Chapter 992: Typhoon
Zheng Beibei's tone was very anxious.
When Ning Yi thought something had happened, she told Ning Yi that the Ghost Claw Monster far away in the Marinaya Trench had begun to swim back to the shoreline.
At present, there are still about 500 nautical miles away from the Xingye.
Of course, it is a completely different direction from the Ryukyu Islands, and if you take into account the fact that the monster is also swimming in the direction of Linglan Island, the Xingye will drive over at this time, and it will probably take less than a day to meet it head-on.
What happened to this ghost-clawed monster was what Zheng Beibei and Ning Yi were most concerned about.
So as soon as he heard the news, Ning Yi did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the Xingye to turn around, go diagonally to the southeast, and drive at high speed towards the Marinaya Trench in the southeast.
As long as this ghost-claw monster is captured, some of the secrets beneath the Marinaya Trench may be solved.
Ning Yi does not believe that there is a place with only standard atmospheric pressure at a depth of more than 10,000 meters in the Marinaya Trench, which is contrary to common sense of physics.
Of course, now Ning Yi doesn't believe in physics anymore, because he himself violates physics common sense.
So, he wanted to see how these monsters hid in that place to produce against common sense.
After the Xingye turned around, it was directly facing the vast sea.
After chasing the Xingye for a while, the Red Demon Dragon on Gonghu Island finally abandoned these human demons who had destroyed their lair and flew towards the Ryukyu Islands in a stupid manner.
And then the Xingye encountered much less threat.
Except for the Spectreclaw beneath the seabed.
Those monsters made full use of their crippled talents, and relentlessly harassed the Xingye along the way.
Several times they had almost climbed onto the deck along the Skynet they had put down, but in front of a warship with nearly a hundred rich experience in slaughtering Ghostclaw. They do little to play.
The Xingye headed steadily in the direction of the Marinaya Trench.
Now the members of the Xingye have gradually adapted to this kind of voyage.
But boredom is their worst enemy.
After all, they are all a group of arrogant warriors. It's so unpleasant to huddle on a battleship with a small space all day.
But these people. Soon found a joke for entertainment.
That is the "water drifting" taught by Ning Yi, well, to be exact, it should be sea drifting.
Now that this group has encountered the Phantom Claw Monsters, if they are alone, they will simply slow down the speed of the ship and go directly to the sea, not using weapons such as Skynet and bayonet guns, but only using their war knives to deal with them.
Not to mention, after a day or two of training. There are already quite a few martial artists, especially those who have cultivated relatively high levels of green-level martial arts, and it is basically no longer a problem to go to the sea to kill the Phantom Claw Monster.
This made Ning Yi look very good.
Imagine how beautiful it would be to have a battleship come out in the future, carrying a group of warriors who can go down to the sea at any time to kill the Phantom Claw.
The Xingye will finally not be boring anymore.
Especially those who have learned to drift on the sea, now they simply go to the sea to chase the Xingye Clan.
So, if someone is looking from a distance, they will see a picture that will definitely leave them stunned.
A huge battleship on the side. There are dozens of human beings who do not rely on any assistance, chasing each other on the surface of the sea as if they were walking on the ground.
This is a special group of Godmen.
In this way, in this atmosphere, Xingye soon stepped into the vast night again.
It was their second night after sailing.
According to the signal display. At this time, it was probably less than a hundred nautical miles away from the Spectreclaw monster they were about to capture.
The Xingye is also far from the coastline, about 700 nautical miles.
In other words, it is almost 1,300 kilometers away from Beiling Port. At such a distance, if there is really something wrong with the Xingye. The family can't save them.
Everything can only be done on your own.
So although the atmosphere was relaxed, it was night. Everyone was still vigilant.
You know, if something goes wrong now, even if a fighter flies over, it will take a long time, not to mention, the distance of more than 1,000 kilometers has already exceeded the combat radius of some second-generation fighters.
Fortunately, there were no surprises.
The battleship slowed down, cruising at eighteen knots towards the sea where the Spectre was cruising.
If nothing else, in about four hours, you'll be able to meet the claw monster head-on.
The Ghost's signal was received by the long-wave signal station on the coast and relayed to the Xingye, so now the Xingye could also monitor the monster's coordinates.
At the moment, the monster appears to be unusual, and is swimming towards Linglan Island at a speed of about five knots per hour, which is similar to that of a human walking.
It also conforms to the habits of the Ghost Claw.
After monitoring for an hour and seeing that there was no problem, Ning Yi decided to go and rest first.
When I actually meet it, it will take three hours, and then I will be busy.
However, Ning Yi slept for less than an hour before he was woken up.
It turned out that something was going on.
One is that the monster suddenly changed direction, turned around and accelerated to swim back in the direction of the Marinaya Trench, so now it became Xingye chasing, and the distance between the two was almost more than 80 nautical miles.
Of course, the Xingye is faster than it can swim back, so there's no problem catching up.
But the point is, according to the information sent by the group, there is a storm more than 100 nautical miles ahead of them, and there is a typhoon nearby that is forming and moving to the northwest.
If the Xingye continued to move forward, even if it caught up with the Ghostclaw, it would collide head-on with the storm and the typhoon.
So, now it's a dilemma.
I was about to catch the ghostclaw, but I encountered this kind of weather.
Ning Yi looked at Jiang Yu and was silent for a long time.
"The modified design of the Xingye can theoretically resist level 8 sea conditions, but of course. If you do, you don't know what the situation is. ”
"Rank 8 sea state?" Ning Yi didn't understand what this meant for a while.
Jiang Yu hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry. Category 8 sea state means about 12 winds, which is a hurricane. I just received information that this time the center of the typhoon may be as high as a 14-level typhoon, but we will only hit the edge of the typhoon, so the wind will not be so strong, but it is estimated that there will be about 6, or even higher. ”
"What's the worst-case scenario?"
"If the typhoon turns suddenly, we could be swept up in it." Jiang Yu said, but he immediately changed his words, "But this situation is actually very difficult to encounter." ”
"Is there a safer way?"
Jiang Yu stared at the chart for a while. said: "Yes, yes, but it may be a waste of time." ”
"Huh? How so? ”
Jiang Yu stretched out his hand and pointed to the HNA map and said: "At present, the monster is in this direction, about more than eighty nautical miles away from us, according to the cruising direction of this ghostly claw monster, it is swimming towards the vicinity of the typhoon circle, if we follow the past, we may fall into the typhoon circle, we can ignore it for now, go around in a big circle." Bypassing the center of the typhoon, waiting for it at the other end, and then chasing it, we would waste a day at best. As long as the semaple is on it, it can't run away. ”
"Okay, just do as you say. Let's be on the safe side. Ning Yi finally chose to be safe, anyway, there is still more time. There's no need to take that risk.
Under Jiang Yu's order, the Xingye quickly turned around. Get out of the typhoon circle.
Prepare to make a big circle and go in front of the clawed monster to stop it.
By this time, the sky had begun to rain lightly.
Looking into the distance, you can already faintly see signs of lightning and thunder.
Even though it was night and far apart, the unobstructed clouds were still very clear, black and pressed like a disk of ink.
Fortunately, Xingye chose to avoid it in time.
But even so, the edge of the typhoon still affected Xingye.
Not long after, the raindrops the size of beans fell on the Xingye like a downpour.
Then the wind gradually became stronger, and the waves gradually became more and more turbulent, and Ning Yi could clearly feel the whole ship undulating and shaking.
Although the full displacement is close to 5,000 tons, the Xingye is still extremely fragile in the vast sea.
The piled up waves smashed on the deck one by one, making Ning Yi feel as if the Xingye was about to be swallowed up by the waves in the next moment.
But Jiang Yu told Ning Yi on the side that this was just a small storm, and the real test had not yet come.
The group of warriors who were still coaxing a few hours ago are now becoming disparate one by one.
Many people couldn't sleep at all, and they got up to see what was going on.
Then they were quickly shaken to the point of throwing up.
Not only them, but even Ning Yi himself was guilty of evil for a while, which was probably the real seasickness.
However, this is only the beginning, according to Jiang Yu, it is now the appearance of four or five level wind and waves, and now they are trying to cross the edge area of the typhoon, and they will soon encounter even greater wind and waves.
Sure enough, it didn't take long.
A greater shake of the battleship came.
Under the lapping of the wind and waves, the battleship swayed from side to side for more than 20 degrees, and many warriors on the battleship who were not very familiar with water changed from a vegetable to a bitter face, and everyone had to grab something that could be dragged by their side and stick to it.
One by one, the waves smashed directly in front of the battleship, and the huge waves slammed onto the deck, and in an instant the waves disappeared, leaving only a pile of water.
And the whole battleship slammed down as if it had plunged into the water all at once.
Then a huge wave came over, and the battleship jumped up and back into the air, and so on and so on, and the Xingye was like a roller coaster without a seatbelt.
Not to mention Ning Yi and other people who have not lived at sea for long, even these old sailors and crew members on the battleship are all frightened.
This scene is much more terrifying than the attack of the Spectral Monsters.
At least the Talon thing is controllable, but the wind and waves are completely uncontrollable.
But that's not the worst of it.
Suddenly, one of the observers on the bridge shouted, "Talon"
Everyone was stunned, and before they could hear clearly, Ning Yi saw first that on the foredeck, with a wave coming, a swarthy ghostly claw monster jumped onto the foredeck with the wave.
It's really a dog, Ning Yi almost forgot that there are still these monsters in this sea.
After the ghost claw monster reached the deck, with its massive body and the sharpness of its hook claws, it took advantage of the situation and rushed towards the bridge.
Rather they watched, but there was nothing they could do.
In such a turbulent situation, people can't stand still, let alone run out to meet the Phantom Claw Monster.
And once you get to the deck, you may be carried directly to the sea by the strong wind, although many people have learned to drift at sea, but in this case, let alone drifting at sea, they can't even swim in the sea.
Once they fall into the sea, except for Ning Yi, a monster who can defy the sky, everyone else can only feed the fish.
But you can't do anything.
Then the second Ghost Claw Monster was thrown up again, and these monsters seemed to enjoy the stormy waves, and the two monsters on the battleship were obviously extremely active.
They are large, have a more stable center of gravity than humans, and have sharp claws, and have lived in the sea for a long time, so they are still agile when they get on a warship.
Soon, one of the phantacon monsters should have smelled that there were more humans on this side of the bridge, so they rushed straight towards the bridge.
"Bang!" The huge hook pliers smashed into the side hatch of the bridge at once.
The deafening crash smashed like a hammer into the eardrums of everyone on the bridge.
Those warriors were fine, but Jiang Yu and some ordinary seafarers were so frightened that the whole nerves tensed.
Fortunately, both the hatch and the observation window of the bridge are designed with high strength, especially those bulkheads in the bow, which are even strong enough to resist the Red Demon Dragon's beast roar, so the attack of the Phantom Claw Monster is not too serious.
It's just that if you blindly don't resist, no matter how awesome the protection is, there will be a day when it will be breached.
Soon, another ghostclaw monster climbed up the waves.
Not long after, a hurried phone call came.
Jiang Yu picked up the walkie-talkie and made a call, only to know that the back deck had been occupied by five or six ghost-claw monsters, and they were attacking the helicopter hatch.
The helicopter hatch is fragile compared to other parts, but it is also deliberately thickened, so it is not so easy for the Ghost Claw to break down.
But there is no doubt that the situation has begun to be critical.
Ning Yi just wanted to make a move, but saw Yang Yu, who was dressed in battle armor, rushing in.
"Why are you here?" Ning Yi asked loudly while dragging the pillar on the side.
"We've found a claw monster in the back, and we'll have to figure it out."
Ning Yi thought about it, and at the moment, only Yang Yushui was better, and her cultivation was high enough, so she nodded and said, "You go to the back deck to prevent those monsters from rushing into the helicopter cabin, and I'll be in charge of the front." ”
Yang Yu nodded.
The two were just about to act, but Chen Bin rushed over, holding a satellite phone in his hand. (To be continued......)
