Gao Fei drives a police motorcycle and speeds through the flooded streets.
Observing both sides of the street through waterproof goggles, the green French paulownia trees were half submerged in the water and looked like clumps of low shrubs. However, the real shrub green belt had been completely submerged by the flood and no trace was left.
On the inside of the green belt, there is a row of metal protrusions of different colors dotted, which from a distance look like a bathtub upside down on the water.
After getting closer and observing carefully, I realized that it was a car parked on the side of the road. Most of the car body had been submerged in water, and only the roof of the car was left above the water.
The green trash cans in nearby residential areas were also washed out by the floods, and the drowned stray cats and dogs drifted with the waves, adding a desolate tone to the deserted streets in the rain.
Sharp air raid sirens kept ringing, and the loudspeakers of TV, radio and fire trucks were all issuing warnings:
"The Xingzhou City Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters issued an emergency notice to upgrade the flood control emergency response to level 1."
"The Xingzhou Meteorological Observatory issued a red rainstorm warning signal for the fourth time today, reminding us to prevent urban waterlogging."
"The city government urgently reminds citizens that this time we are experiencing heavy rainfall that has not been seen in many years. The situation is serious. Do not go out unless necessary. Pay attention to the surrounding environment and improve your waterproofing, electricity protection, disaster prevention, danger avoidance and self-rescue capabilities!"
…
Dense rain curtains, flooded streets, messy drifting objects, and sirens sounding from time to time all together create a tense atmosphere like the end of the world.
Gao Fei and the other experienced veterans remained calm, but the newcomers in Team 12 couldn't help but be on tenterhooks.
As the captain, Li Jiajia clearly felt uncertain, but she still had to work hard to appease her new teammates.
When he was approaching the East Station, a broken down bus lay across the middle of the road ahead, forcing Gao Fei to step on the brakes.
When I got closer, I saw that there was no one on the bus. I think the driver and passengers had already evacuated, so I felt relieved.
"The road ahead is blocked, we have to go around it." Gao Fei turned around and said to Jiang Feng.
Before he finished speaking, the sound of splashing water suddenly came from the empty car.
Immediately afterwards, a thick light blue tentacle, like a squirming python, slowly poked out of the open car window.
"Ouch! What a big octopus!"
On another motorboat, Ma Tao couldn't help but marvel.
"This guy is quite good at enjoying himself. He treats the bus like a nest."
Wang Daqing, who was driving the boat, curiously looked at the mutated octopus hiding in the bus.
"I saw a video on Bizhan of fishing in the sea. The fishermen tied the can to the rope and tied the other end to the reef."
Gao Fei recalled.
"When the tide rises at night, the sea water floods the jar, and the octopus will get into the jar and make a nest."
"After the tide receded the next morning, the fishermen came back to collect the jars, and by the way, they caught the octopus in the jars and cooked them."
"Judging from the giant octopus that got into the bus to make a nest, many creatures have been infected by magic and mutated. They only become larger in size but still maintain their previous habits."
Jiang Feng stood up holding her boyfriend's shoulders and looked through the car window.
"Hey! This big octopus has a head as big as a bathtub, and its eight tentacles are four meters long! Tsk, tsk, if you take this big guy out and chop it into cubes, you can make 10,000 small octopuses at least.
The meatballs are enough for us to eat till we’re full!”
Ma Yun heard her teammates' discussion and curiously looked around. When she saw the big squirming octopus, she couldn't help but exclaimed.
"What the hell is this? It's blinding my gold eyes!"
Everyone thought that Xiao Ma, who was participating in the special mission for the first time, was frightened by the monster, but then her crazy comments changed the impression.
"As we all know, cephalopods do not have sodium-potassium pumps! Why does this big octopus move to freshwater areas? I am really curious, how does this guy regulate osmotic pressure?"
Ma Tao glared at his sister and scolded her angrily: "In the high-demon environment after the Silver Flash outbreak, it is unscientific to try to use old concepts to copy supernatural monsters!"
At this time, gunfire suddenly came from behind.
Gao Fei looked back and saw that it was Zhou Guanqun who had fired.
The other newcomers in Team 12, seeing someone taking the lead in firing, also raised their guns and aimed at the octopus.
The motorboat floats on the water, making shooting inherently difficult.
Coupled with the heavy rain and the obstruction of the carriage, most of the bullets fired by the crowd missed, and the window glass shattered.
Only Xu Zhigang, an auxiliary policeman who had served as a soldier, was relatively accurate with his marksmanship. He hit the big octopus in the head and sprayed out a stream of blue plasma from where he was hit.
The mutated octopus seemed to twitch in pain, and then sprayed out a large amount of ink, making the inside and outside of the carriage muddy.
Under the cover of ink, the big octopus quickly broke away from the bus and dived into the water to hide.
The spread of ink on the water surface revealed its whereabouts gradually disappearing.
Everyone was hesitating whether to go into the water and chase him.
An unusually cold wind suddenly hit the air, followed by the familiar roar of a dragon.
Gao Fei's heart moved and he looked up at the sky.
Sure enough, she saw the silver dragon transformed by Lin Qi swooping down, skimming across the water, spraying out a white cold current, instantly freezing the mutated octopus into ice.
The frozen giant octopus surfaced and swirled slowly.
At this time, the sound of the motorboat's motor came from behind again.
Special police officers from Team 01 and Team 11 came in four speedboats.
Liu Xingyu was sitting on the leading motorboat, and Penny was in charge of driving.
"Brother Red Dragon! Go to the East Station quickly! Leave the monsters on the streets to us to deal with!" Penny shouted.
"Thank you, Xiao Pan!" Gao Fei waved, "You should also be more careful!"
Gao Fei started the motorboat and continued on his way around the broken down bus.
Hao Le looked back at his colleagues who were fighting the water monster, and muttered angrily: "Actually, we can take care of the big octopus ourselves without anyone else's help. Doesn't this count as robbing the monster?"
"We are all colleagues with different mission goals. Only by cooperation and mutual assistance can we minimize the harm of disasters. Don't bring the lone ranger mentality in the game into reality."
Qitian warned Hao Le seriously.
In fact, when he was still a newcomer, he treated real-life monsters with the mentality of a gamer, treating colleagues and even teammates as competitors for experience points.
Precisely because he had a similar mentality, he was able to see through Hao Le's thoughts and give timely advice.
"Thanks for the advice, Brother Tian." Hao Le is a very sensible boy with a sweet mouth. "Brother Tian, you are an old man. I heard that the main secondary professions are thieves and animal trainers. It just so happens that my main secondary professions are thieves.
Wandering Swordsman, you will be my teacher from now on, just call me Lele!"
