Chapter 219 Giant Mutant Octopus
Through everyone's tireless efforts, at sunrise, the front line was finally pushed step by step to the vicinity of the coastline.
Facing the still faint sunlight, several mutated jellyfish retreated directly back to the sea and submerged themselves in the seawater. Under the resentful gazes of Zhou Yang and the others, they quickly sank into the sea and soon disappeared from sight.
Seeing this, Yan Qian and the others had no choice but to abandon the mutated jellyfish and turn back to deal with the shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
Just as the battle was in full swing, a sudden surge of waves appeared in the sea, and countless mutated marine creatures rushed out of the sea to the shore, not even paying attention to Yan Qian and the other humans, and ran around the path to the land.
As a large number of legged sea fish and shellfish that walk on their shells passed by, everyone was left bewildered.
Thinking that the mutated marine creatures had changed their strategy and were now targeting the Shanghai base, they quickly contacted the personnel remaining at the Shanghai base and instructed them to be vigilant in their defenses.
And they were preparing to intercept them first.
At this moment, someone noticed a huge blue-green landmass suddenly emerging from the nearshore waters and exclaimed in surprise.
"Hey, look over there, how come there's suddenly a small island over there? Am I seeing things? I don't remember there ever being a floating island off the coast of Shanghai."
The discoverer was a local Shanghai psychic. After speaking, he rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked again, only to find that the land seemed to be much closer, which startled him.
"Damn! Why is that island getting closer and closer?!"
Upon hearing the sound, everyone looked over and, sure enough, a small floating island suddenly appeared on the sea several kilometers away, and it was moving towards the land at an astonishing speed.
Upon inspection, Yan Qian and Zhou Xian immediately recognized that this was not a floating island, but another mutated marine creature, and ordered everyone to be on high alert.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became alert, gripping their weapons tightly.
Chi Feng stood behind the others, watching the thing moving rapidly towards him. His eyes darkened, and he inwardly cried out in alarm.
Hey! This must be a giant mutated octopus!
Could the mutated octopus we killed earlier be this thing's offspring?
But there was no time to study that right now, so he simply grabbed Zhou Yang who was next to him.
"That thing is probably a giant mutated octopus that can change color. It's not easy to deal with. Don't go near it later."
"..." Zhou Yang paused for a second, "Why is there another mutated octopus? Isn't there anything to eat in the sea? Why do they all prefer to come to land?"
"Many marine creatures are already large, and they become even larger after mutation. In particular, some powerful creatures like to claim a certain area of the sea as their territory, and those weak and incompetent ones are either eaten or driven out. The ocean is only so big, so naturally some mutated creatures that were originally able to survive on land or evolved into amphibians have come to the land."
"..."
Humanity's living space is getting smaller and smaller.
Not only do we have to fight zombies and mutated plants and animals on land, but now we also have to fight the ocean...
Zhou Yang looked towards the ocean and sighed softly.
But now is not the time for sentimentality; dealing with this giant mutated octopus is more important.
After asking Chi Feng a few more questions about the giant mutated octopus, Zhou Yang immediately found Shen Zechuan and Yan Fei, who were in the front row, and relayed the information to them.
"This mutated octopus is larger than the ones we've encountered before, and its tentacles can regenerate infinitely at an extremely fast rate. Unless we can directly extract its crystal core from its brain, it won't die easily. However, its head is very hard and difficult to break through. The best approach is to enter through its eyes. But even the easiest part to penetrate, the membrane, is a very difficult barrier to overcome. The only ones we can probably try are you two level 5 metal ability users, Yan Fei and Brother Yan Qian."
After listening, Yan Fei remained silent and immediately turned to his elder brother to discuss countermeasures.
After listening, Shen Zechuan pushed Zhou Yang back and urged her to stand in the last row: "Okay, we understand. You should go back to the back. It's not safe here."
"..."
Zhou Yang touched his nose, just about to say that he wasn't as weak as she imagined, and that he also wanted to try to use Xiao Hu's vines to restrain the giant octopus's tentacles.
However, reality did not give him a chance to speak, and he was unable to return to the back row of the crowd as Shen Zechuan had wished.
Because while they were talking, the giant mutated octopus had already burst out of the sea and leaped right in front of them.
A large amount of seawater was carried away from the sea and splashed all over everyone's faces.
Zhou Yang was also drenched in seawater.
The cool breeze at sunrise made me feel refreshed all over.
After wiping the seawater off their faces, they opened their eyes again and looked up to see a giant octopus, tens of meters tall, comparable to a skyscraper. Its originally blue-green head had long since turned black, and it was staring at them on the ground with two huge eyes, as if it were looking at a group of ants.
Everyone was stunned by this unexpected turn of events and stood frozen in place, unable to process what had happened.
Zhou Yang was also stunned as he stared at the giant octopus.
Compared to this, the previous mutated octopus looked like a newborn baby.
Among the crowd, Yan Qian was the first to come to his senses and shouted, "Everyone, prepare for battle!"
Upon hearing the sound, everyone snapped back to reality and became wary of the giant octopus, but fear prevailed over most of them.
As if sensing the fear of the humans beneath its feet, the giant octopus suddenly raised its head and roared, raising several tentacles to smash towards the crowd.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly dodged. Zhou Yang and Chi Feng even used vines to restrain two of the tentacles, but the other tentacles still slammed down.
Because the tentacles moved so fast, even though everyone tried their best to dodge, several superhumans were still unfortunately hit by the tentacles. Some were flung more than ten meters away, while others were directly slammed into the sand. All of them are now in critical condition.
This scene infuriated Yan Qian and the others, who wanted to tear the giant octopus into eight pieces.
Before everyone could catch their breath, the giant octopus had already torn off several vines, and the next wave of attacks was already upon them, leaving everyone to continue running for their lives.
"This won't work. We're too passive down here. We need helicopters or fighter jets to support it and distract it from the air!"
Having temporarily escaped danger, Yan Qian saw that several more of his brothers had been sacrificed, while the giant octopus remained unharmed. As soon as he caught his breath, he decisively picked up his satellite phone and notified the Shanghai base to send several helicopters or fighter jets.
Only by distracting this thing can he and Yan Fei seize the opportunity to climb onto the top of the giant octopus and try to dig out its crystal core directly.
A few minutes later, a helicopter and two fighter jets dispatched from the Shanghai base arrived and, guided by Yan Qian's hand gestures, began circling the giant octopus.
Just as Yan Qian had expected, the helicopter's silhouette and the loud engine noise successfully attracted the giant octopus's attention, shifting its focus from the humans on the ground to the aircraft.
