From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 94 Bounty competition, corpse bird appears!

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the deck of the yacht, reflecting a layer of golden light.

Lin Zeyu's yacht is called Huanyu, the same one he used to hunt deep-sea woodlice at Gardenia Beach.

The name of this ship sounds a bit grand, and it is indeed large among yachts. It is 26 meters long and has double decks.

This boat was originally a luxury yacht with great entertainment value, but unfortunately it has been destroyed by Lin Zeyu and is no longer in any shape.

The last time I hunted the Abyss Woodlice, I destroyed several places.

After returning, Lin Zeyu drove the boat directly into the dock and had people modify it and install armor on the outer ring of the yacht.

All the original entertainment facilities were demolished to leave more space for storing supplies and weapons.

In short, this thing is now an armed yacht.

The yacht has a speed of over 20 knots, or 36 km/h, and can reach 28 knots at full speed.

The distance from the Binhai Port to the sea area where the corpse bird appeared is 250 nautical miles, or 463 kilometers.

It only takes half a day to get there.

Therefore, the Huanyu yacht set off in the afternoon and arrived at the target sea area at midnight.

On the way, except for the personnel on duty, everyone else went back to the cabin to sleep.

Nothing happened all night.

The next morning.

Lu Heng got up, went up to the second deck, looked at the red sun rising in the east, and stretched lazily.

"Would you like some soy milk? It's hot." Su Muyu handed over a cup of hot soy milk, and then slowly drank the cup in his hand.

"Have you ever been on a boat before?" Lu Heng asked casually as he took the soy milk.

Su Muyu shook her head: "No, this is my first time going out to sea."

When she was a child, her family lived in poor conditions, so she had never left her hometown and naturally had never been to sea.

This was her first time on such a luxurious yacht.

"Are you seasick?" Lu Heng asked.

Su Muyu shook her head: "No, and our physique is much stronger than that of ordinary people. Even if we get seasick, the reaction should be very small, right?"

"That's true."

Lu Heng nodded in agreement, and then got down to business: "From today on, you have to use the scout eagle to observe the surrounding waters to see if you can find the skeleton bird."

Su Muyu pursed her lips and asked, "The ocean is so vast, is there any way to find the skeleton bird? Or can we just try our luck?"

"Basically you can only rely on luck. If you really have to think of a way, you can find a dead large marine creature. Follow the corpse of the marine creature and search forward. The chance of encountering a corpse bird is relatively high." Lu Heng raised his head and finished drinking the soy milk, and Su Muyu took the cup from him.

The ocean is too vast. Not to mention a corpse bird, even if a naval fleet hides in the ocean, it cannot be found by satellites.

Therefore, if you want to find the corpse bird, you do need a bit of luck.

Relatively speaking, with Lu Heng around, finding the skeleton bird is easier.

Because Lu Heng had circled a circle on the ocean map, we just had to look within that range.

It’s just that this circle is a little bit big, so you still need a little bit of luck to find it.

For the next three days, the Huanyu was floating on the sea, sailing forward at a speed of 3 knots.

Originally, the yacht could stay at sea for 7 days.

In other words, if you sail in a straight line, you will have to return on the 4th day.

However, Lin Zeyu had all the entertainment facilities on the Huanyu removed and used the freed-up space to store food and fresh water.

Therefore, the sailing time was extended from 7 days to 12 days.

After three days at sea, the team encountered another ship.

After we met and greeted each other, I learned that the other party was also looking for the corpse bird.

The official has issued a reward. Although the reward amount is not high, the Corpse Bird is a high-level abyss creature and has a very high value in itself.

Therefore, more than one team of psychics are searching for the corpse bird.

In the afternoon of the 4th day.

Lin Zeyu set up a grill on the deck, had someone go down to the sea to catch a few fish to grill, and opened a bottle of red wine, enjoying the sea breeze.

When Lu Heng went up to the deck, he saw that he had grilled the fish and took it away directly.

Just as Lin Zeyu was about to eat, the fish was snatched away and his sunglasses almost fell off.

"Hey! Can you at least leave half for me?" He swallowed. He hadn't eaten fresh fish for many days and his mouth was watering with greed.

At this moment.

Su Muyu ran up and pointed to the left side of the ship, saying, "We met another boat, over there."

"It seems that there are quite a lot of teams hunting corpse birds. Let me take a look." Lin Zeyu stood up, picked up the telescope, and looked in the direction of Su Muyu's finger.

After looking at it for a while, he complained in an unhappy tone: "Damn, it's the wolf pack's ship."

Lu Heng had heard of the name of this team of superpowers. This team of superpowers called "Wolf Pack" was very famous in later generations. It had huge capital support behind it and was very powerful.

"From your tone, do you think there's something wrong?"

"It's a bit of a feud. Not too big, not too small. The Wolf Pack is a team of supernatural beings maintained by the security company under the Chunshang Group. They poached several people from me before and don't follow any rules at all." Lin Zeyu said angrily.

The third month begins as the abyss descends.

All over the world, all chaebols, forces, and families have begun to train teams of people with special abilities.

Anyone with a fresh brain can see that whoever possesses extraordinary powers will hold power in the future.

Therefore, those forces that have not yet entered the market to cultivate a team of superpowers will soon be eliminated.

Therefore, all the tycoons and forces are spending a lot of money to recruit potential people with special abilities.

A person with great potential and high level of ability is often competed for by multiple forces.

Even some people who have already signed contracts will have the power to pay liquidated damages to poach them.

Previously, the Wolf Pack poached several high-level psychics from Lin Zeyu’s Global Security Company, and the two companies had a feud.

Even if there was no poaching, Lin Zeyu and the Wolf Pack team would not get along.

Because the chaebol behind the wolf pack is the Chun Shang Group, a group controlled by foreign capital and a multinational chaebol.

The recently emerged "quenching master" He Shangyong was promoted by Chunshang Group behind the scenes.

In order to break the impasse, Lin Zeyu directly launched a guaranteed quenching success rate, promising a quenching success rate of 70%.

This move was a bit cruel, and Chunshang Group didn’t dare to take it at all because they couldn’t.

Lin Zeyu had specifically inquired about this and found out that He Shangyong's quenching success rate was only about 50%, and that he needed to enter the abyss world for quenching, which was very costly.

Not to mention the 70% guaranteed success rate, even if it was 50%, Chunshang Group would not be able to handle it.

Therefore, in this competition in the quenching market, Chunshang Group is purely losing money to gain publicity. It has gained fame, but the psychics who are truly capable of quenching weapons are not stupid and will definitely choose the side with a 70% guaranteed success rate.

After this competition in the quenching market, Lin's and Chunshang Group became competitors.

"They seem to be coming closer, are they saying hello?" Su Muyu used the scout eagle to see the speedboat of the wolf pack approaching. "Wang Xiangfeng, get your weapons ready, and don't lose momentum." Lin Zeyu wanted to compete with the boat on the opposite side.

After the wolf pack's boat approached, Lin Zeyu was about to talk to the people on the opposite boat.

Unexpectedly, the wolf pack's ship suddenly accelerated and rushed in front of the Huanyu, splashing water on the Huanyu.

This is a very obvious provocative act, but it does not reach the level of physical violence.

"Fuck! These assholes!"

Lin Zeyu cursed and shouted, "Quick! Speed ​​up and get ahead of them."

The Huanyu began to speed up and catch up, but even after increasing its speed to a maximum of 28 knots, it still could not catch up with the ship in front.

Wang Xiangfeng said helplessly: "Boss, theirs is an armed speedboat, and we are a yacht, we can't catch up."

Yachts are originally used for sea travel, and their main features are comfort and luxury, with no particular emphasis on vessel performance.

Armed speedboats are different. They are used for armed operations and have stronger performance and faster speed.

"Damn it! I'm going to get an armed speedboat when I go back. No, I'm going to get a warship directly." Lin Zeyu immediately got angry.

He was just saying that something like a warship is not something you can get just by saying it.

If you really want to do it, you can actually buy retired antiques from other countries, but of course all the weapons must be dismantled.

The wolf pack's armed speedboat ran in front for a while, then suddenly slowed down and came next to the Huanyu.

On the armed speedboat, a wolf pack leader leaned against the guardrail and gave Lin Zeyu a sneer: "Master Lin, the boat is not in good condition."

"What's the use of having a ship? It takes people." Lin Zeyu retorted firmly.

"The people from Huanyu aren't that good either, right? Aren't all the good ones coming to us?" The wolf leader continued to sneer.

Lin Zeyu's face darkened and he cursed, "Black Wolf, you want to cause trouble, right?"

Black Wolf shrugged and said, "Come over to say hello. Look how angry Young Master Lin is. Okay, let's go now. Young Master Lin, take your time. If you are in danger, you can send a distress signal. If the distance is not too far, I will definitely come to rescue you."

"Get the hell out of here! I'm waiting for you to cry for help!" Lin Zeyu immediately cursed back.

"Are you guys here to look for the corpse bird as well? Looking at the number of people you have, you'll just be here to deliver food if you find it. Why bother? Just eat some seafood and go back." Black Wolf shook his finger at Lin Zeyu with a mocking look on his face.

After the provocation, Black Wolf accelerated the armed speedboat and left the Huanyu behind again.

Lin Zeyu cursed, "What a bunch of cowards! They just talk big. If he dares to do anything, I will definitely kill him!"

……

In the next few days, we encountered five or six more ships looking for the corpse bird.

Most of them just said hello and then parted ways, while some didn't come over and just went their separate ways.

The Huanyu had been drifting on the sea for 10 days. The food and water on the ship had been almost consumed, so it had to find a port for resupply.

That afternoon.

Finally, we encountered the corpse of a large marine creature, a whale shark.

This whale shark is 20 meters long and floats upright on the sea, pushed by the waves.

"This whale shark has not been eaten yet." Su Muyu observed the appearance and found that the whale shark was still intact.

"How about bringing up some meat to try? I've never eaten such a big fish." Lin Zeyu licked his lips.

"This whale shark should have been dead for a few days. Even the carnivorous fish in the sea don't dare to eat it. How dare you?" Lu Heng complained.

Lin Zeyu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you saying that this whale shark can no longer be eaten?"

To be precise, the prey killed by the carcass bird contains strong toxins, so the carnivorous fish in the ocean dare not eat these corpses.

"You can give it a try. At most, your intestines will be pierced and your stomach will be ruptured. It's not a big deal." Lu Heng looked at him jokingly.

"Just pretend I didn't say anything. What should we do now?" Lin Zeyu asked.

Lu Heng jumped from the deck onto the back of the whale shark, checked the top of the whale shark's head and found a wound.

This is the standard wound that a corpse bird uses to kill its prey, killing it with one strike.

After being killed, the corpse bird will not eat the corpse, but will simply leave and wait for the corpse to rot bit by bit. After a few days, it will return to eat the rotten corpse.

After checking the whale shark, Lu Heng returned to the deck and said, "The whale shark's body has begun to rot. Food that has rotted to this extent is the favorite of the skeleton bird.

"Besides, this whale shark is huge, the carcass bird will not let go of such a large meal and will definitely return.

"The corpse bird will come back here to eat in a day at most. We just need to wait nearby."

When Lin Zeyu heard that he was finally going to encounter the Corpse Bird, he immediately became excited: "Okay, let's wait here."

"First keep a distance and keep an eye on it from 10 kilometers away." Lu Heng ordered the Huanyu to sail 10 kilometers away and keep an eye on the whale shark carcass from a distance of 10 kilometers.

Time flows slowly.

Wait from morning to afternoon and then to evening.

Everyone else started to get nervous. First, they were worried that the corpse bird would appear. They didn't know if they could deal with such a scary creature.

The second is that I’m worried that the corpse bird won’t appear, and then my wait would be in vain.

After evening, the sun slowly sank into the sea level and the sky gradually darkened.

The corpse bird has not appeared yet.

When the time came to nine o'clock in the evening, a full moon rose in the sky.

Today is a full-moon night. Although it is not as bright as during the day, the moonlight reflected from the sea allows people to see clearly.

Just when everyone was feeling a little sleepy, Su Muyu suddenly stood up with a start: "Here it comes, it appears."

"Where?" Lin Zeyu also jumped up immediately.

"In the southeast direction, it flew towards the body of the whale shark." Su Muyu replied.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry... start the boat, rush over, and get started!" Lin Zeyu shouted.

Lu Heng hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, don't be anxious, let it eat for a while. When the corpse bird starts to eat, it will be very vigilant. When it is halfway through eating, it will slowly relax its vigilance. That will be the best time to take action."

Time passed by minute by minute.

Everyone was ready for battle, nervously waiting for Lu Heng to give the order to attack.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, Lu Heng said, "Okay, Mu Yu, turn the whole ship invisible, we'll go over and reduce the speed to one-fourth."

Su Muyu released a large invisible curtain, covering the entire Huanyu.

After this skill is upgraded to level C, the stealth coverage range is expanded to 30 meters, and the total length of the Huanyu is 26 meters, which can just cover the entire range.

The Huanyu entered stealth mode and slowly approached the corpse bird.

When they were close to 1000 meters, Lu Heng asked everyone to be quiet, and when they were close to 500 meters, he still hadn't taken any action.

As they approached within 300 meters, the skeleton bird could be clearly seen with the naked eye.

It was a 30-meter-long terrifying creature with a pair of wings, claws on the wings, and an exoskeleton covered its body. It looked a bit like a bird and a bit like a pterodactyl.

At this moment, the corpse bird pounced on the body of the whale shark, grasped the whale shark tightly with its four claws, and swallowed the whale shark's internal organs.

Lu Heng waved his right hand and said, "Alright, at this distance, set up the sniper rifles and machine guns and fire the first round. Lin Zeyu, you fire the first shot and try to hit the center of its torso to exert the effect of [Bone Erosion]."
