Fish and Bus

[Saiwei Resort Island]

Port Terminal

Almost all the boats in the entire dock area were damaged, and even the dock itself was full of dents.

The only remaining passenger ship is deep inside.

The Zombie Shia was panting heavily; both of her arms and much of her flesh were gone.

Even his right cheek had been stripped of a large amount of flesh, revealing a bare skull structure, making him look more like a zombie, and he was extremely weak overall.

Isabella was bandaging her wounds and injecting the nursing home's essence of regeneration fluid into Shia's body.

As the white, glowing corpses of parasites were expelled from her body, Shia finally recovered.

"Is Sister Eye alright?" Shia asked immediately about her teammate's condition.

In the darkness, Sister Eye appeared in Wheelchair. Her most vital eyeball was covered with gauze, and her right hand was still connected to an IV drip, but her left hand was making an 'OK' gesture.

Isabella will explain the situation again:

"Although my Sister Eye have some visual impairment, she is generally okay."

With 'that thing' completely killed by you, Shia, all the marine parasites in our bodies died.

The Sister Eye's eyes are repairing themselves; it just will take a little while.

Isabella, are you alright?

"It's okay... I've conceived myself three times in a row, which cleared out the parasites in advance, so my physical condition is better than yours."

What happened to this island? Everything was normal before we went to the village, how could it suddenly become like this?

Shia offered her guess. "It's probably something that was triggered by your partner... But that's fine, this way we can get straight to the point."

"With Hua Yuan going to help, there shouldn't be any problems. Let's head to the hotel and meet them first."

"Um."

After getting separated from Luo Di in the cave, Shia, Sister Eye, and Isabella followed a mountain passage directly to the coast.

They wanted to return to the cave, but each time they got lost in the forest. After many attempts, they finally returned to the beach.

Most importantly, the forest is filled with eerie coffins and corpses that seem to follow you everywhere.

Sister Eye realized that once these corpses died, some kind of death essence would be absorbed by the forest and sent somewhere. It seemed that as long as enough corpses died, some terrifying existence in the forest would be awakened.

Considering the dangers involved, they chose to walk along the coastline, circling around to the area between the resort and the hotel to meet up with Hua Yuan and the others.

To everyone's surprise, a large number of corpses were floating on the sea near the dock. The bodies of these corpses were severely bloated, and in addition to the lividity, their surfaces had a faint blue sheen.

It feels like they've been drowning for a long time, rather than something that just happened tonight.

Even though Shia and the others did not provoke it and deliberately walked along the inner side of the beach, it would be activated as long as they crossed the floating corpses on the horizon.

Their abdomens Guild Leader grow structures resembling crab legs, which they used to carry swollen, foul-smelling corpses ashore in pursuit.

After easily clearing away twenty floating corpses, a strange floating corpse emerged from the Deep Sea. It had no bulky physique and was dressed in strange sacrificial clothing.

The corpse's entire face was rotten from being submerged, its surface covered with coral-like structures and octopus legs growing from the crevices.

Even a fleeting touch can lead to a terrifying parasitic invasion.

The Sister Combination and paid a considerable price to achieve victory.

If this drags on any longer, the parasites in the sisters' bodies will reach the brain and begin to feed on the pituitary gland.

Just as they were about to head from the pier to the hotel, a beam of headlights shone on them.

Deep in the forest

Just as Luo Di and Hua Yuan were about to escape, they were stopped by a comical yet sharp voice.

The car door opened.

A pair of shiny crocodile leather shoes stepped down, matching a pure purple gentleman's suit, with a cartoon fish headgear around the neck.

"Oh~ don't run away, I'm not here to kill you."

Without my big truck, you might have to spend a lot of unnecessary time leaving this forest.

As I just mentioned, you got the exclusive ride opportunity because you killed the [Black Death Face]! As long as you get on the bus, you can go anywhere on the island for free and come find me to collect your kill reward.

Of course, you can also choose not to trust me.

Whether you get on the bus or not is up to you.

Glug glug~ Time's bubbling away, if I don't get on the bus soon I'm leaving.

Neither Luo Di nor Hua Yuan sensed any killing intent from the other.

Perhaps, as the monster incarnate said, what happened on the island was more like a game.

The Fish Head Man in front of us might be an important game character, and contacting him might reveal some clues about the monster's transformation.

Hua Yuan tried to imprint his name on the other person's brain, but found that it was ineffective.

A substance similar to the Black Death Face blocked the projection of the ability, and the opponent's dead fish eyes glared over, seemingly warning Hua Yuan not to make any underhanded moves.

"Mr. Di, this guy is probably not much less dangerous than the dead. It's up to you whether to get in the car."

"Superior."

"You're really not afraid of death! Let's go, let's go."

Seeing the two walking towards the car door, the driver made a very gentlemanly gesture of invitation.

The interior of the car remained largely unchanged, with the only difference being the seat covers, which were replaced with pure leather instead of ordinary cloth.

The two still chose to sit at the back of the car.

The fish-headed gentleman stood in the middle of the aisle, his hands in his pockets, visibly scratching his crotch, before sniffing his right finger in front of the fish-head mask.

It was as if he had inhaled some particularly refreshing scent; after a spasm throughout his body, he began to speak again:

"You can call me ' Gentleman Fish,' and my main responsibility is to award prizes to you powerful participants."

I never expected that you guys could actually take care of the Black Death Face that I feared the most.

Please don't even think about doing anything to me!

I'm not on your Wanted Poster list, I'm just a gentleman helping out, gurgle gurgle~

Let's choose your rewards first, and then we'll talk about other things.

I'm sure you're all wondering what happened on this island? Don't worry, the Gentleman Fish will explain everything when he drives you around!

Having said that,

The fish's mouth began to slowly open.

A Deep Sea, pungent smell wafted out, like opening several cans of different kinds of herring.

Vomit!

It wasn't that Luo Di and Hua Yuan vomited, but rather that the Gentleman Fish vomited because of its own stench.

However, what came out was not filth, but three things.

A long, bony staff resembling a fishbone, covered in sharp spikes, its surface shimmering with a Deep Sea luster.

A can of food without any labels.

A piece of agate that emits a green glow.

The Gentleman Fish closed its mouth, looking quite pleased with what it had vomited up. "Congratulations! Your random reward has been drawn, and it looks pretty good!"

This is Fishbone Stick (experimental). Next time you encounter troublesome island creatures, use this to hit them; it will be very effective! I'm sure you've also noticed that the energy in the corners is suppressed by the creatures here.

This is Ocean Can, which is the favorite food of Gentleman Fish.

No matter how hungry you are, or what kind of injury you have suffered, as long as you don't die, eating this canned food will fully restore you within ten minutes.

This is Radiation Stone; it provides endless light to dispel the darkness on the island and also nourishes your spirit.

These so-called rewards looked very strange, and Luo Di didn't choose them directly but instead raised questions:

"You must be a monster's subordinate or some kind of island creation? Why are you helping us?"

The Gentleman Fish shook its head violently, "NONONO~ It's not help, it's a reward!"

Your active participation has allowed the host to obtain important experimental parameters; this is simply a reward for your participation.

Please don't misunderstand, the Gentleman Fish will not help anyone!

Also, don't be afraid. Although these props are related to the master's experiments, they will not cause your experiments to be transformed.

As long as you're a participant, the starlight will only remain on your surface.
