Chapter 36: Confusion
A huge pair of pincers stabbed deep into the wheelhouse of a wrecked ship, gradually deforming after a terrible grinding sound, and finally snapped by the pincers.
Andy stood not far away and looked at the huge monster that had crawled out of the middle in amazement, it was safe to say that it was a cyan crab, but it was too big..... Nearly as large as a medium-sized ship on its own, its sturdy chelicerae and pincers have left numerous gaps in the rusty, unsightly scrap ship as it climbs.
"What the hell is hidden in Lake Mead...... It's also amazing. Mark looked at the crab and couldn't help but sigh, and he was more concerned about eating than Beatrice.
"Big Crab..... Delicious? Andy glanced left and right a few times, the surrounding water was already green and black, I don't know why so many pollutants suddenly erupted in the water, it is estimated that those marauders just moved what kind of hands and feet, the water body in this state is to find death, those marauders jump into the water and swim if they are slower, even if they wear recycled protective clothing and wear homemade scuba, they can't run away..... But they're fast enough.
"You two find a boat to get out of here, we have to..."There was another earth-shaking tremor, and the huge crab had already looked at the few people standing on the deck with its two venomous little eyes, just like most mutated creatures in the wasteland, it didn't have the slightest affection for humans, and just wanted to tear them apart and eat them or cut them into several pieces and throw them into the water.
Huge pincers slammed into the hull of the ship, overturning their foothold. Andy jumped onto a rusty chain, and with amazing arm strength he climbed onto a metal platform shed welded to the mast of a large ship, and he looked down at several of his teammates, Mark jumped onto a wooden raft floating on the side of the water, and the clumsy Beatrice fell into the water again, throwing around in a haphazard manner.
"You catch!" Mark found a hemp rope and threw it at Beatrice, finally dragging her a little bit before she could sink completely into the water, you must know that super mutants have an amazingly low body fat rate, and their whole body is full of high-quality muscles, so that muscle blocks that can't swim will probably sink to the bottom if they fall completely into the water.
"Whew-no, don't throw me in the water!" The ship maggot screamed incessantly, and was almost pinned into the water by Beatrice several times.
"Ahh
"Thank you...."She slowly stood up straight on the deck, accompanied by dripping green dirty water, and the simple armor made of scrap metal on her body was actually smoking, but her body didn't seem to have any problems with being soaked in the horrible dirty water, and her rough green skin was almost unscathed.
"Hah.... Ha...... Ahem.... Are you alright? Mark was so tired that he almost lost his breath, but luckily he had been fairly well-trained in the past, otherwise not only would he not be able to drag this super mutant up, but he might have dragged himself into the water.
"Legs... A little numb....." Beatrice lowered her head and saw a witch snake biting her leg, but those teeth could not pierce the thick green skin like industrial rubber, but the bloodlust in the bones made the monster unwilling to give up any chance to burrow into the flesh and feast.
"Bugs!" She bared her teeth, opened her big fan-like hand and slapped her leg, and immediately slapped the witch snake into a meat puree, she grabbed the meat paste and put it in her mouth and tasted it, and then felt disgusted by the smell of pollutants, and spit directly into the water next to her.
"My legs, my legs!" There was a scream, and Mark was stunned to see that the marauder called the ship maggot who had just been captured by Beatrice was now lying on the deck with a broken face, and the pants he was wearing had been almost completely disintegrated by the corrosive contaminants, and the exposed skin was red and purple.
Thanks to the drugs he had been injected before, he wasn't bothered by the severe pain caused by the chemical burns, but even just looking at him knew it was terrible, and he couldn't help but scream.
The giant crab finally crawled out of the water completely, lying on several abandoned ships that were gradually deformed by the weight, and looked majestic in the sunlight, if such a monster came ashore and attacked, I am afraid that the city of Hoover Dam would be unable to withstand it.
Mark raised the plasma pistol in his hand, and then lowered it in frustration, his attack was unlikely to have the slightest effect in this comparison, and in turn attracted hatred.
The shell on this giant crab's body is not known how many times thicker than the hull of those abandoned ships floating on the water, although the plasma emitted by the plasma energy weapon is not small, but if you want to effectively kill it in a short time, I am afraid that you have to do it with an energy heavy weapon of the level of plasma projector.
"Hey! A shout came from above, and Mark looked up to see that it was Andy, who had somehow climbed to a high place.
"You guys look around for any of the boats left, you need to get out of here quickly, I see that big guy seems to be..."Andy said, turning his head to look at the cancer again, and suddenly shouted at Mark and the others.
"Hide!" Before he had time to think about anything, Mark raised his leg and rushed into a container that had been set aside at random, which smelled foul and piled up a lot of household garbage.
It's amazing that there is a bed that seems to be soaked in grease in this kind of garbage heap, and I don't know what kind of sloppy-looking guy would sleep here.
A sound of pouring water sounded after that, and a large amount of green dirty water fell from the sky, and Mark closed the door of the container in time.
Although he almost vomited from the garbage inside, it was better than being doused by the corrosive dirty water from an unknown source outside, and it was not as simple as getting hurt after being drenched in the metal armor on Beatrice's body.
"Ahem-ahem-" Mark pinched his nose for a moment and pushed open the door of the container, only to see Beatrice rising from the ground, her whole body dripping with those green dirty water, and the inferior oversized metal armor on her body had been eroded and disintegrated, gradually sliding down from her body.
"Soaking wet..... Dislike. Beatrice wiped the dirty water from her body, and it didn't matter at all, there were some burn marks on her back, but it was tickling for a super mutant physique.
She looked down at the man she had covered again, and a terrible smile appeared on her face.
"The reserve grain is not dirty..... It's good, otherwise the little humans will stink when they eat it. The ship maggot was protected by her body once, and she covered her mouth at the moment and was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe.
"Are you alright? That guy actually squirts water. Andy stood on a high vantage point and could see clearly, and after the giant crab spat out a large pile of green bubbles, it suddenly spewed a stream of dirty water towards where Mark and the others were.
Mark watched as the crab continued to climb between the wrecked ships, and knew that this was not the way to go, he beckoned to Beatrice, and immediately headed away from the crab, where many marauders had died at their hands, and there must be some left of the boats that could get out of here.
"Throw that guy to me, it's a rare opportunity, you can't go home empty-handed this time!" Andy stood high and held out his hand to Beatrice, motioning for her to throw the ship maggots over.
"Wait...."Before the ship maggot could react, a thick arm lifted him off the ground, and after two easy turns, it threw him towards where Andy was standing like a paper airplane.
The ship maggot let out a series of screams of terror in the air, and he watched as many sharp objects slashed past him, and then he slammed headlong into the hard steel plate.
"No ————!" Just as he was about to slap his liver and brain, another thick arm grabbed him, and the maggot only felt a tightness in his chest as if it was about to be flattened alive, and then stopped before his face was about to sink into a sharp iron spike on the ground.
The ship maggot, which had never experienced it like this, opened its mouth silently in Andy's arms at this moment, and its eyes began to meet each other, looking like a dementia.
Andy put him on the platform in a state of panic, and saw that his legs were badly eroded, and there happened to be a water storage container used by a water tiger to catch rainwater, so he grabbed the bucket and poured the whole bucket of water on the boat maggot, which woke him up violently because of the excessive fright.
"Wake up! Didn't you say you knew where your boss lived? You know the password to his safe, right? Tell me where it is? Time is limited, and if you rub it any longer, I'll have to throw you to that big crab for dessert! As he spoke, Mark and Beatrice, who were running for their lives below, finally saw a small boat, but a crayfish as big as a man suddenly came out of the water next to it, and the small chelicerae near its mouth kept rubbing against each other, and immediately spewed out a stream of black-green liquid when they saw Mark and Beatrice approaching.
Mark rolled out of the way, and was sprayed directly in the face before Beatrice could dodge, the liquid seemed to be much more corrosive than the lake water that the giant crab spat out just now, and directly caused part of her skull to leak out.
Beatrice, who wailed, cried out
"My head", then picked up the super power hammer and swung it around, and the crow was directly smashed by one of the hammers and fell into the water.
On the other side, Mark had jumped into the boat to start the diesel generator, there were several sealed kegs in the cabin, and when they were opened, there was a thick grease with a strong fishy smell, I am afraid that this was the biodiesel made by those marauders, he was a little puzzled, he didn't know where the sulfuric acid and methanol of those marauders came from, but that was not something to consider now.
Just as he had finished refueling, the boat suddenly shook, and it seemed as if something had jumped onto the boat from behind Mark.
He thought that the one behind him was one step later than Atelis, but he didn't expect to turn his head and see that it was actually a monster that he had never seen before.
The monster was about two meters tall, had a tail, green scales all over its body, and had a face that looked like a flattened fish head, with webbing and fins under its armpits, tail, back, and fingertips.
It would seem, this is one
"Fishman".
