Even in times of peace, the ocean's mystery and power remained beyond human exploration.
Not to mention after the apocalypse, when all creatures had mutated.
This made human exploration of the ocean unprecedentedly difficult.
Even a tiny ant could evolve to possess terrifying strength, capable of consuming iron and stone.
Imagine the powerful sharks and massive whales in the ocean.
If these giants mutated, their strength would be absolutely irresistible to humans.
Most importantly, humans cannot survive underwater.
Their combat effectiveness in such an environment is nearly zero.
So now, people could only prevent ocean creatures from evolving and advancing towards land.
They worried that if one day ocean creatures evolved to live on land.
Then the world's power dynamics would shift in favor of marine life.
