176 Naval Battle

“I’ll help you deal with it,” Wang Ran said, as he took out a Swiss Army knife.

The best option was to cut off the top part of the tear to avoid it from growing.

Lu Shuangshuang shuddered, the moment Wang Ran touched her.

Her legs had never been seen or touched by other men.

Wang Ran touched her leg as soon as he worked on it, which gave her a strange feeling.

“Look, can you not move?

“If you keep moving, the split will reach your waist. By then, I can only give you leather underwear.”

Wang Ran glared at Lu Shuangshuang.

Lu Shuangshuang bit her lower lip and looked away.

She didn’t dare to look. The more she looked, the more embarrassed she became!

Wang Ran started his repair work.

He began to cut a little below the base of her thigh.

While working in this position, his hands would inevitably touch some nearby areas.

Lu Shuangshuang’s body trembled slightly as she tried to control her body.

She truly did not dare to move.

It would be even more embarrassing if her pants continued to split apart.

Very soon, Wang Ran finished one of the legs and started to cut the other side.

“Hey! I don’t have a tear there!

“What are you cutting?!”

Lu Shuangshuang suddenly came to a realization.

“Wouldn’t it look better symmetrical?

“There we go, it’s much better now.”

Wang Ran put away the knife, satisfied.

A pair of black leather pants had been transformed into a pair of leather hot pants that barely passed her thighs.

Lu Shuangshuang’s legs were really long.

Perhaps it was because of years of training, but Lu Shuangshuang’s leg muscles were perfectly defined. She was more shapely than Wu Jiaxin and Su Xiaoyu.

“What are you looking at!

“Do you know how long you’ll be locked up for being a hooligan?”

Lu Shuangshuang wanted to cover her legs, but she couldn’t cover them completely.

“Alright, alright. When we get back to the island, I’ll ask them to find you a pair of pants.”

Wang ran took a few glances and then retracted his gaze.

“It’ll take about ten minutes of swimming to get us back to shore.

“Are your ribs alright?” Wang Ran asked.

“No problem!

“Don’t underestimate women!”

Lu Shuangshuang strode forward with her long legs and jumped into the sea.

Wang Ran followed closely behind.

Under the moonlight, Lu Shuangshuang’s small perky butt was akin to a small island floating on the water. It was especially sexy when she moved.

While swimming, Wang Ran silently admired the view.

After swimming for a while, Lu Shuangshuang suddenly realized that Wang Ran was behind her. Didn’t that mean that her butt was directly facing his face?

Lu Shuangshuang deliberately slowed down.

As a result, Wang Ran also slowed down.

Lu Shuangshuang felt extremely aggrieved…

“Hey, can’t you swim faster and go in front of me!” Lu Shuangshuang turned around and said.

“I was just afraid that something would happen to you, so I was protecting you from behind,” Wang Ran said indifferently.

Upon hearing Wang ran’s words, Lu Shuangshuang’s heart suddenly felt warm.

So he wasn’t trying to take advantage of me, he was just concerned about me…

Forget it, if he saw my butt, so be it.

Lu Shuangshuang consoled herself and continued to swim forward.

Suddenly, Wang Ran frowned.

He could sense that something was quickly approaching him.

A ship? Fish? Mutant creature?

Wang Ran sped up and swam to Lu Shuangshuang’s side, pulling her into his arms.

“You… You’ve finally revealed your true colors!”

Lu Shuangshuang’s face turned red. She wanted to reach out and hit Wang Ran, but she was held tightly by Wang Ran, and she couldn’t even pull her hand out.

She had caught quite a few perverts, but she didn’t expect to encounter such an act.

“Shh… Be quiet,” Wang Ran said in a serious manner.

When Lu Shuangshuang saw Wang Ran’s expression, she knew that something must have happened, so she obediently stayed in his arms.

Not long after, a ripple on the sea surface quickly approached the two of them.

With the help of the moonlight, Wang Ran could see a dorsal fin.

A shark? A dolphin?

The other party seemed to be coming for him. Was it going to attack him?

Suddenly, a baby-like cry came from not far away!

“That’s a… dolphin!”

Lu Shuangshuang quickly reacted.

“A dolphin?”

Wang Ran muttered.

He had heard some emotions from the cry just now.

It was a little anxious, a little nervous, and also a little friendly.

This dolphin didn’t look like it was going to attack him.

Wang Ran held Lu Shuangshuang and did not make any preparations to attack.

Very soon, the dolphin arrived near Wang Ran and Lu Shuangshuang, and its head popped out of the water.

It was massive, almost as large as a killer whale.

Logically speaking, dolphins shouldn’t be this big. There was only one explanation — the dolphin had mutated.

The dolphin swam around Wang Ran and Lu Shuangshuang a few times and let out a baby-like cry.

“It seems to be in trouble and is asking us for help…”

Wang Ran could sense the emotions in the dolphin’s cry.

“Ah! Let’s help it!”

Lu Shuangshuang fully displayed the characteristics of a dedicated policewoman.

The dolphin was so cute that her heart was about to melt.

“Alright,” he said.

“Bring us there,” Wang Ran said to the dolphin.

The dolphin seemed to understand Wang Ran’s words. It happily rubbed its mouth against Wang Ran, then turned its back to Wang Ran and Lu Shuangshuang.

“It wants us to get on its back.”

Wang Ran understood what the dolphin meant.

The two of them hugged the dolphin tightly, like they were riding a motorcycle.

Lu Shuangshuang felt that this position was a little too intimate, but she was too embarrassed to say anything in the current situation.

The dolphin cried out and quickly swam away with Wang Ran and Lu Shuangshuang.

It was much faster than a speedboat.

If not for Lu Shuangshuang’s rank-four Awakened physique, she might not have been able to withstand the water drag.

Very soon, the dolphin’s speed slowed down.

They were probably reaching their destination.

Wang Ran’s sharp senses picked up the smell of blood in the nearby seawater.

The dolphin cried out a few times and looked down at the bottom of the water.

Wang Ran knew that something must have happened beneath the seemingly calm water.

“Shuangshuang, stay on the water. I’ll go down and take a look.”

After Wang Ran finished speaking, he dove into the water.

As Wang Ran continued to dive, the surrounding environment became darker and darker. The moonlight could only reach so far down the water.

The smell of blood was getting stronger.

The surrounding seawater was also flowing in an irregular manner.

“It’s here!”

A tentacle as thick as a water bucket suddenly smacked toward Wang Ran!

Wang Ran wasn’t very agile in the water, so the tentacle slammed into him.

Wang Ran immediately hugged the tentacle and absorbed a portion of the force, so he did not suffer too much damage.

“A mutated cuttlefish!

“We could eat this for half a year!” Wang Ran muttered in his heart.

Wang Ran was starting to get used to limited visibility at the bottom of the sea.

Not far away, a huge mutated cuttlefish was fighting with a group of dolphins.

The dolphins did not seem to be faring well…

The tentacle that Wang Ran was holding suddenly curled up, trying to squeeze Wang Ran to death.

The exertion was not insignificant. If he had been a rank-two or three Awakened, his internal organs might have been squeezed out.

Wang Ran immediately retaliated. He grabbed the tentacles with both hands and started to tear them apart.

The current Wang Ran had the strength of a rank-eight Awakened.

Although the tentacle was quite tough, it still tore apart in his arms.

The mutated cuttlefish was obviously frightened and wanted to withdraw its tentacle.

Wang Ran held on to the tentacle and was brought to the main body of the mutated cuttlefish.

There were injured dolphins everywhere, and many of them had died and were gradually sinking to the bottom of the sea.

Wang Ran was the reinforcement that the dolphins had called in, so he naturally could not sit by and do nothing.

While borrowing the force from the retracting tentacle, Wang Ran directly pounced on the body of the mutated cuttlefish.

The mutated cuttlefish panicked. It let go of the dolphins and extended its tentacles toward Wang Ran.

In an instant, Wang Ran was tied up.

“F*ck, I can’t use any strength!”

Wang Ran’s hands and feet were entangled by a large number of tentacles.

After all, they were in the sea, and the tentacles of the mutated cuttlefish were very tough, so Wang Ran couldn’t break free from them for a while.

However, the mutated cuttlefish could not do anything to Wang Ran.

This human’s physique was too terrifying. He actually couldn’t be squeezed to death!

The mutated cuttlefish had originally planned to use its tentacles to force themselves into Wang Ran’s mouth and directly stir up his internal organs.

However, Wang Ran’s mouth put up a fierce fight. As soon as the tentacle got close, Wang Ran bit off large chunks.

The two sides were in a stalemate.

In the eyes of the mutated cuttlefish, humans needed to breathe, and as long as the stalemate continued, they would definitely lose their strength.

However, Wang Ran was not an ordinary human.

He could easily hold his breath for half an hour.

Just as Wang Ran and the mutated cuttlefish were in a stalemate, Lu Shuangshuang rushed down with the dolphin in her arms.

She didn’t want to be a bystander.

With the speed of the dolphin, Lu Shuangshuang launched herself off its body kicked the eyes of the mutated cuttlefish.

A rank-four full-powered attack, even underwater, was still no laughing matter.

One of the mutated cuttlefish’s eyes was directly kicked out.

The mutated cuttlefish shriveled up in pain.

It retracted its two tentacles and attacked Lu Shuangshuang.

The dolphin immediately took Lu Shuangshuang and dodged nimbly around the mutated cuttlefish.

At the same time, the other dolphins also started to attack the tentacles of the mutated cuttlefish.

Under the joint attack of the dolphins, the mutated cuttlefish’s tentacles were badly damaged.

Wang Ran felt that the time was right. He exerted his strength and directly tore a few tentacles up!

The mutated cuttlefish didn’t dare to continue fighting and immediately dove into the deep sea.

Wang Ran did not let go of the tentacle. Instead, he held on and like a monkey on a vine, swung to the front of the cuttlefish.

Wang Ran directly pierced through the tough skin and inserted his entire arm into the mutated cuttlefish’s body.

Wang Ran’s hand fumbled about inside the mutated cuttlefish’s body, turning its insides into scrambled jelly.

The mutated cuttlefish twitched for a while, then its color dimmed, and its body stopped moving.

Wang Ran carefully dug around for a while more the mutated cuttlefish’s body.

After making sure that it was truly dead, Wang Ran heaved a sigh of relief.

Not long after, a group of dolphins swam over and tore into the mutated cuttlefish’s body.

The dolphin that had asked for help from Wang Ran led Lu Shuangshuang toward him.

Wang Ran flipped over and got onto the dolphin’s back, then put his arm around Lu Shuangshuang’s waist.

Lu Shuangshuang’s face turned red again, but she could not struggle.

The dolphin carried Wang Ran and Lu Shuangshuang back to the surface of the sea.

The dolphin let out cheerful cries.

This time, even Lu Shuangshuang understood that the dolphin was expressing its gratitude.

Dolphins continuously emerged from the sea and jumped and cheered around Wang Ran and Lu Shuangshuang.

They took turns to rub against Wang Ran’s hand.

Wang Ran noticed that most of the dolphins were injured.

He didn’t know if they could survive this.

In line with the principle of helping others to the end, Wang Ran took out his knife and cut his palm.

Wang Ran touched the wounds on the dolphins’ bodies with his bloody palm.

Very quickly, the wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Wang Ran even dripped a few drops of blood into the dolphin’s mouth to treat its internal injuries.

Dolphins were very intelligent creatures, and their intelligence had increased even more after they mutated.

After they realized that Wang Ran was treating them, they started to line up in an orderly manner and came to Wang Ran’s side, one by one.

Ten minutes later, the dolphins were all cured by Wang Ran.

They nodded at Wang Ran in unison. This time, it wasn’t just to thank him.

They were still expressing their submission.

“So, I now have a brotherhood of dolphins on my side…”

Wang Ran smiled.

This was not bad.

Judging from the current situation of the mutations, the ocean could be far more dangerous than land.

Wang Ran was only human, he would still struggle in the sea.

Therefore, it was not bad to have a group of allies or underlings in the sea.

“I live on the island by the sea. If you need anything, you can find me there.

“Of course, if there are any mutated creatures near the island, do help me clean them up,” Wang Ran said, as he stroked the dolphin beneath him.

The dolphin responded, indicating that it understood.

“Alright, it’s getting late. Send us to the shore.”

Wang Ran patted the dolphin’s back.

The dolphin let out a soft cry, turned around, and swam towards the shore.

Behind him, dozens of dolphins were following closely like an armored convoy!

Lu Shuangshuang had never seen such a scene before. She had never been this shocked before.

Lu Shuangshuang and Wang Ran had formed a connection after fighting together earlier.

Even though Wang Ran was sticking to her butt, she was too embarrassed to reprimand him.

The dolphins were very fast, and they reached the shore in a few minutes.

Wang Ran and Lu Shuangshuang went ashore and waved goodbye to the dolphins.

The dolphins cried out reluctantly for a while, then turned around and left.

“I didn’t expect the animals in the sea to start mutating!

“In comparison, the land is much safer.”

Lu Shuangshuang sighed.

“Only a portion of mammals have mutated. When insects, reptiles, and birds all start to mutate, it will be more troublesome.”

Wang Ran sighed.

His base was currently impregnable, but if mutated flying creatures started swooping down on them, things would turn very difficult.

Wang Ran walked with Lu Shuangshuang down the street to the island.

Lin Momo and Su Xiaoyu came out to greet them.

“Master, why are there seaweeds in your hair?

“Did you do it underwater?”

Lin Momo said with envy.

In her opinion, since Wang Ran had brought such a beautiful girl with long legs, they must have done it.

Underwater?

What is she talking about?

Lu Shuangshuang’s cheeks instantly turned red.

While on the dolphin’s back, it was bound for a bumpy journey, where friction and collisions were inevitable…
