The villain also has spring 2

Chapter 2.18, 2020: The Anaconda Disaster
The water level in the open water continued to rise and soon submerged the lower abdomen of the vortex fox.

Although the Saiyans' waterproofing technology far surpassed human technology, due to psychological factors typical of Earthlings, the Nine-Tailed Fox Mother, Madam Hu, and her team members still jumped onto several out-of-control rubber boats. The rubber boats, encased in fiberglass hulls, were much sturdier than they appeared. Scans revealed they were military-grade stab-resistant rubber boats. Subsequent detailed analysis also revealed numerous human genes on the rubber boats. Through scientific calculations using the Vortex Fox's "Superbrain Region Chain," a fierce ambush on the water was quickly simulated.

"Captain, this team of soldiers has been ambushed by underwater creatures." As per Wu Chen's instructions, the Wave Squad changed how the members addressed each other.

"Let's try to reconstruct the genetic map, using a simplified database as an analogy." Team 4's captain, Madam Hu, the Nine-Tailed Fox, quickly got into the swing of things.

"It's definitely snake genes," Bai Susu continued to report. "The mutation direction of the mutated gene is most likely gigantism, high toxicity, and regenerative ability."

"I've got it." Unlike the team members who needed to compare a simplified version of the "Broken Database" to get a match, Wu Chen's ingrained intuition had already found the answer: "Anaconda."

*Anaconda* tells the story of the ancient and mysterious Ashama people, living deep within the rainforest of the winding Amazon River basin. Isolated from the world, they use the man-eating snake as their totem. The legends and secrets surrounding the Ashama people excite those outside the rainforest. Anthropologist Steven Kai, deeply interested in the Ashama, forms a seven-person film crew with documentary filmmaker Terri Flores and producer Denise Kalberg to film a documentary about this mysterious tribe in the rainforest. Along the way, they rescue a man named Paul Salang, who volunteers to lead the crew in search of the Ashama, unaware that his true purpose is to find a terrifying man-eating python. Thus, the unsuspecting film crew embarks on a bloody journey of no return.

Just then, a dark shadow suddenly darted out from under the ship, opening its blood-red maw to bite the female warrior.

The turbo fox, having locked onto it beforehand, immediately bristled its red mane. The frequency-converting echo device, originally used to transmit and receive acoustic signals, instantly amplified into a sonic cannon.

"Buzz—" The extremely powerful sound wave swept away everything in its path, shattering the attacker head-on.

The splattered blood and flesh even faithfully depict terrifying waveforms that are invisible to the naked eye.

It was like being caught in an air-based meat grinder. From start to finish, the attacker was crushed into a long, blooming chain of blood rings by the radiating sound waves. Before the sound waves subsided, the flesh, pushed to its limit, cascaded down in a long waterfall of blood, like a winding blood serpent, rapidly disappearing from the direction of the female warrior.

The force of the attack caused the entire water surface to vibrate and hum. The splashing water droplets resembled a sudden downpour on the hull of a boat. The terrifying sonic wave was the bane of all living things, causing the originally bloody ambush to vanish without a trace. The attackers lurking beneath the surface were all dispersed by the sonic wave.

Amidst the pattering water, the wireless radio on the rubber boat crackled to life: "Emergency call, emergency call! This is the (Amazonian) jungle lodge, please respond, please respond..."

The film opens with a bloody ambush, then transitions into the story through a radio broadcast. It must be said that this opening animation, essentially rendered in real-time, is very tightly paced.

"Received, received. Where are you?" Team 4's captain, Madam Hu, the Nine-Tailed Fox, immediately switched to modern vernacular.

"Who are you?" the visitor would surely ask.

"Survivors, humans."

“Of course, you are human.” This answer, given by the Vortex Fox’s “Superbrain Area Chain,” was completely accepted by the other party: “Do you want to come here?”

“We have a team.” This is also the answer from blockchain.

“Team One, that’s great!” The other party immediately became enthusiastic: “Don’t worry, we’ve converted the hotel in advance, it can accommodate all of you. Besides, this is the safest haven. Trust me, the nearest town is 100 miles away. Do you have enough fuel on your ship?”

That's a good question. So Captain Nine-Tails stopped insisting: "Okay, please tell us the coordinates."

"Great..." The other party immediately gave the coordinates.

"Captain, you're not going to make us ride those turbo foxes, are you?" Hu Yin'er couldn't help but tease.

“Of course not.” Captain Nine-Tailed had already made his decision: “Scan the model database and perform ‘localization’ adaptation.” As expected, the Barracuda NM4, the only amphibious team among the three transforming armor teams, with its variable underwater motorboat, became the best option.

The term "localization" simply means localization. It involves incorporating collected plot and environmental elements to create a disguise for the mecha.

Soon, 12 single-person motorboats carrying 13 female warriors headed towards the coordinates.

About half an hour later, a modern container terminal appeared on the open water. It looked like a man-made island, its back to the setting sun appearing quite desolate.

"Captain, something feels off," Weng Changting said in the team's internal channel.

"Tower defense," Wu Chen said bluntly. "I estimate you'll be holding the container terminal, repelling the giant python's attack, and finding the Dragon Ball at the same time. Be careful; this is a story-driven game designed for players. As for the Dragon Ball, it certainly won't be easy for you to get it."

"Yes, sir," the squad members responded in unison.

As two signal flares were launched, the guards standing on the quay crane immediately raised their binoculars to carefully observe the rapidly approaching motorboat squadron.

Once it was confirmed that they were all women, the bridge guards immediately waved their arms excitedly. While gesturing, they climbed down the bridge.

Soon, a container used to block the door was lifted high by the quay crane, and the waterway below was just big enough for small boats like rubber dinghies to enter.

In similar scenarios, women do indeed tend to gain trust more easily. Besides the advantage of their gender, the perception of being a "weakling" who needs protection is also a reason why many masculine adventurers easily lower their guard around women. However, as it turns out, those who survive to the end are often women who appear fragile but are in no way weak or vulnerable.

From a scientific perspective, strong, masculine adventurers gradually deplete their energy in the early stages and become increasingly weak in the later stages. Conversely, female adventurers who conserve a lot of stamina in the early stages gradually gain strength in the later stages. Therefore, the saying "kill the saintly one first in chaotic times" has some merit.

Because of the stacked arrangement and the staggered structure, this container terminal is much larger than one might imagine.

The survivors trapped inside also exceeded the original storyline.

Clearly, these survivors came from different fragmented timelines, and were brought in by different players. This familiar scene reminded Wu Chen of his first "Outpost Competition." Many of the characters in that competition failed to escape with their original owners, becoming unclaimed cards, or even infected cards.

I thought this was a phenomenon unique to the brutal "Outpost Race," but I never expected that 480 temples would also have a similar situation.

Could it be that the 480 Temples, which only serve the 500 VIP players who reside at the South Dynasty Interstellar Hotel, are ultimately also operating the same brutal competition?

Using the team's "informants," Wu Chen scanned the faces of the various survivors. He immediately locked onto his primary target: documentary director Terri Fleur.

The actress who plays the role in the real world is Jennifer Lopez, a famous Latina actress from Westwood.

The female producer accompanying her, Denise Carlberg, has a more famous role in another timeline: Allied agent Tanya Adams. At this moment, she is in Wu Chen's red phone booth as a dormant card.

If Tanya had brought a gun into the scene, she could have easily ended the story with a barrage of indiscriminate headshots, like the Anaconda.

As gamers jokingly say, the two biggest mistakes this film made were: Tanya wielding a knife and a curved sword while handling a gun.
