A dozen male survivors exerted every ounce of their strength, finally managing to drag the enormous fish to the shore.

To be precise, they dragged Iron Lion to the shore first, and then Iron Lion dragged the fish to the shore.

Iron Lion had served the dual purpose of both bait and hook.

Once out of the water, the massive fish struggled frantically on the bank. A brave man took two steps closer, intending to knock the fish unconscious to stop its struggles and prevent it from getting back into the water.

But a fish tail swung over, slapping the man away and knocking him out cold.

"Damn, this fish is vicious!"

"Old Qian, you used to be an avid fisherman, have you ever seen a fish like this before?"

"No, never seen one this big, and never seen this species either."

"Could it be a mutant too? Like the butterflies from last night?"

"Possibly, sigh... the world has become unrecognizable now. A fish this big, and it dares to attack people!"

"If it weren't for Mr. Wu, we ordinary folks could never have caught such a huge fish!"

For a moment, discussions buzzed all around.

Even some seasoned fishing enthusiasts couldn't identify this type of fish.

Iron Lion walked over, dripping wet. Seeing the fish still flapping around, he threw a powerful punch right at its head.

"Clang~~~"

The punch landing on the fish's head actually produced a metallic clashing sound.

However, the big fish's skull was also punched open by Iron Lion, leaving a deep hole the size of a fist.

While in the water, it had been somewhat troublesome, but on land, this big fish was completely at Iron Lion's mercy.

"Your turn or mine?"

Chen Ye raised an eyebrow at the Pink-haired Girl and Ding Dong.

Ding Dong didn't speak, just took two steps forward, indicating she would go first.

Chen Ye was quite curious about how this woman planned to do it.

The woman walked to the water's edge and closed her eyes, maintaining an utterly composed expression from start to finish.

A gentle breeze blew past, causing the woman's empty, dangling right sleeve to sway.

A very peculiar feeling began to permeate the air.

Before Chen Ye could react, the woman slightly raised her right arm, spread her feet apart into a horse stance.

"Ha!"

Exhaling sharply, she threw a powerful punch directly at the lake water ahead.

A golden fist shadow shot from her hand, striking the lake's surface without stirring up even the slightest ripple.

It was like a hot knife cutting through butter.

It actually punched a large hole right through the water's surface!

Just as the survivors were puzzled.

"BOOM!~~~"

A deafening explosion sounded.

A water spray over ten meters high erupted from the lake surface.

Then they saw numerous fish of various sizes appear on the lake's surface. The big ones were a full three to four meters long, while the smaller ones were over half a meter.

Chen Ye looked at Ding Dong in astonishment.

"Sequence 2?"

"Fist Master Sequence 2: Mountain Shatter!"

Ding Dong replied to Chen Ye indifferently, but her eyes were filled with calm amusement.

"You lost an arm, but your strength increased instead of decreased?"

"With only one arm, I focused solely on studying the power of that one arm. I became even more concentrated than before, which is how I advanced to Sequence 2."

"Wait, do all Fist Masters have to lose an arm to advance?"

"Only me!"

Ding Dong answered every one of Chen Ye's questions without holding anything back.

Chen Ye gave Ding Dong a thumbs up: "Impressive!"

Ding Dong's display thoroughly shocked many people present.

Even the Pink-haired Girl hadn't expected Ding Dong to quietly reach Sequence 2 without anyone noticing.

The entire Fair Convoy was now Sequence 2!

They were no longer the small fries they used to be.

At least in the apocalypse, they had gained a bit more self-preservation capability.

Chen Ye exhaled a puff of Smoke Breath. The smoke drifted and billowed, pushing all the fish to the shore.

Some fish had been blasted into powder, leaving only pools of blood.

Other fish were merely stunned.

Several survivors hurried to the shore to pull these fish out of the water.

Chen Ye looked at the Pink-haired Girl beside him.

The Pink-haired Girl didn't stand on ceremony either. She formed a sword gesture with her hand, murmuring incantations under her breath: "Swift!"

The long sword strapped to her back trembled slightly, automatically flying out of its scabbard and shooting toward the lake surface.

Ding Dong's violent act earlier had already dyed a small area of the lake surface with blood.

A slender, unidentified eel seemed to have caught the scent of blood, swimming up from the depths of the lake.

The long sword entered the water without creating much splash. It simply swept past this unidentified eel. The eel thrashed wildly in the water, struggling incessantly.

It stained a large area of the lake water red.

Finally, the long sword pushed the now lifeless eel back to the shore.

This unidentified eel didn't seem to have as much meat as Iron Lion's catch, but its body length far exceeded that fish's. Preliminary estimates placed it at over twenty meters.

"Miss Sun is truly formidable!"

"Who says otherwise? Miss Sun is the top expert in our convoy!"

"Don't be fooled by Sister Ding Dong's imposing aura. If the two of them really fought, it's hard to say who would win!"

"I heard Miss Sun's Sequence is called Sword Immortal. Sword Immortal... how can you even compare?"

The survivors whispered and murmured among themselves.

They thought Chen Ye and the others couldn't hear them.

Little did they know that with a Superhuman's hearing, every single word of their murmuring reached the ears of the several Superhumans.

Hearing these words, the Pink-haired Girl's expression grew even prouder. She lifted her chin and gave Chen Ye a pointed look.

"Your turn!"

"Impressive. Is that flying sword of yours a natural-born Wonder or not? How is it so damn awesome?"

The Pink-haired Girl snorted coldly: "None of your business. Hurry up, you're dawdling! Really..."

Chen Ye chuckled, completely ignoring the girl's attitude. He reached his right hand behind his waist, grasping the machete's hilt to soothe it.

The moment that long sword left its scabbard earlier, the machete behind his waist had also grown restless.

Chen Ye was now quite certain that the "bastard sword" most likely referred to the Pink-haired Girl's sword.

Interesting. He never expected this randomly exchanged machete of his to have a rivalry with Sun Xixi's sword.

"Chen Ye, what are you doing? Hurry up, it's your turn!"

The Pink-haired Girl urged.

Many survivors also looked over this way.

If there was one person in the entire convoy who inspired the most fear, it was undoubtedly Chen Ye.

The people in the convoy had changed batch after batch, but the rumors about Chen Ye kept evolving, one version after another.

Some said Chen Ye was incredibly cruel and brutal, that anyone who crossed him ended up with a terrible fate.

Others said the reason the convoy's numbers never increased much was because Chen Ye used people as bait to attract Anomalies to their deaths.

And others said...

Chen Ye had heard several versions himself.

Regarding these rumors, Chen Ye usually paid little attention.

He even somewhat allowed them to spread.

If he couldn't make everyone admire him, making everyone fear him wasn't bad either.

Many people were guessing in their hearts what method Chen Ye would use.

Chen Ye stood at the water's edge, looking at the clear lake water.

Actually, the lake water couldn't be considered very clear now. The blood from Ding Dong and Sun Xixi's earlier actions had already stained a portion of the lake surface red.

It was precisely this bloody scent that attracted many large fish. Unfortunately, Chen Ye didn't recognize any of them.

Chen Ye took off his Sunglasses. His blood-red left eye glowed faintly, the rune in the center of the red pupil rotating slightly.

Chen Ye stared at each fish competing for the blasted flesh and blood fragments.

Making eye contact with a fish was obviously impossible, but as long as a fish's eye was facing his direction, that was enough.

The less intelligent a creature was, the more easily it could be controlled and manipulated by the Abyss.

After just a few seconds, Chen Ye put his Sunglasses back on.

The Pink-haired Girl asked in surprise: "What are you doing?"

Chen Ye smiled: "You'll know in a moment."
