Chapter 87 Reappearance of Civilization
Bang--
Sparks flew from the muzzle as the large-caliber sniper bullet spun out and disappeared into the mutated fish's eye after its flight. The powerful impact blasted a small crater into the fish's eye.
"It didn't penetrate." Wei Yanqing pointed out.
The fish's eye was hit, causing the mutated fish to feel pain and stop its sucking motion.
Bang!
Another shot hit the small crater created earlier, blasting out an even larger one.
The mutated fish shook its head, and Rong Yi frowned deeply.
"Wei Yanqing, don't let it move." The tone was extremely calm, even cold.
He could already sense that familiar killing intent emanating from Rong Yi, but thankfully he didn't point a gun at him.
"It can only last a little over a second."
After saying that, the mutated fish, which was about to shake its body, stopped in mid-air, and Rong Yi seized the opportunity.
Bang bang bang!
Several shots were fired in quick succession within a second, and a pale blue liquid flowed out of the crater created by the fisheye blast.
"It's been breached."
Upon hearing this answer, Rong Yi didn't look at his teammates, released the sniper rifle, ran a few steps, and jumped off the roof.
Wei Yanqing's face was deathly pale, but he still managed to squeeze out some of his power to control the earth to erect a wall of earth as tall as himself in front of the mutated fish, giving the people who were trying to escape a chance.
After landing, Rong Yi ran wildly, and the height of more than ten floors was no problem for her.
In less than three minutes, she swept past the fleeing crowd and headed straight for the mutated fish.
The mutated fish with the eye injury seemed to be extremely sensitive to pain, whereas she had thought that fish had extremely dull pain receptors.
As Rong Yi approached, the mutated fish immediately locked onto her.
As a level six mutated creature, it possesses certain instincts, such as finding the creature that strikes it hard.
Someone approached the mutated fish, and the base personnel stopped firing the cannons. The person who gave this order was Hao Jun, who had received Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing yesterday.
The mutated fish opened its huge mouth and aimed it at her, the powerful suction causing Rong Yi's body to move forward involuntarily.
After holding out for a few seconds, the mutated fish straightened up and shoved its huge mouth at her.
Countless sharp teeth filled the field of vision, and darkness enveloped the entire body.
Everyone was stunned for a moment when they saw Rong Yi being swallowed by the mutated fish, then immediately ordered the bombardment to continue.
Tank shells are the safest option right now. Missiles exist, but they require satellite radar to function; otherwise, hitting the wrong spot could be disastrous. The observatory is currently unmanned, and the planet's magnetic field seems to be malfunctioning. It can only connect to old satellites, barely establishing a local network.
All available firearms in the base were aimed at the mutated fish.
Not long after the fight, the mutated fish stopped sliding and began to writhe wildly.
Then the fish's head flew high into the air and slammed into the ground, but the pain inside its body did not subside until a certain moment when the mutated fish collapsed limply.
Soon, there was movement in its injured eye, and a person crawled out, its body soaked in a pale blue liquid.
It wasn't just the base troops fighting the mutated fish; players who hadn't originally gone out were also amazed when they saw a person crawling out of the fish's eye.
"Damn, the woman who got eaten?"
"It seems so, the body shape is very similar."
"It must be her, the player. The one who was just eaten was the player."
The way players recognize their own kind is simply by taking a look.
The players and the base forces stopped attacking at the same time, but although the enemy was humanoid, their chilling killing intent came straight to their heads from 200 meters away. Many of them were still gripping their guns tightly, ready to raise them at any moment.
Rong Yi was covered in the blood of the mutated fish. The pale blue blood had no fishy smell, but rather a faint fragrance.
She was still holding the mutated fish's brain tissue in her hands.
Dropping the meat in his hand, Rong Yi jumped off the fish's head and grinned menacingly at the people at the base.
"Go to sleep."
A familiar, gentle voice suddenly appeared in his mind, and a cool sensation swept over his entire body. Rong Yi was instantly overwhelmed with exhaustion, his consciousness like a computer that had been shut down. He closed his eyes and lay down.

"Her bloodline is interesting; we need to lure her to the temporary testing site in the next instance."
"Her personality is a bit difficult to deal with."
"Which one of those we've chosen has a good personality?"
"Okay, it's a pity that the back door I opened for her couldn't be used."
"Test her bloodline; if it's good, find a way to get her out of Obsidian City."
who?
Such despicable schemes are being plotted right next to her, and it all sounds like they're talking about her.
Wei Yanqing sat by Rong Yi's bedside, watching her furrow her brows and occasionally move her head. Finally, she became extremely impatient and waved her hand. He dodged in time and almost got hit in the face.
He swung his hand but missed the person, hitting the edge of the bed instead. The slight pain made Rong Yi open his eyes.
"Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Rong Yi opened his eyes and stared blankly for a moment, "There are always treacherous subjects trying to harm me."
Wei Yanqing dismissed her as not being fully awake, saying, "The troublemaker is dead, and I've kept him safe."
Rong Yi killed the enormous mutated fish, and of course he wouldn't leave it for the people in this base. He used his mental power to collect the mutated fish's corpse from afar.
Rong Yi slowly realized that what he had just dreamed was a dream, turned over and continued to stare blankly like a salted fish.
After a long while, he asked, "Where's my fish?"
"Didn't I tell you, I'll keep it safe?" Wei Yanqing said. "It's a pity there's no encyclopedia of new animals, so I don't know what kind of fish it is."
"We have an identification device."
The detector cannot display all the effects, but knowing the general outline is sufficient.
"I'll check it out later. You were really something this time, diving right into the fish's mouth. If you weren't tied to a teammate, I wouldn't even know if you were still alive."
“I didn’t drill through it,” Rong Yi corrected his misuse of words. “It ate me, so I opened the passage from the fish’s mouth to its eye.”
Actually, she didn't remember much about what happened in the fish's mouth. That memory was veiled, and there weren't many images unless she tried to recall it carefully.
"However, it's sticky on the outside, but very fragrant on the inside."
The aroma made her feel as if she had taken a bite of raw meat. Rong Yi wasn't quite sure, so he turned over and continued to recall.
"I don't know if it smells good or not. You were unconscious for a day. The Fuhai District base suffered serious damage. There was a mutation in the sea, and a large number of marine creatures crawled ashore. The mutated fish that crawled to the vicinity of the base entrance was one of them, and there were even more on the coast."
Rong Yi immediately turned around, "Could it be that only a few people are left who died?" She remembered that less than a hundred people had escaped to the base gate.
Wei Yanqing shook his head. "Of course not. The crowd was scattered, and the group we saw found a chance to run back to the base. There was a mutated fish that could move on land, and it followed them all the way to the base."
Rong Yi: "No way, are all the animals from the sea going to come ashore from now on?"
The land is so small compared to the ocean; if everyone came up there, how would we survive?
"No, marine life can come ashore, but only for a limited time. They have to go back to the sea after three to five hours at most, otherwise they will still suffocate."
Upon hearing this answer, Rong Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought that in less than two months, I would be facing hellish difficulty."
"It's not hell yet, but it's coming soon, at least for coastal cities."
The three to five hours it takes to get ashore is enough time for those marine creatures to wreak havoc in the coastal city. If that mutated fish hadn't been stopped, it's hard to say whether the city walls of the Fuhai District base could have been saved.
