There was not a single fish at the bottom of the groggy lake, only some fish bones floating in the slightly blue water from time to time. It wasn't until they dived a hundred meters into the lake that the four of them saw caves of various sizes on the stone walls at the edge of the lake.
Most of these caves are in perfect shape. They don't look like they were carved, but rather like they grew naturally. The surroundings of the cave are covered with colorful water plants, and the colors are extremely bright.
Further down these caves, the four of them discovered a huge cruise ship. The cruise ship seemed to be enough to accommodate more than a hundred people. Looking ahead, they could not see the head or tail. Judging from the shattered appearance of the cruise ship, it looked like it had been sunk by some force. And larger and larger caves appeared on the stone walls on both sides of the ship. If the caves discovered before could only be entered and exited by snakes and fish, then the caves discovered now can accommodate two or three people.
"It's strange. Even if such a large cruise ship is sunk, it can only appear in the sea. How could it appear in such a lake?" Ye Xiu observed the ship carefully, frowning slightly.
"It's so dark inside this cruise ship. It looks quite eerie!" Fang Qing said worriedly.
"Although this lake doesn't look wide, it can still accommodate more than a hundred fishing boats passing through at the same time. Moreover, the lake is connected to the sea. Don't underestimate it. Besides, there are mutated water monsters in this lake. Any accident can happen," Feiyu said.
"Why don't we go into this cruise ship and see if we can find anything?" Ye Yin said.
"Okay! I can't wait."
Pushing open the cabin door of the cruise ship, what the four of them didn't expect was that the interior of the cruise ship was not completely submerged in water. Looking around, the quiet corridor was very empty.
Just when the four people entered the cruise ship, a strange scene happened.
The water outside the warehouse door seemed to be afraid of entering the cruise ship. It only poured in slightly and then quickly shrank back!
"Weird! Although this cruise ship sank, there was no sign of being flooded?!" Ye Xiu asked doubtfully.
"Look, the walls here are just like the walls of the logistics troop dormitory. There are a lot of water droplets pouring out." Feiyu touched the green wall. A large amount of water droplets fell to the ground. Within a few seconds, they gradually seeped into the ground and disappeared.
"This may be some kind of water magic, and it may be related to the mutants we are about to encounter!" Fang Qing said.
"This magic is quite strange. The water outside can't come in, but the water drops inside keep coming out?"
"Bang bang!"
In the darkness, an upright eye looked at the four people entering the cruise ship, widening in fear. Seeing that he seemed to have attracted the attention of four people, he quickly ran away.
"Who?" Feiyu turned around, his pupils glowing white: "Are there many half-human, half-fish mutants in front of us?"
"Half man and half fish?" Fang Qing said in panic: "Are they powerful?"
"They look quite weak. They are all very ugly." Feiyu said.
"They should have discovered us too, let's move forward." Ye Yin said.
Walking through the dim corridor, the water vapor became heavier and heavier. When we arrived at the lobby of the cruise ship, there was water mist filling the air and a strange smell pungent to our nose.
The tables and chairs in this hall are a little messy, and they look like they have been accidentally knocked open by people coming and going. The dark lights in the hall flickered, making it look extremely dark.
Slowly arriving at the center of the hall, Feiyu had already drawn his weapon.
"There's someone in front of me! It's a fish man!"
"Ouch~~~"
A harsh sound came from the depths of darkness, and just when the four of them were unprepared, an octopus's tentacles flew towards Fang Qing.
"Whoosh!" As Feiyu raised his knife and dropped it, his tentacles had been cut into pieces.
"Whoever is inside, if you are brave, come out and see people!" Ye Yin shouted.
"Dong! Dong Dong! Dong Dong..."
Extremely heavy footsteps were heard continuously in front of the hall, and then, dozens of fish-headed mutants with various colored scales on their old skin walked less than ten meters away from the four people.
"Who are you? Why did you attack us for no reason?" Ye Xiu asked.
Dozens of fish heads looked at each other, as if they couldn't understand Ye Xiu's words at all. Soon, a giant octopus head measuring two meters tall squeezed out of the crowd. He waved his thick arm and shouted at the four people, and the remaining dozens of mutants rushed towards the four people.
"Can't even speak? Is this the rhythm of being attacked by mutants?" Ye Xiu said.
After mutants are hit by dark clouds, there are often two situations. One is that the main body has restrained the mutants from invading the body and can make good use of the mutants for its own use; the other is that the mutants have invaded the body and damaged various tissues and organs of the body, thus causing the main body's organs to be damaged. Does not work properly. This situation is called backlash by the mutant.
In the past, people who were attacked by mutants would suffer a rapid decline in physical and mental abilities because they could not control the invasion of mutants. Until the body becomes an empty shell and is eaten by mutants. And these mutants in front of them are obviously going this way.
Naturally, it doesn't take much effort to deal with these mutants. As the group of mutants rushed towards the four of them, Feiyu transformed into a dark red phantom and rushed into the crowd. He could only hear the crisp sound of the blade cutting through the flesh and the sound of the corpse falling to the ground. When Phantom returned to his position and Feiyu sheathed his sword, dozens of mutants fell down.
Moving forward along the interior, the four of them passed by the restaurant. The messy restaurant was even more stained with blood, but there was still red wine and red wine glasses placed neatly. It was obvious that someone was dining here on weekdays.
Going further, the scene in front of you is even more shocking. More and more severed limbs were lined up on the ground. Judging from the cross-sections, it was obvious that they had been cut off deliberately. On the walls on both sides and on the ceiling, various deformed human bodies were hung on thorns and wires.
Some of them had their ribs removed, some had their eyes gouged out, and some had their bodies pierced by huge iron nails and hung on the ceiling for display. Except for those whose bodies were penetrated, the rest seemed to be alive.
When they heard someone's footsteps, they immediately trembled and didn't dare to breathe. Some who could speak simply began to beg for mercy.
Ye Xiu came to a man who was nailed to the wall with nails all over his body, screaming for help.
"Don't be nervous! We don't mean any harm! Can you tell me who brought you here? Why are you suffering like this?" Ye Xiu asked.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!!" The man nailed to the wall shouted desperately.
"Don't get excited! Can you hear me?"
"Don't kill me! Don't!!"
The man began to plead, and large amounts of blood flowed from his hollowed eye sockets. Fang Qing and Feiyu almost vomited when they saw this scene.
"Don't ask, they all seem to have a nervous breakdown!"
"How perverted! Who did it? So many people, treated like this?"
Ye Xiu carefully observed his surroundings and found a torn notebook on the table not far away. He opened the note and read the contents carefully.
December 5th sunny
Most of the workers have been arrested and forced to do hard labor for a year. In order to make ends meet, everyone has endured the beatings and humiliation of those monsters. But there are always times when co-workers disappear inexplicably. It's so strange, everyone is so scared.
January 16 rain
It’s the New Year, but we are still doing hard work. Recently, there are fewer and fewer fish in the sea, and our food is getting worse and worse. Those monsters seem to be planning to eat people! Everyone was trying to escape together at night, but the crocodile monster accidentally overheard the discussion. The person who was discussing was taken to be cooked and killed that night! I am really scared! I really want to go home!
February 17 rain
I don’t know where they came from, but another group of people were captured here. Apparently, he was also deceived. Oh my God, coming here is like coming to hell. I wish you good luck and don't get cooked!
February 26 rain
The monsters actually started to play with body art. They inserted nails into the workers' bodies and made various strange poses. Crazy, simply insane! Heaven, save us! !
April 1st
I accidentally spilled a pot of hot water while I was working. I burned myself, and now it seems like I can't move any other parts except my right hand. I have no use to them anymore, I will probably be disposed of by them tonight. If anyone is lucky enough to see this diary. Please turn back quickly and run away!
...
"It seems that those mutants just now were just accomplices. They must have a leader! And there is more than one!" Ye Xiu put down the diary that was torn into pieces, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart: "I guess this place must be here." Before, many people were arrested. These people were forced to become hard laborers and were oppressed by the mutants. Later, they simply used those hard laborers to create performance art, and that’s why there were so many bodies that were tortured like this.”
"How cruel! This is so inhumane!" Fang Qing frowned.
"Are there any clues in the diary that can help us find those leaders?" Ye Yin asked.
"No, but I believe that this guy will definitely come back. Let's go further and see if we can find any other clues." Ye Xiu said.
"I saw a lot of strange things in front of me! Moreover, they all seemed to be quite huge!" Feiyu frowned.
"Anyway, let's see and talk!"
Going deeper along the corridor full of corpses, the four came to a huge laboratory. The laboratory is filled with potions of various strange colors and many instruments that seem to have just been used. The water bubbles inside kept popping out, triggering a lot of black gas.
"Stop hiding, I've discovered you a long time ago!! Come out!" Feiyu shouted.
