Apocalypse: I rescued the big boss with millions of supplies

Chapter Forty-Nine: The Mermaid

Looking down, Yun Cangshu saw the terrifying scene of the ice bridge created by Fu Muyu being bitten in half and then being completely repaired by the ice layer. Yun Cangshu gritted his teeth, no longer paying attention to what was happening below the ice bridge, and focused on the broken bridge in front of him.

"Sizzle—" The tires spun rapidly and rubbed against the ice, making a loud noise. Although the Hummer tires had strong grip, they did not put snow chains on them.

The current situation did not allow them to get out of the car to operate it. Yun Cangshu quickly shifted gears, increased the horsepower, and rushed forward. He had to reach the other side of the broken bridge before the ice bridge was destroyed.

"Silver Candle, lure the Megalodon away from under the bridge." Fu Muyu took off the silver bracelet from his wrist and threw it out the window. Although Silver Candle was a land python, it could also breathe underwater, making it much easier for them to move around.

The silver candle fell from the window and instantly transformed into a giant python nearly a hundred meters long, plunging into the river and creating a huge wave. Fu Muyu was prepared, and a tall ice wall appeared in mid-air to block the wave. Even so, a large amount of water still landed on the car.

Ignoring the fierce battle outside the car, Yun Cangshu calmly turned on the windshield wipers, seemingly unperturbed in the face of danger. However, his slightly trembling hands gripping the steering wheel hinted at his inner turmoil. The car sped forward, occasionally skidding, but Yun Cangshu quickly adjusted the direction and continued driving.

On the other side, after Silver Candle fell into the Yangtze River, its huge snake tail, like a long whip, quickly wrapped around the tail of the Megalodon and dragged it backward. The Megalodon was instantly flung a hundred meters away from the broken bridge by Silver Candle.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yun Cangshu rushed to the other end of the broken bridge. Fu Muyu stopped using ice-type abilities to reinforce the ice bridge. In the instant the abilities were withdrawn, the ice bridge turned into huge blocks of ice and sank into the river.

“That was dangerous,” Qiu Ling said, glancing back at the broken ice bridge and then at the two giant beasts fighting in the river. “Silver Candle should be alright, right? Silver Candle’s red bar is almost twice as high as Megalodon’s, and its blue bar is also longer.”

After advancing to level three, Qiu Ling discovered that his ability not only allowed him to see blue bars representing his power, but also red bars representing health, similar to those in games. This allowed him to see the opponent's life status. Zombies, on the other hand, did not have red bars, only blue bars, presumably because their bodies were already dead.

Even among mutated plants, animals, and humans, who have the same superpower level, the length of their red and blue bars differs. For example, the mutated giant python and the megalodon that are currently fighting, although both are level 5 mutated beasts, Silver Candle's red bar is nearly 500,000, while the megalodon's is just over 400,000, less than 410,000.

The blue bar is also lower than the silver candle value, with a difference of nearly 100,000 points.

Among the level-five creatures Qiu Ling encountered, Miao Miao had the highest health bar, at 570,000, significantly higher than Yin Zhu. Qiu Ling believed that among mutated creatures, mutated plants had the highest health.

After all, the team had the same level three superpowers, and the three humans had red bar values ​​of around 80,000 to 90,000. The mutated corn Yu Yu, the mutated ivy Lv Lv, and the mutated poppy Lan Lan had values ​​of around 140,000, 130,000, and 120,000 respectively, which were much higher than theirs.

No wonder Sister Long said that mutated plants have extremely strong vitality and cannot be easily killed.

“Not necessarily,” Long Yangyang said, looking at the tense battlefield in the distance. “After all, it’s in the water, so the Megalodon has the home-field advantage, and it also has water-based abilities.”

"Really, despite creating so many huge waves, the Megalodon's blue bar is still basically full; I haven't seen the value decrease." Qiu Ling was quite surprised after seeing the Megalodon's blue bar.

"Cangshu, what's wrong?" Bai Zhi, who had been paying attention to Yun Cangshu, noticed that the other party had a furrowed brow and seemed to be troubled by something.

“I,” Yun Cangshu didn’t know how to remind him, “I tried to foresee the danger on the river, but apart from that fleeting blue figure when I first stepped onto the bridge, all I saw was this blue figure.”

With long, azure hair like the ocean, an androgynous and exquisite face, and icy blue pupils as cold as stars, why does his precognitive ability warn of danger coming from this person?

On the bridge spanning the river, apart from their group of five, they didn't see any other humans, but they did encounter a level-five mutated megalodon.

"Be vigilant." Fu Muyu didn't think there was anything wrong with Yun Cangshu's ability prompt. Holding the crystal core purified by Long Yangyang, he quickly recovered his ability. "Watch out for any strangers lying in ambush around us."

"Yes." The car continued to drive forward, and nothing happened. They were safe and sound, and they could even vaguely see the scene on the other side of the bridge.

"Silver Candle hasn't caught up." Fu Muyu was a little worried. Silver Candle's ability was special. Even if the mutated Megalodon had the home-field advantage, Silver Candle couldn't kill it for a while, but it would definitely be able to shake it off and catch up.

They had been traveling for over an hour, and he hadn't sensed Silver Candle's presence at all. Silver Candle's crystal core had his own spiritual imprint, allowing him to perceive the other's situation. If they were close, he could even sense the distance between them. Silver Candle wasn't injured, yet it hadn't caught up yet. Was it entangled?

"Oh no! I have a premonition that our car is about to be overturned by the giant wave." Suddenly, Yun Cangshu looked terrified as he saw the car being swallowed by the giant wave.

"Leave it to me, don't be afraid, speed up." Fu Muyu raised his left hand and placed it on Yun Cangshu's right shoulder, speaking calmly.

Fu Muyu's words soothed Yun Cangshu's panicked heartbeat like a clear spring. Yun Cangshu adjusted his breathing, gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, and his pupils shrank when he saw the five-meter-high giant wave suddenly rising in front of him. His right foot on the accelerator even felt a little weak.

For a moment, the car was quiet and still; everyone almost stopped breathing, clearly not expecting such a sudden accident.

"Don't be afraid, charge forward." Fu Muyu's deep and powerful voice rang out.

"I..." Yun Cangshu felt his hands trembling as he gripped the steering wheel. Trusting Fu Muyu, he subconsciously continued to press the accelerator forward.

My God! What did he see?! The giant wave was actually receding!!!

Yun Cangshu felt as if he had witnessed a miracle. The towering waves that were so close were gradually receding. As the car moved forward, the height of the waves slowly decreased until they shrank into a single wave. "Don't hesitate, rush to the other side in one go."

"Yes." Upon hearing Fu Muyu's words, Yuan Cangshu floored the accelerator, and the car roared to life, speeding to the shore in one go. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief the moment they safely reached the other side, and Yuan Cangshu slumped into his seat.

Only then did he realize that he was so nervous that he was covered in cold sweat, his whole body was soaked.

"Boss," Yun Cangshu was about to turn around and report to Fu Muyu that he was safe when he found that the other man had collapsed weakly onto Long Yangyang, his head resting on her shoulder, his face showing undisguised exhaustion.

"Someone's coming, be careful." Fu Muyu took a deep breath, got up from Long Yangyang, and looked warily at the figure appearing in the rearview mirror.

"This, this is..." Yun Cangshu stared in shock at the figure in the rearview mirror. Long, azure hair, an exquisitely beautiful face—the person was actually floating on the river?!
