Wasteland Commander-Chapter 392 - 83: Ocean Giant Beasts Enter the Great River

Chapter 392: Chapter 83: Ocean Giant Beasts Enter the Great River

The survivors were jumping up and down anxiously when they saw Ma Guoxing’s side showing no reaction.

Many were making gestures for them to leave, hoping that Ma Guoxing’s group wouldn’t continue forward.

These people were survivors captured by Hua Wushuang and several Corpse Kings, now a special presence in the apocalypse, zombie slaves.

Though temporarily safe amongst the zombie horde, they were tired of living on the edge, yearning to return to the human community.

After all, no one knows when the zombies might turn and devour them. Choosing to stay and serve the Corpse Kings was the only viable option.

Meanwhile, this fleet clearly belonged to a significant survivor faction. At this moment, they didn’t dare ask this fleet for rescue.

They just hoped they’d quickly leave, not be captured or killed by the zombie horde like them.

Yet Ma Guoxing was blissfully unaware, feeling completely safe at this moment.

The Jiangzhou ships were not only equipped with radar stealth coatings but reinforced, making it hard for Mutated Birds to attack.

Despite the vast number of zombies, they posed no threat in the river, allowing Ma Guoxing to watch with a spectator’s mindset.

"I must admire these survivors; they managed to survive in such zombie-infested places, quite impressive."

"I suspect there’s a secret to their survival. How are they surviving when there are no people left in Zhonghai? Where are their resources coming from?"

"Alas, I have no time to deal with them now, but once we capture Dawn Island, I’ll return and rescue you then."

With that, Ma Guoxing looked delighted, whistling shoreward.

"Hello~! How are you? Stay here, we’re off to enjoy good food and drinks! Hahaha~~!"

Under his influence, the soldiers on the ship also joined in, feeling a sense of superiority.

It was as if while others were homeless, living under bridges during a storm, they were comfortably in a mansion, enjoying hot pot and red wine, watching the suffering world outside.

But this feeling didn’t last long; changes suddenly appeared on the river’s surface.

Ripples started forming, with black silhouettes beginning to appear in the water.

Ma Guoxing and others weren’t overly anxious; they recognized these shadows as mutant fish in the river.

They had seen countless fish on their journey, the largest being four to five meters long.

But so what? Even a four or five-meter fish couldn’t threaten the ships.

Soldiers immediately loaded their bullets, firing directly at the fish in the river.

Bloody pools surfaced repeatedly, with mutant fish flipping belly-up, floating upward.

"Heh! Mutant fish in the river aren’t scary; we’re not in a canoe or small boat. What can they do?"

Ma Guoxing was dismissive, even instructing people to haul up some fish for food. A single big fish could feed many now.

But soon, the fish began an organized attack on the ships.

Groups of fish lined up horizontally, crashing collectively into the ships.

Larger ships were less affected, but smaller ones couldn’t withstand the impact.

Crash~~!

A yacht used for lake exploration capsized instantly.

Sixty soldiers fell into the water, faced with swarming fish.

Screams echoed from the water as soldiers fired desperately, but to no avail.

A large catfish flipped its tail, swallowing a soldier whole.

Small fish, the size of washbasins, swarmed soldiers, dragging one after another underwater.

"Damn it!"

Ma Guoxing was furious, ordering intense fire towards the capsized area.

"Forget about the men overboard; they’re beyond saving. Wipe out these damned fish!"

Bullet rain fell, mixing human and fish blood indiscriminately.

Yet as one spot cleared, problems arose elsewhere. The fish seemingly found a weak point in the ships, systematically attacking smaller vessels. Within moments, seven or eight ships had capsized, losing hundreds of soldiers.

"Sir, this seems unusual. These fish are coordinating, something we’ve never seen. Can it be that Beast Kings have arisen among fish too?"

Ma Guoxing’s face turned pale: "I’m not sure, but Jiangzhou’s laboratory said cold-blooded animals couldn’t become Beast Kings. Yet Ye Fan can control octopuses, and now these fish are organized, suggesting Jiangzhou’s lab might be wrong."

"What do we do now?"

"Regardless, let’s leave. The number of fish will only increase; we can’t waste our forces here. Let’s depart quickly."

Of the hundreds fallen overboard, only dozens were rescued; the rest became fish food.

Ma Guoxing led the fleet with no choice but to speed up and navigate Yellow Leaf River’s sharp bend quickly.

But just after turning, another unexpected incident occurred.

The river is flowing in reverse!

Just a few kilometers ahead, it seemed like something appeared beneath the river, pushing the water to form a several-meter-high wall, swiftly reversing its flow and rushing towards the fleet.

"Not good! What is that?"

The radar soldiers on the ship shouted eagerly, "Duke! There are countless things coming from beneath the river!"

Ma Guoxing was astounded. He hurriedly shouted to the rear, "Open fire! Fire with all you’ve got! Don’t let those things underwater come over!"

Countless bullets densely shot towards the advancing water wall, and through the specks of blood, something emerged.

It was a great white shark!

In the ocean, great white sharks are already somewhat kingly, and now after mutating, its body has grown over twenty meters long.

The enormous shark resembled a humpback whale, but it was much more agile than a humpback, swaying its head and tail.

Its blood-red mouth opened wide, like a small house, making viewers shudder with fear.

Even though it was hit by countless bullets, they weren’t lethal, instead arousing its ferocity, and it swiftly pounced towards the fleet.

Behind it, more and more sea monsters began to appear.

The scene of Dawn Island being attacked was still vivid in people’s minds.

If Ye Fan hadn’t detonated the Mushroom Bomb, that attack might have flattened Dawn Island.

The power of the ocean giant beasts left a deep impression on people.

No one expected that these ocean giants would appear again, entering the river water from the sea, right into the Yellow Leaf River!

Countless ocean giants surged forth, driving the river to flow in reverse—what kind of power is this!

A cargo ship armed with a naval gun was firing continuously, and the great white shark leapt onto the ship!

Its blood-red mouth opened, biting off the naval gun in one go!

Its gigantic body swung, sweeping soldiers off the deck into the river in a frantic crawl.

After boarding, the great white shark wobbled side to side, causing the cargo ship to start shaking.

The sound of water crashing~~!

A thirty-meter orca also boarded the ship, joining the great white shark in the swaying.

The combined weight of the two giant beasts, plus the inertia of their swaying, soon caused the cargo ship to lose balance.

With a loud boom, the ship capsized, directly falling into the river.

The enormous water wall surged forth, sweeping all the people who fell into the water away, leaving no trace.

With the advance of gigantic waves, almost all ships lost the ability to fire.

The ships were tossed up and then dropped by the water wall, the people onboard stumbling, with countless directly falling into the Great River, struggling desperately for survival.

But their efforts were in vain. With the water wall came the ocean giant beasts, seemingly ravenous, devouring them in massive bites.

Countless screams disappeared in an instant, and the next moment, they were inside the stomachs of the ocean giants.

Pushing the water wall was a school of large fish, orcas, great white sharks, and dolphins, charging together, immediately scattering Jiangnan’s fleet.

Some smaller ships capsized directly; even the larger ones struggled to maintain balance, losing any ability to fire.

And behind the large fish, octopuses, turtles, electric eels, sea snakes, and flying fish surged forth densely, leaving no room for the soldiers to survive.

The ship Ma Guoxing was on didn’t escape unscathed, but fortunately, it was large enough not to capsize from the rushing waves.

He held onto an iron railing with all his might, stabilizing his body with the strength of a Level 2 Mutant, thus avoiding falling into the river.

"Impossible! This is impossible! These ocean giants...they! They actually know how to cooperate! This is utterly impossible! During the attack on Dawn Island, the ocean giants didn’t have this ability."

Ma Guoxing’s eyes were bloodshot. He had come quietly to attack Dawn Island, and as they neared the island, he couldn’t believe he encountered such a terrifying scene.

What’s wrong with this world? Ocean giants can coordinate; is there any path left for humans?

Just when Ma Guoxing felt he might be doomed this time, he suddenly noticed someone.

A woman in a white dress!

The woman stood on the back of an orca, coldly watching the group struggling in the river.

The woman was extremely beautiful, standing on the whale’s back, cold and noble, like a deity from the ocean.

Ma Guoxing’s eyes instantly lit up.

No matter who this woman was, she seemed like someone he could communicate with.

He dreaded zombies and Mutant Beasts, these things that feared neither death nor showed any fear, were simply impossible to communicate with, leading to endless struggle with no solution.

But if this woman could communicate, then he might still be saved!
