The snow-white hook was raised high, spinning quickly toward Zhang Xiaoqiang. Zhang Xiaoqiang suddenly shouted, and a wave of water rushed up from under Zhang Xiaoqiang, completely blocking him and the fast motorboat. When the water splashed down, the people in the distance found that Zhang Xiaoqiang was standing intact on the black wooden board on the river, but the blue motorboat had disappeared without a trace.
Not long after, 5 wooden rafts carrying a group of frightened women and children arrived behind Zhang Xiao Qiang. Zhang Xiao Qiang twisted the water snake's horn, turning its head to face the wooden rafts beside the water snake. Looking around, the majority of the rafts were women. Their looks were not outstanding, but there were a few who had a certain temperament. However, in the apocalypse, temperament was not as popular as it was in his previous life. There were less than 10 men, most of them were skinny and weak, looking like they belonged to the intellectual type. Maybe they had high intelligence, but in this apocalypse where one needed to use their muscles to prove their strength, they were not popular. The rest were children, ranging in age from 12 to 2 years old, there were no younger ones to be seen.
Zhang Xiaoqiang was still approaching downstream. The water snake would not stop swimming without orders. While Zhang Xiaoqiang was surprised by the killing in front of him, the motorboats in the distance also saw Zhang Xiaoqiang. Zhang Xiaoqiang's speed was so fast that they involuntarily made Zhang Xiaoqiang their first target. One of the motorboats suddenly turned and rushed toward Zhang Xiaoqiang. Seeing the twisted and extremely ugly face of the man on the motorboat, Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart was filled with an unprecedented murderous intent. The murderous intent formed a substantial film around him. Under the impact of the murderous intent, circles of water rippled slightly. The ripples spread and vibrated as he rushed down quickly.
There were less than 40 people left on the raft. Nearly 20 people had been killed by the motorboat, so the rest of the women and children no longer dared to wander on the river. They would rather find an evolved person to be enslaved, at least they could survive. After escaping death, no one wanted to die again. The overturned motorboat was upside down on the river and crashed into the breakwater with the waves. Each collision would scatter some debris. Zhang Xiaoqiang and the water snake floated steadily in the river. Looking at the motorboat that was gradually breaking, Zhang Xiaoqiang felt a little conflicted. Most of the survivors behind him were women and children, and many of them had various scars on their bodies and faces. Obviously, they were survivors who could not stand the abuse and ran away from Shanghai. These people had nothing to do with him, so he could just leave. If he was not happy, he could ask them to go against the river and settle down in the sandbar.
The motorboat wanted to escape, but Zhang Xiaoqiang was not willing to let them go. In the eyes of the survivors who were secretly begging to escape, the mysterious man suddenly accelerated, and the rolling waves pushed at Zhang Xiaoqiang's feet. With the surging of the river, Zhang Xiaoqiang's body was also rising, and a black reef appeared under his feet. In the blink of an eye, the reef became the head of a monster, scaring the people on the raft to death. The survivors on the raft were just scared to death. The driver of the motorboat turned his head to look behind him, and then he was so stunned that he didn't even know where he was. His companions were still urging him to go, but he stared blankly behind him, motionless like a nightmare. His strangeness caused his companions to panic, and they also looked back. Both of them were stunned.
Then the big water snake spat out some pieces of the blue motorboat, shaking its head as if it was enjoying it very much. Zhang Xiaoqiang frowned and looked at the snake head under his feet. He didn't expect that after evolution, the water snake would start to eat people. This was not a good thing. He could only simply command the water snake, and he couldn't really command it, so he couldn't stop the water snake from eating people. Even if a few people were eaten by the big snake a thousand times, they deserved to die. However, Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't want to raise a man-eating monster.
However, these were all excuses. These people were either young or some skinny women. They absolutely did not have the strength to find the upper sandbank. Not everyone had the luck to find it. Besides, there were hunters lurking everywhere along the Yangtze River. They didn't care if they were the people Zhang Xiaoqiang was sheltering. The only way was to go ashore and find a place for these people to settle down, which was another troublesome matter.
The rocket arrived in front of Zhang Xiaoqiang in an instant. Facing the rocket, Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't dare to be careless. He didn't seem to do anything, but the rocket disappeared into thin air, at least in the eyes of the man on the motorboat. In fact, Zhang Xiaoqiang used the Rat King Blade to break it down in an instant. Countless small steel fragments fell around him, and gunpowder also flew around him. It was like a layer of black mist enveloping him. The motorboat in front of him suddenly burst into a panicked cry, then turned around and rowed to the side.
The water snake had been lurking under the river, and its huge body was covered by the water. Standing on its head, Zhang Xiaoqiang looked like he was standing on a wooden stake. It was impossible for outsiders to know that the black wooden board under Zhang Xiaoqiang's feet was actually a giant beast. If the water snake was in its full glory, its horn would make it look more ferocious. However, when the snake was underwater, it could easily be mistaken for a simple sail.
Zhang Xiao Qiang's means were beyond the expectations of the men on the motorboat. They already knew who Zhang Xiao Qiang was. The only person who could do this was an evolved person. Evolved people had a special status in Shanghai, and any evolved person was the target of many forces. They were favored by God and were always above ordinary people. Even if they did not do anything, they did not have to worry about the lack of resources. There were only two classes in Shanghai: evolved people and ordinary people. If they provoked an evolved person, even these vicious thugs would be afraid.
No one knew what had happened. The other motorboat suddenly turned around and rushed toward Zhang Xiaoqiang again. This time, there was no hook, only an army green rocket launcher. The previous motorboat did not realize that Zhang Xiaoqiang's speed was the strangest thing, so it dealt with Zhang Xiaoqiang like it dealt with ordinary people. The remaining motorboat would not make such a stupid mistake. Just when the two sides were about 100 meters apart, the rocket launcher was launched first. In the white smoke, the slender rocket crossed the layers of waves and quickly rushed to the feet of Zhang Xiaoqiang. It was calculated in advance and coincided with the time when Zhang Xiaoqiang rushed over.
These seemingly useless survivors were so pitiful. They pinned all their hopes on Zhang Xiaoqiang and did not see Zhang Xiaoqiang as a savior. The fact that Zhang Xiaoqiang was an evolved person made them divide him into a ruling class. In Shanghai, except for the government soldiers who hid in remote corners, any evolved person was a privileged class above ordinary people. Class divided them and evolved people into two classes: sheep and wolves.
Although the two men were scared silly by the mutant water snake, the motorboat did not stop moving forward. It was still rushing toward the river. Zhang Xiaoqiang stood on the head of the snake and followed closely behind. Just as the motorboat lost control and was about to hit the jetty, the snake suddenly opened its mouth and sucked. The motorboat that was rushing forward suddenly lost its forward momentum and flew horizontally in a circle, falling into the mouth full of sharp teeth of the water snake. The two thugs also screamed in horror.
The two thugs were thrown into the air. Compared to the huge motorboat, they were much lighter and rushed toward the mouth of the big snake at a faster speed. Even if they were not sucked away by the big snake, they would still be killed when they hit the jetty. Zhang Xiaoqiang did not want to let them go so easily, so he commanded the big snake to suck the two men over at the last moment. He originally wanted to catch the two guys and torture them, but just as he was about to reach out, the two big men suddenly disappeared into the mouth of the big snake. Then the snake closed its mouth, and the motorboat lost its suction. It flipped over and floated into the water, splashing waves.
Therefore, none of them expected Zhang Xiao Qiang to be kind enough to save them from this abyss of suffering. They only hoped that Zhang Xiao Qiang would be a little more merciful than other wolves and let them live. Even if they did not want dignity or human rights, as long as Zhang Xiao Qiang did not kill them at will, and did not force them to fight with other forces with knives, spears, and clubs to fight for the so-called territory, they did not ask for much, that was all.
The man they had shot with rockets before was standing on the head of the huge monster. The horn, which they thought was a tree branch, made the monster look even more ferocious. Its 100-meter-long body twisted quickly on the river, and each twist had the same frequency. The 100-meter-long monster seemed to be very slow, but in fact, it was too long. Every time it moved forward, its body gave people the wrong impression. Its scarlet eyes stared at the motorboat without emotion, indifference, emptiness, and a trace of what they thought was tyrannical. Even the most ferocious and cruel evolvers in Shanghai did not have a millionth of the ruthlessness in the eyes of this monster.
Suddenly looking up, Zhang Xiaoqiang saw some people looking around between the buildings on the river bank, and some people on high ground began to be wary of him. Even if these people had weapons in their hands, they did not dare to aim at him, for fear of angering him. Turning his head to look at the river, the remaining five wooden rafts were gathering together and rowing towards the river bank. It seemed that they wanted to seek protection from Zhang Xiaoqiang, even though the big monster under Zhang Xiaoqiang made them equally afraid.
