Chapter 33 Mutant fish? Heavy rain
[It has been detected that there are mutant animals near the survivors that pose a huge threat to human survival. A temporary mission is now issued]
[Mission: Eliminate mutant animals in the growth stage - mutant giant-toothed goldfish]
[Difficulty: C]
[Mission successful: Power Fruit*1, R-SR level card pool draw ticket*1, card upgrade card*1 (given that the level of the mutant creatures in this world should be in the infancy stage, special rewards are given)]
(allocated according to contribution)
Qiao Qiao's pupils trembled. The worst situation still happened. She encountered a mutant animal in the water, and it was a water-attributed animal in its growth stage.
"What is this?" Tang Zhijie and Tang Mingli looked confused. It was obviously the first time they had encountered such a situation.
Qiao Qiao couldn't help but doubt her luck. In the first year of the apocalypse, people hardly encountered mutated animals and plants, but she had seen them three times.
"Mutated animals, probably caused by the apocalypse, just like Godzilla." Qiao Qiao pretended to see it for the first time, showing a panic expression.
Secretly suppress the mutant vines that are ready to move. Mutated creatures have a strong sense of territory.
If there are two mutant creatures in the same area, they will definitely fight to the death.
Qiao Man sensed the presence of the mutated giant-toothed goldfish, and the powerful aura of the growing period made Qiao Man a little uneasy.
"No matter what, I have to accept this mission just for the reward given by the system."
Tang Mingli has only obtained two R-level cards since the day he obtained the card drawing system. Even so, he is still in the middle position in the Special Management Bureau. This shows how deep the card pool is.
If others are already satisfied, she has a strong sense of crisis.
Since there is a beta system, the official server will appear sooner or later. She must become stronger and master more abilities before everyone else does in order to survive the doomsday.
Even if the final reward is only an R-level card pool drawing ticket, it is still worth it.
Risks and opportunities coexist, and she doesn't believe that the three of them together cannot complete a C-level mission.
Tang Zhijie had the same idea.
Compared to R-level card and SR-level card drawing tickets, Qiao Qiao is very interested in non-level card upgrade cards.
SSR-level cards are in short supply, and in the dream, only one person has owned it for so many years, directly surpassing the federation.
I can’t draw an SSR-level card. If I use an upgrade card based on an SR-level card, I don’t know if it will be successful.
Qiao Qiao was determined to capture the mutant animal.
Perhaps, this is her only chance to get an SSR-level card.
After receiving the system task but not seeing the target to attack, the three dared not let down their guard at all.
Qiao Qiao looked around and accidentally discovered that the big tree where the child was hiding was a little crooked.
The strange thing is that the trunk is straight, but the whole tree is leaning towards the east, a bit like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and it doesn't look like it was caused by natural growth.
"Let's go to the roof of the house first. It's too difficult to fight fish in the water." Tang Zhijie said after observing the surrounding environment.
"good."
After all, Tang Zhijie is a boy who exercises regularly, and Tang Mingli is a policeman. This kind of climbing activity has been professionally trained.
With quick and agile movements, he climbed onto the roof in the blink of an eye.
For Qiao Qiao, climbing up the roof was an unfamiliar thing, especially since there was no foothold in the water and she could only rely on her arm strength, so she fell behind the Tang brothers and sisters.
"Come." Tang Mingli went up first, bent down and stretched out his hand to pull Qiao Qiao up.
Qiao Qiao stretched out his hand, preparing to use the momentum to move up, when the hairs on his neck stood up.
Tang Mingli saw a green shadow flash by, and it was Qiao Man leaving from his wrist.
"Bang!"
There was a collision underwater, with splashes of water reaching several meters high.
Qiao Qiao was startled and subconsciously let go and fell into the water, swaying left and right due to the splashing water.
[Special lifebuoy: After use, you can float on the water regardless of any waves. It can be used for 2 hours a day, and the cooling time is 22 hours]
If it weren't for the special life buoy, I would have been drowned in the water.
"Be careful!" Tang Zhijie and Tang Huizhou could not see the situation underwater on the roof and were very worried about her safety.
"It's okay." Qiao Qiao took out an underwater goggles from the system grid, took a deep breath, dived out of the lifebuoy, and held it tightly in his hand.
There is chaos underwater, and the battle between Qiao Man and the mutated giant-toothed goldfish has begun.
The mutated megalodon goldfish does not look like a goldfish at all. It is huge in size, comparable to a shark.
The darkness could not conceal the sharpness of its huge teeth. The sharp silver light of the teeth was clearly visible in the water. Every opening and closing of the teeth was accompanied by a violent surge of water.
Just now, the mutant goldfish almost swallowed Qiao Qiao directly from the water. Fortunately, the mutant vine noticed it in advance and restored its original form to resist its huge teeth.
The goldfish's already big eyes are now even more terrifying. The two eyes are particularly conspicuous underwater like huge light bulbs. I can't help but feel nervous when it stares at me.
Qiao Man's body suddenly grew from 10 centimeters to half a meter in length, but even so, it was still not enough in front of the five or six meter long mutant giant-toothed goldfish.
A huge hole was bitten by the giant teeth on his body, and green liquid kept flowing out, merging with the water.
The juvenile and growth stages are indeed different. The needle attacks of the juvenile cactus could not leave any marks on Qiao Man's body, but the mutant fish in the growth stage could actually break through the defense directly.
Fortunately, it was small and fast enough to hold the mutant goldfish in a short time. But I couldn't continue, I had to find a way to help.
While observing the terrain, Qiao Qiao recalled the items in the system grid, looking for a way to restrain the mutant goldfish.
The tree that the two children were hiding from was not only tall, but also had an extremely thick trunk. It took at least four or five people to hug it together.
As for why it is tilting, the reason has been found!
There is a huge gap at the bottom of the trunk, which seems to have been formed by repeated impacts from something sharp. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be caused by a mutated giant-toothed goldfish.
Maybe she should rethink that the "dong dong dong" sound she heard before was not caused by a child knocking to attract other people's attention, but was caused by a mutant goldfish wanting to eat humans.
Jojo surfaced for air.
"How is it? Come up first." Seeing Qiao Qiao coming up, Tang Mingli said worriedly.
Qiao Qiao briefly explained the situation of the mutated giant-toothed goldfish.
"Then a mutant plant appeared out of nowhere and started fighting with it. Although it was at a disadvantage, it did not attack me. Perhaps it can help us kill the mutant animal."
Tang Mingli and Tang Zhijie looked at each other. They had been thinking about plans just now, but the risks were very high. The most important reason was that they did not have suitable weapons.
"I'll go down to help you, brother. You stay up there and handle the situation as you please. If there's any accident, you can come to our rescue at any time." Tang Mingli thought for a moment, took out his goggles and jumped into the water.
"Be careful of your safety. If it really doesn't work, give up this mission and retreat at any time." Tang Zhijie took out a blue card.
There are two ordinary hemp ropes drawn on the card. After using it, two ropes will appear. "Tie them around your waists. If anything goes wrong, pull hard and I will pull you up."
[R-level rescue rope: can resist attacks below SR-level cards or mature mutant creatures, maximum range 500 meters]
Qiao Qiao silently took the rope and tied it around her waist. "Thank you."
Time was running out, and they didn't have time to put on the R-class diving suits they had obtained earlier, so she took them out and threw them to Tang Zhijie. "Just in case."
[R-level diving suit: can dive to 300 meters underwater, including mask, wet suit, fins, diving boots and hood]
He also took out two small and lightweight oxygen cylinders. Although they could only be used for half an hour, they should be enough.
"Thank you." Tang Mingli was not polite. In special times, any piece of equipment could save lives.
The two of them got ready and dived underwater.
Qiao Man knew that she didn't have the strength to fight this big fish head-on, so she adopted guerrilla tactics to fight it in a roundabout way. This was the knowledge she learned from watching war movies with Qiao Xinghe.
The mutant vine's flexible body constantly dodges the mutant goldfish's giant teeth attacks, and occasionally hits it. Although it is not fatal, it can still cause it to feel pain.
Although the mutant goldfish's attack is powerful, its means are too simple. Currently, it can only use its huge teeth to bite the target.
The mutant vines played with it in circles, and it was in a stalemate for a while.
But Qiao Qiao knew that this was only temporary. Whether it was the physical problems of several people or the liquid constantly flowing from Qiao Man's body, it all indicated that a protracted battle was impossible.
Qiao Qiao took out a nail gun, but the mutant goldfish was too big, so he could just shoot without aiming.
“Swoosh—pop.”
The nails were concentrated on the mutant goldfish, but unfortunately the scales were too thick, and her attacks were like tickling without leaving even a trace.
Qiao Qiao looked calm. If an ordinary nail gun could succeed so easily, then she should be suspicious.
She took out a Tang sword, swam towards the mutant goldfish when it was seduced by Qiao Man and turned its back to her, aimed at the part where the fin was connected to the body and chopped it down hard.
The Tang Dao is specially made, and the blade is made of the hardest material that ordinary people can access, alloy steel.
“Sizzle——”
There was a harsh sound like chalk scratching on a blackboard, and Qiao Qiao couldn't help but tremble all over.
The attack worked!
Although the mutant goldfish's fin was not chopped off directly as she expected, it was successfully torn apart and blood gushed out.
After feeling the pain, the mutant goldfish rolled over wildly, stirring up chaos in the water. Qiao Qiao and Tang Mingli had to step back temporarily to avoid getting hurt.
"This won't work." Qiao Qiao was anxious and kept brainstorming for a way out.
Suddenly I saw the gap in the tree trunk and an idea came to me.
While Qiao Man was restraining the mutant goldfish, Qiao Qiao quickly swam to Tang Mingli, pointed at the tree trunk and made a gesture of collapse.
Tang Mingli understood instantly and nodded in agreement.
Qiao Man smelled blood and discovered that the mutant goldfish's fin was injured and it was repeatedly hitting the wound.
The mutant goldfish lost its mind due to the pain, and even though it didn't have much damage, it wanted to escape.
Tang Mingli took the opportunity to use a modified pistol, aiming at its huge eyes and firing continuously.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
All eight bullets hit the target!
No matter how strong the mutant animal's defense is, its eyes will always be its biggest weakness.
“Ouch!”
Along with an ear-piercing wail, a large amount of blood spurted out from his eyes, obscuring his vision.
The other side.
Tang Zhijie tied the other end of the rescue rope to a big tree. After rescuing the two children, he took out a blue card.
【R-class fishing sonar】
This is one of the two R-level cards that Tang Mingli drew. He originally thought it was useless, but now he hopes that it can interfere with the perception of the mutant fish.
After use, a small sonar appears in your hand. Press the switch and put it into the water.
A low-frequency sound wave began to propagate through the water.
The mutant giant-toothed goldfish's movements suddenly became slow, as if it was affected by the sound waves.
Although Qiao Qiao didn't know why it suddenly acted like a fool, he knew that the opportunity was not to be missed, so he and Tang Mingli acted separately.
Qiao Qiao swam up and commanded Qiao Man, signaling her to drive the mutant goldfish under a big tree, while he himself went to the wound on the fish fin.
After Qiao Man's repeated impacts, most of the fish fin had been torn apart, and only one last blow was needed.
She raised the Tang sword and chopped it down with all her strength.
