Chapter 782: Lightning Skull

As the world's leading supervessel, the Kunpeng has the most complete watertight compartment and automatic repair system.

However, when a monster at the bottom of the sea frantically attacked the hull of the ship, no amount of strict defense could prevent the hull from being torn apart by it like a matchbox.

"The auto-patching system is failing!"

"There is a problem with the power system, and the whole ship is losing power!"

"Engine Group 2 was overloaded, Engine Group 4 exploded, and we lost half of our power!"

"We're sinking...... No...... We're being dragged into the deep sea! ”

A panicked scream plunged the bridge into an abyss of despair.

The captain, who has experienced a hundred battles, has nerves like copper cast iron, and has never been immobile in the stormy seas, is still unwilling to give up the opportunity to fight to the death.

He ordered the first mate to personally lead the team and lead an elite team to go deep into the bottom of the cabin and manually open the repair system.

However, when the first mate rushed into waist-deep water with a team of brave sailors, it was not only the ferocious infusion of the sea that awaited them, but also ......

The first mate didn't come back for a long time.

Screams were heard over the communicator.

The cry was quickly muffled by the noise, followed by "coo, coo, coo", like the sound of a swamp bubbling.

When the second team of tinkerers and rescuers reached the bottom of the cabin, they did not find the first mate and the first sailors, but only saw a thick layer of blood floating on the sea.

You can also see that the bulkheads that have not been completely submerged are painted with bright red handprints.

That's before the human was torn to shreds, slamming the bulkhead hard, leaving the last traces.

The Kunpeng continued to sink.

Hit by the waves or something, the sound of metal fatigue coming from the hull of the ship became more and more harsh and louder.

The sound of "squeak" is like the whistle of death.

"Boom! Click! ”

Even the weather is messing around.

It seems that the appearance of a monster has disturbed the dynamic balance of the magnetic field of heaven and earth, and the storm that had gradually subsided has become violent again in an instant.

Lightning and thunder followed, and lightning struck the crew's faces in the face, almost tearing their hearts apart.

"Look, look!"

At this time, a crew member covered his heart and pointed to the porthole next to the bridge in panic.

His voice was more distorted than that of a woman in labor.

Everyone looked along his trembling fingertips and saw tentacles ten times thicker than pythons, sticking to the portholes, spreading up.

These tentacles are a grotesque dark purple, covered with suckers and bone blades, and dripping with corrosive slime.

Although all of the Kunpeng's portholes were fitted with tempered glass to withstand the strongest waves, the tentacles snaking through it were still corroded with green smoke, "crackling" and bursting with cobweb-like cracks.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Outside the porthole, behind the bulkhead that everyone couldn't see, there was a dull crashing sound.

The sound was like the drumstick of the Demon King of Hell, beating everyone's hearts.

With each impact, the metal bulkhead of the bridge bulked inward.

Suddenly, dense bulges appeared on the bulkheads all around, like the fangs of an invisible demon.

The tentacles of the monster completely enveloped the bridge.

It doesn't seem to be in a hurry to drag the Kunpeng into the deep sea completely, but instead pursues some kind of evil ritual like a cat teasing a mouse, or a person who is not too hungry and slowly opens a can.

"Ahh

Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore, grabbed his weapon, rushed out of the bridge, and came to the deck.

- It's not so much that they are desperate and regard death as home, but rather that they can't stand such cruel mental torture before they die, and decide to end this horror movie-like fate early.

In these days, the sea is unsafe, and super freighters such as the Kunpeng belong to shipping companies with deep backgrounds and strong influence, and can use the resources of the military to carry out militarized modifications for cargo ships, and carry a large number of individual heavy firepower equipment.

On the deck of the Kunpeng, the space of about a thousand containers was reduced and eight rapid-fire guns were installed.

The arsenal next to the bridge also has enough heavy machine guns, grenades and rocket launchers.

The vast majority of the crew members have received militarized training, and many sailors are originally veterans of the Navy, and they are armed to the teeth in the first place.

However, when they carried heavy machine guns, carried bazookas, or climbed up to the turret from the passage below deck, and saw the true face of the monster, they all experienced a few seconds of heart paralysis.

Then he sadly found that the "heavy firepower" in his hand, in the eyes of the monster, may be no different from the toy that fires toothpicks.

It was a round monster with a torso diameter of more than thirty meters.

And the sixteen tentacles with teeth and claws will increase in length by ten times.

It resembles a mutant of some kind of giant octopus or king squid, but it is even uglier and hideous.

On the dark purple torso, there are pools of light that are constantly flowing and changing, like human facial features, which can form rich expressions.

But the vast majority of the "expressions" are like a grinning skull.

"Boom! Click! ”

Lightning fell from the sky.

It was as if attracted to this monster, and it all landed on its torso.

However, instead of being blackened by lightning, the monster was able to absorb the power of lightning and "recharge" itself.

Its tentacles danced more intensely, and the faintly glittering skull that covered the entire torso became more and more mysterious.

"Yes, it's it!"

All the sailors who saw the true face of the monster had their hearts contracted involuntarily.

"It's the Lightning Skull!"

They groaned in pain, exhaling the last of their strength.

Not all monsters have names, and many just have a number.

The monster has a name, which means that it has been in contact with humans very frequently, and has left an extremely deep impression on humans.

Generally speaking, it's never a good impression.

"Lightning Skeleton", a soft-bodied tentacle-like monster with a body length of about 30 meters (not counting tentacles) to 300 meters (counting tentacles), weighing an unknown weight.

It has an extremely fast diving speed, swinging tentacles that can cut off fishing boats with a displacement of thousands of tons, and has a strong ability to repair and regenerate cells, even if the tentacles are cut off together, it will not take a month or two to recover as before.

In addition, it also has at least a superpower to manipulate electric currents, which can release high-voltage arcs with an attack distance of hundreds of meters, and with its tentacles that are already three hundred meters long, the attack range is extremely terrifying.

In the indigenous languages of the South Pacific, it is also known as "Chichilis", which means "the demon that comes with lightning".

Over the past year, the Lightning Skull has been operating in the waters south of the equator, making at least seven contacts with the human fleet, destroying twelve human merchant ships, a destroyer, a frigate, two rescue helicopters, and a helicopter gunship.

According to marine biologists, the lightning skeleton is very sensitive to the sound of the propellers of human ships, and the ripples caused by the propellers agitating the seawater may be as sharp as metal scraping glass, which in its perception is absolutely unbearable.

Therefore, it is an extremely dangerous beast with a strong desire to actively attack human ships.

In particular, three months ago, it collided with a human naval escort fleet, and was blown off two tentacles by depth charges, suffering a big loss, and becoming extremely brutal and bloodthirsty.

Before the tentacles could regrow, it retaliated and attacked one after another, destroying many human merchant ships even more.

In response to this threat, the Navy also sent an additional escort fleet to launch a hunt and counter-hunt chase with the Lightning Skull in the South Pacific.

Unexpectedly, this crazy and cunning demon fled to the "Eastern Bermuda" north of the equator without a sound, jumping out of the encirclement of the human navy!

"Boom! Boom Boom! ”

The first second they found out that the other party was a lightning skeleton, and the sailors were completely desperate.

However, human beings are creatures that will not give up their quest for hope, even in the most desperate abyss.

Even if you have no hope, you must bring hope to more people and more compatriots who are connected by blood.

"Brothers, come on, even if you die, you have to blast a few tentacles of this beast!"

"The navy is encircling this beast, and as long as we can delay long enough to inflict heavy damage on this beast, it won't be able to escape!"

"The Naval Brotherhood will avenge us!"

Holding the psychology of burning jade, the sailors opened fire fiercely.

The eight rapid-fire cannons all turned to the lightning skeleton, and without bothering to fire at its tentacles, which were ravaging and destroying the hull, they aimed at its torso, firing angry and hot shells.
