Chapter 142: The Fire of St. Elmo
"That'...... What is that? Beluga Dick? Lao Gu asked dumbfounded.
"Nonsense...... An adult beluga whale is only three to five meters old...... Then, how could that thing be a white whale," Qin Zhen said in a trembling voice.
It's still far away, and I can't see it clearly. The huge white object that just jumped out of the water, it may be a bit exaggerated to say that it is thirty meters long, but the length of more than twenty meters is definitely up to the standard.
He Xi also said before that the dragon soldiers she found in Huang Bohai were not as big as the Antarctic Ningen that Yudong said. Now it seems that it is indeed a little smaller.
But even if it's one size smaller, the twenty-meter-long body size is enough to be terrifying! And Qin Zhen just roughly estimated that there must be more than ten of those guys, to say the least! Not to mention the huge size, there is also a huge disparity between them in terms of numbers. In this way, a few of them are trapped on this reef and are really waiting to die.
Those huge white humanoid monsters, like white giants floating up in the deep sea, swam towards this reef in a regular manner.
Qin Zhen looked in that direction and couldn't help but take two steps back and said, "This, this is Ningen!" That's right, it must be that kind of monster...... Judging from their size, after surrounding this reef, they can completely destroy this place! We can't run now...... That ......"
Without waiting for Qin Zhen to finish speaking, Lao Gu clenched his fists, gritted his teeth reluctantly and said, "Then, let's do it!" Before they can swim over, find some lethal self-defense. ”
In fact, saying this is the same as not saying it, it is purely for courage!
What lethal things can be found on a reef on this sea? Even if you want to smash a few stones to defend yourself, what kind of "sharp weapon" can you find? And from Qin Zhen's heart, treat those things that are more than twenty meters long. Ordinary knives and guns don't work at all. Not to mention that they don't, and even if they do, it's just decoration.
The monsters always floated up and down on the surface of the sea in a downward-facing posture. What made Qin Zhen sincerely frightened was what the shape and face of the twenty-meter giant would look like......? Do they also have human features? Will it also open its bloody mouth? Ningen's long face has to be on top of a hut. If you really have facial features...... Qin Zhen felt that he couldn't even imagine how terrifying that huge face should be.
As soon as he thought that he was about to be devoured, Qin Zhen felt chills all over his body. If they wanted not to die, the bottomless abyss seemed to be the only place where they could hide from Ningen. At least, these guys can't get down.
But...... Qin Zhen himself felt that his idea was not very realistic. If you want to persuade Yudong, I'm afraid it's not an easy task.
But at this moment, Qin Zhen inadvertently glanced back and found something even more incredible!
"Old, old...... What's that on your head?! Qin asked in shock.
Lao Gu looked up and found that there was nothing. Just as he was about to reach out and touch his head in surprise, Yudong rushed forward with an arrow step. pushed away Lao Gu. And the abnormality that Qin Zhen saw also disappeared.
What Qin Zhen just saw...... It's Gu Jie who has a fire on his head! A blue-white flame...... This, this is incredible! The shock was even stronger than that of Ningen, who was not far away!
Looking at Qin Zhen's stammering appearance, Yu Dong patted him and said, "Don't worry, although this is a very rare phenomenon, it is still a natural phenomenon, you don't have to be so afraid, Gu Jie will be fine." ”
"No, will it be okay? If it weren't for you. I guess he's going to be a roasted pig by now! That's fire! Does this count as spontaneous combustion? Qin Zhen still asked in a panic.
As soon as Lao Gu heard that he had almost become a roast pig, he also asked with trepidation: "What kind of fire...... I didn't feel any heat...... East less. What the hell is going on? ”
Yu Dong pointed to the gloomy sky and sea and said, "Look carefully, the sea and the sky have already begun to exist. It's not a bizarre phenomenon, and it's not fire, it's electricity, or ...... It is a type of plasma. This means...... There's a thunderstorm coming. As he spoke, Yu Dong looked into the distance with a long gaze.
"Thunderstorms? The flame that was swirling around Lao Gu's head just now...... Is it electricity? Qin Zhen said in surprise. Then he glanced at Lao Gu and said puzzledly: "Then why didn't you kill you?" ”
“…… Qin Zhen!! Your uncle's! You're desperate for me to die, aren't you? Lao Gu was obviously angry.
Qin Zhen realized that his words were wrong, and hurriedly explained, "No...... Don't get me wrong, brother. That blue flame is right above you! Does that not shock me? ”
Yu Dong calmly explained to Qin Zhen at this time: "The blue-white flame-like thing you just saw is called the Flame of St. Elmo. This phenomenon mostly occurs on the surface of the sea before thunderstorms. It can also happen at high altitudes and on airplanes. As long as this rare phenomenon occurs, it is almost certain that there will be a rare thunderstorm. And on the surface of the sea we have thunderstorms...... There are pros and cons. ”
Qin Zhen looked at Yudong with a bitter face and said, "The most taboo thing in thunderstorm weather is water, as well as a qiē water surface activity. But now we are trapped in the middle of the ocean. If it's a super individual thunderstorm, there's a half-chance of causing a waterspout...... Young Master, I beg you to tell me, where is our benefit? ”
Yu Dong calmly walked to the edge of the reef, pointed to the direction where Ningen was wandering just now, and said, "Although thunderstorms will bring danger to us, these artificial creatures will be more dangerous than us. Yu Dong said, narrowing his eyes slightly, as if he had a plan in his heart on how to get rid of Ningen.
Several people were thinking about what Yu Dong said, and it was indeed right to think about it. If that Ningen is really a man-made creature, then it may not be afraid of fire and water, not afraid of cold, not afraid of the pressure of the deep sea, and it doesn't matter if it is a knife, gun or bullet, but! There must be metal inside its body, and a strong thunderstorm is sure to kill them from the inside.
Many people know that people with a bad heart will be very afraid of the interference of lightning when they install a pacemaker. Of course, it was ordinary thunder and lightning. Once the thunderstorm above the sky exceeds a certain threshold and exceeds the collapse value, the metal in the body will become a deadly weapon!
This is what Yudong said, the pros and cons.
If the St. Elmo Fire really brought an unprecedented thunderstorm, it would probably give them a 50% chance of survival. Otherwise, they would almost never have survived.
The wind seems to be getting stronger. Those Ningen probably also noticed the abnormality of this sea area, and wandered in the deep water around them for a long time, but they did not get close. It can only be seen from the occasional splash on the surface of the water, which is always down and never leaves.
Lao Gu looked at the strange small flames in the sky and sea at this time, and asked Yu Dong incomprehensibly: "Dong Shao, I understand what you mean, but have you thought about it, that thunderstorm can kill this group of monsters, but it can also kill us!" I've never seen it so big, and there can still be flames floating above people's heads in the sky......"
Yu Dong indifferently continued: "If there is a boat here and a mast, then there must be one on it." It's normal that you haven't seen it, after all, it's a very rare and weird meteorological phenomenon. As for those monsters, we all have daggers on them, right? Take it out, and if the thunderstorm comes, I'll go and stick the dagger in the monster's body. That way, they don't even have the slightest chance to dodge. ”
After hearing this, Qin Zhen couldn't help but praise in his heart, Yudong even came up with the idea of leading thunder and conduction. I have to admit it, though, it's a good idea...... Because of such a large number of intelligent creatures, it is impossible for a few of them to defeat! They are human beings, not gods, mutated creatures that cannot be resisted or eliminated, so they can only be handed over to nature to deal with.
What's more, Ningen is an artificial species that exists against nature. It is reasonable to be born against the sky and finally destroyed by the sky.
It's just that now it can only be said that Yudong's idea is good. Whether the specific implementation is smooth or not depends on the final result.
The wind is getting stronger, and the sea is getting less and less calm. The blue and white flames, like naughty elves, jumped back and forth and floated on the sea and in the sky.
Yudong told them that although the fire of St. Elmo was harmless before the thunderstorm came, it was better to stay a little farther away from them now that the weather was getting worse and worse. Otherwise, it will not be good to "give back your own way to your own way...... I brought thunder to myself, so it's called injustice.
Lao Gu dodged left and right to avoid those flames, and said angrily: "Why does this have to revolve around me? Just because I'm tall, right? ”
"Eh, I said Dong Shao, just this little flame, I doubt their strength a little! That's twenty or thirty meters long! Can this gadget lead lightning to kill them? Obviously, Lao Gu is not very optimistic about these naughty "elves".
Yu Dong glanced at Lao Gu and said lightly: "The St. Elmo Fire is not common, but almost every time it appears, it will lead to a plane crash or a shipwreck. Because of the strong potential difference in the surroundings, the dielectric value is exceeded, so even the air becomes conductive. That's why we see this mass of plasma like fire. While it doesn't hurt anything on its own, the result of its conductive power is enough to slash any large aircraft. Therefore, the fire of St. Elmo is also known as the fire of hell during sea and air navigation. (To be continued......)
