Flood Apocalypse: Starting with a God-Tier Fishing Rod

Upon hearing this, everyone froze on the spot.

One thousand meters under the sea! ?

This is a forbidden zone for humans!

How did they get here?

Several homeless people huddled in a corner, their emotions instantly collapsing and exploding.

"It's over... there's no going back..."

"What should I do? I don't even have a wife..."

"I don't want to die here!"

Marcel, clearly annoyed, yelled, "Shut up!"

"Scream one more time and I'll send you on your way right now!"

He flexed his wrists, his gaze sweeping over several homeless people.

No one dared to make a sound; they could only sob quietly.

Among the A-level mutants, a handsome man adjusted his glasses and spoke calmly.

"Don't panic, at least we're still alive! You know, in an air chamber a thousand meters underwater, if the air pressure were balanced, our lungs would have exploded long ago! But here, we can not only breathe, but we haven't experienced nitrogen narcosis either. This means there's some unique oxygen supply and pressure stabilization mechanism here!"

He turned around and glanced at the people present.

"Besides the six of us Level A and one Level B mutant, there are also six refugees and two islanders!"

"Before we understand the situation, we should follow the emergency escape manual for Xihuan Mountain and prioritize sending the displaced people out to collect data so I can analyze escape plans!"

That's all.

The other mutants nodded knowingly.

In this cave filled with unknown dangers, refugees are the cheapest expendable commodity.

"I agree! Ling Xiao, then who do you think we should choose?" Ma Saibo asked.

Zhao Meng, who was squatting in the corner, suddenly laughed. He pointed at Lu Fan, who was leaning against the corner, with a playful look in his eyes.

"Isn't there a perfect example? He cheated during the physical test and even punched through a steel plate! Let him give it a try!"

Marcel glanced at Lu Fan, his brow furrowing slightly: "You know this kid?"

"Brother Ma, don't you know?"

Zhao Meng leaned closer, lowered his voice, and said with a hint of schadenfreude, "This is the kid who kicked your brother away before!"

"What?!"

Marcel's face twitched suddenly, and veins bulged on his forehead.

He strode up to Lu Fan, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

"You dare touch my brother? You've got a death wish!"

Lu Fan leaned against the rock wall, tossing a small pebble in his hand, without even glancing at him.

This A-level mutant's strength seems to be about the same as Tang Haikang's, or even a little weaker.

That's simply not enough!

"Wait a moment!"

Ling Xiao reached out and stopped the enraged Marseille.

"This kid looks sturdy, let's save him for last. Use that one for now!"

Ling Xiao pointed his finger at a gaunt man in the corner.

The man, wearing a tattered life jacket, knelt down with a thud upon hearing this, kowtowing repeatedly.

"Please! Don't choose me! I have a wife and children... Please!"

"You talk too much nonsense!"

Marseille snorted coldly, grabbed the man by the collar, and dragged him to the only exit of the air chamber, above a pool of water.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of your wife!"

"No--!!"

Before the man could finish shouting, Masaibo pressed down and pushed his lower body directly into the water.

puff.

A muffled sound, similar to squeezing a tomato.

The man's screams instantly turned sharp and mournful.

Marseille lifted him up in confusion.

The scene before them made everyone gasp in shock.

The man's legs... were gone.

To be precise, it was flattened.

Subcutaneous tissue was everted, hanging like mud on broken bones, with red and yellow fluids flowing all over the ground.

"Holy crap? This water pressure..."

Marcel's hand trembled, and he disgustedly threw the whole man into the pool.

Gudong.

The moment he entered the water, it was as if the man had been thrown into a hydraulic press.

Before he could even struggle, he was instantly crushed into a twisted mass of flesh by the terrifying water pressure and swept away by the undercurrent, leaving only a pool of blood.

The cave was deathly silent.

Everyone felt a tightness in their throats and difficulty breathing.

This is the oppressive force of the ocean at a depth of one thousand meters!

After this incident...

The group could only try to find a way out of the room.

They discovered that the rock walls here were not as hard as granite.

It actually has a feel similar to pumice.

With a little force, you can pry off a piece; inside, there are tiny air pores.

If we had a tool like a shovel, we should be able to dig a road upwards.

The problem is that, apart from diving equipment, there are no suitable tools available here.

Soon, the group spent two days in suffocating fear.

Lu Fan spent most of his time pretending to be dead, observing from the sidelines and trying to minimize his presence.

After all, with these A-level mutants coming up with solutions, he only needs to follow behind and reap the benefits.

"We have the results!"

Ling Xiao's voice broke the silence.

As a unique, intelligent mutant, he has reached a conclusion through various measurements and calculations over the past two days.

"These specially supplied beta-type enhancement drugs from the Song family can significantly increase muscle density and bone strength, and also maintain internal stress!"

Ling Xiao waved a vial of orange potion in his hand. "With our special diving suits, we can theoretically withstand this water pressure for half an hour! If it's an A-level mutant, the time will double."

Marcel said impatiently, "What's the use of theory? Someone has to try it!"

All eyes turned once again to the group of refugees who were starving and on the verge of death.

A few minutes later.

Two slightly stronger but unlucky guys were dragged out.

They were forced to inject the drug by Masaibo and others.

Then he put on a heavy wetsuit and tied a special diving rope around his waist.

"Swim out later! Report back what you see!"

Marcel grabbed one end of the rope and threatened menacingly, "If you try anything funny, I'll pull you back and beat you to death!!"

Upon hearing this, the two men trembled and dived into the water.

This time it wasn't crushed.

Time passed second by second.

About five minutes later, the rope in his hand suddenly began to shake violently, a sign that danger was imminent.

"pull!"

At Ma Saibo's command, several mutants worked together to pull the rope back.

Whoosh!

The two refugees were dragged out of the water and lay sprawled on the ground like dead fish, panting heavily.

They were uninjured and had all their limbs intact.

Ling Xiao stepped forward and ripped off their masks: "What's down there? Where's the exit?"

The two refugees were deathly pale, their pupils dilated to the extreme, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying.

"Tunnel...tunnel..."

The one on the left was chattering and rambling incoherently, "There's a big hole down there...leading to the outside..."

Everyone's faces lit up with joy.

This means there's a way to escape!

"But..." The man suddenly grabbed Ling Xiao's arm, his voice trembling even more, "It's so dark outside... so big... and..."

"What else?!"

Marcel got impatient, grabbed his collar, and spat in his face. "Stop dawdling! Speak up!"

"Light... there is light..."

Before he finished speaking, the man's eyes suddenly became bloodshot and turned completely red.

He grinned, as if he were laughing or crying, and made a strange "clucking" sound from his throat.

"In that abyss... there is a light... watching me..."

Before he could finish speaking...

boom!

A muffled thud.

The man's head exploded without warning!

Red and white substances scattered and splashed, spraying Marcelo's face.

Holy crap!

Marseille screamed in fright, abruptly releasing his grip, and the headless corpse slid limply to the ground.

"I didn't touch him!"

Before anyone could react...

boom!

The vagrant next to him, who had been staring blankly, suddenly had his head explode without warning.

Blood splattered on the rock wall and slowly flowed down.

This scene was so bizarre that it sent chills down my spine.

Ling Xiao frowned, but calmly squatted down to examine the lower half of the corpse.

"The medication is still working, and the body inside the diving suit is normal! Only the exposed head exploded..."

Ling Xiao stood up, pushed up his blood-stained glasses, and began to deduce.

"The moment I took off my mask after leaving the deep water, my intracranial pressure spiked to a critical point..."

"They probably saw something they shouldn't have seen in the abyss..."

"That stuff... can affect the brain!"

The cave fell silent again, deathly still.

In other words, there's a path outside the cave, but a monster guards the entrance—a monster so terrifying it'd make your head explode!

Isn't this a sure-fire way to die?!

Ling Xiao slowly turned around.

His cold gaze swept across the crowd and landed directly on Lu Fan and the other two refugees.

"The data isn't enough!"

He pointed to Lu Fan and the other two.

"Choose two more people to go out. This time, I want to find out exactly what that glowing monster is!"
