Flood Apocalypse: Starting with a God-Tier Fishing Rod

The rain was torrential, and the entire mountain area was muddy and impassable.

The group slowly made their way up the mountain.

The tree trunks along the way were covered with strange scratches, and the bark was peeling back to reveal the wood underneath.

Something's not right!

The fat man squatted down next to a wild boar carcass and reached out to touch the broken spine.

The cross-section was uneven, and blackened meat shreds were still hanging on it.

"This wild boar weighs at least 300 pounds, yet its spine was bitten through in one bite!" The fat man wiped his hands on his clothes, his face turning pale. "The flood forced wild animals to flee to higher ground, but this wound...it doesn't look like that of an ordinary beast!"

The big dog walked ahead, gun in hand, breathing heavily. "Whatever it is, if it dares to show its face, I'll shoot it!"

A short while later, a partially collapsed cave appeared before them.

The cave entrance was sheltered from the wind, and a faint smell of burnt coal wafted out.

Cheng Xue made a hand gesture, and the group crept in along the rock wall.

The cave is spacious, dry, and sheltered from the rain.

There was a simple stove made of stacked stones on the ground.

Half of the porridge in the pot was eaten, and the rest was spilled on the ground, as if someone eating had been suddenly interrupted by something and never returned.

The big dog probed the soot under the stove, rubbing it between its fingers: "It must have been left over from last night!"

Cheng Xue frowned, unscrewed a red signal flare, and threw it into the depths of the cave.

The cave is not deep, about ten meters long.

The signal flare struck the end of the cave, illuminating the surroundings with its red light.

There were three dark figures piled up there.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered three human corpses.

Wearing the crew uniform of the Far Voyage.

It has no head.

His chest cavity was violently ripped open, and his internal organs had been completely removed.

"Hiss..." The fat man covered his mouth, his stomach churning.

"Atao! Guard the entrance and record the terrain!" Cheng Xue's voice turned cold as she quickly drew her gun. "The rest of you, examine the bodies and confirm their identities!"

Atao walked to the cave entrance and pulled back the bolt of his rifle: "Okay, Captain! I'll get right there..."

call--

A gust of foul wind swept in.

There were no screams.

All that could be heard was the crisp sound of bones being crushed.

A dark shadow was biting Atao's head and swallowing him whole.

He then flung Atao's body away, slamming it against the rock wall, the blood from his neck cavity soaking the wall.

"Ah Tao!!" Big Dog's eyes bulged instantly, and he raised his gun to pull the trigger.

"Calm down!" Cheng Xue shouted sharply.

Beside Atao's body, a huge creature slowly approached.

That's a tiger!

It is larger than an adult water buffalo.

Its fur is covered with a layer of grayish-white, hard keratin.

Along the spine, each vertebra pierces the skin and grows out, like a row of upside-down bone spurs.

The room was covered with several dried human heads, as well as the heads of various animals.

Even more bizarrely, it had several eyes of different sizes on its face, distributed on its forehead and cheeks, all staring at the four people in the cave.

"Aww..."

The mutated tiger let out a low growl, raised its front paws, and crushed Atao's corpse. Then it opened its mouth.

puff.

An eyeball was spat out like a melon seed and rolled to Cheng Xue's feet.

Those were Atao's unseeing eyes in death!

"This beast is intelligent; it's provoking us!" Cheng Xue's forehead veins bulged.

The two men, Big Dog and Big Dog, could no longer hold back and raised their guns, unleashing a torrent of fire.

"Go to hell!!"

Da da da da!

A hail of bullets rained down.

It directly punched the mutated tiger until it was covered in bloody holes.

The enormous body staggered backward, letting out a mournful cry, before crashing heavily to the ground, barely alive.

"I'll kill you!!" The big dog, bloodthirsty as a madman, pulled out his machete and charged forward. "You'll pay with your life!"

Suddenly, the monster's tightly closed eyes twitched slightly.

Cheng Xue's pupils constricted sharply as she realized something was wrong: "Come back quickly! He's faking his death!"

But it was all too late.

Just as the big dog rushed in front of it, the monster, which had been on the verge of death, suddenly sprang up.

The bullet holes on its body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

call!

The huge tiger paw slammed down towards the big dog.

Before the big dog could react, it was slapped and sent flying, crashing into the rock wall and spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.

"Big dog!" The fat man desperately raised his gun and continued firing.

But the monster stopped hiding.

It seemed to have grown tired of this cat-and-mouse game; several eyes gleamed with ferocity as it approached step by step.

"It's no use! Conventional firepower can't kill this thing!"

Cheng Xue grabbed the fat man's gun barrel and pulled out a metal syringe with a faint blue luster from the lining of her tactical vest.

"Captain? You're going to use this thing?!" the fat man shouted in terror.

"Stop talking nonsense! Take that kid and run!"

Without any hesitation, Cheng Xue plunged the needle directly into her carotid artery and pressed down hard with her thumb.

"Ughh ...

A mournful roar rang out.

Cheng Xue's fair skin instantly turned light red, her blood vessels throbbed, and steam continued to rise from her skin.

Those black pupils disappeared completely, leaving only a blood red.

"run!!"

The rocks beneath Cheng Xue's feet crumbled, and she was sent flying like a bullet.

Boom!

The mutated tiger had just opened its mouth when Cheng Xue punched it in the jaw.

The colossal beast, weighing several tons, was sent tumbling through the air and crashing heavily against the stone wall, causing rubble to fall from the cave ceiling.

The monster was enraged. It flipped over and slapped Cheng Xue away, then pounced and bit down on her head.

Cheng Xue dodged the attack with a heavy heart, seized the opportunity to jump onto the monster's head, and pulled out a dagger, stabbing it into its eyes!

puff!

Slurry splashed.

"Awooo—!!"

The monster was in agony and thrashed its head wildly, trying to slam Cheng Xue to the ground.

Using the momentum, Cheng Xue flipped in mid-air, locking her legs tightly around the monster's neck. She pulled out the dagger and plunged it into the second eye once more.

Once, twice, three times.

With all its eyes pierced, the monster lost its balance and fell to the ground.

Cheng Xue coughed up a mouthful of blood and seized the opportunity to finish him off.

Only after its massive head was smashed did the mutated tiger finally collapse to the ground, twitching a few times before falling still.

"Cough...cough cough..."

Cheng Xue knelt in a pool of blood, her full head of silver hair stained crimson.

She coughed violently, each cough bringing up large clumps of blood.

"Captain!" The fat man scrambled over, tears and snot mingling together.

"You guys go... don't worry about me..." Cheng Xue pushed the fat man away, her voice weak, "Tell Dr. Song what happened to us..."

"No! We'll go together!" the fat man roared, turning around. "Brother Lu, please do me a favor! You carry the captain, and I'll carry Big Dog!"

Lu Fan remained hidden in the corner.

Hearing the call, he stepped forward and carried Cheng Xue on his back.

It seems that this is all the methods they have.

However, before they even reached the cave entrance...

Roar—roar—

Three even more powerful tiger roars echoed outside the cave.

Three smaller, but equally covered in bone spurs, mutated tigers walked to the cave entrance, staring at the group with bloodthirsty eyes.

The fat man gasped, his face ashen: "It's over... we can't leave..."

Cheng Xue struggled to get off Lu Fan's back, her hands trembling as she reached for the inner pocket of her tactical vest, where there was the last spare dose of medicine.

"I can still...hold them off..."

She had just taken out the potion when it was snatched away by a strong, powerful hand.

Lu Fan casually tossed the blue potion to the fat man next to him.

"Alright, stop being so reckless! Another injection and you might die!"

Lu Fan released Cheng Xue and let her sit down against the rock wall.

He then moved his neck and made a cracking sound.

"Brother Lu, are you crazy!" The fat man's legs went weak with fright, and he immediately placed the unconscious dog next to Cheng Xue.

"Fatty! I just did a reading, you're destined for romance! You'll have a wife in three years!"

Lu Fan smiled and turned to look at the two people who were completely astonished.

"I'll make a move just this once, for the sake of that dry bread! Don't blink later, you'll look really cool!"
