Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 095: The Mariana Trench

Fan Chen lowered his head, looking at the charred corpses of zombies burning from the high-voltage electric shock that enveloped the front iron wall. "Even if there's a solid insulator blocking heat or electricity, but I still feel the electrical radiation." He touched his head, his hair started to stand.

"If I'm not a Lightning Element User, there might be a stronger effect like tingling."

Fan Chen looked up at the blue sky, but away from Mingyue Defense was still very dark with cold snow falling, even there seemed to be a heavy storm towards his left or north. "The clouds over there start moving, it looks like this place is going to be back in the snow."

Fan Chen took out an arrow bow whose arrow was already tied with a copper rope. He stretched out his hand, pulled the bowstring until it was completely tight, then let go.

When he removed the bowstring, there was a buzzing sound in his ears along with the dart that shot out, splitting the cold air. The arrow fell while it had no more thrust and stuck it on the watery ground.

Fan Chen grasped the copper rope, he flowed the Lightning Elemental Ability with maximum strength.

An electric current flowed through the copper rope with a flash of blue light wrapping around it, then when the electric current reached the wet ground, it suddenly exploded with a diffuse flash of electricity, destroy the land there and scatter it.

Fan Chen smiled faintly at the resulting impact, he could use this way when fighting mutant beasts that were hard to deal with. "But, I have HK Armor, it seems like this way can't be used often."

He lowered his head, looking at the incoming zombies, but before touching the iron wall, the zombies were already exposed to the high-voltage current until it scorched them.

"There should be an addition, let's add a Level 05 Wall. Make it around the area in a radius of 2.5 kilometers." Fan Chen bought Wall Blueprint Level 01 — 05 by spending 65.155©.

He threw the Wall Blueprint into the air, then used resources: 83,350 Wood, 166,725 Stone, 104,203 Iron and 1,042 Titanium. Just for 1.042, he spent ¥138.586.720, it was a lot of money.

"Mingyue Defense could already be said to be extremely vast, only 300 meters away from Songshanhu Lake. After we cleared out the zombies in the outer area of Mingyue Defense, then set up a military base near the lake."

Fan Chen turned down the stairs, he saw his sister who was already at the bottom wanting to climb up. "Yu'er, we're back."

Fan Xiaoyu's footsteps came to a standstill when he had just climbed the 75th or 11.25 meters from the ground level. She looked up at her brother who kept coming down.

Fan Chen chuckled lightly with a faint smile at his annoyed sister, until he finally got off in front of his sister. "You're slow, didn't I tell you to stick together, why run?"

Fan Xiaoyu gave a cold snort. "Yu'er helped the army move the scattered iron."

Fan Chen smiled faintly, rubbing his sister's head, then he crouched down. "Let's go up, Brother will take you down."

Fan Xiaoyu turned her face away, but glanced at Fan Chen's back, and finally hugged him from behind by wrapping his hands around his brother's neck.

Fan Chen held onto Fan Xiaoyu's thigh, then he stood up, stepping down the stairs. "You want to practice shooting again?"

"No ..." Fan Chen shook his head and replied, "Today Yu'er wants to rest."

"All right." Fan Chen nodded his head, then looked up at the blue sky. He opened his mouth about to speak, but closed it again, swallowing his words. Originally he had wanted to take Fan Xiaoyu aboard the Anti-Gravity Mothership, but at this moment it was still very dangerous, so it was better to wait until the deadline set by the system ran out.

—Mariana Trench, Pacific Ocean—

The Mariana Trench, without even having to know what was inside, just looking at it from above was already illustrating how terrifying it was inside there.

Continuing to dive down, there should be deep sea fish inhabiting, but this time there was not a single living creature.

This was very strange, considering that all the creatures on Earth evolved, there should be many mutant beasts here, perhaps even of a very high level, considering that the Mariana Trench was a mysterious place even before the First Disaster.

At a depth of 2,000 meters from sea level, there should have been large fish such as whales that inhabit, but until now still not found, and this continues until the depth of 8,000 meters from sea level.

But after that, it began to look like a lot of creatures like fish, but have red legs and hands, and there are thick hair like snakes.

If Fan Chen dived here, he would definitely recognize what this animal was. Yep! The murloc!

Murloc has a round body, a large mouth lined with rows of sharp fangs, and mucus-coated skin. Individual colors range from turquoise to dark gray, while their height varies from 66 cm to 198 cm. Depending on the variety, Murloc may be more similar to a frog or fish; the iconic green Murloc, for example, has a similar color to a red-eyed tree frog.

But this is so strange, Murloc usually lives in shallow lakes, marshes, rainforests and waterfront, he said, but no one has ever lived in the deep ocean below 8,000 meters of sea level.

The Murlocs here roamed around like they were patrolling, each carrying a huge spear that was twice the size of a body.

For his strength level, it might range between Level 80 — Level 100, and the number there were over 200. If they all attacked the mainland, it was certain that it would be very dangerous, even a big city would be flat on the ground.

Suddenly...

There was a roar that sounded deep underwater, giving rise to intense tremors and there were water bubbles everywhere. Water temperature also increases sharply, it raises water vapor at the surface.

Then, this Murloc-murloc looked frantic, hastily diving deeper.

Dived up to 11,500 meters, but still did not find the end, until finally reached 13,000 meters of sea level. It is so deep, it has even passed the depth of the Mariana Trench which according to data only reaches 11,034 meters. But seeing Murloc carrying a spear was banging on the rocks around, it could be ascertained that the Mariana Trench was being dug deeper.

When it reached this depth, there was a blue light that illuminated like moonlight. This light was very beautiful, but if it continued to approach, it would look an enormous sharp fang, capable of swallowing tanks without difficulty. Leopard 2A7 is confronted with this creature, like a mouse facing a lion.

This creature itself is Anglerfish, a deep sea fish that has a lamp on its forehead to attract prey. Before it evolved, its shape was already terrible, especially now.

Its size was like twice that of a mine truck, its body was slightly transparent, and there was a red energy in the middle of its body. This energy was nuclear with extremely powerful radiation, and there was faintly a red mist permeating into his body from the depths of the sea.

Anglerfish let out ultrasonic sounds that could not be heard by humans, these sounds spread throughout the oceans around Most Mariana, as if it was communicating with other mutant beasts.

He waited for answers one by one, but there was one who did not call his answer, it stayed in the South China Sea, preparing to attack.

The Anglerfish is furious when it finds out that someone did not call out the answer, eager to come and teach a lesson, but if it knows why the mutant beasts in the South China Sea did not call for an answer because it had been killed by humans, maybe he will rise to the mainland faster than the set time.

Yep! The mutant beast in the South China Sea is a squid that was destroyed with a Plasma Cannon.
