Calamity Island: Endless Trials

Chapter 181 The Monster of the Waterworks
Zhang Tiandao's last words brought the other people in the car back to their senses and looked out of the car window one after another.

The surging group of zombies did not stop, heading in the same direction, and that direction... was the waterworks in the distance.

Looking over from the angle of the RV, everyone saw the dark mutated sparrows, which continued to intercept the zombie army outside the circle.

But now, it's different from before.

The circle began to shrink inward, and more corpses piled up!
In the original army of zombies, there were one or two mutated zombies out of about a thousand ordinary zombies. Now, there is one mutated zombie in almost a hundred zombies!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the mutated sparrows from the waterworks frantically attacked the zombie army trying to enter the "forbidden area".

Zombies have also made corresponding changes.

Ordinary zombies would only charge forward, but many mutated zombies left the main force, either going around and acting alone, or rushing in groups.

There are masterminds behind them, trying to break through here.

However, the zombies still failed to break through the line of defense!
Because these mutant sparrows are not vegetarian!
Facing the army of zombies, they suicidal attack, or group attack, stopped the zombie group in a daze!

But at this time, Tang Jiumin and others also gradually discovered that this group of mutated sparrows was not invincible.

Whenever mutant sparrows attack muscular zombies with strong defenses, or other mutant zombies, they will also suffer losses.

At this time, not only were there corpses of zombies on the ground, but more and more corpses of mutated sparrows appeared.

This is normal.

After all, the mutated sparrow is always a flesh body, no matter how strong it is, there is a limit. If they peck at zombies continuously, they will inevitably be killed and injured, turning into a ball of rotten meat and falling to the ground.

There are seas of corpses everywhere, black blood everywhere, and the air is filled with a disgusting smell of blood.

Not long after, the army of zombies advanced a distance of about [-] meters towards the waterworks, that is to say, they narrowed the circular "forbidden zone" by [-] meters.

In the caravan, Tang Jiumin finally opened his sleepy eyes. He immediately looked at E Sihui next to him and nodded.

E Sihui understood instantly. He had already obtained Tang Jiumin's steps in the whole plan in advance, and realized that it was time for him to come in handy.

So, E Sigui moved his arm, put the handbrake off, put the gear on, and drove forward!
The RV moves at a slow pace.

Navigating through so many dead bodies is undoubtedly difficult, but fortunately they were traveling in an RV.The huge wheels rolled over the corpses below, and they were able to move forward a little bit.

The speed of the RV was very slow, but it was getting closer and closer to the defense line, that is, the invisible line of defense that was attacked by the mutated sparrow.

During this process, the caravan is surrounded by zombies moving towards the waterworks, which makes people feel scalp tingling.

E Sigui was far less calm than he appeared on the surface.

The knuckles of his fingers holding the steering wheel turned white, but he never deviated from the route of the RV.

While the others watched this scene quietly, holding their breath and concentrating, all of them were extremely nervous.

As long as the zombies change their targets, everyone will die here.

...except Tang Jiumin.

The man calmly watched the caravan getting closer and closer to the defense line of the "forbidden zone" and the waterworks, and suddenly smiled.

He wasn't worried about the zombies, the closer they were to the water plant, the less the zombies would care about them.

Although I don't know what is inside the water plant, I can be sure that it is definitely a...

Big treasure.

The closer you get to the waterworks, the more bodies there are on the ground, and the more resistance the caravan faces.Logically speaking, the speed of the caravan will slow down, but in fact...

The caravan was moved by the wave of zombies. Although the car itself lacked power, it was pushed forward by external force without any loss of speed.

I don't know how long it took, about an hour or two?

In the end, the RV followed the army of zombies and kept approaching the depths of the waterworks.

Slowly, Tang Jiumin and others discovered that something was not right on the ground.

Especially the three people with high perception, Tang Jiumin, Liu Ziyun, and Cheng Zhi, they couldn't help but look at each other when they saw the bloodshot traces on the ground.

They were right.

Bloodstains?
It's not like, after all, there are all the way here, what kind of creature can shed so much blood?

The doubts in the hearts of several people did not last long.

Because in the waterworks, this blood-like existence increased, and even a thick layer appeared on the ground. It didn't look like blood, but like moss grown from flesh and blood.

Seeing this scene, Tang Jiumin subconsciously raised his head and looked forward.

The lake is getting closer and closer, so there is almost no need to worry too much. The fleshy moss on the ground is related to the lake.

Soon, everyone got closer to the lake, only to realize that the lake they saw before was actually a huge reservoir being built by the waterworks.

But now, the deep pit of the reservoir is full of viscous liquid.It's not blood, but fleshy liquid, very scary and weird.

The zombie army did not stop, and kept approaching the direction of the pit.

"E Sigui, stop."

Suddenly, Tang Jiumin ordered E Sigui who was next to him to stop, with an unusually solemn expression.

He noticed that from that direction, there was a sense of crisis that made his heart palpitate.

"Understood." E Sihui immediately stepped on the brake, pulled up the handbrake, and brought the RV to a smooth stop.

At this time, the zombies in the front row had already approached the deep pit infinitely. Because it was filled with liquid, Tang Jiumin and others regarded it as a small lake when they looked at it from a distance.

Everyone watched this scene nervously.

No one knew why the zombie army came here.

Just as a group of people were making various guesses, a series of blisters appeared on the surface of the fleshy water in the deep pit. Before they could react, a huge water column shot up from the inside.

slam-la-

When the water subsided, a soft-bodied creature resembling an octopus floated up in the lake.

However, this is an enhanced version of the octopus.

There's a disgusting, tumor-like thing hanging from the octopus' head.

There are four eyes on its face, which are located in four directions, and there are so many tentacles that are intertwined.

Inside the car, there was a commotion.

"Is this the man behind the water plant?" Chen Min was full of doubts and asked uncertainly.

Before anyone else could answer, there was a new movement on the side of the mutated octopus.

As soon as it emerged from the water, it waved its tentacles and sent a bunch of zombies flying away.

What's more, the tentacles accurately swept away some zombies and dragged them to its bloody maw.

The mutated octopus swallowed the zombie's mouth and chewed continuously, making creaking sounds, while the other mouths made bursts of howling, piercing and sharp sounds that made one's scalp numb.

When Tang Jiumin saw it, his eyes flashed.

There is no doubt that the mutated octopus is deterring zombies.

This monster is really deformed, it has more than one mouth.

While everyone was watching, the octopus continued to howl strangely, as if it wanted to frighten the zombies around.

But to put it bluntly, its howling is not a sonic attack, and there is no substantial damage.

"Roar!"

"Roar!!!"

The zombies also roared back, rushing towards the mutated octopus!

Tang Jiumin and the others temporarily witnessed the battle between the two sides as bystanders!
The mutated octopus is extremely ferocious.

At the beginning, the zombies flocked to the huge mutant octopus, but before they really got close to each other, they were overwhelmed by the overwhelming thick tentacles.

The extremely flexible tentacles of the mutated octopus can quickly repel those zombies every time, no matter whether it is ordinary zombies or mutated zombies, no one is spared.

At this time, the palm of the hand evolved into an agile zombie in the shape of a hook, rushed from the pile of zombies, and went straight to the mutant octopus!

Facing this agile mutant zombie, the octopus pulled out a tentacle, like lightning, and slammed it down on the zombie!
Can you dodge it?
of course can.

The agile mutated zombie suddenly changed direction and accelerated. When the tentacles were about to hit it, the whole body leaned backwards, almost passing the tentacles.

Dodge!
In this way, the mutated zombie is one step further away from the mutated octopus, and finally it is about to reach the octopus!
however……

The rough surface of the water was once again stirring up countless waves!
The mutated octopus pulled out more tentacles from the water, and four or five tentacles attacked the mutated zombie in unison, and even blocked it from different directions, making it impossible for the mutated zombie to escape!

In the next second, the mutated zombie dodged the tentacles in front of it, but was hit on the head by the last tentacle, turning into a pulp on the spot.

It's just that at the last moment, its sharp claws also caught the octopus, gouged out a large piece of flesh and blood from the latter, and fell to the ground with a snap.

Seeing this, both Liu Ziyun and Tang Jiumin couldn't help raising their eyebrows, and had a rough judgment on the strength of both parties.

Although the mutated octopus is terrifying, it will also be injured in the face of a tactical attack from a sea of ​​zombies...

It just seems like it will take a little while.
No, not right!

Suddenly, Tang Jiumin, Liu Ziyun, and others stared at the injured part of the mutated octopus.

The part that had just been attacked by the zombies, when the octopus turned to deal with other zombies, it slowly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When the mutated octopus turned around completely, the wound was completely healed!

The entire recovery process only takes three or two seconds!
"How did you recover so quickly..." Zhang Tiandao let out a low cry.

On the side, Tang Jiumin and Liu Ziyun looked at the lake almost at the same time.

They hadn't noticed any difference before, but in the few seconds just now, they clearly found that the mutated octopus was constantly absorbing the flesh-like layer of fat in the water.

The reason why the lake is blood-red is that the surface is covered with a layer of flesh-like liquid, which is less dense than water, and all of it floats on the water.

Liu Ziyun couldn't help but said, "Tang Jiumin, do you know what this is?"

Tang Jiumin shook his head, but he said, "Although I don't know... But the current situation is very clear. This monster has been occupying the lake for this layer of flesh-like liquid, or... coagulated fat."

"It can speed up recovery when injured, and nine out of ten can also be used to strengthen itself, so the monster is reluctant to leave here."

Tang Jiumin looked away from the water surface and looked up at the head of the mutated octopus.

In fact, the most terrifying and ugly part of this monster, apart from the densely packed tentacles, are the two wriggling large sarcoids on its head.

Hiss...something is wrong.

Tang Jiumin frowned slightly. When he stared at the sarcoma, he found a very uncomfortable feeling in his mind, as if his mind had been affected.

illusion?

No, it's a sarcoma problem!

As time passed, Tang Jiumin suddenly went into a trance, and at this moment, an invisible voice ordered him to attack those zombies!

He suddenly came back to his senses, and immediately looked away, breaking out in a cold sweat!
Almost lost track.

That thing is a big problem.

"Tang Jiumin, do you feel that? There is something wrong with those two sarcomas. I just wanted to attack the zombies!" At this time, he even heard Liu Ziyun whisper.

"That's right!" Tang Jiumin nodded, "It seems that this is the key to controlling the mutated sparrows. Perhaps, the thing in the water is the source of the evolution of creatures, which is different from the evolution of zombies."

"However." Tang Jiumin took a quick glance at the two sarcoid tumors, and looked away, "This kind of evolution is nothing compared to the evolutionary variation of zombies."

What he said made a group of people agree with him deeply.

"Then what should we do?" Liu Ziyun hurriedly asked the next question, and in his opinion, it was also the most important question.

"Perhaps..." Tang Jiumin frowned as he looked at the two sides fighting.

Facing the crowd of zombies, the mutated octopus, no matter how strong it is alone, can only defend itself.

The surrounding zombies couldn't approach it for a while, but in the end, the one who couldn't hold on was probably the mutated octopus.

Thinking of this, Tang Jiumin shook his head, not holding out much hope.

Seeing Tang Jiumin shaking his head, Liu Ziyun said in disappointment:
"I remember I mentioned in the last trial that by defeating this kind of boss, you should be able to get the mutation spar, which is very helpful for growth and improvement."

"This should be the treasure you mentioned."

"But I don't quite understand. Is it worth taking such a big risk for just one mutant crystal?"

"How about we go back? There is only such a monster, as for the flesh and blood that can evolve."

Liu Ziyun subconsciously licked the corners of his mouth, his mouth was dry, he cleared his throat and continued.

"Given that the zombies care about these fats, once we collect them, I'm afraid it will also cause a zombie siege. I think... the gain outweighs the loss."

The voice fell.

Liu Ziyun heard Tang Jiumin's answer.

No, he was talking to himself, and the other party didn't answer him.

"Why is there a lake-like existence here, and where did the pit come from?"

"These things can't exist out of thin air, after all, it's just a waterworks..."

What is this guy talking to himself?
Liu Ziyun looked at Tang Jiumin suspiciously, seeing that Tang Jiumin was still asking and answering himself.

"No, the system will give us some special rewards, but those things need to be discovered through the fog. They represent a deeper answer, which is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface."

"Do you think I'm the one who made the question? No, the trial is the real one who made the question. Those answers need to be discovered. We can accept it or reject it, and it won't affect everything after that."

As Tang Jiumin said, he suddenly laughed, "But since I saw it, I can't let it go."
