133: My house got robbed? I'll fight you to the death!

A bloody wind filled her lungs, carrying a nauseating metallic scent.

Xia Mo felt as if two glowing coals were stuffed down her throat; every breath was agonizing.

Her arms were heavy as lead, but she didn't dare stop swinging the sword name for a second.

"Number 215..."

She counted mechanically, her eyes growing vacant.

Just then.

A Zombie Dog covered in rotting grass and leaves lunged out!

Its long, barbed tongue flicked out like a venomous snake, aiming straight for Xia Mo!

In her prime, Xia Mo could have killed such a creature in seconds with her eyes closed.

But now, the ground was slick with corpse fluids.

Her combat boots slipped, and her body stiffened for half a second.

It was over!

The stench-filled maw expanded rapidly in her pupils, the shredded meat on its fangs clearly visible.

For the first time, the breath of death was right in her face!

Swish!

A sonic boom erupted!

A cold-glinting Triangular Crossbow Bolt accurately pierced the Zombie Dog's left eye!

The massive impact pinned the beast directly to the deck, its tail still twitching.

Immediately after.

A tearful yet hysterical roar exploded:

"Who the hell dares touch my Third Sister!!"

Boom!

The cabin door was violently kicked open!

The spinning iron door, like a giant frisbee, smashed a Deformed Sheep that was about to launch a sneak attack!

Flesh and blood flew everywhere!

As the dust cleared.

Xia Lai appeared with messy hair and a face covered in grease.

Her mechanical arm emitted a sizzling sound of overloaded current, the barrel glowing red-hot.

"Second Sister might be afraid of death... but touching my family? No way!"

"Second Sister..." Xia Mo's heart trembled.

Before she could be moved, another wilder roar sounded like a thunderclap.

"Get... away!!"

A beautiful figure charged out from the stairwell like a cannonball!

Tang Ran was only wearing a black sports vest on her upper body.

Her wheat-colored skin was covered in sweat, and her well-defined abdominal muscles were full of explosive beauty.

She held a Spiked Club welded with steel nails and jumped directly from the stairwell into the crowd of monsters!

Bang—!

A howling wind swept through!

The Spiked Club smashed heavily into the waist of a Mutated Cow weighing several hundred pounds.

The crisp sound of the spine breaking was enough to set one's teeth on edge.

That Mutated Cow was sent flying five meters away!

It finally smeared against a shipping container, becoming a pile of mush!

"Awoo!"

Mao Mao, the Ghoul who had been cooped up below for a long time, dropped to all fours!

It scurried out like a deformed spider.

It didn't need weapons; those sharp claws were the best can openers, disemboweling two monsters in the blink of an eye!

"You guys... why did you come out?" Xia Mo's eyes reddened slightly.

"Stop talking! This ship is our home! How could we let you risk your life alone!"

Tang Ran grinned and stood back-to-back with Xia Mo.

Her eyes were filled with a frenzied fighting spirit.

"Want to tear down our home? Have you asked the club in my hand?!"

With support, Xia Mo regained her courage.

Her gaze sharpened: "Delta formation! Hold the gangplank!"

The three humans and one corpse quickly stood back-to-back, forming a defensive circle like a steel hedgehog.

At this moment.

The deck of No. 0819 turned into a complete meat grinder!

Tang Ran was the main tank!

Her Spiked Club swung so fast it was airtight!

No matter the monster, a hit meant death, and a scrape meant injury.

Once Xia Lai's mechanical arm went full throttle, it became a precision sniping turret.

"Parameter correction... die!"

These were Special Triangular Bolts; they could easily drill through even a monster's skull.

Every time the trigger was pulled, a monster's head would explode as it fell.

And Xia Mo was the lethal reaper.

Under the cover of the other two, the famous blade in her hand turned into a black line that harvested lives.

Wherever the blade light flashed, limbs were bound to fly!

"Kill! Kill all these sons of bitches!"

Tang Ran's eyes turned red with bloodlust, her adrenaline surging.

However.

The number of the beast tide was still despair-inducing.

At the Dock.

The dense crowd of monsters hadn't decreased; instead, there were even more.

The scent of blood drove the monsters completely mad!

They began to step on the corpses of their own kind to build human ladders, surging upward like a tide!

"Roar—!!"

Suddenly, a low roar as heavy as thunder drowned out all the noise.

At the end of the gangplank, the crowd of monsters actually parted.

A behemoth the size of a small truck forced its way onto the deck.

It was a Stitched Giant Dog.

It was patched together from several large dog corpses, covered in thick stitches and tumors.

Three heads were squeezed together, with the middle one still draped in half a human skin.

Its six thick legs stepped on the deck, causing No. 0819 to shake.

"What... what the hell is this?!"

Xia Lai's hand shook in fear, and the bolt missed, striking a steel plate and sending off a shower of sparks.

"Careful! It's an Elite Monster..." Xia Mo's face turned pale.

At that moment, the giant dog's six green eyes locked onto Tang Ran at the very front.

Without any wind-up.

It charged like an out-of-control heavy tank!

"Tang Ran! Get out of the way!" Xia Mo cried out.

But the deck space was too narrow, surrounded by monster corpses—where could she hide?

"Then I'll face it head-on!!"

Tang Ran's ferocity was also ignited, a red light flashing in her eyes.

Talent—Fervorization, activated!

Instead of retreating, she advanced, swinging her Spiked Club at the middle dog head!

Only one chance!

Bang—!!

The dull thud of the impact made hearts stop.

The Spiked Club did hit, splitting the dog's head open.

But the difference in size was despairing.

The terrifying recoil instantly backfired, sending Tang Ran flying like a hit baseball!

"Pfft!"

She spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air, smashed heavily through the cockpit glass, and fell to the floor.

At least two of her ribs were broken.

"Tang Ran!" Xia Lai screamed, tears bursting from her eyes.

"Cough, cough... that really damn hurts..." Tang Ran struggled to get up, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth.

However, a bizarre scene occurred.

As the blood flowed, her wheat-colored skin suddenly flushed with a morbid redness!

Tang Ran's body temperature soared, and her whole body emitted white steam like a steamer!

The pain of broken bones?

No, to her right now, it was a top-tier stimulant!

Her pupils became bloodshot and crimson, and her mouth pulled back into a neurotic, savage grin, looking like a tyrannosaur:

"Does it hurt? No... that's right!"

"This feeling of power surging up... it's freaking awesome!"

She picked up the Spiked Club, her aura even more terrifying than before.

But the defensive line had ultimately broken.

That collision hadn't just sent Tang Ran flying.

More critically, the Stitched Giant Dog's body lay across the center of the deck, completely cutting off Xia Mo's connection to the Lower Hold!

"Oh no!" Xia Mo's heart turned cold.

She wanted to pull back to defend.

But the giant dog's three heads bit at her simultaneously, giving her no chance.

Behind the giant dog, those insidious small Pig-headed Men and Deformed Sheep let out excited shrieks.

They bypassed the battlefield and rushed frantically toward the unguarded door of the Lower Hold!

"No!!"

Xia Mo's eyes nearly split from the strain, her blade trembling with extreme rage.

The first monster had already reached its claws into the cabin door... "Stop them!!"

Mao Mao roared and lunged over, but it was just a summoned creature.

Claws tore, and large chunks of rotten meat flew.

It was instantly pinned to the ground by several monsters and dismembered, unable to even let out a scream.

Immediately after.

"Ah! Don't come over!"

"Help... my hand! Waaaah..."

The Lower Hold instantly turned into a purgatory.

The shrill screams, the cries of despair, and the hair-raising sound of tearing flesh drifted through the thin iron plating, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

Every syllable felt like a blunt knife cutting through flesh.

It was over.

Xia Mo's vision went dark.

Hidden there were over a dozen defenseless girls!

Everything was over.

Just as this suffocating despair was about to swallow everyone—

The sky above cracked open.
