Under the cover of night, on the vast sea, the waves surged, and a large fishing boat was sailing swiftly on the surface.
The fishing boat bobbed up and down with the waves. Several people on the bow were pulling hard on the net, which contained a huge, dead mutated otter. A specially made long knife was floating in the air, cutting into the otter's head to extract its crystal core.
"Wu Zhang, hurry up, I can't hold on any longer!" The muscular, strong man at the front, holding the net, shouted to a thin man in the middle of the group.
Wu Zhang was completely focused on manipulating the long sword and had no time to pay attention to the man. Only when the long sword finally dug out the otter's crystal core and he controlled the crystal core to fly back into his hand did he have time to glare at the man. "Old Yan, you know that digging out crystal cores is a delicate job. Why don't you do it next time!"
Yan Zhonghu snorted coldly, released the net in his hand, and let the otter's carcass sink into the water. "I awakened a power ability, so how can I dig it up? Who told you to awaken a mental ability!"
Cao Jinlong dusted off his hands, took the crystal core from Wu Zhang, and used a water sphere to clean it. "Alright, we've all been working together, and things have been fine along the way."
"snort!"
Meanwhile, Fang Ling, whom Lin Ruo had been thinking about, was also sitting on a boat, gazing absently at the ever-undulating sea.
She leaned against a muscular man, who was the team leader named Fan Shaoyong, a level 3 beast-transformation ability user.
At this moment, he was leaning back on the sofa with a look of enjoyment on his face, his hand still touching Fang Lingguang's bare thigh.
They had been on the ship for almost a month. There were more than a hundred people when they set off, but now there were only a dozen or so left. Fortunately, in addition to Fan Shaoyong, there were four other people with superpowers on the ship, which is why they were able to get this far.
Fang Ling, who was lost in thought, was suddenly patted. When she looked up, she saw Fan Shaoyong's dissatisfied look. She immediately lowered her head and snuggled closer to him. Only then was Fan Shaoyong satisfied.
She was the only woman on the ship, and therefore had some value; otherwise, she would have been eaten by these men long ago.
The thought of the taste of human flesh made Fang Ling's mouth water. She felt disgusted and repulsed by herself, yet at the same time, she longed for the taste of human flesh.
She lowered her head, her eyes slightly moist. The apocalypse had only lasted a year and seven months, and now she could only live like a demon, ugly and filthy.
There were a few women on the ship before, who had relied on each other for survival. But when the people on the ship ran out of food, she killed them without hesitation in order to save herself, leaving them on the dining table.
And yet, with tears streaming down her face, she ate them bite by bite; she just wanted to live! She had endured so much, just to live…
While the others on the ship were still fighting the mutated beasts that were attacking from underwater, there was a man standing at the bow of the ship, looking into the distance with binoculars. This man was a level 2 space-type ability user named Wang Yixing.
Suddenly, he excitedly pointed to the towering mountains ahead, "Captain! Look! That's the Yanshan Mountains! I can see the base up there, we've arrived!"
Fan Shaoyong pushed Fang Ling aside, quickly stood up, walked a few steps to the bow of the ship, snatched the binoculars from Wang Yixing's hand, and checked the situation in the distance. He could see a large area of buildings on the main peak in the distance, which must be the B City base!
The other survivors on board, who were in charge of steering the boat, cheered happily; they had finally arrived!
They really arrived!
"Quick! Get to shore!"
Their boat sped towards Yanshan. Fang Ling climbed up from the deck and looked at the place she had been longing for. Tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her sunburnt, peeling cheeks. A stinging pain shot through her, but she seemed oblivious to it, gazing intently at the mountain.
She finally arrived, but she didn't know what her life would be like afterward.
The ship was moving very fast, but there were also many mutated sea beasts near Yanshan. When the mutated sea beasts saw the ship coming, they naturally wouldn't let it go and swam towards the ship.
"Captain, there's a sea monster!"
"Faster! Faster!"
All the superhumans on the ship attacked the sea monsters that kept swimming towards them, trying to slow them down. However, at sea, the other superhumans were at a disadvantage and were struggling. Only Cao Jinlong, who was a water-type, was able to attack most effectively.
He was now a Level 2 ability user. Blue light flashed in his eyes, and a network of water quickly formed beneath the ship, holding back the mutated sea beasts that were relentlessly pursuing them. At the same time, he said to the person steering the ship, "Hurry! I can't hold them off for long!"
The ship's speed increased again, and fortunately they were not far from Yanshan. The two minutes that the water-based ability user had given them were enough for them to distance themselves from the sea monsters.
Just as they were about to reach the foot of Yanshan Mountain, several mutated sea fish suddenly leaped out of the water and attacked them.
Fan Shaoyong quickly used his superpower. His arms instantly transformed into beasts, covered with layers of scales, and his fingernails were sharp and pointed. He stood at the bow of the ship and hurled the beasts at the several huge mutated sea beasts. The sea beasts collided with Fan Shaoyong's sharp fingernails, and sparks flew from their hard fish scales.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
A series of impacts shook their ship violently, but the sea monsters were also thrown back into the water.
The boat quickly slid through the water, leaving a trail of splashes, and reached the foot of the Yanshan Mountains.
"Get off the boat quickly!"
Before the ship had even come to a complete stop, the enormous mutated sea beast had already caught up with them. The people on board quickly jumped onto solid ground and ran towards the mountains and forests.
Fang Ling was dragged off the boat by Fan Shaoyong, and they scrambled off the boat as fast as they could. After they had run a few hundred meters away, they turned back to look at the boat, which had been completely shredded by several long legs. Judging from the shape, it looked like a giant octopus. Luckily, they had run fast.
