Chapter 215: Human-faced fish in exchange for supplies
The four of them have changed into clothes made of special materials. Although they are not cool enough or breathable enough, they are much tougher and more protective.
Compared to safety, a little heat is nothing.
There were no lights on outside the base. Once it got dark, everything was pitch black and nothing could be seen clearly.
Unlike the previous period, there was not even a moon today. It was truly pitch dark.
There was electricity on the boat, but Nan Ci and the others did not turn on the lights.
There were many ships around, and all of them were pitch black. If they turned on their lights, they would become a light in the darkness, which would be too conspicuous.
On the boat, the four people did not stand together, but were scattered in different directions as before. The four cats and the little turtle also stood in their previous positions.
After ten days, they had already gotten used to such scenes and knew how to deal with them.
As time passed, the water surface became less calm.
The originally silent surroundings gradually began to be filled with different sounds.
That was the sound of something swimming underwater.
Just from the sound, you can tell that there are a lot of things coming.
Even though we have witnessed such scenes more than once in the past few days, the unknown dangers waiting in the dark still make people nervous involuntarily.
Another minute passed and the sound got closer.
With a splash, something rushed out of the water.
Nan Ci was wearing night vision goggles, and although his vision was not very clear, he could vaguely see a face coming towards him and getting closer and closer.
Nan Ci was shocked when he suddenly saw this scene.
I was clearly waiting for fish here, but instead of waiting for any fish, I waited for a human face.
The expression on this person's face was fierce and weird, especially the eyes, which were actually red.
Nan Ci could not see any emotion in those eyes, only endless murderous intent.
When the person's face was about one meter away from him, Nan Ci raised the long knife in his hand without hesitation and chopped at the person's face.
Because the distance was very close, the knife went straight across the man's face.
Nan Ci could clearly hear the sound of the sharp blade cutting through flesh.
The sound was not loud, and if you didn't listen carefully, it would be easy to ignore it.
But Nan Ci heard it clearly.
At the same time, the man's face felt pain, his mouth opened wide, and he let out a painful hiss.
The sound was so sharp and loud that it almost pierced the eardrums, making people subconsciously want to cover their ears.
Nan Ci frowned, enduring the discomfort, but did not raise his hands to cover his ears.
Just by listening to this sound, Nan Ci knew that this was definitely not a sound that could be made by a human.
Although the face in front of me was indeed a human face, it was definitely not a person.
As if to confirm Nan Ci's guess, the person's face was distorted, he screamed, and fell to the deck unwillingly and helplessly.
It was only at this time that Nan Ci saw clearly that it was a fish.
This fish is not big, about the same size as a human face, and its body is also flat.
From the angle Nan Ci was looking at just now, he could clearly see a human face.
But now, looking from above, you can see the body of the fish.
The fish meat is smooth, and even the scales are extremely smooth.
Before Nan Ci could take a closer look, another human-faced fish flew towards her.
Knowing how big these fish are, Nan Ci knew how much strength to use when swinging the knife again.
Every human-faced fish killed by Nan Ci had a slanting knife wound on its face.
The knife wound ran horizontally, and did not cut the human-faced fish in half, but it ensured that every human-faced fish was dead.
As time passed, one human-faced fish after another was killed, and Nan Ci's feet were filled with human-faced fish entities.
Nan Ci was like a fish-killing machine without any emotion, killing fish one after another.
After wielding the knife for a long time, muscle memory gradually formed.
He had just seen the human-faced fish flying towards him, and before his brain could react, the knife in his hand had already been swung out.
While his hands kept moving, Nan Ci was also thinking about a question in his mind.
Why do these mutated fish keep attacking humans?
After observing for a period of time, Nan Ci also discovered that these fish attacked everyone indiscriminately.
All fish, no matter how strange they look, have the same behavioral logic, which is that they will attack humans after dark.
Although she felt strange, Nan Ci also knew that fish could not speak and could not possibly answer her question.
I don’t know how much time has passed, let alone how many fish have been killed.
It was not until dawn that the human-faced fish finally disappeared and the water surface returned to calm.
If it weren't for the mountain of human-faced fish corpses piled at his feet, his sore arms, his extreme mental fatigue and his extreme physical exhaustion, Nan Ci would even suspect that everything that happened before was just a dream.
"Nan Ci, how are you doing?"
Hearing Mu Qianqian's voice, Nan Ci turned around and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Mu Qianqian walking towards him in a disheveled state.
After a night of fighting, Mu Qianqian's face was very pale and her eyes were bloodshot.
At this moment, her brows were tightly furrowed, her face full of disgust.
“These human-faced fish are so disgusting. When I first saw them, I thought they were people rushing towards me, so I subconsciously dodged to the side.
It was not until it fell onto the deck that I could see clearly that it was actually a fish."
Nan Ci also smiled helplessly, "When I first saw him, I almost mistook him for the same person."
The difference between her and Mu Qianqian is that Mu Qianqian dodged, while Nan Ci swung the knife in his hand without hesitation.
However, there is no need to elaborate on this point.
The old Taoist priest, Zhou Ziyang, four cats and the little turtle also came over.
Not surprisingly, they all looked equally miserable now.
They looked a little disheveled, but fortunately no one was injured.
This is a blessing in disguise.
They didn't waste any time and immediately planned to throw the bodies of these human-faced fish into the water.
This water is flowing, and it won't be long before the body of the human-faced fish will be washed away.
Those that are not washed away will be eaten by strange fish in the water.
It will not cause a scene where the water surface is full of fish carcasses.
Nan Ci had just thrown a fish into the water when the egg-shaped boat next door opened its small window again.
The man I saw yesterday was now leaning on the window.
The man looked at Nan Ci and the others in surprise, and his eyes quickly fell on the corpse of the mermaid.
"Why did you throw away the body of the human-faced fish? We can take these to the base to exchange for supplies!"
