Chapter 113: The Sea Centipede (1)

A melodious whistle sounded, and the powerful propeller at the tail of the 10,000-ton giant ship stirred the sea water into huge waves, pushing its huge body forward.

The Xinyun followed the course indicated on the charts, trying to avoid the flickering bright spots shown above, for those were terrible reefs below the surface, and even if your hull was as hard as steel, you would not be a match for those hard reefs, and you would still be sinked.

In order to avoid the time bomb-like reefs in the sea, the 10,000-ton ship had to make a big bend to sail.

The underwater digital imager and the underwater searchlight for illumination were also turned off, which was to save electricity.

When the freighter sailed to the water area where Yang Jun and the others had just come, the underwater sonar detection system sounded again, and at the same time, a long, prismatic bright thing appeared on the radar display screen.

It was a long, shiny thing, pointed at both ends, wider in the middle, and its edges were blurred, and it was not much longer than a hundred meters.

Yang Jun and the others hurriedly ran to the radar detection display screen, and several eyes were all focused on it.

"This ............! What the hell is this?! ”

Captain Cheng Yuan hurriedly ordered: "Turn on the underwater digital imager and searchlight!" ”

"The speed is 2 knots, and the course is the same!" Captain Cheng Yuan instructed the first mate driving the freighter again.

Through the display, you can see that in the dim sea water, from time to time, some silver scales from the swimming fish shine, these lights are like ghost fires in the wilderness on a summer night, emitting an evil halo at this time.

The underwater bright searchlight shines only a few tens of meters away, and the light beyond the illumination range is replaced by dimness.

However, although there was only a distance of a few tens of meters, Yang Jun, Company Commander Wang and others could clearly see through the high-definition digital imager what the thing hidden below the sea surface was.

This thing, a monster that you can't even dream of, maybe it's a creature from another planet, or maybe it's a sea monster that has mutated from the nuclear raw materials scattered by a sunken nuclear submarine.

In short, this creature, you have never seen before.

Since you can't see the whole monster, you can only see a part of it, and just from the part you see, you can preliminarily conclude that the general shape and size of this sea creature are preliminarily determined.

In appearance, its head is flattened and triangular, and the front of its body looks like a semicircle, and in the place of its head there is a large, long thing that looks like a cleft mouth, which may be a huge mouth, and behind its head are many black dots arranged in a regular manner, like its eyes.

On either side of its body, there are centipede-like claws, each of which is covered with furry activity.

Upon closer inspection, it was surprising that these furry things turned out to be .....................

This furry thing turned out to be some small monsters, their shape was exactly the same as that huge monster, but the size was more than thousands of times smaller, and it was now clinging to the legs of the huge monster, gathering on both sides of its body, arranged in the shape of centipede claws.

"Oh my God! It's a sea centipede! You can't go wrong! Cheng Yuan, the captain on the side, suddenly said at this time.

Listening to his tone, it was clear that he knew this monster called a sea centipede, and was very afraid of it.

Although Yang Jun didn't know what the creature in front of him was, let alone how threatening this thing was, he could vaguely hear from Captain Cheng Yuan's words just now that this thing was definitely not a good thing.

"What? Comrade Cheng, have you ever seen this thing before, and you know that this thing is called a sea centipede?! Yang Jun turned his head and looked at Cheng Yuan suspiciously.

Listening to Yang Jun's words, Captain Cheng Yuan paused slightly, a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, his eyes were still staring at the thing, and he slowly said to Yang Jun: "Yes, this sea creature is indeed a sea centipede, this creature only lives in the deep sea, and it is generally difficult to be seen, and the one I saw before is far less than the huge ............ now." ”

Then he said: "This is a long story, it was when I was a child, I saw it when I was fishing at sea with my grandfather, but the length of the sea centipede I saw at that time was only more than two meters............ ”

Speaking of this, the captain Cheng Yuan hurriedly said to Yang Jun: "Brother Yang, I think we are in big trouble today, you had better let the soldiers take all the weapons, I think this kind of thing generally does not appear easily, one is affected by the water quality of the surrounding seas, and the other is affected by the volcanic activity under the sea, which makes them float to the shallow water layer for activity." ”

After hearing this, Yang Jun asked a little skeptically, "Lao Cheng, is this thing really as powerful as you say?" ”

Captain Cheng Yuan stared at the sea centipede still lurking in the reef on the bottom of the sea and nodded.

Seeing this, Yang Jun already knew the seriousness of the situation, and thought to himself, even if this thing doesn't hurt people, he must be prepared on his side to prevent possible accidents, otherwise I am afraid that it will really be in a hurry.

After thinking about it, he turned his head to the three people beside him, Commander Wang, and said, "Brother Wang, the three of you have also heard what Captain Cheng said just now, now you should hurry up and prepare weapons, in case of accidents and sudden incidents, and prevent accidents and pre-burning." ”

Company Commander Wang, Company Commander Tong and Company Commander Zheng of course knew that the situation was not optimistic, so they were careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, so they nodded one after another and hurriedly walked into the cockpit.

Looking at the backs of Company Commander Wang and the three of them, Yang Jun couldn't help but ask again: "Old Cheng, is the sea centipede really as powerful as you just said?" We were as nervous as if we were facing a great enemy. ”

Captain Cheng Yuan nodded after hearing this, and said to him with a grim face: "Yes, I'll tell you more about it later, and you'll understand ............... when you finish listening to what I said." ”

Yang Jun nodded, and then stopped speaking, just staring at the sea monster on the display screen.

Company Commander Wang and the other three led everyone to get their weapons from the cabin.

The 10,000-ton giant ship continued to move forward slowly, for fear of waking up the sea centipedes lying in the depths of the seabed, and the uninvited guests did not seem to have noticed them, and still did not move half a step in the place where the reef was overgrown.

Captain Cheng Yuan looked at the huge sea centipede and did not relax his vigilance, but ordered to the observer: "Xiao Xu, continue to observe, and report to me as soon as there is any movement!" ”

Xiao Xu, the observer, agreed, and continued to observe the huge sea centipede lying on the bottom of the sea.

Yang Jun turned his head and asked Captain Cheng Yuan, "Captain Cheng, is this a sea centipede..................?" ”

Captain Cheng Yuan did not directly answer Ying Yangjun's question, but glanced above the deck through the porthole on the cockpit of the freighter.

When he saw that Company Commander Wang and the others were already fully armed, his heart was a little more relaxed, and he turned his head to look at Yang Jun and said, "Alas, ............! This is now more than 20 years ago. ”

"In the summer of that year, I was only 10 years old, and I went out to sea with my grandfather's fishing boat, which was a 100-horsepower sailing boat, about 50 meters long, and there were 10 crew members on board, all of whom were very good at water.

My grandfather was the captain of that ship, just like I do now.

Of the ten men, several were relatives, two uncles and two uncles and a third uncle, and the rest were from the village.

The sailboat piloted by my grandfather was a wooden sailboat with a rudder more than half a meter high at the back of the fishing boat, which was used to control the course of the boat.

The cabin was very hot and humid inside, so there were a lot of cockroaches in it.

You don't think much of it during the day, but at night, the creatures hidden in the dark corners will come out of the burrows one by one.

These cockroaches are huge in shape, dark brown in color, and the size of each one is about 3 centimeters, and some cockroaches can fly several meters away by themselves.

There was only one kerosene lamp in the cabin, and the light was not very bright, and the net was not closed at night anyway, and no one would use it to read a book.

The second uncle and the third uncle are more burly, the eldest uncle and the second uncle are two thin old men, although they are thin, they are very energetic, and the third uncle is the youngest and is a fat man.

They were very tired from fishing during the day, and after dinner, it was common for them to chatter and tell stories under the kerosene lamps, and they would fall asleep one after another in a short time.

The summer evenings were very hot, and even if you didn't work, you would sweat all over, so everyone who slept in the cabin was shirtless, wearing tank tops and trousers.

And those cockroaches are free to roam back and forth on their bodies, legs, arms and faces, as if they have no scruples.

Sometimes I'm really afraid that my second uncle will eat the disgusting old cockroach when he sleeps with his mouth open.

Whenever I saw this, I would be so frightened that I didn't dare to take a breath, and I covered myself tightly with the gray military blanket, for fear of finding the slightest opportunity for these annoying fellows.

The temperature in the blanket also rose one after another, and the whole body was sweating like washing, and it was very uncomfortable to lie down, and I regretted how much I went to sea with it.

When my grandfather saw me like this, he smiled and said to me, "What are you afraid of?" These old cockroaches can't eat one of your toes, it's really not good, don't follow you next time you go to sea, so as not to suffer foreign crimes.

Grandpa said that, but no one would keep a disgusting cockroach as a pet, even though they don't bite.

One day, we came to a small island and listened to my grandfather tell them what it was called Linglong Reef.

The reef is very large, about 100 meters long, and it stands in a ring in the middle of the sea.

Just as he was about to close the net, the second uncle suddenly pointed to a black-gray thing on the edge of the reef with many feet on both sides of his body and said, "Look! What's the stuff on the reef? How do you look like a centipede? ”

At that time, the grandfather didn't know that this kind of thing was a sea centipede, so he said to the second uncle: "Hurry up and work!" What do you care about it, what do you want, quickly collect this net, and we will rush back before it gets dark! ”

After hearing this, the second uncle agreed, and then ignored it anymore, but was busy untying the net and starting the winch that collected the net.

The powerful machine with a roar kept tightening the rope of the trawl, and gradually it became tighter and tighter, and one could see the fishing net being pulled up when one stood at the stern of the boat.

At first, the strange thing lying on the bright reef was motionless, as if it was dead, but when the second uncle started the winch, the centipede-like monster quickly burrowed into the sea and disappeared.

I looked at it in my eyes and asked my grandfather who was busy in confusion: "Grandpa, grandpa, that thing ran into the water and disappeared!"

Grandpa turned to look at me and said, "If you run, you will run!" Hurry up and get into the cabin, the grown-ups are working here, don't touch you! ”

I said yes, but I didn't go far.

Suddenly.......................................

A scream came to my ears, and I heard the sound like the second uncle in the stern of the boat.

It turned out that the second uncle, who was collecting the net, was bitten on the thigh by a monster that suddenly came out of the sea.

The second uncle grabbed the net in pain and pulled back desperately.

There was already blood on one of the left legs.

I was brave enough to play it secretly.

The winch had stopped at the moment, apparently having been turned off.

Tianna, in front of him, there was a black monster nearly two meters long, with many claws, it was the centipede-like thing that was basking in the sun on the reef just now.

It climbed up the rope of the trawl.

This monster looks very much like a centipede on land, but it is much larger, and unlike a centipede, its color is not dark red or dark green, but the kind of black gray, with some black spots on it, and its body is divided into many knots like a shrimp, and there is a pair of claws like crabs in each node.

Its belly is white, covered with flaky feet, and it is swinging wildly, and those centipede legs-like paws are constantly scratching, which makes people feel uncomfortable when they look at it.

The monster's head was flattened and triangular, with a pointed beak, a large hook-like mouth growing horizontally, covered with many jagged sharp teeth, and a pair of small black eyes on its head, which radiated a fierce and murderous light
