Chapter 45: A Land Without Clay

The raging waves roared again, and the people who fell into the sea floated on the surface of the sea, unable to launch an effective attack on the giant squid without a point of focus.

"Everybody, swim to the lifeboat over there!" Ning Yu shouted as he pointed to the lifeboat that had been knocked off the whaling ship by the squid.

When everyone heard the shouting, they immediately reacted and swam towards the lifeboat.

Everyone got up to the lifeboat one after another, but the Nighthawk, who was a little farther away, was still struggling desperately in the sea.

The giant squid also sensed the nighthawk that had fallen behind, and picked up several tentacles and pounced on him. Soon the tentacles were around his ankles.

The tremendous force of attraction climbed up Nighthawk's ankle and instantly dragged him into the sea.

At the critical moment, Razor picked up his sniper rifle and shot at the part of the squid's tentacles floating on the surface of the sea. Three bullets in a row finally blasted the tentacle off a section several meters long.

Nighthawk resurfaced, but the sudden attack had choked on a lot of water in his lungs, and he was already in a state of shock.

Ning Yu did not hesitate and jumped directly into the sea, ready to pull the Nighthawk onto the lifeboat.

As soon as she swam to Nighthawk's side, the giant squid attacked again.

The squid's entire body sprang out of the sea, several tentacles dancing incessantly, and in the center of those tentacles was a huge mouth of the abyss with sharp fangs.

Ning Yu looked back at the squid that was rushing over, turned around and pulled the Nighthawk to swim towards the lifeboat, but because the Nighthawk was completely unconscious and in a state of disengagement, the two of them swam extremely slowly, and soon the squid caught up.

The razor shot at the squid's body again, and the bullet exploded holes in the squid's body, but the squid had completely ignored the damage to his body, and vowed to devour and crush the two people in front of him.

The squid had pounced behind Ning Yu, a tsunami-like sound echoing in her ears, and the smell of rotting came from behind.

"Captain, be careful!" Razor dropped the gun and was about to go over to help Ning Yu, but at this time, the squid had already raised a tentacle and slashed over, so he had to hurriedly remind him.

Although he was in the sea, Ning Yu was dexterous, and dodged to the side at the moment when he was about to be hit by the squid's tentacles, only a millimeter between them to avoid the squid's attack.

The squid became even more annoyed when the blow missed, and several tentacles slammed in from different directions, trapping Ning Yu like a cage with a dense attack.

When there was no way to avoid it, a breaking wind fell from the sky, Chen Lingfeng jumped high from the whaling ship, and the sharp blade in his hand turned upside down and aimed at the squid's other eye, which was still intact.

Chen Lingfeng's sudden attack, the squid was completely unexpected, and before it could react, there was pain in the eyes that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

Suffering heavy blows one after another, and several tentacles were also cut off, although the giant squid had rough skin and thick flesh, it could not withstand such a toss. It rolled up its tentacles and grabbed Chen Lingfeng and threw him out fiercely.

With a muffled sound of "bang", Chen Lingfeng was smashed on the whaling ship and hit it firmly, his head hit the guardrail on the side of the ship, and he fainted immediately.

The giant squid was in a hurry to escape, the waves rolled and raged, and after another storm, the sea finally returned to its original calm, and the sun came out of the clouds again.

The giant squid was nowhere to be found, and everyone climbed onto the lifeboat and searched around, but they couldn't find Chen Lingfeng's figure, he disappeared in the vast blue sea.

"Master... Grandpa, that little brother seems to be about to wake up. When Chen Lingfeng was in a daze, he seemed to hear a little girl's shout. He brushed his thoughts, remembering the moment when he was thrown at the whaling ship by the giant squid.

"Head... It hurts. Chen Lingfeng covered the back of his head and slowly opened his eyes.

At this time, a small room, simple furnishings and scattered daily necessities showed that the owner was struggling. The surrounding walls are made of wooden planks and scrap metal, which is covered with the marks of seawater erosion. The roof is made of fishing nets and wooden planks, and sunlight shines through the holes in the nets, creating speckled halos on the floor.

Not long after the little girl who had just shouted went out, an old man with a gray beard but in good spirits walked in.

The old man held a cup in his hand, and the cup contained a little cloudy liquid. Behind him was a little girl with pigtails and childishness, with big eyes flickering, and some of the baby's fat faces with two natural flushes, which were very cute.

"You drink some water first, see that you are also a hard-working person, if it weren't for my father and I just happened to go out fishing today, I wouldn't be able to touch you." The old man handed the cup in his hand to Chen Lingfeng.

Chen Lingfeng took the cup and took a shallow sip, and asked with a little bitterness and mud, it was not pure fresh water.

"You can just do it, now there is only this refined fresh water available for floating on this sea. Now that no one in this world dares to return to land, those beasts that have come out of nowhere must eat you alive. ”

"You're saying we're at sea?" Chen Lingfeng originally thought that he had drifted to land with the waves, but from the old man's words, he knew that this position was still on the sea.

"Aren't you at sea, I don't think you have recovered yet, didn't you also go to sea to take refuge? Otherwise, how would we have caught you in the sea? The old man stood up and asked the little girl next to him to take out a few worn-out clothes from the cabinet next to him.

"These clothes belong to the child's father, I see that the clothes on your body are already torn, so let's wear them first." The old man handed the clothes to Chen Lingfeng, turned around and walked towards the door with the little girl.

"By the way, you can rest after changing your clothes, I'll call you at dinner." Bobby, say goodbye to big brother. The old man looked at the little girl kindly and touched her head.

"Big brother, goodbye." Bobby smiled obediently and waved at Chen Lingfeng.

As soon as the old man went out, he was stopped by several dark-skinned sturdy young men.

"Limber, you are also an old man, why bother to rescue this irrelevant young man? It's not uncommon for the world to die now. Several sturdy young men said one after another.

"It's because everyone thinks it's not strange that I want to save him, we are all human beings, we can't lose our humanity, you can live numbly in this world, I, Lin Zhenhong, can't!" The old man glared at the sturdy young man in front of him with a heartfelt expression.

"Hmph, I obviously can't take care of myself and still want to save people, whatever you want, but the old rule, whoever has one more person will have to pay one more amount of fresh water, you can do it yourself." A few sturdy young men threw down a sentence and turned away angrily.

Lin Zhenhong looked at this sea and land, which was surrounded by several ships as skeletons, and his heart was full of contemplation.

How long can the people who live here survive in this land where there is no dirt? They have long lost their humanity, they have long lost themselves, how different from those strange beasts that live on land, they are just walking corpses in human skin.

"Dang, dang, dang" Just as Lin Zhenhong was pondering, an alarm sounded from the improvised watchtower on the sea and land, and the sentry shouted below, "Whale Gang... The Whales are coming! ”
