Today was the ninth day, and there was still one day left before the ten-day appointment with Wang Shuzhu, so he was not in a hurry and decided to visit the coastline of Baotong District.
The doomsday ocean is more dangerous than the continent!
For humans, the dangers on land mainly come from zombies; while the dangers in the ocean come from various evolved beasts!
Before the end of the world, someone calculated that the number of types of marine life was four times that of land, and the number of living things was eighty times.
After the apocalypse, everything is changing in unpredictable directions, the known plus the unknown... I can't imagine it!
The creatures and evolved beasts in the ocean are not only diverse and huge in number, but some of them are so powerful that every beast is forbidden!
In the fifth year of the end of the previous life, the entire coastline of Blue Star was declared occupied and became a breeding and landing place for marine evolutionary beasts.
In the eighth year of the end of the previous life, Doctor Octopus reached the peak of his combat power and became the strongest person on Blue Star!
He didn't have the chance in his previous life, but now he wanted to see what the so-called marine evolutionary beast looked like.
…
"Whoosh!"
When Lin Mu came to the beach, it happened to be sunrise.
Lying on the rocks, I saw from a distance a scorching sun slowly rising from the sea level, and the morning light broke.
The doomsday high tide came extremely early, and the sound of roaring waves could be heard in the ears. The salty and wet smell in the air was surprisingly strong, which was not suitable for Lin Mu, a sea observer with keen senses.
"Chirp!" Suddenly, a noisy and sharp bird song came from the horizon. The sound got closer and closer until it hovered back and forth above Lin Mu's head.
The tentacles moved slightly, and he knew that he was being eaten by a group of bird-evolved beasts.
The first-level evolved beast looks a bit like a seagull. It is very large, with a wingspan of nearly two meters, which is twice the size of an unevolved seagull.
The early bird catches the worm...be bold!
An eager bird soon entered his alert range.
"Hoo!" It rushed down with the fierce wind, and its sharp beak like steel pierced down hard.
Seeing the right moment, Lin Mu slowly raised his forelimbs... This poor seagull evolved beast had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.
"Plop-plop!!"
The moment the two came into contact, the seagull's beak shattered, and the whole bird shot into the sea like a cannonball, leaving a few stray feathers behind.
"Chirp chirp...burp!"
The seriously injured seagull fluttered several times, but in the end it did not fly again and died.
It is well known that birds, low-intelligence creatures, do not have the ability to empathize.
Even if they become first-level evolved beasts, the little intelligence they are born with is not enough to make them aware of the potential crisis of the death of their kind.
They only knew that Lin Mu’s dish was still there and it was their turn!
"Chirp, chirp...!" The seagull evolved beasts rushed down one after another, and then each one lost its beak in pain and returned to the sea.
Alas, sometimes being too handsome is also a worry.
After a few minutes, the world became clear, and the only sound in my ears was the healing sound of the waves.
But there was a pile of bird carcasses floating on the sea in front of them. There were more than two hundred of them by visual inspection, drifting with the ebb and flow of the tide, which somewhat disfigured the scenery.
So boring, is this the so-called marine evolutionary beast? Too bad...oh, no.
The real marine evolved beasts haven't shown up yet, the ones underwater are the big ones, but the tide has just risen at this point, so I don't know if any of them are coming.
As if in response to Lin Mu's wish, a group of uninvited guests came down from the water and dragged the seagull corpses underwater one by one.
Huh!
The sensing capabilities of the tentacles were fully activated, but most of them were isolated by the water surface. Lin Mu could only sense a group of half-meter-long strange fish less than five meters below the surface of the water.
It has a green face and fangs, a scruffy appearance, and the pelvic fins under its body turn into two "claws"? ?
Trailing behind him was a fish tail similar to the tail of a manta ray. It was thin and long, disproportionate to the body in front.
The snaketail fish is the pioneer in the evolution of marine life. It is a mystery what fish it evolved from. They like to move in groups. Relying on that steel whip-like fish tail, they have almost no opponents before the third level, and they can be called the overlord of the offshore area.
Why is this thing? Lin Mu was a little disappointed.
There were many varieties of marine evolutionary beasts in the previous life, but he had only seen one, the snake-tailed fish now.
Compared with snake-tailed fish, he wanted to see some species that could come ashore. There were not many marine evolved beasts that could come ashore at this time, only two or three species. It seemed that his luck was not good enough after all.
Or should we withdraw?
Suddenly, Lin Mu caught a faint sound of fighting in the sea breeze. It seemed that someone was firing from a far distance.
Fire... firearms!
He suddenly became interested, abandoned the snaketail fish that was eating, and followed the sound to find it.
The sound was propagated by the sea breeze, and the actual location was quite far away from Lin Mu, actually on the beach nearly ten kilometers away.
Lin Mu was a little surprised.
This is an estuary where a river flows into the sea, and a modern port is located on the seaside.
After climbing over the high wall and entering the port, Lin Mu saw that the place was densely packed with squirming and crawling amphibian evolved beasts.
The varieties are mainly crabs and starfish, with some strange coelenterates jumping around on the concrete floor...
The first thing that surprised Lin Mu was that, without exception, these creatures were all first-level evolved beasts!
You must know that the number of evolved beasts of land creatures is still very small, and it is difficult to appear in groups.
But marine life is different. The base is so huge that it is unimaginable. Even if the success rate of evolution is much lower than that of land life, the number of evolved beasts finally born is far beyond that of land life.
In fact, some clues about this can be seen from the Seagull Evolution Beast just now.
The second thing that surprised Lin Mu was that those who fought against these evolved beasts were soldiers from Nandu Base!
He had seen their standard combat uniforms and cut many of them with his own hands.
How come people from Nandu Base appear here? Baotong District and Beihu District are separated by two districts, which are quite far apart.
Could it be that the headquarters of Nandu Base is not in Beihu District, but here?
Lin Mu's curiosity aroused, so he mingled among various sea animals and quietly observed.
Because he is going to Beihu District to find Wang Shuzhu next. If this is really the base camp of Nandu Base, it will save trouble.
…
In this port defense battle, only a very small number of soldiers at the Nandu base used firearms, and even those used were range attack firearms such as shotguns and flamethrowers.
More often, cold weapons are used, such as knives, sticks, axes, hammers...
"Duang!" Lin Mu saw a tall warrior holding a large black hammer, and when he hammered it down, a seafood cake was smashed into a mess, but the efficiency was low.
"Whoosh! Whoosh..." In contrast, the other swordsman looked much more elegant. He picked out some evolved beasts without hard shells, cut them into two with a sword, and then walked away. .
"Crack!" Not all soldiers were so fierce. He saw a young man with thin arms and legs surrounded by a group of crabs. The iron rod in his hand was dancing in an unorganized manner. In the end, he could not escape the end of being licked all over his body... …The ants kill the elephant.
The ratio of battle losses was exaggerated. Often, hundreds to three thousand marine evolutionary beasts would die before a single human soldier would be killed.
But the marine evolved beasts are not afraid of death - there are only so many of them now because the landing area of the port is only so large. If one dies, another one will climb up from the sea immediately, and there will be a steady stream.
"Damn..."
"There is a gap in Warehouse No. 1, Team No. 3 goes to help defend!"
"Damn it, why are there all crabs over there!? Call Hammer over there, what's the use of asking me to show off with a sword?"
"Tie Hammer was called to the dock just now. Instructor Lin is a little unable to hold on."
"...I need ten shotguns and a flamethrower!"
"No flamethrower, only two shotguns."
"Then you should keep your hammer!"
"It's useless to tell me. You can tell Instructor Lin."
"..."
Lin Mu tried his best to avoid the places where soldiers fought and gathered the information he wanted by making insinuations.
It's a pity that the soldiers are busy defending, and there are only a few chattering. After asking for a long time, I still don't know whether Wang Shuzhu is here...
At the pier, a young man covered in ice looked solemnly. Opposite him lay three sea beasts as big as Tibetan mastiffs.
A crab, a starfish, and an octopus... they are all level two evolved beasts!
"What do you want?" The iceman young man said in a serious tone, speaking directly to the octopus.
The ant that used flames to write and communicate had already surprised him, but the octopus in front of him was even more powerful... communicating with thoughts!
"Food..." A somewhat vague thought was directly transmitted into Iceman's mind.
Compared with Lin Mu, this octopus's intelligence is much immature and can only rely on some simple words to express its meaning.
The Iceman youth frowned: "There is no food here, please retreat quickly!"
This sea monster attack was obviously led by this octopus. As long as the octopus is willing to retreat, this crisis can be easily resolved.
Octopus: "You lied, big box, food..."
The Iceman young man rubbed his head. He knew that the big boxes Octopus was talking about were the warehouses at the port, and there was indeed a lot of dried meat in them.
But this is one of the few meat granaries in the Nandu base, and it cannot be exposed to these marine creatures.
Why hasn't the support from the base headquarters arrived yet? Do you not want to eat meat anymore?
"Those who belong to us humans, please leave!" The iceman young man's cold air condensed on his body, and a touch of ice edge formed in his hand, ready to go.
"Humans are also food..." the octopus sent his thoughts.
"Hmph!" The ice man young man snorted coldly, and without hesitation, the ice edge in his hand flew directly towards the octopus at the front.
"Dang!" However, a big, black crab claw suddenly blocked the octopus, and the ice edge shattered with a sound, but it had no effect.
"Human... food!" Octopus once again sent an ambiguous thought, and then broke the link between Yu Bingren's thoughts.
The crab raised two ferocious giant claws, shining coldly in the early morning sun.
The starfish stood upright, with countless pink suckers and black mouthparts on its abdomen facing the iceman youth - if it could find a chance to take a bite, would it be an iceman? No, that's human ice cream!
The war was about to break out, and the Iceman youth frowned. Everyone was at the second level, and he was somewhat unable to fight against three of them alone.
Especially the Crab Evolved Beast, with its carapace banging hard, it was too restrained by his Ice Edge, and it couldn't be beaten at all.
"Is the hammer coming?" he shouted, turning his head.
Someone from behind shouted: "We're coming... There's a little stumbling on the road, but we should be there soon."
