Chapter 786: Mutated Shark
Even though the mutant shark is not as big as the previous squid, it is still hundreds of meters in size.
Such a behemoth would be a disaster wherever it appears.
"It keeps hitting the island. We can't hold on for long," an earth-type mutant shouted.
Even though their level of psychics is not low, they still cannot withstand such constant consumption.
Several exits of the underground city not far away have been opened, and soldiers are constantly pulling people up from below in a hurry - the underground city has been completely flooded.
Ning Yuan was very clear at this time that they could no longer defend this place.
"Li Qing, take people to evacuate inland." Ning Yuan stood up while shouting, "The rest of the people should buy some time."
Ye Jia stood up without hesitation, his white hair was particularly conspicuous, and his tone was excited, "Should we kill it? What level of mutant animal is this?"
Yu Mengchu pulled him back, frowning, "How long will it take?"
"If possible... kill as many as possible." Ning Yuan's face was filled with murderous intent, and he met everyone's gaze. "All the research institutes in our base are underground, and all the equipment is non-renewable. Once the island is destroyed..."
Not only would their base's research efforts be destroyed, but they would probably have little chance of getting back on their feet.
"I know this is the base's responsibility and we have no right to ask you to fight to your death," Ning Yuan looked at the person in charge of each team, "but each of you is a beneficiary. I hope everyone can stand up at this time, but if you are unwilling, please go to the rear and replace Li Qing's team."
"Base Commander...how long will it take for you to come back?" Yu Mengchu said what everyone wanted to ask.
Ning Yuan opened his mouth and chuckled, "He doesn't know how to use the magnetic field corrector."
“…”
“…”
Amidst the silence, Ning Yuan waved to everyone, turned around to stretch his muscles, and strode towards the direction of the mutant shark.
Brothers Liu Rui, Xu Sa and Gu Qingyue followed closely behind.
Soon after, Zhao Gang and everyone from the Panshui base followed - they had the least choice.
The remaining team leaders looked at each other, and no one said a word.
Compared with the base army, they are competitors to each other. The base has limited resources, and if there are more teams, naturally less will be allocated to each team.
Whenever there was a risk of injury, they watched each other.
No one wanted to take the lead, and in the end it was the oldest Du Ping who stepped forward and said to the deputy captain Meng Shu beside him, "I'll go help, you take the team back and help with the transfer..."
"Captain," the bookish Meng Shu interrupted him for the first time. He raised his chin towards the coastline and asked, "Where is the way to transfer?"
The mutant shark over there was wandering back and forth, with no intention of returning to its original place. Sometimes it turned sideways and slapped the island with its huge body, and sometimes it swam away and hit it hard.
The distance of a little over a thousand meters was simply not enough for him to use his strength, but he had no intention of leaving at all.
Li Qing, who was preparing to condense seawater to build an ice road leading directly to the shore, had to lead his team and Ning Yuan to take action together, trying to lead the mutant sharks to another direction first. However, no matter how many attacks they received, the mutant sharks had no intention of leaving.
This undoubtedly cut off their possibility of getting ashore.
The other teams were speechless after seeing this scene. They had no chance to make a choice now, as the mutant shark had already made the choice for them.
"Looks like we have to cooperate again." Du Ping looked at Ye Jia.
Ye Jia followed his steps with a grin on his face, "Oh, isn't this fate?"
The two of them left first, and Chen Xing did not hesitate and followed closely behind them. The captains of the three major teams in the base had all left, and the remaining small and medium-sized teams had nothing to worry about or hesitate about. They followed while talking to each other. They did not look like they were going to duel with mutant animals that were hundreds of times larger than humans. Instead, they were as leisurely as if they were going out to play mahjong.
The side of the base close to the coastline is connected to the artificial breeding farm of Yueban Bay, which is only over 100 meters deep. It is not enough for the mutant sharks to stretch out, and it feels a bit cramped.
Ning Yuan initially thought that water-based psychics could solidify the local sea area and force the mutant sharks away from the area, thus making way for those who were leaving. If that wasn't possible, forcing the creatures living in the sea out of the water would also provide space for other psychics to be used.
However, unexpectedly, after the entire sea area was solidified, the mutant shark was trapped in it. This surprised all the water-based mutants, who felt that this was an opportunity to kill the opponent directly.
However, countless ice spikes were unable to pierce the mutant shark's skin, and the mutant shark just struggled hard. The ice layer crackled, and cracks appeared. Then the mutant shark broke through the sea surface, jumped out of the ice layer, and fell back on the ice. The surrounding solid ice layer was covered with mottled cracks.
The shark out of water caused the fire-type mutants who had been unable to perform their duties to take action.
However, neither the fire nor the metal elements could cause any harm to the mutant shark. In fact, the slippery ice surface made the mutant shark move faster and hit the island with greater force.
"Does anyone know what level of mutant this is?"
"The machine hasn't been brought up yet, so we can't be sure."
"Definitely not low."
"Fortunately I don't have any super powers."
"This is not a solution. Our special powers will be exhausted sooner or later."
"Do we still have the ultimate weapon? Commander Ning, we don't need to hide it now, right?"
Thinking of the several shots that Lu Weiyi had fired at the mutant squid before, everyone looked at Ning Yuan.
"..." Ning Yuan gritted his teeth and shook his head, "It's damaged."
In fact, the base even has weapons that are more damaging than bazookas, but they are difficult to produce and are inevitably small in number. They have indeed always been the base's secret weapons. However, in order to avoid being unable to produce them after being damaged, they have already been stored in Lu Weiyi's space.
No one expected that such a huge monster would appear around the island they had cleared.
But at this time Ning Yuan couldn't say that they were worried about damage and had moved everything.
The mutant shark relied on its thick skin and flesh and did not defend itself at all, focusing all its attention on attacking the island.
All the earth-type psychics in the base have gathered together, using their powers to control the tilted island so that it will not be knocked off course. However, as their powers are exhausted, the situation becomes out of control again.
With another collision, the island tilted again, and Ning Yuan and Liu Rui, who were standing at the front, were caught off guard and fell straight towards the ice surface.
"Ning Yuan——"
"Liu Rui!"
Xu Sa reached out and grabbed Liu Rui's clothes, but Liu Rui was quick-witted and quick-handed. A flash of flame passed by and burned the clothes, and he fell down.
The mutant shark below opened its mouth wide, waiting for the two to fall in.
The huge fangs are cold and sharp. Once bitten, there is probably no chance of escape.
"Thunder type psychic, please help!" Xu Sa shouted, and a bolt of lightning as thick as a wrist in the air grew thicker little by little as if it was storing electricity.
Those users with lightning abilities who reacted immediately activated and integrated their abilities. The lightning gradually became as thick as thighs, crackling and flashing with astonishing amounts of electricity.
If such a strong electric current hits the human body, it will probably be reduced to ashes in an instant, and there may not even be a trace of the corpse left.
Xu Sa controlled the electric current and sent it all into the mutant shark's wide-open mouth.
Electricity flashed, and the mutant shark's huge body twitched suddenly.
"it works--"
"Quick, attack the mouth."
The huge shark twitched and struggled, constantly hitting the ice surface, and when Ning Yuan and Liu Rui were about to land, they were rolled up by a mutant plant that grew rapidly on the ice surface, thus avoiding the possibility of being crushed into minced meat.
Gu Qingji on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to ask the small plant to send the two people up, he saw that the two people below had already used their weapons tacitly to attack the mutant shark.
Long-range attacks restricted them to using their superpowers, and at this moment, they all held weapons, scimitars that were strengthened and condensed by Antonio, an SS-level metal-type superpower user, and blessed with their respective superpowers, and the blades were flashing with light.
It was originally just a vent of anger, but who would have thought that with one cut, the skin was actually cut in a place that could not be hurt no matter how the supernatural power was attacked.
Although the wound was not deep, it broke the skin's defense, providing a breakthrough for supernatural attacks.
"Attack the wound--" Ning Yuan dodged the small plant's attempt to carry him up and attacked the giant shark again.
Everyone at the base also saw this situation. Although they didn't understand what was happening for a moment, no one wanted to miss this opportunity.
With the cooperation of Gu Qingji's mutant plants, Liu Rui and Ning Yuan continuously created various wounds on the mutant shark. However, due to the huge difference in size, these injuries were not as harmful to the mutant shark as the lightning just now. However, no one was willing to give up.
Fortunately, the two people were too small in the eyes of the mutant shark. After searching twice in vain, it still firmly set its target on the island. This made the attack of the two people extremely smooth and also made the two people relax their vigilance. The distance between them, which was originally not far apart, gradually began to disperse.
However, when it hit the island again, the mutant shark's tail slapped the ground, and its head, which was originally heading towards the base, suddenly turned sideways, and its huge body crashed towards Liu Rui.
Behind him was an island mountain, and in front of him was a shark body sliding towards him as fast as a hill. Liu Rui had almost no way to avoid it.
The accident came too suddenly, and he didn't even have time to react before his whole body touched the shark's slippery skin.
At this moment, the ice under his feet suddenly gave way and Liu Rui fell down suddenly. When he reappeared, he was already next to Ning Yuan, who had been at the tail.
"Are you okay?" Ning Yuan asked.
Liu Rui shook his head, his face not looking very good, "I...I...have superpowers..."
Ning Yuan knew what he meant and nodded, saying, "My supernatural powers are almost exhausted."
The two of them are the highest-level psychics in the base. If they are already like this, one can imagine the others.
Ning Yuan looked towards the violently shaking island with concern, and saw a black dot flying quickly in the sky not far away.
The battle between the two behemoths caused the surrounding mutant birds to retreat, which allowed them to put all their strength into the mutant sharks. If more mutant birds came at this time, the ordinary people exposed on the island would become a feast in the mouths of the mutant animals.
