'Splash splash'
The surging waves kept crashing against the shore, and the biting cold wind swept through the small fishing village.
Longyuan stood at the highest point of the fishing village.
Despite the howling wind, his posture remained upright like a pine tree, motionless like a sculpture, quietly gazing into the darkness ahead.
Finally, a glimmer of light appeared in the pitch-black night.
With a flashlight in hand, Shen Yi led the survivors, trudging through the mud and water, toward the fishing village.
Long Yuan didn't see Jiang Nian'an and the others. His eyes suddenly darkened, and he jumped down from the high ground, rushed to Shen Yi, and asked with a grim expression, "Where are my sister and the others?"
Seeing this, Shen Yi quickly explained why Jiang Nian'an and the others hadn't come to the small fishing village together, and then said, "Madam told us to wait for them here."
Upon hearing that Jiang Nian'an and the others' journey was not delayed due to danger, Long Yuan's expression softened considerably.
"Let them squeeze into these houses first; it'll be warmer there!"
After saying this, Long Yuan turned around and went back to the high ground, continuing to gaze into the distance.
Although the surrounding log cabins were dilapidated, they at least provided some shelter from the cold wind.
Shen Yi, along with his shadow, quickly organized the survivors into groups and led them into the cabins to rest.
Time passed second by second, and as the first rays of dawn pierced through the clouds, Jiang Nian'an and her group finally came into Long Yuan's sight.
"Sisters, you've finally arrived!"
He strode forward, and the mutated creatures lurking underwater began to surface.
"Well, I encountered some inconsiderate people on the way, and it took me a while to deal with them, which is why I'm late."
Jiang Nian'an offered an explanation.
Hearing the commotion, the person in the shadows also quickly came out of the house.
"Have everyone come out and prepare to leave," Shen Nanxing said, turning to Shen Yi.
"yes!!"
Ten minutes later, the survivors lined up neatly in three squares, quietly awaiting Shen Nanxing's next order.
Jiang Nian'an selected ten enormous fish, each large enough to support two or three hundred people on its back.
"Let them line up!"
The giant fish floated quietly on the water like a large ship moored at the shore, level with the coastline.
"this......"
The survivors turned pale as they looked at the countless mutated creatures on the sea surface, trembling so much that they dared not climb onto the back of the giant fish.
Shen Nanxing pinched his brow impatiently. "Shen Yi, you take your men up first and set an example for them!"
"yes!"
Shen Yi immediately led his men to the front and onto the back of the giant fish.
The fish's back is covered with short, barbs that look like downy hairs, which sway back and forth as the seawater washes over it.
But the moment Shen Yi and the others stepped on it, the barbs immediately hardened, making the entire back rough, allowing them to stand steadily on it.
With Shen Yi and the others taking the lead, the braver survivors gritted their teeth and climbed onto the giant fish's back one by one.
Seeing that they were all standing safely on the back of the giant fish, the remaining people carefully moved onto the giant body.
"Hurry up! Anyone who hasn't gone up in five minutes can stay in Yun City and pray for their own good fortune!"
Shen Nanxing gazed at the flying modified cat hovering above the distant high-rise buildings, his eyes darkening slightly.
Upon hearing this, the survivors forgot their fear and rushed to climb onto the giant fish's back.
In just one minute, everyone successfully climbed onto the back of the giant fish.
The large stream cleared the way, while the smaller streams cut off the rear, and other mutated marine creatures surrounded the ten giant fish.
Longyuan and Dahuo, along with Xiaozhan and the others, sat on the back of the giant fish in the very center.
Let's go!
Shen Nanxing stood on the high water with his arm around Jiang Nian'an's shoulder, saying, "Keep moving forward."
'roar--'
No sooner had they left than the Bi family arrived with a large group of mutated monsters.
"Damn it, I'm too late!"
Looking at the empty fishing village and the sea, the leading man gritted his teeth and growled.
The person behind him also looked grim. "So what do we do now?"
What else can we do?
The leader turned around angrily, his expression grim. "Report the truth, and then accept your punishment!"
He simply couldn't understand why the Shen family could command the mutated creatures in the sea, each of them possessing formidable strength, to the point that all the modified monsters they sent out never returned!
"Should we contact the flower market again and ask them to send some stronger personnel—"
"Can't!"
Before the people behind him could finish speaking, they were frightened by the fierce and malevolent look in the eyes of the leader.
"If they find out that all those things are dead, we'll all be buried with them!"
His fierce gaze swept across the faces of the people next to him, his voice hoarse and laced with a sinister threat, "So if you want to live, we'll pretend we were never here today and that we didn't know they had already left Yun City!"
"So what do we do now?" the person behind him asked cautiously. "And even if we don't say anything now, once they rendezvous with the main enemy force, the Flower Market will know that our mission has failed!"
Their purpose in coming to Yun City was to delay or severely damage Shen Nanxing and his group.
But now, not only are they ensuring the target's safe departure from Yun City, they're also trying to keep it a secret from their superiors—
He simply couldn't bear to think about what would happen to them.
"I'll try to survive as long as I can..."
The leader was well aware of the consequences of failing the mission and being exposed for deception, but he would definitely choose to die later rather than sooner.
No, he doesn't want to die!
A flicker of hesitation and struggle crossed the man's eyes, but they quickly hardened again, as if he had made a firm decision.
"Walk!"
He waved his hand and turned to run towards the city center.
They put on a show and set a trap.
Since we're going to pretend we don't know anything about this, we need to continue searching for the target's whereabouts.
......
Beneath the towering city walls that rose from the ground in just three days, the modified monsters charged upwards as if their lives depended on it.
The soldiers on the city wall remained calm and collected, skillfully operating various weapons and equipment, accurately launching powerful cannonballs into the dense horde of monsters below.
Other superhumans were also present to help knock down the monsters that had climbed up.
'Boom boom boom—'
The entire battlefield was enveloped in deafening artillery fire, filled with smoke and chaos.
Shen Nanchuan and his companions stood on the watchtower behind the city wall, observing the situation on the battlefield from afar.
"Brother, what do you think the Bi family means by this?"
Luo Yue looked at the modified monsters whose overall strength was only level one or two, and a look of doubt flashed in her eyes.
These cannon fodder-level modified monsters can't do any harm to them at all.
“They are wearing us down.” Luo Yi saw through their trick at a glance.
The stockpile of weapons is limited, but the Bi family's modified monsters can be recreated at any time.
Even a mosquito, a fly, a flower, or a blade of grass.
It's practically endless.
By accumulating such a large number of resources, they will eventually have to send people out to fight head-on.
Once the others are exhausted, the Bi family can easily win.
