This woman was the deputy leader of this Bear Country squad, named Katerina... I didn't expect her to be so strong!
Those Neon people were also not weak, to be completely annihilated by her in one blow...
Absorbing the crystal cores of these Neon people would probably boost her strength again!
These Bear Country people were naturally not good at scheming, but they were exceptionally brave and belligerent!
They even organized competitions to hunt zombies and monsters, taking pride in becoming stronger!
As expected of a warrior nation, they seemed naturally adapted to the post-apocalyptic living environment...
Xiao Guanghan was introducing the situation to Zhang Chen, while also sighing with emotion.
As soon as he finished speaking, Katerina on the sea turned her gaze, seemingly seeing Zhang Chen as well.
She looked at Zhang Chen from afar for a while.
Then she withdrew her gaze, flashed a few times, and returned to the shore.
On the shore, a group of Bear Country men and women were already applauding to welcome the heroes returning triumphantly.
They had even set up a bonfire and were barbecuing.
Several large tables were placed on the beach, laden with large platters of meat and ham.
Beer crates were piled high on the sandy ground.
I really don't know what these guys are here for, to drink in Zhong'an City?!
Although the Neon people who stole the ship were eliminated, which was worth celebrating, didn't they have to find a new ship to cross the bay again?
What was there to celebrate about that!
Perhaps killing the Neon people wasn't the point; they just liked to find excuses to celebrate!
The group of Bear Country men and women on the shore burst into loud laughter.
"Professor Xiao, everything is ready on our side, we can depart at any time!"
The leader walked over and said.
"Mm, guard the ship well, and absolutely do not let anyone steal it!"
"We'll set up camp and rest here for now..."
Xiao Guanghan said.
"Set up camp and rest?"
The leader looked up at the sky, bewildered.
It was a clear sky, without a single cloud.
He also checked the time; it was just past noon, but there were still six or seven hours until sunset.
If they were to rest and eat now...
With any other delays, they wouldn't be able to cross the bay today.
Before coming, Professor Xiao had been urging them to hurry, but now that they were at the seaside and crossing the sea was imminent, he suddenly wasn't in a hurry anymore.
This left the leader somewhat perplexed.
Perhaps sensing the leader's thoughts, Professor Xiao said earnestly, "I know what you're thinking, but the time to cross the sea is not yet ripe!"
"The land has already become such a mess, who knows what the sea will be like?"
"Whether the sea is safe or if there are monsters, we can't say for sure!"
"Moreover, we don't know how long it will take the yacht to cross the entire bay..."
"I need to do some simple analysis of the ecology of the sea ahead. Only when I have a good grasp of the situation can we set sail!"
The leader nodded.
Professor Xiao was always cautious in his actions, so they would do as he said.
He then turned and instructed others to rest and prepare lunch.
Professor Xiao, with Fan Yiyi, walked towards the beach under the protection of several burly men.
Indeed, the content Professor Xiao had just mentioned was precisely what Zhang Chen was concerned about.
In the first thirty days after the apocalypse began, Zhang Chen had paid attention to the situation in the rivers.
There were no fish.
At that time, there weren't even mutated plants or insects.
But after thirty days, mutated plants and insects all appeared.
Who knew if the seabed had also undergone massive changes?!
What if the yacht encountered an attack from sea monsters in the deep sea... the consequences would be unimaginable.
With Zhang Chen's strength, he wouldn't instantly become fish food.
However, flying aimlessly on the vast ocean was also a fatal matter.
Thus, Zhang Chen also walked to the beach, his eyes gazing at the boundless sea.
Soon, prompts appeared by the sea:
[The seawater composition is similar to Earth's, it cannot be directly consumed. After distillation, a small amount of pure water can be obtained, which can be safely drunk!]
[The monsters in the sea have not been completely suppressed, and terrifying creatures have not yet appeared. There are some mutated creatures...]
[Mutated creatures are sensitive to sound and vibration. It is recommended not to make loud noises by the sea or while sailing!]
Sensitive to sound and vibration...
Zhang Chen frowned.
The yacht's propeller would definitely make a lot of noise in the water.
This was unavoidable.
It was now the third day of the new world of the apocalypse.
If they changed course and detoured around the bay, the difficulty of the journey and the number of troublesome monsters encountered would be unknown.
It was likely they wouldn't be able to reach Tengxiang Country within the short period of 27 days.
By then, if the monsters were unsuppressed again, the matter of exploring the natives of Tengxiang Country would instantly escalate from normal difficulty to hell difficulty.
They couldn't afford to delay any longer. They needed to quickly determine the strength of the sea monsters and make a decision quickly!
As Zhang Chen thought this, another prompt suddenly appeared beside the sea:
[Instead of worrying about monsters in the deep sea, you should be more concerned about the monsters on the coast...]
Monsters on the coast?
Zhang Chen's heart stirred!
Currently, it was some plants and insects that had mutated.
These things were all at the lower end of the food chain in nature.
If this logic was correct, it meant that the first to be unsuppressed in the sea should also be those at the lower end of the food chain.
For example...
Zhang Chen began to quickly recall all sorts of seafood he had eaten in his mind...
At this moment, in the Bear Country camp.
Their music was playing extremely loudly, and everyone was immersed in celebratory revelry.
Just then, the sand on the ground suddenly began to loosen.
"Drilling worms! There are drilling worms! Everyone be careful!"
The big Bear Country man shouted.
Although he had drunk a lot of alcohol, his courage had increased.
He pulled out a fork and pointed it at the spot where the sand was loosening.
Whoosh...
A massive figure emerged from the sand.
It was a giant crab.
It was as large as a small truck.
Its entire body was covered in a hard shell with sharp spikes.
Its massive claws waved menacingly in the air.
"What a big crab..."
Zhang Chen murmured to himself.
At the same time, a prompt slowly appeared beside the crab:
Name: Mutated Giant Crab
Type: Mutated Type II Crustacean
Skills:
[Burrowing]: Body structure is suitable for drilling into sand and soil, and lying in ambush for prey. Limited movement distance within the soil.
[Energy Absorption Shell]: When activated, all energy attacks will be converted into food and absorbed 100%.
[Note: The shell of a crustacean is extremely tough and can withstand powerful physical attacks.]
[The weakness of this fellow is at its mouth. From here, the mutated giant crab's shell can be better damaged. Of course... if you are confident in your own strength, you can ignore this prompt...]
[Also, the meat of the mutated giant crab is delicious, but it contains a potent toxin. A single bite can send you to the underworld!]
