Chapter 419: Meeting on a Narrow Road!
At the turn of the seasons, there is already warmth in the south, but the world in the north is still pale. Cold Iron City, a medium-sized city in the north.
In the past, the weather in the city was mostly gloomy, but today's sun is warm and lazy, making the cold snow on the ground a little more gentle.
The north wind blows, and the wind carries the breath of spring. The headquarters of the Northern Sailing Club is located here, in the heart of the city, next to the office buildings in the city center.
At this moment, in the basement of the headquarters, in a secret room, several responsible persons are talking in secret.
"The masked monster is going to die after all." One of the old men spoke, his hair gray, his eyes cloudy, his skin yellow, like an old tree about to die, and his face was covered with a frightening brown half.
"He alone can't fight against the entire mechanical race." The other person spoke, a middle-aged woman.
"The arrival of the undead has added a lot of variables to this world."
"The autonmen will not tolerate these variables."
"They will sweep away all the resistance forces before everything is completely out of control, including those so-called large gathering places of the human race, Dragon City, Lion City, Eagle City, Bear City, etc., nothing more, they will be destroyed." In the secret room, voices echoed, and everyone's voices were low, a little hoarse.
Their decision represents the entire nautical club.
"The emergence of variables has pushed the wheel of history."
"A new round of war is about to begin, but some people are still hoping for a ridiculous peace."
"They scolded us for our soft bones, but we don't know that in this variable, soft bones have a chance to survive, so what if they let them laugh a few times now?"
"In the end, they will find that their current hesitation and hesitation are the most ridiculous."
"Cyborgs only need the most loyal dogs."
"Once the war begins, their current neutrality will become a knife that will cut off their heads, and they will regret it......"
The "......" mask monster incident this time made many people smell that something was wrong. The quarrels between various neutral organizations on major platforms may be an accident, or perhaps because someone is behind the scenes, wanting to see what these organizations really think.
A few astute people are aware that the next all-out war is not far off. In this vigorous era, it is a joke that Mingzhe protects himself, no one can escape from the fire of war, and one side must be supported.
"The attitude of the Zero Tavern is not quite right, what do they have to rely on?" The old man's voice was low, a little gloomy and cold, as if it had come from a grave.
"They are indeed very strong, there is more than one sixth-level creature." The middle-aged woman said.
"Sixth-level creatures?" The young man next to him frowned,
"The so-called sixth-level creatures, before the cannon fire in the sky, are just cannon fodder that can hold out for a long time." In this world, there is a general perception.
Individual strength can never turn things around. No matter how powerful a creature is, if you want to conquer the world, you must assemble an equally strong team.
In the secret room, there was silence for a moment. The four words "Zero Tavern" are always one of the topics that large organizations are reluctant to mention.
It is also a neutral organization, but the Zero Tavern is detached, pressing all the organizations and overwhelming them.
In the past, it was not without an organization to fight against the Zero Tavern, but in the end, they all disappeared, and their industry and wealth finally became part of the Zero Tavern.
"After the advent of the psionic energy, there is no trace of the 'first' characters who rebuilt the Zero Point Tavern, and I suspect that they may be someone's doppelgangers, just a few false code names, not real people at all."
"Zero Tavern, could it be a bait deliberately supported by the mechanical clan?" The middle-aged woman frowned, tapped on the table, and made a point.
"Looks like I'm not the only one who thinks so." The young man next to him said.
"I've been in touch with the Sun Foundation." The other person spoke, a middle-aged man with an ordinary face.
"Who to contact? The mysterious president? β
"Hmm."
"What did he say?"
"He can't figure out the bottom of the Zero Point Tavern, so let's do it ourselves."
"Hmph, what do you mean by the Sun Foundation?" The old man snorted coldly, his eyes gloomy.
"That wall grass is probably going to fall to the other side, we don't have to worry about him, just do our own thing...... Following the Cyborgs, we're on the right track! β
"If so...... If you can catch the masked monster, then ......" In the secret room, it was suddenly quiet again, and no one spoke.
There is a very real problem in front of everyone. What should they do if they do catch the Maskeger?
Do you just hand over the masked monster to the cyborgs? Or do you want to figure out that mysterious thing on the masked monster first, and then hand it over to the automatons?
Since they have decided to reverse to the mechanical family, then they should choose the former one and turn it in directly. But...... Everyone in the secret room looked at each other, and they could see the unwillingness and a little entanglement in each other's eyes.
This time the matter is so big, in the final analysis, there is one reason - can the mysterious items on the masked monster really fight against the mech?
"Alas, forget it, it's useless to think so much, it's over, keep going." The middle-aged woman sighed, breaking the silence in the secret room.
"That masked monster is in the Southern Seas, and it's not something we can interfere with." As soon as she said this, the rest of the people in the secret room also sighed, and their expressions were very complicated.
In the face of reality, all kinds of fantasies seem so unrealistic. At this moment, there was a sudden knock at the door of the secret room.
"Knock knock knock ......" voice was very urgent, as if a face with an anxious expression could be seen through this voice.
The Chamber of Secrets is strictly confidential and secure, and no electronic devices are carried by any occupants in order to prevent eavesdropping by the Cyborgs.
Therefore, people from outside have no way to contact them, and they can only knock on the door when they encounter an emergency.
The knock on the door ...... "knock knock" sounded again, a short interval from the last one. In the room, everyone looked at each other, and finally the young man got up, went to the door, frowned slightly, and unlocked the complicated door.
He looked out the door and asked dissatisfiedly, "Didn't you say that there is nothing important, don't come to disturb us?" Outside the door, a man in a club staff uniform looked anxious, sweating profusely, out of breath, and his chest heaved for a while.
"Ministry...... The minister ......" His lips were white, he gasped, and said eagerly, "Yes...... It's the Mask Geek, and we've found him! β
"What?" The young man was stunned for a moment, and then a gleam broke out in his eyes. The rest of the room got up in unison, their faces either happy or a little incredulous, and they all walked towards the door.
They never imagined that in their own defense zone, they could really run into masked monsters! The odds are as small as winning the jackpot of 50 million!
"God help me! He's really coming! β
"Quick, at all costs, be sure to catch him!"
"He's just one person, no matter how strong he is, he can't run out of our defense zone, even if he can't catch him, as long as he holds on for a while, he can hold on until the mechanical clan arrives!" This is a real surprise, like a pie falling from the sky, directly on everyone's heads.
They are the overlords of the region, almost like the warlords of the old days, and the whole nautical club is here to speak.
With all the strength gathered, can't you deal with a masked monster?
"Say it! Where was he found? The old man, who looked like dead wood, seemed to be a little excited when he asked the first question, and his dry and terrifying hands grabbed the employee's shoulders with such force that they almost crushed the employee's shoulders.
"Shhh...... Minister...... I ......" The employee's face turned pale with pain, as if a pair of metal pliers had clamped his shoulders tightly, and even his voice trembled.
Seeing this, the middle-aged woman next to her showed a blank face, stretched out her hand and waved it hard, and with a snap, she directly slapped the old man's arm away.
"Old fellow, do you want to pinch him to death?" The middle-aged woman snorted coldly.
"Go directly to the headquarters upstairs to get the news, what are you doing to embarrass the employees of this department?" The middle-aged man also spoke in a bad tone.
"That's right! Let's go, go upstairs now! β
"This is providence, it is a surprise from God, we can't just miss it!" Everyone in the room moved and walked upstairs.
Of course, whether it will be a surprise or a fright, everything is not yet known. β¦β¦ Rewind the clock to half an hour ago.
Su Xia was having breakfast in the officer's cafeteria of the submarine. After nine days of wandering at the bottom of the sea, reading books became Su Xia's greatest pleasure, not only learning knowledge, but also killing time, which made him feel like he was back on campus for a while.
"It turns out that the working principle of the torpedo compartment is so simple, I used to think how mysterious it was." Su Xia smiled, although there has been no specific growth in strength in the past few days, there is really a lot of knowledge in his head.
He sometimes wonders if what he has learned in this world can be applied on the other side of the earth. In any case, this trip was very rewarding.
When he got back to Coral City, he would have to digest it for a while.
"Soon, it's already in the middle of the northern sea, and in a day or two you will reach the far northern sea." Su Xia clicked on the map and consulted it carefully.
"I've heard that there are many secrets in the Far North, and that there are hidden treasures that no one knows.
"The octopus monster Haidar told me before that there are some large hives in the far north, and the Zerg here have evolved the ability to withstand the cold, which is a very special branch of the Zerg.
"The jungle of alien plants found in the Zero Tavern is also close to the Far North.
"There is a rumor circulating that the Cyborg are in the Far North, and there are also some mysterious bases that seem to be doing unknown research...... "From the map, the entire Far North is shrouded in white.
There is a perennial wind chill, the temperature is always below freezing, the ground is covered with rough white ice crystals, and there is almost no sign of life.
Therefore, on this planet, the Far North has always been a symbol of mystery and remoteness. Now, Susha is ready to look for an opportunity to go ashore in this special area.
But...... Plans can't keep up with change. Su Xia had just eaten breakfast and was about to return to the command cabin when the entire submarine suddenly shook violently.
"Buzz-" To be precise, it was not the submarine that shook, but the sea water that shook violently. A huge and unknown force surged, startling a turbidity and setting off a terrifying undercurrent at the bottom of the sea at a depth of 10,000 meters.
The big submarine didn't have time to dodge, and hit this undercurrent head-on, tilting about 10 degrees on the spot, almost losing its balance.
"Drip-drip-drip-" The command lights inside the entire submarine turned dangerously red again, and sirens sounded.
Su Xia was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Sarah, what's the matter?" β
"Captain, I don't know." Sarah's brows furrowed, the undercurrent was so urgent that she didn't have time to react.
Outside the submarine, there was clearly no enemy, only a piece of turbid water. At this moment, an earth-shattering roar rang out in the depths of the ocean far away.
"Roar-" This voice is terrifying, terrifying, with a bit of antiquity and vicissitudes. Hearing this voice, Su Xia's heart suddenly chuckled.
It's a sea monster! At the bottom of the sea at a depth of 10,000 meters, no other creature could make such a sound except for that huge and terrifying giant monster.
"It's not the monster with tentacles, it's another sea monster!" Su Xia immediately made a judgment, and he heard the difference in the voice.
The roar just now was full of extreme anger, as if it had been stimulated by an undetectable phenomenon, and wanted to destroy everything!
The place where the voice came from was still some distance from the big submarine where Su Xia was. Obviously, it was not Su Xia who stimulated the sea monster, but someone else.
"Sarah, let's get out of the way now!" Su Xia ordered on the spot. An angry and crazy sea monster is enough of a headache.
What could provoke his anger was either another sea monster or the underwater equipment of humans or mechanical creatures.
Either way, Su Xia didn't want to run into it. The seabed in this northern sea is not deep, basically about 12,000 kilometers, which is shallower than the southern sea.
At this moment, the large submarine was driving almost against the seabed, with full power, speeding away from the area in the other direction, trying to get out of the chaos.
"Roarβ" In the distance, another terrible roar rang out, like a volcano about to erupt. As soon as he heard this voice, Su Xia had a bad premonition.
Because, this time, the location where the voice came from seems to be closer than the last time.
"Oh no, the sea monster is approaching us!" Su Xia's heart tightened,
"Sarah, change direction again!"
"Okay!" Sarah's face was serious, and she immediately carried out Susha's order. Through analysis and speculation, she chose a direction with the highest safety factor, and turned on the afterburner, trying to get the big submarine out of the monster.
But it didn't take long for a third roar to be heard. The distance between the two sides has not only not been shortened, but has become closer!
At the bottom of the murky and turbulent undercurrent, with the sea monster behind and the submarine in front, both sides are extremely fast, as if they are in a chase race.
"What about the sea monsters? Why are you chasing us? Su Xia frowned and thought,
"I have nothing to do with it, it's not supposed to be chasing me, is it this submarine?" Su Xia's heart sank, and she suddenly understood something.
In the animal kingdom, many animals have a habit of marking special items, such as dogs peeing on their own turf.
Previously, the sea monster full of tentacles must have left its own unique pheromones on this submarine.
The sea monster in the back is not chasing the submarine, but the pheromones left by the tentacle monster.
"Is there a feud between the two sea monsters?" Thinking of this, Su Xia was about to open his mouth and negotiate with the sea monster behind him.
But at this moment, he frowned, and suddenly behind the sea monster behind him, he felt more than a dozen different composite metal structures.
"Terran submarines!" The more than ten metal structures that Su Xia felt were all special submarines, which could operate under 10,000 meters of water.
β¦β¦ At this moment, in the rear, on one of the more than ten submarines, a young man looked excited and muttered in a low voice.
"What luck this time! Although he didn't make it to the masked monster, he found this deep-sea beast! "This deep-sea monster has extremely high scientific research value, and it can be said that it is full of treasures.
No matter who you are, as long as you can catch one of these giant beasts, you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself in a very short period of time and become the darling of the spotlight.
"Don't be in a hurry, follow slowly until this giant beast is exhausted!" The young man licked his mouth, in addition to excitement and excitement in his eyes, there was also a bit of greed, looking at the giant beast fleeing in front of him, as if he had seen his bright future.
"My ancestors were the captains of the valiant whaling ships......" he whispered to himself, "If I can hunt this beast, I will be able to regain the glory of my ancestors!" "In the process of the development of human civilization, the history of hunting and killing deep-sea giant beasts is quite long, as early as hundreds or even thousands of years ago, there were records of hunting deep-sea giant whales.
Of course, there are also many examples of being killed by giant beasts, as Melville's "Moby Dick" tells such a story.
