Chapter 80 Invasive Species
Li Sanhe's ability to fight alone is not weak, so if he can be helpless or even feel a headache, then the enemy must be a group, or he can't start.
Yu Liang said that it is no wonder that he can't see the following, in fact, it also stems from this.
A few meters below the surface of the water, the things that were hidden in front of his eyes were black, he thought it was algae in Taihu Lake, but later he thought it might be because of magic or spiritual power, but he didn't think it looked like it.
And the reason why Lin Xiao and Meng Ran felt hungry was because the high temperature generated by the laser cannon baked those things instantly.
The smell was spreading, and it did make the team members who hadn't tasted this delicious taste in a while.
Not only did the laser cannon evaporate the water on the surface of the lake in an instant, but it also pierced through the surface of the lake and hit the animals that were constantly moving and crawling together.
And those animals also revealed the true face of Lushan under the scattering of the laser.
Lobsters, crayfish, endless crayfish.
They rub against each other in a crowd underwater, looking like a black cloud floating in the lake.
Everywhere the laser cannon went, all the crayfish were instantly evaporated into smoke, leaving an extremely regular and terrifying cylindrical hole, but it was filled with other crayfish in the blink of an eye.
Even around the laser cannon, dozens of them were instantly roasted, and although they were also drowned out by other crayfish, the fragrance wafted out.
"Were there crayfish in ancient times?" Lin Xiao swallowed his saliva.
"Before we figure out whether to be spicy or steamed, we now have to think more about how we can not be scuttled through our boat by these crayfish." Qi Zhen said at this time.
Everyone suddenly realized, and finally understood where the dense knocking sound came from.
These crayfish, which can only be slaughtered at will as river fresh, actually want to swallow everyone in turn!
Qi Zhen was silently calculating the combat ability of his team.
Then he couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
Lin Xiao, Li San, and Meng Ran were completely useless in this battle.
Not to mention yourself.
Do you want to cast illusions on this group of crayfish yourself?
Li Qiang's heavy weapon, in addition to the laser cannon, can also exert obvious lethality, and the others are only afraid that the effect is limited.
At this moment, Meng Ran was releasing a blizzard below, but he couldn't penetrate the lake at all and cause any substantial damage to those crayfish a few meters below.
So she switched to shooting down with ice arrows.
The penetration power of the ice arrow is much stronger than that of the blizzard, and it can indeed cause some damage to those crayfish, and the most important thing is that the slowing effect of the ice arrow has a very gratifying effect on these crayfish.
Seeing this, Yu Liang did not hesitate to throw his frost trap underwater.
Sure enough, the moment the frost trap touched the underwater crayfish, a white mist was generated, and the temperature of the surrounding lake instantly became lower, and the speed of all the crayfish within the range of this haze became very slow.
However, whether it is Jiang Yan's ice arrow or Yu Liang's frost trap, the slowdown effect caused by it is a drop in the bucket for such a huge lake and a huge number of crayfish.
Qi Zhen knew that it would definitely not work like this, once everyone fell into the water, there would be no place to stay, but I was afraid that they would be drowned in the sea of crayfish in an instant, let alone defeat the opponent, I was afraid that they would be gnawed to the point that there would be no bones left.
Leaving Li Qiang, Yu Liang, and Jiang Yan on the deck, Qi Zhen took the other three back to the cabin.
In the cabin, the sound of dense taps was even more obvious at this time, and there was already a tendency to practice in one piece.
"Heroes, what's going on out there?"
All the lake bandits were afraid, looked at Qi Zhen and the others and said.
"Blessed are you." Lin Xiao looked at them and became angry, and said in a strange way.
The lake bandits looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"I'm sorry, I have to ask you to get the ship out of here as soon as possible, we can help you, if it's delayed, I'm afraid everyone will die here." Qi Zhen said softly.
"You were the one who said you wouldn't leave! Now it's you, too! Are you deliberately harming us?! A lake bandit shouted.
Qi Zhen glanced at him.
Immediately afterwards, the lake bandit snorted and his body collapsed to the ground.
"I don't want to say the same thing a second time, please hurry up if it's okay."
Qi Zhen showed a very rare strong side at this time, and said sharply at these lake bandits.
The big boss no longer hesitated, and commanded everyone to go to the lower cabin to row, and the lake bandits looked at Qi Zhen with some fear before leaving.
Qi Zhen didn't care about this, leaving Lin Xiao and Jiang Yan staring at the master, while she accompanied Li San and followed the last of the lake bandits into the cabin on the lower deck.
The lower cabin is the same as the upper structure, except that there are no seats in the cabin, and the bulkhead has become a hole in the oar.
The crunching sound is even more intense here, as if thousands of pebbles are constantly hitting the bottom of the ship.
Qi Zhen didn't understand the boating, but seeing that these lake bandits were still performing their duties in such a tense situation, he nodded secretly.
"You're busy, I'll tell you."
Qi Zhen didn't watch them work as an overseer, but had to tell them the urgency of the problem they were facing.
No one looked at Qi Zhen.
At this time, the sound of several broken bones sounded, as if to open Qi Zhen's speech.
"Ahh The lake bandit who came down first roared again.
Li San once again stood by his side before everyone could react.
He was very fast in his hand, threading several paper clips together and placing them on either side of the swollen mallet-like finger, and at the same time took out strips of cloth from his body and wrapped them tightly.
"Don't move, fix." After Li San finished doing this, he walked back to Qi Zhen as if nothing had happened.
"You can rest assured that you are treating him." Seeing the faces of everyone looking at them with fear or resentment, Qi Zhen explained.
The lake bandit's fingers were already numb, and he was pouted back by Li San again, and at this time he was already in tears, and he wanted to die.
Then Qi Zhen told them about what was happening outside and her own speculation.
"What is a crayfish?" Funaji asked.
"You can understand that there is a group of crabs down there, and now they want to eat us." Qi Zhen struggled to explain the biology of this invasive species, so she gave an example that they could understand.
The unknown is the most frightening, and the lake bandits know these things for what they are, but they are not as afraid as they were at the beginning.
But I still feel a little scared, especially when I think that I may be surrounded by countless crabs around my body and eaten away little by little, which is not a good feeling.
So the speed of the men became a little faster.
The lake bandits began to shake the oars.
Slowly, the ship began to move forward.
"Second brother! It's so heavy! ”
There were lake bandits shouting.
Qi Zhen frowned.
Really.
The crayfish were preventing the boat from leaving.
Qi Zhen thought of something else, and hurriedly asked the lake bandit with a broken finger, "How did you feel when you rowed just now?" ”
"I was paddling very easily, and it didn't take much effort for the boat to start moving forward, and I thought it was the wind." The lake bandit replied in confusion.
It seems that the ship was brought here by these crayfish.
Qi Zhen thought of this and said to everyone: "It's a matter of life and death, please do your best." ”
The boat moved slowly.
On the deck, Li Qiang had already fired his third charged laser cannon.
The power of the laser cannon is indeed huge, but the disadvantage is that it takes too long to cool down.
Yu Liang's situation is similar, the production of the Frost Trap takes time, although the range is large, but it can only cause a slowdown effect but does not have any lethality.
Jiang Yan's Ice Arrow skill can also reduce the speed of crayfish by dealing damage, but the range of deceleration is not as good as Yu Liang's, and the killing effect is not as good as Li Qiang's.
Qi Zhen came to the deck and saw the scene in front of her, and her heart could only be like this.
Now it's up to everyone to make it to the shore before the ship sinks, or if they get scuttled through the shipwreck before they reach the shore.
There are too many of these crayfish.
Qi Zhen explained to Li Qiang and walked back to the cabin.
"How?!" Lin Xiao asked.
Qi Zhen shook her head, saying that she didn't know what the final result would be.
"! If only before, these crayfish would not have been enough for a city to eat in one night! Lin Xiao said indignantly.
"That's probably what they're thinking now." Qi Zhen shrugged.
The hull of the ship suddenly tilted, and Lin Xiao stumbled.
"What's going on!?" Lin Xiao shouted.
Qi Zhen looked at the master.
"The bottom of the boat is leaking." The big boss said in a deep voice, looking puzzled.
Qi Zhen had to tell him the current situation again.
"At the current rate, how long will it take us to get to the other side?" Qi Zhen asked.
"An hour or so." The owner said.
"At the rate of water entering now, how long will it be before we sink the ship." Qi Zhen then asked.
"It's also an hour, but the time left for us is only half an hour." There was some bitterness in the words of the big boss.
The shipwreck is peculiar, there are no major signs at first, and once the cabin is flooded, the geometric multiples begin to develop.
It wasn't until the lower cabin was flooded that it was impossible to rock, and the people on board had no choice but to wait for the ship to finally sink.
Qi Zhen nodded, knowing that what he said was right.
He still watched the Titanic movie.
What needs to be done now is to reduce the amount of water in the hold and increase the speed of the ship.
The sound of piercing the bottom became more and more intense, as if the crayfish had received some order, desperately trying to chisel through the hull of the boat to prevent everyone from leaving.
Qi Zhen asked, "Can you go down to the bottom and have a look?" ”
The owner nodded.
"Wait for me."
Qi Zhen came to the deck and explained a few words to Li Qiang.
Li Qiang nodded and motioned for Qi Zhen to go and get busy by himself, just leave it to him here.
Then Qi Zhen and Li San followed the big boss to the lowest cabin.
The cabin was extremely dim, and the big boss carried an oil lamp in his hand, and the light illuminated the narrow space, revealing the situation inside the cabin.
It's not so much a cabin as an extremely narrow partition.
The multi-layer wooden plank structure can effectively block the invasion of water flow, and ensure that the water on a certain layer of the cabin will not affect the whole hull.
The big boss lifted the last partition and revealed the scene of the lowest layer in front of Qi Zhen and the others.
Half of the compartment on the lowest level has been half flooded by water.
Judging by the speed at which the water level is growing, it does not look like a hole in the bottom of the ship is leaking, but slowly seeping into the hold.
The sound of friction and tapping continued to sound, and the resonance through the hull became extremely noisy.
Before the air in the lower cabins is completely lost, I am afraid that the bottom of the boat, which is already as thin as cicada wings, will be completely chiseled through by the crayfish.
