36: Giant snakehead fish

Afterward, the squad leader and his group reported the situation and were notified by the Company to suspend their mission and report back to the Company.

Su Yuan followed behind them. Hearing this, he went along to see if he could get any information about the distribution of underwater cameras. He arrived at the center of the lake.

A large boat was docked here, a sightseeing boat from Dayang Lake Scenic Area, which had been requisitioned by the Company.

Company Commander listened to the reports from various squads, his brows furrowed. Looking at the calm lake surface, he sighed, "I misjudged. I didn't expect Dayang Lake to be the truly dangerous place!"

"Company Commander, what about the mission from above?"

A Soldier asked.

"I've already notified the higher-ups to deploy underwater robots to install the cameras."

Company Commander said. He couldn't send people to install cameras anymore; it was too dangerous, and Soldiers had already died.

The world was about to change. Even without any biological knowledge, he knew something was definitely wrong.

Su Yuan followed them here and saw nine rubber dinghies docked next to the sightseeing boat. Including the one he was following, that made ten, representing the strength of ten squads.

As the last two squads arrived, Company Commander began a small meeting to hear the specific situations from each squad.

One squad of Soldiers was missing a Soldier, and their expressions were filled with sadness and anger.

Su Yuan also stayed close to the sightseeing boat, floating on the surface, listening intently.

His hearing was different from an ordinary octopus; it was more acute, but in the heavy rain, he couldn't clearly hear the sounds inside the sightseeing boat.

Not long after, another sightseeing boat approached, moving at a moderate speed.

Su Yuan's vision far surpassed that of a human. He clearly saw that the people inside the sightseeing boat were neither Soldiers nor Security Officers. They were wearing the scenic area's work uniforms, seemingly staff members of the scenic area.

He only glanced at it before retracting his gaze, watching the changes in Company Commander's and the others' mouth shapes through the glass, trying to discern their conversation.

But suddenly, Su Yuan felt a chill run down his spine, his entire body turning cold.

He maintained his disguised state, scanning his surroundings with uncertainty, and saw the appearance of a massive creature to the northwest.

This was an astonishingly large fish. It was so big, Su Yuan estimated it was certainly close to twenty meters if not more. Its body was light gray, covered with dense black markings.

"This looks like a Giant Black Fish!"

Su Yuan's heart trembled. This was absolutely the largest creature he had ever seen with his own eyes.

Its overall shape resembled a Black Fish, but its mouth was different, much wider, and its entire head occupied a more astonishing proportion of its body, giving it incredible biting power.

As its mouth opened and closed, the teeth it revealed were huge and sharp, glinting with a cold light that sent shivers down one's spine.

Its eyes were small, yet they emitted a fierce glow. With its appearance, the surrounding fish and shrimp scattered, and even some large fish seven or eight meters long fled in panic.

Su Yuan was startled. His intuition told him that he must not expose himself, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a sharp, piercing bird cry echoed from high in the sky.

A huge Bird of Prey flew out of the clouds, its entire body yellowish-brown, covered with some black feathers. Like a small airplane, it swooped down from high altitude.

"Its target is that sightseeing boat!"

Su Yuan immediately noticed this aerial behemoth and confirmed its attack target.

At this moment, on this sightseeing boat.

"The boss has contacted the meteorological bureau. This month-long heavy rain will stop in the next few days."

"We must complete the sanitation work for the entire Dayang Lake and immediately open the scenic area when the rain subsides a bit."

A portly scenic area manager, with his hands clasped behind his back, spoke to a group of scenic area staff.

Just then, a cry came from the sky, making everyone's ears ache.

Through the windows, they saw a Bird of Prey, terrifyingly huge, seemingly swooping down towards them.

This terrifying scene nearly scared everyone to death.

As the terrifying Bird of Prey's claws were about to crush the sightseeing boat.

"Splash!"

Huge waves surged into the sky, and a chilling, gaping maw emerged, biting down on the Bird of Prey in one swift motion!

The Bird of Prey's eyes instantly filled with terror. It reacted swiftly, flapping its wings violently, and terrifying, wind-like blades appeared, slashing at the large mouth.

But it was all in vain!

The next moment, the huge Bird of Prey, resembling a small airplane, was dragged into the lake water, disappearing amidst the massive splashes.

"This..."

The faces of the scenic area staff were pale, filled with shock and lingering fear.

The Bird of Prey was truly too enormous. If it hadn't been stopped, it definitely could have torn apart the sightseeing boat.

Fortunately, a huge fish appeared in the water and dragged the Bird of Prey into the lake.

"How can there be such a huge fish in Dayang Lake?!"

"I've worked here for ten years, but I've never seen such a huge fish."

"Dayang Lake never had legends of Water Monsters before. I really don't know what's going on."

The scenic area staff looked terrified, but they were also discussing and expressing their opinions.

Not far away, Company Commander looked horrified. Due to the angle, he and the Soldiers had a clear view of this scene.

"This is sightseeing boat 001, I am Company Commander. People on sightseeing boat 002, evacuate immediately and return to shore!"

"This is 001..."

Company Commander picked up the sightseeing boat's walkie-talkie, spoke to sightseeing boat 002, and simultaneously signaled all personnel to be on alert.

Even these elite forces, highly trained in military discipline, were now in a state of panic. Experiencing such a colossal creature up close, the sense of oppression was too strong.

"Don't panic! Notify the fire support team to immediately rush to the lakeshore for support, secure the surroundings, and return immediately."

Company Commander ordered a retreat. After all, it was just a sightseeing boat, and he didn't know if it could withstand the attack of such a behemoth.

While the scenic area staff were still somewhat bewildered and at a loss, they heard Company Commander's voice and repeatedly agreed.

"Company Commander, a large dark shadow has been spotted beneath the water surface not far from 002."

At this moment, a Soldier wearing binoculars reported.

"Quickly..."

Company Commander's expression changed. Just as he was about to have someone notify sightseeing boat 002.

"Boom!"

The water surface in the distance exploded, waves surged into the sky, and a huge head violently crashed into the sightseeing boat.

It was like a cannon roaring. The sightseeing boat was instantly smashed with a large hole, riddled with cracks, almost tearing apart the entire hull!

The next moment, the huge Giant Black Fish's eyes gleamed fiercely, and its enormous head shook violently. The entire sightseeing boat immediately disintegrated!

"Save them! Open fire!"

Company Commander's face changed drastically, and he spoke coldly.

Although they carried underwater combat firearms, they could still be used on land, though it would damage the lifespan of the weapons. But at this moment, that didn't matter.

As elite forces, their accuracy was not bad. Hundreds of firearms opened fire on the massive head that emerged from the water.

However, the bullets had no effect, even sparking as if they were hitting special metal.
