Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Explorers of the White Country X
"Look, what's that?" John was sighing at the beautiful scenery, the scene of seabirds circling, but suddenly exclaimed. Pointing to the place where the seabirds are circling.
Dick took the binoculars and looked in the direction of John's finger, and saw a large ship walking and stopping, holding something like a submersible.
"Who has so much money that the submersible is like a dumpling," Dick muttered to himself as he observed, and he sensitively felt that it was closely related to what he was going to do.
"Charts," Dick said without looking back, and John took the charts from the bridge and handed them to Dick.
"Don't look at it, this is the sea area you are going to, the Blue Star Horn Vortex, but the time is not yet the time when there is a whirlpool, so what you see is a relatively calm sea." Jack said as he drove.
"That's right, let's stop, these guys may have the same purpose as us, but they have so many people that we can't go head-to-head with him," Dick said slowly.
There was a deep unwillingness in his eyes, he had been preparing for so long, but he didn't expect it to be such a result, he had to wait here, even if he failed, he had to know the reason for the failure.
This big ship should be the big ship that Sun Yang and they are on, if Dick knows the strength of this big ship, I don't know if he dares to wait here.
Jack stopped the submersible, the engine lost the powerful roar, the whole submersible fell silent, Dick kept watching the movement of the big ship with a telescope, everyone would drop a submersible every ten nautical miles, although not as big as they drove, but not small.
To be able to produce so many submersibles, and to be able to transport all of these things here, and operate here on a large scale, these guys are too powerful.
Dick sighed in his heart.
Open the chart in your hand, this area is 500 nautical miles, how much should there be around a circle, or not around a circle! Dick speculated in his mind. After pondering for a long time before he looked up, Jack and John stood quietly beside him, waiting for his decision.
"Wait and see how it goes." Dick said slowly.
"What about wine? John, where did you find the wine? Dick suddenly changed the subject, since this is not a happy topic, it is better to find a happy thing to do.
Drinking must have been a joy for most people, at least that's what John and Dick thought, and Jack didn't object.
"Here," John cheerfully took out the wine he had just put away, and wine was definitely a good friend to John, and if there was anything better than that, it would be to find another drinking buddy to drink with.
Now that Dick has offered to drink, it is undoubtedly very good news in this confined space with only a limited number of people.
"If it's not enough, I'll go down and get it." John said as he shook the bottle in his hand.
"Jack, do you drink?" John looked at Jack and asked, looking at the two bottles of wine in his hand and finding that there seemed to be one bottle missing, he felt that something was slightly wrong. Without waiting for Jack to answer, he put down the wine in his hand, turned and ran towards the stairs, he had to go and get more, whether Jack drank it or not, these two bottles of wine were obviously not enough.
When John reappeared, he brought a whole case of wine, and Jack couldn't help but smile when he looked at him, it was rare for this killer to be so cute.
"This should be enough to drink," John said as he put down his box, his chest a little heaving as he ran a little fast.
"Drink, I'll watch the movement" Although Jack is not against drinking, he can drink a little, but he tries to control the amount of alcohol he drinks.
"Okay, tell me what's going on," Dick said as he handed Jack the binoculars in his hand, then picked up a bottle of beer from the box, put the mouth of the bottle to his teeth, and bit the cap off with all his might.
Then, with a tilt of his neck, almost half a bottle of wine went into Dick's stomach.
The two of them went back and forth, so they stood in the cabin and drank.
Jack looked at the submersibles in the distance, like a buoy floating on the surface of the sea, and the big ship that had put them down had moved away from this direction, leaving only a small black dot in the telescope until it disappeared on the horizon.
"They're starting to dive," Jack sees in a strange scene through the telescope, where all the submersibles left on the surface are diving almost simultaneously.
Dick stopped drinking, snatched the telescope from Jack's hand, and saw that the submersibles were almost the same degree of dive, as if the same machine was operating.
"Jack, get on board, let's catch up," Dick commanded without looking back, looking at the sea ahead, the submersibles were almost all gone.
Suddenly, the water there seemed to be boiling, and a violent swell pushed the submersibles to the surface, and a pitch-black, unknown monster floated up from the sea.
"Wait, Jack, wait". Dick hurriedly exclaimed,
"Look at yourselves," Dick cried out in panic as he pointed to the sea ahead of him, and there was a sense of fear in his voice that he had never felt before. It was as if a mountain had suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea, pushing the submersibles to the ground.
Jack and John gradually saw the whole picture, it was a behemoth, like a whale and not like a whale, twice as big as a normal whale. I saw it open its mouth wide and suck these submersibles into its belly like small fish.
Cold sweat broke out on the backs of the three of them, if these submersibles were their own, how should they be placed?
The strange whale chased every submersible, but there were too many of these submersibles, in such a short time, several of them went down, and the speed of the strange whales became slower and slower, but they still chased hard, as if they wanted to swallow every intruder.
"Don't you think this weird guy is a bit of a controlled," Dick said with a puzzled look at the whale trying to chase the submersible.
"Why do you say that?" John asked, looking at the strange whale.
"You see it's just chasing the submersible, it doesn't even pay attention to the fish near it, the animal is supposed to chase food, it has swallowed a few submersibles, it should know that this thing is not food, it is not tasty, if the first submersible angers it, it has nothing to do with it later, so it should be ordered to do it." Dick analyzed.
John looked at it carefully, and as Dick had said, he couldn't help but be skeptical.
The strange whale swallowed several submersibles in a row, moving more and more slowly, and then completely stopped moving, floating on the surface of the sea like a small mountain, motionless.
"Is it swelling to death?" Jack said with a frown as he watched the strange whale stop moving.
"Drive a little further, let's go see, John, get the gun out and see if it's dead or alive." Dick said to John.
"Ok" John agreed, gesticulating, and went to the deck with his gun, and Dick followed out with a telescope. Jack activates the submersible and heads for the whale.
The distance got closer and closer, and the shock in the hearts of the three of them grew, and the huge body of the strange whale gave them a huge shock. No wonder no one who came here to explore before came back, and it seems that they were swallowed by this strange whale.
If it weren't for these submersibles diving first, it would be impossible to escape the disaster of death if they were replaced by them. Thinking about it now, it's a bit scary, if they dive into the sea, they won't even have the slightest room for resistance, and they don't know where Dick's confidence came from at that time, and it was a fluke that they missed the danger of losing their lives by mistake.
John set up his gun on the guardrail on the deck and aimed at the whale's head, the size of a small mountain bag, a small bullet could hardly hurt it. It's okay to just test it now, and if you fight head-on, there's really no threat to it.
With a "bang", the bullet hit the monster whale's huge head directly. Dick saw through the telescope that the strange whale was unresponsive and remained motionless.
"It's really dead, it's not moving". Dick's tone was very excited, those submersibles could be regarded as a huge threat to them, a big obstacle cleared, otherwise, they would not have been able to pass this first level.
"Hurry up, it's dead," Dick said loudly to Jack with a wave of his hand toward the cab.
