Chapter 311 - 272: Underwater Fiend
Hearing the voice, Lin Lang looked up at the little girl on the boat.
She was dressed in simple but clean fisherman’s clothes, her hair simply tied at the back of her head, with an innocent and unpretentious look on her face.
Her eyes were bright and lively, revealing a clever spirit—
[Jin Xiaoyu]
[Appearance: 8 points]
[Recharge: 0 times]
[Loyalty: 10%]
[Return Multiplier: 100]
[Combat Power: C]
[Ability: Spirit Water (Level 3)]
After checking the girl’s information, Lin Lang smiled and responded:
"No need to worry, little girl, I’m just hungry and want to grill a fish to eat."
The little girl got anxious and shouted loudly on the boat:
"Why are you so disobedient! The Fierce Beasts here are really fierce! Hurry up and come on the boat, otherwise, if more powerful beasts come later, you’ll be in danger!"
"This... alright!"
Seeing her so earnest, Lin Lang couldn’t refuse.
He lightly leaped and landed on the little girl’s boat.
The little girl was surprised to see Lin Lang get on the boat so easily:
"You jumped so far! Can you do light-footed skills?"
Lin Lang smiled and honestly said:
"I can even fly!"
"Bragger! No one can fly!"
The little girl obviously didn’t believe him!
But she quickly asked enthusiastically:
"Where are you from? What are you doing here?"
Lin Lang casually replied:
"My home is not far from here, just came to find something..."
His gaze swept over and found some freshly caught big fish on the boat, lying there lively.
It seems this little girl was just an ordinary fisherwoman before the apocalypse, and now she can still make a living from fishing.
"What’s your name?"
He looked at the kind-hearted little girl before him.
"My name is Jin Xiaoyu, but everyone calls me Little Goldfish."
"Little Goldfish?"
Lin Lang smiled slightly and decided to call her that as well.
Then he casually chatted with Little Goldfish.
...
"If you have nowhere to go, come rest at my place for a while!"
"Okay."
Little Goldfish rowed the boat, taking Lin Lang to her home.
Along the way, Lin Lang chatted with Little Goldfish while secretly extending his Divine Sense.
This probing made him quietly shocked—
The surrounding waters actually hid many Fierce Beasts!
And those beasts were incredibly large!
Some looked like small boats, lurking underwater, occasionally showing a trace, exuding a cold and fierce aura that could be felt from afar!
It was as if the water was their territory, not allowing others to intrude.
The key is!
The Fierce Beasts in the water, whether in number or combat power, far exceeded those on land!
...
Finally!
The boat slowly reached the shore, arriving at the destination.
It was a small fishing village.
"I’m back!"
Little Goldfish docked the boat, jumped ashore, and tied the boat’s rope to a wooden stake by the shore.
Lin Lang followed and jumped ashore as well.
...
"Little Goldfish is back!"
"Was it smooth today?"
Responding to Little Goldfish were some old voices.
...
Lin Lang and Little Goldfish walked into their residence.
It was a very simple house, but quite large.
Once inside!
He found out it was mostly inhabited by elderly people!
And they seemed to have difficulty in movement!
Yet, their faces were marked by the years, eyes showing peace and kindness after enduring many hardships.
Lin Lang was a bit surprised,
"Hey, can you help me clean the fish?"
At this time, Little Goldfish asked Lin Lang to help clean the big fish caught today.
"Okay."
Lin Lang went over and helped her clean without any distaste.
Little Goldfish was very skilled and her hands were deft.
Lin Lang mimicked her actions, moving swiftly.
During the process,
Lin Lang inquired about the situation here from Little Goldfish.
And learned—
These were all the empty-nest elderly in the fishing village, relying entirely on Little Goldfish for care.
She went out every day looking for food, never complaining no matter how hard it was.
Moreover, she was exceptionally kind, frequently rescuing those lost and in distress!
In this doomsday world where everyone was afraid for themselves!
She was practically an angel!
...
Later during their conversation, Lin Lang also found out—
The fishing village had originally stored some supplies.
With those supplies, life was difficult, but they could barely sustain themselves.
However, later, the supplies were swindled away by some people!
And those people were ones Little Goldfish rescued to the village!
In the end, when they left, they secretly took all the village’s supplies!
By the time Little Goldfish realized, those people had already vanished.
Hearing this, Lin Lang couldn’t help but frown slightly:
"Those people repaid kindness with betrayal!"
But despite such an incident, Little Goldfish didn’t change her kind heart!
She still did her best to help others.
This made Lin Lang feel more admiration for this little girl.
...
"Alright! Time to eat!"
Little Goldfish cleaned the big fish and cooked them in the kitchen!
Soon!
The food was served on the table.
Mostly simple cooked fish and some water vegetables.
But Lin Lang didn’t mind at all, instead eating with great relish.
Chatting and laughing with the elders, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
And the elders, looking at Lin Lang, thought this young man was pretty nice and humble, and they liked him a lot.
Some even said:
"This young man and Little Goldfish are quite a match!"
Hearing this, Little Goldfish looked helpless:
