Ice Age Apocalypse: I've Stockpiled Billions of Resources

"Boom boom boom!"

The moment Lin Luo pressed the button, the dark compartments on both sides of the amphibious vehicle suddenly popped open, and four miniature high-explosive torpedoes, trailing pale bubble trails, like four angry water snakes, fiercely burrowed into the giant black-scaled monster fish that was attempting to launch a second impact.

A blinding flash of light erupted underwater, followed by murky undercurrents and countless churning bubbles.

Before the arrogant giant fish could even let out a scream, half of its head was blasted apart by high explosives. Its massive body continued to surge forward due to inertia before finally sinking helplessly into the bottomless lake.

However, there was no sign of relief on Lin Luo's face.

"Warning! Warning! The bio-radar is completely red! The number... the number is incalculable!" Yuna's voice trembled with extreme fear as she pointed at the screen. "The smell of blood! The smell of blood from the explosion has attracted a school of fish!"

Lin Luo suddenly looked up at the radar and saw that the screen, which originally only had a few scattered red dots, was now covered with red paint, with countless dots of light converging on the tank from all directions at an alarming speed.

"Go! Get ashore now!" Lin Luo yelled at Zhang Min. "Forget about posture, charge forward at full speed! If we're even a second slower, we'll all become fish food!"

"Hold on tight!" Zhang Min demonstrated the qualities of a top-notch driver, pushing the power lever to the bottom red area without hesitation.

"Boom!!!"

The amphibious vehicle's engine let out a heart-wrenching roar, and the rear propeller spun wildly, stirring up huge waves of water.

At the same time, Lin Luo saw the deep water outside the window, and countless pairs of scarlet eyes lit up.

That's not just a few dozen, it's thousands, even tens of thousands!

"The purple amphibious vehicle is about to board!"

Karina gripped her gun, her eyes fixed intently on the ever-approaching glimmer of light on the water outside the window.

"Crack-!"

With a loud splash, the deep purple amphibious vehicle, like a dragon leaping out of the sea, crashed onto the reed-covered mudflats, spraying water and mud everywhere.

"Switch to land mode! Quickly!"

The wheels crashed to the ground with a screech that made your teeth ache, and the immense inertia sent the car swerving across the slippery mud.

But Zhang Min held the steering wheel firmly, the tires spun wildly, kicking up a two-meter-high mud wall, and finally grabbed the ground. The car jolted violently and sped forward.

"They...they've caught up!" Chen Shuang turned around in alarm.

The moment the tanks crashed onto the shore, the lake behind them seemed to boil.

Many more terrifying monsters charged in!

Those weren't just fish; they were demons from hell. They were enormous, each at least the size of a small car, and covered in sharp bony spikes.

The most terrifying thing is that they have strong pelvic fins, like the limbs of a reptile, which support their huge bodies as they crawl wildly on land, and their speed is not much slower than in the water!

"Fire! Don't let them get close!" Lin Luo immediately took action, his fingers dancing wildly on the weapon control panel.

The two heavy energy cannons on the top of the vehicle instantly turned their muzzles and spat deadly tongues of fire at the surging school of fish behind them.

"Da da da da da da da!"

Blue beams of energy intertwined to form a dense network of firepower against the dim Martian sky.

But there were just too many monsters.

Lin Luo had only one thought in his mind: to send the amphibious vehicle rushing up at top speed.

"Zhang Min, go faster! Don't conserve energy! Overclock mode!"

"It's already overclocked!"

Zhang Min shouted, veins bulging on her forehead. The speedometer of the chariot was nearing its limit, and the vehicle was violently jolted along the rugged shore, almost overturning several times, but she managed to save it each time.

Finally, many fish rushed up. These fish were enormous, ferocious-looking, and quite terrifying.

A giant catfish-like monster, as big as a truck, leaped dozens of meters with amazing jumping power and crashed into the muddy ground on the left side of the vehicle with a "boom," less than two meters from the window.

Its enormous mouth, covered with layers of barbed teeth, suddenly opened, letting out a piercing scream like a baby's cry, sending chills down one's spine. Its pair of dead gray eyes stared intently at the people inside the car, filled with savagery and greed.

"Damn it!" If Lin Luo had been any slower, he might have been dead.

The monster's tail was already raised high, lashing towards the cockpit window with a whistling sound. If it hit solidly, even the bulletproof glass would shatter!

"Die!" Lin Luo's eyes were cold, without the slightest panic. In that instant, he forcibly controlled a close-in weapon system on the side of the tank and fired a point-blank shot at the monster's head.

"boom!"

The monster's head exploded like a rotten watermelon, spraying black blood all over half of the car body.

Once ashore, the monsters rushed out to attack.

They seemed completely unaware of fear; the corpses of their companions did not deter them, but instead fueled their ferocity.

"There are some up ahead! There are some up ahead too!" Natasha screamed.

Not only behind, but also from the reeds on the side, countless of these amphibious monsters emerged, attempting to flank the speeding chariot.

"Fire all missiles! Forget everything, blast a path through!" Lin Luo roared, immediately activating the tank's group attack mode.

The amphibious vehicle also had shells, specifically high-explosive incendiary shells that Lin Luo had prepared to deal with the zombie horde.

"Whoosh whoosh—"

Several miniature missiles roared out from the holes in the roof of the vehicle, trailing long plumes of flame, and landed precisely among the densest school of fish.

Keep attacking these fish!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A series of violent explosions rang out around the tank, sending flames soaring into the sky.

The fish exploded, their flesh mangled beyond recognition. The terrifying heat and shockwave instantly tore through the monster fish's tough scales, sending limbs and torsos flying everywhere. A nauseating stench of burning and a fishy sweetness filled the air.

The once impenetrable encirclement was torn open by these few shells.

"Now! Charge out!" Lin Luo immediately ordered the amphibious vehicle to rush out.

Zhang Min slammed the accelerator into the fuel tank, and the tank let out a roar of near-limit exhaustion. Its four huge tires, rolling with flesh and mud, rammed through the gap like a mad bull.

They used their maximum speed to escape the lake.

The scenery outside the window rushed past. Although the disgusting fish were still roaring and chasing after them, they were aquatic creatures after all. As the distance increased, their strength gradually gave out, and their speed slowed down.

One kilometer, two kilometers, five kilometers...

Until the dense red dots on the radar screen finally disappeared at the edge of the detection range, until the eerie roar could no longer be heard, and only the sound of the wind and the roar of the engine remained.

The chariot sped all the way to a high ground dozens of kilometers away from the lake.

"Stop...stop for a second, it's safe now." Lin Luo looked at the empty scan results on the radar and finally gave the order.

The car gradually slowed down and finally stopped next to a huge purple rock.

Having escaped to a great distance, Lin Luo breathed a huge sigh of relief.

He slumped into the passenger seat, his combat uniform soaked with cold sweat.

That scene was incredibly dangerous. If their reaction had been even half a second slower, or if the tank's power had been slightly weaker, they would already be food for those strange fish.

The carriage was deathly silent, save for the heavy breathing of the passengers.

Everyone was stunned by the sudden life-or-death race they had just witnessed.

One second it's a calm lake, the next it's a hellish battlefield; this huge contrast is almost unbearable for the heart.

After a long while, Chen Shuang shakily raised the half-eaten compressed biscuit in her hand, her voice trembling: "I... I think I dropped my biscuit in fright."

These words seemed to break some kind of spell, and the tense atmosphere finally eased a bit.

Karina wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and glanced back with lingering fear: "This is Mars...this is the apocalypse...I take back what I just said, the tranquility here is nothing short of a death trap."

Lin Luo unbuckled his seatbelt, stretched his stiff neck, and gave a wry smile: "It seems our luck is a mixed bag. The good news is we made it out alive, the bad news is we almost got wiped out."
