Chapter 525 Misfortunes Never Come Alone
"My goodness, 10 kilometers! It's a full 10 kilometers from here to the opposite shore, which is equivalent to a marathon swimming race in the past."
Upon hearing this, the fat man looked unhappy and began to complain.
Han Shuo ignored him and continued swimming on his own.
Xiao Zhao, on the other hand, looked excited. He stopped to pat the seawater and turned to reply.
"A marathon swimming race? Great, great, Fatty, how about we race to the other side first? If I win, you can lend me Lao Wu's game console for a couple of days. We're both genetically evolved level 4 humans, you won't lose out."
After he finished speaking, without waiting for the fat man's agreement, he left a sentence and plunged into the water.
"I'm off now!"
"Damn it..."
The fat man saw that Xiao Zhao's rear end seemed to have a small motor installed, and in a flash, it left him more than 20 meters behind. Without further delay, he quickly chased after him in a dog-paddle style.
He's going to fight for his game console!
In the blink of an eye, the two overtook Han Shuo, who was swimming at a steady pace.
Han Shuo watched the two figures disappear into the distance, then shook his head with a wry smile.
"These two seem to have childish personalities."
...
Ten kilometers is such a long distance that even the best swimmer would die of exhaustion along the way without professional training.
But what can you do when they are genetically engineered humans?
In addition, because they used to catch fish in the river often, all three of them were good swimmers, so this distance, although it would be tiring, was not a problem!
Unfortunately, as the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly.
The three of them had the worst luck today. Han Shuo had only been swimming for a short while when he inadvertently heard some noise behind him.
He glanced back, and that one glance was enough to make him gasp in surprise.
"What the heck! Are we going to do it again?"
"Um?"
The fat man not far in front of him also heard the shout. He instinctively stopped and turned to look.
Suddenly, a black object resembling a sickle appeared on the sea behind us.
The black object sliced through the water and moved rapidly toward them.
Upon seeing this, the fat man's eyes darted around in their sockets, and he spoke uncertainly.
"Huh? This thing looks like a shark fin?"
...
What do you mean by "similar"? This is a shark fin, isn't it?
Han Shuo reacted the fastest, patting his arms vigorously and shouting anxiously.
"Run! There's a shark behind us!"
As soon as the sound faded, the fat man finally came to his senses, his eyes widened, and he swam faster than a rabbit.
"Oh my god, Xiao Zhao, swim faster! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!"
...
The three of them felt incredibly unlucky. They had just seen off a flock of zombie seagulls, and now they were greeted by a shark.
Even though they were all genetically engineered humans, it was the first time they had ever seen such a terrifying creature, and they were so close to each other that they couldn't help but feel some fear.
They all swam very fast, but the ocean is ultimately the domain of marine life.
Han Shuo glanced back and saw the shark fins constantly approaching on the surface of the sea. He knew that if they didn't deal with this problem today, they wouldn't be able to escape from the sea.
The next instant, he took a deep breath and dived into the seawater.
...
After seeing the shark's true form behind him, Han Shuo did not find any red eyes on it.
He thought to himself, "Thank goodness, this shark hasn't turned into a zombie."
This is good news, because sharks that haven't turned into zombies will definitely be easier to deal with.
He quickly drew his Tang sword from his waist, his eyes narrowed, and he prepared to fight.
Because of the great resistance in the seawater, Han Shuo's movements were much slower.
Nevertheless, he remained confident that he could kill the shark.
In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides continued to close. The shark opened its blood-red mouth, revealing two rows of sharp fangs, and attacked Han Shuo!
...
In this emergency, Han Shuo would naturally not sit idly by and wait for his death.
He quickly kicked his legs into the seawater and shifted to the side, dodging the fatal blow.
Then, taking advantage of the shark turning around, he used his black crystal Tang sword to slash at its abdomen.
The sharp blade sliced through the flesh in an instant, and blood gushed out, quickly staining the sea red.
The shark, seemingly in pain, became even more ferocious, launching another menacing attack on Han Shuo.
And so, the two sides became entangled in combat.
About 10 seconds later, Han Shuo plunged a knife into the shark's head, finally killing it completely.
With his current strength, even in the ocean, in an environment unfavorable to his fighting ability, taking down this shark wouldn't be difficult.
The difficulty lies only in overcoming the fear in one's heart. Once the fear is eliminated and one calms down, ordinary sharks pose no threat to him.
...
Han Shuo watched the motionless corpse slowly sink to the seabed and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"nailed it!"
He muttered something to himself and immediately began to rise to the surface. Even as he swam to the surface, he remained cautious, shouting to the two people ahead before continuing to swim quickly forward.
"Quick, keep swimming!"
When Fatty and Xiao Zhao turned around and saw the red seawater behind them, they already knew that Han Shuo had dealt with the shark.
Without saying much, the two waved their arms frantically, wanting only to escape this sea area as quickly as possible.
All three of them knew that the crisis was not truly over at this moment, because blood had just been drawn and the smell of blood would soon spread throughout the sea.
Sharks, on the other hand, are most fond of this bloody smell.
They killed one, which will likely attract a whole bunch more!
At that point, swimming to shore smoothly won't be so easy...
...
"Brother Han, how are you?"
Just then, the silver-haired man's shouts came from the sky.
He and the blond man finally arrived quickly, and at that moment, the two of them were using a hang glider, hovering in mid-air.
Han Shuo looked up and a rare look of joy appeared on his face.
He kept swimming with all four limbs and then looked up and shouted.
"Silver-haired brother, quick, cover us! There are sharks in this area. I just killed one, and the smell of blood will likely attract all the sharks in the vicinity."
The silver-haired man then saw the red seawater and immediately understood what was going on.
"Alright, you just swim forward, leave the rest to us!"
...
Sure enough, not long after he replied, a large number of shark fins appeared on the distant sea.
The silver-haired creatures were roughly counted, and there were nearly a hundred of them.
He quickly drew the pistol from his waist and nodded to the blond man beside him.
Then, a continuous stream of gunfire rang out in the sky.
"Da da da da da..."
The two men rarely use guns, but that doesn't mean they don't know how to use them.
Conversely, both the silver-haired and blonde-haired individuals possessed exceptional marksmanship, and every bullet they fired accurately struck the shark swarm behind them.
...
"Da da da da da..."
And so, after an unknown amount of time, half of the sea was stained red with blood.
Under the cover of silver and blonde hair, Han Shuo and his two companions maintained a swimming speed far exceeding that of ordinary people throughout the entire journey, and finally swam safely to the shore.
