

"Let's finish eating quickly to replenish our energy, then we'll leave here and continue our journey."

"Was this bullfrog dish made by the head chef of Lao Zhengxing?"

I went there once before when I was in Shanghai, and the food was absolutely amazing.

Huang Zhao looked at the flavorful bullfrog on the table, which looked and smelled delicious, and his heart skipped a beat.

I didn't even notice what I was taking out when I took out the food.

After all, no one has any dietary restrictions, and they don't worry about getting sick after becoming superhumans.

The food is only for replenishing energy, and the taste is naturally excellent since it's all prepared by star chefs.

Huang Zhao sensed that the atmosphere in the Yangtze River seemed somewhat stagnant.

In my mental perception, the mutated bullfrogs that were fighting other aquatic mutant beasts underwater have all stopped moving.

As if receiving some kind of command, they all moved towards the shore.

"We need to get out of here immediately! The mutated bullfrogs in the water are coming this way!"

With Huang Zhao's spiritual perception, there was no worry about the risk of being ambushed.

He was now feeling both amused and exasperated, realizing that there were indeed level four or higher mutated beasts in the water.

Perhaps seeing that Huang Zhao and Jin Gang were not to be trifled with, and not wanting to cause any trouble, they had no intention of attacking them.

Instead, the dish that was taken out angered the mutated frog king who was observing the area.

This changed its mind, and it wanted to command the frog swarm to attack Huang Zhao and the others.

But Huang Zhao wasn't too worried; they might not be a match for them underwater.

But once they're on land, it's hard to say who will emerge victorious.

Huang Zhao even had time to retract the opened camp into his supernatural space.

Together with the others, they climbed onto King Kong's shoulders and looked towards the river embankment.

By this time, the frogs had gradually come ashore, hopping and leaping towards Huang Zhao and his group's location.

Seeing this, Huang Zhao exclaimed helplessly:

"Frog King! I don't know if you can understand, but we just happened to be passing by and had no intention of being your enemy."

Let's leave now and go our separate ways, okay?

As soon as Huang Zhao finished speaking, the frogs did not stop at all and continued to hop and leap closer.

Looking at the relentless swarm of frogs, Huang Zhao continued helplessly:

"Not planning to reconcile? These little frogs can't do anything to us."

Although the frog swarm is large, the vast majority of them are only level one mutated beasts less than one meter tall.

There are fewer than ten of them, which are level three mutated bullfrogs.

No fourth-level mutation for manipulating the frog swarm was found in Huang Zhao's mental perception area.

If the swarm of frogs were attacking those poorly defended areas along the road, it would indeed be a formidable and imposing sight.

However, for Huang Zhao and his group, who were individually powerful and could leave at any time, they posed little threat.

A mental shockwave gathered in his mind and shot directly into the mind of the nearest level-three mutated bullfrog.

"Croak!"

A sharp, painful cry rang out, which quickly ceased.

The level-three mutated bullfrog that was hit by the mental shock has died.

Seeing this, the other mutated bullfrogs immediately increased their speed.

"King Kong, show them what we're made of. Don't think we're easy to bully."

On the way here, the nearest human settlement was only about ten kilometers away.

If the mutated bullfrogs invade ashore, they can reach the gathering place very quickly if they head towards it.

Given the strength of any weak settlement, they would most likely become food for the mutated bullfrogs.

Huang Zhao decided to try to force out the mutated bullfrog king.

Like a pack of wolves, send them to attack the nearby town and wage a war of attrition against the zombies.

In this way, no matter which side suffers losses, it will be a good thing for humanity.

Unfortunately, bullfrogs are not creatures with strong racial cohesion.

Although the Frog King is in control, the control is not very strong.

Even the corpse of the level-three mutated bullfrog that Huang Zhao killed was now being eaten by some mutated bullfrogs.

Huang Zhao did not stop, his mental attacks targeting the level-three mutated bullfrogs at a frequency of once every 10 seconds.

Before the swarm of frogs approached, Huang Zhao had already killed all the level-three mutated bullfrogs that had come ashore using a mental attack.
