78: Chapter 78: All Zombies?

At this moment.

The water surface had long since returned to calm!

After the giant fish sank into the river, it vanished without a trace, leaving nothing behind.

The black substance that had been scattered across the river surface by its splash once again engulfed the entire river.

Li Hao stood on the riverbank, soaked from head to toe, and finally couldn't help but complain: "Damn it, this is hell. Why is it always me who gets the short end of the stick? You beast, if I ever catch you, I'll tear you into pieces, hmph!"

Ye Fan and Zhao Xiu covered their noses with their hands. Seeing that the river surface had calmed down and there was no further movement, they cautiously walked toward the riverbank once again.

They were extremely vigilant, afraid of encountering the same situation again!

They didn't want to end up like Li Hao, covered in foul-smelling water.

This time, not only did Ye Fan and his companions keep a certain distance from the river, but Li Hao also didn't dare to get too close.

Ye Fan stood slowly on the bank, his gaze sharp as he quickly examined the pitch-black river emitting a foul stench before him.

He had clearly seen the appearance of that giant fish just now.

The fish meat on the giant fish's body was clearly mostly rotten, exposing white fish bones.

If Ye Fan hadn't guessed wrong, that giant fish had likely already turned into a zombie, becoming a zombie fish.

Thinking of this, Ye Fan couldn't help but frown. The situation in this world seemed somewhat less than ideal.

In other words, not only had most humans turned into zombies, but it was highly likely that animals had also been infected with the zombie virus and transformed into zombies.

"If that's really the case, it's truly terrible," Ye Fan muttered in a low voice, his expression somber.

Of course, this was just Ye Fan's speculation.

However, the answer was right in the river before him.

As long as he could verify that the creatures in this river had turned into zombies, then this speculation was very likely correct.

Therefore, this river became the material evidence for Ye Fan to verify his hypothesis.

So what was he going to do now?

What Ye Fan needed to do now was to find a way to force the creatures in the river out; only by verifying it with his own eyes could he confirm his hypothesis.

He acted immediately. Ye Fan chose the simplest and most brutal method.

Using violent means to force them out directly.

"You two, stay further away from this river," Ye Fan said in a calm tone, his gaze quickly sweeping over the two people beside him.

Although the two didn't know what Ye Fan meant, they didn't hesitate at all and quickly moved away toward the riverbank.

Although Li Hao was somewhat reluctant, he walked while fiercely glaring back at the river water, cursing continuously.

Watching the two quickly leave, Ye Fan slowly raised his right hand. With a thought, a giant fireball quickly condensed at the tips of his fingers.

On that giant fireball, streaks of scorching flames were constantly dancing.

Looking at the giant fireball that appeared in front of Ye Fan, Li Hao and Zhao Xiu were filled with confusion.

They had absolutely no idea what Ye Fan was planning to do.

The next moment, Ye Fan flicked his fingertips slightly, controlling the giant fireball in front of him to attack the black river before him.

"Hmph, I don't believe you won't come out!" Ye Fan snorted coldly, a hint of a sneer on his face.

The fireball, carrying blazing flames, had a Speed that was not very fast, but as it slowly descended, the layer of black substance was forced to disperse, revealing the original color of the river water.

The next second, the giant fireball controlled by Ye Fan instantly made contact with the water surface, and in an instant, bursts of white water vapor rose into the air.

A massive explosion resounded throughout the world!

The foul-smelling river water also flew into the sky amidst this huge explosion.

However, there was no major change in Ye Fan's expression; his face remained completely calm.

He gently waved his finger, and in front of him, the river water that was raining down from the sky seemed to be controlled by something, as it all retreated and quickly rushed back into the river in front of Ye Fan.

This scene left Li Hao stunned instantly.

His face was filled with shock, his mouth slightly agape, his eyes narrowed tightly, staring blankly at Ye Fan before him.

"This... what kind of Supernatural Ability is this? You can actually control water?"

At this very moment, Li Hao suddenly thought of something.

He still remembered that back then, he had personally seen Ye Fan use a type of Supernatural Ability that could control water.

Ye Fan had used this water-controlling Supernatural Ability to extract water directly from the air, condense it into ice spikes, and slaughter many of his family's men.

That tragic scene was firmly etched in Li Hao's heart, becoming a terrifying memory he couldn't shake off.

However, thinking of this, Li Hao felt speechless inside. Ye Fan clearly possessed this special Supernatural Ability, yet he had watched helplessly as he was turned into a drowned rat by that foul water raining from the sky.

If his cheap master had used this special ability from the very beginning, would he have ended up in such a sorry state?

If this wasn't intentional, what could it be?

This must have been intentional by his cheap master...

As the sky-filling water droplets fell back into the river, ripples spread across the surface.

Subsequently, one after another, giant fish about one or two meters long slowly floated up from the river water, covering the lake surface before Ye Fan, but they showed no movement at all.

Ye Fan carefully examined the corpses of these giant fish that had floated to the surface.

A shocking realization quickly entered Ye Fan's mind. He saw that this group of giant fish corpses floating on the water surface without any movement all shared a common characteristic.

That was that every single giant fish corpse was covered in rotten fish meat, and one could clearly see their white spines.

This made Ye Fan even more convinced of his hypothesis.

The animals in this world really were just like humans; most had been infected with the zombie virus and had turned into zombies.

Ye Fan's face showed a hint of distress. "As expected, it seems things are really getting difficult now."

For some unknown reason, in the next few minutes, no big waves were stirred up in the river before Ye Fan and his group.

Except for the dozens of giant zombie fish that had been killed by Ye Fan's Supernatural Ability and floated to the surface, no other living giant zombie fish appeared.

Even the zombie that had attacked Li Hao earlier was nowhere to be seen, as if it had been scared into hiding by the pressure Ye Fan had just exerted.

Seeing this, Li Hao and Zhao Xiu dared to slowly approach.

As they got closer, Li Hao finally saw clearly the corpses of the giant zombie fish floating in the river.

"These... are these giant fish all zombies? How is this possible..." Li Hao widened his eyes, looking at those zombie corpses, revealing an expression of disbelief, and shouted loudly.

Zhao Xiu was similarly stunned by this scene and couldn't speak.

This news was truly somewhat beyond their expectations.
