Xiao Ling took a deep breath and began to feel the Exploration that had stabilized, the bow of the ship was slowly sinking, and the stern was slowly upturning, and his heart immediately understood.

Although the unknown behemoth monster with an octopus head has been destroyed, it has already smashed the underside of the bow of the Discovery, the gap is too large to be remedied, the bow of the Exploration is sinking, and it is only a matter of time before the whole ship sinks completely to the bottom of the sea, and the only option now is to abandon the ship and escape.

Fortunately, there are lifeboats on both sides of the "Discovery", and it is not far from the nearest Montenegro, so it is not difficult to escape to Montenegro by lifeboat.

In addition to Xiao Ling and Li Zhibao and other members of the scientific expedition team, the elite team led by Sun Tao is also trained for a long time, and the crew is also a person who has seen strong winds and waves.

Sun Tao kept ordering all the team members to bring enough equipment and supplies as much as possible before evacuating, and at this moment there was still a little time before the "Exploration" completely sank, enough for everyone to carry the supplies onto the lifeboat.

Food, fresh water, munitions, lighting and other supplies were carried as much as possible, and by the time the Discovery was halfway sunk, all the people who were still alive were evacuated and boarded the two lifeboats.

Xiao Ling saw that Zhou Kesheng, Yu Tingting, Li Zhibao, Hu Shengzhe and Wang Lei and other members of the scientific expedition team were safe and sound, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

In this sea area, Sun Tao took a searchlight from time to time to shoot towards the sea, hoping to find the monster corpse whose head was shattered by rockets, but unfortunately the monster corpse did not float, and from beginning to end, everyone could not witness the full picture of this behemoth.

Now with the members of the scientific expedition team, the elite team led by Sun Tao, and the total number of crew members led by Captain Cao Zhiren, about 50 people are still alive, divided into two lifeboats, and sailed away from this blood-stained area.

However, for the next planned itinerary, everyone has disagreements.

For the scientific expedition team led by Zhou Kesheng, it is natural to go to Montenegro, explore the ruins, and find the truth, which is also their mission to enter here this time.

They don't want to give up and run away, and whether they can find this place safely next time is something that no one can predict.

Over the years, how many scientific research personnel have been willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of the country and their ideals.

The surviving crew members led by Cao Zhiren obviously did not have such a spirit of sacrifice, and they thought that now that the "Discovery" was sinking, the danger in the sea ahead was unknown, and the communication signal had been lost, it was really unwise to rush to Montenegro in such a hurry.

The most correct thing to do now is to return to the ship immediately and seek rescue, as for the exploration of the ruins, slow down in advance.

After some discussion, Zhou Kesheng finally decided to divide the troops into two routes, their scientific expedition team took a lifeboat to Montenegro to continue the scientific expedition, and Cao Zhiren took the surviving crew to return in another lifeboat, contacted the boss, and sent a new boat to help them.

This proposal was approved by everyone, and finally the members of the scientific expedition team led by Zhou Kesheng and the elite team led by Sun Tao took a lifeboat to Montenegro, and Cao Zhiren returned with some crew members in a lifeboat.

Sun Tao sent two members of the team to escort Cao Zhiren, who had guns in their hands, in case they encountered any dangerous sea creatures on the way.

Cao Zhiren also left an experienced crew member for Zhou Kesheng's lifeboat.

After that, the two sides parted ways, and Xiao Ling followed Zhou Kesheng and others in a lifeboat and headed towards Montenegro in the distance at full speed.

On this lifeboat, in addition to Xiao Ling, Zhou Kesheng, Li Zhibao, Hu Shengzhe, Wang Lei, Yu Tingting, Pang Yan, Wang Haiyang, Guo Zhenwei nine members of the scientific expedition team and one crew member, the rest were 23 full-scale armed team members headed by Sun Tao and Qin Yang, which were crowded with lifeboats.

The lifeboat is powered by a diesel engine and is equipped with enough fuel to sail at a speed of no less than 6 knots and has a range of at least 24 hours.

After starting, a wave dragged out from the back of the boat and headed towards Montenegro in the distance.

Sun Tao was carrying an assault rifle, his face was solemn, although he had successfully killed the unknown behemoth just now, but the monster's desperate blow before he died slapped Du Changde into a pulp, and even damaged the only bazooka equipped on this trip, which made him feel a lot of pressure in his heart, if such a monster came out again......

He couldn't imagine it, he could only hope that such an unimaginable monster, this sea area, was the only one.

Xiao Ling sat on the lifeboat with Zhou Kesheng, Wang Lei, Hu Shengzhe, Yu Tingting and others, and everyone was a little frightened, talking about the unknown monster with an octopus head, a large number of tentacles and bat wings just now.

"Professor Guo, you are a marine biologist, do you know what kind of creature is in the ocean?" Pang Yan's face turned pale and asked Guo Zhenwei.

Guo Zhenwei shook his head with a wry smile and said: "The biggest creature in the ocean is the blue whale, but according to Captain Sun's description and the damage caused to the Explorer, this creature is only afraid to be bigger than the blue whale, if you want to talk about the octopus, the largest octopus in the world is the Pacific giant octopus, but the circumference is only more than five meters, and the weight is no more than fifty kilograms, in addition to the king squid and the giant spear squid, but they do not match." ”

He shook his head as he spoke, clearly unable to comprehend the existence of such creatures in the ocean.

Hu Shengzhe said: "Brother Guo, I think you are probably studying modern marine life, but the sea area we are invading into may not be able to be viewed with modern eyes." ”

"Oh? What does that mean? Guo Zhenwei looked at him, a little incomprehensible.

Hu Shengzhe said slowly: "According to the map obtained before, the sea area we are invading into now was called Gui Ruins in ancient times, and there may be some creatures that can only exist in ancient times. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Wang Lei and said, "Old Wang, have you thought of it?" ”

In fact, since everyone talked about this unknown monster, Wang Lei has been thinking, he knows everything about ancient species, if there are records in ancient books, he must know.

Xiao Ling also looked at Wang Lei expectantly, he was full of curiosity about this mysterious creature of the sea that could destroy the "Discovery".
