Chapter Twenty-Five: The Trumpet of the Sun
"40meters! )”
"30meters! )
“It’s_all_around,lads! Radar_must_be_broken!
(The signal is all over the screen, the radar must be broken!) The Manta Ray Squad members grumbled angrily.
While Hong Yuesheng continued to manipulate the Exosuit and wrestle with the king squid, she completely abandoned her reliance on radar and devoted herself to chasing the new danger signals in the darkness according to the previous method of meditation practice.
“20meters! (Twenty meters!)" The team continued to be on the alert.
"Down there." Hong Yuesheng opened her eyes, still thinking about the specific location of the newcomer in her heart, and whispered.
"Huh?" Arya hadn't gotten it yet.
"Down there!!" Hong Yuesheng loudly warned the surrounding team members through the communicator.
The red-haired Arya looked at Hong Yuesheng, the boy who had always shown an unexpected side.
“10meters! (Ten meters!) The team next to him reported.
“Get_rid_of_the_spear,withdraw!
(All the team members let go of the harpoons and retreated at full speed!) She decided to take the risk and believe in him one more time.
Although the team members didn't understand why they had to give up after locking up the king squid, the military order fell like a mountain, and everyone lifted the lock of the speargun on the harpoon rope in their hands and retreated behind them. With a "bang, bang", the tail end of the harpoon rope sprayed out from the muzzle of the gun, and as soon as the king squid regained its strength advantage, it instantly threw away several members of the team with slow hands, including Bonnie, who was thrown above the squid, and the troll's huge war drum-like eyes purred like a black hole and followed Bonnie's position, and finally stopped and stared at her, his eyes were chilling. The continuous tumbling made Bonnie unable to judge his direction for a moment, and before he could catch his breath, the thick tentacles of the king squid whipped like lightning. Unexpectedly, the green snake next to him unusually exploded and drove his Exosuit towards Bonnie.
Bang!!
The green snake hit Bonnie headon, originally just wanted to push her away, but he didn't expect Bonnie to be tall and plump, compared to the green snake is skinny, this head hit Bonnie's Exosuit armor, although he barely knocked Bonnie away, but also knocked himself dizzy, fortunately did help Bonnie escape.
The green snake's eyes spun around like a wave drum, and when it was easy to stabilize, she found Bonnie hugging him tightly, and the mist caused by the violent wheezing was enveloping her diving mask, through which the green snake could see tears in Bonnie's eyes.
The first blow missed, but the king squid did not give up, and the second attack followed. Bonnie and Green Snake knew that they were in danger this time, so they had to close their eyes and hug each other tightly......
Blood surrounded Bonnie and the Green Serpent, but it wasn't their own blood.
The sonar radar had been completely filled with biological signals, and just below the area where everyone had moved away, a huge bloody mouth appeared, so big that it could devour and bite half of the body of the king squid from the bottom up, and only the lower jaw had sharp teeth, and the upper jaw only had conical holes "pierced" by the lower jaw teeth. Blood spurted from the King Squid's jaw-impaled wound, and the blood was a terrifying jet-black color, spraying like a high-pressure faucet filled with ink, all over the faces of the surrounding team members.
“Keep_withdraw! Don’t_stop!”
(Keep retreating!) Don't stop! )”
Even though the red-haired Arya was covered in the black blood of the king squid, including her diving mask, she still did not forget to tell her subordinates. In fact, her own heart was stimulated by this series of frightes and almost collapsed, but she will never forget her responsibility as a captain, and she can't make the team aware of the fear in her heart.
With trembling hands, she quickly wiped the blood from her mask, and through the cracks between her fingers, she saw the new beast: its back was dark gray in the sea, its belly was silvery, no less massive than the giant body of the king squid, and there were irregular white patches on its flanks.
The large disproportionate square head, which occupies one-third of the total length of the body, is devouring the tail of the squid from the bottom up, while the triangular tail fin is light and small compared to the head, and the body is streamlined, like a giant tadpole that has been magnified tens of thousands of times.
"Sperm_whale (is a sperm whale) ......"
The red-haired Arya had only seen a virtual sperm whale target in an undersea military simulation training, and it was the first time she had caught up with a living creature today. The sperm whale and the king squid are natural enemies, and they have become each other's demons in the long history of biological evolution and tens of thousands of years of confrontation.
Not to be outdone, the king squid that had just been attacked by surprise was no longer clinging to Bonnie and the green snake, but instead used its thick ten tentacles to wrap around the sperm whale's head, leaning on the annular serrations on the dozens of circular suction cups on the tentacles to pierce deeply into the sperm whale's skin.
The two sea beasts swayed and rolled violently in the water, forming a swirling whirlpool, stirring the turbid waves in the sea, and the surviving human beings were like leaves in the autumn wind, blown away by the raging waves.
"Protect_ZhongJiu (protect Nakahisa)!"
The red-haired Arya did not forget to tell the tank girl, who was gritting her teeth at this time, grabbing Zhong Jiu, who was being held on her shoulder, and relying on the jet device behind her to fight against the huge shock wave that was coming on her face.
The two giant beasts fought to the death, sinking to the bottom of the sea from above the sea, the sperm whale tightened its tail and generated a strong pressure hoping to crush the body of the king squid, and the tentacles of the squid showed fierce power, waving wildly like Nezha, who had three heads and six arms in each hand of the evil weapon in Buddhist mythology, cutting deep wounds on the sperm whale's body. After slashing one of the whale's eyes, it finally escaped from the sperm whale's mouth and scurried underwater. But the good times didn't last long, and the sperm whale quickly caught up with it and slammed into the body of the king octopus with its wide head. But the king squid seized an opportunity and successfully wrapped around the entire head of the sperm whale, and one of the tentacles clamped the whale's nostrils, suffocating the whale.
Originally, the sperm whale had not much oxygen left in its body, and it was choked again, which made it panic. The whale swayed, trying to get rid of the king squid, but as soon as the squid gained power, it would never give up the opportunity, but tightened it tighter and tighter.
The whale then desperately swam to the surface of the sea again, and the members of the manta ray team were about to take advantage of the opportunity of the giants to sink and rise quickly, but before they could swim far, the two entangled giants swept past the team members again, and ran above the team members instead.
The king squid does not have any inflatable tissue structure, so the water pressure does not put pressure on its body, whether it rises or falls rapidly. But the hemocyanin (the compound that transports oxygen) in its body becomes inefficient in warm water, and as it rises to the surface quickly, the water temperature rises, causing its muscles to slowly become loose and weak. Of course, the sperm whale does not understand these truths, but the instinct of a creature allows it to naturally understand how to fight against a predestined adversary.
But the whale didn't rise fast enough, leaving enough strength for the king squid, whose sucker saws were sucking the whale's life little by little, strangling the enemy in the crook of the arm.
In this eternal darkness of the deep sea, human beings are unusually small and cannot avoid the legendary beasts. Only Hong Yuesheng was trying to fight against the strong current and protect his companions, while carefully observing the vicious fight between the two monsters, when he saw the whale biting the squid's body and using the method of sprinting to the surface of the water to fight the squid and have a certain effect, he remembered the story that Emily told just now. "We can't go up too fast...... Otherwise......"
"Bang!" She made an explosive onomatopoeia: "It's going to be like 'Orps' lover"! ”
"Orps' lover." Hong Yuesheng muttered to herself.
Finally, the strength of the whale became weaker and weaker, and its struggle became weaker and weaker, and it no longer had the strength to sprint upwards, but instead fell into the water.
Hong Yuesheng flipped the power switch of his Exosuit and swam in the direction of the two sea monsters above.
"Hong Yuesheng, what are you doing?!" Emily, who was next to her, was frightened.
The red-haired Arya also noticed Hong Yuesheng's abnormal behavior, and shouted at him in Yaning: "Hong Yuesheng! Don't come nonsense?! Stop, it's an order! ”
The king squid fell down with the sperm whale, and its strength was restored, so it raised one of its sharpest tentacles and aimed it at the whale's eye, ready to thrust in with a final blow to kill the whale. Due to suffocation and pain, the whale's eyes are gradually losing their lustre, and their eyes are scattered, and in the last brilliance, Hong Yuesheng who rushed up is reflected......
Hong Yuesheng turned on his full power, and at the moment when the king squid raised its tentacles, it rushed straight to its abdomen, due to the previous melee, the king squid's tentacle hook and grasp ability was indeed not as good as before, and it was hit so hard by Hong Yuesheng that it was really knocked open. Hong Yuesheng not only did not leave, but tightly pressed against the squid's body, and under the impetus of the jet device, he passed by the whale that had lost the squid's restraint and fell, pushing the squid to rush towards the water.
The king squid was stunned by this sudden change all of a sudden, but then reacted and immediately waved its tentacles to attack Hong Yuesheng, fortunately Hong Yuesheng was in its abdomen and it was not easy to exert force, and the human volume was very small compared to the huge size of the king squid, and it didn't take full force to hit it. But even so, several tentacles slapped on the back of the Exosuit, like a whipping, Hong Yuesheng's back was in a hot pain, the wound of the newly transplanted mechanical heart had not healed in the first place, and this time it was torn, Hong Yuesheng gritted his teeth, but did not leave because of this - once he made up his mind, no one could make him change his mind.
“This_crazy_guy!
(This madman!) The red-haired Arya looked up at the figure of Hong Yuesheng who looked like she was facing an asteroid, and her heart was like a mess.
"Hong Yuesheng......" Emily also looked at the direction of Hong Yuesheng in a daze.
The white tiger passed by her at this time, manipulating the Exosuit to swim in the direction of Hong Yuesheng.
"You're going too!?" Emily asked.
"If you go to the second master, I'll go." The white tiger turned around and said with a smile, and then swam out, but he didn't know what he remembered, and immediately turned back, his face turned purple, and he said thoughtlessly: "Don't listen to their nonsense before, I think the vacuum beauty is very good." After saying that, he drove the Exosuit awkwardly, and even the left and right sprays were uneven, and he swam staggering in the direction of Hong Yuesheng.
"Huh?" Emily stayed where she was for a moment, not understanding for a moment, and then looked down to see her wide Exosuit wetsuit, because her flat chest could not support the wetsuit corset made for a standard Meda Busoa woman, and it was swaying like a wave, and her face turned red.
Watching the white tiger swim upward, the green snake grabbed Bonnie's hand, and wanted to leave several times but was reluctant to let go, but when he came back and wanted to go, he couldn't press the power button in his hand. After a few hesitations, he finally looked back at Bonnie beside him.
"I ......"
Bonnie smiled and placed his hand on the upper lip of the green snake's mask, "Needless to say, I'll go with you." ”
The green snake hid behind the head of the diving mask, dripping a big drop of sweat, and thought to himself, "What if I just said I didn't want to go?" ……”
At this time, Hong Yuesheng, who was alone with the king squid rising, began to flash red alarm messages on the electronic screen of the diving mask in front of him, and both aspects were close to the limit. His own chest began to ache sharply, and the mechanical heart was overloaded with insufficient blood supply, leaving him with a suffocating tightness and heavy wheezing. At the same time, the king squid began to use the serrations on its tentacle suction cups to cut through the exterior armor of the Exosuit, pulling the armor off piece by piece. Once the armor is shattered, Hong Yuesheng will definitely die, so he must push the squid high enough to the surface of the sea before destroying himself.
"Cut! The power of one person, is it still not good? ……”
A sharp pain in his chest caused him to bend his body, and the upward momentum immediately decreased. Just when he felt desperate, with a "bang", another person rushed through the tentacles of the king squid and pressed against the squid's abdomen with him.
"White Tiger?!" Hong Yuesheng turned her head to look at him: "Who asked you to come with me!" ”
The white tiger stupidly said "hehe" twice, and only then did the green snake and Bonnie also fall to the other side of Hong Yuesheng and join the ranks.
"The second in charge, a difficult person like us, it's not so easy to get rid of!" The green snake looked nervous, but he had to be reckless in front of his brother and the woman he loved, and he barely managed to squeeze out a joke.
“LET’S_ROCK! (The party begins!) Bonnie shouted with a wink at Hong Yuesheng.
Before Hong Yuesheng could answer their words, another person had already rushed between him and the white tiger, it was Emily.
"I'll settle accounts with you when I get back." Emily didn't forget to scold the white tiger and the green snake.
"I'm alone, and I have nothing to worry about." Hong Yuesheng looked at Emily: "But you don't have to go to death with me!" ”
Emily pressed her hand on the back of Hong Yuesheng's hand, her voice trembling with fear and nervousness, but still firm: "You are no longer just a person. ”
Hong Yuesheng looked at them left and right, laughed, and no longer dissuaded.
In the red-haired Arya below, seeing that including the other team members, more and more people sprayed pale blue water jets on their backs, swimming upwards to join Hong Yuesheng's ranks, and the sound of many engines gathered together like the sound of horns in the sky. Some of them were knocked away by the squid before it could come into contact with it, and then the followers followed suit, and the lights of their equipment reflected off Arya's diving mask like a multitude of twinkling meteors following a hot star.
The "Orps' Lover" tactic represents a pun, albeit in a different principle, that it is not just the enemy who suffers, but all the people inside who do not end well - while defeating the enemy, the air in the body that rises rapidly can also kill themselves.
The tank girl carried Nakaku on her shoulder and swam to the red-haired Arya. Look at her, then look above the sea, and then look back at her.
"Sigh!" Arya shrugged her shoulders helplessly and sighed:
“Go,give_ZhongJiu_to_me.
(Go ahead and give me Nakaku.) )”
The tank girl's eyes immediately flashed with a gleam of eagerness, and she easily unloaded Nakaku, who was wearing a heavy exosuit, from her shoulders, and helped her in the water to Arya, and then impatiently squirted a huge jet of water and rushed straight in the direction of the rising king squid.
Arya looked at the distant figure of the tank girl in a daze, and then looked down at Zhongjiu.
"Purr ~ Purr ~ " I thought that Nakaku would continue to pass out, but I didn't expect this guy to fall asleep in the Exosuit!! Harazi was still running down his mouth.
“Shit! All_men_are_on_the_way_heading_to_death,why_not_to_be_reckless_at_least_once!!
(Hell, people are on the road to death, so what's the impulse!!) She said as she handed over Nakahisa to the only member of the team who was still with her.
“Aliya?
(Arya, you?) The team didn't understand what Arya, who was always calm and almost never reckless, was going to do.
Rumble! With a bang, Arya also activated her jetpack.
This is the first time in her life that the red-haired Arya has broken her own principles and supported a reckless and obstinate foreigner.
She took aim and followed the dazzling star.
