Chapter 75: The Hunter

When Nangong Rong hurried to the bridge, the fleet's search for the monster that Disya believed was hidden under the water continued, and so far nothing had been found, as if it did not exist, and what had just happened was just a thunder on the sea. But the crew of the destroyer that sank on the spot would not have thought it was ordinary thunder, after all, they didn't even have a chance to abandon ship and escape, so they just got the lunch.

"Why are you here?" Disya turned her head to look at the panting young man and pouted, "It's still fighting, don't make a mess and leave quickly." ”

Although he accidentally choked on his trachea while sorting out his breathing, Nangong Rong still wiped his tears and insisted on asking, "I see that you launched a counterattack earlier and hit the enemy?"

"Hit. ”

"Nope. ”

The soldier in charge of the sonar and Disya gave two completely opposite answers at the same time, which made the young man fall into a state of confusion for a moment, and the eldest sister glared at the soldier even more dissatisfied, but the other party did not feel frightened at all, but stiffened his neck: "Captain Disya, I am the sonar officer, I know what is happening below, and please stop guessing with baseless subjective speculation." ”

After scratching his scalp suspiciously, Nangong Rong looked at the two people in front of him carefully left and right, and then asked seriously, "What the hell is going on?"

A few minutes ago, Disya gave the order to launch an anti-submarine missile, and no one objected to it, since there was no other existence than friendly ships nearby, the only remaining thing was naturally the most suspicious. So the guided torpedo carried on the missile successfully entered the water and exploded in the middle of the group of hapless sea fish, causing a large number of waves.

In layman's terms, it is a certain eldest sister who blew up a nest of fish with an expensive missile, not an imaginary abyss monster. The sonar man was pretty sure he heard the sound of schools of fish scurrying around in panic as the torpedo approached, not the sound of large creatures turning or diving as Disya suspected, and then he took off his headphones and didn't try to discern the torpedo as it snapped into the water.

However, Disia was not convinced of this result at all, otherwise she would not have allowed the fleet to continue to search the area on the surface.

Nangong Rong, who was full of black lines, didn't know what kind of evaluation he should make, relatively speaking, the young man was more supportive of Disya's point of view, but after the anti-submarine missile attack, nothing could be found nearby, and the fleet was not attacked, it seemed that what they had killed was really just a school of fish.

"Can't you see what's going on underwater?" After a while, the young man cautiously asked a question, "If you can see what's going on down there, you'll know what's going on." ”

The technology of this world is much higher than that of the empire, and Nangong Rong, who has done some homework, naturally understands what an underwater camera is, this technology has played a big role in fighting the abyss, and it is still one of the most important means for human beings to prevent underwater attacks.

Disya immediately shook her head helplessly: "It's useless, the so-called fish detected before are just at a very subtle depth, and a little dive can enter the black sea area that the sun can't reach." Our anti-submarine missiles also do not have a camera function, they are guided exclusively by sound, so no one knows exactly what is in the water. ”

The boy stretched out his index finger in a half-joking tone and scratched his face, sneering and suggesting, "Why don't you just throw a few depth charges?"

"Well, when the time comes, blow up a giant octopus to capture the girls in the fleet, you kid will have benefits, right?" The eldest sister glanced at Nangong Rong angrily, and directly rejected his proposal, "Don't make a fuss, the bottom of the sea in this place is very deep, enough for the enemy to hide well in it, even if we throw all the anti-submarine weapons on the ship, we won't be able to make much waves." And this guy's target should be the main fleet that arrived here at night, but it happened to be bumped into by us passing by, so we can't let it wander in this area. Anyway, Xiaoyin has already sent them over to help, and there is no shortage of our destroyers, so it is better to search this place thoroughly. ”

Isn't this the legendary Hunt Submarine, except that the player's ship has been replaced by a destroyer, and the submarine has been replaced by the Abyss and the enemy.

Nangong Rong didn't care, after all, he was just joking, he shrugged his shoulders very indifferently and spread his hands and said, "If you want to turn this place upside down, just go for it, but don't forget that the other party has a terrible attack power." According to your speculation, it is planning to attack the existence of the main fleet, and it should not have any difficulty if it comes up with real skills to deal with a few of your destroyers......"

The sonarman's sudden shout interrupted the boy's unfinished words: "There is a sound of rapid rise in the water, it is something very large! Wait, this is -! (angrily ripping off the headphones) A violent compression explosion, number one, an enemy attack!"

Unlike humans, Abyssal Monsters' torpedoes are all alive and do not need to be fired from the launch tube, and some high-powered live weapons are also different from artillery in that they need to be charged before they can be fired. The sonar man hears the sound of the weapon as it fires violently after it has finished charging.

A submarine with a main gun? You really think you're the main character's ship.

"Left full rudder!" Desia shouted without hesitation, and after a few seconds, everyone on the bridge involuntarily grabbed something nearby and held their bodies in place, otherwise they would definitely be thrown into a rolling hoist by the heavily sloping floor.

The expression posture was in place, but unfortunately all the work was done in vain, and the sky-high fire and violent explosion appeared on the sea in the distance on the right side of the ship, and the target of the opponent's attack was not this ship.

"The Guyu has been completely destroyed, and it is impossible to carry out a rescue!"

Disya didn't pay attention to whether the friendly ship had turned into a ball of fire or scrap metal, her hands tightly grasped the handles on both sides of the chair, and she tried to sit up straight and continued to give the battle order: "Immediately lock the opponent's position, and give me all the things that can be used to attack the submarine!" Notify the other ships to launch a coordinated attack, since it dares to take the initiative to show its head, then don't think about retracting it completely!"

With the frantic press of a soldier, the deck of the battleship suddenly became bustling, and the small destroyer seemed to be on fire, spitting flames everywhere, throwing all kinds of dangerous objects into the sea or the sky.

Convinced that he was hearing the sound of a school of fish, the sonar officer who was slapped in the face took the risk and put on his headphones again, and at the same time stared at the boss fiercely at the screen showing the underwater image, completely in a posture of not giving up until the enemy was found.

Nangong Rong didn't notice the sonar's actions, his attention was all on the sea outside the window at the moment. The scene where the four destroyers dropped explosives into the water at the same time was already spectacular for the boy, the sea was tumbling like boiling hot water, and a large number of white water sprays were sprayed into the air and then fell like rain, and he even saw a small rainbow in it.

"No, no, still no. The furrowing sonar officer's tone was unconsciously anxious, and his performance also made the people nearby worried, "So far, all the attacks have not hit the real thing, and all the seawater we bombed!"

As the captain's face is not very good-looking, although I don't know how the other party managed to get rid of the lock and avoid the attack, but it is obviously playing with humans, pure one-sided play, if she can feel happy, there will be a ghost.

"What about that guy's location, can you still track it down?"

The eldest sister didn't have much hope for this, and if she could continue to find the enemy after the sea water was stirred into a pot of porridge, she might as well buy a lottery ticket, and she just asked casually, but the sonarist's answer surprised everyone: "Yes, its signal is very clear, and it can still be tracked." Wait, they're attacking again!"

"Avoid!"

This time it was unfortunate that there was a battleship in the distance on the left, because of the tilt of the hull, Nangong Rong, who was almost lying on the window glass, was not only overwhelmed, but also saw that the unlucky destroyer also made a sharp turn to avoid the action on the sea - but it was useless, its stern flew away from the sea with a large number of splashes, and then the entire hull also rose to the sky, like a fish that was pinched by its tail and carried upside down.

Something in the shape of a torpedo with a perfectly streamlined body can be seen piercing the stern, but it is definitely much larger than a normal torpedo, taking on the characteristic lilac of the abyss. However, before Nangong Rong could take a closer look, a large amount of flames burst out from the inside, instantly tearing apart the entire destroyer.

"The Cold Dew is gone!"

"Damn, keep fighting back!"

Disya clenched her fist and slammed the chair handle hard, at this time she had no other way but to fight back, but Nangong Rong, who was supposed to play soy sauce in the bridge until the end of the battle, suddenly raised her hand to stop her.

"Wait, the enemy's position is in the black sea where the sun can't shine at all, and naturally it can't be seen on the camera. So if you want to fight back, you can only rely on sonar positioning, right?"

The eldest sister pressed her head to resist the urge to slap the young man away, nodded seriously, and said, "That's true, yes, is there something wrong?"

"The eye must have light in order to see, in other words, the other person in the black sea cannot see us either, and it also determines our position through sound. So as long as we stop attacking, no, even the ship's engines are turned off without making any sound, it will naturally not be able to find us. ”

The young man's words immediately attracted a lot of exclamations and even insults, and everyone looked at him with the eyes of a madman, after all, no matter how much he tried to stop the maneuver of the ship at such a time, it was simply unpleasant. Even Disia couldn't help but look skeptical, but instead of directly denying it, she was thinking carefully about whether the boy's proposal was reasonable.

Nangong Rong shrugged his shoulders indifferently at the expense of everyone: "Is it any good for me to harm you, isn't it still the same time to play together if the ship is hit?" In addition, Sister Disya, you speculate that the guy under the water originally planned to sneak attack the main fleet, and now judging from the strength it has shown, the other party does have the ability to do so, so the question is, it can completely pretend that it did not notice us passing by the sea and continue to hide itself, and wait until the main fleet arrives before showing its fangs, why did it take the initiative to expose itself so early?"

Sneak attack and assault are two different concepts entirely, especially when underwater units attack surface ships. The enemy can take advantage of everyone's unpreparedness to quickly take out the aircraft carriers or battleships in the main fleet, even if they lose their combat effectiveness, but now they do not hesitate to expose themselves only for a few schoolchildren?

Unless this is a standard lolita gentleman, Nangong Rong doesn't believe it.

Obviously, Disya didn't believe it either, so her thoughts became clearer: "Could it be that Xiao Manhao who was attacked first did something?"

"Yes, there is only one reason why a hunter who has been disguised in his chosen hunting ground will not hesitate to jump up and tear off his disguise and attack, and that is that the hunter thinks he has been exposed. Nangong Rong raised his index finger very seriously and said firmly, "Sister Disya, did you give any orders to Xiaoman about the detection and search before?"

"I think it seems like asking them to scan the ocean floor with active sonar every other distance to see if there are any abyssal strongholds that Rex and the others missed......"

"That's it!" the eldest sister first shouted in unison with the young man, and then gave the order without hesitation, "Immediately cease fire, turn off the engines and active sonar, and any other unnecessary instruments, and try to be as quiet as possible from now on." ”

"Uh, Captain?"

"Execute the order!"

The destroyer's speed immediately slowed down, and by inertia, it slowly glided over the surface of the sea for some distance, and finally entered a state of immobility. During this time, Disya gave the same instructions to the other two other ships, but the captains of the two ships apparently did not listen, but thought she was crazy, and continued to fight back while sailing fast on her own.

A few minutes later, the White Dew was pierced through the middle and bowed like a shrimp, and the whole ship exploded before it could be shot off the sea, and the final captain of the Autumn Equinox finally chose to believe after listening to Disya's explanation, but unfortunately it was too late, and the engine was turned off and was hit, and there was no chance to stop the ship.

After all, the enemy under the water can only hear the sound of this ship at the moment, and it is very simple to find or aim.

Disya couldn't help but shake her head helplessly, leaned back in her chair and sighed, "Are we the only ones left?"
