Qingshui River.
The mother river of the city.
As a river running through the city, there were many fish living in it. What's more, under the city's intentional maintenance, the river was prohibited from being fished by humans. Early before the doomsday, it was a famous ecological landscape.
No one knew how many fish there were in it.
Hound stood at one end of the river. He felt that since joining the fishing team, this was the most incredible period of his life.
Hound was a human.
Just like Sickle, the starting point of their nicknames was the same. They wanted to make a name for themselves in the Economic Development Zone.
Hound's sense of smell was very sensitive. It was strange to say that he did not awaken, but his sense of smell was strengthened. As long as he smelled something once, as long as it appeared within a kilometer, he could accurately smell it.
Amazing talent.
It was because of this that he was recruited into the investigation department. After a period of hard work, he became the captain of a ten-person team.
This was a very normal phenomenon.
As time passed, situations like Hound would become more and more common. Many ordinary people, although not becoming professionals, had some abilities strengthened.
For example, vision, agility, strength, or smell. Although these enhancements were not worth mentioning compared to professionals, they were still considered unusual among humans. If ordinary people were 0 and professionals were 1, then these people were a number between 0.5.
The energy in the air had changed.
More and more energy was changing the air and atmosphere of this planet.
The reason for all this was that the dimensional wall began to weaken, and the energy of other dimensions poured out from it and gathered together.
This world was like a body, and these energies were like delicacies. After absorbing enough nutrients, the originally thin and weak body would slowly become strong and powerful.
As a human, he was also one of the beneficiaries.
National enhancement.
It was no longer an extravagant hope.
Hound stood by the river, his eyes were a little unfocused. He could not describe what he had seen and heard during this period of time. Originally, he thought that the Economic Development Zone was just an ordinary shelter, but after getting along, it was not so.
Too many impossibilities had become possible here.
The walls erected overnight, the skeletons guarding the city, the corpse trees planted outside the city, and the insect meat factory. The Economic Development Zone was not destroyed by the arrival of doomsday. Instead, it welcomed a second development.
Compared to the previous incidents, the one who left the deepest impression on him was the professional who had come to the economic zone not long ago.
As the captain of the investigation team, the Hound was not a small fry who had not seen the world. To him, professionals were not that rare. However, not long ago, he received an assignment to escort a professional to participate in a fishing operation.
At first, Hound only treated this as an ordinary mission, but when he saw the other party, he couldn't help but be stunned.
A mermaid.
A real mermaid.
She had a petite figure and a beautiful face. She didn't seem to be good with words and would blush if she spoke too much. However, her arrival was destined to attract a lot of attention.
A fishtail replaced her legs and grew under the girl's body.
When he got close to her, it was as if he was close to the sea. The hound could even smell the scent of the sea, which made him feel refreshed.
The hound was in a daze.
Although it was wishful thinking to say so, the moment the hound saw the other party, it was as if he saw the true meaning of life, and his whole appearance changed.
People kept telling him that the other party was the lord's confidant, and there were even rumors that the other party was likely to be one of the lord's exclusive property, but he couldn't control his feelings at all.
This world was dangerous.
Even if he became a captain, the hound's nerves were still tense from time to time, and when he encountered monsters, he would still feel fear.
But after seeing the other party, all of this changed. His heart, which had been placed countless times, finally found a place to belong. Although he told himself more than once that this was simply a dream, he couldn't control his gaze at all.
He just needed to look from afar, and he only had this one wish.
Seventeen years old.
An age that was like a flower.
From then on, the hound began to carefully dress himself up. Through some channels, he got a few clothes that fit him. He even began to trim his hair, so much so that he was thinking about whether he should change his name. Hound? God knows why he chose such a name in the first place.
When they saw the girl, everyone was impressed by her appearance.
However, when the other party displayed his abilities, some people were even more shocked.
It was a clear day, and because of the snow, the river had begun to freeze. Even an adult would need some time to prepare to cut through the ice.
But when the girl floated to the ice, all of this changed. The originally hard ice began to crack, and then, the originally still river began to flow slowly.
It wasn't over yet.
The girl waved her hand, and her mouth sang some strange notes. Soon, the river began to boil, and countless fat fish appeared near the girl.
Everyone's mouth was wide open.
After a while, some people who had woken up began to shout, "Hurry up and do it!"!
The prepared fishing net was thrown into the river. Due to the mutation, the fish had also mutated. The Crucian Carps that were originally only the size of a palm had grown to half a meter long monsters. In addition, some fish had even grown to two meters and could spit ice spears to injure people.
However, the soldiers would not just take a beating. After the fish came ashore, at least 50% of their strength was taken away. With the help of guns and blades, even the most terrifying fish would become a corpse.
In just one day, the catch was more than five thousand pounds!
A terrifying number.
What kind of concept was this?
It indicated that after the worm meat was removed from the economic zone, there would be another way to harvest food.
What's more, compared to the fishy worm meat, the fish meat was more delicious and nutritious.
Thinking about the fish meat being boiled into soup or dried into fish, most people began to gulp, wanting to taste this long-awaited delicacy.
The hound would always remember that scene. He could not help but feel that the girl in front of him might be a messenger sent by the heavens to save the economic zone.
As a talented squad leader, the hound should be in the investigation team. There, he would have more room for improvement.
At first, the hound thought so too.
But after meeting her, everything changed. Protecting her was no longer a task, but a mission.
