Doomsday: Starting from the Titanic

Chapter 58 Escape from the Class A Mysterious Corpse Retriever

"Damn it, he's coming this way!" Yu Wenwen's face turned pale, all traces of her previous disdain gone.

He never imagined that the little old man was actually an A-level supernatural being.

Fu Xi's expression also turned serious. The mechanic had already pushed the machine to its limit, but it was still a little short.

……

But the one who was most afraid was Wang Fei. Unlike Fu Xi and the others, Wang Fei had heard of this corpse retriever long ago.

"Quick, Fuxi, don't let him get close! His killing pattern is touch; anything he touches will die."

Wang Fei's expression was extremely solemn, and his voice trembled.

Fu Xi frowned, her palms pressed tightly against the hull of the boat.

He cannot leave now; if he does, the ship's repairs will be rendered useless!

Fu Xi's mind was in turmoil. He couldn't believe his bad luck in encountering another Class A anomaly. "Li Xue, how many high-speed projectiles do we have left?"

Li Xue immediately pulled out a box from behind her back, which contained only three items!

"There are only three captains left!"

"Damn it, even a C-level anomaly can't handle this little bit!" Yu Wenwen gasped.

A deathly silence fell over the room, and the body retrievers moved from a hundred meters away to a distance of only a few dozen meters.

The situation was urgent and there was no time for hesitation. He immediately made a bold decision: "Li Xue, ignore those C-level anomalies."

"Let's find a way to kill the corpse retrievers first!" Fu Xi's words were immediately rejected by Wang Fei.

"We can't do that. What if it's not targeting us? I suggest we stay quiet and wait for it to leave."

Wang Fei's voice grew softer and softer, and he spoke with less and less confidence.

The two sides were too far apart in strength, and Wang Fei did not want to take unnecessary risks. However, he did not notice that the corpse retriever had come within fifty meters.

But Fu Xike had been watching this closely, and he glared at him angrily: "Wang Fei, are you questioning my decision?"

Seeing Fu Xi's murderous gaze, Wang Fei ultimately didn't utter a single word.

Seeing this, Li Xue did not hesitate at all and immediately loaded several high-speed projectiles into the chamber in one smooth motion.

"Let's try one first!" There weren't many high-speed projectiles left, so Li Xue had to plan ahead.

The ultra-high-speed projectile was launched instantly, heading straight for the corpse retriever like a shooting star.

This scene terrified Wang Fei and his companions, and they also felt a sense of urgency.

Can we kill him?

"Bang!"

The high-speed projectile exploded on the spot, and under everyone's gaze, the corpse retriever only took a step back and was not injured at all.

"The high-speed projectile can even kill C-class monsters over a wide area, yet it couldn't even scratch its surface?"

Yu Wenwen cried out in despair on the spot.

Not only was Yu Wenwen in despair, but everyone else was too. But that wasn't the end of it. What happened next almost made Yu Wenwen anxious and confused.

The massive body of the corpse retriever was charging towards them, the distance between them shrinking from fifty meters to twenty meters.

"Damn it, we can't let him continue like this! Li Xue, keep firing and buy me some time!" Fu Xi shouted immediately.

Two high-speed projectiles were launched instantly, and the two sides collided violently. When the smoke cleared, the corpse retriever had only taken a few steps back.

The distance was also shortened from twenty meters to fifteen meters.

"Damn it, Brother Fuxi, I'll buy you some time!" Si Shui stepped forward without hesitation.

A binding force immediately enveloped the corpse retriever, and the effect was obvious.

The body retrievers immediately slowed down, going from running to walking.

"Damn it, I can't control it at all!" In just a few seconds, blood flowed from her watery eyes.

Seeing Si Shui's eyes wide with fury, Ru Hua clenched her fists, her whole being filled with anxiety and helplessness.

The distance between the body retrievers and the target is still decreasing, having already decreased from fifteen meters to twelve meters. If nothing unexpected happens, they will close in very soon.

"The ship is almost repaired. We just need to hold it off for a moment and we'll be done!" Fu Xi's face was grim, and his gaze quickly fell on Wang Fei, who was retreating.

"Wang Fei, it's time to keep our promise. Go up there and stop it for me!" Wang Fei stopped in his tracks, pointed at himself, and looked at Fu Xi in shock.

"Fuxi, you really think highly of me. I don't want to die if I don't go!" Wang Fei's head bobbed like a rattle drum.

Fu Xi's face immediately darkened, her eyes flashing with murderous intent. "You're not going? Then you can die right now!"

Seeing Fu Xi's serious expression, Wang Fei's Adam's apple bobbed, and he immediately panicked. "Hey, I only said I wouldn't go before, not now!"

Wang Fei immediately gave himself a way out, while in his mind he was plotting how to escape.

Before he could come up with a solution, he saw Ru Hua ready to strike at any moment.

"Damn it, I'm under attack from both sides! I can suppress Ru Hua, but there's also Fu Xi behind me..." Wang Fei thought to himself.

At this point, the body retriever had reached a position ten meters away.

"Forget it, dealing with the corpse retrievers still gives me a sliver of hope, but dealing with this madman Fu Xi means certain death!" Wang Fei stepped forward with a gamble in mind.

A burst of white light flashed in Wang Fei's eyes, and he directly used his supernatural power to a great extent. Under the suppression of the two, the speed of the corpse retriever was once again suppressed.

The enormous body moved intermittently, still moving forward, but at a much slower pace.

As the progress bar drew closer, Fuxi's heart gradually calmed down.

"One more level, the last level. I must hold on. As long as I'm 100% certain, I can guarantee I'll leave here immediately!" Fu Xi muttered to herself.

But things don't always go as planned, and then an unexpected event occurred.

"Bang!"

With a loud crash, Si Shui collapsed, her face already stained with blood.

This is the price of overloading.

"Not good!" Wang Fei's scalp tingled and he panicked instantly. He immediately activated all his superpowers, but it was too late. The corpse retriever's speed increased dramatically.

10 meter

8 meter

5 meter

As they drew closer, rust immediately appeared on the ship's hull, as if it had stood for hundreds of years.

The body retriever moved within five meters in just a few seconds, and then a hand as large as a mountain swung down.

Despair took hold in everyone's hearts, and Yu Wenwen watched this scene in astonishment.

"It's over, this is really the end."

"Am I really going to die?" Li Xue's face was deathly pale.

The towering hand slowly descended, getting closer and closer, the aura of death drawing ever closer.

Under this immense pressure, Wang Fei also retreated step by step, his face revealing deep resentment.

"Damn it, the power of this A-rank anomaly is beyond my expectations. I should have run away... You're practically trying to kill me!"

Before Wang Fei could finish speaking, he was stunned by what happened next.

Even more shocking than seeing the corpse retrievers was the sight of a massive close-in weapon system (CIWS) appearing out of nowhere on the deck.

And standing right behind it was a man, the man Wang Fei hated all the time—Fu Xi.

"To cherish?"

"All of this is his superpower? What kind of superpower is this? How come it feels more powerful than mine?"

Fu Xi ignored him and immediately activated the close-in weapon system (CIWS) for defense. "Military-grade CIWS, I want to see if your hand is harder or my shell is harder."

fire!

"Bang!"

With a deafening roar, six streaks of fire pierced the sky, meeting the giant hand of the corpse retriever head-on.

boom!

The two sides clashed violently. The body retriever was forced back more than ten meters, and blood oozed from his palms, but this was exactly what Fuxi wanted to see.

"They're still not dead?" Yu Wenwen's eyes widened like saucers, but before she could say anything more, the close-in weapon system immediately turned towards the Dongjin Bridge that was blocking their way.

"Bang! Bang!"

The massive rubble from the bridge shattered on the spot, and the water level gradually returned to normal.

At this moment, the corpse retriever also approached again during this gap, and his mountain-like palm slammed down once more.

As the lifeless hand slammed down again, the nascent flame of hope among them seemed to flicker uncertainly.

"Damn it, here we go again!" Wang Fei tried to get up to stop them, but his body felt as if it had been drained dry.

"Damn it, this won't do..."

Suddenly, Yu Wenwen started yelling again.

"So this is fate..."

As they drew closer, listening to the wails of the crowd, Fu Xi smiled calmly and activated the mechanic in her hand with all her might.

The Titanic instantly jumped from 0 to 300 hours, and the massive ship shot off like a small rocket the instant the giant hand struck down.

Everyone except Li Xue was stunned by this scene.

"What... what kind of superpower is this? How can it be so powerful?"

"Am I really worthy to be his enemy?" This question inexplicably arose in Wang Fei's mind.
