The two stepped out of the elevator and were greeted by the transparent pier they had just seen from below.

Slowing down was Christina's instinctive reaction.

She spread her arms slightly to maintain her balance, looked down at her feet, and was filled with fear.

Several shadows were moving back and forth.

They finally got a clear look at the underwater creatures.

One of them is over eight meters long, with a row of titanium alloy shells riveted to its gray-black back, and mechanical dorsal fins cutting through the water, creating streaks of fine foam.

What should have been fish eyes have become two scarlet compound eyes.

"Director Zhou... the sauerkraut fish from your hometown... should look like this, right...?"

"It's just a hybrid breed from artificial breeding; it has excessive levels of heavy metals."

Sing Sing, with a cigarette dangling from his lips and one hand in his pocket, walked with an air of nonchalance.

"Look at the gills of that fish, the welds are all rusted. None of us locals want to eat this kind of raw fish; it's guaranteed to give us a stomachache."

"Only a bunch of bumpkins like Silver Peak, who don't understand food hygiene, would treat industrial waste like a treasure."

Before Christina could respond, the familiar voice blared from the loudspeaker hanging overhead.

"Stephen Chow! Your good luck has come to an end!"

The commander roared hysterically incessantly.

"This artificial trench is forty meters deep, and it houses our modified Biochemical Berserk Sharks! They've been modified with Berserk Factors, and their craving for live flesh is ten times that of ordinary predators!"

"You prefer taking straight lines, right? Then go underwater and talk to them about your civil service job!"

After he finished speaking, the sound of a button clicking came from the speaker.

Boom!

The entire pier was shattered in the blink of an eye!

"Oh no! I can't swim!"

Her feet slipped, Christina lost her balance and screamed in terror, her hands flailing helplessly in the air.

Sing Sing was also falling, remained remarkably calm.

Practice makes perfect, and Old Zhou now has plenty of experience with falling.

He reached out with his right arm and his five fingers gripped the back of Christina's collar.

"What's the panic? Does shouting make you float?"

The fall ripped apart Old Zhou's tie.

But his left hand had already slipped inside his suit jacket and found a conspicuous brass button along the edge of his vest.

Sing Sing pressed his fingertips firmly, quickly pressing the buttons three times in a row.

The black suit, hand-sewn by Professor Jiang Si, emitted a high-pressure inflation sound from inside.

The lining inside the collar popped out and quickly inflated into two orange, semi-circular airbags.

Old Zhou quickly removed the airbag and fastened it around Christina's neck.

Thump!!

The impact of the fall was immense, but the exaggerated buoyancy force pulled the two people from the water to the surface.

"Cough cough... cough!"

Christina wiped the water from her face. "Does your suit have a built-in life-saving function?"

"How's it going? Not bad, right? Are you even more eager to join?"

Before he could even gloat a couple of times, a whirlpool appeared in the water below.

Five dark figures surrounded each other, rapidly ascending from dozens of meters underwater!

A bio-engineered giant shark bursts through the water curtain and lunges straight at the two people floating on the surface!

The first giant shark burst out of the water, its massive mouth, reinforced with alloy, opening wide and sending spray of water flying everywhere.

"They're coming up!"

Good timing.

Sing Sing grabbed Christina's lifebuoy with one hand, and with his right hand, he pulled out a thermobaric fragmentation grenade, biting the pin with his lips and pulling it.

Click!

The grenade traced an arc and slid deep into the giant shark's throat.

Old Zhou flicked his toes upwards across the water, forcefully snapping the giant shark's jawbone upwards.

Thump!

The Biochemical Berserk Sharks swelled violently, and dark red blood mist mixed with shattered internal organs exploded into a blood and flesh storm on the water's surface.

The once relatively clean pool water was instantly stained bright red.

Christina stared at the floating chunks of flesh around her, her teeth chattering uncontrollably.

"Alright, stop standing there, get ready!"

Before she could react, Sing Sing took out the glue he had used to glue the Prism and applied it to the lifebuoy. Before the glue could harden, he grabbed Christina's arm and swung her upwards.

Splat!

Christina was stuck directly to the transparent glass pipe in the middle of the pool, in a rather awkward position.

Seeing that she was safe Lao Zhou did not rush to leave.

Only when we are completely out of danger can we feel at ease.

Thinking of this, Lao Zhou immediately circulated his Inner Qi, transforming his external breathing into a deep and long internal breath before diving underwater.

The deeper you go, the dimmer the light becomes.

Just as he dived to a depth of nearly twenty meters, four humanoid creatures covered in dark green, fine scales broke out of the water from behind the artificial coral reef on his side!

Upon closer inspection, it was a frogman-like creature that bore a resemblance to the Deep Abyss.

The soles of the feet have webbed feet, and the knuckles of the hands are connected to a translucent water film.

Each of them held a trident and swam extremely fast underwater.

The lead frogman locked onto Old Zhou and thrust his trident straight at him.

Underwater resistance is extremely high, which can slow down movement by several times.

But Sing Sing's body was very slippery in the water. With a twist of his waist, he used the counter-current to roll rapidly, and the sharp edge of the trident narrowly missed his chest.

In the blink of an eye, Sing Sing kicked off the coral reef behind him with both legs, using the momentum to propel himself forward as he raised his right hand in a sword-like gesture.

Tendon-Separating and Bone-Dislocating Hand!

The powerful force, ignoring the water's resistance, burst forth from his fingertips, directly grabbing the leader frogman's elbow joint and collarbone.

Click!

The frogman spewed out a string of bubbles, and the trident slipped from his hand, falling to the bottom of the water.

The second frogman swooped down from above, his trident piercing straight into his back.

Sing Sing pushes his left hand back horizontally, Half-Step Crushing Fist)!

Boom!!

The water surged violently, and a visible, transparent Shockwave spread wildly from between the two men's hands and chests!

The hidden force penetrated the skin, shattering the frogman's internal organs.

The other two frogmen were much slower, but when they saw the bio-shark attacking, they mustered their courage and cooperated with the shark to surround Sing Sing.

Christina, pressed against the glass wall, stared intently at the water's surface, her voice trembling with tension.

She's stuck in a dilemma, unable to go up or down.

All I can do is sit here and worry.

But then a corpse would float to the surface, then chunks of flesh would drift up, making her scalp tingle.

What will she do if Old Zhou also gets caught in there?

Seeing the water turning increasingly blood-red, Christina couldn't help but call out.

"Director Zhou! Director Zhou! Are you alright?"

There was no response; the water continued to churn and surge.

A moment later, the water surface returned to calm, and a string of tiny bubbles rose to the surface.

Christina was overjoyed, thinking that Old Zhou was still alive.

But the next second she saw a ferocious-looking frogman pop his head out of the water and stare straight at her.

Completely desperate Christina closed her eyes. She planned to find a way to crawl out of the lifebuoy and activate her mutant abilities.

If you exchange one item, you earn one profit; if you exchange two items, you earn a pair.

"Hey, Nana, are you asleep?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Christina opened her eyes.

She saw Sing Sing emerge from under the frogman and give her a thumbs-up with a grin.

Christina, relieved, quickly thought of another problem.

He was stuck to the glass, while Sing Sing was in the water.

How did the two leave?

Before she could even ask a question, she saw Sing Sing swim to the glass wall, stretch out his feet and stick them to the glass, and then walk up step by step.

This unexpected scene left Christina speechless with shock.

Generous crab gift!

Who among us is the Mutants?

You can't be Mutants, can you?

How can one person have so many mutable abilities?
