Chu Wenwen's breathing became rapid instantly; she felt as if her heart was about to leap out of her throat.

She tried to scream, but found that her throat was blocked by something and she couldn't make a sound.

Chu Wenwen subconsciously took a few steps back, and the stun gun in her hand trembled even more violently.

The full picture of that eye gradually unfolded before Chu Wenwen—it wasn't an ordinary eye at all, but part of a giant fish monster.

The fish-monster had a streamlined body covered in a layer of eerie blue scales that shimmered with a strange light in the seawater. Its head was huge and flat, and its open mouth was filled with sharp teeth, as if it could tear a person to pieces at any moment.

"Monster! There's a monster!"

"Run!"

Panic broke out among the crowd, screams echoing as they desperately ran towards the island. Chu Wenwen was also swept along by the chaotic throng, struggling to move forward.

She kept waving her stun gun behind her, trying to drive away the fish monster.

The eerie blue fish-like creature seemed enraged by the screams and panicked movements of the crowd. It let out a low roar that shook the entire bridge surface.

The sound of the waves surged monotonously beneath the bridge, like a low sigh trapped in a time loop, wave after wave, never ceasing.

...

"Mutations?!"

On the other side, Xi Xi was making serious contact with Liu Yunyan and her group.

According to Liu Yunyan, all the aquatic creatures in the dungeon they were in had undergone varying degrees of mutation.

At first, they thought the colorful fish were just some ice field fish they had never seen before, just like the blue fish they had seen in the ice caves.

However, just as they were becoming curious about these "new species," the baby mermaid was the first to notice something unusual.

As a mermaid, Da Bao naturally had a wealth of experience and had seen countless fish. It immediately realized that these aquatic creatures were extraordinary, with their body structure and behavior being quite different from ordinary sea creatures.

On the seabed, the once vibrant coral reefs are withering and changing color at a visible rate. The bright and dazzling colors are gradually fading, replaced by a sickly grayish-white.

The coral branches become extremely fragile, crumbling into powder at the slightest touch and scattering with the waves.

Meanwhile, those fish that were originally more common began to swell rapidly, their originally rounded shapes becoming twisted and bizarre, as if they were being stretched open from the inside by a force.

Not only did its fins become long and sharp, like razor blades, but its eyes also bulged out, filled with bloodshot veins, radiating a crazy and bloodthirsty light.

These mutated fish no longer swim in groups as before, but instead charge around in the water alone, attacking each other and emitting sharp and piercing cries.

“We suspect it’s related to the polar day.” Liu Yunyan’s voice trembled slightly, as if she hadn’t yet recovered from the experience. “It’s not just animals, people are affected too! Xi Xi, have you noticed that there have been more and more arguments on the public chat lately…”

Her words made Xi's parents fall into deep thought. Indeed, the atmosphere on the public chat screen seemed a bit unusual lately. What started as minor squabbles had become increasingly intense, with many people becoming harsh and sensitive, and even frequently erupting into heated arguments.

Xi Xi nodded in agreement. Indeed, during the polar day, with continuous sunlight and no darkness, people's biological clocks would be completely disrupted.

According to scientific theory, prolonged periods of polar daylight can cause mental anxiety, leading to emotional problems such as irritability and mania, and eventually even disrupting the nervous system.

"So, it seems there's a lot of noise coming from over there too..." Chu Zhiqin suddenly raised her head, gesturing towards the Liaoyuan Organization, which was only a hair's breadth away from them, and said meaningfully.

Before she could finish speaking, a noisy commotion arose outside the car. All three of them were startled, and Xi Zhongcang quietly opened the car window next to him.

The noise continued, interspersed with screams from afar, accompanied by a noticeable tremor. The three of them couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.

Not far away, a huge body leaped out of the sea, bringing with it a powerful current, and rushed towards the island.
