Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1523 - 637 Sea Beast

"What’s wrong?"

Seeing Cheng Yiyi’s face change drastically, everyone was a bit puzzled.

"Before the Apocalypse came, I served in the Navy Women’s Marine Corps in the coastal area..."

Cheng Yiyi explained with a complex expression.

"The reason I ended up at Changhe Base is that we encountered a lot of terrifying mutated sea creatures, which we call Sea Beasts. We were nearly wiped out by the Sea Beasts, with only a few personnel managing to escape..."

"Based on the current ratings, those Sea Beasts might very well have Level 3 or even Level 4 strength! And that was at the beginning of the Apocalypse... I can’t imagine how strong those Sea Beasts are now..."

"So, with the freshwater turning into seawater in the Rift, I have reason to suspect that the Rift is connected to the ocean. If that’s the case, those terrifying Sea Beasts could appear in the Rift and pose a threat to humans inland!"

Hearing Cheng Yiyi say this, everyone was shocked.

At the beginning of the Apocalypse, when zombies on land were generally Level 1, with a few at Level Two, those Sea Beasts had already reached Level 3 or even Level 4. Considering how fast they’ve evolved, how strong could those marine creatures be?

If these Sea Beasts come to the mainland, then what about the human Survivors? And there’s a Rift near Changhe Base, doesn’t that threaten the base’s safety?

However, someone quickly thought of an important issue.

"Commandor Cheng just said, those are all Sea Beasts, so as long as we avoid going near the Rift, wouldn’t we be safe?"

"But we need to collect water! Considering the current high temperatures, our base’s water supply definitely won’t last, we need to store a large amount of water. Unless we find another place to collect water, we’ll likely still have to go to the Rift..."

"That is indeed a problem..."

"We need to study this carefully..."

"..."

Hearing the discussion, Cheng Yiyi shook her head.

"You might have some misunderstandings, I never said that those Sea Beasts can only live in water."

"..."

Everyone was startled.

Gu Yun quickly asked:

"Those things can come onto land?"

"Yes, they usually live in the sea, but if there’s food on land, they will come ashore. From my previous experience, they can survive without water for two to three days with no problem! Though staying on land for a long time would diminish their Combat Power, they are still not something our human soldiers can contend with..."

"..."

There was some silence among the crowd.

If they can come ashore and still have strong combat abilities, that’s not good news for the entire Changhe Base. After all, the mutated creatures in the sea are too powerful!

"Let’s suspend the water collecting for a few days, then send people to carefully observe the situation of the Rift..."

After thinking it over, Gu Yun decided it was best not to go to the Rift for water collection. The safety of everyone is the top priority.

Take these few days to observe the Rift carefully, ideally find a way to automate the water collection, keeping humans away from the Rift. These Crystal Energy devices aren’t food for those mutated creatures, right?

"Yeah, that sounds good..."

Everyone agreed that it was a reasonable plan.

Cheng Yiyi walked over to Wang Tao and said:

"Wang Tao, can you help me investigate the Rift? Those Sea Beasts have left me with deep trauma..."

Although the water collection task was on hold, her Sixth Legion couldn’t just retreat. She wanted to investigate the Rift to see if there were Sea Beasts inside. The memory of the Sea Beasts destroying their base was still vivid, and she lacked confidence in her own strength, so she wanted Wang Tao’s escort.

"Okay."

Wang Tao nodded.

After listening to Cheng Yiyi, he became very interested in the Rift and the Sea Beasts. Even if Cheng Yiyi hadn’t mentioned it, he might have come to investigate. Not to mention it involved the safety of Changhe Base, so he agreed without hesitation.

"Phew—"

Seeing that Wang Tao agreed, Cheng Yiyi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

With Wang Tao by her side, her sense of security greatly increased.

"I need to think carefully about how to investigate. Although my previous unit was almost annihilated by the Sea Beasts, we also gained a lot of experience..."

Just as Cheng Yiyi was about to share some information about the Sea Beasts with Wang Tao, the Crystal Energy Phone in the office suddenly rang.

Gu Yun immediately picked it up, then suddenly his eyes widened.

Wang Tao and Cheng Yiyi exchanged glances, both noticing the concern in each other’s expressions. They both had keen hearing and clearly heard the content of Gu Yun’s phone conversation.

"...Okay, I got it."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Yun looked at everyone with a very grim face.

"No need to investigate anymore. The batch of Water Collectors and soldiers that went this morning have nearly been wiped out, with only a few managing to escape. The Survivors report that a giant Monster appeared in the Rift, devoured everyone on the shore in one gulp, and then submerged again. The few who were slow and far away noticed everything and narrowly escaped..."

"Damn!"

Hearing this, everyone else cursed under their breath.

Without a doubt, this must be the Sea Beasts that Cheng Yiyi just mentioned.

We just discussed the problem with the Sea Beasts and prayed there wouldn’t be any, yet in an instant, the Sea Beasts appear and devour everyone on the shore!

It’s truly a case of whatever you fear, will come to pass!

"I’ll take a look."

Wang Tao immediately turned around.

"I’m coming too!"

Cheng Yiyi promptly followed.

"Alright, thank you both. I’ll issue a notice for people to stay away from the Rift area!"

...

While Wei Zhenguo and the others are still pursuing their Ascension to Level 6, Wang Tao obviously can’t take them with him. After asking Jiang Shixue to look after them at home, Wang Tao, along with Cheng Yiyi and Lightning, boarded the Golden Eagle and left Changhe Base immediately.
