Chapter 416: Chapter 416: Salvaging Ashore
After a nearly ten-minute discussion by the group of staff, they decided to throw Chu Ge back into the lake.
Chu Ge was depressed.
But he had no way to object.
If he attacked humans, he was afraid they might beat him to death.@@novelbin@@
After all, he was now an aquatic animal.
Once in the water, Chu Ge was initially nervous, fearing that he would be surrounded and attacked again.
But it didn’t take long for him to realize something was off.
There was no smell of blood in the lake.
He started swimming around, and the fish he encountered along the way were mostly not Survivors.
What’s going on?
Could it be that the Survivors were truly all scooped up by humans?
To be safe, Chu Ge continued the search.
“Survival Team [Mad Gunner] has been eliminated!”
The White Ape King has been wiped out again!
Chu Ge even wondered if it was about to end up in a zoo.
“Survival Team [Invincible True Love] has been eliminated!”
Another team eliminated!
Eliminated, not wiped out.
That meant they were killed by humans.
Chu Ge grew increasingly curious about what had actually happened.
Half an hour later.
He finally found a Survivor.
It was a fish about the size of a palm, hiding in the water grass and blowing bubbles, looking somewhat idiotic.
The reason he recognized it as a Survivor was that Chu Ge noticed it was slowly changing color.
“Tell me, what exactly has happened in the last two days?” Chu Ge demanded.
The Bubble Fish was cornered in front of a large rock, with nowhere to escape.
“Bro, don’t mess around, the lake is full of surveillance, and at least a thousand Survivors were caught last night,” said the Bubble Fish nervously, its tone filled with helplessness.
Chu Ge asked in disbelief, “How were they caught?”
Catching so many Survivors in one night?
He didn’t believe it!
Even on land, that number was impossible to catch.
“Because the humans use poison, you see, last night, all the fish in the lake were knocked out,” replied the Bubble Fish.
Chu Ge was stunned.
How could that be possible!
How big was Jiangyuan Lake Pond?
What kind of poison could spread so fast?
And since the physical qualities of the Survivors were stronger than those of regular fish, if the Survivors were knocked out, wouldn’t the normal fish be poisoned to death?
“Strangely enough, those ordinary fish were not poisoned to death; it feels like that poison was specifically targeting us Survivors,” the Bubble Fish sighed, its eyeballs darting around fearfully in case of another poisoning incident.
“Now, anyone who kills an enemy is tracked down, and two members of the [Holy Light Invincible Glorious Divine Court] have been hunted. I don’t think this is Earth; when did Earth’s technology become so exaggerated?”
Hearing this, Chu Ge understood.
There was likely a force greater than common human knowledge involved.
He remembered Zhuo Yi Cai once said that this world hid many secrets.
The worldview of ordinary people was all guided.
Could it be the Nine Extreme Sins?
No, that’s not right.
The Survival Association was hunting down the Nine Extreme Sins; such a national scenic spot was unlikely to be infiltrated by them.
Chu Ge fell into deep thought.
At that moment, the Bubble Fish took the opportunity to slip away.
Chu Ge didn’t pursue it.
He had intended to blend in and not risk attacking the enemy.
Once this Survival Competition ended, he should be able to enhance himself even further.
Chu Ge smiled and continued to wander.
“[Suicide] member Xiao Hero has been eliminated!”
An indifferent female voice announced, and Chu Ge mourned for Xiao Hero in silence.
Lately, Xiao Hero seemed to be having a rough time.
“You’ll have to work harder if you want to catch up with me,” Chu Ge thought to himself, having once considered Xiao Hero a rival in the team. Now, Xiao Hero seemed to be falling behind the team’s leading tier.
He thought of Local Snake again.
The guy had always been easy-going, and who knew how many Survival Points he had accumulated.
While thinking, Chu Ge swam and suddenly stopped.
Thump! Thump! Thump…
Chu Ge’s heartbeat suddenly quickened.
He felt his body start to spasm as if he was being rolled up, very uncomfortable.
“What’s going on?”
Chu Ge panicked, could it be that someone had poisoned the water again?
He suddenly saw the water ahead gradually turning yellow, as if a yellow fog was spreading and expanding.
Chu Ge turned around and ran.
Dammit!
Wasn’t this a scenic area lake, weren’t they afraid of poisoning people?
Chu Ge ran frantically in all directions, however, the poison fog spread so fast, attacking from all sides.
He felt he was about to be submerged.
“Survival Team ‘Holy Light Invincible Glorious Divine Court’ has annihilated Survival Team ‘Ascend to Godhood Together’!”
I am God is still alive!
It could also be one of his teammates.
This thought crossed Chu Ge’s mind and he continued to flee.
Half an hour later, Chu Ge had nowhere to escape to.
Looking at the yellow fog around him, his heart felt like it was about to jump out of his throat.
It’s over!
Chu Ge closed his eyes, ready to accept the fate of being stunned by the poison.
Soon, an oddly smelling toxic gas entered Chu Ge’s body, causing a numbing sensation all over.
His consciousness became increasingly groggy.
Just at that moment.
Chu Ge suddenly felt the heat source inside his body go out of control and run rampant.
His body trembled, and Blazing Flame spewed from his mouth, boiling the lake water.
…
By the lake.
Two men stood shoulder to shoulder, one of them holding a laptop with complex display images on the screen, resembling radar.
“Huh? There’s energy fluctuation in the lake, expanding rapidly,” the man with the laptop suddenly exclaimed.
The other man was stunned.
He was Tang Qiusheng, previously from the International Biological Abnormalities Investigation Bureau, who had investigated the Huashan Beastmaster Battle, known for short as IBBA.
Tang Qiusheng asked curiously, “What does that mean?”
“That energy is coming from a Catfish; it seems to have been stimulated by our narcotic poison,” the man replied, excitement shining in the eyes behind his framed glasses.
Tang Qiusheng frowned and said, “Their Survival Competition is about to end, capturing him would be useless, Li De, are you sure he’s our target?”
Labeled as Li De, the man answered, “Not certain, but there is no Survivor with stronger energy than him, even though there are only two days left, we have enough time to do a lot, pull him out!”
Upon hearing this, Tang Qiusheng immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and started instructing his subordinates to act.
Meanwhile.
Chu Ge completely lost consciousness.
His body was scorching hot, and his form was enveloped in bubbles.
Vaguely, his body began to grow slowly larger.
After a while.
A large fishing net dropped down, wrapping around Chu Ge, and then it lifted upward.
Soon, Chu Ge was dragged onto the shore.
Tang Qiusheng and Li De were both stunned upon seeing the glowing hot Chu Ge.
Other staff members couldn’t help but whisper among themselves.
“What’s going on with this fish?”
“Shh, this is a world secret, pretend you didn’t see anything.”
“Its body temperature is so high; you can feel the heat from meters away.”
“Don’t get close, be careful.”
“Our fishing net turned out to be so sturdy.”
Tang Qiusheng asked Li De, “Can we cool him down?”
“No, that would disrupt his bodily state, put him in a high-temperature resistant iron cage instead, and head back to the airborne laboratory immediately,” Li De shook his head.
Tang Qiusheng nodded, then took out his phone to make arrangements.
His gaze fell on Chu Ge.
For some reason, he suddenly felt Chu Ge looked familiar.
He thought of the Lion King of Huashan, who also seemed to be capable of Ignition.
