Chapter 73 Navy Avenue
The highway leading directly to the naval military base is built on the sea, with tall and sturdy guardrails on both sides and tidal detection devices installed on both sides.
This road starts from a suburban ramp and would take more than several hours to drive even if there were no obstructions on the road, which is equivalent to the driving distance between two relatively close cities.
Navy Avenue is the name of the road that leads directly to the Sky Blue City Navy Military Base. When Hua Yang drove onto this avenue, she was greeted by a faint smell of seawater and a rich water energy.
The water vapor in the air seemed to have some weak energy that lingered around Hua Yang. Hua Yang tried to absorb it, but to no avail. There was such a huge amount of water energy around her, but she couldn't absorb it for her own use, which made her sigh with regret.
Suddenly, the guardrails on both sides of the avenue made an unpleasant and harsh friction sound, which disappeared in an instant. Hua Yang quickly looked towards the place where the sound came from. Except for the occasional surge of seawater hitting the guardrails, there was nothing else.
Hua Yang stared at the guardrail where the sound originated for a long time.
The ocean, even before the apocalypse, in the peaceful times when technology was so advanced, no one could detect even one ten-thousandth of the entire ocean. After the apocalypse, the ocean is not only mysterious, but also a nightmare for humans that is more terrifying than zombies.
Hua Yang's eyelids were twitching wildly at this moment, and she had a bad feeling.
There are shallow beaches on both sides of such a road, and the water level is not deep. But the ocean is always a mysterious and magical area, and you never know what kind of danger and trouble it will bring you at any time.
At this time, Hua Jianming, Hua's father, was still driving, and Gu Xiaoyue was sitting in the passenger seat. Hua Yang suppressed her anxiety, asked her father to stop the car, and then switched seats with him. She drove. Gu Xiaoyue was still sitting in the passenger seat.
"Everyone fasten your seat belts, we must reach the Sky Blue Naval Base as quickly as possible."
Hua Yang waited for everyone to fasten their seat belts, then stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove away like an arrow from a bow, at a very fast speed. Feeling the weightlessness in the car and the scenery outside the window rapidly receding, Li Xiaoyu and Xiao Ming's faces turned pale quickly.
As men, Wu Tianqi and Meng Yi also looked unhappy, but they still endured and said nothing.
Gu Xiaoyue, a military doctor, and Hua Jianming, Hua's father who was once an instructor in the army, are the two in the best condition, but it is also a bit difficult for them to bear.
"Yangyang, there are no zombies here, so we don't have to drive so fast, right?"
Li Xiaoyu tried to suppress the discomfort in her stomach and asked her daughter to drive slower, but the physical discomfort made her rely on deep breathing to relieve the discomfort after she finished speaking a sentence. It seemed that she would vomit if she said one more word.
Hua Yang seemed not to hear what her mother said. She accelerated while looking at the guardrail behind her in the rearview mirror.
The water on both sides rose and fell, and from time to time a small wave would come out to wet the guardrails on both sides of the road. When the waves hit the guardrails for the ninth time, Hua Yang finally heard the harsh sound of metal friction again.
I saw a slender fish, which was ejected by the waves. Its slender body with a metallic luster was looming in the sea water, and it was difficult to find it without careful observation.
The sound was caused by the friction between the fish and the metal guardrail. It sounded like the noise produced by the friction between irregular metal bodies, which was very harsh and unpleasant.
"Meng, if there is any emergency later, follow my instructions!"
Fine beads of sweat began to appear on Hua Yang's forehead.
Mutated Mabu fish! Mutated Mabu fish appeared here so early.
Originally, the mahi-mahi is one of the most common fish in the ocean. It has a slender body, a pointed mouth, and a silvery white body. It is often put on people's dining tables. However, because this fish has more bones than meat, many people don't like to eat it.
The mutated mahi-mahi's body has grown from 17cm to 30-40cm, its pointed mouth has become extremely sharp, and its silvery-white scales are especially sharp and erect, which can easily tear off a large piece of human flesh.
In the previous life, this kind of fish was very common in the shallows of the sea. They often appeared in groups. When they saw people, they would attack in groups, stiffen their bodies and shoot towards people, which could instantly cause a third-level psychic to bleed to death. The most terrifying thing was that after being shot by a school of horse-step fish, their sharp and erect scales could take away most of the flesh on the body, and then take it back to feed the fish school, making their fish school stronger.
Therefore, once a mabu fish appears, there must be a school of mabu fish in the nearby sea or shallows. No human being who has been attacked by a mabu fish has survived.
"Mom, please bear with it. Dad, quickly use your gold-based abilities to reinforce the rear of the car. Quickly, reinforce it as much as you can."
Hua Yang stepped on the accelerator so fast that the car almost flew up, while paying attention to the frequency of the metal friction sound behind her.
Hua Yang drove at a speed of over 100 kilometers per hour. Every time he passed a hundred meters, he could hear the sound of Ma Bu Yu's body rubbing against the metal guardrail behind him.
"Kala-la, kaala-la."
Hua Yang did not dare to slack off at all.
She had heard of the habits of this kind of fish. Once they identified their target, they would hold on tightly and would not leave until they had killed their prey. Obviously, they appeared on such an empty military avenue, which made them the target of these hungry Ma Bu fish.
"Yangyang, what's going on?"
"Yes, my dear aunt, please take it easy. This is a car, not a plane. You are about to take off!"
"It's a school of mutant mahi-mahi."
Hua Yang concentrated on driving, gave a brief answer, and then continued to calculate the frequency of the sound made by the rubbing of the mahi-mahi behind her against the guardrail.
"It's just a school of fish, right? Why are you running? Catch them and have them for dinner later."
As soon as Meng Yi finished his disapproving words, the mahi-mahi behind the guardrail suddenly jumped up three or four meters with the waves. The slender body of the fish, which was shining silver, and the sharp light on its sharp mouth made the people who were looking back shudder. Meng Yi was also frightened by this scene and shut up obediently.
The more than 30-centimeter-long mahi-mahi reflected a dangerous silver light in the sun.
Hua Yang frowned and explained: "Everyone has heard of army ants, right?"
"Well, when an ant colony passes by, nothing is left. There was a news report before, saying that a group of scientists went to explore the desert to study ant colonies and encountered army ants. In order to preserve the data in their hands, they used all the special potion to disperse the army ants on the data, but they were eaten by the colony, leaving only bones. It was a long time later that they were discovered by later explorers and brought back to China."
Wu Tianqi is a doctor. When he was in college, he followed a professor to study formic acid in drug development. Although it was just a theoretical experiment class, he had done some in-depth research on various ants.
Hua Yang was very satisfied with Wu Tianqi's explanation, so she added: "Yes, army ants are social creatures. When attacking prey, they often spontaneously roll into an ant ball. When the ant ball sticks to the prey, it will instantly eat away the flesh and blood of the prey, leaving only bones."
"And these mullets are also social creatures. When they attack their prey, they will spontaneously gather into a ball, and then a group of fish will shoot towards their prey. After each mullet's sharp beak shoots into the prey's body, the originally erected fish scales will cut the flesh it touches inside the body, and then retract the originally open silver scales, and gather the flesh into their scales like a knife scraping bones, absorbing the prey's blood, and finally bringing the meat back to their companions."
"After the prey is attacked, nothing will be left except bones and some residual meat. Not even the internal organs will be left. Do you think it is similar to army ants?"
Hua Yang's words made everyone in the car feel a chill down their spines and get goose bumps instantly.
"You mean, the fish behind us regard us as prey?" Although Wu Tianqi looked calm, his slightly pale face already revealed his mood at the moment.
This road was built on the sea. Although it was a shallow beach, it was surrounded by the sea. If they were surrounded here, even if they had great abilities, they would be instantly stripped of all their flesh and blood.
Hua Yang calculated, how many people could she save by using space at the moment when everyone was attacked?
The sound of the fish rubbing against the guardrail behind him was getting closer and closer. Hua Yang stepped on the accelerator and drove at the highest speed.
Thanks to this fairy who came down to earth to cross the tribulation, Brother Ye, Brother Stu for giving Huaer a reward. As the saying goes, under a huge reward, there must be a brave Huaer, so today I will update 10,000 times to thank everyone for their rewards, recommendation tickets and monthly tickets, and also to motivate myself not to slack off, go, go! Xixi, although the article is available for reading and needs to be paid, there are still many little cuties who still support Huaer. I am really grateful, which makes me feel recognized and full of momentum. It is also hard for the raindrops, Xiaoguai, hzs59616150 and other careful friends who are helping Huaer catch insects. If there are insects, they must be corrected. Huaer also has obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Thanks again!
