Chapter 2 Repairing the Ship
Awakening of superpowers.
The sudden appearance of the light curtain pulled Fu Xi back from the brink of despair, but in the few seconds he was in a daze, zombies surged in like a wave and quickly filled the deck.
The current crisis is not yet over, and another crisis is about to follow.
A claw with grayish skin and black nails suddenly reached up from below the deck, followed by dozens of zombies.
Fu Xi's pupils contracted sharply, and his body reacted instantly, closing the gangway!
"There's still a chance. As long as the gangway is closed, the pressure will drop dramatically!" Fu Xi rushed to the cockpit. He had to close it before the monster came aboard.
Fortunately, with the help of fate, Fuxi successfully reached the driver's cab and pressed the button to control the gangway, but another accident occurred.
The gangway was halfway up when it stopped; the zombies were blocking the way.
"Damn it, we have to deal with these zombies to shut down smoothly!" Fu Xi picked up the hammer on the table and prepared to rush out.
However, before the storm had subsided, another wave arose. The zombies on the deck had already surrounded Fuxi and blocked her doorway.
He can't get out.
"Why are you clinging to me like a dog? If this keeps up, I'll either get killed by zombies or disappear into the sea!"
Despair flashed in Fu Xi's eyes, but the next moment he was surprised to find that the gangway was completely closed, and there stood a woman in plain clothes holding a machete.
That's Tuan Tuan!
Panting, Tuan Tuan gave Fu Xi a reassuring smile, and the next moment she rushed straight towards the door of the driver's cab.
It moved very quickly, and the zombies blocking the driver's cab door fell to the ground and became completely still.
"Why...why aren't you leaving yet? Why did you risk your life to save me?" Fu Xi pushed open the door and met Tuan Tuan's eyes, who was in a bloodthirsty rage.
The red liquid dripped rhythmically across the blade, a sight that sent chills down Fu Xi's spine.
Why is she different from the woman I remember?
Before Fuxi could think further, Tuantuan interrupted him with a smile: "This is my home, and you are my only family!"
family?
Fu Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she felt extremely uncomfortable!
Fu Xi was originally an only child, but because of Tuan Tuan's appearance, he found that he was not as favored as before, so he did not like her!
He used to dislike her, but today he found he couldn't bring himself to dislike her anymore.
Before Fuxi could speak, the Titanic began to sink again, and Fuxi nearly fell over as it rocked violently.
"Oh no, if we don't fix the leaking problem, we'll still die!" Fu Xi went to the deck and found that the 15-meter-tall ship had already sunk halfway.
There is no way to solve this situation except through divine intervention.
and many more……
Fu Xi immediately thought of the superpowered mechanic who had awakened before. In the current situation, it was probably the only one who could turn the tide for her!
[Current Mechanic Level: lv1, 3/500]
[Basic Attributes]
[Strength Lv1, 11/50]
[Defense Lv1, 10/50]
[Speed lv1, 10/50]
[Current Building Materials]
[10 tons of alloy, 10 tons of aluminum sheets...]
[Current Skill]
[Repair Structure lv1, 0/500, consumes stamina, powers all mechanical tools!]
……
With a wide variety of options available, Fuxi's gaze immediately fell on the skill of repairing structures.
At the same time, as if he could read minds, an option immediately appeared below the light screen.
[Repairing the ship's hull consumes 5 tons of alloy and takes 10 seconds. Repair now?]
Without the slightest hesitation, Fu Xi placed his hand on the ship's hull. A white light flashed in his hand, and a countdown immediately appeared before his eyes.
10.
9.
……
In a short time, the Titanic sank several more meters, and more and more zombies surrounded it.
At this moment, Fuxi could clearly feel her stamina rapidly draining away, a result of using skills, but at this rate, the ship's hull had not yet been repaired.
He would be torn to pieces by the zombies, and he would need someone to protect him for ten seconds.
"Tuantuan, stay by my side for ten seconds, and I'll have a way to solve the ship's problem." Fuxi can't even lift a knife now.
Tuan Tuan didn't question it. She picked up her knife and stood guard beside Fu Xi. During this time, zombies kept coming up, but she killed them all.
one second.
"Boom—Buzz—"
Fuxi's lips turned pale, and a metallic hum echoed in her mind. In the last second of repairing the ship's hull, it was as if everything was being dragged into slow motion.
The roars rose and fell, and Fu Xi was shocked to see that a sheet of iron, several tens of meters in size, had completely wrapped around the Titanic.
The ear-piercing roars abruptly ceased, and the swarming zombies were crushed into minced meat by the metal sheeting, which then merged into the ship's hull.
Succeeded?
Amidst skeptical glances, the Titanic gradually rose to the surface, and the pressure on Tuan Tuan lessened considerably.
Seeing this, Fu Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at the deck.
Crimson liquid and indescribable tissue covered the entire deck, creating a scene of hell on earth.
Just then, the light screen in front of him reappeared.
Repair successful. Mechanical Points +3, Mechanical Repair Points +3, Strength +1...
[Current Mechanic Level: lv1, 6/500]
[Alloy 5t,...]
……
[Repair Structure lv1, 3/500, consumes stamina, powers all mechanical tools!]
They also took care of the zombies while they were repairing the structures.
Overjoyed at surviving the ordeal, Fu Xi gained a clear understanding of her own system.
Even within the superpower community, this ability is considered top-tier.
"It's strong, but I feel completely drained!" Fu Xi staggered to his feet. Tuan Tuan, who had also finished her business, rushed over to help him up.
"Brother? How are you? What happened just now? Why did a huge piece of metal suddenly appear?" Tuan Tuan's eyes were bloodshot, but she couldn't suppress her worry.
Fu Xi didn't hide it from her; after going through this incident, she could be considered family to him!
So what if we're not related by blood?
"I think I just awakened a superpower, but it's okay. Help me to the driver's seat first. Let's get out of this mess and escape westward!"
Tuantuan didn't ask any more questions and helped Fuxi to the driver's seat.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar control panel, Fu Xi felt a mix of emotions.
"The Mechanic should be able to start directly, right?" Without the slightest hesitation, Fu Xi's hand flashed with white light, and the Mechanic was activated!
The Titanic roared to life, its lights came on, and Fu Xi knew he had succeeded!
His heart was pounding. He was extremely excited. He would never have to compromise again, except for the fact that he could survive!
Just then, a commotion came from outside.
The loud noise from the repairs, along with the strong smell of blood, attracted the strange attention.
A huge black shadow was seen hovering in mid-air more than ten meters above the deck, constantly approaching.
Fu Xi recognized it; it was the monster that had just smashed a large section of the ship's hull.
This was clearly not in the same league as those zombies. He immediately recalled the three warnings from the doomsday radio broadcast:
1: The Kuroshio Current ceases its activity during the day!
2: The strange creature will devour and evolve.
3: Monsters have no innate consciousness and act on instinct. As long as you find out their killing patterns, you can increase your chances of survival.
Fu Xi questioned the first point, since it was daytime now according to the time.
Fu Xi's gaze fell on the black mist around her, where no sunlight could be seen. Could it be that the black mist made Hei Chao think it was night?
Fu Xi is currently confused, but he has no choice. He is in a very bad state and can only gamble on the other party's killing patterns.
He suspected the creature was a visual monster because it didn't attack before the lights were turned on.
It will only attack if it can see it!
Fu Xi immediately shut down the Titanic. The roar stopped, the lights went out, and the surroundings fell into a deathly silence.
"Brother, what do you think we should do?" Tuan Tuan's gaze fell on Fu Xi, but he was not in good condition and could only wait and see.
"Wait a minute, let's see if it leaves..."
Fu Xi focused all his attention on the dark figure in front of him, but he was surprised to find that the monster did not move.
"As expected, it was because I turned on the light that it attracted it!" Fu Xi said, but she was not at ease, because the two sides were at an impasse.
The other party did not leave, and Fuxi dared not move!
"Ah!" But a sudden shout broke the deadlock the next moment.
A light flickered in the distance beneath the black mist, immediately attracting the monster's attention.
This gave Fuxi a chance to leave quickly!
The commotion had startled Fu Xi, but he remained tense, his eyes fixed on the direction the monster had gone.
In front of the monster, two women were driving a pickup truck and racing wildly, shouting.
In a short time, the horde of corpses surged like ants, and wails filled the air. This scene terrified Fuxi.
The crisis is far from over; as long as we haven't escaped the black fog, we can't be considered safe.
Fu Xi's eyes sharpened as he looked at this hard-won opportunity; he had to steer the ship away from here.
