Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

Chapter 208 Exploding Flying Fish



Chapter 208 Exploding Flying Fish

This scream wasn't just heard by Zhou Yang and his group; everyone on Baijishan heard it.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, and without anyone giving orders, everyone quickly got up and rushed to the open space outside to assemble.

However, as soon as they stepped out of the villa, they saw flames in the distance and heard continuous explosions.

As I was looking at it, a hideous flying fish flew over my head.

It looks a bit like a combination of a tuna and a pufferfish in its pufferfish form, and it also has a pair of wings on its back. In short, it's very ugly.

One of the metal-powered individuals couldn't resist and threw a throwing knife at the target.

"Bang!" There was a sound.

The flying fish exploded above everyone's heads, the huge explosion momentarily deafening everyone.

Then, bits of the flying fish's shredded flesh fell down, and a stench spread through the crowd, becoming utterly unbearable.

One of the pieces of meat fell onto Yu Hui's head.

Yu Hui shook his hair in frustration. The pieces of meat had fallen off, but the stench of the meat still lingered.

Chi Feng disdainfully abandoned him and squeezed next to Zhou Yang and the others.

Yu Hui: "..."

Having witnessed the power of the flying fish, which was no less than that of a small bomb plus a stink bomb, no one dared to underestimate this little creature anymore.

Once everyone was accounted for, Zhou Xian immediately assigned tasks to the people on his left and right.

Those with superpowers below level 4 are responsible for rescuing ordinary survivors. Those between level 4 and 5 are responsible for dealing with the bomb-wielding flying fish in the base, trying to avoid harming innocent bystanders, and of course, buildings as well.

As for the players who are level 5 or above, they should go directly to the vicinity of the base to check if there are any large monsters attacking.

Everyone quickly accepted the order.

The Hidden Dragon Squad was also forced to disband.

However, Zhou Yang and the others had no objections.

The only one to worry about is Xu Qingtang, who has never been on a mission before, but with Lu Yanwen and Lu Xingye keeping an eye on her, there shouldn't be any major problems.

However, this meant that Zhou Yang couldn't go to the outer perimeter with them, so he could only tell Shen Zechuan and the others to be careful, and just in case, he also had them bring peas with them.

Seeing that Zhou Xian and Shen Zechuan and the others who were level 5 or above went to the outer perimeter, Zhou Yang and the others caught up with the main force to deal with the flying fish that kept coming from the ocean.

It's strange, really. The coastline is supposed to be tens of kilometers away from the base, so I don't know how they managed to fly that far.

However, after the apocalypse, almost all species changed, except for humans, who seemed to have remained largely unchanged.

So it's not surprising that there are flying fish like this.

These flying fish are easy to kill; just hit them once and they'll explode on the spot.

The key is to grasp the timing and location of the explosion to minimize further damage to the Shanghai base.

These flying fish were all heading towards areas with many people. It was only because there weren't many people outside at the beginning of the attack that they chose to attack indiscriminately, which is why they destroyed many buildings in the base.

Once people were frightened and ran back from the building, the flying fish abandoned it.

After figuring out the true nature of these flying fish, Zhou Yang and his team consulted with Zhou Qi, who was temporarily acting as captain. They decided to first rescue and relocate the ordinary people, and then have the superhumans go to a more open area to act as targets, directly attracting the flying fish and attempting to explode them collectively.

Subsequently, a large number of ordinary people were evacuated to safe buildings.

Once only a large number of ability users remained outside, Zhou Qi made further assignments: all earth and ice ability users were to go to several plazas to serve as targets and be ready to conduct bomb disposal operations at any time. Meanwhile, metal and fire ability users were divided into several groups to be responsible for demolition work in several plazas.

The rest of the people remained on standby, ready to provide assistance and deal with any lone flying fish.

"Your group, go to the northeast corner; your group, go to the southeast corner; your group, go to the center. Move out immediately!"

As soon as Zhou Qi finished speaking, the three groups immediately headed towards their positions.

Those who were on standby dispersed to make it easier to clear the flying fish from all directions, while also reducing their attraction to the flying fish.

Zhou Yang also took Xu Qingtang with him and hid in a corner, then took out two crossbows that had been sealed in his space for almost half a year.

The smaller one was given to Xu Qingtang, while he took the heavy crossbow.

Fortunately, Zhou Yang can now easily handle this heavy crossbow; even if he lifts it for a long time, it's effortless.

With the large number of ordinary people no longer visible, the numerous superhumans standing out like bags in the three open spaces became the primary targets of these flying fish.

They swarmed towards these three directions in a chaotic rush.

Upon seeing this, all the superpowered individuals immediately unleashed their abilities.

The earth element built a protective wall, and the ice element froze the swooping flying fish, so that it wouldn't explode even if it fell.

The metal and fire elements, once the flying fish have accumulated to a certain number, will unleash their special abilities, sending countless flying blades and flames towards the swarm of flying fish.

In an instant, the flying fish began to explode like firecrackers that had been lit.

Seeing that the fish had been set ablaze, the metal and fire-type ability users in charge of the explosion quickly hid behind the earthen wall and the ice wall added by the ice-type ability users.

Just as I took cover, the school of fish above exploded completely.

If a single flying fish is just a small bomb, then thousands upon thousands of flying fish are practically a C4 bomb.

The three C4s together illuminated the sky above the Shanghai base, turning it into daylight.

It was fortunate that everyone present was a superhuman; otherwise, even with the earthen and ice walls as protection, they would have had a very hard time surviving.

The large group of flying fish was successfully dealt with, but some inevitably escaped the net and scattered in various places.

So the others quickly picked up their weapons or used their special abilities to take care of the lone flying fish.

Only after shooting and exploding the last flying fish in front of them did Zhou Yang and Xu Qingtang emerge from their hiding place.

Although they were covered in dust, compared to everyone else who were all covered in dirt, the two of them were considered quite clean.

Once it was confirmed that all the flying fish had been dealt with, everyone gathered together again. After leaving those below level 4 and those from the Shanghai base to stay behind, the rest of the group followed Zhou Qi to the outer perimeter.

Zhou Yang and his group walked at the very front.

When they were fighting the Flying Fish, Zhou Yang had faintly heard several explosions coming from the outer city, which made him a little worried. However, since the Flying Fish had not been dealt with yet, he tried his best to hold back.

Now that we can go to the outer city, we are naturally eager to go.

However, they hadn't gone far when the group felt the earth shake violently.

Looking up, I saw a giant octopus approaching the base and trying to scale the city wall.

The commotion we just witnessed was caused by the movement of this octopus.

On the city wall, countless superhumans were relentlessly attacking the giant octopus, but the octopus seemed to have a cheat code, able to devour any superhuman ability without being affected in the slightest.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang suddenly had an idea:

Could this be a mutated animal with the ability to devour others?

Can its crystal core be used to "upgrade" itself?

That way, he can openly put the peas in his space!

The thought of this made Zhou Yang's eyes light up, blinking in the darkness.
