58. Big Harvest
The airship passed through one shelter after another, rescued the survivors, and then sent them to the starship.
Su Liu stayed on the airship until the commander felt she should have recovered and allowed her to land on the sea with the troops.
Under Su Liu's feet was a floating "metal plate", which was said to be made of some new material and could allow people without the ability to fly to stand on the sea for a short time.
It wasn't actually a sea underneath, but a former land city, submerged by the torrent. Countless sea beasts swam among the tall buildings below.
The troops were busy rescuing the survivors, and Su Liu was of no use in this situation.
The task assigned to her by the commander is to purify the sea beasts that she likes.
Su Liu floated on the sea with the help of a metal plate, carefully observing the nearby fish. His eyes were as burning as a homeless person who had not eaten for three days and suddenly saw a pork chop.
A nearby skyscraper was flooded to the point where only the roof remained, and a group of huge monsters were moving back and forth between the floor-to-ceiling windows and floors.
Su Liu looked through the telescope and then showed an evil smile.
She floated over and waved her emerald fan, and the huge monsters suddenly shrank before going crazy.
She cast out the net again and caught all the shrimps.
The psychic responsible for protecting her asked, "What species is this?"
"Sweet shrimp," Su Liu said, "is not only sweet and delicious, but also rich in high-quality protein and unsaturated fatty acids. It is a very precious food in the ocean."
Food?
The psychic thought that after these "foods" were infected and mutated, they must have digested countless humans as food.
Su Liu didn't think too much about it. She sent the sweet shrimps to the airship to be frozen, waiting to have a good meal after the military service was over.
Since there are indeed sweet shrimps in this sea area, it is a rare opportunity, so we might as well get more.
Su Liu set out specifically to look for sweet shrimps, and encountered some other mutated sea fish along the way, which he cleaned up and purified.
In half a day, seven or eight tons of fish and two or three tons of sweet shrimp were purified.
The commander was busy when he received a message from the warehouse: "Excuse me, is the freezer specifically used for storing sea fish?"
The commander looked at the attached information and found that several freezers were indeed about to burst.
The freezer does need to accommodate other species and cannot only freeze fish.
He contacted Su Liu again and said, "We need to consider sustainable development."
Su Liu understood: "You mean they have to be alive and handed over to the Ministry of Agriculture for breeding after returning to the Imperial Star, right? But sea fish are difficult to raise, and I'm afraid my efforts will be wasted."
The commander said, "The Empire also has many outstanding talents, so don't worry about this. Many of the marine fish you purified are not on the Imperial Star's biological map. They shouldn't just be eaten, but developed to have more value."
Su Liu didn't know how much value sea fish had besides being eaten and viewed.
But since the commander said so, let's get some fresh ones.
Afterwards, Suliu deliberately preserved the "seedlings" and tried not to destroy the "activity" of the marine fish as much as possible during the purification process, making them healthier and more active.
The commander ordered the storage warehouse to set aside several sealed warehouses, fill them with seawater and use them to raise marine fish.
Su Liu brought back a batch of sea fish and dumped them into the warehouse, then purified the warehouse again to prevent the microorganisms from mutating.
Throughout the day, the combat troops rescued countless survivors, and the airship's warehouses were filled to the brim with Su Liu's sea fish.
The commander also contacted the starship and asked them to free up several large storage rooms to reserve space for Su Liu's sea fish.
When the airship can no longer hold the cargo, they will return to the starship, unload the sea fish, and then continue to return to rescue the survivors.
After purifying countless species in succession, Su Liu finally felt a little tired.
She drank two bottles of energy and waited in the command room to go to the next location.
The airship is drifting on the sea surface to receive energy, waiting for deployment from the starship command center.
The commander got a moment's rest and asked Su Liu, "Are you an F-class esper? After confirming your level, have you ever used crystal cores to enhance your abilities?"
Su Liu nodded. "I've explored the infected area twice and absorbed the appropriate crystal cores, but I didn't feel much."
"Were there any retests of ability levels after that?"
"No." Su Liu also went to see the department head, who said that she had only absorbed a little bit of the crystal core, which had little effect and did not need to be tested for the time being.
The commander pondered, "This is truly an interesting phenomenon."
Suddenly, a row of red characters appeared on the big screen and flashed wildly, and at the same time, alarms sounded throughout the airship.
"Alarm, alarm, a high-energy signal detected at ten o'clock. Distance to the airship: 1,200 meters, 1,100 meters, 1,000 meters..."
The shrill alarm bells kept blaring, and everyone on the airship was on high alert.
The big screen has captured the scene in the ocean. A huge wave is surging, as if it can destroy the world, and countless long sea beasts are hidden in it.
They are like the dragons in the movies that can summon wind and rain, their eyes are surprisingly bright in the sea water, and their huge bodies can easily smash cruise ships to pieces.
The commander stared at the screen closely. "A sea snake?"
Su Liu was also frowning and thinking carefully.
There are currently more than 5,000 recorded species of sea snakes on all major planets. They evolved from the sea snakes on Earth in the past, and gave rise to more races and expanded the population.
The strange beasts now approaching the airship have mutated to such an extent that their species cannot be easily identified from their appearance.
Seeing that Su Liu had no idea what to do, the commander ordered: "Attack and kill!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several gun barrels of the airship turned around and launched a crazy bombardment at the oncoming surging waves.
For a moment, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the only sound between the sky and the sea was the roar of artillery fire.
These artillery pieces are not real technological cannons, but are controlled by people with special abilities. They use turrets to enhance their abilities and fire special energy cannons that have unexpected effects on sea beasts.
After one group of psychics became exhausted, another group immediately replaced them and continued to fight against the sea beasts.
Despite the size of the heavy airship, it was so small under the layers of sea beasts that it looked like a small boat, swaying in the vast ocean.
Half an hour later, the sea beasts showed no signs of disappearing. Instead, their numbers increased and they completely surrounded the airship.
They also know how to fight in coordination. The sea beasts in front form a wall of flesh to block the artillery fire, and then the ones in the back find the right time to launch a sneak attack.
No matter how dense the airship's shells were, they could not stop the successive attacks of these mutated sea snakes.
After suffering a series of collisions, the airship suffered damage in multiple areas and the artificial intelligence frantically sounded the alarm.
Fortunately, the energy injection was finally completed at this time, and the psychics fought for a way to survive, allowing the airship to take off and land on land.
A sea snake was caught and brought into the cabin. Su Liu took the opportunity to purify it in sections and roughly determine its species.
The airship docked on the ice on the land, and the tired psychics relaxed briefly.
However, Su Liu's expression changed drastically: "Yellow-lipped blue-spotted sea snakes! They can walk on land, don't dock!"
