Flood Apocalypse: Starting with a God-Tier Fishing Rod

Lu Fan let out a long sigh of relief, rushed out of the driver's seat, gripped the control stick with both hands, and stared intently at the blue light.

Now, thanks to the modifications made with deep-sea enhancers, he can easily catch high-quality supplies.

The blue one shouldn't be too difficult either!

The faint light floated on the crest of the wave.

"Come on! Don't be shy, let me see!! My boat is quite big!"

After a few minutes of struggle

Lu Fan flicked his wrist, mobilizing all the strength in his body.

Whoosh-!

A ball of azure light burst forth from the water and landed steadily in Lu Fan's palm.

The light faded, revealing its true form.

It was a black exoskeleton arm armor with an extremely futuristic design.

[Fishing successful! Obtained - Exoskeleton Thermal Mantis Knife x1]

[Type: Hidden Item]

[Rarity: Tech-grade]

[Gained 15 proficiency points and 3 spirit points]

【当前垂钓次数：61/100、熟练值：173/200、精神值：22/30】

[Description: Individual tactical exoskeleton arm armor. Constructed entirely of deep-sea matte black nanocrystalline high-entropy alloy, coated with a single-molecule carbon coating for corrosion resistance and high-pressure resistance. The surface integrates streamlined heat dissipation grilles and micro-hydraulic pipelines!]

【Function 1: Rapid Launch: Triggered by a specific angle of the wrist muscles, it can instantly launch a 45cm long, recurved mantis-shaped blade!】

[Function Two: Thermal Cutting Blade: After activating the energy core button, a 3000-degree high-temperature plasma will be generated at the edge of the blade, capable of cutting most physical entities!]

Lu Fan looked at the thing in his hand, his Adam's apple bobbing.

He racked his brains but couldn't find a word to describe his feelings at that moment, finally managing to stammer out, "Holy shit!"

This is simply amazing—an amazing mother opening the door for even more amazing things. It's incredibly amazing.

In the early days of the apocalypse, when everyone else was still fighting each other with kitchen knives and steel bars.

He equipped himself with cyber weapons to launch a devastating attack!

How are other people supposed to live like this?

Lu Fan couldn't wait to put the exoskeleton arm armor on his right arm.

Click.

The adaptive lining inside the arm armor tightened instantly, wrapping tightly around the forearm like a second skin.

That cool, calming metallic texture gives people a great sense of security.

Although it looks heavy, you can hardly feel its weight when you wear it.

"Try the mantis knife!"

Lu Fan took a deep breath and mimicked the instructions, his wrist muscles tensing sharply.

Sizzle—!

A faint yet deadly hissing sound rang out.

Lu Fan didn't even see the blade's movement clearly; he only felt a flash of black light before his eyes.

A black, barbed blade shot out from above the back of the hand, precisely slicing through a few drops of rain.

He tried to reach out and touch the extremely thin blade.

"hiss!"

The moment my fingertip touched the blade, before I even felt the pain, a bloody gash appeared.

Fortunately, it has a strong self-healing ability, and the wound healed quickly before any blood could flow out.

"It's too sharp!"

Not satisfied, Lu Fan pulled out the carbon steel crowbar that had accompanied him in battle for many days, gripped the handle, and swung his mantis knife down with his right hand.

Clang!

There was no resistance whatsoever, just like cutting a piece of tofu.

The solid carbon steel crowbar, about the thickness of a thumb, was broken in two, the cut as smooth as a mirror.

Lu Fan gasped.

If this were to strike a person, or even a mutated beast... it would be as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

Then, he fumbled for the control panel below his wrist and pressed a red activation button.

hum-

A low buzzing sound rang out.

The edge of the black blade instantly glowed with a golden-red incandescent light, distorting the surrounding air.

A wave of scorching heat rushed towards him, forcing Lu Fan to stretch out his arms to get away.

The raindrops outside fell on the blade, and before they even touched the solid object, they made a "sizzle" sound and instantly vaporized into white mist.

Lu Fan was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

He glanced at the energy bar inside the arm armor, which displayed several bars of dark blue power.

"Electrically powered?"

Lu Fan frowned and quickly turned off the thermal mode.

He has nowhere to charge his device right now, so he has to save the thermal mode for emergencies. Normally, the Mantis Blade itself is enough to handle most troubles!

Click.

The blade retracts.

Lu Fan touched the cold metal arm armor, his lips curling into a wild, uncontrollable smile.

Just then.

The golden light beside him suddenly began to flicker violently, at an increasingly faster frequency.

The system notification sound exploded in my mind.

[Decomposition is nearing completion!]

Lu Fan didn't have time to admire his new treasure; he quickly wrapped his raincoat tighter and rushed towards the muddy beach.

boom--!!

The shipwreck that had been lying across the coastline instantly transformed into countless golden specks of light and vanished.

Immediately afterwards, a pile of materials of various sizes, like a small mountain, fell in an orderly fashion onto the mudflat.

Disassembly successful!

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the following materials and resources:]

[Fine Grade Reinforced Timber x 300]

[Premium Grade Special Steel x 300]

【Premium-grade, high-strength insulated glass × 150】

[Premium-grade, high-performance integrated circuit boards x 25]

[Premium-grade medium-sized marine engine set x1]

[Premium Grade Insulating Rubber x 100]

[Premium quality metal wire x 20]

【…】

Lu Fan stood in front of this pile of supplies, his eyes unable to take it all in.

With so many high-quality materials laid out before us, even our spatial rings can't hold them all. What more could we ask for?!

Second Battalion Commander, take the Italian cannon away!

Send me a tank! Blow up that son of a bitch!

[The current materials available meet the minimum requirements for a core upgrade!]

[Upgrade Plan: Professional-grade Amphibious Self-Sustaining Vessel (Level-2)]

[Note: The more materials used in this upgrade, the larger the scale of the upgraded hull will be!]

[Upgrade now?]

The system notification tone had just finished.

Lu Fan didn't hesitate at all.

Since we can't take all these materials with us, we might as well use them all!

Of course, the bigger the ship, the better. In the future, greenhouses, farms, and even industrial integrated systems will all take up space.

"Leaving aside the materials needed to build the greenhouse..."

He waved his hand dismissively: "All the rest in, let's upgrade!"

hum!

The small wooden boat suddenly rose into the air, bursting forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling golden light.

Steel, wood, rubber on the ground...

All the supplies were swept up by an invisible force, turning back into specks of light, and poured into the small boat in mid-air.

[Beep! Selected materials consumed, upgrade begins...]

Estimated time: 10 hours and 59 minutes

A golden cocoon of light quickly took shape, completely enveloping the originally simple wooden boat, with only a vague glimpse of the earth-shattering reconstruction taking place inside.

Lu Fan let out a long breath and plopped down on the wet sand.

It's done!!

All we have to do now is stay here and wait for dawn tomorrow, and a real safe house at sea will be born!

He pulled a can of Coke from his ring, ready to treat himself.

Sudden.

Whoosh!

An unusual sound of water came from the sea ahead.

Lu Fan looked up alertly.

On the mudflats, a pink figure was struggling to emerge from the water.

"Eek..."

Xiao Bai's voice was weak, filled with anxious sobs.

It swam with all its might to the shallows, but before most of its body could even emerge from the water, it collapsed helplessly in the mud.

Lu Fan rushed over, his pupils instantly contracting.

Xiao Bai's originally smooth and pink skin was now covered with dense lacerations, as if it had been scratched by some sharp claws.

The most shocking thing was its single horn on its head—it was half broken off.

Blue-gold blood was gushing out from the jagged, broken surface, staining the seawater beneath them.

"noob!!"

Lu Fan threw away the cola in his hand, rushed into the sea, and picked it up in one gulp.

"Eek..."

Xiao Bai barely opened its eyes, rubbed against Lu Fan's palm, and had almost no strength to make a sound.

Lu Fan's hands were trembling.

His eyes were filled with murderous intent!

"Who did this...?"
