Chapter 178: Emergency Return (Third Watch)
Hearing Liu Xuwei say this, the people in the room were silent for a while.
The destroyer is so big, and the sound of the engine starting is naturally quite loud.
Liu Xuwei spread his hands: "There is one more thing to say, I just checked the monitoring room, and all the rats that were released before have died." Aren't there a few left alive before we go to bed? ”
"We were alive before we went to bed with 4 ......"
Lu Yiming added, "Indeed, now that these rats have all lost contact, how they died is not clear for the time being." It may be due to the influence of white mist, overeating and death, or it may be due to other reasons. All in all, this white mist should not poison living creatures. ”
"You haven't changed now, have you? Is there any cranky thinking in your head? ”
"No...... It's just that I'm hungry and want to eat. ”
It was a difficult night, and with the sacrifice of some people, everyone was not in a good mood.
"Alas......"
Thinking of not being able to happily pick up garbage in the city, Lu Yiming couldn't help but lament, "It would be nice if I could pick up garbage for another month...... No, even half a month's worth of garbage. ”
Fortunately, the logging project has been carried out, otherwise there would have been more casualties among so many lumberjacks.
Before the words fell, Li Yao, who was in charge of the investigation outside, shouted: "Report!" Something is popping out of the forest! They're big and fast! It is about 8 km away from the current location. They are looking for food...... Whether it has been discovered or not is unknown to us. ”
Only the superpower of "clairvoyance" can see clearly in front of you 8 kilometers away in the vast fog.
Everyone immediately became nervous.
This is a creature hatched from a ball of meat, and it is suspected to be an S-class disaster on this continent!
Shi Dayong hurriedly stood up from the stool and said with a serious expression: "Li Yao, you always pay attention to the movements around you and stay vigilant. We've got to get some heavy weapons! If a monster does come up, maybe we'll have to fight. ”
"Don't keep your hands this time, do it hard!"
Now the manpower on the ship is extremely tight, and only 10 people can ensure that they are awake, and the rest have all fainted in the helicopter hangar.
For such a large destroyer, due to the lack of manpower, the armament function is not able to be fully activated.
Lu Yiming began to contact the Yunhai again to cover the retreat of this destroyer.
“…… If there's a lot of weird creatures on the other side of the forest that we can't clean up, I'd like missile support. If it's just a small amount, we'll figure it out...... Yes, if it gets too big, I'm afraid more monsters will be attracted to it. ”
"Understood! Missiles are always ready to support and need fire cover? ”
"Not for now...... And this place is full of white fog, black lights blind, and the view is too poor. Lu Yiming shook his head: "We are just trying to escape, and it doesn't make sense to come to more troops." ”
Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, the destroyer is 80 kilometers away from the base camp, and even the helicopter has to fly for ten or twenty minutes.
When this kind of thing happened, the base camp in the rear was actually more nervous than their front-line personnel, and even Ding Yuan got up from the bed, and held a security meeting in the middle of the night, thinking about what to do and how to reinforce it.
The people of this ship are not to be lost, all the explorers are elite, there are superpowers, soldiers of the special combat team, and some specialists.
From the most utilitarian point of view, the loss of these more than 300 people, the Yunhai will break its muscles and bones, which is much more serious than the loss of 300 civilians!
"After the headquarters discussed, if there is really a large-scale monster pursuit, missiles will be used to cover; If there are only one or two, it's up to us to figure it out. After all, there is no satellite navigation, and the missiles are not very accurate. ”
After hanging up the phone, everyone prepared some heavy weapons, submachine guns and small anti-tank missiles, and began to patrol the ship, communicating with each other through headsets.
Even if the use of these weapons on board could damage the destroyer itself, there is not much to do at this moment.
"Two people in a team, if there is an abnormality, notify immediately."
"Understood!"
Lu Yiming squinted his eyes, looked at the bazooka in his hand, and took a deep breath, if there was really a monster jumping on the boat, then he wouldn't mind giving it a hard blow!
Minute after minute passed......
It seems that the roar of the destroyer's engine is heard, and more and more strange creatures gather on the shore, they are constantly searching for the source of the sound.
The fog was too big, and there was no way to see each other after a distance of more than ten meters, except for Li Yao, who had the ability of "clairvoyance", no one else could know the situation on the shore.
“30…… It's 40, and at least 40 monsters have gathered on the shore, and they are looking for the roar of the destroyer, and they are fighting on the shore. ”
"Do monsters fight with each other?"
"Yes."
"Monsters are already trying to get into the water, and several are trying to swim towards us!"
Li Yao's face changed abruptly and shouted in the earphones.
"Their eyes may not be able to penetrate the white mist, but rather to make direction through sound."
Shi Dayong was stunned, and said in the earphones: "Then can we turn off the sound in the engine room a little less?" Their ears are so dreamy, and the diesel engine we have here is still too loud. ”
The fighters were talking about it: "If the engine is slowed down, the noise will naturally be less, but the speed of our ship will slow down a lot, and it will take more time to return to the headquarters!" ”
"Or call the missiles in headquarters and take them to the pot? No creature can afford a high-explosive bomb. ”
Shi Dayong shook his head: "Forget it, we don't have satellite navigation here, where is such a big fog?" Can you report the coordinates, you'll have to use a lot of missiles. ”
"And these monsters are very sensitive to sound, and if you blow them up with a missile, you may attract more monsters......"
In fact, he was distressed by the act of wanton bombing, and the number of missiles in the Yunhai was limited, and if one was used, there would be one less, and it would be difficult to replenish it with the current industrial strength.
The coastline of this continent is so long, can it be that all such a long coastline is bombed hard? Obviously not very realistic.
These missiles are wasted for no reason, and the days to come will be sad......
Lu Yiming frowned, and put forward a relatively reasonable suggestion: "I think we still have to slow down the destroyer's engine a little, get a balanced speed, control the noise, and the speed is passable, as long as you don't disturb too many monsters, it's no problem to spend a few more hours." Sometimes speed is not enough, safety is the most important thing! ”
Shi Dayong nodded: "Okay, just do it." ”
After some discussion, someone soon ran into the engine room to operate for a while, and the engine noise gradually decreased, and even the speed of returning home was much slower.
"Ways to reduce noise...... Effective! Li Yao squinted his eyes, his gaze piercing through the thick white mist.
After the sound of the "buzzing" engine could not be heard, a large group of monsters roaming the shore began a fierce struggle with each other.
Lu Yiming breathed a sigh of relief, "Everyone be careful, don't be careless, patrol separately in pairs, and something from the province will come up." ”

(PS: That's it for today's update!) )
(This part of the battle plot is a bit difficult to write, so you have to think about it carefully...... )
(Actually, I updated 57,000 words in 9 days, and more than 6,300 words a day, which is not short!) In fact, most of the chapters are more than 2,000 words. Yesterday's chase was only 979, and most readers are watching pirated versions, so it's not realistic for me to explode like an eagle. )
There is no mistake
