Chapter 80 Crocodile Man
These crocodile-men looked strangely alike, all in human form, crawling on the ground, covered in a layer of dark green crocodile skin, with a long tail trailing behind their tailbone.
Its lower jaw is elongated and protrudes, with two rows of fangs. It has fierce eyes and looks ferocious. Its hands and feet have also turned into the shape of a crocodile, which is terrifying and frightening.
They crawled out of the shark enclosure and quickly found their prey.
“Mutants! So many mutants!” He Mengyun said in fear.
Everyone's expression changed, and their hands holding weapons trembled uncontrollably.
There were so many of them; they had never experienced anything like it before.
Ji Yuanzhou took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down: "Are you trying to take us all down with you?"
Miao Yin put away the alarm, replacing it with a Tang sword. She looked at Ji Yuanzhou and smiled slightly: "Total destruction? No, no, if one of us is destined to die, it will be you two."
As soon as the words were spoken, a crocodile-man pounced on them, clinging to the counter of the convenience store and opening its mouth.
Ji Yuanzhou suddenly stepped back to avoid it and crouched under the counter, so the one who suffered the consequences became Lu Shang, who was injured and had no time to dodge.
The crocodile-man bit his neck, and blood spurted from the wound, splashing onto the snow-white wall.
Ji Yuanzhou witnessed the entire process from below and felt a chill run down his spine. He realized that the other party was beyond saving, so he immediately crawled out from under the counter, not forgetting to pull Zhang Zhenzhen and Li Feng, who were already frozen in fear, along with them.
When disaster strikes, everyone scatters. The survival team, which had just been together, immediately fell apart after Lu Shang was bitten.
Wang Sinian took off running first, ignoring He Mengyun, and headed straight for the stairs.
He saw the roller shutter door in front of him, and without thinking, he lifted it up. When it was tall enough for one person to squeeze through, he immediately crawled over and then lowered the roller shutter door.
"It's safe...it's safe..."
He smiled with relief, then stood up from the ground. Turning his head, he saw the jellyfish-like man standing menacingly in front of him, his tentacles swarming wildly behind him.
……
Unlike Wang Sinian, Ji Yuanzhou didn't run up the stairs. Instead, he ran towards the starfish enclosure on the right, followed by the other members of the survival team, and then the crocodile man chasing after them.
He Mengyun's athletic ability was insufficient, and she quickly fell to the back, where the crocodile man bit her ankle.
"Ah!" She fell to the ground, blood gushing from her nose. In her panic, she grabbed Li Feng's trouser leg in front of her.
"Li Feng! Save me!" He Mengyun cried out as the crocodile man began to gnaw at her leg.
"Let go! Do you want to kill me?!" Li Feng was terrified. He kicked her away and ran off without even glancing at his new wife one last time.
"Li Feng! Li Feng! You will die a horrible death!!!" With her last hope shattered, He Mengyun screamed in despair as the crocodile man dragged her away, his ten fingers leaving hateful bloodstains on the ground.
With He Mengyun's attraction to the crocodile man, they finally caught their breath and ran up the escalator, passing through the seahorse pavilion and the tropical fish pavilion.
Fearing they would be chased by the mutants in other areas, they ran all the way to the third floor, where there were fewer large animals.
Ji Yuanzhou found a sightseeing fishing boat not far from the elevator entrance.
Although it is a scenic facility designed for tourists to take photos, it is very well constructed, and the cabins and doors can be opened.
Ji Yuanzhou opened the door, and the three of them crawled inside together, then immediately sealed off all the entrances and exits.
The crocodiles, having lost their prey near the ship, roared in discontent and paced back and forth on the fourth deck.
In the dark, enclosed space, they could only hear each other's heavy breathing and their own heartbeats pounding like drums.
……
In stark contrast to their disheveled running was the relaxed Miao Yin and Tu Hao.
The blazing flames gently surrounded them, forming a circular ring of fire that kept all danger at bay.
Aquatic creatures dare not approach the flames, but can only drool over them.
Tu Hao reached out to touch the black and red flames beside him, but before he could touch them, he felt the scorching heat.
Looking at his fingers, which were slightly red from the heat, he realized once again how powerful the other's supernatural abilities were.
"What kind of superpower is it this time?"
"It's best not to touch the 'Mi Huo' (a type of insect), as it can cause corrosion."
No wonder she was so confident; it turns out she has this ability, which makes killing her even more difficult.
Miao Yin looked around and pointed to a few of the crocodile-men, saying, "These few have crystal cores, kill them."
"This one belongs to me too?" Tu Hao asked.
"There are four in total. I'll give you half. If you don't work, I'll use you to feed them."
Tu Hao's lips twitched: "Zhou Bapi."
Mi Huo opened a gap, and Tu Hao went out through it, where he fought with the mutated humans that Miao Yin was pointing at.
The difference in combat ability between mutants with and without crystal nuclei is quite obvious.
While Tu Hao was fighting those mutant humans, Miao Yin also burned a few crocodile humans to death and slowly walked towards the seahorse pavilion.
When she stood at the bottom of the escalator, Tu Hao, covered in blood, caught up with her.
He tossed two crystal cores to Miao Yin, saying, "Here you go."
Miao Yin held the two green crystal cores in her hand, storing one in her spatial storage and keeping the other in her pocket for later use.
Ji Yuanzhou should be hiding on that fishing boat right now, she thought.
It's okay, she'll catch him.
……
Ji Yuanzhou listened intently to the sounds outside, his nerves on edge.
The group of crocodile men wandered around for a while, and when they found there was no more prey, they slowly crawled into the shadows, and their fishing boat was safe for the time being.
He breathed a sigh of relief, slid down, and sat down against the wooden plank.
"Everything's alright for now," he whispered to the other two.
Li Feng also breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Zhenzhen carefully approached Ji Yuanzhou and sat down next to him.
"Thank goodness, I thought I was going to die," she said in a trembling voice.
Seeing how frightened she was, Ji Yuanzhou, being a gentleman, comforted her, saying, "It's alright, we're safe now."
"It's good that you're here," she said.
Ji Yuanzhou sighed in the darkness: "Let's find a way out once my powers are restored."
Zhang Zhenzhen suddenly took his arm, and in the darkness, her eyes were filled with excitement and admiration as she looked at him.
"...What's wrong?" Ji Yuanzhou asked somewhat awkwardly.
Zhang Zhenzhen leaned closer to him and whispered, "Brother Yuanzhou, I've always thought you were quite handsome."
"……Thanks?"
Ji Yuanzhou didn't quite understand what the other party meant by saying this at this time.
"And what about you? What do you think of my looks?"
"...You're very beautiful too."
Ji Yuanzhou's upbringing made it difficult for him to say anything hurtful to a girl, but she was indeed quite pretty, the kind of girl that would make Hu Qing fall in love at first sight.
“Well…” Zhang Zhenzhen paused for a moment before saying shyly, “Since we both think the other is good, let’s be together.”
Ji Yuanzhou: ? ! !
