48: This miraculous drug is so good, even Shenbao tablets are no match for it!

On the blazing flame fishing boat.

"Hahaha! What a thrill! Damn, it's so thrilling!"

Zhou Hai pushed open the Captains Cabin door, his booming laughter making the tin walls hum. "You didn't see that turtle-son surnamed Feng, his face was as dark as if he'd just been fished out of a latrine!"

Zhao Ze followed behind, carrying his Massive Hammer, a rare smile on his face. He looked at Lu Sheng and genuinely exclaimed, "Little Lu, how did your brain grow like this? From now on, you're the strategist for our The Fleet. If you point east, I'll never go west."

Facing the praise from his two simple-minded teammates, Lu Sheng's expression remained calm.

He walked past the two of them and headed straight for the deck.

Engineer Liu was with several boatmen, their hands covered in oil, inspecting the winches and circuits.

"Engineer Liu, call everyone who understands firearms over."

Soon, seven or eight boatmen gathered, two of whom were retired soldiers, and the rest were firearm enthusiasts.

They looked at Lu Sheng with awe, but more so with curiosity.

Lu Sheng's mind stirred, and with a clatter of metal, a pile of brand-new rifles, pistols, and several heavy ammunition boxes appeared out of thin air on the deck.

"Distribute these, one per person. In critical moments, aim for the monster's head. It's for saving your lives."

When everyone saw this batch of firearms, their eyes immediately widened!

In this apocalypse, a working gun was a second life!

Before they could recover from their shock, Lu Sheng took out an unassuming small cloth bag and handed it to Engineer Liu.

"What is this?" Engineer Liu took it, puzzled. The bag was very light.

"Good stuff." Lu Sheng smiled faintly, explaining concisely, "The powder inside, mix it with water. You few technical backbone members should drink some. It can combat fatigue and change your physique. Don't drop the ball at critical moments."

The bag contained precisely the Blood Qi Residue he obtained after smelting the Blood Skin Fish with the myriad things furnace!

Engineer Liu opened the cloth bag skeptically, and a faint bloody smell mixed with a strange fragrance wafted out.

He looked at Lu Sheng's unquestionable gaze, then at his apprentices whose eyes were dark from exhaustion. Gritting his teeth, he found a cup, mixed some water with the powder, and downed it in one gulp.

The next second, a warm current suddenly erupted from his stomach, instantly flushing through his limbs and bones!

The backaches and waist pains accumulated from days of modifying the ship actually receded under the flush of this warm current, like melting snow!

Engineer Liu's cloudy eyes widened.

He felt as if he had become twenty years younger, filled with inexhaustible energy!

This red powder... was a hundred times more effective than the Kidney Support Tablets he used to cherish!

"This... this is divine medicine!"

Tears instantly welled up in Engineer Liu's old eyes, and his hands holding the cloth bag trembled.

He didn't ask another word, only led the boatmen behind him, who had also felt the change after consuming the Blood Qi Residue, and bowed deeply to Mr. Lu, his voice choked with emotion.

"Mr. Lu... words cannot express my gratitude! This old life of mine is yours from now on!"

Zhou Hai and Zhao Ze watched from the side, practically drooling. The two simple-minded fellows instantly had their appetites whetted.

"Hey, Little Lu, what treasure is this? Can I have some too?" Zhou Hai rubbed his hands and leaned closer.

Lu Sheng glanced at him and said indifferently, "You're thick-skinned, you don't need it."

After everything was settled, a military assault boat had already docked next to the blazing flame.

Lu Sheng and the other three bid farewell to Engineer Liu and the others, instructing them to be careful in everything, then boarded the assault boat.

The engine roared, cutting a straight white line across the sea, speeding towards the vanguard destroyer, the core of Position No. 1.

Along the way, the full panorama of the Jinling Defense Line slowly unfolded before their eyes, like a magnificent doomsday scroll.

More than a dozen cold warships and countless floating platforms formed a circular Great Wall of steel.

Countless searchlight beams crisscrossed in the dim sky, and innumerable soldiers were making final weapon adjustments at their respective battle stations.

A chilling yet vibrant and iron-blooded aura rushed towards them.

Soon, the assault boat arrived at the vanguard.

This was the latest Type 520D Destroyer, its massive hull like a slumbering steel behemoth.

The 130mm main gun at the bow, with its dark muzzle pointing into the distance, and the 64-cell universal vertical launch system behind it, exuded a terrifying aura of death.

A captain with the rank of colonel was already waiting on the deck. Seeing Lu Sheng and the three others, he immediately stepped forward and saluted standard military fashion.

"Welcome, all strong individuals, aboard! I am Li Zhen, captain of the vanguard." He got straight to the point, "Your mission is to serve as the highest mobile combat force of this ship. Should any Floating Corpses or sea beast break through the long-range firepower net and board the deck, you will be responsible for eliminating them!"

"Understood."

Zhou Hai and the other two immediately entered combat readiness, their eyes curiously sweeping over the 1130 close-in weapon system on the deck that struck fear into all carbon-based lifeforms, muttering, "If only our blazing flame could also be equipped with one of these..."

Lu Sheng, meanwhile, walked to the bow, facing the cold sea wind, and quietly activated his Dragon Eyes.

In his vision, the entire sea area terrain of Position No. 1, underwater reefs, firepower coverage, and even the shooting blind spots of every close-in weapon system, transformed into the most precise data, rapidly constructing a three-dimensional sandbox in his mind.

What he had to do was not just fight, but control the entire battlefield!

Just then, the corner of his eye caught sight of Position No. 2 not far away.

Feng Kun was standing at the bow, seemingly sensing Lu Sheng's gaze, and looked over from afar, a sinister sneer on his face. He raised his hand and made a clear... throat-slitting gesture in Lu Sheng's direction.

Lu Sheng remained expressionless and withdrew his gaze.

Just a clown.

However, at this very moment!

"Woo—woo—woo—!!!!"

An extremely piercing alarm suddenly resounded throughout the entire sea area!

All the searchlights on the warships instantly activated, dozens of dazzling beams of light, like divine swords, simultaneously pierced towards the horizon!

In the command channel, the observer's terrified, distorted roar came through.

"Alarm! Alarm! Ultra-high density energy reaction detected!"

"They're here, they're here!"

"The Corpse Tide... is here!!!"
