Chapter 3: Tidal Alienation
The route of progress was blocked, and Lu Jing faced the monsters surrounded by groups, so he had to choose to temporarily evacuate in other directions.
Lu Jing knew very well in his heart that if he withdrew, he was afraid that he would no longer be able to keep up with the big army.
Because he doesn't even know where the hundred households are!
But at least Uncle Fu and the others attracted the attention of the monsters, and they should be able to retreat to a safe place smoothly......
The question is where do you go?
At a glance, I saw the steam whaling ship moored in the harbor, and my eyes suddenly lit up.
What I have to do now is to delay as much time as possible, and when Uncle Fu and the people of the Baihu Institute catch up, there will be reinforcements coming.
The steam whaling ship can better exert its capabilities in the ocean, and some of the things on it can come in handy.
Either way, it's better than hand-to-hand combat with these fish monsters on the beach!
As his mind turned, Lu Jing turned the direction under his feet and went straight to the whaling ship.
However, as Lu Jing's footsteps approached the shoreline, he soon found that there were still fish monsters in the sea, they came on the waves, appeared in the range of the searchlight at the top of the whaling ship, and when they got close to the shore, they showed the four twisted, indistinguishable limbs of hands and feet, jumping forward in a disorderly manner, sometimes only with hind legs, sometimes on all fours...... Those hoarse and sharp voices still entered Lu Jing's ears even in this stormy weather.
What surprised Lu Jing was that the direction of action of these monsters was exactly the same, that was the direction in which they were heading.
These guys are here to find themselves!
If the fish monsters behind him were a coincidence, then the current situation undoubtedly made Lu Jing confirm this and step on the sampan to board the whaling ship.
The moment he boarded the ship and entered the ocean, Lu Jing's whole body trembled as if he had been overpowered, and he could clearly feel that there was some kind of power surging from the surrounding seawater, continuously injecting into his body.
Run along the deck and pull down all the barrels and nets stacked next to you, creating barricades for the monsters behind you.
Lu Jing didn't choose to enter the cabin, these monsters can cut through the roof of the warehouse, and naturally they can also attack the wooden hull, and the view in the cabin is extremely poor, Lu Jing doesn't want to learn ostriches, his goal is obvious - the captain's room!
Taking out the spare key under the wooden barrel at the door, Lu Jing paid attention to the fish monster who was restrained by fishing nets a few meters away, even in this critical situation, his hand was still very steady, and he opened the narrow door of the captain's room and strode in.
At this time, the fish monsters in the surrounding waters were still getting closer, and the nearest one was already close to the hull of the ship, jumping high in the water, claws clinging to the side of the captain's boat, and pulling the hull with both feet in an attempt to turn over.
It's just that when it finally rubbed some distance up, the head just crossed the side of the ship, and what it saw was a thick-soled rain boot stepping on its claws and crushing it back and forth fiercely, opening its mouth to try to bite it, but the next second it was forcibly stuffed by two thick and hard barrels.
Boom!
The loud noise spread in the rising smoke, and the fish monster that had been blasted off half of its brain no longer had the strength to hold on, and when the rain boot was released, it fell straight into the sea and disappeared.
Gray-white smoke swept over the man's sturdy body in the dark yellow searchlight, and the cold wind and rain could not move the grim face in the slightest.
Looking sideways at the waves under the boat, Lu Jing, who had a short axe pinned to his waist and two strings of shotguns on his chest, raised his hand to put the double-barreled shotgun on his shoulder, and spat in the direction where the body fell.
"Dare to pick up Lao Tzu's boat, look for death!"
Lu Jing didn't come to the captain's room to take refuge, as I said before, the sea in this era is not safe at all, so no matter how many ships like them go to sea, they will always have one or two firearms, and the one in his hand is the murder weapon that Uncle Fu bought from the black market for a full 5 silver dollars.
Just as he was about to turn around, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and Lu Jing found that a few wisps of silver-gray energy were rising from the side of the ship, and finally surged into his left hand, to be precise, in the palm of the sea's card.
"Hah! I said how to have an energy gauge on the back, it turned out to be for you!"
Twisting his neck left and right, there was a click, and Lu Jing's eyes couldn't help but be a little hot when he looked around again.
Gollum~roar~
Several fish monsters on the deck also barely broke free from the fishing nets at this time, and rushed towards Lu Jing in a crowded manner, and he didn't step forward, just stood at the door, raised his gun and pulled the trigger.
These fish monsters were only flesh and blood after all, and the one that rushed to the front was hit head-on by a dozen buckshots, and the head immediately became a puddle of rotten meat.
You can withstand the short axe, you can show me this shotgun!
Slapped the barrel of the gun to reload, Lu Jing's eyes were always staring at the few fish monsters in front of him, these guys didn't care about the life or death of their companions at all, and stepped forward again with the corpses on the ground, Lu Jing was not in a hurry to reload, and took out a thick spear with several sharp barbs at the tip of the captain's room with his right hand.
Whale Hunting Spear!
One mention, one throw, the whole person is like a Spartan warrior in a standard spear-throwing posture, and this posture Lu Jing practiced in his previous life and this life more than ten years ago, he is simply not too proficient, with the surging power in his body now, the body twist even has a cruel beauty like flowing water, the hunting spear in his hand was still in the palm of his hand one second, and the next second it had pierced the left eye of the fish monster at the front, pierced its brain, and crashed into other fish monsters behind it with its corpse.
Kill with one hit!
At this time, several other monsters had already come forward, Lu Jing was not a brainless man, killing three fish monsters in a row could already help him relieve some of the pressure, and decisively retreated into the captain's room and locked the hatch.
As mentioned before, this steam whaling ship is not an ordinary ship, its hull is mostly made of wood, but this captain's room and the chimney next to it are completely mechanical, and the defense is much higher than the roof of the warehouse!
A few monsters were lying on the window in front of them and kept waving their claws and slapping the windshield, Lu Jing was not in a hurry, he had been on the ship for so long, he naturally knew that this glass had been reinforced by Uncle Fu at a great cost, originally to prevent it from being damaged by the debris flying on the ship when he went to sea, but now it is just right to resist these monsters.
Lu Jing stared at these monsters for a while, only felt that it was an eyesore, so he retracted his gaze, turned his gaze to the cloth bag in his hand, tore open the mouth of the bag, and took out the statue of the human head from it.
From the warehouse to the whaling ship, Lu Jing thought about it, and the extra compass around him was the compass that had just been dug out of the belly of the fish and the statue of the human head.
Taking a step forward and approaching the windshield, Lu Jing took the statue of the human head and shook it from side to side in front of these fish monsters, and the latter's head also swayed from side to side.
"The problem is really in the statue"
Half-squinting, Lu Jing clutched the statue of the human head, and after a while, an "evil" smile suddenly appeared on his face.
The statue shook twice in front of the fish monsters, and then moved to the narrow door of the captain's room in front of them, and unsurprisingly, the monsters swarmed in this direction.
However, don't forget, the Captain's Outdoor is a two-person path, and the hatch itself is very narrow, so that only one or two fish monsters end up in the doorway.
Through the translucent glass window on the top of the door panel, which was no more than the size of a basin, Lu Jing looked at the monster outside, and then raised the shotgun in his hand and aimed at the window.
Bang!
A shot shattered the glass, and the castrated projectile blasted a fish monster outside the door upside down, and before Lu Jing could ingest the energy spilled from the corpse, the broken window was blocked by another fish monster.
With his left hand tossing the statue of a human head up and down to attract attention, Lu Jing once again pestled the muzzle of the gun into the monster's face.
So the next second, another corpse fell into the sea.
Boom!
Just as he was about to replace it with a new shotgun, there was a heavy muffled sound in front of him, and he turned around sharply, only to see a huge fist smashing into the center of the windshield.
Moving his gaze upward, Lu Jing's eyes showed a little surprise, and he found that unconsciously, the fish monster that was lying outside like a toad had retreated to the side, and at this time, there was only one fish monster outside the windshield that was particularly large and more human-like, and the punch just now was smashed by it.
And that's just the beginning.
The fish monster's eyes were also locked on the human head statue in Lu Jing's hand, and he kept waving his right arm to smash it into the center of the windshield, and at the same time, Lu Jing clearly saw that the gills on both sides of its neck kept trembling, and even in the captain's room, some low-frequency rustling sounds could be heard, and the other fish monsters outside actually began to move after hearing this sound, surrounding the captain's room.
Without any communication, just based on the attitude of the fish monsters around him, Lu Jing knew that the fish monster in front of him was probably the leader of those guys outside, and if it was a game in his previous life, he would have to have the title of an elite fish monster on the top of his head.
It was just three punches, and a crack appeared in the center of the windshield, which made Lu Jing inside frown, just now those fish monsters smashed the windshield for more than ten seconds without problems, and it was actually smashed out of the crack by its three punches.....
"Leader?"
Lu Jing stuffed the statue of the human head back into the cloth bag, staring at the fish monster in front of the window and punching again, these irrational fish monsters have a large-scale collective action, and there must be a commander behind the scenes.
This is what Lu Jing is waiting for!
With his left hand in his hand, the moment the Seakeeper's card appeared, it turned into dozens of streamers and poured into his chest.
The surging sound of the tide sounded in Lu Jing's ears.
Tidal Alienation!
The blue-purple pattern was revealed from Lu Jing's chest and spread to his whole body at a very fast speed, the already burly body grew as if it was blowing, the muscles of the whole body were even more bulging and tangled, the skin and flesh on the outside of the arms and the back were cracked, and the black fins in the shape of an inverted triangle were towering, flashing in the light with a cold cold light.
Roar!!!
Sensing the changes in the human beings in the cabin, the fish monster outside the window seemed to be greatly stimulated, raised its arms high, and the surrounding rain seemed to be attracted by some kind of energy, and then punched it in the center of the glass, and the cracks that were originally only small areas spread to the entire window in an instant.
Lu Jing, who was already nearly two meters three on the other side of the window, looked at the fish monster outside the window condescendingly, the pupils of his eyes at this time were already rendered with a blue-purple luster, and the violent energy was surging in his body.
"That's it?"
A deep and hoarse voice.
The words fell, and he raised his arm and punched out the same punch.
In the blink of an eye, the storm is gone!
