Chapter 23 Crossing the Yellow River

Thundered~~

The rolling Yellow River rushes by, and the turbid river water rolls up large areas of yellow sand, and the river erosion on both banks has extracted large patches of detached rock layers, and the waves are stirred.

On the low mountain range along the Yellow River, Zhang Mo was holding the fish and meat sent by Changsheng in his hand and looking at the rolling Yellow River and the thunderstorm covering the sky above, he was pondering, this strange celestial phenomenon blocked the sky with a radius of hundreds of miles into a huge special no-fly area, completely blocking Zhang Mo's southward route, which made his crossing of the Yellow River a problem in front of him.

Zhang Mo heard Changsheng say that the storm on the Yellow River will not dissipate at all, but it will generally become sparse and weak after lasting for more than half a month or more, and the power of the thunder in the storm will be reduced to the lowest at that time, and then you will be able to see the sun, and without the attack of thunder, you will naturally be able to fly.

However, Changsheng said that it had only been about a week since the latest storm weakness period, and Zhang Mo couldn't guess when the storm would enter the weakness period, and it might take more than ten days to do it. But he didn't want to stay here for a long time, after all, the black-robed people in Shencheng Base City were about to move, and he had to arrive as soon as possible to strike first.

How do you cross the river?

Zhang Mo was thinking about it, and suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he saw the fishing boat left on the bank of the river in the Changsheng Village in the distance, and his heart moved.

Ferry across the Yellow River?

After the end of the world, there are so many abandoned fishing boats on both sides of the Yellow River that you may be able to find a ferry to cross the river?

Crossing the river without a transition boat is also not simple. Zhang Mo's eyes looked at the boiling yellow soup coldly, the rushing Yellow River was extremely turbid, like a roaring yellow dragon, he couldn't see how many crises and monsters were hidden in it, and they only dared to fish and hunt near shallow water.

Because of this, Zhang Mo did not dare to be careless, the environment of the Yellow River waters is very bad, among which the yellow sand is rolling, there was a saying of 'a scoop of yellow mud and a scoop of water', so there are not many aquatic creatures that can survive in the Yellow River, but the creatures that survive in such a harsh environment are often more fierce and have stronger vitality, and the fish monsters that have evolved from this are naturally more fierce and terrifying.

How many strange fish and beasts are hidden under the rolling yellow water?

Zhang Mo's expression was as usual, although he didn't know the underwater situation, but with his strength, he was not afraid of this Yellow River monster.

After thinking about it for a while, he jumped directly from the low slope into the Yellow River flowing below.

Poof!

A wave of water, the wave of water stirred up in a moment was submerged by the rushing river, Zhang Mo burst out of the water with a pop, his face was full of yellow mud, and his mouth was also, like a mud man, but he continued to dive under the water expressionlessly.

Before crossing the Yellow River, he had to make sure that he could move underwater, he had been in the belly of the fish for a long time, but at that time there was barely enough air in the belly of the fish to breathe, although it was not much, not even the breath of a small mouse, but it was barely enough for him, his vitality was extremely strong, and he could survive in the harsh environment.

However, this does not prove whether he can breathe underwater, he has to practice, after all, once he reaches the middle of the Yellow River, he is accidentally attacked, and the ship is shattered by a powerful monster, and he can't water, then it will be a tragedy.

Zhang Mo was latent in the rolling yellow water, the panting water hit his body, Zhang Mo could only swim reluctantly against the impact of the current with a very ugly and substandard dog-crawling style, he was just a landlubber in the north, and he had not touched the river to swim.

Puff~Puff~!

The river was rolling, Zhang Mo held his breath, and carefully took a breath under the water, and suddenly a stream of river water mixed with a large mouthful of yellow mud was inhaled into his throat along his mouth and nose, almost making Zhang Mo not hold his breath.

The bubbles rushed out, and he couldn't see anything clearly in the yellow river, Zhang Mo pondered underwater, he estimated that with his strength, he could easily dive underwater and hold his breath for more than half an hour, but he couldn't breathe freely underwater.

Can devouring a fish monster get the ability to breathe underwater?

Zhang Mo pondered.

And at this time, a faint air flow suddenly rushed in the opposite position of the water flow, Zhang Mo's pulse signal instantly spread out, he sensed a monster rushing towards him, Zhang Mo's eyes could not play any role under the turbid yellow water, the pulse signal spread, he turned his body in a dog-crawling style, and his arms also turned into a sharp claw form.

The river splits and a strange fish arrives in an instant.

The pulse signal is instantly locked!

Zhang Mo's claws also slashed over in an instant, and the extremely sharp claws ignored the resistance in the water, intercepted the water flow and split it directly.

Burst!

The strange fish is cut straight by the claws.

The strange fish was hit hard, violently dragging and struggling, the surrounding waters were dyed red by a large amount of turbid blood in an instant, Zhang Mo's expression was cold, one claw pierced into the body of the strange fish, hooking the strange fish to swim upwards in a dog-crawling style.

Burst~!

Zhang Mo broke out of the water, he raised his arm with one hand, and in his hand was a slender strange fish with a streamlined body, the strange fish was more than five meters long, the whole body was the gray color of a turtledove, very slippery, and there was a row of sharp fish ridges growing behind it, with a hideous head and a few tough fish whiskers on the edge of the mouth.

"Loaches?"

Zhang Mo whispered to himself, but he didn't care too much, and directly grabbed the body of the loach monster fish, and the black and red blood of his whole body was entwined to devour the vicious loach.

The boiling Yellow River washed away the blood-red stains in the loach monster fish in a very short period of time.

However, Zhang Mo still didn't hear any system sound after waiting for a long time, it was still as usual, his brows were slightly furrowed, his head dived under the water and took a careful breath, and suddenly inhaled another mouthful of yellow mud.

Zhang Mo raised his head, it seemed that his physique had not changed at all after devouring the loach, and he still couldn't adapt to the water.

Is it that the level of the loach monster fish is too low, and there are no special mutations that cannot be absorbed and changed by their own bodies? Or is it that you simply can't get underwater capabilities?

Zhang Mo frowned slightly, in the original "Torture and Killing" game, the protagonist could not enter the water, and after entering the water, he would jump back to land on his own, which he estimated was that the game's production team did not design the plot related to the water. Now it's different, he's in reality, and he can't know if the real-life "Torture Prototype System" can gain underwater skills and the ability to survive underwater.

Zhang Mo then continued to stay under the muddy water for a while, but did not move towards the middle of the river, only sneaking in the shallow water area of the river bank, but even then he was attacked by several underwater monsters in a short period of time, which shows the ferocity and the astonishing number of fish monsters in the Yellow River.

Zhang Mo easily killed and devoured the fish monsters that attacked him one by one.

Blood stained the surrounding waters, but the system never sounded, meaning that nothing had changed since he devoured the fish monsters.

Zhang Mo couldn't think of a reason, so he had no choice but to go ashore.

The wet yellow water flowed down his clothes, and Zhang Mo sat on the bank of the river unwillingly, looking at the cloud storm that seemed to be pressed down, and the thunder flashed in the storm, and he had to give up the plan to try to fly across the Yellow River with meat wings again.

In the evening, in front of a bonfire, Zhang Mo used a branch to insert fish meat and roast it on the bonfire.

The rumbling sound of dull thunder still echoed in the night sky in the distance, showing no sign of abating.

After eating the fish, Zhang Mo leaned on the stone and looked at the dull dark sky, he decided to cross the river tomorrow morning, and he didn't know how long it would take for the storm to weaken.

After thinking about many things, he barely fell asleep.

Early the next morning.

Zhang Mo set off to find a boat, walking along the riverbank, the banks of the Yellow River after the end of the world were a desolate and dilapidated scene, the village was abandoned, there were not even corpses, only some dried and blackened blood stains and bones, weeds gradually grew in the wilderness, zombie monsters and evolved monsters were occasionally visible, and groups of zombies wandering away in a daze were also walking aimlessly, looking for prey.

On a small, deserted dock, Zhang Mo found some fishing boats docked in the harbor.

Zhang Mo got on one of the sturdiest medium-sized fishing boats, one size bigger than the one in the Changsheng Stockade.

He inspected the interior of the fishing boat, and after kicking a zombie trapped in the cabin directly, he looked at the instrument on the bridge, looking at the console, he couldn't help but be a little dazed, he originally thought that it should not be difficult to drive the boat, but the uncomplicated instrument in front of him also made him a little overwhelmed.

However, he had the idea of being a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and his fingers were on the control table of the fishing boat, and he turned blankly, holding down the rudder and turning wildly.

In a moment, a cold system voice rang out.

"[Piloting Mastery] skill level increase, intermediate, effect: (1) Can skillfully drive ordinary ships, airplanes, automobiles and the following vehicles."

Zhang Mo was stunned at first, and then couldn't help but show joy, how could he forget the skill of driving mastery, remember that at that time, the [driving mastery] skill was unlocked by touching the steering wheel of the truck, and this time it should be the rudder of the fishing boat that triggered the level increase of this skill.

But no matter what, it's always a good thing, Zhang Mo immediately started the fishing boat easily according to the guidance of the master of driving.

Buzz~Buzz~!

There was a shrill grinding sound, the engine of the fishing boat started slowly, the fishing boat began to tremble slightly, and after several months of mooring, the dusty fishing boat finally started again. Zhang Mo looked at the rolling Yellow River with cold eyes, started the fishing boat, the fishing boat propeller turned, stirred up a large wave of water, drove out of the dock, and sailed towards the other side of the river.
