Chapter 234 The Sea Beast
Chapter 234 The Sea Beast
“Alright. I’m just making a suggestion,” Leonel said.
The moment the words left his mouth, someone came running over in a panic. “This is bad! Something terrible’s happened! A giant beast is attacking people outside!”
“A giant beast? What giant beast?” Leonel and Scott asked unison.
“A sea monster!” the man answered breathlessly. “We’re fighting it!”
Leonel and Scott immediately sprinted outside.
Before they even reached the scene, they saw Autumn shouldering a rocket launcher, locked in a long-range standoff with an enormous marine creature unlike anything they could identify.
The sea beast was clearly a mutant, its grotesque body twisted into an unnatural shape. Every time it leaped into the air, it blasted powerful columns of water toward the people on the mountain.
The water was poisonous. The instant it struck the ground, white smoke hissed into the air.
Autumn was forced to fire while constantly running, jumping, and dodging.
She looked somewhat battered, but the sea beast wasn’t faring much better.
Ordinary bullets might have been useless against it, but rockets were another story.
The mutant sea beast howled in pain under Autumn’s relentless bombardment.
t tried to evade her attacks, but its enormous size made it an easy target, and no matter how it maneuvered, it couldn’t escape.
As the battle dragged on, Autumn steadily gained the upper hand.
After firing the last M3 rocket, she immediately switched to water balloons filled with acid rain and hurled them with deadly >recision straight into the creature’s open wounds.
Roar! The sea beast let out an agonized scream as its massive body crashed back into the water.
At the moment it hit the surface, the sections corroded by the acid rain had already been eaten away enough to expose its internal
organs.
Acid rain might not do much against mutated land animals and plants, but it remained highly effective against marine life.
After all, once acid rain fell into the ocean, it was instantly diluted countless times over.
Creatures living in the deep sea were barely affected, while only fish, shrimp, crabs, and other marine life in shallow waters and freshwater environments had suffered catastrophic losses.
The sea beast retreated in defeat, and cheers immediately erupted across the mountaintop.
Autumn finally let out a sigh of relief.
If she hadn’t been outside monitoring the rising water level today, there was no telling how much destruction the monster would

have caused.
One sweep of its tail could have wiped out hundreds of people.
Those it didn’t eat would have been dragged beneath the waves and drowned.
“What on earth was that thing?”/Leonel handed Automn a towel and a bottle of water, still shaken. “That was terrifying.”
‘It was probably a mutated shark,” Autumn said after downing the entire bottle in one go and roughly wiping the sweat from her forehead. “Marine life mutates even more easily than land creatures. They’ve just been hidden deep enough that we never noticed.”
Thinking back to the school of fish they’d encountered while fleeing after blowing up the insèst nest, Autumn still felt a lingering
chill.
Once marine creatures mutated, they became unimaginably powerful. Against them, humanity was like a beginner facing the final Joss. They simply stood no chance.
‘Sharks are already ferocious to begin with, and now they’ve mutated.” Leonel inhaled sharply. “If all the land disappears and humanity is forced to live at sea, it’ll be a complete disaster. I’m honestly not optimistic about humanity’s future anymore.”
Autumn glanced at him.
Why else had the global population fallen from more than ten billion people to only 2,000 in her previous life?
Humanity hadn’t been wiped out by natural disasters and human conflict alone. The sea beasts had hunted them as well.
Watching people clean up the battlefield, Autumn spoke quietly, “Who knows? But we can’t stop living just because we’re afraid.”
.eonel sighed with a helpless smile, unable to argue.
After that incident, everyone going out to work became far more cautious than before.
No one could forget the horrifying sight of the sea beast swallowing dozens of people in a single bite. It was bloodier and more >rutal than any horror movie they’d ever seen.
Even the fishing teams dwindled dramatically. People would rather take exhausting jobs that paid less than risk their lives at sea.
A gloomy atmosphere settled over the entire base.
Fortunately, the turning point came sooner than expected.
The Food Research Department soon announced that, after repeated testing, they had confirmed that 128 species of captured deep-sea mutant fish were safe to eat. Among them, the mutated shark-the fiercest of them all-not only had exceptionally lender, flavorful meat, but also contained compounds that helped combat fatigue and slow the effects of aging. While it couldn’t extend a person’s lifespan, it could alleviate the symptoms of certain illnesses. Aurora Base would purchase mutant fish at premium prices, with a single 30-foot mutant shark worth 5,000 points.
