Chapter 483: The Shadows Under the Sea
"How can there be such a big reef, not to mention that this is not the first time we have come to salvage this sea area, if there is such a dangerous obstacle as a reef, the radar on the navigation chart should have already made a show to change the course!"
Hearing the speculation of the old sailors, the first thing that other sailors expressed different opinions was.
In modern society, reefs, although still pose a certain degree of threat to ship navigation, are far less deadly than they were in the Middle Ages.
In particular, the waters of the North Atlantic, as one of the world's important fishing grounds, have long been explored by major fishing boats, and even if there are dangers such as reefs, they have long been clearly marked, and fishing boats will automatically avoid this dangerous area when sailing.
Therefore, the old sailor's guess was clearly not accurate.
"If it's not a reef, then what is it that keeps fishing boats from sailing?"
Faced with a rebuttal, the old sailor immediately asked rhetorically.
Although he was an old man on the Quebec Ocean Voyage, he still had too little knowledge compared to the vast sea.
"OMG, guys, come and see, there's something at the bottom of the sea, there's something at the bottom of the sea!"
At this moment, a brave sailor approached the side of the boat and exclaimed in surprise when he saw the scene under the fishing boat.
Hearing the sailor's voice, the old sailor's heart tightened unconsciously for some reason, and a sense of uneasiness suddenly came to his heart.
On deck, the old sailor hurried to the side of the ship in three steps and two steps, and looked down in the direction the sailor pointed.
I saw where the Quebec Ocean was staying, and under the blue sea, a huge and dark shadow was reflected in the old sailor's cloudy and dark blue pupils. The shadows that appear on the bottom of the sea are so great that even the Quebec Ocean only occupies a tiny part of this shadow, and more shadows are still hidden under the sea.
"This, what the hell is this?!"
Not only the old sailors, but also the other sailors of the Quebec Ocean saw the great shadows that appeared beneath the surface.
They exclaimed in amazement as they looked at the bottomless shadow and the rocky presence that rose and fell through the blue water, like mountain peaks.
"What the hell is this?"
"Could it be an undersea volcano?"
"Impossible, how can there be an undersea volcano in this place."
"It's not a volcano, so what the hell is this shadow!"
Just as the sailors of the Quebec Ocean were settling the uneasiness in their hearts with all kinds of quarrels, the old sailor's pupils suddenly contracted as he gazed at the huge shadow.
"Did you notice that the shadows seem to be moving?"
At that moment, a sharp-eyed sailor noticed that the huge shadow beneath the Quebec Ocean was not standing still, but was moving slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Damn, it's true, I saw it too."
As someone reminded, more sailors also noticed.
Amid the exclamations of everyone on the side of the ship, the old sailor unconsciously took a few steps back, hiding his inner uneasiness.
"Be careful, this shadow may be ......"
On the deck, the old sailor's footsteps retreated all the way to the cabin, and when the footsteps touched the cabin, he shouted as if from a dream to the sailors who were still standing on the side of the ship arguing.
Boom!
Boom –
However, it was obvious that the old sailor's reminder was a little late, and before he could finish his words, the originally calm sea under the entire Quebec Ocean suddenly set off waves, and the Quebec Ocean was like a flat boat without resistance under the huge waves.
On the deck of the ship, the sailors swayed and fell on the hard deck because of the huge waves.
Many sailors kowtowed to their heads and bled out, but many sailors crawled up with their hands and feet and crawled towards the position of the cabin, urged by the survival instinct.
As sailors who beg for a living at sea, they know very well how dangerous the raging sea is, although it is not clear why the sea, which was calm before the good end, suddenly became so violent. However, the situation in front of them was no longer something they could think about, and all the sailors of the Quebec Ocean were thinking about at the moment was how to survive the rough seas in front of them.
"Damn, this is my place!"
"Get out of the way, let me in......"
"Bastards, you unrighteous guys, you actually left me alone."
"Raised by a son of a bitch, what kind of evil did I hit when I went to sea this time, and I encountered everything."
"Perhaps, I should listen to my wife and find a job on land."
Scrambling into the crowded cabins, the frightened noise of the sailors mixed with the strong smell of fish makes the whole scene feel like an alternative hell.
“……”
However, a few minutes passed, and the expected wave did not hit, and the Quebec Ocean fell into an eerie calm.
"Do you think it's weird?"
Squeezed into the innermost part of the cabin like a sardine can, the old sailor endured the smell of the fishy mixed with the sailor's body around him, but the expression on his face was not at all relaxed.
The old sailor's voice was not clear in the noisy cabin, but he was heard by a few sailors who were close to him, including the one who had the audacity to approach the side of the ship before.
"What's weird?"
"The Quebec Ocean didn't shake at all."
In the cabin, the old sailor felt the situation of the Quebec Ocean under him, and the uneasiness in his heart kept welling up.
Fishing boats can shake even in the calmest seas, but the old sailor did not feel the slightest shaking from the Quebec Ocean, as if the Quebec Ocean was not floating in the sea but landing on hard land.
Hearing the old sailor's reminder, the expressions of several sailors around him also changed.
They turned their heads and tried to look around, but the crowded conditions of the cabin made it difficult for them to move, and even attracted curses from those around them.
"Maybe it was just a walrus change."
After sheltering in the crowded cabin for more than ten minutes, he noticed that the Quebec Ocean was still calm, and the minds of some sailors crammed into the cabin began to change.
After all, so many people are crammed into the cramped cabin, it is not a much enjoyable thing, especially the habits of sailors, many people do not have the habit of bathing at all, many foul smells are mixed together, and soon some people can't stand it, among them, there are many sailors who were injured on the deck because of shaking before, they didn't care about the injuries on their bodies because of the crisis of the situation, and now they find that the situation is different from what they thought before, and the wounds on their bodies that were originally ignored suddenly began to hurt.
"I'm bleeding, I need to be bandaged."
"My legs, my legs."
Clutching their animals, some of the sailors huddled close to the entrance to the cabin were the first to get out of the crowded environment, and they came to the deck to take a deep breath of fresh air.
“OMG!”
However, soon, they saw a scene that they will never forget.
As the old sailor had guessed, the Quebec Ocean did not stay on the surface of the sea, and certainly did not stop on land.
Before, above the vast expanse of the sea, a huge and hideous turtle-like head with no end in sight was floating dozens of meters away from the Quebec Ocean Voyage, and the location of the Quebec Ocean was impressively above the turtle's spiky carapace.
Before, the sailors had seen what looked like a mountain peak above the water's surface and was nothing more than spikes on a turtle's shell.
And the Quebec Ocean Coast, an ocean-going fishing vessel of tens of tons, is caught in the spikes of turtle shells like mountain peaks, which actually gives people a feeling of insignificance.
……
"Hey, Tony, did you hear that?"
Inside the Avengers Tower, Banner swept the latest reports scrolling on the virtual screen in front of him.
Turning his head to look at Tony to the side, his eyes lingering on the pile of coffee around him, he said, "Kidd the Strange Thief has reappeared." ”
“……”
On the other side, hearing Banner's voice, Tony was silent for a few seconds before he came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream, and replied with hindsight: "What, what are you talking about, Banner?" ”
"Nothing."
Looking at Tony's terrible situation in front of him, Banner suddenly put back the topic of Kidd the Strange Thief, he frowned and looked at the other party's tired appearance, and couldn't help but say, "How long have you not rested, Tony." ”
"Five days or a week, I can't remember."
Hearing Banner's inquiry, Tony had a thoughtful expression on his face, but quickly changed back to his original appearance and asked Banner rhetorically, "What did you want to tell me just now, Doctor?" ”
"You should be resting, Tony."
Instead of answering Tony's question, Banner looked at Tony, who was in a rather bad situation in front of him, and the worried expression on his face became a little more obvious.
Because of Hulk's relationship, Banner is far beyond ordinary people in terms of physical strength, and it is precisely for this reason that he ignores that Tony, who has removed the steel suit, is just an ordinary person, and such high-intensity research is obviously consuming Tony's energy.
"I'm in good shape."
In the face of Banner's persuasion, Tony shows his stubborn side.
"In fact, I've perfected the plan, and I can get accurate data results as soon as I schedule another test at Ultron."
"Perhaps Dr. Banner is right, Mr. Stark."
With a blue glow in his eyes, Ultron scanned Tony's body and spoke in his warm, rational voice.
"Your body is on the verge of a critical point, and the most important thing you need to do at this time is to get a good night's sleep."
"We're running out of time."
Banner and Ultron's persuasion made Tony's irritability accumulated due to long hours of work suddenly explode, and he replied with a violent face: "If we can't prepare everything before the [Holy Lord], maybe we won't even have a chance to resist, we don't know anything about the power of the [Holy Lord], but I believe it will definitely be more terrifying than imagined." ”
"Even if the Lord attacks New York tomorrow, you'll need to rest right away, Tony."
Tony's worries, Banner naturally knew it, but he knew better that if Tony didn't take a good rest right now, he might fall first before the [Holy Lord] attacked.
"I know my situation so I can hold on a little longer."
Refusing Banner's offer without thinking about it, Tony turned his tired body back into his own research experiments.
"I didn't want to do this, Tony, you forced me."
Looking at Tony's stubborn appearance, Banner sighed helplessly, and then looked up at Jarvis in the laboratory and shouted.
"Jarvis, help me get through to Pepper."
"Okay, Dr. Banner."
"Jarvis, stop ......"
Hearing Banner's words, the expression on Tony's face changed suddenly, and he turned his head to look at Banner behind him and opened his mouth to stop Jarvis.
However, Jarvis's excellent handling system allows it to react as soon as it receives a command.
"Tony?"
"Hi Pepper......"
For the first time ever, Tony regretted raising Jarvis' running power to such a high level.
……
"This is the Canadian Coast Guard, please report on what you are currently in and what you are encountering?"
Canada, Canada Coast Guard Headquarters.
The telephone operator picked up the phone and made the inquiry in a professional manner.
"Turtle, no, monster, we've encountered a giant sea monster, come and rescue us!"
Answering the phone, a panicked voice came from the other side, incoherently making a call for help.
"Sea monster, I'm sorry, sir, please don't play such a joke on the Coast Guard, if you do, we may hold you legally responsible for disturbing the public peace."
Operators at the Canadian Coast Guard headquarters are not easy jobs, especially when there are a lot of people on the sea, and there are often mischiefs for help from sailors who have been drifting at sea for too long.
"I'm not lying, damn it, we really encountered a giant sea monster, and now our distant-water fishing vessel, the Quebec Ocean Coast, is on the back of this sea monster!"
The operator's reaction obviously made the expression of the captain of the Quebec Ocean call for help a little panicked again, he gritted his teeth and looked at the ocean-going fishing boat that followed the monster with a frightened gaze, and at the same time kept calling for help with a trembling voice.
"Come and save us, we need help, please."
"Sir, please don't say any more, everything you said has been recorded, and the Canadian Coast Guard will retain legal action against you."
"Damn, you son of a bitch, everything I said is true!"
"Monster, it's really a giant turtle, we need to ...... it"
Seeing that his call for help was regarded as a prank by the operator at the Canadian Coast Guard headquarters, the captain's original pleading tone suddenly became a little angry.
