Chapter 207: Deep-Sea Changes
"Toot. ”
"Toot. ”
"Toot. ”
Changle Wharf, the island's largest distant-water fishing vessel (Rokuka), is leaving the pier backwards and heading for the blue sea after three whistles.
Captain indoors.
Zhang Tutu reported a set of data.
"The sea breeze is level seven, and the waves are three meters high. ”
Beyond assists in controlling the fishing boat, checking the various instrument panels in the wheelhouse.
"The voltage, water pressure, oil level are normal. ”
"The sonar is normal. ”
"The radio equipment is normal. ”
"The route is confirmed. ”
...
"Let's go. ”
After the data was confirmed, Chen Yang slowly pushed the bell (throttle) of the ocean-going tanker, and the maximum sailing speed of the ocean-going fishing vessel could reach 25 nautical miles in theory.
The location where the April signal disappeared was about 200 nautical miles from the island, even if it was driven at the fastest speed, it would take eight hours to reach the place of the incident, and the April had a total of 12 crew members, fortunately, the population size of the system panel, after dropping to 97, did not continue to fall, as far as the current situation is concerned, the rest of the crew is still safe.
The ocean-going fishing boat was driving on the blue sea, and during the drive, Zhang Tutu kept using wireless intercom tools and kept shouting: "This is the Liuhua, please answer when you receive the signal in April." ”
"April issue, please answer when you receive a signal. ”
“......”
Just as the fishing boat was driving for five hours, very close to the site where the April had disappeared, Chen Yang noticed that the float signal station he had placed on the surface of the sea appeared to have suffered extensive damage.
Chen Yang asked the crew to pick up a float signal station, and found that although the float was still very intact, the electronic information equipment on it was all destroyed.
After observing the bite marks, Chen Yang found that the largest tooth mark on the bite mark was fifty centimeters long, but judging from the length of the teeth, Chen Yang thought that the one who bit the float signal was very likely to be a carnivorous beast with a body size of more than 20 meters, and the April was 30 meters long, and it was indeed very dangerous if it was attacked by such a behemoth.
And right now.
The sonar display was the first to send a signal, detecting an unidentified creature about the size of the April Bulletin floating on the surface of the sea about 10 nautical miles ahead, but to everyone's surprise, the creatures were all in a motionless state as if they were dead, and there were larger fish swimming around them.
Twenty minutes later.
The ocean-going fishing boat approached these stationary creatures, but when they saw this scene, they were frightened stupid by everyone on the fishing boat, hundreds of blue whales of different sizes were lying on the sea, the blood was red for several nautical miles, the sea was densely packed with sharks, and all kinds of greedy predators, enjoying a feast.
Even people like Chaoyue and Zhang Tutu, who often go in and out of the battlefield, also showed a look of horror, what happened, hundreds of blue whales died collectively here.
Chen Yang observed the nearest blue whale, this blue whale had a fatal wound on its body, and its abdomen was like a hole opened by a sharp weapon, and the intestines and stomach inside flowed out.
At first, Chen Yang thought that it was the dragon king whale who did it, after all, in this world, the blue whale seems to be the food of the dragon king whale, but after thinking about it for a while, he immediately denied this possibility.
And the dense blue whale corpses right now are a bit too abnormal, and his conjecture was verified in a few minutes, because this group of blue whales was actually mixed with the corpses of dragon king whales.
Didn't think about this overlord-level predator.
It has also become a target for predation.
Chen Yang observed carefully for a while, and found that the wounds on the corpses of these dragon king whales were even more terrifying, the wounds extended from the abdomen to the jaw, and a huge piece of flesh was torn up, this kind of wound could not be caused by the blue whale, as if it was bitten by some sharp teeth, but in the process of struggling, it was torn apart.
Seeing this, Chen Yang took a deep breath and couldn't help but think deeply, looking at the whale carcass on the sea, he felt that this was a massacre with unequal strength, the other party was killing the blue whale and the dragon king whale, and there was no trace of eating, obviously not treating them as food.
This reminded Chen Yang of the time when he first encountered the crocodile wolfmon, which sometimes showed a tyrannical side and would kill all the other larger creatures in the territory.
And right now.
The population size of the system panel has changed again, from 97 to 95, depending on the situation, two more people were killed, Chen Yang accelerated to leave this place, the peace of more than half a year made him somewhat inflated, and let his guard down, gradually forgetting that this island does not belong to it completely, but also belongs to the "aborigines" of these islands.
The Rokka continued for more than two hours.
Finally came to the place where the April signal disappeared, it seemed to be in the wind and wave zone, more than four meters high waves, howling sea breeze, in the ups and downs of the waves, Chen Yang found some hull fragments.
After searching the debris for about an hour, and finally about thirty nautical miles away from the place where the signal disappeared, I found an upside-down fishing boat, if there was no accident, this ship should be the April.
After seeing this scene.
Everyone fell silent.
Chen Yang has seen a lot of shipwreck news, when the ship is upside down, there is still a lot of air inside, but in this case, it is almost difficult for the people trapped inside to save themselves, and can only wait until death.
Zhang Tutu, who had rescue experience, came to the bottom of the April ship and slammed a hammer on the hull of the ship, making a loud noise, hoping to determine whether there was anyone alive in the April through this interaction.
But it took a while.
Zhang Tutu did not receive any response.
Chaoyue and Zhang Tutu already had experience in underwater training, and planned to wear diving suits and go to the April to find out, but they were stopped by Chen Yang, and the April was flooded like this, even if there were still people inside, they should all be dead.
Now the population size displayed in the system panel is still 95 people, that is, at least seven crew members are still alive, Chen Yang has a hunch that Angus They can't be under the ship, if they waste time to search for the ship, the remaining seven people who are alive are also very likely to die.
"Search in the nearby seas. ”
Chen Yang made a decision, whether this decision was correct or not was directly related to the life and death of the remaining seven crew members, and just an hour later, Ou Shen seemed to fall on Chen Yang's side.
Not far from the fishing boats.
More than a dozen people wearing life jackets were holding lifebuoys, their bodies were all tied together, and they were rising and falling with the waves, and after seeing them, Chen Yang immediately lowered the lifeboats and rescued these surviving crew members.
It's a pity.
Some of the crew members have gone, but their bodies are still tied together, and it seems that the person who made this decision was Angus, who did not want the corpses of these crew members to wander on the sea, and wanted their souls to return to the island.
Most of the crew members were also in a state of extreme lack of water and weakness, Angus's entire lips were cracked, and after seeing Chen Yang, this man who was about the same size as Zhang Tutu burst into tears.
"Live well. ”
"Litz still has a baby waiting for you. ”
And at this moment, Angus said in a weak voice: "Boss... Be careful, the behemoths are still... In this vicinity, they will attack fishing boats..."
