Chapter 687: Run!
The distant black dot was getting closer and closer.
Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai finally saw the face of that black dot.
It was the Base Commander.
It made sense; neither Qin Yuan nor Water Python would risk danger to save someone else.
At this moment, Bai Xiqin barely managed to make out the figures of Water Python and Qin Yuan.
One was flying close to the sea surface, the other was swimming in front of the Base Commander.
The Base Commander was holding onto Water Python with one hand, relying on it to swim toward the waves.
Qin Yuan’s tail occasionally touched the seawater, creating ripples centered around it.
The ripples stirred up waves, crashing onto the beach again and again.
In the invisible seawater, huge monsters were poisoned by Qin Yuan’s tail poison, unable to catch up again.
Even so, the situation for the Base Commander and Water Python Qin Yuan was still very dangerous.
Because behind them, a huge wave was rising from the sea, under which decaying bodies were faintly visible.
It was hard to tell which fish had turned into zombie creatures, but over this distance, Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai could smell a strong stench.
Bai Xiqin’s Control Power suppressed the increasingly turbulent waves nearby, preventing the little zombie fish from getting close to them or being swept into the sea.
Water Python swam desperately forward, muttering continuously.
"Master’s dad, you must hold on! Don’t let go, we’re almost there! We’ve already seen the master!"
Water Python kept repeating this sentence, fearing that the Base Commander would let go of its tail.
The Base Commander kept his eyes tightly shut, only his fingers gripping Water Python’s tail, his face pale as if he were about to collapse.
The pressure behind made it impossible for the Base Commander to open his eyes; only Water Python and Qin Yuan dared to break through, stubbornly dragging the Base Commander around the sea!
Water Python swam desperately, never seeing Bai Xiqin’s figure, the water flow before it was too intense, barely able to open its eyes.
It relied mainly on Qin Yuan’s voice, following its shadow.
Qin Yuan was the navigator, Water Python was an emotionless swimming machine.
"Almost there! Keep swimming!"
"Chicken stew with mushrooms, braised pork, sweet and sour fish... Keep pushing, master will give us a feast! Eat until we’re bloated, make Taowu envious!"
Qin Yuan’s encouraging voice was very practical, weak though it was, it filled the body with strength.
Hearing Qin Yuan’s weak voice, Water Python twisted its body even faster.
Finally, just as Water Python was about to be exhausted, they plunged into a very familiar control field.
They, along with the Base Commander, soared into the air, quickly flying toward the beach.
In the blink of an eye, Water Python Qin Yuan fell into Bai Xiqin’s hands, while Leng Yebai steadily caught the Base Commander.
The terrifying pressure also swept in at this time, directly shattering Bai Xiqin’s Control Power.
The invisible energy followed Bai Xiqin’s Control Power, directly impacting Bai Xiqin.
Even though Bai Xiqin withdrew quickly, she still suffered a slight internal injury.
Bai Xiqin had never felt such a strong pressure, almost capable of crushing everything.
It was even more terrifying than the Zombie Whale encountered last time.
The waves before her retreated rapidly, as if gathering energy.
The next time, this surge could destroy everything on the beach.
Bai Xiqin staggered, a bit of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.
Without hesitation, Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai turned and ran towards the bus.
With every step, Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai could feel the energy emanating from the ground, sending shivers down their spines.
Bai Yifan, trembling, held onto the steering wheel, his foot already on the accelerator, ready to floor it as soon as they boarded.
From afar, Bai Yifan not only felt the terrifying pressure from the sea but also saw the towering wave.
In the gigantic wave, decaying eyeballs glared at the beach like a rotten sun, dead fish eyes staring intently.
It was like a beast from hell.
Bai Yifan couldn’t imagine how enormous the creature would be if its entire body emerged.
No human force could withstand it.
Leng Yebai and Bai Xiqin moved quickly, Bai Xiqin frequently using her Control Power in small bursts to forcefully increase their speed.
The waves surged high, then slowly fell, and due to gravity, the speed and force at which they crashed onto the beach would only increase.
"Roar—"
Vaguely, Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai heard zombie roars, coming from zombies at sea.
The sounds came from multiple directions.
Within the monstrous wave, countless furious roars reached Bai Xiqin’s ears.
High Rank zombie creatures can command Low Rank zombies.
Even without turning back, Bai Xiqin could imagine what was in the wave.
A dense mass of little zombie fish and various zombie marine creatures.
There might even be zombies that were accidentally swept into the sea.
Bai Xiqin gritted her teeth and used her Control Power once more.
Bai Xiqin and the others soared through the air like bullets, flying into the bus.
Bai Yifan didn’t even have time to close the door, slammed the pedal to the floor, and drove in the opposite direction of the sea.
A loud crash echoed.
The wave finally crashed heavily onto the beach.
Bai Xiqin looked through the door towards the distant beach, where countless zombie marine creatures were bouncing on the sand.
The zombie marine creatures were too numerous to count, completely covering the ground.
The rotten stench engulfed them.
Bai Xiqin held her breath and looked toward the sea.
The sea surface returned to calm, as if the previous waves were merely an accident.
Under the calm sea, a distant shadow grew further away until it disappeared.
The mysterious pressure that belonged to it also vanished without a trace.
Maybe, in its eyes, the wave was just a casual flick of its hand, the terrifying pressure that shattered Bai Xiqin’s Control Power just a glance at the ephemeral beings on the beach.
As the bus drove further and further, Bai Xiqin finally couldn’t see the shadow on the sea or the beach.
But she could still hear the dense sounds of zombie marine creatures slapping the ground, and Bai Xiqin reached out to cover her ears.
Yet she still could hear the continuous sound.
Bai Xiqin steadied herself and managed to stand up by holding onto something.
"Xiao Leng, why are you still sitting?"
Only then did Bai Xiqin notice that Leng Yebai had not stood up, his eyes fixed intently on the Base Commander.
Hearing Bai Xiqin’s voice, Leng Yebai came back to himself and noticed the blood at the corner of Bai Xiqin’s mouth, his eyes tightened, and he quickly stood up.
"Xiao Niu, are you alright?"
Leng Yebai’s voice was a bit hoarse, one hand supporting Bai Xiqin, the other lifting the nearly unconscious Base Commander and placing him on the sofa.
"I’m fine, just need to eat something good to recover."
Bai Xiqin shook her head, picking up a bottle of water and walking toward the sofa.
The water was Spiritual Spring Water, and the Base Commander in his state needed to drink some.
Bai Xiqin had just twisted open the cap, when she glanced at the Base Commander sitting on the sofa and suddenly froze.
The Base Commander was leaning against the sofa, his eyes barely open to a slit.
His left arm was missing, leaving a wound on his shoulder where some beast had cruelly torn it off.
White bone shards were exposed, but no blood flowed out.
The blood had long dried up, and even the wound was washed pale by the seawater.
