Universe Infinite Canteen

Ma Lu adjusted the jet nozzle to maximum, activated sprint mode, and swiftly flew out more than twenty meters. He glanced back.

Finding the three people still incapacitated by the anti-wolf spray, unable to open their eyes, he finally felt relieved. However, just as he lowered his head to check out the new equipment he had acquired,

something flew out of the darkness, nearly hitting him in the chest. Ma Lu hastily looked up, only to discover it was an arm.

At the same time, a heart-wrenching scream reached his ears.

Ma Lu looked in the direction of the scream and saw a woman with a severed arm desperately running towards him.

The woman clearly noticed Ma Lu too; hope flickered in her eyes as she shrieked, "Save me…"

But her words were cut off halfway as the creatures behind her caught up.

They were a group of small fish, the largest only half the size of a palm, and the smaller ones merely as thick as a finger.

Their bodies were adorned with colorful stripes that emitted a gentle glow in the darkness, making these small fish flicker like cute fireflies.

However, what happened next was rather chilling for Ma Lu.

They caught up to the woman with the severed arm, voraciously barging into her mouth, ears, buttocks, nostrils, belly button, and even her wounds, relentlessly tearing and gnawing at her flesh.

In just a few seconds, they had gnawed her down to a skeleton, not even sparing the blood droplets in the air, swallowing them all.

— Ding, congratulations on discovering a 5-star ingredient, the "Ferocious Cannibal Zebra Fish"; the illustrated handbook for the "Ferocious Cannibal Zebra Fish" is now unlocked.

Without a second thought, Ma Lu immediately turned around and retraced his steps.

However, he had already caught the attention of those ferocious Cannibal Zebra Fish. After devouring the poor female prisoner, the glowing fish swarmed towards their next prey.

Although Ma Lu had died numerous times and gained experience, being dismembered by piranhas was absolutely not the kind of death he wanted to experience.

So, he once again adjusted the jet nozzle to max and activated mad dash mode.

Nonetheless, the speed of those small fish was not slow, almost matching his.

Ma Lu originally intended to hide in a nearby vacant house and lower the door, but he estimated that from the moment he entered the keycode to when the gate would actually close, it would take at least seven seconds.

Such a long duration was enough for these small fish to chase him inside the house, resulting in a situation akin to catching turtles in a jar, with him being the turtle.

As Ma Lu fled, he quickly pondered a strategy in his mind to hold off the ferocious Cannibal Zebra Fish.

While he was deep in thought, he unexpectedly encountered a group of familiar faces on the corridor.

The three people he had robbed of the mechanical boomerangs had finally recovered from the blinding effect of the anti-wolf spray. Although their eyes were swollen like eggs, they could finally see.

They recognized Ma Lu instantly, overjoyed, each revealing a ferocious smile, "You've got guts, kid, daring to come back!"

As they prepared to rush at him, a sharp-eyed person spotted the swarm of fish behind Ma Lu, turned pale, and exclaimed,

"Damn, it's the ferocious Cannibal Zebra Fish!" Dropping that line, he didn't bother with revenge against Ma Lu and started to run.

The other two, hearing this, also turned pale and dispersed in three different directions.

Now, it was Ma Lu's turn to be displeased, shouting loudly, "Folks, don't go!"

But the three of them paid him no heed, each running faster than the last.

Ma Lu became anxious immediately; at this distance, the anti-wolf spray would definitely be useless, so he had no choice but to pull out the Mechanical Boomerang he had just snatched.

Ma Lu hadn't had time to properly study how to use this thing, fortunately, there were only two buttons located on either side of the handle.

Ma Lu tried pressing the front button, and the next moment, the blade of the Mechanical Boomerang lit up with a blue light.

It seemed to have activated successfully, seeing this, Ma Lu immediately aimed the boomerang at one of the individuals.

Afterward, the blue light on the boomerang's blade turned red and began to flicker intensely.

Ma Lu didn't know what this meant, he tried pressing the front button again, and the red light finally stopped flashing.

Out of curiosity, Ma Lu pressed the rear button, and the red light flickered once again.

Alright, it looks like the rear should be a cancel button.

Ma Lu then pressed the front button again and simultaneously threw the mechanical dart.

He had never played darts before and was a bit worried about his accuracy.

And indeed, his worries were justified; as soon as the dart left his hand, Ma Lu knew it was off, and quite outrageously so.

But the next moment, something miraculous happened—the mechanical dart drew a strange arc in mid-air and hit the man right in the back of the neck!

Immediately after, the man's head flew off!

Ma Lu was stunned; his original intention was just to delay the man's actions, but unexpectedly, the Mechanical Boomerang suddenly deployed its wings at the last moment, extending two rows of sharp blades.

While Ma Lu was still in shock, the mechanical dart had already retracted its blades and flown back, returning to his hand.

As the name Boomerang implies, it inherently possesses the ability to be thrown out and then return.

But that's for boomerang experts; for a novice like Ma Lu, who couldn't correctly manage the angle and force, catching it on the first throw is usually very difficult.

Considering the recent precise strike on the target, the answer was quite clear.

—This Mechanical Boomerang had an integrated tracking navigation feature.

Clearly, the blinking red light was locking onto the target.

This thing is something else!

Out of the corner of his eye, Ma Lu glanced again at the mechanical dart in his hand; no wonder those three guys were fighting so fiercely over it earlier.

While contemplating, Ma Lu locked onto another person and threw the mechanical dart again.

This person also couldn't escape, despite his best efforts to dodge, and with a "pfft" sound, his head too flew off!

As for the last remaining person, he had already run off without a trace.

But Ma Lu didn't care anymore; with these two corpses as bait, he had enough to distract the ferocious Cannibal Zebra Fish chasing him.

While using the Mechanical Boomerang, Ma Lu didn't stop the jet on his feet, but because force acts mutually, every time he threw the dart forward, it propelled him further from the fish swarm.

Fortunately, he soon reached the first headless corpse. Attracted by the smell of blood, those ferocious Cannibal Zebra Fish finally abandoned their previous target and turned to devour the corpse.

Ma Lu took this opportunity to continue escaping forward, passing the second corpse, then immediately chose an empty room to dash into, input the passcode, and swiftly closed the door behind him.
