In the darkness, the countless red dots flickered like will-o'-the-wisps.

Those are the eyes of the mutant.

They were staring intently at this fresh flesh and blood that had invaded their territory, on the pipes all around, on the walls, and even on the iron racks overhead.

"hiss--"

A sharp screech shattered the silence.

Immediately following was the ear-piercing sound of countless sharp claws scraping against metal.

They moved.

Like a pack of hungry wolves that had caught the scent of blood, they pounced from all directions.

Qin Yu originally intended to take out the S-grade S686 from his backpack.

That's a good gun; one shot and it'll blast this rotten flesh into dust.

But he stopped.

This is the bottom deck of the ship, a huge iron can.

If a gun is fired in such an enclosed space, the sound will travel throughout the entire ship via the ventilation ducts.

At that point, it won't just be these few dozen monsters that will be attracted; thousands of monsters on the entire ship will probably swarm in like madmen.

Although he was not afraid.

But he found it too troublesome.

Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut, let alone a bunch of brainless beasts?

"Zzzzt!"

The machete was drawn from its sheath.

The gleaming blade traced a chilling arc in the darkness.

No nonsense.

There is no pre-animation.

Qin Yu stomped his foot, and the enhanced, terrifying explosive power was released instantly.

Instead of retreating, he advanced, crashing directly into the monster horde in front of him.

The mutant at the very front had just opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, before it could even let out a roar.

A flash of cold light had already grazed its neck.

"Pfft!"

The grotesque head flew straight up.

Black, foul-smelling blood gushed out like a fountain, splattering all over Qin Yu.

But with a slight shimmer on the surface of the S-class nanosuit, the filthy blood slid off like water droplets on a lotus leaf, leaving no trace.

"The first one."

Qin Yu's voice was as cold as ice.

Another monster pounced from the side, its sharp claws viciously clawing at Qin Yu's ribs.

"Sizzle!"

Sparks flew everywhere.

Those sharp claws, capable of piercing through steel plates, didn't even leave a white mark on the battle suit.

On the contrary, the monster's claws broke off two of them due to excessive force.

The monster paused for a moment.

It was in that moment of distraction that things happened.

Qin Yu slashed backhand with a knife.

The heavy back of the blade slammed directly onto its skull.

"Snap!"

The sound of the skull shattering was clearly audible.

The monster's head caved in instantly, its eyeballs bursting out, and it lay limp in the water like a lump of mud.

"Too slow."

Qin Yu shook his head.

These C-level mutants aren't even as fast as that dead bald guy.

Aside from being a bit ugly, he's no threat at all.

The surrounding monsters did not retreat because of the death of their companion.

The smell of blood only fueled their ferocity.

Seven or eight monsters pounced at us from different angles at the same time.

Some grabbed his legs, some grabbed his hands, and some tried to bite his neck.

Like a human pyramid, they instantly engulfed Qin Yu.

"Get out of here."

A low growl.

Qin Yu's muscles twitched violently.

The hardening function of the S-class battle suit was activated instantly, and the person seemed to turn into a steel sculpture.

Immediately afterwards, he exerted force from his waist, resulting in a large, sweeping horizontal motion.

The machete in his hand, which weighed several dozen kilograms, felt as light as a straw at that moment.

"call--"

The blade sliced ​​through the air, creating a gust of evil wind.

"Puff puff puff puff!"

A series of muffled thuds as sharp blades pierced flesh.

The five monsters surrounding him were cut in half at the waist by this single strike.

Intestines, internal organs, and black blood gushed out all over the ground.

The remaining few were sent flying by the immense force, crashing heavily onto the nearby generator, where they couldn't get up for a long time.

simple.

rough.

This is absolute power suppression.

Qin Yu flicked the blood off his knife and glanced at the stairs leading to the upper floor.

That area was also blocked.

Countless monsters were crawling down the stairs, like a black tide.

"This quantity is interesting."

Qin Yu narrowed his eyes.

If it were flat ground, he could slowly kill them all to gain experience.

But the cabin was too cramped and the water too deep to maneuver properly.

Moreover, the stench was so overpowering that even with the protective suit filtering it out, it was still unpleasant.

the most important is.

The item has arrived.

There's no need to waste your energy here with a bunch of rotten meat.

"Since you're so enthusiastic..."

Qin Yu looked up at the faintly lit exit above.

"Then let's go somewhere else to play."

He leaped up and grabbed a rusty pipe overhead.

With a burst of strength from his arms, he swung up like a monkey.

Avoiding the crowded monsters on the ground, they leaped directly to the second-floor platform.

"roar!!!"

Seeing its prey escape, the monster below went berserk and began climbing upwards.

Some even jumped up by stepping on their companions' bodies.

"Go for it."

Qin Yu sneered and turned to run away.

He moved with incredible speed, navigating the complex corridors as if they were flat ground.

If we encountered a few obstacles along the way, we would simply cleave them in two with a single stroke of our swords without even stopping.

This narrow terrain is practically his home turf for a master of individual combat.

But the commotion behind him grew louder and louder.

The entire ship seemed to come alive.

Countless footsteps, roars, and crashes converged, shaking the steel plates beneath their feet.

They rushed out of the deformed fire door.

We walked through the crew's mess hall, which was stained with blood.

Qin Yu kicked away an eyeless monster that was trying to ambush him, and used the momentum to rush into the cleaning passage.

It's too narrow here; the monster can't squeeze in and can only rage helplessly from behind.

This gave Qin Yu a chance to catch his breath.

He quickly passed through the passage and returned to the large void he had been in before.

The light is right above your head.

That's the entrance to the deck.

"Should we continue?"

Qin Yu looked back.

In the darkness, countless red eyes were staring intently at him, as if they wanted to devour him alive.

"Then come out, everyone."

"I don't think I have too much."

Qin Yu grabbed the rickety iron ladder and quickly climbed onto the deck.

The sunlight outside was a bit too bright.

The sea breeze, carrying a salty smell, swept over me, dispelling the stench on my body.

"call……"

Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

The air outside smells better.

He glanced at the deck beneath his feet.

The monsters did not retreat because of the sunlight.

Soon, ugly heads emerged from the dark cave entrance.

They seemed somewhat afraid of light, squinting their eyes, but their thirst for flesh and blood overwhelmed everything else.

One, two, ten...

More and more monsters surged onto the deck.

They hunched over, emitting low growls, and slowly surrounded Qin Yu.

Not just the cabin.

Monsters were crawling out of the driver's cab and even from the gaps between the shipping containers.

The rear half of the sunken ship now resembled an anthill that had been poked open.

At a glance, there are at least three or four hundred of them.

"Perfect."

Qin Yu was not surprised but rather pleased.

Let's gather them all together so we don't have to search for them one by one later.

He did not linger in the fight.

He turned around, took a few steps, rushed to the railing, and jumped.

"Bang!"

It landed steadily on the "Black Hawk" assault boat parked below.

The huge commotion caused the assault boat to rock violently on the sea surface several times.

Qin Yu immediately sat in the driver's seat and pressed the start button.

"boom--"

The engine roared.

The monsters on the deck rushed to the railing, stretching out their claws to grab him, but they could only grasp at air.

Some of the monsters couldn't stop in time and fell into the sea like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

"Splash! Splash!"

The monster that fell into the water struggled frantically in the sea, but it couldn't swim at all and quickly sank.

Qin Yu watched this scene with a mocking smile.

"A bunch of landlubbers."

He stepped on the gas.

The assault boat cut a white spray, instantly increasing the distance between itself and the sunken ship.

But he didn't go far.

Instead, it stopped a few hundred meters away from the shipwreck.

This is a safe distance.

The monsters could only roar at him from the deck, but they were powerless to do anything to him.

Qin Yu took out a bottle of water, unscrewed the cap, and took a sip.

I moistened my slightly dry throat.

"System, locate my main ship."

**[Location in progress...]**

**[Distance from host's current location: 20 nautical miles.]**

**Full-speed sailing time: 45 minutes.**

Qin Yu glanced at the sunken ship that resembled an isolated island.

Although the ship is broken, the steel, equipment, and supplies in those containers on board are an astronomical figure.

If I try to move it all by myself, it'll take forever.

Moreover, these monsters are also a problem.

Using a knife to chop is too tiring.

Using a gun wastes too many bullets.

What should we do then?

Of course, it's best to cover it with even more intense firepower.

"Since I have cheat codes, why should I engage in hand-to-hand combat with you guys?"

A glint of light flashed in Qin Yu's eyes.

His current base, the 800-square-meter "Presidential" ship, is no longer the dilapidated wooden raft it once was.

"Return journey."

Qin Yu turned the boat around.

The assault boat sped towards the base like a sharp arrow.

……

Twenty minutes later.

A huge dark shadow appeared on the sea.

It was a steel fortress at sea.

The 800-square-meter space has been expanded and reinforced multiple times and is now taking shape.

It was surrounded by a high wall made of thick steel plates.

A two-story building stood on the deck; that was their living area.

And at the four corners of the wall.

Several dark pipes were vaguely visible, emanating a chilling murderous aura.

That was Qin Yu's source of confidence.

The assault boats approached.

"Qin Yu!"

As soon as she landed, Yao Xue ran over.

She was still wearing that black battle suit, clutching a scalpel tightly in her hand, clearly on high alert.

Seeing Qin Yu return safely, although he was a little dirty, there were no obvious injuries.

Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

"Are you alright?"

She stepped forward, wanting to check Qin Yu's body.

"fine."

Qin Yu waved his hand and jumped off the assault boat.

"Where's that bald guy?"

Yao Qian also came over and curiously looked into the cabin.

"He's dead."

Qin Yu said casually, as if he had just stepped on a cockroach.

"Trying to scheme against me? I dealt with them."

The two women exchanged a glance but neither spoke.

This kind of thing is perfectly normal in this world.

"So... has the engine been found?"

Yao Qian was more concerned about this.

"Found it, it's in the backpack."

Qin Yu walked to the center of the deck and glanced at the familiar giant ship.

"Not only did they find the engine."

"I also discovered a treasure trove."

He turned around and looked at the two sisters.

"Get ready."

We're moving.

"move place?"

Yao Xue was taken aback.

"Is this ship... about to leave?"

"right."

Qin Yu nodded.

"There's a sunken ship ahead, full of supplies."

"And it's a natural haven."

"The cold wave that will hit three days later will be much safer next to that big ship than on the open sea."

"But……"

Yao Qian pointed to the sea.

"Our boat has no power; we can only rely on sails and ocean currents. How are we going to get across?"

"Who says there's no motivation?"

Qin Yu's lips curled into a smile.

With a wave of his hand.

"when!"

A loud bang.

The diesel generator set, weighing several tons, appeared out of nowhere on the deck.

It startled the two of them.

"And this too."

Qin Yu then took out the Class C thruster component.

"Even though it's a defective product, I have a way to fix it."

Qin Yu walked to the power tank at the stern of the ship.

This is the spot he reserved.

"System, merge and repair."

**[Under repair...]**

**[Integrating...]**

A dazzling light flashed.

The generator and the propulsion unit miraculously fused together and automatically installed themselves into the power stern.

The formerly worn-out parts have been completely renewed.

It has been transformed into a giant propeller thruster full of technological sophistication.

**[Congratulations, host! You have obtained: Adaptive Hybrid Propulsion System (Class B)!]**

**[Power: 2000 horsepower]**

**[Features: Quiet, fuel-efficient, robust and durable.]**

"Done."

Qin Yu patted the dust off his hands.

"Yao Qian, go to the driver's seat."

"Destination: Southeast. Full speed ahead."

"Alright! I'm the captain now!"

Yao Qian cheered excitedly and strode towards the control room with her long legs.

"Yao Xue, go check the weapons system."

Qin Yu's expression turned serious.

"Especially 'Deep Sea Guardian' and 'Deep Sea Ghost'."

"We're about to have a tough battle."

Yao Xue nodded, her eyes sharpening.

"clear."

……

Two hours later.

The outline of the shipwreck reappeared in sight.

This time.

Qin Yu did not come alone.

He arrived in his steel fortress.

The massive "President" cruise ship, like a giant whale, broke through the waves and slowly approached the stranded cargo ship with unparalleled momentum.

The monsters on the sunken ship seemed to sense a threat.

They gathered on the deck, roaring deafeningly at the behemoth.

The number is greater than when Qin Yu left.

It was densely packed, a dark mass.

It's chilling to look at.

"My God... so many..."

In the driver's seat, Yao Qian looked at the monitor screen, her face pale.

"This is the treasure trove you were talking about?"

"This is practically a monster's den!"

Qin Yu stood on the command platform at the bow of the ship.

The sea breeze made his clothes flutter.

He looked at the menacing monsters without a trace of fear in his eyes.

Only a chilling killing intent remained.

"Don't be afraid."

"In the face of overwhelming firepower, numbers are just numbers."

Qin Yu picked up the walkie-talkie.

His voice was steady and powerful.

"Yao Xue, 'Deep Sea Guardian', teaser."

The bow of the ship.

The two heavy steel plates slid apart slowly.

The futuristic-looking twin-barreled automatic turret rose up.

**[Deep Sea Guardian (S-Rank, Damaged)]**

**[Rate of fire: 3000 rounds per minute.]**

**[Functions: Automatic target acquisition, plasma bombardment.]**

This is not meant for hitting people.

This is used to shoot down missiles and airplanes!

The dark cannon muzzle, driven by a servo motor, slowly rotated, locking onto the most densely packed area on the sunken ship's deck.

The cold, mechanical feel of it made those monsters, driven only by animalistic instincts, feel a sense of unease.

The roars subsided considerably.

"Locked in place."

Yao Xue's calm voice came through the walkie-talkie.

"Fire."

Qin Yu did not hesitate at all.

Even if the other side has hundreds of lives.

Even if they were humans in the past.

In this apocalyptic world, resources belong only to the strong.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!"

That was the roar of death.

Countless plasma cannons instantly traversed a distance of hundreds of meters, slamming into the monster horde.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

A series of rapid explosions rang out on the deck of the sunken ship.

Blood and flesh flew everywhere.

Real blood and flesh flying everywhere.

The tough skin that those Class C mutants were so proud of was as fragile as paper in the face of this plasma cannon.

Each shell that explodes can take away four or five monsters.

Severed limbs, bits of flesh, and black blood mingled together, forming a foul-smelling blood mist in the air.

The monster's screams were completely drowned out by the sound of artillery fire.

This is a massacre.

One-sided massacre.

The once arrogant monster horde collapsed instantly.

They wanted to escape, to hide back in the cabin.

But the artillery fire was too intense.

There are absolutely no blind spots.

The steel plate was torn apart, and the container was punched through.

The entire deck looked as if it had been plowed out.

"Something's coming from underwater!"

Yao Qian's exclamation came through the walkie-talkie.

"Radar indicates a large creature is rapidly approaching the hull!"

Qin Yu glanced at the sonic screen next to him.

Several huge red dots are rising from the deep sea.

Those were giant sea monsters drawn by the smell of blood.

Or perhaps they were the original guardians of this shipwreck.

"Hmph, as expected, there's a big one here."

Qin Yu sneered.

"We've been waiting for you."

He pressed another red button.

"Activate 'Deep Sea Ghost'."

Bottom of the boat.

Two black hatches opened.

**[Deep Sea Ghost (SS-level Defensive Heavy Weapon: Fully Automatic High-Pressure Water Cannon)**

He poked his head out

Only two deafening water cannons, like the scythe of death, swiftly swept across the underwater landscape.

A few seconds later.

"Thump!!!"

Two deep, loud thuds came from the seabed.

Followed by.

Two enormous water columns shot into the sky, reaching heights of over ten meters.

The seawater was instantly dyed black.

Countless huge chunks of flesh floated to the surface.

Those were the tentacles of some kind of giant octopus, each one thicker than a thigh.

The red dot on the radar disappeared instantly.

Sold out instantly.

The world is quiet now.

The gunfire ceased.

The smoke of battle has cleared.

The once crowded and noisy shipwreck deck is now empty.

All that remained were rotten flesh and still-smoking bomb craters.

Qin Yu stood at the bow of the ship and lowered his binoculars.

I picked up a bottle of water and slowly took a sip.

The feeling of being in control made every pore on his body relax.

"That's all for now."

He spoke into the walkie-talkie.

"Move the boat closer."

"We need to start ordering the goods."
