Qin Feng was naturally spared from the remaining battle.
The executives of Sea City paid a total of five billion to Qin Feng reluctantly.
It was a fair trade considering Qin Feng’s feat. However, the other aptitude users still bemoaned for not getting any materials after putting in the effort to stall the beast generals earlier.
These people knew nothing about gratitude. Qin Feng paid no attention to them.
The G8-tier aptitude user, Tian Miao, who escorted Qin Feng earlier, was the only few showing Qin Feng proper respect. He prepared a spacious car for Qin Feng to rest and had also brought along the chef from Sea City hotel to cook for Qin Feng.
There were ample materials in Qin Feng’s spatial equipment. The chef was an excellent cook and Qin Feng was being generous with the ingredients. That resulted in one delicious dish after another.
Chu Yinshan had joined Qin Feng for the meal. Their conversation provided Qin Feng a lot of new information that he was not aware of in his past life.
After all, Chu Yinshan was more than ten years older than Qin Feng and had a great life experience. He would no doubt make a good mentor.
Qin Feng admired a man of such calibre.
“I suggest you visit Niumeng City after you are done with Sea City,” Qin Feng said.
Chu Yinshan looked at Qin Feng with surprise, then he nodded. “Okay. I will do as you say.”
They chatted for a while and Chu Yinshan took his leave. After all, amidst the climax of the sea beast tide, even an F-tier beast could be a huge headache.
Qin Feng was allowed to rest because he had single-handedly slain five beast generals to turn the tides around.
You do not draw a sword to kill a fly.
Two hours later, the tides had once again subsided. However, the defense team along the coastline dared not loosen up and hurriedly strengthened the barrier to prevent the seawater from flooding the city.
They had no room to retreat now. Right behind them were the precious plantation lots of Sea City.
The barricade was more than twenty meters high. It was built up speedily surrounding the periphery of Sea City with proper drainage.
Such construction was a piece of cake to the human race with the current technological advancements.
Soon, the sun went down the horizon. Orange rays bathed the evening sky, displaying a thrilling yet poignant scenery.
The wind seemed to have declined gradually.
However, the hearts of the people in Sea City were still clenched, knowing that this calamity was far from its ending.
“Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!”
The alarm was sounded yet again, signaling the arrival of the next sea beast tide.
The surveillance drones that were patrolling in the sky were instantly blasted away by the storm. Turbulent sea waves crashed on the barricade outside Sea City mercilessly.
Splash!
The dam floor was once again flooded by the waves. The barricade worked perfectly as it effectively prevented water from entering the city.
“Here they come!”
“Trigger the electric mine!”
“Don’t let them climb the barricade!”
Members of the battalion shouted out the instructions hysterically.
Qin Feng alighted the vehicle and quickly went up the barricade. From his vantage point, he could see that the base of the barricade had been thronged by countless beasts.
Suddenly, a Blue Croc jumped up from the water. Its three-meter-long body climbed up the barricade rapidly. Once it reached the top, the beast struck its maw and bit the nearest aptitude user.
Almost instantaneously, the aptitude user lost his legs. He was dragged down to the waters violently while shrieking painfully.
Fresh blood stained the mud-water red.
Qin Feng drew his blaster and shot the Blue Croc.
Blood spread across the pool rapidly, which attracted more beasts to the spot.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Qin Feng fired rapidly. He did not miss a single shot and in the blink of an eye, the aptitude user was surrounded by beast carcasses.
The aptitude user was unharmed other than his initial wound. He knew someone had just saved his life.
He followed the projectile of the gunshot and saw Qin Feng who was still calmly firing. Each shot from his blaster instantly took away the life of a beast.
That was true strength.
Feeling grateful and astonished, the aptitude user took advantage of the short window of safety and climbed up to the nearest land with both his hands and feet.
Qin Feng, who had been watching the aptitude user, pulled a long face.
Both of his legs were broken. His lower limbs were nowhere to be seen under his pants.
“Thank you kind sir!” The guy smiled at Qin Feng but there was more sorrow on his face rather than joy.
Though he was an ancient warrior, he was now a disabled man after losing both his legs. There was a slim chance that he would ever battle again.
Such was the fate of every aptitude user.
At least he was still alive.
Qin Feng took in a deep breath and nodded back. The blaster in his hands was being fired more rapidly now.
How many humans had fallen to the sea beast tide?
An idea suddenly came to Qin Feng’s mind. He had never thought about it in the past, including his previous life.
‘When will Doomsday end? We have been living like this for two hundred years!’
‘A-tiers are just petty flies in the eyes of those behemoths. Though S-tier is an entirely different existence, even they are unable to change the course of human fate in this hellish world.’
‘What can I do then? Is it possible for me to reach S-tier, SS-tier, or even higher?’
‘If that’s achievable, will human race finally be able to close the rift permanently and end this f*cking Doomsday once and for all then?’
The target became clearer and clearer in Qin Feng’s mind.
Qin Feng moved even faster. His conscious energy was expanding insanely through the tense battle.
E8-tier! Qin Feng made a breakthrough during the battle.
At the same time, the alarm of the communicator rang once more.
Even without its warning, Qin Feng could already see the horrible creature.
Unknown spots were seen floating on the mud water. As the wave crashed forward, the spots reflected the rays of the setting sun and appeared orange in color.
It could be easily mistaken as a giant translucent net or a piece of plastic. But the aura around the “thing” was telling enough that it was no ordinary creature.
An E5-tier beast king!
It was a gigantic jellyfish.
Though it was still quite far away from the city, people could easily spot the monster from high ground. The monster was carried by the river, and dead bodies could be seen piling around it. The monster was eerily quiet.
Those bodies must have been killed by the jellyfish’s poison.
So the identity of the beast was a mutated jellyfish carrying deadly venom.
Everyone was daunted by the beast, except Qin Feng.
A sense of determination could be seen in his eyes.
‘Kill, kill them all to end this sickening world! This is the living duty of every human on this Earth!’
The next moment, Qin Feng raised his hand and summoned a beast.
Umbra stallion!
Qin Feng climbed the horse and galloped straight toward the jellyfish.
The defenders on the barricade rounded their eyes watching Qin Feng’s action.
“What is he doing?” Wang Zhichao could not believe his own eyes.
Yang Ping’s lips were trembling too. He watched Qin Feng’s back and realized how foolish he was before for attempting to take this man’s life.
“Is he crazy!?”
He might very well be. Or else, he would not dare to challenge a beast king all by himself.
Only a lunatic would do what Qin Feng was doing.
He had no fear!
