Flood Apocalypse: Starting with a God-Tier Fishing Rod

A few hours later.

Lu Fan woke up on the wooden bed.

I slept very soundly and comfortably.

The aches and pains in my body have subsided considerably, but my stomach keeps growling incessantly.

"I'm starving..."

Lu Fan rubbed his empty stomach. He had been consuming too many calories these past few days, relying solely on beef jerky and spicy strips.

I lost at least 10 pounds in three days.

He glanced out the window.

It was still early, around one or two in the afternoon.

He yawned, planning to fish for as much as possible before it rained tonight, preferably some carbohydrates.

Otherwise, I definitely won't be able to sleep at night if I'm hungry.

Lu Fan took a sip of filtered fresh water and felt his body come back to life.

He picked up his superb fishing rod, chose a prime spot on the deck, sat on the small stool he had caught earlier, and skillfully cast the line into the water.

With a gentle sea breeze, if you didn't see all this ruins, it would actually feel like a vacation...

Just as Lu Fan was staring blankly at the float.

On the sea not far away, a grayish-white object was bobbing up and down with the waves, drifting towards the ship.

Judging from its shape, it looks like a person.

Lu Fan wasn't surprised; he'd seen more floating corpses than living people in the past few days.

But when the corpse drifted closer, revealing its swollen and pale face, Lu Fan was stunned.

Although his face was deformed, he recognized it all too well.

Sharp-tongued and mean-spirited, even in death he carried a repulsive, bitter look.

"Chu Xin's second aunt?"

Lu Fan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

"How did it drift here? Fengjiang Garden is still several kilometers away from here."

"Did they escape?"

He stood up and cautiously scanned the sea.

Apart from a few landmark building ruins protruding from the water, no ships were seen.

How did this old hag die?

Upon closer inspection, the body was intact, so it was probably not killed by a sea monster, but more likely drowned.

The body, carried by the current, slammed against the bottom of the boat with a "bang".

Those dead fish eyes stared directly at Lu Fan, making him look particularly eerie.

"Tsk, what bad luck!"

Lu Fan frowned in disgust, grabbed the wooden paddle next to him, and stabbed the swollen corpse hard.

puff.

The body was pushed aside and slowly drifted away with the current.

"In your past life, you stood on a boat watching me feed the sharks; in this life, enjoy the taste of the sea!"

Lu Fan sneered, ignoring the floating corpse, and sat back down on the small stool, focusing intently on his own float.

To him, a dead enemy is less valuable than a piece of trash who takes the bait.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

On the sea a few kilometers away.

A bright yellow inflatable raft is struggling to stay afloat in the waves.

Chu Xin was soaked to the bone, her hair plastered to her face, looking utterly disheveled.

She held the trembling teddy dog ​​tightly in her arms, crying her heart out, her voice filled with despair.

"Why didn't you save your second aunt?!"

"If you had just reached out a hand... even just a paddle to pull her, she wouldn't have been swept away!"

"She and my second uncle raised me from a young age, they're like my own mother! Waaaaah..."

Chen Ze sat opposite him, his face grim as he gripped the plastic paddle.

Hearing Chu Xin's accusation, he slammed the oar into the water and roared, "You think I don't want to save her?! Huh?!"

"In that situation, with such big waves! She fell in and instead of grabbing the leash, she insisted on lifting the dog up so I could save it first?!"

Chen Ze pointed at the trembling teddy bear in Chu Xin's arms, his veins bulging with anger:

"I've never seen such an idiot in my life! He'd risk his life to save a dog?!"

"Fine! She wants to save the dog, I'll grant her wish! Now that the dog is here, she's exhausted, and she's blaming me?!"

"I see that in her eyes, this dog is closer than you, her niece! More precious than my own life!"

Chu Xin was stunned by the shout, opened her mouth, but couldn't find any words to refute it.

indeed……

My aunt's first reaction after falling into the water was to lift the dog above her head.

"...Second Aunt, why did you do this...?"

Chu Xin had nowhere to complain, so she could only hug the dog, bury her head in her knees, and cry bitterly.

Chen Ze looked at her crying and sobbing, a barely perceptible glint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

Actually, he had a perfect opportunity to grab the old woman's hand just now.

But for a moment, he hesitated.

No, it should be said that he chose to let go.

That old man started gesturing and complaining as soon as he boarded the boat, complaining about the crowds and the swaying, and even dared to order him to save the dog in a commanding tone.

Carrying on such a burden will eventually drag you down.

Since she loves dogs so much, let her risk her life for them.

Chen Ze took a deep breath, suppressing the violence in his heart, and put on a tired and helpless tone.

He reached out and patted Chu Xin's trembling shoulder:

"Alright, Xin Xin, stop crying."

"What's the use of crying? Can crying bring someone back to life?"

"As you saw, although that big wave swept away my second aunt, it also pushed us to the vicinity of the dock."

Chen Ze's gaze drifted into the distance, his voice carrying a seductive undertone:

"That's fate; fortune and misfortune are intertwined!"

"My second aunt sacrificed herself so that we could survive."

"As long as we get on that yacht, with food and drink, we can live like human beings, and then we can properly pay our respects to her, okay?"

Chu Xin looked up at Chen Ze with teary eyes, finally nodding and obediently leaning into his arms.

"I'm sorry, Aze, it's all because I was too willful..."

"It's okay, I don't blame you! Let's keep going, the yacht should be close by!"
