Global Flood: I Survive on Duckweed

Chapter 224: Chapter 168: Wang Jun’s Probing, Another Riot

Ren Yuanyang knew he had a point, but he replied anyway, ”Stop making excuses. You still need to train. You have to get used to your physique after it’s been enhanced by the Evolution Potion!”

Taking an Evolution Potion significantly enhanced one’s physique, and training was necessary to get used to the improved strength, speed, and other abilities.

”Alright, got it!” Qin Haonan replied with a grin. ”Leader, now that you’ve enhanced all this dizzy fish grass, the Evolutionary Fish won’t dare to come near anymore, right?”

”Yes, the herbivorous sea fish probably won’t come near anymore,” Ren Yuanyang said with a slight nod.

”And the carnivorous ones?” Qin Haonan pressed.

”It has some repellent effect on them too, but it’s not as effective as it is against the herbivores,” Ren Yuanyang replied. ”However, given the current evolutionary stage of marine life, no Evolutionary Fish should dare to approach.”

Qin Haonan nodded, then another question occurred to him. ”Leader, now that you’ve enhanced it, does that mean the dizzy fish grass’s effective range is wider? Will we have to go farther out to catch Evolutionary Fish?”

”No, that won’t be necessary. The effective range is the same as before. I only enhanced its repellent ability,” Ren Yuanyang said, shaking his head.

”Leader, your Superpower can perform targeted enhancements like that?” Qin Haonan’s eyes widened in curiosity.

Ren Yuanyang gave a slight nod, then waved his hand. ”Alright, you can go now.”

”Yes, Leader!” Qin Haonan acknowledged and left with a smile.

Ren Yuanyang took out his phone. On the regional channel, people were still discussing the new wave of the marine life rampage.

”Damn it, I feel like the fish are even crazier this time!”

”It’s not just a feeling. These fish are definitely stronger than last time. They’ve already torn my bamboo raft apart! Can some big shot please give me a hand? I’ll do anything to repay you!”

”Bro, you’re not actually in the water right now, are you?”

”Yeah, I am. I’m wearing a life jacket. Luckily, the fish were only after my raft and didn’t attack me.”

”Give me your coordinates. If you’re close, I’ll come pick you up.”

”That’s amazing, thank you so much! My coordinates are...”

”That’s too far, I can’t make it. See if someone else can help.”

”What? Are there any other experts out there?”

”Unless someone is extremely close, I doubt anyone is willing to spend the manpower and resources to get to you.”

”Ugh, in a situation like this, I’m just waiting to die.”

”I see a speedboat! Hahaha, I knew it! Some big shot is willing to come and save me after all!”

”The person coming to ’save’ you right now... their target might just be you. Good luck.”

”I don’t care anymore. If I can live one more day, it’s worth it.”

Soon, the speedboat approached the survivor in the water, came to a stop, and tossed down a rope.

The survivor hesitated for a moment but gripped the rope tightly. It was his last lifeline.

’Boarding the speedboat means an uncertain future, but if I give up, I’ll definitely die. I have to take this gamble!’

The people on the speedboat pulled him aboard and immediately confiscated his phone.

”Hello. We’re a team from the Beixiandao Group. We saved you, so now your life belongs to the Beixiandao Group. Understand?” A middle-aged man in a black suit and hat, with a full beard, spoke as if he were pronouncing the survivor’s fate.

Looking at the armed soldiers surrounding him, the survivor could only nod.

The speedboat sped away with the survivor.

And on the regional channel, that survivor’s messages were never seen again.

”That guy from a minute ago probably got rescued, right?”

”Most likely. But who knows what the ’big shot’ who saved him wants.”

”As long as he’s alive, that’s what matters. Don’t overthink it.”

”These sea creatures are evolving way too fast. They’re getting stronger and stronger, and we can’t keep up with their pace of evolution at all!”

”It can’t be helped. Only a few lucky humans have managed to evolve. The rest of us are just normal people.”

”Haven’t any of you been eating Evolutionary Fish Meat? If you eat some, you can feel your body change. You won’t catch up to an Evolver, but you’ll definitely be stronger than a normal person!”

”I have, but I haven’t felt much of a difference!”

”Maybe you haven’t eaten enough, or maybe your body doesn’t absorb it well. Eating Evolutionary Fish Meat has already doubled my strength!”

”You’ve got to be kidding me. If eating Evolutionary Fish Meat is the only way to improve our bodies, then I’m screwed! I’m allergic to seafood!”

”You have my sympathy for three seconds. You’ll just have to wait for the Aircraft Carrier Base to research the Evolution Potion.”

”They weren’t making much progress before, and now the geomagnetic storm destroyed a ton of their precision instruments. It’s going to be even harder to develop it now.”

”Damn it, what the hell is up with this world? It’s like it’s not giving us any chance to survive!”

”Yeah, there have been two fish rampages this week alone, and each one was worse than the last. It seems like our only choice is to join up with one of the big ships.”

”It’s not like large ships are easy to find.”

”If you have no other choice, there’s always the Aircraft Carrier Base!”

”I’m way too far from the Aircraft Carrier Base. Paddling there is unrealistic.”

”The distance won’t get any shorter if you just stay put. But if you start moving, you’ll get there eventually!”

”More inspirational bullshit? I’ve had my fill, I can’t take any more!”

Ren Yuanyang read up to this point, then shut off his phone and headed for the lab.

It was time to deal with the evolved lab mice.

The previous experiments with the Evolution Potion had resulted in nearly two hundred evolved lab mice.

These lab mice hadn’t been euthanized. Ren Yuanyang had kept them for the specific purpose of enhancing them.
