But now they've met a tough opponent. He gathers his most powerful abilities and attacks Ye Shang and the other person.
Ye Shang was still disgusted by the thing he had just chopped up, which seemed to have come out of this guy's mouth.
Tsk, this really ruins my mood. My nice date has been interrupted. She flew forward, grabbed Qingying tightly, and swung her sword forward, the domineering sword energy cutting through the blond man's attack.
The sword light shattered the powerful attack he had just gathered, forcing the blond man to retreat a considerable distance. However, he managed to maintain his balance and avoid falling into the sea.
"Impossible! I am the overlord of this sea!" he roared in disbelief, the bulging veins on his face and his bulging eyes expressing his anger!
Ye Shang didn't have time to talk to him much. It was a life-or-death situation. If they couldn't win today, the fate of the ships behind them would be sinking at sea, and they would have no chance to continue.
Therefore, she didn't hold back. The light shadow sword emitted a buzzing sound, clearly sensing its master's mood.
The blond man prepared to use his last skill: escape. Whenever he encountered a powerful enemy, he would run a distance first, then turn around and fight back.
Clearly, he didn't have that chance this time. Ye Shang was extremely fast, teleporting to a short distance away from him. In the illusory image of him fleeing, he directly shot Qingying like an arrow, piercing the back of the illusory image.
A hidden phantom appeared, and his body was pierced by the light shadow sword, leaving a bloody hole in his chest that could not be healed.
The next moment, his body, which was standing on the sea surface, fell straight down, splashing water with a bang.
Soon the pool of seawater was stained with blood, but it was quickly devoured by sea creatures.
Nowadays, the marine life is mostly carnivorous, with its own kind dominating. Due to the large number of biological mutations, countless small marine creatures devoured the blond man's body in an instant, leaving not even a bone fragment behind.
With a swift movement, it returned to its master's side and stood upright in the air, seemingly imitating its master's words and actions, quietly watching the sea below.
Not far away, Qingli's eyes showed some worry. He watched Ye Shang kill that person, but he didn't feel anything. As far as he was concerned, he had seen too many dead people. Even if Ye Shang didn't make a move, he would have done it himself.
"Are you alright?" He reached out his slightly cool fingertips and hooked Ye Shang's finger.
Ye Shang turned his head and saw his expression, and said only, "I was thinking, the ocean is full of resources. Do you think that if we could research a way to cure some mild viruses, these resources could be used to feed and sustain humans?"
Qingli was relieved and then thought about her idea again, "Perhaps, when we go back, we can bring some samples. There are many PhDs in biology among the researchers at the base."
Ye Shang responded with a "Mm".
The two traveled another thousand kilometers or so, and after confirming that there were no creatures marking their territory in the vicinity, they returned.
The high-level mutated octopus monster we encountered before, along with a high-level ability user, had taken over an entire area of the nearby sea. But why didn't they fight?
Ye Shang thought that the blond man might have just been about to attack when he encountered them, and the direction he initially saw was towards the location they had passed through.
After a short while, Ye Shang returned to the ship. He went to the bridge at the bow of the ship and gave Wen Guosheng a brief overview of the situation in the sea ahead.
After hearing that there was no need to worry about the voyage that night, Wen Guosheng was able to get back to work with peace of mind.
Four days later.
The group finally arrived at their first neighboring country, L, where most of the people were also of Asian descent.
Leaving the logistics personnel behind on the ship, Song Wenwen led a team to scout ahead.
The rest of the people followed Ye Shang and Qing Li. There weren't many of them, just Liang You and his sister, and Chang Lin and Zhuo Xia from the First Base.
As soon as they got ashore, they realized something was wrong. The smoke and dust were so thick that they could hardly see anyone.
Logically, this shouldn't be the case. The port is located in a region where many cargo ships and goods need to be imported or exported, connecting ships from various countries.
But right now it's a desolate wasteland.
Ye Shang and the others continued into the city, but once again they encountered corpses scattered all over the ground, as well as bodies that had been dead for a long time but had not yet decomposed.
Ye Shang frowned slightly, took out a few masks from his spatial storage, and handed them to the group.
The smell is really strong; too many people have died from it.
After walking for about half an hour, we still hadn't encountered a single living person.
Qingli stopped, his face, though masked, still revealing his refined features: "Ah Shang, we can't keep walking like this. Let's find a place and wait for Captain Song and the others to come back before we talk about it."
Ye Shang pondered for a moment, "But, where should we go?"
Qingli surveyed the nearby buildings and found a high vantage point. "That's a good spot to avoid the smell of these corpses."
Ye Shang followed his gaze and saw that the spot was indeed suitable. "Okay, I'll take a picture and send it to Song Wenuan so she can come over later."
As he spoke, he raised his wrist and snapped a few photos, sending them to Song Wenwen's personal computer. She only replied with an "OK" gesture, indicating that she understood.
They passed by this building when they went out, so they knew where it was. Song Wenwen shared the view of the building from her personal terminal to the team group: Team Leader Ye and the others are here. After you've finished investigating, go here.
The teammates all replied: Got it!
After Ye Shang and his group reached the highest point, they looked down at the scene below.
This Chinese server has clearly been almost completely ruined.
About two hours later, the scouts returned.
Song Wenwen arrived first: "Team Leader Ye, our group used our special abilities to go to many places, but unfortunately we didn't see any living people."
She carefully examined each city she visited, but found no signs of life.
Ye Shang: "Okay, we'll leave once the rest of the team members return."
Song Wenwen agreed and stood to one side. She flew over several cities at lightning speed. The place was not big, and the cities were not far apart. The group split up and acted for more than two hours, and they were able to explore almost all the cities.
The fact that there wasn't a single living person left along the way is essentially equivalent to the destruction of the country. Although it was a small country, the complete annihilation is still quite poignant.
It is estimated that there are still survivors, but they have probably all left the country.
Not long after, the remaining teammates returned and told them what they had seen.
After Ye Shang and the others understood, they returned to the ship and prepared to continue their voyage to the next country, which was not far away and would take about two or three days to reach.
The group of people who landed were all very heavy-hearted. The country was deserted, and the landscape was devastated. They couldn't imagine whether they would have ended up like these people if the base hadn't been built.
