71: Moon Bay, aquatic creatures come ashore
Clicking on the red exclamation mark on his phone screen, a series of urgent calls for help immediately reached Yang Dian's ears.
“This is Third Combat Team, this is Third Combat Team!”
“I am Captain Yang Wei. While patrolling the Golden Coast tourist area, we discovered large mutated marine life coming ashore from the direction of Yueliang Bay (Moon Bay).”
“Repeat: large mutated marine life is coming ashore from the direction of Yueliang Bay (Moon Bay).”
“Now, a large number of onlookers have already filmed the mutated creatures coming ashore.”
“Information Department, please note: control public opinion and block the spread of news.”
“Finally, we request assistance.”
“Please dispatch assistance immediately.”
“Repeat: please dispatch assistance immediately!”
At this point, the call for help ended.
In its place was an incredibly detailed map.
There was also a small red dot constantly flashing on the map.
Clearly, that was Yueliang Bay (Moon Bay), where the mutated marine life came ashore.
Yang Dian and Yao Lie exchanged glances, and Zhao Tian interjected from the side:
“Yueliang Bay (Moon Bay) is not far from my location, less than 3 kilometers in a straight line.”
Hearing this, Yang Dian shrugged his shoulders somewhat helplessly:
“Sure enough, we still ran into an unexpected situation.”
“Brother Lie, you haven’t undergone Awakening and haven’t even started with ancient martial arts, so don’t go join the excitement. Just stay here and move the Little Orca and these three guys onto the car.”
“I’ll go take a look.”
Yao Lie nodded; he had no intention of being reckless either:
“You be careful too; ensuring your own safety is the top priority.”
“Military support will arrive in a moment, so don’t throw your life away.”
Yang Dian smiled:
“I’m very afraid of death, I value my life more than anyone!”
With that, Yang Dian said no more. He turned and nodded to Zhao Tian, then quickly walked out of the factory.
Leaving the factory, Yang Dian checked his phone to confirm the direction, then immediately crouched slightly, pushed off with his feet, and transformed into an afterimage, disappearing into the night… at Yueliang Bay (Moon Bay).
After sending out the distress signal, Yang Wei threw his phone to a teammate beside him:
“Xiao Li, put away my phone. I’m going to go meet it.”
Li Yu looked at the giant red-and-blue spotted crab on the beach, which was over 5 meters tall and 8 meters long, with pincer-like scythes, moving like a large tiled house crashing around. She couldn’t help but swallow:
“Captain, are you really going?”
“That crab is so fierce; even a pistol shot can’t penetrate its shell. If you go up there, aren’t you going to be cut to death by a pincer?”
Yang Wei’s eye twitched as he watched the tourists crying out in panic while being chased by the crab, feeling somewhat helpless:
“Do I really want to go, damn it?”
“But if I don’t, who will?”
“You?”
As he spoke, he clenched his fists tightly and slammed them together in front of his chest.
“Clang~”
Amidst the sound of metal clashing, Yang Wei’s entire skin instantly turned bronze, and his whole body suddenly expanded to two and a half meters tall, transforming into a small giant:
“I’m going. You be careful.”
“Bullets can’t penetrate its carapace, but that doesn’t mean they can’t damage its mouthparts and eyes.”
“You just aim for its eyes and mouthparts!”
“Shoot steadily, and don’t hit me!”
“I can’t take many shots.”
With that, Yang Wei, who had activated his Bronze Transformation ability, walked slowly, against the flow of people, towards the menacing giant crab.
The Bronze Transformation talent was like this.
While increasing his size, it also greatly enhanced his strength and defense.
But at the same time, his agility attribute would be reduced to the extreme.
Once he activated his talent, his speed was about the same as an ordinary person walking, making him just a target.
Just as Yang Wei was walking against the flow of people towards the mutated giant crab, some tourists who had reached a safe area and were pulling out their phones to film finally noticed him.
“Look at that person, so tall and strong! How come I didn’t see such a big person before?”
“I didn’t notice either, and why is he running towards that big crab? Doesn’t he care about his life?”
“He seems to be wearing a Policeman’s uniform? Is he a Policeman?”
“I remember him! He’s the Policeman who just shot the big crab. He was only about 1.8 meters tall just now, how is he so tall now? Like a giant!”
“Huh, have you noticed, his walking posture seems a bit off, his knees seem unable to bend.”
“His skin is also bronze-colored; it doesn’t look like it’s from tanning, it looks like real bronze!”
“He wouldn’t be trying to fight that big crab one-on-one, would he?”
“In the past two years, I’ve often seen videos of supernatural beings fighting online. Looking at this big crab and the big guy, could what the novels say be true? Is there really a Dragon Group? Does our Huaxia really have espers?”
“Most likely it’s true. I’m telling you, my cousin’s boyfriend’s uncle works at the Public Security Bureau. I heard from my cousin that her boyfriend’s uncle taught her boyfriend a set of Five Animal Frolics, telling him to learn it well, but her boyfriend found it too tiring and only learned it for two days before giving up. And the online trends have also been a bit strange these past few years; the world really seems to be changing into something we don’t recognize!”
“Cousin? Boyfriend? Where do I fit in? Is this still Huizhou? Are you from Chengdu, here for tourism?”
“How did you know I’m from Chengdu?”
“Is it really like that in Chengdu?”
“Bah, never mind Chengdu or not Chengdu, I just want to know if there are really people secretly undergoing Awakening without me…”
…Amidst everyone’s surprise, Yang Wei had already reached the side of the rampaging giant crab and raised his iron fist, as big as a casserole:
“Come, take a punch from me!”
“Bang~”
With a loud crash, Yang Wei flew back at a speed many times faster than when he arrived, landing on the beach and kicking up a spray of sea sand.
The crowd watching and cheering from a distance fell silent, then whispers emerged:
“How did he fall down so quickly? I thought the Great Sage was making an appearance.”
“Holy crap, forget about making an appearance, if you don’t want to die, run!”
Panic erupted again, and a little girl in the crowd was separated from her parents, crying out heartbreakingly.
On the other side of the beach, Li Yu glanced at the panicked crowd, took a deep breath, raised her pistol, and aimed at the mutated crab that had crawled next to Yang Wei, raising its sharp crab leg high, intending to pierce Yang Wei’s body.
“Bang bang bang~~~”
Three gunshots caused the noisy, panicked beach to instinctively fall silent.
“Official support has arrived?”
Following the gunshots, the onlookers’ faces showed disappointment again; it was just a little girl.
“That girl, run!”
“The crab is rushing towards you!”
Li Yu looked at the mutated crab, one of its eyes blown out, yet it seemed to feel no pain, instead becoming even more enraged and scuttling towards her. She couldn’t help but purse her lips.
Didn’t she want to run?
It was just that she couldn’t!
Without experiencing it, who could feel the terror of facing such a massive impact?
She was truly too scared to move her legs!
On the other side, Yang Wei, who had just struggled to his feet from the sand, looked at the giant crab that had already scuttled in front of Li Yu and was about to snap its giant pincers at her, and he couldn’t help but let out a heartbreaking cry:
“Li Yu! Move!”
Li Yu tightly pursed her lips, closed her eyes in despair, and gripped her pistol tightly, raising it high.
“Bang bang bang bang bang…”
