“Captain! Lighthouse!!!”
Jon also saw it, and he almost immediately burst into tears.
Boom!
Chen Xinyue’s heart felt like it had been struck hard by something. Her eyes turned slightly hot, and she spoke with a trembling voice.
“Jon, drive over there…”
“What?!”
The rain was pouring heavily. Jon could barely make out the signal from the lighthouse and he couldn’t hear clearly what the captain had just said. With tears in his eyes, he turned his head to ask for clarification, only to see Chen Xinyue clutching a dagger and stabbing through the outstretched arm of an otherworldly creature that was reaching for them.
The woman’s eyes were bloodshot, and she roared fiercely—
“I told you to fucking drive over!!!”
Jon trembled all over as he was scolded by her.
Captain Chen was always calm and gentle, completely different from the rude male team members who often cursed. But now, the sudden use of profanity frightened Jon, leaving his face pale.
“Yes…yes!!!”
Jon immediately made a sharp turn, narrowly avoiding the sudden attack from an otherworldly creature that leaped out from the sea to pounce on them.
The sea was too dark, and Jon couldn’t see clearly what that thing looked like, but he did see several heads.
—Several human heads.
“Fuck!”
Jon felt like he was really about to faint from the scare. He truly wished he could just pass out immediately, but the surging adrenaline kept him incredibly awake.
However, this was just the beginning. Countless dark figures emerged underneath the water’s surface, closely and relentlessly pursuing them, like a pack of ravenous piranhas that had caught the scent of blood.
Rumble rumble—
The engine emitted a painful groan, overheating, and thick smoke billowed out from the back of the boat.
At this moment, the deformed yacht almost flew up from the water’s surface.
Occasionally drifting or making sharp turns, sometimes veering left and right, maneuvering through multiple obstacles, creating a thrilling experience akin to a top-level racing event.
“Ahhhhh!”
Jon on the one hand was screaming in fear, while on the other hand driving madly.
At this point, even Captain Chen, who had been through numerous battles, couldn’t stand steady. She fell onto Wang Yuan. Combining the weight of both of them, she tightly gripped the boat’s edge to prevent themselves from being thrown out.
In just a few minutes, the lighthouse was right in front of their eyes.
“Damn, this kid…”
The woman turned her head and looked at Jon’s figure, a glimmer of hope gradually emerging in her bewildered and doubtful eyes.
She thought that if she could survive this time, perhaps she should go and see what Jon’s father’s old motorcycle looked like.
“Cap…Captain…”
Wang Yuan’s weak voice sounds like a mosquito in the heavy rain. But Chen Xinyue still managed to hear it. She immediately took out the gun from the man’s mouth and leaned over to listen carefully to what he was saying.
But Wang Yuan said to her—
“Kill me…”
“Please… kill me…”
Chen Xinyue abruptly stood up. She immediately pulled open the man’s shirt, only to find numerous purple-red bulging veins, like roots, growing from the severed arm to the man’s neck. Inside, it seemed like countless little worms were squirming.
“Wang… Wang Yuan! Hold on! I order you to hold on!”
Chen Xinyue desperately tried to keep him conscious, shouting at him with all her might.
“Support… support! We have support coming!”
Even though it was just a small lighthouse, with only one or two sentinels inside, and perhaps they would still die in the end, but now, Chen Xinyue didn’t want to give up.
“It’s… It’s too late…”
Wang Yuan’s cloudy eyeballs bulged and spasmed, rolling upwards, leaving only bloodshot whites in his eye sockets.

With each word he spoke, he vomited a mouthful of blood.

Just then, the lighthouse’s searchlight suddenly shone upon them—
At this moment, everyone could clearly see the appearance of the monster.
It was larger than the two that Yuan Ye previously killed, with a body resembling a lizard and webbed human limbs. Its flesh and skin were covered in densely packed yellow-green pustules.
The most grotesque and bizarre aspect was its head, or rather, it could no longer be called a head, but rather a flat, gaping maw filled with densely packed rows of sharp teeth.
As it roared in anger, one could even see human limbs and partially shattered heads hanging between its teeth.
“King creature… king creature!”
Larry held onto the searchlight, his teeth chattering.
Generally speaking, the strength of an otherworldly creature is often proportional to its size. And considering that the monster came from the supply station, it further confirmed Larry’s suspicions.
The glaring light of the searchlight came too suddenly. The monster’s movement suddenly paused, and it was during this split second of immobility that a white light suddenly flashed.
The webbed hand that was originally reaching towards the yacht was directly cut off at the wrist. It fell heavily, narrowly, and dangerously missing the yacht as it plunged into the seawater.
Boom!
However, the massive wave that was stirred up still managed to capsize the yacht, causing all three people inside to fall into the water instantly.
Yuan Ye subconsciously touched his chest and, unsurprisingly, he felt a warm liquid on his fingertips.
Sure enough, the recently sutured wound had reopened.
However, the youth’s cold and stern expression did not show any signs of concern. He simply turned his head to glance at the location where the yacht had capsized.
That location was only twenty meters away from the lighthouse.
—Very safe.
This suggests that he must have saved the three people.
[Yuan Ye, you are too dangerous and unpredictable.]
[Your blade is not only aimed at the otherworldly creatures, but also pointed at your compatriots.]
[So unfortunately, you are not fit to be a decontamination officer fighting to protect humanity, nor are you fit to stay in the main city any longer.]
The young man closed his eyes, deeply burying the memories of the past. As he lifted his head once more, his heterochromatic eyes were tainted with a crimson glow.
In the next moment, Yuan Ye crouched down, gathered his strength, and leaped into the air. He stepped on the severed arm of the terrifying otherworldly creature; he soared upwards like an unstoppable butcher knife.
Boom—
Thunder roared and lightning flashed, huge waves rising all around.
The terrifying sound startled the octopus, who had been engrossed in its meal. It lifted its head and saw the panels that kept appearing in front.
[Reminder: Energy intake exceeded the limit of stamina value, stamina value limit +5.]
[Stamina Value: 105/105]
[Reminder: Sufficient stamina will help restore health, accelerate self-healing speed, and increase health value by 2 per minute.]
[Health Value: 52/100
Ye Yunfan was both surprised and delighted. He didn’t expect that the maximum limit of the stamina value could be increased and that the recovery speed would also accelerate when the stamina value is full!
—Then he should eat a little more.
However, at this moment, the little octopus suddenly felt the temperature rising, and it was rapidly increasing. He already felt scalded after just a few seconds of being stunned.
[Hot!]
[So hot, so hot!]
The small tentacles cry out in fear, curling up and hiding beneath the belly.
And the originally pitch-black environment also faintly began to have some light.
—A warm orange light.
Ye Yunfan’s mind spun quickly, and he suddenly realized.
Fuck!
Someone is burning his meal!!!
Hold on, no, if he doesn’t get out soon, he will be cooked into a meal!!!
The little octopus immediately scrambled and crawled, quickly running out.
At this time, Larry was still throwing torches at those lumps of corpses.
Because Yuan Ye had just said that these otherworldly creatures secrete oil after death, which is easy to ignite. And once ignited, it would become a line of defense for the lighthouse.
The cold seawater soothed the little tentacles very well, and they comfortably stretched out again.
Ye Yunfan carefully activated his camouflage skill and quietly stuck to the outer wall of the lighthouse.
Now that the sea was too unsafe, he decided to hide on top of the lighthouse. Just now, when Ye Yunfan emerged from the surface of the water, he tested it and he could breathe on land.
However, as soon as he turned his head, Ye Yunfan saw three familiar figures not far away.
Captain Chen was carrying the man with the severed arm and climbing up the lighthouse, while Jon was already up there, reaching out his hand to help.
Each of them looked battered and bruised, as if they had gone through a great battle.
At this time, Ye Yunfan heard an extremely piercing shriek, as if countless nails were scraping forcefully against a chalkboard.
The little octopus’s originally perked ears immediately flattened against his head, and he turned his head to look towards the source of the sound, only to see a fierce battle taking place on the other side.
The monstrously powerful young man was completely surrounded by countless monsters.
The deep sea is not the home ground of humans, so Yuan Ye could only briefly rely on the otherworldly creatures or their corpses for support.
Every attack, every dodge, felt like a close brush with death.
The once pristine snow-white cloak was torn apart, with large portions of it in tatters and a vibrant red color seeped out from the large area of the chest.
—He’s injured.
It seems quite serious.
The little octopus had excellent vision, and after just a few seconds of observation, he noticed that the youth’s speed was decreasing, and even the strength of his knife swings was not as powerful as before.
At this rate, it’s only a matter of time before the man is surrounded and killed. It’s like a young lion surrounded by a pack of hyenas.
Or even if he miraculously survives, it is highly likely that he will lose an arm or a leg.
With these thoughts in mind, Ye Yunfan turned his head to look at the man with a severed arm.
Tsk, this can’t go on like this.
After all, the other person is his savior. He can’t just stand by and watch like this.
Ye Yunfan stared intently at the battle, his brain working at high speed.
Just then, he suddenly discovered a peculiar little monster.
It had the appearance of a small ball of flesh, covered in numerous eyes and a large mouth. Other than that, it had no other distinguishing features.
It was quite small, about the size of two little octopuses, and compared to the monstrous creatures that were as large as whales, it was indeed very small.
Moreover, while all the other monsters were attacking Yuan Ye, that little creature quietly submerged deep in the sea, observing the situation with cold eyes.
Just as Ye Yunfan discovered the little monster, the tentacles suddenly became excited all at once.
[Eat!]
[Eat her!]
[Eat her!]
The emotion was several times stronger than the hunger from before, and the instinctual desire even caused Ye Yunfan’s body to tremble slightly.
Undoubtedly, he was still a human with rationality, but Ye Yunfan inexplicably believed that the strange and terrifying little monster would be delicious.
A thousand times more delicious than the large monster he had eaten earlier.
However, Ye Yunfan quickly forced himself to calm down.
If he could estimate the strength or rarity of the otherworldly creatures based on how delicious they are…
Ye Yunfan suddenly had a guess.
He quickly averted his gaze, using only his peripheral vision to confirm the location of the little monster, so as not to attract the other’s attention with his intense gaze.
However, Ye Yunfan was not arrogant enough to believe that he, an octopus with an attack power of only 7, was capable of killing this little monster.
Even if the other creature wasn’t skilled in combat, as long as Ye Yunfan got too close, he would be devoured by the group of huge monsters first.
So, he could only use a roundabout solution.
Ye Yunfan quickly calculated the feasibility of his plan in his mind. If his guess was correct, then perhaps he had a thirty percent chance of success.
Thirty percent chance of success… is a lot.
After all, when he was escaping before, he didn’t even have a ten percent chance of survival.
Fortunately, at that time, someone turned it to ten percent.
Ye Yunfan glanced once again at the center of the battlefield.
Very quickly, he confirmed his plan and immediately found a small piece of corpse, then burrowed into it, leaving four tentacles outside, paddling like a dog, slowly approaching the center of the battlefield.
Slash—
A sharp nail left a deep wound on the youth’s left arm, exposing the bone. Yuan Ye swiftly cut off the monster’s hand and quickly put some distance between them.
He didn’t even have time to cut off the contaminated flesh, and could only quickly switch to another hand to hold the knife, narrowly blocking the attacks from the other two otherworldly creatures.
Bang!
The tremendous force sent Yuan Ye flying backward. He flipped in the air to reduce some of the impact, but he couldn’t control where he would land.
Thud!
The youth crashed heavily into the water.
The clean yet fishy sweet smell of blood quickly spread through the seawater.
Not good!
Yuan Ye immediately covered his mouth and nose, suppressing a cough. Otherwise, the seawater would rush into his lungs.
The vibrant red blood seeped through his fingers, creating a beautiful bloom in the seawater.
The youth didn’t linger for long. He immediately swam toward the water’s surface. Otherwise, in another half a minute, he would become a delicious piece of flesh thrown into a group of sharks.
Just then, Yuan Ye suddenly felt something wrapping around his ankle.
Startled, he instinctively tried to swing his knife, but the thing moved too quickly. From his ankle, it wrapped around his calf, then swiftly climbed up his thigh, hooking onto the suspenders outside his shirt and slithering up to his lower back.
It is currently summer, and his clothing is very light.
Through the thin layer of his shirt, Yuan Ye could vividly sense the presence of the unknown creature.
Alive and bearing a striking resemblance to human limbs, yet much more softer.
At this very moment, the other party seemed to be caressing and climbing his body with almost an intimate and playful implication.
A hint of panic finally appeared on the youth’s usually grave and stern face. His muscles trembled involuntarily, his heart thumping wildly, and in an instant, he seemed to lose all his fighting power.
Currently, the little octopus finally climbed onto Yuan Ye’s shoulder. He extended a small tentacle and waved it in front of the youth’s eyes.
The latter didn’t move its head, only his heterochromatic eyes turned to look at him silently.
Yuan Ye, seeing that the other party didn’t immediately show any intention of chopping him, felt somewhat relieved.
He didn’t choose to appear directly in front of Yuan Ye and chose to climb up like this to confirm that the latter wouldn’t immediately attack and take his fish head.
While he wanted to repay the debt of gratitude, there must be an opportunity for repayment. Otherwise, if he were to be killed by his savior at the first encounter, how could he repay his debt?
After confirming the safety of his head, the little octopus jumped down from Yuan Ye’s shoulder and swam in front of him. It then pointed in the direction of the little monster.
Then he made several vicious gestures with his tentacles between his neck (if he had a neck).
Finally, the little octopus pointed at Yuan Ye’s head and formed a question mark with its small tentacle.
Putting it all together it means——
That guy, chop it off, chop it off!
You, understand?
