Everyone started brainstorming ways to retrieve the meteorite fragments from the lake.
Finally, a solution was found: Yuewu, Linmu, and Bazhua would go together in a speedboat.
First, Lin Mu released a wave of lightning into the lake. Even if it didn't kill the fish, it would paralyze them for a while.
Next, Octopus went down into the lake to retrieve the meteorite, while the others provided support from the speedboat.
This is the only method that is still somewhat feasible, since dealing with hundreds or thousands of fish is not an easy task.
Le Wu quickly retrieved the assault boat, and after the group boarded, they sped towards their target.
The commotion on the lake naturally attracted the attention of the fish below, who swam toward the speedboat in perfect unison.
Upon reaching the target point, the music and dance stopped, and Lin Mu unhesitatingly unleashed lightning at the lake below.
A surge of strong current lasted for 30 seconds. Lin Mu couldn't hold on any longer and stopped. Yue Wu immediately handed him some spiritual spring water to help him recover.
Octopus couldn't wait to jump into the water and swim downstream at high speed.
The fish, still under anesthesia, had long lost control of their bodies and were drifting aimlessly.
Some fish that were close to the speedboat have already turned belly up and are silently flying towards paradise.
Octopus didn't want to be surrounded again, so before the fish could react, she pushed her speed to the limit and finally reached the bottom of the lake.
Stirring up the silt at the bottom of the lake with its tentacles, the octopus began to search, and soon found a fragment of a meteorite lying quietly in a not-too-deep pit.
Upon seeing it, the octopus immediately used its tentacles to gather up the meteorite fragments and swam upwards.
The fish that were further away and less severely shocked have now recovered.
Seeing the octopus trying to escape, their anger erupted, and they rushed towards the hateful octopus, wanting to eat her alive.
Yue Wu listened to Xiao Yi's report on the octopus's condition. He could clearly sense the energy around him, including the fish that had been electrocuted first and the fish that had regained consciousness first.
As more and more fish recovered, those schools of fish that were not far away to begin with blocked the octopus and the speedboat.
Octopus was also ready for battle, determined to protect the meteorite fragments from being lost no matter what.
Suddenly a vine extended downwards from the water, reached the octopus, and wrapped around it, while the outside was covered with 10-centimeter-long sharp thorns.
The fish were getting increasingly frustrated because they couldn't find a way to bite them.
Meanwhile, other fish turned and began attacking the speedboat, with some even leaping out of the water to try and bite Yuewu and Linmu.
Isn't that ridiculous?
First of all, the materials used in the assault boats are made with nanotechnology, making them cut-resistant and fireproof—truly high-tech products.
On the other side, whenever a fish jumped out, Lin Mu would release lightning, and soon the whole place was filled with the aroma of fish.
If these creatures hadn't mutated and I wasn't sure if they were edible, Yuewu would have liked to catch some and bring them back to give the big guys in the villa complex a change of pace.
Soon, the octopus was safely brought out of the lake by the vines and onto the speedboat. Without lingering, Yuewu immediately started the boat and returned to the shore.
Weiwei and Susu were getting anxious, especially when they saw fish jumping out of the water to attack, they were worried that something was wrong.
Fortunately, everyone is safe and sound, and Yuewu also expressed her regret.
Xiao Yi then spoke up and told Yue Wu, "The fish in the lake are edible, but because of the presence of mutant factors, if humans eat too much of them, it will affect their bodily functions."
Yuewu asked in shock, "Does it primarily restrict human superpowers?"
Xiao Yi: "Yes!"
Well, here's another piece of evidence targeting humans.
Le Wu pouted and said helplessly, "Let's just eat the food we prepared ourselves. I'm really afraid that one day, when we run out of food, we'll regret not stocking up more."
Xiao Yi comforted her, "Don't worry, Mom. These mutated fish are edible. Activate the meteorite fragments you obtained, open the scroll panel with your mind, and activate the fishpond. After raising the mutated fish in the upgraded fishpond for a period of time, they will be restored."
"And space can also extract energy from their bodies and use it for spatial evolution. The same principle applies to other mutated animals and mutated plants."
Yue Wu's eyes widened in excitement; she had never imagined that the space could be manipulated in this way.
Xiao Yi: "Energy is conserved. This sudden surge of energy is too domineering, causing many organisms to be unable to withstand it, which in turn leads to mutations."
"It's actually similar to radiation, which can cause cell mutations in the human body and cause bacteria in the body to mutate, which is why the zombie virus spread."
"Space can then utilize this energy from the universe to promote its evolution."
Le Wu suddenly thought, "Could we also bring zombies into the space and absorb their energy?"
Lin Mu: I feel like you're targeting me, but I have no proof.
Xiao Yi replied, "Don't you find it disgusting?"
Lin Mu: This is even more heartbreaking.
Le Wu suddenly realized: "That's right, if there are zombies in the space, we won't be able to eat."
No sooner had I said that than I felt a resentful gaze on my back.
Yue Wu turned her head and saw Lin Mu staring at her intently. She finally realized that she had said the wrong thing.
"Lin Mu, you're different from them. You're our partner," Yue Wu hurriedly explained.
Lin Mu lowered his head, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.
However, Yuewu misunderstood, thinking that Lin Mu was too sad to even look at her.
For a moment, Yuewu didn't know how else to explain the significance of their partnership, and thought she would have a proper talk with him when she got back.
