Beams of light swept across the tilted and cracked cube-shaped buildings, their metal exteriors, riddled with honeycomb-like rust holes, reflecting a deathly halo under the intense light.
Just as the spot of light swept across a huge shadow deep within the outer wall—
Xi Xi's eyes narrowed, and she quickly tapped her finger. The field of view of the light screen camera instantly zoomed in and magnified, locking onto the shadowy area of the bottom exterior wall of the tilted cube building.
Hundreds of bizarrely shaped creatures clung tightly to the smooth wall surface.
They are a lifeless lead gray color, with a streamlined spindle-shaped body, a flat head, no eyes, and only a ring-shaped mouthpart that is constantly wriggling and filled with tiny, sharp metal spiral teeth!

The mutated fish collapsed one after another amidst their mournful cries.
The diving suits spun by Cheng's mother and Xi's mother had been improved and upgraded during this period, and everyone was now wearing them. Working in pairs, they quickly cleaned up the surrounding silica-eating fish.
Just as Xi Xi took a brief breath, she heard Liu Yunyan scream.
