Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

Chapter 211 Mutant Jellyfish

With the mutated octopus dead, everyone relaxed and was about to sit down to rest when they saw countless lights suddenly appear on the distant horizon.

Colorful, shimmering, fluttering everywhere, it's very beautiful.

Zhou Yang and the others stared at the light, somewhat bewildered, exchanging bewildered glances, unsure of what it was.

Chi Feng looked at the shimmering objects and sighed.

Sure enough, this mutated octopus was calling for reinforcements.

Realizing this, Chi Feng walked over to Zhou Yang and whispered a hint to him:

"Be careful later, those are mutated multicolored jellyfish, they can fly, they're poisonous and electrified! And these things always come in large groups, along with their companion fish—mutated herding fish. Oh, right, those mutated herding fish are also electrified. But if you're lucky, you might have a chance to get a lightning-type crystal core comparable to level five or six, which doesn't sound too bad, does it?"

After Chi Feng finished speaking, he stroked his chin and nodded.

"..."

After hearing this, Zhou Yang was completely stunned, thinking to himself that the mutated creatures in the ocean were indeed more and more monstrous than the last.

Standing nearby, Zhou Xian suddenly felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at those things, so he asked the superhuman from the Shanghai base, "Brother, what are these things?"

Unfortunately, the other party had never seen such a sight before either, and shook his head: "Neither have I. Usually, the attackers are flying fish that can explode, and smaller mutated octopuses and shrimp soldiers and crab generals."

Seeing that his inquiries yielded no results, Zhou Xian could only turn his gaze away and pray in his heart that these things weren't coming for the base.

Unfortunately, his prayers were of no use.

The lights were moving at incredible speed toward the Shanghai base, reaching within a hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

From a distance, it only looked beautiful, but now that it's up close, I realize that the more beautiful something is, the more terrifying it can be.

Giant flying jellyfish floated in mid-air, flashes of lightning occasionally streaking across their multicolored light.

Hanging from the wandering tentacles were enlarged versions of small herdsmen with wings, which were obviously also mutated.

Due to their sheer number and massive size, they seemed to encircle the Shanghai base, bathing the entire base in a vibrant, neon-like glow.

Upon seeing this, everyone on the city wall couldn't help but take a step back.

Shen Zechuan and Yan Fei pulled Zhou Yang and Lu Xingye behind them respectively.

The other survivors in the base also sensed the colorful lights overhead and looked up curiously, only to see the mutated giant jellyfish surrounding them.

Everyone was startled.

The superhuman remained relatively calm, but the ordinary people, after being tormented by the sea monster for so long, were now so weak in the knees that they could barely stand.

Fu Guoliang and his soldiers remained below, their faces ashen as they stared at the giant jellyfish in the sky outside the city.

Then, he waved his hand, instructing his men to prepare large-scale firearms, and ordered all civilians to continue evacuating to the rear of the base, already prepared to defend the Shanghai base to the death.

Looking at the many young people around him who were only in their early twenties, Fu Guoliang still sighed.

As the mutated jellyfish approached the city, Zhou Yang and the others realized that these jellyfish were much larger than they had imagined, only slightly smaller than the mutated octopuses they had encountered before.

Taking advantage of everyone's attention being focused on the jellyfish, Zhou Yang took a few steps back and found Chi Feng hiding behind them.

"You must have seen these things before, right? Tell me what their weaknesses are? Do they still rely on water-based abilities to pump water?"

"Hmm, draining the water would work, but there are too many of them, it's too much work and too time-consuming. However, this thing is afraid of light, so it will retreat on its own once dawn breaks. Of course, it would be even better if there was a light-elemental ability user right now; a few light beams would be enough..."

Zhou Yang asked in surprise, "You have this kind of superpower?"

Chi Feng nodded: "Yes, I met one in Shanghai before, but he should still be at another base now."

Zhou Yang: "..."

Sigh, what a waste of time, it's all for nothing!

It's good to have weaknesses. If you can't beat them, just wait it out. You have to wait until dawn, no matter what.

Zhou Yang glanced down at the watch on his wrist.

It's a little past 3 a.m. now, and the sun will rise in a little over an hour.

It should last for more than an hour, that should be enough.

After thinking it over, Zhou Yang walked back to Shen Zechuan, Yan Fei, and Lu Xingye and told them all the information he had just gotten from Chi Feng.

After listening to Zhou Yang's analysis of the mutated jellyfish, Shen Zechuan and Yan Fei immediately made a decision.

Yan Fei took the lead in assigning tasks to everyone: "Let the water system continue pumping water, and the rest of you continue defending. But we definitely can't hold out with just a few of us. Captain Zhou, get the other level 4 ability users down here to come up too. I see these jellyfish are electrified, so the more earth-type ability users the better."

Zhou Xian nodded and immediately gave a hand signal to Zhou Qi and the others who were waiting below.

Upon receiving the order, Zhou Qi arrived shortly afterward with a large group of people.

Lu Yanwen was among them, and he immediately walked up to Zhou Yang and the others.

Zhou Yang asked Xu Qingtang about her because he didn't see her, and was relieved to learn that she was alright down there.

Once everyone was present, Zhou Xian and Song Lian quickly made arrangements.

The crowd quickly dispersed.

While Zhou Yang and the others were preparing for battle, the jellyfish in the sky above the city had already arrived at the battlefield and were right in front of them.

Before the people on the city wall could react, the mutated jellyfish at the very front of the wall suddenly began to wave their tentacles, and then, amidst a dazzling array of colorful lights, one mutated herding fish after another pounced on the crowd.

Each one of them was crackling with electricity, looking just like a ball of lightning.

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately used their special abilities to attack the mutated herding fish, determined to intercept them in mid-air.

The mutated herdsmen exploded one by one, and thunderous roars echoed through the sky.

On the city wall, most of the mutated herdsmen were successfully stopped, but quite a few still managed to slip through the net and fly into the base.

Fortunately, Fu Guoliang and his tens of thousands of soldiers had been guarding the area. When they saw the mutated fish breaking through the encirclement and heading towards the base, they launched rocket artillery and successfully intercepted all the mutated fish.

Seeing that its first attack missed, the mutated jellyfish was clearly very unhappy and immediately launched another batch of mutated herding fish.

This time, due to the large number of them, Zhou Yang and his team on the city wall were only able to intercept 70%.

The remaining 30% flew into the city. Although most of them were intercepted by Fu Guoliang and his team, some still crashed into many buildings and the ground in the base. Fortunately, the ordinary refugees had already been transferred to the rear, so there were not many casualties.
