Chapter 45: Rescue in Distress
Cayman Brac Island, which is composed of mountain cliffs and sea stones, can vaguely see a little sparkling fire. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is not a firework ignited by the needs of human life and production, and on this island rich in special resources, there is no need for that primitive energy conversion method.
The flames contained devastating power, ignited by cannonballs fired from the depths of the ocean in the distance.
Timber and other combustibles piled up in the open space also became a source of flames due to the sudden disaster. The original rudimentary house was also burned, collapsed and completely destroyed by the fireworks.
After a long time, the deep sea stopped projecting artillery fire into the small harbor, and everything fell silent.
A young girl who leans on the rocks to hide her body, her clothes are stained with dirt and dust, and there are faint traces of blood. The yellow-brown soil beneath the girl had an ominous black, and the scars on her body could be seen through the girl's white clothes. Such hemorrhage and injuries would have made them faint if they were replaced by ordinary humans, but for the shipwives who rely on the radiant core, this injury is nothing.
She didn't care about her injured body, and squeezed the little spiritual power she had left, and used the ship's outfit to explore and confirm.
As she expected, it was a deep-sea cruiser loitering in the distance that had just shelled the harbor. In front of it, there was an inconsistent deep-sea cruiser that seemed to be on a mission.
If the opponent only has these two deep seas, the girls trapped in the harbor will not be too afraid, and they can still be eliminated with the strength of everyone.
But this is not just the battle between these two deep seas, there is a powerful and breathtaking sense of oppression in the gloomy canopy that makes people have to think carefully.
The girl turned her head to look at the huge crater that was 5 meters wide, and a chill rose in her heart. She had indeed seen the same formation of Zhongshan City using six naval guns to easily destroy the deep sea, and she was also extremely envious of her ability to easily solve the deep sea.
But when such a fierce artillery fire came at them, all she could see was the cold meaning of death in the blazing artillery fire.
Even though she relied on her speed far beyond normal human speed to avoid heavy artillery bombardment, the ensuing shock wave and flames forced her to use a layer of radiant energy for protection. However, such meticulous defense still caused the ship's equipment to be damaged again.
The suffocating and terrifying fire didn't last long, and as she led the rest of the girls back inside the harbor, the roar and crackling that seemed to crack the pavilion suddenly stopped.
Lacking heavy fire support, the girl has no choice but to wander in the deep sea outside the minefield. What made them even more anxious was that the deep-sea cruiser, which had always looked strange, was slowly disarming the mines arranged in the channel.
If the minefield is breached by the deep sea, then the girls can only continue to retreat until there is no way to escape.
As the dull underwater explosion sounded, several girls hidden in the rocks became more and more aware of the imminent crisis.
Thinking back to the terrifying power and cruel and murderous nature of the deep sea, a crazy thought rose in the heart of the injured girl in the white corset.
"I'm going to lay mines." At this moment, the terrible situation of relying on mines to temporarily resist the deep-sea offensive forced this blonde girl with a beautiful face to make such a decision.
"Phoebe! I won't let you go! It's too dangerous, you alone can't avoid the gunfire and ...... mine-laying at the same time," came the young man's eager thoughts in the mental network, but the girl seemed to turn a deaf ear.
"Sister Phoebe, you're already in a broken state...... It's ...... too risky," and even the more peaceful tide began to admonish her.
At this moment, it was Shio, Phoebe, and Tama who were guarding the harbor, and they all leaned behind the cliff to avoid the shelling of the deep sea.
The girl called Phoebe slowly mobilized the power in the host, and due to the slight damage to the core, it was unable to produce well, which made the girl's mood more and more cold.
Falling into a state of middle breaking, coupled with the implication of the shock wave just now, the girl has fallen into a dangerous situation where her core is damaged.
But she didn't care much about her state, or she couldn't care about it in this terrible situation. The shipwives who have gone through many tests and have rich combat experience have not only skillful combat skills, but also the determination to move forward.
"Phoebe, wait a little longer...... As long as it ...... until the reinforcements arrive", the young man in the mine, after seeing that Phoebe did not act, turned to gentle persuasion to make the girl give up the idea just now.
Although he was also extremely anxious, he could not show it, he had already sent a message to the port of Georgetown asking for help through the contact with the mountain city, but so far he had not seen the arrival of reinforcements.
In the past two hours, it would have taken at least three hours for even a higher-speed formation to reach Braque, a hundred and fifty kilometers from the port of Georgetown.
The only thing he could do now was to pray that they would get here soon, after all, the garrison on Blake Island was no longer enough to withstand further attacks from the deep sea......
Bumper! Bumper! The dull underwater crackling sound sounded one after another, making the girls' faces more anxious.
The reason why they have been able to hold out until this moment is because of the merits of those mines, but they can only defend and cannot continue to replenish the mines, making their last line of defense more and more fragile.
This is not Cristobal, but a small port in the Cayman Islands, and it is impossible for high-energy weapons to deal with the deep sea here, and only the mines laid by the shipwives can make it survive the wind and rain unharmed.
Phoebe, who was hiding behind the rocks, heard the sound of water explosion becoming clearer, and her body trembled slightly.
The instinct for survival told her to get out of this dangerous area quickly, or else she would not be able to escape until the mine net was breached.
But she couldn't, she had her companions by her side, and her admirals farther away. Whether it is the good memories of the past or the bonds with others, the real and heavy past makes her unable to let go of these.
At one point she could not save her companions, she could only watch her die; And recently, she can't see this happen anymore, even at an unbearable price.
After wiping the cold sweat from her forehead and suppressing the fear in her heart, Phoebe, who was aiming at the right time, suddenly rose up. She drove the main engine with all her strength and forcibly overloaded, and at this moment her speed was no longer affected by the break and returned to normal.
"Phoebe!" The young man who noticed this scene through anomalous perception seemed to say something, but she didn't mean to listen to it when she blocked the link for the time being.
The sudden change not only stunned the other two girls, but also made the deep sea, which was still removing mines, turn its attention to Phoebe who had just appeared.
Taking advantage of the short distraction in the deep sea, Phoebe, who had just broken out, did not hesitate to launch the torpedo mounted on her waist. In the few minutes she had thought of everything, doing everything she could to buy her teammates more time.
Engaging in melee combat with the deep sea in this small harbor is a very dangerous thing, and any shipwreck will be reminded of the great risk of melee combat when they first learn to fight. But the battle-hardened Phoebe naturally knows the benefits behind the huge risks of hand-to-hand combat.
Three torpedoes were thrown out by her with precision and hit the bathyscapher. Torpedoes are powerful enough to sink a deep-sea cruiser of the same caliber at close range, even threatening a deep-sea battleship, but in most cases their range is too short.
A violent explosion came as the water curtain was lifted, and Phoebe did not hesitate to unleash mines behind her.
She was about to deal with the deep-sea cruiser that could crack mines first, and then find a way to make up for the loopholes caused by the destruction of the previous minefield.
"Phoebe-senpai!" , The tide of long-term mine-laying tasks naturally realized the intention of Phoebe's series of actions just now, so he became more anxious.
Unable to hold back any longer, she and Tama not far away rushed out of the bunker and headed towards the channel where Phoebe was.
Bang!
The roar of the ship's guns rang out, and the deep-sea heavy cruiser that was still hovering in the distance quickly aimed its guns at her after determining Phoebe's position.
The dark muzzle of the cannon contains a cold killing machine, and the girl who consumed too much energy in a series of actions just now is also a little unable to support it at this moment.
And at this moment, the tide that quickly came to her side with the main engine overload pulled her away from this shelling.
Chao's long dark blue hair flew in the air, and she didn't have the heart to bother with Phoebe at the moment. Now the only thing the two of them have to think about is how to get out of here.
"Tide! Lightning Meow! Tama, who was chasing after him, threw all the torpedoes in one go, and at the same time reminded Shio, who was about to leave.
A total of seventeen torpedoes fanned out towards the deep sea not far away. In a narrow sea area, the artillery of both sides will be more accurate, but it will also make the torpedo attack more ferocious.
And taking advantage of this opportunity, when the three shipwresses who suddenly broke out were about to return to the port from a safe channel, the sudden sound of shelling from behind made the girls' hearts gradually cold.
Even if they didn't turn to look, the vague sense generated by the spiritual power also let them know that another deep sea had appeared.
"They have been anchored in Cayman, not far away...... I miscalculated ......", Phoebe, who had dodged the last shelling, was extremely pale at the moment, and even her voice was much weaker.
"Tide! Take Phoebe's seniors back to meow first! Tama urged Tama, who was constantly changing course to avoid being locked on by deep-sea fire.
"We can't escape the ......", even the tide who is also quite experienced, when he looks at the deep sea behind him that wantonly shows his strength, he is invisibly a little less confident.
"You shouldn't have come out ......," said the girl, who had damaged the radiation core and forcibly overloaded the mainframe, with some regret.
Originally, she only planned to bear this kind of predicament by herself, but the appearance of Chao and Tama made her breathe for a while, but it also pulled the two girls into the water.
As the deep sea continued to be targeted and shelled, the damage to the trio's armor became more and more serious, and Phoebe's condition was so bad that she could no longer speak.
itself fell into a state of great destruction, and coupled with the accumulation of damage from the damage of the ship's armor, Phoebe was a little unable to support it at this moment.
I can't hold it anymore...... The girl felt the core of the increasingly difficult to contribute, and seemed to have lost the luxury of living.
"Phoebe-senpai! Something seems to be flying over! Tama, who was dragging his injured body forward at high speed, sensed the arrival of something through the air electric detector on board.
"Flying here?" Phoebe, who was in a very bad state, could no longer use the radar system, and only relied on her ears to hear a low roar from far away.
Bang! A loud popping sound rang out behind them, but it wasn't caused by the shelling of the deep sea.
The dazzling light of the fire illuminated the gloomy sky, and the sudden blow falling from the sky forced the two deep seas that were originally about to pursue Phoebe and the others to maneuver to avoid it.
And at this moment, the spiritual link that was forcibly severed also came out of the urging voice of young people: "Tide, Tama! Bring Phoebe back! Friendly air support doesn't last long. ”
"Friendly troops...... Are they still guarding the town? For the first time, Chao thought of the strange ship girls who had recently come to Georgetown's town guard, and she remembered that there seemed to be a relatively rare aircraft carrier ship girl among them.
"Mr. Admiral, shall we try to improve the mine defense zone? The deep sea had already destroyed some of it......", and holding back the discomfort caused by the damage to the core, Phoebe proposed a very important task.
"Okay, you guys set it up as soon as possible...... I'll keep in touch with them in a timely manner, and the support from friends is limited...... We're going to have to do it for a while. Although the young man's words were still filled with urgency, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after surviving this most dangerous period.
"Phoebe-senpai, please go back first, this place is guarded by me and Tama ." , Tide said to Phoebe, who was not far away, as he was about to fill the mines.
"The damage to the console is too bad...... I can only go with you. The damage to the radiant core has seriously affected Phoebe's abilities in all aspects, and at this moment she can only wait for Chao and Tama to complete their tasks and then go back together.
At this moment, several carrier-based aircraft still hovering above everyone's heads are constantly circling and maintaining a deterrent to the deep sea. Whenever the deep sea tries to break into a narrow waterway, carrier-based aircraft in mid-air drop one or two powerful aerial bombs to force it to retreat.
Perhaps, without their rescue, he would have sunk to the bottom of the sea, right?
Thinking like this, Phoebe couldn't help but feel a little luck in her heart. But if there is no rescue, she will still unswervingly make the previous action, even if she will fall into a desperate situation, she will face it calmly.
