Chapter 89 Natural Disaster Survival: Power Outage
The undercurrent surged, and a group of fish shadows cut straight through the waves like arrows released from a bow, arriving in front of us in the blink of an eye.
[School of Piranhas]
Each piranha was no bigger than the palm of a hand, but the school was dense, and their countless teeth gleamed coldly, surrounding them.
Fang Zhiyi waved his hands, trying to drive them away.
The school of fish parted for a moment, turned in the water, flicked their tails, and then bit down hard again.
The piranhas' sharp teeth easily tore through the skin, leaving wounds and bleeding, which further fueled the piranhas' ferocity.
Fang Zhiyi couldn't dodge in time, which caused the oxygen to be consumed even faster. A string of bubbles rose up, and he accidentally choked on a mouthful of water.
When it rains, it pours.
He held his breath, his throat burning with pain, and his shoulders and back throbbed with pain.
【Ruthless Fish-Catching Techniques】
The purpose of this name is to terrify small fish and keep them away. Piranhas appear to be small fish, so they should also fall within the scope of the name's effect.
The new title has been applied, and the passive effect has taken effect. The piranha school, which had been attacking fiercely just moments before, suddenly paused, seemingly sensing danger, and hesitantly retreated.
Fang Zhiyi seized the opportunity to speed up and shake them off. Looking back, he saw that the piranhas, hindered by the effect of [Ruthless Fish Surge], dared not approach, but were reluctant to leave the smell of blood, and lagged far behind.
Fang Zhiyi withdrew his gaze, took off the oxygen bag from his waist, took a deep breath to replenish his oxygen, and caught up with Chu Zhao ahead.
Chu Zhao was also entangled by the piranhas and could not move an inch.
Fang Zhiyi, relying on his reputation as a ruthless fish catcher, charged straight in.
A commotion broke out among the fish, and the piranhas scattered.
Fang Zhiyi successfully reached Chu Zhao's side, grabbed his hand, and broke through the piranhas' encirclement, swimming headfirst towards the exit.
A massive school of piranhas followed behind, like a dark cloud looming overhead, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.
Fortunately, the title of "ruthless fish killer" remained in effect, and the piranha swarm could only watch helplessly.
After swimming a distance, Fang Zhiyi looked back again, only to find that the school of piranhas behind him had suddenly vanished without a trace.
Fang Zhiyi had some doubts.
However, it was a good thing that the piranhas didn't follow, so he didn't investigate further.
Having passed through the territory of the piranhas, they had made it through the narrowest and lowest section and could now surface for air.
Fang Zhiyi couldn't wait to surface, shake off his wet hair, and breathe in the precious oxygen.
The miner's lamp flickered on and off, and the water ahead was deep and unfathomable.
After glancing at the map, I figured I needed to swim another 500 or 600 meters to leave the cave.
Fang Zhiyi didn't rest for long and planned to swim out in one go.
The groundwater was cold, and my physical strength was being depleted very quickly.
Fang Zhiyi took a chocolate bar from the pocket of his down jacket and popped it into his mouth with the groundwater. The sweet chocolate melted on his tongue, replenishing his body with warmth. The wrapper floated downstream, reaching the front even faster than they were.
The packaging bag spun on the water's surface. Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed beneath it, followed by a huge figure bursting out from underwater and snapping its jaws into the bag.
Splash—
The water surged and splashed, sending sprays of water flying everywhere.
Under the miner's lamp, the figure was revealed—a giant black fish almost as long as an adult, with a long, powerful tail, hard, dense scales, a broad, flat head, and dark eyes coldly staring at the two people who had intruded into its territory.
Giant oglosso
[Stamina 100/100]
Why did the piranha schools disappear? Because they encroached on the territory of more ferocious predators.
The phrase "ruthless fish-catching" also came into play at this moment.
Intimidating small fish can also easily provoke the anger of giant fish.
The dinoflagellate fish's hatred fell upon Fang Zhiyi.
The river flowed past my side.
Fang Zhiyi made a decisive decision: "Go!"
To get out of the cave, we have to pass through the territory of the giant arapaima. Instead of being timid, we should take the initiative and catch it off guard.
Clearly, the giant arapaima hadn't expected them to be so fierce, charging forward without even a moment's hesitation. The giant arapaima was visibly startled, and Fang Zhiyi seized the opportunity, pinning its head down and delivering a powerful punch.
Bang!
The giant arapaima was hit so hard it saw stars and was completely disoriented.
Fang Zhiyi wasn't much better off; the giant dinoflagellate's bones were so hard that they made his hands ache from the impact.
Both the man and the fish paused for a moment. The giant salami was the first to react, and with a flick of its tail, it tried to drag Fang Zhiyi to the bottom of the water.
As the water surged, Fang Zhiyi swallowed two mouthfuls of water, his shoulders slumped down, and he was almost dragged into the water.
Fortunately, Chu Zhao arrived in time and grabbed the giant linguine fish by the tail.
The giant ogres struggled frantically, unleashing tremendous power in the water, and slapped Chu Zhao in the chest with its tail, sending him flying several meters backward.
Fang Zhiyi didn't have time to look. Taking advantage of the giant liaotibial fish's fatigue, he flipped over and straddled its back, forcefully inserting his fingers into its gills to hold himself firmly in place.
I'm going to get first place!
A small red flower popped out from her hair with a "pop," waving and staring at the crystal-clear water droplets.
Strength and speed +100%!
After the upgrade was completed, its amber eyes narrowed instantly, its throat gurgled, and icy flames were exhaled from its mouth. The blue-white mist came into contact with the giant linguine fish, and a layer of frost instantly condensed on it, forming a lifelike ice sculpture on the outside.
Dragon Slayer
Active skill: Frost Dragon Breath, use!
When the temperature drops, the giant arapaima moves sluggishly.
Fang Zhiyi grabbed the fish by the gills and slammed the giant hyoid fish against the rock wall.
Bang!
Bang! Bang!
The ice and frost shattered, leaving behind a large patch of fish scales and blood on the rock wall, which was quickly washed away by the water.
Giant oglosso
【Stamina 30/100】
The giant ogres lay there listlessly, most of their scales missing.
Fang Zhiyi, panting heavily, slapped the fish head: "Have you given up yet?"
If giant arapaima could talk, it would definitely say: "I give up."
But it couldn't speak; it could only helplessly roll its fish eyes.
Fang Zhiyi was also exhausted and leaned against the giant arapaima.
The ripoteus twitched its tail, seemingly trying to escape. But before it could run, Fang Zhiyi grabbed its gills: "Still have the energy to run?"
Giant arapaima: "..."
The giant arapaima was truly terrified and lay there, ramming itself to its death.
Fang Zhiyi looked at the dead fish in front of him, his eyes darting around, and an idea came to him: "If you listen to me, I'll let you go."
The giant anaconda nodded.
A moment later.
A massive fish shadow ripped through the water. Fang Zhiyi grabbed the fin and sat steadily on the fish's back. The icy groundwater splashed against his cheeks. Looking ahead, a blinding white light suddenly appeared.
The giant ogres dived to the bottom of the water, swam forward for a distance, and then suddenly broke out of the water.
Whoosh!
The sky was bright and clear, a deep blue, and my eyelids stung, causing me to shed tears.
"Someone has come out of the cave—"
A surprised voice came from the shore, but before anyone could see clearly, an electronic voice arrived first.
You have successfully completed post-apocalyptic world 04-999-underground-cave survival.

[Rewards are being processed...]
The scene before my eyes froze, the colors gradually faded, and after my eyes adjusted to the glaring light, I was back in the game's system space.
The familiar font flashed, signaling the start of a new round of settlements.

[Gained 20 survival points]
...
The difficulty of the Cave Survival World is medium, and the points earned are increased by 50%. After the points are doubled at the end, I received 210 survival points, bringing my total to 740. It seems that after completing 1 to 2 more survival worlds, I can redeem a completion ticket in the Survival Shop.
As for the 50 basic skill points he obtained, Fang Zhiyi, as usual, distributed them evenly among stamina and hunger.
Having experienced the cave survival world, the importance of stamina and hunger becomes increasingly prominent. There is no game backpack in the cave, so you must climb with a heavy load, and your stamina drops especially quickly. In addition, you can only rest and recover at supply points. Once your stamina and hunger are insufficient, you can easily fall into a vicious cycle and eventually be eliminated.
Fortunately, Fang Zhiyi achieved high scores in several worlds in a row, gaining a lot of basic skill points, and his stamina and hunger levels remained at a good level.
My profile page is now as follows.

Fang Zhiyi glanced at it, closed the personal interface, and then clicked another button on the light screen.

Is there even a need to choose?
Fang Zhiyi immediately looked at the option with the most points. He didn't choose it directly, but instead sent Chu Zhao a private message first.
[fzy: I choose fire survival]
Chu Zhao responded less than a second after the message was sent.
[Chu Zhao: Okay]
[Chu Zhao: I've made my choice]
Having received a definite answer, Fang Zhiyi clicked on the last option.
The world has made its choice.

[Doomsday Code 05-999-City-Natural Disaster Survival]
Fang Zhiyi was prepared to face natural disasters as soon as he arrived in the world. The moment he opened his eyes, his body tensed up, ready to use his title skill to escape at any moment.
Fang Zhiyi: "..."
After being on guard for a long time, nothing happened.
For a moment, he was bewildered, then turned to observe his surroundings.
Unlike the previous worlds, there are no urgent missions issued, nor are there any thrilling or exciting plots.
What came into view was an ordinary room, or more accurately, a deluxe king room in a hotel.
Luxurious crystal chandeliers hang down, the snow-white mattress is soft, stepping over the woven carpet, pushing open the window to look down, the room is on a very high floor, the scenery below becomes tiny, pedestrians and cars become moving black dots.
Fang Zhiyi was unsure what dangers this survival world might hold. After checking the room, he found no special items, only a fruit plate and two bottles of mineral water on the coffee table.
I unscrewed the bottle of mineral water, took a sip, and casually put it back on the coffee table. I pushed open the door, and the long, narrow hallway outside had a light that flickered briefly before going out.
"The power is out!"
