Zhao Changlan's head became more and more dizzy, and his mind gradually became a little blurred, but he still used his last strength to mechanically cut the huge tentacles of the king squid. He didn't close his eyes until he confirmed that he had severed all of the king's tentacles.
After all the ten tentacles of the king squid were cut off by Zhao's spear, they also lost their last vitality, and their bodies slowly fell into the depths of the Pacific Ocean. At this time, Zhao Changlan's left hand was still stuck in the eye socket of the king squid, and it did not let go. Therefore, Zhao's spear, who was already unconscious, also slowly fell towards the depths of the ocean with the body of the king squid
On the deck of the freighter "Queen".
The five brothers of the Poison Dragon Society were quickly dragged into the dark sea by the huge tentacles, and the other brothers had no time to rescue, so they could only watch as they were about to be swallowed by the sea.
Although none of the five shouted for help, their desperate eyes revealed their nostalgia for life.
But just as the first brother had already touched the surface of the sea, he suddenly felt the tremendous pulling force of the tentacles wrapped around his body suddenly disappear, and his body no longer continued to slide towards the surface of the sea.
At the same time, the other four people were aware of the same thing. The five quickly shook off the huge tentacles wrapped around them, and then crawled to the safety of the deck.
Seeing that the five brothers had finally escaped, the brothers on the boat couldn't help but let out a burst of cheers. But the general manager did not cheer, he already keenly felt that the rescue of the five brothers must be related to the gun brother underwater!
"Don't shout! Go get the wetsuit and save the gun!" shouted at the few little brothers around him.
Although the general manager realized that the underwater gun brother might have been in danger and the situation was critical, the deputy gang leader of the Poison Dragon Society, the general manager, was still very awake and insisted on changing into a diving suit before entering the water. Because he knew very well that they would not be able to dive too deep in the sea without changing into a wetsuit, and it was now night, plus the water had also become jet black, and without borrowing the diving searchlight on the head of the wetsuit, it would be impossible for them to find Brother Gun. At that time, not only will it not be able to save Brother Gun, but it will delay the time to rescue Brother Gun.
The only three sets of wetsuits left on the "Queen" were quickly taken over, and the three people, Zhao Yushan, and the doctor, changed two of them, turned on the diving searchlight above their heads, and then jumped into the dark sea water.
After the three of them entered the water, they quickly dived according to the expected direction. At this time, the ink spewed out by the king squid had been gradually diluted by the seawater, and their vision had become much wider.
Instead of staying in shallow water, the group quickly dived into deep water. They put on these wetsuits on the ship. But he always believed that the other Poison Dragon Brothers would definitely not die on deck, and they would definitely go into the water to look for them. They didn't have wetsuits, and the shallow water search was left to them.
The general judgment saved Zhao Changlan's life.
They dived quickly and soon found the traces of Zhao Changshu.
The ten tentacles of the king squid were all cut off by Zhao Changlance, and his two eyes were also blind, although he was dying, but he did not die, and his body would occasionally struggle.
It was the occasional struggle of the huge creature that not only did it not move too far away from the Queen's freighter with the current, but it also sank very slowly in the water.
Therefore, after quickly diving, the total number of people finally found the huge king squid after sinking more than a hundred meters, but they did not find the Zhao spear on the top of the king squid's head.
It's no wonder that Zhao Lance's body is really insignificant compared to the huge King Squid, and the light in the sea is very dark, so it is indeed difficult for them to find Zhao Spear.
However, although they didn't notice Zhao Changlan, they still quickly swam towards the king squid more than ten meters away from them. Because they had already concluded that Brother Gun must have been fighting with some monster underwater just now, and the huge King Squid looked like a monster at first glance, so they wanted to find clues about Brother Gun from the monster not far away, and whether they would encounter danger was no longer within their scope of consideration.
As soon as they got close to the king squid, they spotted the spear on top of the king squid's head. When they saw that the king squid was still bubbling out of the base of its tentacles with dark green liquid, and the two bulging eye sockets that had lost their eyeballs, they felt extremely shocked in their hearts. They instantly understood what kind of fierce fight Brother Gun had with this monster just now. And it was Brother Gun's desperate fight that saved the "Queen" from being pulled into the bottom of the Pacific Ocean by this ghost, and also saved the lives of the brothers on the boat, and directly saved the lives of the five brothers.
The three of them tried to carry Zhao's spear off the king squid's body, but they found that until this time, Brother Gun's hand was still holding the eye socket of the king squid, and his five fingers were deeply inserted into the flesh of the king squid.
The three of them had to wave the paratrooper knife in their hands and cut off the king squid's bulging eye sockets together, and finally separated the gun brother and the king squid.
To their relief, they found that the oxygen cylinder on Brother Gun's back was still there, and the diving helmet was intact, constantly splashing out. This shows that Brother Gun is still breathing, and now he is just unconscious.
Zhao Yushan carried Zhao's spear on his back, and then the three of them quickly rose towards the water together. When they ascended to the shallow water, they found that more than a dozen brothers were constantly looking for Zhao Lance in the shallow water.
Zhao Yushan, who was carrying Zhao's spear, nodded, and motioned for him to get on the boat first, and then he and the doctor began to search for the brothers who were diving and searching one by one, informing them that the gun brother had been found, and let them return to the ship.
After tossing for more than half an hour, everyone returned to the ship, but what worried everyone was that Zhao Changshu never woke up. Fortunately, the doctor was originally a real surgeon, and after a careful examination of Zhao Changshu's body, he determined that Zhao Changshu was in a coma due to extreme fatigue and the invasion of toxins with anesthetic effects. The ship is equipped with the commonly used anti-inflammatory drug cefradine, as long as you give Brother Gun a drip on time, you should be able to wake up quickly.
Zhao Changshu was unconscious, and the heavy responsibility of commanding the "Queen" fell on the shoulders of the first mate. The first mate immediately ordered everyone to drain the seawater from the damaged tank, and at the same time discharge the seawater filled with the ballast tank. The cabins on both sides of the hull must be drained at the same time, otherwise the hull will tilt again.
While draining the water, the first mate personally took the helm and slowly bypassed the "Gate of Hell" sea area, they must leave this ghost place as soon as possible, it is too dangerous here, it is a hurricane, and it is a water monster, and the ghost knows what danger they will encounter in the next moment.
As the water from the ballast tanks and the damaged tanks continued to be discharged, the waterline of the "Queen" gradually rose, and when the water in the two tanks was drained, the "Queen" finally returned to its original state, and everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.
Since the outboard repair of the Zhao lance was only temporary, when the water in the damaged cabin was completely drained, the chief engineer found a thick steel plate and re-welded the damaged part from the inside.
Perhaps it was the fighting spirit of the people that touched God, and when the "Queen" returned to normal, they were never in any danger again. Even the sinister "Gates of Hell" have become much more docile.
A day later, Zhao Changshu finally woke up, and the first thing he said when he opened his eyes was, "Are you okay brothers?"
"It's okay! It's okay! The brothers are all right!" Zhao Yushan, who had been accompanying Zhao Changlan, saw that Brother Gun had finally woken up, and he opened his mouth excitedly and smiled, and was stunned for a long time before he remembered to go out and inform the other brothers.
The brothers who got the news all rushed into Zhao Changlan's room, and those who couldn't squeeze in stood in the corridor, chattering and asking "Is Brother Gun okay, how does Brother Gun feel?" and so on.
Although there is no nutrition, it expresses their inner concern for Brother Gun.
Zhao Changshu sat up from the bed and said to everyone: "Don't worry, I'm fine, let everyone worry." If we don't die, we will be blessed, and what will greet us next must be a pleasant journey!"
There was a cheer from the crowd. Since leaving Huaguo, they have encountered too many things, they are pirates, and they are American soldiers, and they have been face to face with death several times, and at this moment, they are very happy to hear Brother Gun say to them that there is no danger in the future.
The general manager had already instructed the kitchen to prepare porridge and soup for Brother Gun. After eating, Zhao Changshu was in much better spirits, and came to the deck surrounded by his brothers.
At this time, they have bypassed the "Gate of Hell" sea area, there is no wind and waves in the Pacific Ocean, a vast expanse of blue sky, flocks of seabirds are constantly circling and flying in the sky, and the warm sun shines on people, making people feel extremely comfortable.
Seeing that the anti-aircraft guns fixed on the deck had not been dismantled, Zhao Changshu said to the general: "Let the brothers dismantle these anti-aircraft guns and send them back into the cabin." ”
The general was stunned, these anti-aircraft guns are their most advantageous weapons against aircraft, and they are also their only weapon against aircraft, Zhao Changshu is now suddenly asked the brothers to dismantle it, is it true that the fighters of country M will not trouble them anymore?
Not only did he always have this kind of worry, but the other brothers also had it, so they all looked at Zhao Changshu with puzzled eyes.
Zhao Changshu saw everyone's doubts, so he said: "Don't worry, everyone, we are now far away from the Pacific Fleet of country M, and now even if they can find our whereabouts, they will not run long distances to destroy one of our small freighters." What we need to consider now is how to break through the blockade of country M on the periphery of Pico Island and enter the kingdom of Pique. ”
At this time, a junior brother suddenly interjected on the side: "Brother gun, doesn't country M have long-range missiles? Will they bombard us with long-range missiles?"
Zhao Changshu smiled and said: "Long-range missiles are strategic weapons, and China is not inferior to country M in strategic weapons. If they want to hit us with long-range missiles, they also have to think about the consequences. ”
"But now that country M has completely blockaded Pico Island, any ship entering Pico Kingdom must be inspected by them. In the end, we will not be able to escape a direct conflict with country M? I think that at that time, even China will not openly stand up and support us. Mr. Jiang said with a sudden frown.
