Upon hearing the shout, the crew member piloting the boat immediately pushed the engine lever to its maximum.
The engine roared to life, and a huge wave rose from the stern.
The waves propelled the motorboat forward with tremendous force, and they no longer had time to lure the monsters.
Just as the water splashed up at the stern, Lu Yuan saw a red-bodied ghoul underwater.
The creature's head was still bald, but its limbs were outrageously long.
More importantly, it moves very quickly, its two webbed feet moving as if it were equipped with a small engine.
Without further hesitation, Lu Yuan immediately shouted loudly to the crowd.
"Shoot! Kill that ghoul immediately, or you might be in danger."
As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, the team members who were already prepared immediately picked up their guns and began to aim.
However, that ghoul moved very fast underwater.
Its two feet rolled around like a motor, creating a spray of waves behind it.
"Da da da" bullets hit the water near the enemy, splashing up sprays of water.
Seemingly sensing the danger, the cannibal suddenly burrowed into the water and disappeared.
Lu Yuan immediately realized the danger. Once the other party entered the water, it would be very difficult for them to catch the cannibal again.
After a moment's thought, Lu Yuan made a decision immediately.
"Everyone go up and get ready to provide support. As soon as they come up, start shooting at the bottom of the water."
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Xu Changbing, who was prepared, couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Boss, do we really have to use bullets? Those ghouls don't seem to pose much of a threat to us. If we just go up there, we should be fine."
However, Lu Yuan shook his head slightly.
"No, I have a feeling that the ghoul's speed is so fast, it must be an evolved speed. If it really pounces on us, we might not even have time to react. We should try to take it down in one go, otherwise our subsequent actions will be affected by it!"
After listening, Xu Changping immediately nodded and led his team to make preparations.
As the airship entered the curved ravine, several slings were immediately lowered.
They attached the hooks of the slings to the bow and waist of their boats.
With a sudden tug from the team members above, the speedboat and their bodies slid upwards.
However, just as they emerged from the water, a crimson-red cannibal appeared below, its long, slender hand grabbing their motorboat.
The crimson-red ghoul gave Lu Yuan a sense of danger.
Xu Changbing, who hadn't taken it seriously before, immediately gave the order to fire upon seeing the cannibal's full appearance.
The soldiers fired precisely at the ghoul that was radiating a red glow.
The bullet pierced his body, and immediately, the cannibal fell from above, splashing a large amount of water.
Lu Yuan continued looking into the water through his binoculars.
Soon, the ghoul's body was torn to pieces by the other ghouls that were chasing after it.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan felt even more anxious and uneasy.
"Damn it, it seems there are quite a few of these mutated ghouls underwater. We must eliminate them as soon as possible, or we will face an even greater threat!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan immediately led his men into the water and picked up javelins to shoot continuously at the bottom of the water.
This time, Lu Yuan and his men stabbed for nearly two hours before finally stopping.
To prevent any of the cannibals from escaping, Lu Yuan specifically ordered his men to scoop all the cannibals out of the water.
This time, the wasted time wasn't just a few hours.
More than a hundred people spent a day and a night searching and finally managed to pull all the cannibals out of the water.
Many of the cannibals had pieces of bright red flesh turned out of their mouths and stomachs.
Wearing rubber gloves, Lu Yuan picked up the slices of meat.
A foul stench immediately hit him, but Lu Yuan could indeed sense that the meat contained a considerable amount of energy.
He immediately took the meat to the dimensional space, where Qiao Ya was conducting an experiment.
Hearing a noise outside, he looked up slightly and glanced outside.
Lu Yuan hurried over and placed a plastic bag in front of him.
"We've discovered a new type of ghoul here. We managed to remove a part of its body last time. Take a look and see if you can find anything inside this ghoul's body."
Qiao Ya put down her tools, turned her head to look at the bright red slice of meat on the table, and a serious expression appeared on her face.
"This type of ghoul is extremely fast, and its abilities are even more ferocious than those of the larger ghouls. Because of their incredible speed, eliminating them must have come at a considerable cost!"
Lu Yuan nodded slightly. They had indeed paid a heavy price, but there were no casualties.
"Hmm, it seems we need to develop the second-generation potion as soon as possible, but we also need some living second-tier ghouls!"
If you have the ability, you'd better get me a living second-tier ghoul. Dead ones aren't of much research value to me!
After listening, Lu Yuan shrugged helplessly.
Having received no further information, he left the dimensional space once more.
When they got back outside, dinner had already started. Lu Yuanduan silently ate his meal, and Xiao Shan leaned over with some concern.
"I heard you encountered those blood-red ghouls?"
"Yes, those cannibals are extremely fast, making them much harder to deal with than the larger cannibals, and they are also very fast underwater!"
As for their speed on land, I'm not so sure. We'll probably need to be even more meticulous in our defenses lately, otherwise, if they launch a surprise attack, we might not even have a chance to escape!
Xiao Shan nodded slightly. In the past two days, she had heard many team members whispering about the cannibals in the camp.
She had heard some of it, but she had never heard of such ghouls before.
I've only heard that these cannibals move very fast, even faster than speedboats when they move on foot.
"Don't worry too much. There probably aren't many of these ghouls. We just need to eliminate them!"
