"Everyone, stay alert! There are many creatures in the ocean that have mutated, far more dangerous than those on land!" Zhang Yi shouted loudly as he began clearing the ugly mutant fish disguised as rmaids on the reef. Fortunately, their only ability was to confuse people’s minds, and their combat strength was extrely weak. Old Tian and the other crew mbers took out their rifles and fired rapidly, quickly killing many of the mutant fish. The remaining fish sensed danger and imdiately dove into the sea. However, after the Leisure had sailed far away, the lodious music sounded again from the cluster of reefs.

Zhang Yi ordered everyone to quickly return to the cabin. "From now on, no one is allowed out until safety is confird! Never underestimate the sea." Thinking about everything that had just happened, Zhang Yi couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. In this era of great mutation, superhuman abilities were all kinds of strange. Even these seemingly weak mutant fish almost got the better of him, a top-tier Delta-level superhuman. Everyone was still shaken.

"There are too many strange things in the ocean; it's best to be cautious." "I thought those powerful sea monsters were the scariest, but I never expected such small mutant fish almost took my life." "We have to be on guard!" This incident also served as a warning to Zhang Yi. Although his strength was growing stronger, he could not afford to be careless because this world was filled with danger everywhere. He had to be cautious, cautious, and cautious again. Even lions and tigers could be defeated by tiny mosquitoes.

"This sea area is strange. Increase patrols daily. No matter what weird things happen, report them to imdiately," Zhang Yi ordered Old Tian. "Yes, Mr. Zhang!" Old Tian passed the order down, instructing the crew to patrol the ship in pairs 24 hours a day from now on.

It was the fifth day after entering the Ice Fog sea area. That night, the darkness was deep, and the ship’s lights were dim. On the Rockflow Group’s side, a woman slowly climbed up from the bed, glanced at her sleeping companions, and quietly put on her clothes before creeping out. She walked down the corridor toward the restroom at the end. In recent days, she had her period, and suddenly felt discomfort in her stomach in the middle of the night, so she needed to use the bathroom.

The middle deck where the Rockflow Group stayed had its power cut off at night. Fortunately, there was only a long corridor, so she could feel her way in the dark. She stepped lightly on the floor, holding her aching stomach with one hand, moving forward with so difficulty. After arriving at the restroom, she quickly took care of her business. However, while she was using the toilet, a flash of lightning tore through the night sky outside.

The woman, nad Bai Jingyu, seed to sense sothing outside and hurriedly glanced out the window. But when she looked up, she saw nothing. Bai Jingyu thought it might be her imagination, but out of fear, she quickly tidied up and pushed open the restroom door to head back.

“Tap.”

“Tap.”

“Tap.”

...

Midnight was especially quiet, and the patrolling crew had already entered the control room. Bai Jingyu’s footsteps sounded a bit clearly, which made her a little scared because it felt like sothing was hiding within her footsteps. A growing sense of unease ford in her heart. She swallowed nervously and looked around timidly. But the surroundings were empty; nothing was there.

Bai Jingyu’s breathing quickened. She sped up her steps, wanting to return to her room faster. But as she turned, she suddenly saw sothing that made her pupils widen sharply. Her mouth opened wide as if to scream. However, her vocal cords hadn’t even made a sound yet. It was as if sothing had appeared that made her mouth open wider and wider, twisting into a strange arc no human mouth could form.

Her hands hung down and twisted forcefully like claws. Suddenly, her body began convulsing violently, but after a few seconds, she returned to calm. Bai Jingyu stood in the long corridor, shadows covering her face so her expression was unclear. After a few seconds, she slowly walked back to her room, pulled back the covers, and lay down to sleep.

The next day, Bai Jingyu got up and ate as usual. Her familiar companions noticed sothing odd in her expression and asked if she was sick. Bai Jingyu simply said, "It's nothing, just my period." Hearing this, others just smiled and offered so comforting words without asking further. Anyone who has had their period knows that during such tis, won should not be provoked, or else they will suffer terribly.

That night again, deep in the night, everyone had fallen into a deep sleep. Suddenly, Bai Jingyu’s eyes snapped open. She walked barefoot to the bed of the person who had greeted her during the day. Her eyes were cold and vacant, like a walking corpse. The faint light outside stretched her shadow long on the wall. Suddenly, her mouth split open rapidly, and a more than one-ter-long object shot out from her mouth and wrapped tightly around that person's face. He struggled desperately, but after just a few seconds, he stopped moving.

The quiet room echoed with faint sucking sounds. After finishing everything, Bai Jingyu returned to her bed quietly, pulled up the covers, and closed her eyes to sleep.

Early the next morning, soone in the room got up to use the restroom. Habitually, he patted his brother in the next bed to get him to co along. But when he reached out, his hand suddenly sank. Curious, he thought his brother had already gotten up. However, when he turned his head, he imdiately scread in terror.

The terrified and mournful scream startled everyone in the room, even waking those in the next room. "What happened?" "Who’s screaming?" The people who had just woken up were confused. The man who scread was trembling on the ground, eyes wide, pointing at the bed. "D-d-d-d… dried corpse!!!"

Everyone's eyes fixed on the bed. When they saw the scene clearly, their faces turned pale. The person on the bed looked as if all his flesh and blood had been sucked dry; his cheeks were deeply sunken, and his skin clung tightly to his skull. Two shriveled eyeballs still remained in their sockets, dry and vacant, staring upward.

"Quick! Go tell the people on the ship!" "Murder! There’s been another murder on the ship!" So emotionally fragile people could no longer hold back and began shouting anxiously. The news quickly reached Old Tian. He led people down with guns in hand. People from the neighboring rooms heard the news and gathered to watch, discussing wildly.

"Clear the way, everyone clear the way!" Old Tian walked over with his gun. Several key mbers of the Rockflow Group were there, including Li Zongyu, Ma Wenzheng, and Zhang Weiwei. Seeing Old Tian arrive, they greeted him.
