With no other option, the contractor reluctantly boarded the pirate ship and slowly rowed towards the center of the river in a horrifying scene of corpses. Although the current was swift, the floating corpses seemed to be firmly fixed in place. What was even more terrifying was that the eyes of those corpses seemed to follow Bai Ge's movements.

"Brother Bai, Brother Bai."

The contractor asked with a mournful face, "Why do these corpses seem to be drifting along with our ship?"

"That's right."

Bai Ge said seriously, "These corpses are not ordinary corpses, but cursed corpses, carrying a strong yin energy."

"You mean..."

The contractor's face changed drastically, and he desperately tried to get away from the ship's side. "These damned things are water monkeys?"

"Do not."

Bai Ge shook his head, used the boat pole to paddle through the corpses on the water, and created a waterway leading to the center of the river.

"Compared to things in the water, the water monkey is like a well-behaved SpongeBob SquarePants."

The contractor stared at the bottomless, black water and silently swallowed.

After rowing to the middle of the river, Bai Ge put away the pole, gestured for them to proceed, and said, "Get in the water. You can rest assured that you have your wife and bank card with us."

"..."

The contractor stared at the water surface, which was covered with countless floating corpses, and then glanced at the armed personnel from relevant departments on the shore. Thinking that if he didn't take the initiative, he might become another floating corpse in the water, he gritted his teeth and jumped in.

The river water was icy cold, clinging to his wet clothes and making him shiver. Even as he thrashed about on the surface in his life jacket, he couldn't suppress the deep-seated fear within him. It was as if countless venomous eyes were watching him from the depths, waiting to drag him down.

"Cough cough cough."

He choked on the foul-smelling, murky river water when he lost focus for a moment. He coughed desperately and swung his arms frantically, trying to push aside the densely packed corpses floating in the water. However, these long-dead bodies seemed to weigh a ton, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't push them away. Instead, they gathered around him.

The swollen, unrecognizable corpses were right in front of him, which terrified a middle-aged man who screamed in terror. At first, he could scream with all his might, but after a dozen minutes, his voice went hoarse and he could no longer scream. A few minutes later, he finally stopped screaming completely, numbly and skillfully pushing aside the corpses and swimming back and forth in the waterway.

In the end, they even got so bored that they started poking the corpses' stomachs with sticks to see what would crawl out. If a few fish came out, they would catch them and take them home as snacks.

Bai Ge held onto the rope the whole time, still seriously analyzing the humidity, air pressure and water temperature, just like when he was a child seriously calculating math problems. Finally, he closed the notebook and revealed a confident attitude.

This wave is definitely not going to be a short-seller!

The contractor swam in the icy river for nearly an hour, his lips turning purple from the cold, and clung tightly to the gunwale of the boat.

"Brother Bai, let's call it a day. If we don't call it a day, I'll freeze to death before I get eaten. Seriously, take my advice. There's no shame in being in the Air Force."

He tossed the tilapia he had just caught onto the boat and said, "Take these back with you."

Do you look down on me?

Bai Ge stood up, slammed the pole on the ground, and said coldly, "You don't give me, Bai Ge, any face? Fine, I won't put up with it!"

The contractor felt a chill run down his spine, sensing that something bad was about to happen.

Section Chief Xing was almost asleep while waiting on the riverbank when he was woken up by Officer Wang next to him. He quickly rubbed his eyes and saw Bai Ge waving to him from the middle of the river.

He immediately perked up and asked anxiously, "How is it? What's down there?"

"Section Chief Xing."

Bai Ge paused for a moment, then shouted, "Get the water pump up."

Chapter 118 It should be a Guangdong cockroach

I had no inspiration during the day yesterday, so I had to stay up all night writing.

A temporary dam, built overnight, blocked the river's flow. Meanwhile, man-made diversion channels and pumps were used in shifts to drain the river as quickly as possible. As the water level gradually receded, the riverbed gradually came into view.

The white corpses were soaking in the black, filthy mud, emitting a disgusting stench. From the black mud that reached up to the knees and thighs, foul bubbles kept rising, then bursting.

However, to Section Chief Xing's shock, there was a cracked concrete foundation beneath the sluice gate, filled with all sorts of horrifying, pale corpses. Many of the bodies had spilled out from the cracked concrete foundation, and some severed limbs were stuck in the cracks, their bones exposed by being gnawed away.

"What kind of hell is this place?"

Even having witnessed all sorts of terrifying and bizarre scenes, this was the first time he had ever seen such a massive and illogical underwater charnel house. Section Chief Xing strode up to the contractor, grabbed him by the collar, pointed at the corpses below, and demanded sharply, "The evidence is conclusive. What do you have to say for yourself now?"

"I really didn't know that."

The contractor said with a mournful face, "I just carried out the construction according to the plan provided by the Water Resources Bureau, and I really know nothing else!"

However, Bai Ge walked directly down from the shore towards the crumbling corpse pit.

"Mr. Bai, wait a moment."

Section Chief Xing immediately jumped into the mud, ignoring the filth and stench, to catch up with Bai Ge and try to stop him. "The official players from the Special Affairs Bureau are already on their way. There's no need for you to take the risk yourself."

"Shh, didn't you hear me?"

Bai Ge made a shushing gesture, indicating that the other person should prick up their ears and listen carefully, "There's movement inside."

"movement?"

However, Section Chief Xing felt like he hadn't heard anything. He was about to speak when Bai Ge had already reached the entrance of the cracked concrete cave and jumped in.

Inside was a long, narrow corridor filled with waist-deep water. Fearing something might happen in the water, Section Chief Xing quickly threw his rain-proof glow stick into the water, illuminating a dark and gloomy path.

"I can't believe there's a place like this here."

Clearly, this sluice gate power station hides some unknown secrets, and after today's investigation concludes, the official authorities in Xu City will likely soon be embroiled in a bloody storm.

However, this part is not handled by the Special Affairs Bureau, but by the Friendship Department team, which specializes in internal investigations, sniffing out and eliminating traitors.

There is an iron gate in front.

Holding his flashlight high, Bai Ge walked along without encountering any danger except for the gruesome corpses. Bai Ge guessed that this place must have been abandoned.

With his hand on the doorknob, he pushed the iron gate open forcefully, and a foul, pungent odor wafted out from the dark room.

Section Chief Xing took out a glow stick and threw it in, but the scene inside was quite unexpected.

A bizarre corpse was placed in a reinforced concrete structure resembling an operating table. The corpse was firmly imprisoned within a massive, incredibly sturdy metal device. A strange black liquid was continuously extracted from the corpse through a mining system consisting of syringes, hydraulic valves, and filters. The liquid was then transported to the adjacent room through pipes embedded in the ceiling and walls.

"What the hell is this thing?"

Bai Ge glanced at the operating table. The humanoid corpse, barely recognizable, had swelled and wrinkled skin, making it impossible to even see its face. It looked like some kind of bizarre creature recorded in the Necronomicon.

The paper documents were soaked and rotten, with only some X-ray images of skeletons floating in the water. The waterlogged computer was severely damaged, and Bai Ge could only use the dim light to search for clues and piece together the truth in the dark, waist-deep water.

"It appears that the owner of this room left in a very hurry and didn't even have time to destroy the documents."

"Could this person be performing some kind of summoning ritual?"

Although Section Chief Xing did not directly participate in the dungeon mission, he learned from the Special Affairs Bureau's field agents that some players even performed rituals to summon alien creatures or even Outer Worlds.

Bai Ge picked up a notebook from the water and placed it on a dry surface, saying, "However, based on the situation at the scene, I am more inclined to believe that the owner of the room was conducting some kind of inhumane experiment."

"Inhumane experiments?"

The first thing that came to Section Chief Xing's mind was that humanoid salamander with strange patchwork marks.

He clenched his fists. Who on earth dared to run wild on Xushi's turf? Did they have a death wish?

"Perhaps we can go and take a look in the next room. We might find something unexpected. The research here is beyond what can be described as the work of a mad scientist without any morals."

Bai Ge paused for a moment, then exclaimed in admiration, "It's like a scientist from hell."

Upon hearing this name, Section Chief Xing's heart skipped a beat, and the previously chaotic clues in his mind instantly came together with this reminder.

Bai Ge took two steps forward through the sewage, intending to enter the room next door, when suddenly, a hand, swollen from being soaked in water, peeked out from behind the half-open door.

Section Chief Xing, gripping his pistol, was so frightened he almost pulled the trigger. In such a tense moment, even the slightest disturbance could trigger an overreaction.

"Watch out, the main character is about to show up!"

The swollen, pale hand rested on the doorway and slowly opened it.

In the quiet darkness where you could hear breathing, there was the incessant dripping sound of water.

The humanoid creature was soaking wet, with water constantly seeping from its body.

The water on his body seemed impossible to drain. Despite being excessively submerged, his skin didn't appear deathly pale, but rather a glossy brownish-red. His skin was severely swollen; his legs were so thick they looked almost splitting open, and his neck was swollen into a circle, completely fused to his body. The skin on his back was peeling off, as if sprouting wings. Hands had even grown from his armpits, and the outline of a human hand was faintly visible near his last rib. His entire body was swollen and white, completely transformed, no longer human, but resembling a humanoid insect.

Section Chief Xing had never seen such a strange creature before, and even had the irrational thought of "How weird, let me take another look" suddenly popping into his mind.

Helpless, Section Chief Xing could only turn to Bai Ge, who was knowledgeable and experienced, for help, "Mr. Bai, what the hell is this thing?"

"If I'm not mistaken..."

Bai Ge stared intently at the humanoid monster in front of him, his eyes gleaming, and said, "It should be a Guangdong cockroach."

Chapter 119 Chimera Convergence Rampage Bicycle

To everyone's surprise, this cockroach-like creature still retained the consciousness of a living person. It covered its disproportionately large head, its tentacles twitching constantly, and its mandibles rotating, emitting a hissing sound.

Section Chief Xing's gaze passed over the humanoid monster in front of him and stared intently at the equipment in the room behind him. Inside were huge glass containers half-submerged in water, and the yellowish-brown liquid inside the containers was soaking a humanoid shape.

One of them had broken open, and the liquid inside had spilled all over the ground.

Two sharp abdominal legs gripped its head tightly, shaking it incessantly and emitting incomprehensible insect hissing sounds.

He seemed to understand Bai Ge's tone, and slowly opened his mouth, speaking in a hoarse and husky voice, "You are also from Guangdong, so we are fellow villagers."

???

"Stop!"

Section Chief Xing righteously refused, saying, "We Earthlings don't have a perverted fellow villager like you!"

No, I wasn't talking about you.

The humanoid cockroach monster pointed at Bai Ge in front of it and slowly said, "He is my fellow villager."

"Okay, fellow villager."

Bai Ge paused for a moment, then pulled out the insecticide Black Whirlwind and said righteously, "Then can I borrow your head to claim some military merit?"

"No, get out."

The cockroach-like monster fell silent, sighed quietly, and slowly said, "The world changes so fast. Back then, my master was penniless. He simply said, 'I'll take care of you,' and resolutely threw me into the neighbor's rice jar. Now he's thinking of exterminating us all?"

"Wait a moment."

Bai Ge frowned and said, "After the nuclear leak, someone sold mutated cockroaches as spicy crayfish from Xuyi, and they sold out. The culprit has never been caught. Could it have been your master who did it?"

"That's not right!"
