Chapter 385

For this stealth missile boat, Jiang Liushi used 11 mutant nuclei up . His heart was bleeding as he was left with only two mutant nuclei, but he had to use them too . The stealth missile boat was in lack of a crucial thing, collision rams! Unfortunately, that function could not be shared as there was a considerable size difference between the minibus and the boat .

Relying on the holographic image of the ship's bow, Jiang Liushi made some calculations first and immediately designed V-shaped naval rams for the missile boat . Just like that, the last two level-1 mutant nuclei disappeared into thin air . The naval rams would automatically appear after initiating the Collision function .

'Remaining progress: 90% . . . ' Starseed's cold reminder sounded in Jiang Liushi's mind .

The reconstruction process of any function needed about 34 minutes . The specific time depended on the difficulty of the transformation . Jiang Liushi estimated that this time it would take at least half an hour . During this time, he continued to study the missile boat . In the darkness, the missile boat looked like a beast made of steel on the river's surging waves .

"Please, fasten your seat belts . I want to test the missile boat's power . " Jiang Liushi's voice was transmitted through the ship's loudspeakers to the trunks of the rear cabin .

Sun Changxin, Jiang Zhuying, and the others did not dare to delay . They quickly tied their seat belts, and at the same time, they all showed their excitement and expectations . Nobody knew what kind of power the missile boat had .

Because of Starseed's existence, Jiang Liushi could fully grasp every area and function of the missile boat . However, he was unclear of how mighty the missile boat really was . He was very eager to test it .

'Activate the Acceleration function!' Jiang Liushi said in his mind .

'Boom!'

The MCV shook, and the SII water jet propeller below the missile boat suddenly ejected two intense water columns .

'50 knots!'

'65 knots!'

'80 knots!'

Ying transmitted everything to Jiang Liushi's mind . 80 knots was the maximum limit of the missile's power . It could only reach that level after the power system's strengthening . In the sprint state, the diesel engine roared madly, propelling the missile boat into waves on the river . It was as if a steel monster was going to fly . The entire hull was buzzing under the impact of high-speed water .

'Make a sudden turn of 90 degrees!' Jiang Liushi gave the second command . If any Navy officers, or sailors, were on the boat, they would have definitely scolded him . How could he make such a huge ship complete a 90-degree turn? It was an extremely dangerous maneuver, and almost impossible to be completed with an approximately 42-meter hull .

However, this missile boat accomplished it . Starseed could perfectly integrate every part of machinery in general, thus forming a perfect mechanical structure . Thanks to Starseed's calculations, Jiang Liushi could control every aspect of the vessel as he wished .

The entire missile boat moved horizontally by 90 degrees . The huge fan-shaped hull, sweeping right, produced a colossal 78-meter wave . The bow, cabin, aft and other parts shook due to the strain of a 90-degree turn . But the sharp maneuver was completed successfully .

Jiang Liushi secretly clenched his fist and was very satisfied with the performance of his new stealth missile boat . All those actions fully demonstrated the powerful performance of the missile boat . Only such a flexible missile boat could fight against that level 2+ mutant monster .

. . .

The floodwater outside of Wu Shui County had indeed increased a little bit, as Sun Changxin had predicted . Now the floodwater was submerging the walls of the city . With the rise of water, various types of monsters lurking in the water had gotten closer to Wu Shui County's survivors . Fortunately, that mutant pufferfish, which had already tried eight times to attack the survivors, had failed and left . Although it had not eaten any survivors, solely its existence and the uncountable underwater monsters had been exerting tremendous psychological pressure on Wu Shui County's survivors .

Moreover, the city's food reserves were already inadequate . More than 10,000 survivors were currently taking refuge in the city . In other words, there were more than 10,000 mouths that had to be fed .

Xiang Xuehai had done her best to make meticulous calculations . Their every meal was a pot of porridge with many kinds of wild herbs such as alfalfa and other grains collected by survivors, and it was made as thick as possible . Even so, it was still far from enough . Xiang Xuehai had estimated that it would their supplies would only last them for three more days…

If the mutant pufferfish had truly left, then she could find a boat and go to the nearest northern suburbs and other villages to search for food . Unfortunately, the reality was cruel .

'Jiang Liushi, when will you come back?' Xiang Xuehai frowned . Only Jiang Liushi could get them out of this predicament .

Suddenly, she heard a scream coming from the east side of the hill . She saw a number of panic-stricken survivors rushing out from a hut . Xiang Xuehai had used a primary school on the hillside as a temporary command center . Most of the moats were situated there, and the floodwater could not reach it .

"Luo Junjiang, what happened?" Xiang Xuehai asked when she saw Luo Junjiang followed by several members .

Luo Junjiang had become thinner with dark circles under his eyes the past few days . "Boss Xiang, the eastern side of the wooden fence has been breached, and many zombies are climbing up from the back of the hill . I have sent a group of paranormals to stop them, but I'm afraid they'll need your help . There… are too many . " Luo Junjiang felt ashamed . He was in charge of the city's security, but he hadn't performed well . At many critical moments, he had to ask Xiang Xuehai for help . She had not been able to close her eyes for more the four days .

Hearing Luo Junjiang's words, Xiang Xuehai's heart sank . If seven or eight paranormals could not stand their ground, it only meant that the number of zombies had reached a terrible level .

"Impossible . The mountains on the east side are so high with steep cliffs . At most one or two zombies could climb up . " Xiang Xuehai frowned and was surprised .

"There were too many floods these days . We cut a lot of trees from the eastern hills and made huts . Plus, many mudslides were caused yesterday, and many zombies came down with the mud . In the morning, the guards fell asleep again, so they didn't spot the zombies rushing at us . When they spotted them, it was already too late . " Luo Junjiang was pale .

"Okay, let's hurry . Zhang Hai, Sun Kun, come with me!" Xiang Xuehai said .

Zhang Hai and Sun Kun hurriedly grabbed their Type 95 shotguns and tried to keep up . They remembered Jiang Liushi's words . They had to protect Xiang Xuehai, who was the survivors' spiritual pillar . If anything were to happen to Xiang Xuehai, the county would be completely paralyzed .

Before they even arrived, they could hear fierce and endless gunshots . "How could it be that so many zombies came from this direction?" When looking at the hundreds of zombies, Xiang Xuehai wondered .

"Zhang Hai, Sun Kun, go and assist the others . I'll go up and check!" Xiang Xuehai said .

Without waiting for their reactions, Xiang Xuehai had already rushed to the top of the hill . She looked down, and suddenly a terrified expression appeared on her face . From that place, she could look all the way to the submerged urban areas of northern Jiangsu . Before doomsday, that was an area bustling with life, but after the virus outbreak, it had become the zombies' paradise . If those zombies continued to move forward, they would reach the flooded area where the mutant pufferfish and large monsters were located .

At the foot of the mudslides, she could clearly see a reddish female zombie with skin peeling off its body . It gave off peculiar sounds, and every zombie walking by it would go in the direction of the hill .

'Another mutant zombie!?' Xiang Xuehai vaguely understood what was going on .

After doomsday, she had fought against zombies too many times . As a result, she was quite familiar with them . It was obvious that new mutant zombie had a special ability which could control other zombies .

Too dangerous! They had to face two enemies from two sides now!

Xiang Xuehai could not help but think about the young man who had repeatedly helped her . ' Jiang Liushi, where are you now?'
