Doomsday: Starting from the Titanic

Chapter 57 The Corpse Retriever

The Titanic, now stranded, was like a lighthouse in the darkness, as countless bizarre creatures attacked, turning the place into a living hell.

"It's over, it's over. I didn't die at Linhuang Embankment, but I'm afraid I'll die here!" Yu Wenwen looked at the ominous fortune slip and slumped to the ground, utterly helpless.

"Damn it, why is this thing like a dog skin plaster?" Wang Fei frowned, watching the rapidly approaching black shadow.

"Brother Fuxi, why don't we abandon this boat? We might have a chance to escape if we drive the pickup truck!" Ruhua couldn't help but suggest.

"Captain..." Even Li Xue couldn't help but be moved. This dark figure was not a zombie, but a real eerie entity.

In Daying City, Fuxi witnessed firsthand how it devoured the compound-eyed monster in one gulp, but the number of monsters was simply too large.

"Enough, all of you shut up! Now that we have the Titanic, it's like we have a small shelter. In terms of height and strength, it's definitely better than a pickup truck!"

"Once we drive out in our pickup trucks, I guarantee we'll be completely surrounded in no time!" Fu Xi's words silenced the air.

The panicked emotions were suppressed once again, and the group calmed down to think things through.

Fu Xi's words hit the nail on the head, especially since his repair work was almost finished.

……

"Life is your own, and you have to fight for it to survive. What's the point of talking about giving up until the very last moment?"

Fu Xi's words undoubtedly gave them a boost of confidence.

"Yes, if we were driving a pickup truck, we would definitely be killed. Now we can only rely on the Titanic!"

Li Xue recalled the scene at the Blue Light Power Station.

"Brother Fuxi, we'll listen to whatever you say!" Ruhua patted her chest to assure them.

"Kill them before they get close, then I'll repair the ship as quickly as possible!"

The Class C anomalies, like wild beasts, attacked from all sides, completely surrounding the Titanic.

A fierce battle ensued between the two sides, with Fu Xi fully activating the mechanics.

"Damn it, the monsters we're encountering are getting stronger and stronger. Even with the Mechanic's upgrade greatly increasing efficiency, we're still on the defensive against the Black Tide!"

Flames flashed within the black mist, and ultra-high-speed projectiles flew in all directions like meteors, blasting away the strange entities before they could even get close.

The situation gradually reversed, and the dark shadow that had originally swept in like a mountain was now just a few scattered pieces in the black mist.

"The ship has descended a few more meters. Hopefully, everything will go smoothly from here on out!" Fu Xi looked away.

……

On the other side of the battlefield, Wang Fei, sweating profusely, looked around helplessly. "These aren't passengers; they're clearly treating me like a laborer!"

Wang Fei's gaze fell on the two Ru Hua sisters again, who worked together to take down some of the approaching shadowy figures.

"Looks like I'm not that useful... I might as well save my energy and get down to business!" Wang Fei smiled wickedly, his gaze quickly falling on the battlefield.

Beneath the black mist, chunks of blood essence glowed red in the pool of blood, like a sky full of stars.

These were all C-level monsters that were killed.

"I've struck gold! I've struck gold! Everything else is mine!" Wang Fei's eyes gleamed with excitement as he first looked at Ru Hua.

They continued to resist, completely unaware of him, which gave him an opportunity.

"They're all mine!" Wang Fei pulled a bag from his waist and then used his supernatural ability to send chunks of blood essence flying into the bag.

"Wow, this is definitely a blessing in disguise! There are tens of thousands of blood essences here! I've struck it rich!"

"I'd better hide it well this time, I can't let that unscrupulous merchant find out!" Wang Fei thought to himself.

Wang Fei was working hard to collect the blood essence, unaware that Fu Xi had witnessed the whole scene.

"Go ahead and pick it up, pick up as much as you can!" Fu Xi sneered and looked away; he wasn't going to loot it now.

"This trip was indeed very fruitful. Not only did we obtain the close-in weapon system blueprints, but the overall strength of the team has also been greatly improved!"

He looked around with pity; the corpses scattered everywhere and the green blood staining the river surface were horrifying.

Fortunately, the situation was stabilized in time, but Yu Wenwen's words the next second poured cold water on him.

"Xiao Fu, we've run out of high-speed projectiles!" Yu Wenwen shouted as she walked over, looking as if she had lost a lot of weight.

Li Xue and the others then came over, and they also shook their heads, having already used up all their high-speed projectiles.

"Brother Fuxi, what do we do now that we've lost the high-speed projectiles?" Ruhua's throat bobbed.

Although she was a superhuman, she didn't want to plunge headlong into the battlefield without even knowing the rules of killing.

"Captain, I just checked, everything is here!" Li Xue said, carrying a box that contained only a few items.

Fu Xi opened his mouth again and again, but before he could speak, roars came from all around him once more.

Even though Fu Xi deliberately turned off the lights, the previous commotion still attracted some strange entities.

A horde of eerie, dark figures rushed in at breakneck speed and crashed violently into the Titanic.

"Bang!"

The boat rocked violently, and Yu Wenwen lost her balance and fell heavily to the ground.

"Damn it, my front tooth fell out!" Yu Wenwen covered her bleeding mouth, stood up angrily, and yelled, "You son of a bitch, I'll kill you!"

Yu Wenwen held the AK and pressed it against the edge of the deck, about to vent his anger, when Wang Fei stopped him.

"Wang Fei, what the hell are you doing?" Yu Wenwen cursed, her face contorted with rage.

However, Wang Fei, unlike his usual arrogant self, now groveled like a puppy: "Shut up if you want to live! This is an A-level eerie corpse retriever!"

For a moment, the air was deathly silent. Yu Wenwen's arrogant attitude changed, and her expression became serious.

Following Wang Fei's gaze, the group saw a blue giant carrying a basket on his back slowly walking towards them in the distance.

Behind him was a basket on his back.

Seeing this, Yu Wenwen clicked her tongue, crossed her arms, and sneered, "This is just a larger blood corpse, are you kidding me?"

"Little Feifei, you're saying this is an A-grade anomaly?"

Several people cast suspicious glances at her, but Fu Xi's expression turned serious.

He had personally experienced an A-level supernatural entity; that white beast almost killed him.

"Whether it's an A-level anomaly or not, we must stay away from it. This is not something we can fight against!" Fu Xi immediately shut down all the ship's facilities.

But the worst-case scenario still happened: the corpse retriever grabbed a Class C supernatural entity—a shadowy figure.

The once vibrant shadow immediately lost its vitality, and the entire shadow dimmed considerably.

The dark figure was thrown into the basket behind, and to everyone's astonishment, the corpse retriever grew larger and then walked towards them.

For a moment, Yu Wenwen's eyes widened like copper bells, and her hands and feet trembled involuntarily.

The strange creatures they had painstakingly killed before were like little chicks in front of the corpse retrievers.

"This...this is really an A-level anomaly?"

"Oh no, they're coming at us!"
