Flood Apocalypse: Starting with a God-Tier Fishing Rod

Before Chen Yang's slow-witted brain could even react...

Lu Fan suddenly reached his free left hand back, his five fingers loosely clenched.

hum!

A blood-stained woodcutter's knife reappeared in his hand without warning.

He flicked it back with his hand.

puff.

The sharp blade tore through Chen Yang's flesh, almost piercing his entire abdominal cavity.

Lu Fan pulled out the knife expressionlessly, and dark red blood spurted from the wound, splattering all over the ground.

"Uh...ha..."

Chen Yang clutched his stomach and knelt on the ground, half of his intestines spilling out.

He looked at Lu Fan in horror, as if he were looking at a monster.

How exactly did that wood-chopping knife come to be?

Without wasting words, Lu Fan endured the headache, straddled Chen Yang, and slashed at his throat.

Finishing off the enemy is the first rule of survival in the apocalypse!

Before the knife even fell, Chen Yang suddenly revealed a row of bloody teeth and roared.

"...If we can't survive...then let's die together!"

He instantly pulled out a detonator covered in duct tape from his pocket and pressed it down hard.

Those are homemade mines used to blast fish.

Previously, when we were inspecting the yacht, Zhuang Niu secretly stuck it next to the fuel tank!

"Hold!"

Lu Fan's pupils contracted sharply, and his movements quickened.

Just as Chen Yang's throat was severed, a scorching wave of air, accompanied by a roar, erupted from the bottom of the ship's hold.

Boom!!

The loud explosion nearly caused deafness.

The driver's cab was blown into the air, with shards of glass and metal fragments flying everywhere like shrapnel.

Lu Fan was thrown into the air by the blast wave, rolled twice, and fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, towering flames ignited the leaking diesel fuel, engulfing half of the deck in flames.

The ship creaked and twisted, then began to list violently.

Water is coming in from the bottom!

Ignoring his discomfort, Lu Fan gritted his teeth and pulled a bunch of keys from Chen Yang's pocket.

He staggered toward the bow of the boat and cut the ropes binding Zhang Weiguo and his daughter.

"Let's go! Get on the yacht quickly!"

Zhang Xiaomin was completely terrified until Lu Fan shouted, which brought her back to her senses.

She cried as she helped Zhang Weiguo, whose head was covered in blood, to his feet, stumbled over the gunwale, and jumped onto the gray-white yacht.

"Lu Fan! Get on board quickly! The fishing boat is sinking!"

Zhang Xiaomin stood on the deck of the yacht, anxiously reaching out her hand.

The stern of the fishing boat was sinking rapidly, and seawater flooded in instantly.

Lu Fan stood in the shadows where the firelight and rain intertwined, and shook his head.

He didn't look at Zhang Xiaomin, but instead set his sights on the raft, a bold idea forming in his mind.

"What time is it now?" Lu Fan asked anxiously.

Zhang Xiaomin was stunned. Why ask about the time at a time like this?

"11...11:55! Hurry up! We'll be late if we don't leave now!"

"Five minutes left..."

Lu Fan muttered to himself, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

He took out the pack of Dragon Brand cigarettes he had caught earlier from his pocket and, from a distance of several meters, accurately tossed it into Zhang Xiaomin's arms.

"This pack of cigarettes should be enough for you to exchange for a lot of supplies at the outpost. Consider it repaying your father's favor!"

"Head west to the Xihuan Mountain stronghold, and don't look back!"

After saying that, Lu Fan turned around and stopped looking at her. Instead, he dragged his tired body toward the raft.

"Lu Fan! You're insane! You'll die!"

Zhang Xiaomin shouted in a tearful voice.

But seeing Lu Fan's resolute back, and then looking at her father, whose breath was weak in her arms, she stomped her foot hard and went into the yacht's cockpit.

With the engine roaring, the yacht cut through the waves, carrying the father and daughter into the dark, rainy night.

……

On the sea, only the burning fishing boat and Lu Fan remained.

He dragged the raft to a temporarily safe bow position and gripped the ropes tightly with both hands.

boom!

Another deafening explosion.

A burning piece of sheet metal flew over, grazing Lu Fan's scalp, and slammed into the wooden board next to him, emitting a sizzling, burnt smell.

The ship is listing at more than 45 degrees.

The stern was almost completely submerged.

Lu Fan's heart pounded, he silently counted the time in his mind, and stared intently at the data panel in his field of vision.

23:59:58……

23:59:59……

00:00:00!

[Today's disassembly count has been updated]

Lu Fan suddenly slammed his right hand onto the worktable beneath him.

He gripped the sinking deck of the fishing boat tightly with his left hand, letting out a roar.

"break down!!"

Om-!

A golden light, more dazzling than ever before, burst forth from the bottom of the worktable.

The light spread rapidly along the deck, instantly enveloping the steel fishing boat, which was over ten meters long.

The enormous object, which was sinking, suddenly froze in mid-air, motionless.

Immediately afterwards, in this space where the laws of physics failed, the ship began to disintegrate.

Rusty iron plates, burning wood, shattered glass... all matter transformed into countless tiny specks of light, frantically surging into the core of the worktable.

A dozen minutes later.

The light dissipated.

The sea was completely empty.

The fishing boat, weighing several tens of tons, disappeared completely.

The bodies of Chen Yang and Zhuang Niu, having lost their support, floated on the water like two garbage bags, drifting away with the waves.

Lu Fan sat on the lonely little wooden raft, looking at a pile of essential materials floating above the worktable.

Disassembly successful!

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

【20 pieces of household-grade, anti-corrosion wood panels】

[10 pieces of residential-grade, construction-grade iron plates]

[Life-grade tempered glass x 5]

[Premium-grade copper core coil x2]

[Premium Grade Diesel Fuel (50-liter Drum) x1]

[Special Part: Damaged Fishing Boat Diesel Engine (Repairable) x1]

"That's all?"

Lu Fan frowned as he looked at these things.

Such a big ship, and all you can take apart are these two piles?

[Note: The primary workbench has limited power and can only perform refined disassembly; it cannot be completely disassembled!]

It turns out it was purified.

Well, compared to a pile of scrap metal, having these materials is not bad!

With a thought, Lu Fan stuffed all the materials into his spatial ring.

At this moment, because the mental value has reached 7 points, the corresponding space has also expanded to 7 cubic meters.

The heavy diesel engine took up most of the space, filling it to the brim and almost leaving no room for the rest of the materials.

At this moment, the worktable began to vibrate again.

[Materials detected meet the requirements for the current vehicle upgrade core]

[Upgrade Option: Basic Survival Boat (Level-1)]

[Upgrade now?]

Lu Fan swallowed hard, shivering in the cold wind.

The headache from the fever made his vision a little blurry.

In this awful weather, if I get soaked in the rain any longer, I'll die sooner or later.

"upgrade!"

[Beep! All materials consumed, upgrade begins... Estimated time: 10 minutes]

ka ka ka-

A metallic clanging sound rang out.

The worktable spewed out a ball of light again, but this time it was no longer an ethereal light, but a real reorganization of matter.

Lu Fan could clearly see the iron plates and wood from the spatial ring fly out of thin air and merge into the raft beneath his feet.

The originally loose, rotten wooden planks were quickly compacted and stretched, and a thick layer of black anti-corrosion coating was automatically applied to the bottom.

The raft began to widen and lengthen.

What was originally a foothold of only two or three square meters has rapidly expanded to about ten square meters.

On both sides of the ship's hull, sturdy, corrosion-resistant wooden planks automatically rise up, and are even wrapped with a layer of sheet metal, forming a half-meter-high railing.

The most amazing thing is the center of the ship.

The wooden planks stacked up automatically in the light.

A small driver's cab, about 2 meters square, rose from the ground.

Life-grade tempered glass automatically and seamlessly integrates into the window frame....

Ten minutes later, the ship's light faded.

The dilapidated raft that drifted with the current disappeared.

Instead, a steel and wooden boat with a rugged aesthetic was erected!

Its bottom is deeper, making it more stable in the water, and its half-iron, half-wood structure makes it look like a miniature version of an armored amphibious vehicle.

Lu Fan couldn't wait to push open the thick wooden door and climb into the driver's seat.

The world is quiet.

The thick wooden walls and glass shielded the area from the wind and rain.

The driver's cab is not large.

The left-hand control panel currently only has an empty rudder and a basic worktable.

On the right side is a single bed board made of anti-corrosion wood.

Although the overall conditions are simple, it is very dry and safe!

Lu Fan leaned against the door panel, his body slid down the wooden wall, and collapsed to the ground.

Looking at this world that belonged to him, Lu Fan, who had experienced betrayal and rebirth, felt his eyes well up with tears.
