Chapter 42: The Fog Hides the Murderer

The next morning, over Nangang, I wanted to look for the whaling ship parked in the port directly from the air, but the thick fog rising from nowhere made the port mask tight, and it was impossible to observe it from the air.

Nighthawk flew around the harbor several times, but could not find a suitable landing spot, so he had no choice but to dock in a square outside the harbor where the fog was about thin.

When everyone got off the plane, the fog immediately swept in, and the dense white was permeated, and the visibility of the line of sight could only be maintained at about ten meters.

"Everyone, be careful, the fog here is too big, and the weather is gloomy, so it's a good time for those guys to hang out during the day." Ning Yu turned his head and reminded the team members, and everyone immediately put their weapons and equipment in place.

"Blade, Demolition, Razor, you stay on guard, and the rest of me will go with me to search the whaling ship. You will lead the team, you are more familiar with this place than we are. After Ning Yu assigned the team, he prepared to go to the harbor to find the whaling ship.

"Little knife knife, I can't be together for a while, don't miss me." Fox Huo pinched the razor's face and said coquettishly.

"Hurry up and get me away, I really don't want to put you in the team if it weren't for the fact that there might be some mechanical stuff involved in the whaling ship." Ning Yu grabbed the collar of the fox fire and forcibly dragged her towards the port.

"Little Knife ......" Fox Fire was still acting on his own, and Razor had to cover his ears and turn around and stop looking at her. The blasts and blades next to them are also black lines.

Ning Yu and the four of them walked slowly in the thick fog, and the high-rise buildings that occasionally squeezed out the thick fog from both sides of the street were still telling the prosperity of this place before the end of the world.

Rock walked ahead of the group, and despite the mist, he was able to find his way forward with the memories of the past.

The four of them groped their way through the thick fog for an hour, and finally heard the sound of the waves of the sea.

"We're here." Rock said, pointing in the direction of the waves crashing.

Everyone looked up, and the huge harbor beach was filled with dense black shadows in the thick fog, which were the masts of all kinds of ships. The mast rises and falls regularly under the rolling waves.

"The whaling ship should be docked in the No. 5 area of the South Harbor, and we will go over from here." The rock looked closely at a building near the shore, which was spray-painted with the words Area 2 in blue markings.

"What's that?" Everyone was about to walk towards Area 5, when Chen Lingfeng suddenly heard a rustling sound from the garbage bin behind him, and he immediately raised his gun to aim.

The rest of the people also stared at the garbage bin vigilantly.

A short time later, a half-adult wild boar came out and walked over to the garbage left behind by humans, rummaging for food to eat.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it was only a false alarm, if it was really a monster coming from the thick fog, and it was such an open area, it was indeed a tricky problem.

Ignoring the boar, the group turned and continued towards Area Five.

But he didn't go far, but behind him came the fierce howl of a wild boar, as if he had found something terrible.

Turning again, the boar was looking behind the bin, howling and retreating.

Slowly, a black, silt-like mass emerged from the back of the bin, and the mud wriggled as it moved slowly.

As the mud approached, the boar's cry became more and more harsh, and the animal's instinct seemed to tell it that the mud was definitely an extremely terrifying existence.

Just as the boar was about to escape, the mud suddenly became difficult and catapulted from the ground. Only then did everyone realize that the previous lump of limp mud turned out to be a small mollusc, with its forelimbs degenerated into soft tentacles, a slender body, and a mouth with sharp teeth in the center connecting the two tentacles.

The creature's sudden movement also gave the boar no time to react, and its entire body was immediately wrapped in the soft creature.

The boar was wailing, but the mollusk was firmly attached to its back like a plaster, and its toothy mouth was pierced into the back of the boar's neck, and blood was constantly being pumped into the mollusk.

As the blood enters the body, the mollusk begins to swell, and then, after reaching the limit of expansion, the mollusk explodes along with the attached boar.

With a loud bang, the wild boar was blown apart, and blood and internal organs were spilled on the ground.

The astonishing destructive power shocked everyone present, and before they could recover, more soft creatures sprung up from all directions.

"Get out of here, we're going to be surrounded!" Rock pulls out the Gatling gun from behind his back and begins firing at the soft-bodied creatures that are pressing down, covering the rest of the retreat.

"Nighthawks, they have to take to the skies, this thing should explode after absorbing energy, and it's no joke that this thing is attached to the mech. I'm going to tell them that you go ahead and look for the whaling ship, and when the location is determined, fire flares. Fox Fire took out the flare in his backpack and handed it to Ning Yu.

"Be careful yourself." Ning Yu took the flare and admonished.

Foxfire nodded, brandishing the short knife in his hand and rushing in the direction where Nighthawk One was docked. The soft-bodied creatures tried to get close to her, but they were reduced to ashes by the flames dancing in her hands.

After the fox fire left, Panshi led Chen Lingfeng and Ning Yu closer to the No. 5 area while shooting.

Chen Lingfeng and Ning Yu slashed at the soft creatures that leaked from the blind spots that could not be covered by the rock's fire.

The three of them cooperated tacitly, and soon came to the No. 5 area where the whaling ship was located.

"The boat is there!" Rock shouted as he pointed to a large black shadow in the fog.

At this time, the bullets of the Gatling gun were also poured out, and without the support of heavy firepower, the soft creatures around them immediately poured in like a tide.

"Get to the boat!" Ning Yu cut off the soft creatures that catapulted from both sides, and hurriedly greeted Panshi and Chen Lingfeng on the side.

The three of them stopped fighting, turned and ran towards the whaling ship. However, due to the dense fog blocking the view, the journey did not go smoothly, and the soft creatures behind him gradually caught up.

Finally, the three of them finally came to the whaling ship.

It is a large freighter-converted whaling ship, and in addition to the control area of the cockpit, a large empty deck of the hull is used to stack the captured whales.

The ramp of the hull had been damaged, and only a thick cable connected the hull from the shore.

Ning Yu looked at the soft-bodied creatures chasing after him, and had to summon Chen Lingfeng and Panshi to climb over the cable.

The three of them climbed the cable, which was a little slippery due to the thick fog. Chen Lingfeng looked down, the drop of dozens of meters almost made him dizzy and fell, he hurriedly calmed down, grabbed the cable and moved forward.

The thick rope was not easy to hold, and the trio crawled extremely slowly. On the other hand, the soft-bodied creatures behind them, they relied on their tentacles to cling, and their travel speed was obviously much faster than that of the three of them.

As the mollusk continued to climb the rope, the weight on the rope increased, and finally, the rope broke in the middle.

The broken cable slammed into the hull of the ship, and the three of them hit the hull with this force, only to be slapped into meatloaf.

"Ling Feng, I'll pull you up first!" The rock closest to the side of the ship stretched out his arm to Chen Lingfeng below.

At the critical moment, he didn't have time to think about it, Chen Lingfeng stretched out his hand and grabbed Panshi's sturdy arm, and Panshi riveted his whole body and threw Chen Lingfeng onto the deck.

"Captain......" Panshi stretched out his arm to Ning Yu again.

"You go up first, I have my own way, leave me alone!" Ning Yu knew that if Rock pulled her up again, he would not have time to escape, and he wanted to exchange his life for the safety of his teammates.

Panshi looked at the captain's resolute eyes and no longer hesitated, and he used all his strength to climb the deck with the assistance of Chen Lingfeng.

Ning Yu held the cable in one hand, and as she got closer to the hull, the speed of the cable falling faster and faster.

Just as he was about to collide with the hull, Ning Yu let go of the cable, took the opportunity to draw his sword out of the sheath, and the sharp blade was inserted into the hull, immediately stopping the fall of his body. Then, the sword body burst into flames, creating a platform of ice crystals the size of a foot on the hull of the ship.

Ning Yu pulled out her long sword, climbed onto the ice crystal platform, and with a rapid click of her right foot, she jumped into the air, and almost at the same time as she jumped, the ice crystal platform also shattered into powder.

Ning Yu in mid-air and with the strength of stepping on the hull of the ship, he finally barely climbed onto the side of the ship. Chen Lingfeng and Panshi immediately ran over and pulled her onto the deck.

"Launch flares!" Ning Yu didn't have time to catch his breath, and ordered Chen Lingfeng to quickly launch the signal flare.

Orange flashes rose from the fog, and the mollusced creatures that had fallen from broken cables were clinging to the hull and wriggling towards the deck.
