After he jumped into the water, a zombie followed suit.
A few minutes later, the water was a bloody mess. Luo Zi, who had just jumped in, was torn to pieces as food and was no longer alive.
Next to the coffin.
Yu An was planning to continue prying open the coffin after the zombies left the cabin. But unexpectedly, one of the zombies, with its sensitive nose, suddenly sniffed hard.
Then, the zombie looked at the coffin.
Yu An followed suit and sniffed, and he could faintly smell the scent of flesh and blood, a scent that zombies would like.
He doesn't like it.
He only likes sweet, big-headed things.
After staring at the coffin, the zombie walked unsteadily to the front of it.
"roar!"
The zombie strained with all its might and completely ripped open the coffin lid. The first thing that came into view when the bright red coffin lid was opened was a human covered in blood.
This appears to be food prepared for zombies.
Yu An wanted to help, but with so many zombies surrounding them and the boat only having so little space, he couldn't save them.
The food, which had been so quiet it seemed oblivious to the danger, was pulled aside. Just as Yu An was about to look away, she noticed there was another layer below. The space below was small, a box-like space only a few tens of centimeters in length and width.
There was something lying in the box.
Something else that made Yu An's pupils suddenly contract was even redder than the paint on the coffin, with scattered feathers all around.
It's the wing of a snowy owl.
Yu An's mouth was slightly open; the pain from his heart made it difficult for him to breathe. It seemed as if all the oxygen in the air had been sucked away in an instant.
His legs felt like they were filled with lead, and he couldn't lift them at all.
"Chirp chirp".
Yu An called out unconsciously, his hands gripping the edge of the coffin tightly, his knuckles turning bluish-white from the force.
Inside are Chiu Chiu's blood-stained wings.
Chirp's mutation ability includes regeneration, so he won't die, but how painful it must be for him to have his wings broken.
The blood-stained wings were still twitching slightly, emitting a faint luster.
And then—
The spreading of luster is a sign that A10 aberration energy is beginning to emerge.
"Chirp chirp!"
Without a second thought, Yu An reached out to grab the pair of blood-red wings, which still retained A10's life force. In a way, these wings were as if A10 had personally returned.
The A10 butterfly's mutation ability is somewhat similar to that of the A06 Golden Birdwing Butterfly. Both butterflies activate their mutation abilities through wing flapping.
However, A06's wings are non-renewable, and it was much stronger than A10 before it reached its peak.
Yu An was unaware of the children's mutated abilities. After all, when he was with the children, they didn't need to suddenly amplify their powers towards their eldest brother.
"Stop."
Yu An's fingertips touched the blood-red wings, and he was instantly burned with a sharp pain.
The halo continued to spread, and the ship's navigation system was still approaching the island.
Yu An wanted to stop him, but her mind went blank.
He couldn't think of a solution.
Time flies by, each second feeling like an eternity.
Six and Nine, who were guarding the beach on the island, were staring into the distance when they suddenly froze.
"Little Ten."
Little Butterfly recognized Xiao Shi's mutated ability, and his tone was heavy: "Why isn't Xiao Shi with Ba Zai?! Ba Zai is recuperating at the bottom of the sea, he should be with Ba Zai right now."
Back in the research institute, Xiao Shi stubbornly stayed by his older brother's side, never leaving his side.
They called him several times, and the last time it was Ba Zai who had to call him out.
He was also aware of Xiao Shi's mutated ability, which was targeted hunting. The snowy owl, one of the ten most ferocious birds, was most skilled at hunting, and targeted hunting involved using a special ability to temporarily render the prey inactive after identifying it, thus allowing the snowy owl to capture it.
The little butterfly and the little white mushroom exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
"How dare Xiao Shi get so bold!!!"
Little Butterfly exclaimed, "His targeted hunting objective is Xie Chiyuan, isn't it?!"
On this island, the only creature that fits Xiao Shi's target hunting pattern is Xie Chiyuan, the mutant's natural enemy.
The little white mushroom was also confused.
He thought of the little chick in the lab who, when bullied by them, only knew how to make his older brother cry, or cry in his quilt. He just couldn't connect him with the suicidal guy trying to hunt Xie Chiyuan not far away.
Neither he nor Xiao Liu could beat Xie Chiyuan.
Has Xiao Shi gone mad?!
Little Butterfly couldn't calm down either. He tried hard to think about why Xiao Shi was so impulsive: "Xiao Jiu, do you think Xiao Shi was deceived? Or was he forced into it?"
Even the most docile crybaby wouldn't suddenly act so wildly.
"Never mind whether you've been scammed or not, you little moth, you've been in the water these past few days, you should have practiced swimming pretty well by now. Take me with you, let's go check it out."
"If I fall into the sea later, remember to rescue me."
Without further ado, Xiao Jiu wrapped the little butterfly with mycelium and let the little butterfly carry her there.
The eldest brother is on a mission, so he probably knows about Xiao Shi's situation too.
They have to protect Xiao Shi; they can't let Xiao Shi really die.
The little butterfly suppressed its anger at being called a fluttering moth, and carrying the broken mushroom, spread its wings and flew to the sea.
Xie Chiyuan's speed was also not slow.
Upon sensing that the mutant had activated its supernatural abilities, Xie Chiyuan used his fastest combat ship to intercept it.
Time marches on, little by little.
Ships carrying zombies and A10 wings engage the combat vessels.
Yu An couldn't let his wings lose their luster, so after hearing the commotion, he had no choice but to go outside to check.
The zombies that were just on the ship's deck had all jumped into the water. They swam nimbly in the water, and gunfire couldn't accurately kill them.
These are a group of zombies that can swim.
They are not only good at swimming, but also very smart.
"Damn, I can't break through."
The men on the warship shouted angrily, "They can hide in the water!"
The zombies were deliberately forcing their guns on them and continuing to approach the island. Clearly, their goal was to land on the island.
A10's targeted hunting did not target ordinary people. His targeted hunting was only of Xie Chiyuan.
Yu An couldn't solve Xiao Shi's problem for the time being, so he could only deal with the zombie problem first.
As someone who wouldn't be bitten by zombies, Yu An grabbed a specially made gun and jumped into the sea.
The zombies ignored the little bitter gourd.
Yu An was already right next to them, but they still hadn't reacted.
The specially designed gun still worked in the water. With a "bang," a small flower splattered between the eyebrows of the zombie closest to Yu An.
Yu An reached out, grabbed the other man's arm, and dragged him onto the boat.
Evolved Zombie, the fighter jet among zombies!
This is non-recyclable and heavily polluting trash. Yu An cannot leave it in the sea; if other marine life ingests such pollutants, it will cause problems.
After dealing with the first zombie, Yu An repeated the process and set his sights on the second one.
At first, they were only focused on heading towards the island and didn't care that their fellow zombies hadn't noticed anything unusual yet.
But as their companions dwindled one by one, they finally realized something was wrong.
Although gunshots were constantly heard on the surface of the sea, it seemed that there were also gunshots coming from the sea.
After careful observation, a clever zombie caught Yu An red-handed.
Yu An, panting heavily, dragged several zombies up.
After he was caught, he lay on the deck of the boat, staring at all the zombies.
"Come on up."
Yu An's voice was unsteady. He just wanted to quickly deal with the zombies and then continue watching Xiao Shi's wings.
The zombies in the water dared not surface. If they did, they would be riddled with bullets.
"roar!"
"Roar!!"
"Roar, roar roar!"
It was a zombie-like tirade, but Yu An didn't even blink.
He's not afraid of being scolded.
Zombies only have an advantage in water, but there's a little zombie traitor in the water.
The little traitor is bitter melon flavored; one bite and you'll faint from the bitterness.
For a moment, the surviving zombies were all unable to move.
The zombies were held back, and their mutated abilities did not attack anyone.
Everything seems to be under control.
Until Xie Chiyuan arrived.
