The fish was long dead and reeked of decay. Underneath the fish were not only four legs, but also a support structure that held the fish's body in place; the legs were just part of that support.

Fish are covered in bacteria that can infect humans and other organisms, and these bacteria can also produce gas. The support structure is made entirely of metal, and its internal structure is not complex, mainly consisting of pistons and cylinders. The gas produced by the bacteria is the energy source that allows the legs to move.

In the manga, Japan was basically destroyed because of these walking fish, and these walking fish landed all over the world. Only people with antibacterial constitutions, like the protagonist, were lucky enough to escape.

In the end, the comic never clarified whether the walking fish was man-made. If it wasn't, the support structure was clearly mechanical; if it was, the support structure didn't use a single screw, there were no welding marks, and the assembly method was unclear, so it didn't seem like a man-made product.

This must be alien technology.

Dongyun panicked when he saw the science explanations in the comments.

This fish is covered in bacteria. These bacteria can not only infect other organisms, but also provide power for its support structure to walk, making it seem like a zombie that is not afraid of pain. Isn't that absurd?

However, there is a problem.

Did he see a fish that only had legs and no support?

"Family members, can you guys fast forward the progress bar? Can someone go back and take a look, keep an eye on the frame, and see if that walking fish on the rocky beach only has legs and no support?"

If it really is a walking fish, Dongyun thinks they're done playing.

According to the comments, the walking fish's ability to infect is astonishing. In the comic, the whole of Japan was soon overrun, and the whole world was also suspected of being overrun. Everywhere there were walking fish, infected people, and dead people controlled by stents.

If the walking fish on the beach looked exactly like the walking fish in Junji Ito's manga, they wouldn't survive. Rather than dying from infection and having their corpses decompose and become the energy source for the body's movement, they'd rather die early and be reborn, choosing a more aesthetically pleasing and easier way to die.

Not long after Dongyun asked the comments section for help, he received good news from the comments.

The fish on the rocky shore has no support under its body and only has four legs. Moreover, some viewers have compared it and found that the legs of the walking fish on the rocky shore are more like the legs of an insect, similar to the legs of the walking fish in Junji Ito's story, but not quite the same.

"Thank you, may you have a peaceful and happy life."

Seeing the many comments from people who went back to help him watch the walker fish, Dongyun was extremely grateful.

There are still many good people in the world.

After listening to Shinonome's explanation, Gabriel and Kagamihara Nadeshiko both fell silent.

While the walking fish on the rocky beach may not be the same as the walking fish in Junji Ito's manga, a fish the size of a small car with long legs is still quite terrifying.

Even if that big black fish on the rocky beach has no bacteria and no ability to infect, and is just an ordinary long-legged live fish, it would still be terrifying if it attacked people. It would be just like a wild boar, okay?

As an angel, Gabriel wasn't surprised by the existence of such monsters. The Demon Realm, bordering the Heavenly Realm, had many monsters even more bizarre and terrifying than the walking fish. However, lacking magical power, she was an angel in name only. She possessed the strength to bind seagulls, but lacked the ability to take down wild boars, leopards, and brown bears with a single slide tackle.

But if that walking fish is actually a large, live fish with legs, then they might be able to kill it.

Should we go and take it down?

Gabriel asked.

How can you allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the couch?

"Huh? We're going to take it down? Really?"

Dongyun pointed to his face. Is this angel really that irritable?

They had neither weapons nor armor. Even if the fish didn't carry any infectious bacteria, a simple charge from a salted fish would have been enough to kill them.

"Rather than wilderness survival, would you rather go to another world and form a three-person team to defeat the Demon King?"

"I'd rather go home, stay home, eat potato chips, and play video games."

Gabrielle knew her suggestion was unrealistic, but the fish was right below, which made her very uneasy.

"I wish I could too." Dongyun sighed, glanced outside the cave again, and said, "Let's go to sleep. We'll see if it's still there tomorrow. If it is, that's another story. Don't go add any more firewood. It shouldn't be able to be extinguished. If it is, it can just regenerate."

"Ah."

Gabrielle agreed softly.

In fact, even knowing that there were walking fish on the rocky beach, they didn't have any good solutions. Since they couldn't kill the walking fish, they could only pretend they didn't know and go to sleep, waiting until dawn to see if it was still on the rocky beach before making further plans.

“Look, Nadeshiko is asleep.”

Dongyun chuckled softly, his words startling Gabriel.

"what?"

Gabriel quickly looked towards Kagamihara Nadeshiko.

Nadeshiko was lying on the ground, hugging her legs, her body curled up like a shrimp, and she was muttering softly.

"Can't eat anymore."

Chapter 40 Not Now

So hungry.

At night, curled up on the sleeping mat, Shima Rin couldn't sleep.

Not only was she too hungry to sleep because she hadn't eaten all day, but the noisy chirping of insects and howling of wild animals around her also prevented her from falling asleep peacefully.

She was asleep, but the howling of wild animals from somewhere woke her up.

When she woke up, the red color outside the tent startled her.

Her campfire went out because of the rain.

She quietly pulled back the curtain and saw that the ground was stained red. She cautiously peeked out.

Looking up, she saw the sky stained red and the raindrops through the leaves.

Although Shima Rin knew she had entered another world after seeing two moons at night, the fact that the night in this other world had turned into a blood-red night was too eerie.

If it were just a change in the weather, she wouldn't be so scared, but the howling of wild beasts tonight made her afraid to close her eyes and sleep.

She was terrified that if she closed her eyes, she would never open them again.

However, the weakness brought on by hunger, the exhaustion and frustration from searching for food all day without success, all made Shima Rin's eyelids grow heavier and heavier.

So hungry.

I really want to eat.

I really want to go home.

I miss my mom and dad so much.

Shima Rin didn't sleep well that night.

There are two other people like her: Shinonome and Gabriel.

……

early morning.

Blue sky, white clouds, rocky beach without walking fish.

Dongyun tiptoed out of the cave and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw no trace of walking fish on the rocky beach or the sea.

He was genuinely worried that he would come out and stare blankly at the walking fish on the rocky beach.

The cautious Dongyun was still worried, so she looked up at the sea cliff and down at the bottom of the sea cliff again.

Very good, there are no walking fish above or below.

There are more and more strange things in this place: a spider the size of a football, a fish with four insect legs, and what's next?

Will there be monsters like the Cyclops Deerclops or the Eye of Cthulhu? If so, come and join us! Stop torturing them; we'll just have a good laugh and a good GG.

"Today is a good day for work."

Dongyun was pessimistic about the future, but he still wanted to live, one day at a time.

If he were alone, he might have thought about ending it all. But he already has a bullet screen system and a survival system, and two beautiful girls to keep him company. Not only does he not want to die, he also wants to live a sexual, cough, happy life with the girls.

"But I'm so sleepy."

Dongyun rubbed his eyes; he had been worried all night and hadn't slept well.

The good news is that he's stopped having diarrhea.

He was working on Splatoon 6 yesterday. Luckily, he seemed to feel better after dark. Otherwise, knowing there were walking fish on the rocky beach and his stomach was still upset, he would have had to make Nadeshiko and Gabriel bear with his smell.

“Ahhh~!”

A yawn came from behind him. Shinonome turned around and saw Gabriel.

With her hair disheveled, eyes squinting, and face downcast, wearing only a white top and pure white panties, Gabriel still looked incredibly cute, pleasing to the eye, and arousing many sexual fantasies.

However, compared to Gabriel now, it was yesterday when I couldn't see Gabriel that gave me more wicked fantasies.

Yesterday's heavy rain soaked Nadeshiko and Gabriel's clothes.

Nadeshiko has a down jacket, so she can change her clothes. She doesn't need to worry about her upper body, but for her lower body, she can bury herself in the palm leaf bed and cover herself with palm leaves. However, Gabriel, who doesn't have a down jacket, can't do that.

There was nothing he could do. Although Shinonome wanted to enjoy Gabriel's perks, Gabriel was unwilling, so he couldn't force her.

So he had no choice but to obey Gabriel. He had to announce his return to the cave after taking a bath, wait for Gabriel to put on her clothes before returning, and then face the wall after returning to the cave. He could only turn around freely after Gabriel's clothes had dried. Otherwise, he had to announce his return in advance.

Dongyun knew that if he didn't agree, there was nothing he could do, but this would create conflict with Gabriel. Although he was prone to arrogance and righteousness, he wouldn't let his ego control his true self and insist on seeing Gabriel's body.
