"Yoriichi, Yoriichi!"

"I'm going to eat you up, eat you up!"

The three-headed golden apple snail roared furiously, its massive body constantly emerging from the black tide.

At the same time, the black rain overhead began to expand continuously, and huge dark clouds moved with its body, as if a natural disaster were about to strike.

"The sound came from the strange Buddha head in the middle."

He Zhou stared in shock at the enormous three-headed snail-like creature, his body trembling slightly, as if he were frightened.

At this moment, it was the experienced Peng Long who calmed down first and began to direct everyone.

"Order the vanguard to retreat immediately. The original plan is cancelled. Withdraw from the Black Tide 108 area immediately!"

"Luo Li, what about those three negotiation experts? Contact them immediately and have them use drones to communicate with this monster."

"Whether it works or not, give it a try first."

"Logistics units, prepare; long-range support units, air strike units, all prepare! Aim at it, but no one is to fire without my order!"

Peng Long issued orders one by one, his tone firm and leaving no room for doubt.

Upon hearing his words, the panicked command center gradually calmed down, and everyone came to their senses.

Peng Long stared at the three-headed snail monster on the big screen, his eyes finally settling on the human head on the right.

Although the head looked incredibly bizarre, it was at least clearly human.

"Luo Li, have the three negotiation experts focus on the right-hand head. It has a human head and may be able to communicate."

"No matter what the other party says, record it all and upload it back to headquarters simultaneously."

"While you're at it, crop out this face, compare it to an image database, and see if this person exists nationwide?"

"I have a feeling this might be the first time we've truly understood the Kuroshio Current!"

……

……

The front line, the vanguard.

Upon hearing Peng Long's instructions, the three negotiation experts looked extremely grim, and each of them trembled violently.

Unlike those in the command center dozens of kilometers away, they faced the three golden apple snail monsters in person. Although they had evacuated in advance, the fear they experienced firsthand was on a completely different level from what they saw on video.

"Damn, how could we possibly communicate with this kind of monster?"

"This is terrifying! This thing is terrifying! I only glanced at it, and my body went out of control. This thing is definitely more than just a monster!"

"We have to go! This is the first time a creature has emerged from the Black Tide; we must try to communicate with it."

"It's okay if communication fails; failure is also a form of understanding!"

Ignoring the two frightened people behind him, Fu Yi suddenly turned around and looked at the three-headed snail monster in the distance, his eyes filled with fear and stubbornness.

His wife, children, and parents were all swallowed up by the black tide and disappeared forever.

From that moment on, he vowed that he must uncover the secrets of the Black Tide, that he must enter the Black Tide, and that he must find his family!

Even death is not an option!

"I'll go! Let me ask it, what exactly is this black tide? Where did those who disappeared in it go?"

After Fu Yi finished speaking, he piloted a drone and flew it toward the three-headed golden apple snail.

Soon, Fu Yi's voice came through the drone.

"Yoriichi, why are you looking for Yoriichi?"

The three-headed snail did not answer him.

"Is the Yoriichi you're looking for the founder of Kinko-ji Temple?"

The three-headed snail ghost still ignored him.

"We know where Master Yoriichi is. Are you looking for him to take revenge?"

Fu Yi asked several questions in a row, but the three-headed snail monster ignored him completely, continuing to call out Yoriichi's name as its massive body crawled around.

As the three-headed apple snail crawls along, the ground around it begins to wither rapidly in its wake.

Meanwhile, animals and plants that couldn't escape in time also began to mutate, their bodies constantly expanding and multiplying.

"Can't we communicate?"

Fu Yi frowned. Although the other party could speak, it was clearly more like some kind of instinctive murmur, lacking any capacity for thought.

He quickly aimed the drone at the human head on the far right and spoke again.

"My name is Fu Yi, and I represent humanity in the negotiations. Who are you? Where do you come from? Why have you come to Earth?"

Fu Yi tried again, not expecting much, but to his surprise, the human head actually started talking.

Its mouth split open, revealing a mouthful of black teeth, and its voice was hoarse and extremely evil.

"Heh heh heh, a bunch of useless trash!"

"They're about to die, and they're still spouting this nonsense! They're just like their original self—a bunch of trash, utter waste!"

"Don't you have missiles? And nuclear weapons? Bring them all out!"

"Blow this bastard to smithereens!"

"It keeps buzzing in my ear, never stopping, I've had enough!"

"Quick! Kill it!"

Black Tooth Zheng Sheng roared, his face growing increasingly manic as he spoke, his voice echoing throughout the surroundings, reaching almost everyone's ears.

Command room.

Peng Long and He Zhou stared in shock at Zheng Sheng, who was speaking with black teeth, and stood there dumbfounded for a moment.

Although it is only a few short sentences, it contains a wealth of information.

"It really can talk, and it even knows about weapons in the human world?"

"Fu Yi, continue asking him, what exactly does the Black Tide represent? Where did the people inside the Black Tide go? What's inside?"

Fu Yi nodded, about to ask a question, but he suddenly froze when the words were on the tip of his tongue.

"My hands, what's wrong with my hands? Why are they melting?"

At the same time, the crowd within the vanguard suddenly stirred.

"It itches so much! It feels like something's growing on my back!"

"Why is your face melting? Why am I melting too? So much slime, so much slime..."

Fu Yi suddenly felt as if all the bones in his body had disappeared; standing was so tiring, he wanted to lie down.

He strained to turn around and look back, his pupils instantly contracting.

The entire vanguard had enormous snail shells growing from their backs, four black tentacles on their heads, and their bodies slumped down like slugs.

Everyone turned into apple snails.

Why? Why is this happening? Everyone was already trying to escape. They had already evacuated beforehand.

He heard Zheng Sheng's angry curses again.

"Trash, garbage! Hahahaha!!!"

"You were doomed the moment you encountered the calamity beast, yet you're still struggling to escape."

"They're all useless!"

The drones in the sky also began to rot rapidly and fall from high altitudes.

Command room.

Peng Long stared in shock as he saw the vanguard of over a thousand men transform into giant snails in a bizarre manner.

Then he flew into a rage!

"Open fire! All of you, open fire!"

Dozens of missiles streaked across the sky, and in the massive flames, the three-headed golden snail was engulfed by the explosion.

But when the smoke cleared, everyone in the command room was horrified to discover...

In such a terrifying explosion, the monster actually crawled out of the smoke unharmed!

Just then.

Luo Li hurried into the command room, holding a thick file in her hand, her face solemn.

It contains academic records from elementary school to university, work experience after graduation, family members, online social media accounts, and various photos...

The file's name had two small print:

Zheng... Sheng!
