Section 271 Priority
He Daji asked Lin Chuan for help in two things, the first was to try to repair the Donghai Bridge, and the second was to go to Yongzhou, opposite Zhoushan Island, to find the whereabouts of a monster.
Lin Chuan was completely able to understand the reason why he did the first thing.
The advent of mutant cetaceans has made sailing between the mainland and the islands a very dangerous operation.
They are the undisputed overlords of the sea, moving quickly and with the power to destroy a qiΔ, and even more terrifyingly, some of them have even alienated into huge pectoral fins that can walk briefly on land, and any creature that provokes them will be crushed to pieces by the huge body.
Perhaps the port of Yangshan can rely on missiles and torpedoes to wipe out some of them, but for the population of the entire ocean, such a result is meaningless.
In China alone, there are more than 30 known species of cetaceans, and although most of them are included in the list of endangered animals before the end of the world, according to the available data, there are nearly 10,000 cetaceans operating in the western Pacific Ocean alone before the end of the world.
It is not known how many of them have successfully mutated, but it is clear that the number that has been seen will not be a small number.
On the contrary, the number of mutated creatures on land in the Jianghai area has been greatly reduced by the bombing of Chongzhou Island and the tireless hunting of Lin Chuan, and judging from the number of mutated creatures that have died in front of the position since the landing, it seems that it is not a dream to hold such an important place as the Donghai Bridge.
The only problem is that when they fled to Yangshan last year, in order to prevent the monsters from following them, they blew up the bridge that was nearly 150 meters deep in the water. And it's not just the bridge deck. They didn't even spare things like piers and pads below the water's surface.
"It is said that the average depth of water is about 12 meters." He Daji told SΓΉ Lin Chuan, which may mean that even if the natural damage is not considered. In order to connect Yangshan to Jianghai, they needed to put more than 100,000 tons of concrete into that place.
This is not a problem for Jianghai, which was already highly industrialized before the end of the day, but with the existing strength of Jianghai and Yangshan Port, it is almost impossible to complete such a huge project in a short period of time.
"We can make small pieces of collapsed buildings and fill them in, which of course won't be very stable and not very pretty, but it should be able to barely get through to traffic after compaction."
"Have you thought about it? There's no way that thing can withstand a mutant whale hit. Lin Chuan asked.
He had been to the place where the Tokai Bridge had been blown up before. He was no stranger to that place, and he had no objection to the method described by He Daji.
However, the entire Donghai Bridge is more than 30 kilometers long, cutting off the sea surface between Yangshan and Jianghai. It's unrealistic to expect those mutant whales to never pass by.
Compared to their massive bodies, the Tokai Bridge is as thin as a rope on the surface of the sea, and once a large amount of material passes over it, the smell or other things left behind attract whales and attract attacks.
"They promised me that they would figure it out. Reduce the amount of tonggu or use a certain chemical that whales hate. They're thinking of things like that, but it's up to us to tear down the houses and reclaim the sea. "He Daji doesn't look too sure." It won't be too much trouble anyway, they've already found some construction machinery and trucks, they just need us to protect and act as a crane at some point. β
"There's no problem with that." Lin Chuan knew very well that things were unlikely to be as simple as He Daji said, especially in the last days when everything had been completely destroyed, and when this matter began to run, the things that needed to be done by him and He Daji would definitely pile up.
But he was not averse to such things in the first place, and he had already done many of the same things. If this can really benefit the hundreds of thousands of people in Yangshan Port, he doesn't mind putting in some effort.
He couldn't understand why He Daji had to look for a monster.
"It's capable of commanding other monsters." He Daji said to him. "I believe that the monster tide that swept along the coastline from the Left Sea and was eventually wiped out at Zhoushan was commanded by it. I didn't see its corpse in Zhoushan and Daishan. If it runs, maybe it won't be long before it returns with more monsters. β
He described to Lin Chuan how he met it, and Sun Jing told Lin Chuan how he followed them all the way from Zuohai to Zhoushan.
"It's completely different from other monsters." As long as she thought of that monster, Sun Jing couldn't suppress her fear, a feeling she had only ever had when facing Ivanov. "I think it's wise."
"Maybe it's someone like us who received a gift from Wang Zhi." Lin Chuan finally came to such an inference. "But it didn't work out."
This conclusion made him feel a little gloomy, he might have been one of them, maybe he would have been more capable than Lin Chuan and He Daji, but he didn't have enough luck.
"If that's the case, we have to look for it first." He finally said so.
Both seem equally urgent, but the bridge won't move, and if those who lobby Ho claim to find a way to get the whales out, it will be easier to repair the bridge if they succeed, and even, if it's useful enough, they can even isolate the whales from Lin'an Bay.
But the intelligent mutant was different.
If it really had both intelligence and abilities beyond that of a second-level bloodliner, it might have been hundreds of kilometers away by now. On the other hand, if it really has intelligence, maybe it will learn enough from this defeat, then it will probably attack them in a completely different way next time, and that's where the danger lies.
"Can you tell what it smells like?" Lin Chuan asked.
"I can only barely give it a try, it has always been in the center of the monster tide, and it must be mixed with many other scents that are difficult to separate." He Daji replied. Of course he remembered the smell of the monster, but it couldn't be described in words, and it couldn't be conveyed to anyone else by any means.
"If that's the case, we'll just be in the same group." Lin Chuan said. "It's going to be a lot less efficient."
"We'd better not be separated." He Daji said. "You have just been resurrected, and your power is far from at its peak. And I'm only about level two. When I was killed by it, my strength was close to the peak of level 2, but I couldn't stop it from striking at will. β
"And how are you going to kill it?" Lin Chuan asked.
"We found several 'Donghai-11' missiles in the fleet arsenal at Wusong Port, and it is said that the shooting accuracy is within 50 meters, and the power is amazing." He Daji replied. "As long as you can find it, you can kill it by passing the coordinates back."
"Then let's do it!" Lin Chuan nodded. "Don't waste any more time." (To be continued......)
