Chapter 388

'How could they be so many!?' Jiang Liushi controlled the missile boat and quickly approached the group of monsters . The speed of the missile boat was fast, and it was rumbling on the surface of the water . It was not yet close to the mutant pufferfish .

Many small water monsters squatting on the surface of the floodwater had been affected . Several strange fish jumped out of the water and rushed toward the missile boat . The missile boat stopped at a distance of 40 meters from the monster group, which was the safest . The mutant pufferfish's tentacles were more than ten meters long, so the distance of 40 meters was enough for them to react accordingly .

After all, the missile boat was a machine, which needed a few seconds to start the necessary maneuvers . However, the mutant pufferfish was quite flexible . A few seconds could determine life and death . Jiang Liushi should be as cautious as possible . Although the missile boat was very powerful, he did not blindly believe that the hull of this thing could resist the horrible mutant pufferfish's body .

'Open fire!' Jiang Liushi shouted in his mind . And then he pushed the artificial operating system's button in front of him . Originally, this kind of device required the electronic control processor to control the electronic pulse ignition node provided in the barrel . But now everything had become much simpler .

Jiang Liushi had transformed it into a manual ignition device with Starseed's help . The manual ignition device was activated, and sparks sputtered immediately . The propellant was quickly ignited .

'Boom!'

A deafening sound came, similar to drums of war, and the AK-630 gun barrel rotated at high speed .

Jiang Liushi could see how the barrel released the bullets, and the jet of fire following after, before landing where the mutant pufferfish was located .

The moment some of the rushing little monsters came in touch with the bullets, they burst into a cloud of blood . Compared to the little water monsters' provoking behavior, the mutant pufferfish lying in the depths of the floodwater was much more relaxed . In this flooded area, it was undoubtedly on the top of the food chain . Both mutant beasts and zombies were its preys .

In the past few days, it had become accustomed to having no natural predators . It was invincible . As a result, it had never expected that something would dare to go against it . Only when countless dense bullets covered the sky and landed on its body did it get a sense of danger . It finally felt intense pain .

'Roar!'

A wall of water rose, along with the mutant pufferfish's rapidly increasing body . It looked as if someone was inflating a hill-like balloon, which was waving eight ten-meter claws . Blood was dripping on the floodwater's surface from hundreds of dense holes on the pufferfish' dark and rough skin .

At the same time, from Wu Shui County's hillside, countless survivors who were observing the breathtaking battle cheered excitedly . The missile boat seemed to have injured the huge monster .

On the other hand, Xiang Xuehai kept frowning, and she didn't dare to relax at all . She knew better than anyone that the situation was not as optimistic as it was . She had just witnessed how powerful and lethal the missile boat was . But it didn't mean that the bloody holes on the monster's body were enough to bring it down . Looking at the missile boat in the water, Xiang Xuehai became more worried .

. . .

A pair of huge triangular eyes quickly locked on that missile boat . Through the observatory in the gunner room, Jiang Liushi saw that the mutant pufferfish was looking toward him . He was not a fool to believe that he could kill that mutant pufferfish with the first attempt .

He just wanted to get the mutant pufferfish's and anger it, which he achieved . The mutant pufferfish looked very angry, and its wounds were visible . From those wounds, Jiang Liushi knew that the AK-630 was capable of killing the mutant pufferfish if it were not for its defensive capabilities . Not even steel, or Starseed's special alloy, was comparable to its defensive power . It was indeed a level 2+ monster!

'Turn and move further away!'

Jiang Liushi gave the full control of the missile boat to Ying as he had to focus all his attention on the AK-630 .

The missile boat seemed like it was flying on the water . Suddenly, it turned .

'Boom!'

After escaping for more than ten meters, Jiang Liushi was scared . The location in which the missile boat was previously had been hit by that terrible pufferfish .

'Open fire!' Jiang Liushi knew that the opportunity had come; the mutant pufferfish had exposed itself .

The six-hole metal machine gun barrel had completely locked on the mutant pufferfish's head . In general, the head was the most fragile part of most of the nerves located there .

'Boom!'

The bullets struck the mutant pufferfish's head! The closed gunner room was filled with a pungent smell of metal chips burning . The AK-630's firing rate was very scary . It could reach 3,000 rounds in one minute and had an effective range of nearly 4,000 meters .

The mutant pufferfish was exposed to this terrible firepower, and dense bullet holes quickly appeared on its head . Instantly, the huge fish head resembled a hornet's nest . The mutant pufferfish continued to roar in pain . Waiting for the firepower of the machine gun to stop, it dove into the water, and a wall of water was formed . The waves caused the missile boat to fluctuate violently .

'It should die after that!' Jiang Liushi thought, but he was not sure .

He felt that the metal gun barrel was very hot and needed cooling . Moreover, the half-minute shooting had consumed nearly a quarter of ammunition, which made Jiang Liushi very sad . The AK-630's gun bullets were 30mm ones, and he had about 6,000 or so rounds from the original boat . It was impossible for the current MCV to manufacture suitable gun bullets . With such a small amount of storage space, Jiang Liushi naturally used it with care .

At that moment, large clusters of bubbles appeared on the water's surface .

'Brother Jiang, the mutant pufferfish is still alive! It… it shrank its body, and it's coming to our side,' suddenly, Ran Xiyu's nervous voice sounded .

Jiang Liushi was shocked . Through Ran Xiyu's vision, he indeed saw a dazzling red spot under the water . It was quickly approaching the missile boat .

"Terrible!" Jiang Liushu's worst fear came to life . It was the worst case scenario . When the mutant pufferfish was in its inflated state, it could not swim as fast, so the missile boat had the speed advantage . However, once the mutant pufferfish released the gas from its body, its speed in the water had reached a frightening extent .

In just two seconds, the distance between them had been reduced to 20 meters .

'Accelerate! Retreat! Launch the Air Cannon!' At the critical moment, Jiang Liushi did not panic .

The missile boat's speed rose . Then from the missile boat's abdomen, a metal tube with a hole was extended .

'Boom!'

The Air Cannon opened a turbulent channel that was visible to the naked eye . Large pieces of underwater debris were washed away and swept up in the mud . The jet of water with everything else mixed with it hit the mutant monster's head . Although the power of the underwater Air Cannon was far less than that of the shore, the mutant pufferfish was full of wounds, so those wounds opened up again . The mutant pufferfish was in great pain, but its body swelled again, reverting to its massive form . It looked very miserable .

The missile boat was able to flee by launching the strong counter-propulsion and using the momentum brought by the Air Cannon . When it stopped again, the missile boat was more than 50 meters away from the mutant pufferfish .

Jiang Liushi secretly rejoiced in his heart . 'Fortunately, this monster kept the habit of a pufferfish, so that's it!' Jiang Liushi said in his mind .

The pufferfish's stomach was actually a large dilatable sac . If it felt threatened or in danger, it would inhale water or air so that its body would bulge . The mutant pufferfish apparently maintained that habit . After being provoked by Jiang Liushi, its flat body swelled again . That also led to a re-expansion of the area that Jiang Liushi could attack .

'Boom!'

Jiang Liushi concentrated and fired again . The place where the gunfire was set was its snow-white belly . Since the head was not the mutant pufferfish's weakness, the stomach had to be . Jiang Liushi thought that he had to shoot the balloon-like belly!

A round of dense and destructive bullets was shot, carrying strong penetrating power, and the mutant pufferfish was once again injured . But even so, the mutant pufferfish was still floating there . On the contrary, its eight claws were stirring the water fiercely, and when those claws emerged from the water, Jiang Liushi was shocked .

"Oh my god!" The mutant pufferfish's claws clutched a discarded car as well as street vending machines . It was obvious that the flood had carried those things there . Under the terrible power of the mutant pufferfish, those things were like cannonballs .

Jiang Liushi's reaction was fast enough, but even if the speed of the missile boat was faster, it still couldn't escape the attack's range . The missile boat was making all kinds of maneuvers on the water .

'Bang!'

A scrap car hit the hull and finally dropped to the deck . The entire missile boat was shaking violently, and a part of the deck even cracked . Even though Jiang Liushi was able to react fast, he still crashed heavily on the ground . If he were an ordinary person, he would have died . However, there was only a white mark on Jiang Liushi's skin . Although it was painful, he was not injured .

'What a good fish! Fortunately, my whole body's defenses have increased after consuming the gene fluid . Otherwise, my state would be really miserable . ' Jiang Liushi looked in horror around the small gunner room .

'The MCV was damaged . The small-scale gunner room was damaged by 10%, and its durability was reduced . . . ' Starseed's cold voice sounded in Jiang Liushi's mind .

Between the reminders, the mutant pufferfish threw several more things, resulting in continuous damage to the small gunner room, and the instantaneous damage was increased to 40% .

Jiang Liushi's heart sank . Because the mutant nuclei were limited, the boat's defensive power was not as good as the minibus' .

'Boom!'

With a loud sound, the top of the small gunner room instantly cracked, exposing the metal cannon, bullet chain, and other things . He exposed to the mutant pufferfish .

The mutant pufferfish flang a car!

'Fix the gunner room!' Jiang Liushi hurriedly said in his mind . If the small gunner room was not repaired, he might not be able to survive!

'Searching for materials . . . insufficient materials for repairing . Small war room can only be repaired to 80%! Will the host repair it?' Starseed continue to warn .

'Insufficient materials?' Jiang Liushi was deeply shocked . Although adequate preparations had been made, it was really difficult to search for some rare materials .

The third form's small-scale gunner room was a complex structure as many functions had been fused together . Several kinds of materials were needed, and most of them had already been used while constructing the MCV's third form . Unexpectedly, at this moment, when the small gunner room was damaged, he didn't have what he needed most .

'Continue repairing!' Jiang Liushi had no other ways . 80%, was better than a large gap above his head . That's too unsafe .

At that time, the mutant pufferfish in front of him used its fins as hands and feet, and spider-like rushed over to the missile boat . The missile boat rushed all the way through the water . It gradually moved away from the vision of the survivors on the hillside above Wu Shui County .

"Jiang Liushi, take care of yourself . " Xiang Xuehai whispered . She stood on the roof of a house and looked worriedly at the direction in which Jiang Liushi ran away .
