Qingshui River.
The mother river of the city.
As the river running through the city, it is ho to many fish species. What's more, with the city's intentional preservation efforts, human fishing is prohibited. Even before the apocalypse, it was a famous ecological sight.
No one knows exactly how many fish are inside.
Hunting Dog stood at one end of the river, feeling that since joining the fishing team, this was the most unbelievable ti of his life.
Hunting Dog is human.
Just like Scythe, their nickna origin is the sa, simply wanting to make a na for themselves in the Economic Developnt Zone.
Hunting Dog's sense of sll is very keen, strangely enough, he hasn't awakened any powers, but his sense of sll has been enhanced. As long as he has slled sothing once, if it appears within a thousand ters, he can accurately detect it.
An astonishing Talent.
For this reason, he was recruited into the investigation departnt, and after so effort, he beca the leader of a ten-mber scout team.
This is a very common phenonon.
Over ti, similar cases to Hunting Dog's are becoming more frequent. Many ordinary people, although not becoming professionals, have enhanced abilities.
Such as vision, agility, strength, or sll. Although these enhancents are insignificant compared to professionals, they can be considered outliers among humans. If ordinary people are 0, and professionals are 1, then these people would be the number in between, 0.5.
The energy in the air has changed.
More and more energy is altering the air and atmosphere of this planet.
The cause of all this is the Dinsion Walls beginning to thin, and energy from other dinsions has poured out and gathered together.
This world is like a body, and this energy is like gourt food. After absorbing enough nutrients, the originally weak body gradually becos strong and powerful.
Humans, too, are among the beneficiaries.
Enhancent for all.
Is no longer a luxury.
Hunting Dog stood by the riverbank, his eyes slightly dazed. He simply cannot describe what he has seen and heard during this ti. At first, he thought the Economic Developnt Zone was just an ordinary shelter, but after spending ti here, it turned out to be quite different.
Too many impossibilities have beco possible here.
Walls erected overnight, skeletons guarding the city, hanging corpse trees planted outside the city, and insect at factories. The Economic Developnt Zone was not destroyed by the apocalypse; instead, it welcod a second developnt.
Compared to these things, the most morable thing for him was the arrival of a certain professional in the Economic Developnt Zone not long ago.
As the scout team leader, Hunting Dog is not a small fry who hasn't seen the world. For him, professionals aren't all that rare. But not long ago, he received an assignnt to escort a professional in a fishing operation.
Initially, Hunting Dog considered this a routine task. But when he saw the person, he was montarily stunned.
A rmaid.
A real rmaid.
She had a petite stature and a beautiful face. She seed reticent, becoming flushed after saying just a few words to others. However, her arrival was destined to attract much attention.
A fish tail replaced her legs, attached beneath the girl.
Being near her felt like being near the ocean; Hunting Dog even slled a hint of the sea, refreshing his mind.
Hunting Dog was sowhat entranced.
Though it may seem fanciful, when Hunting Dog saw her, it was as if he had glimpsed the true aning of life, turning him into a different person.
Many people warned him that she was one of the inner circle of an influential figure, and rumors even suggested she might be one of that big man's private affairs, but he was unable to control his feelings.
This world is dangerous.
Even as a team leader, Hunting Dog's nerves remained taut, and he still felt fear when facing monsters.
But after eting her, everything changed. His many unsettled thoughts found a ho, even though he repeatedly told himself it was just a dream, he couldn't control his gaze.
Just observing from afar was enough; that was his only wish.
Seventeen years old.
An age like a blooming flower.
Since then, Hunting Dog began to carefully dress himself. Through so channels, he got a few well-fitting clothes, even starting to trim his hair. So much so, he contemplated whether to change his nickna. Hunting Dog? Who knows why he chose such a na originally.
When he saw the girl, everyone was captivated by her appearance.
But when she displayed her abilities, it further astonished so people.
On a clear day, due to the snow, the river had begun to freeze. Even for an adult, cutting through the ice would require so preparation ti.
However, when the girl floated onto the ice, everything changed. Cracks appeared in the originally hard ice, and then the once-stilled river slowly started to flow.
This was not the end.
The girl waved her hand and sang odd notes, and shortly the river began to boil, countless fat fish appeared around the girl.
Everyone's mouths hung open.
After a while, so awakened people began to shout, "Move quick!"
Prepared fishing nets were cast into the river. Due to genetic mutation, these fish had also transford, with palm-sized carp growing into half-ter-long monsters. Additionally, so fish even grew to two ters in length and could shoot ice harpoons to harm people.
However, Warriors do not always take a beating. Once the fish co ashore, their strength is reduced by at least fifty percent. With the help of guns and blades, no matter how terrifying the fish, they beco re corpses.
In just one day, the catch exceeds five thousand pounds!
A staggering number.
What does this signify?
It suggests that alongside insect at, the Economic Developnt Zone now has another source of food.
Moreover, compared to the fishy insect at, fish at is tastier and more nutritious.
Imagine fish at made into broth or dried fish. Most people's throats were starting to move, eager to taste this long-lost delicacy.
Hunting Dog will never forget that mont, feeling the young girl might be a ssenger sent from heaven specifically to rescue the Economic Developnt Zone.
As a talented team leader, Hunting Dog's proper place is in the investigation group, where he would have more opportunity for advancent.
Originally, Hunting Dog thought so, too.
But after eting her, everything changed; protecting her is no longer a task but a mission.
