"We also want to find the Prehistoric Colossus," the Team Leader said.

"Find it! We must find it! I'll go search!" Huo Shuangshuang gritted her teeth, her eyes bloodshot at the thought of her adorable little sister being bullied by someone. She wished she could devour the Prehistoric Colossus alive.

"It's extremely difficult to find. We haven't finished clearing the zombies yet, and now we're facing continuous heavy rain with water levels rising to ten meters. Our communication systems are collapsing. The difficulty of finding the Prehistoric Colossus is enormous." The Team Leader wasn't optimistic about this plan. The Prehistoric Colossus transformer never boasted about his identity online, appearing for short periods each time before quickly disappearing without leaving any trace.

The only clue about the Prehistoric Colossus was a single glimpse of his back.

Trying to identify a target based solely on a back view was far too difficult.

Every time rescue teams brought back survivors, he would send people to ask if they could recognize the Prehistoric Colossus's identity from that back view.

A small number of people claimed they recognized the Prehistoric Colossus and provided names, but when they sent people to investigate, the results were often wrong—they had misidentified someone. Some even deliberately fabricated lies to get more food, severely wasting manpower and resources.

So far, there were still dozens of targets left unchecked, and whether the Prehistoric Colossus transformer was among them remained unknown.

"Give me all the targets! I'll investigate them! I refuse to believe we can't find him! R City is only so big! If he doesn't leave, we'll catch him eventually!" Huo Shuangshuang said fiercely.

Time passed, and the water level rose higher each day.

The originally fortunate ones who possessed abundant food and safe shelters were forced to relocate by the ever-rising water levels, feeling utterly helpless and on the verge of tears.

They had thought they could survive in the apocalypse for a very long time. While others went hungry, they smugly ate delicious food until their bellies bulged. Those with higher desires used food to secure submission from the opposite sex, living what seemed like a wonderful life.

But when the relentless rain caused floodwaters to submerge their shelters, they finally understood that in the apocalypse, no one could escape calamity through temporary luck. Luck eventually runs out, while disasters are endless.

These once-lucky individuals who lost their vast food supplies and shelters were discovered by starving disaster victims, and the flowers of slaughter and bloodshed quietly began to bloom.

"Li Xuan, will the heavy rain ever stop? The water has already reached the tenth floor!" Yun Xiuzhi asked worriedly.

Over thirty meters deep!

This amount of rainfall was absolutely ridiculous!

The key point was that this wasn't just regional rainfall—global water levels were rising everywhere!

Looking around, every direction showed nothing but water. Low-lying buildings had long disappeared, as if the world had transformed into a watery realm.

"It won't stop for quite some time," Li Xuan said.

Intelligence indicated the heavy rain would cease after one month, and the sun would reappear.

"Ah?! It won't stop? Aren't you afraid the floodwaters will reach the eighteenth floor!" Yun Xiuzhi exclaimed.

"What's the use of being afraid?" Li Xuan waved his hand dismissively.

Yun Xiuzhi muttered several sentences quietly after hearing this, though Li Xuan couldn't make out what she was saying.

"With water levels rising this high, finding food has become even more difficult."

Only a small amount of food had been carried to the surface by floodwaters, while most remained submerged about thirty meters underwater. For those who hadn't learned diving, retrieving food was nearly impossible.

"The floodwaters have connected lakes across the nation, even reaching the oceans. Fish and shrimp are swimming everywhere, so survivors can catch fish to eat."

Li Xuan pointed downward, and Yun Xiuzhi followed his finger to see a plump black fish blowing bubbles.

"There really are fish, but can saltwater fish from the ocean swim all the way here?"

"They can't."

"Then why did you say that?"

"Coastal areas might encounter marine creatures that swam off course. R City isn't a coastal city—marine creatures would die before reaching here. If you see something moving, it's definitely a zombie," Li Xuan explained.

"How would we easily encounter zombie animals? Isn't the zombie virus very difficult to transmit to animals?"

Li Xuan said ominously, "It was difficult before, but not necessarily now."

Intelligence [Virus Evolution: Heavy rain, eternal daylight, and perpetual night will stimulate the zombie virus, causing it to evolve. On the twenty-fifth day of torrential rain, the zombie virus evolves, significantly enhancing its transmission capability! Animals other than humans invaded by the zombie virus see infection probability increase from 0.01% to 100%]

The heavy rain had already exceeded twenty-five days, meaning the zombie virus evolution was complete. Soon, zombie animals would appear in large numbers.

He had transmitted this message using Song Shandian's subordinate's phone, though he didn't know how many people would see it and take it seriously.

Nowadays, water and electricity were completely cut off, network signals were poor, and far fewer people went online. Even official video announcements had few comments beneath them, appearing desolate and cold, revealing the apocalypse's merciless cruelty.

Elsewhere, a survivor was fishing by the window. His wife, who previously hadn't supported his fishing hobby, now wished he would fish twenty-four hours a day.

The fishing rod twitched—another day without catching anything.

Without bait, he couldn't attract fish to bite, forced to use artificial lures with unsatisfactory results.

"It's all your fault for not letting me buy bait before the apocalypse. Otherwise, we'd be eating big fish right now," the survivor complained to his wife.

The woman, displeased by his words, pulled out her phone. "Look carefully! This person said large numbers of zombie fish have appeared in the water! You must be extremely careful when fishing! With your frail body, if you hook a zombie fish, we're both finished."

Hmph!

The survivor snorted coldly, turning to the woman. "Officials released information about the zombie virus—it's very difficult to infect animals. Unless we have absolutely terrible luck, we won't catch any zombie fish!"

Tap tap tap~

The woman retreated repeatedly, looking at the survivor in terror.

The survivor frowned deeply. "What are you looking at?"

The woman tremblingly extended her finger, pointing behind the survivor. "Outside! So many zombie fish outside!"

!

The survivor whirled around to see zombie fish leaping across the water's surface—dense and numerous, like a black tide rushing toward them.

"How can there be so many!"

The survivor quickly stood up, grabbed the woman's hand, and together they ran toward the bathroom.

The next moment, countless zombie fish leaped through the air, shattering the window glass as they vaulted into the room. They twitched continuously, their fish mouths opening and closing, their rotting whitish bodies particularly horrifying.
