Chapter 420: Whale
The bottom of the sea was cloudy, the undercurrents were surging, and everything was not visible.
Floating debris was everywhere, and the entire ocean floor seemed to be about to be lifted up, and a giant sea monster hundreds of meters in size swam wildly in the chaos, stirring up more sediment from the bottom of the sea.
In front of this underwater behemoth is a large submarine that is moving at a rapid pace.
Behind the sea monster are more than a dozen small submarines in hot pursuit.
"Haha, you can't escape!"
On one of the small submarines, there was a confident and excited laugh.
The young man's eyes were burning and happy, and he stared at the fleeing sea beast in front of him, as if he were looking at a moving mountain of gold, and his eyes were about to glow.
"I didn't expect my luck to be so good!
"I accepted the mission this time, I thought it would be enough to make a show, after all, that masked monster is in the Southern Seas, and even if he is sick in the brain, he can't come to us.
"But I found this monster ......"
He was not in a hurry, he was quite confident, and he had already taken the sea monster in front of him as a bag.
This process can take a long time, perhaps several hours or days, but it can only be consumed slowly.
Whether it's catching a big fish or hunting for a whale, it takes a while to exhaust the prey, and then it can be harvested without slowness.
"Contact the research institute, we need more submarines, alternately tracking, we can't give that monster the slightest chance!"
"Don't worry about the masked monster just yet, the harvest in front of you is real, who knows where the masked monster is?"
Not only this man, but the rest of the members of the submarine were particularly excited.
At this moment, they didn't know that the masked monster they had been talking about all this time was actually in front of the sea monster, just far away from them.
No one could have imagined that the world would be so coincidental.
This strange coincidence caused Su Xia a lot of trouble.
He had planned to go quietly and quietly to the Far North Sea without alarming any forces, and then return to Coral City.
But right now, the monster was chasing after him, stubbornly holding on, as if it had recognized his big submarine.
Su Xia stood in the command cabin, frowned, and thought seriously: "Behind the sea monster, the more than ten small submarines are all at a depth of about 11,000 meters, maybe this is their limit, they can't continue to dive, and the depth of this sea area is about 12,000 kilometers...... How are they going to catch the sea monster? ”
He could feel that the small submarines were all in the upper position behind him, and they did not continue down.
The incident happened suddenly just now, and Su Xia didn't react.
But now he had figured out that the actions of the more than a dozen small submarines were nothing more than to capture the sea monster.
Most of the Kraken had suffered heavy damage, and it had been attacked, otherwise it would not have let out that angry roar.
"The people in those little submarines are waiting, waiting for the sea monster to get weaker and weaker." Su Xia knew very well what the other party was thinking.
The sea monster's IQ is not low, and he did not choose to fight back, but fled all the way, indicating that he was not sure that he could save his life while defeating the more than ten submarines.
As for the more than ten small submarines, although they are only about 11,000 meters at present, it seems that they cannot reach the depth of the sea monster, but no one can say their limit.
Maybe those people stayed at 11,000 kilometers just to give the sea monster hope?
Let the sea monster mistakenly think that they can't get down, so that the sea monster has the psychology that they can escape.
Of course, it is not excluded that those submarines are designed to dive to a depth of 11,000 meters.
However, the depth of design is often based on absolute safety considerations.
The depth of the dive can most likely exceed the design depth.
Even if those small submarines dive a few hundred meters more, they should be fine, but there is a certain risk.
"The sea monster is in hot pursuit, following me all the time, maybe it's not just because of the pheromones of the tentacle monster before?"
The incident happened suddenly, and all kinds of thoughts flashed through Su Xia's mind.
The speed of the sea monster behind is not slow, and judging from the current situation, it won't be long before Su Xia's submarine will be caught up by it.
Su Xia needed to plan ahead.
"Captain, there are still ten minutes to collide, do you want to fight back?" Sarah's expression was serious, and she activated the weapon system again, and as long as Su Xia gave the order, she would attack the sea monster behind her.
"Wait!"
Susha's brows tightened, and she reached out to stop Sarah.
The situation is tense, the sirens in the command cabin are constantly sounding, the dangerous red light is flashing, and the hands of the various instrument panels are unusually swinging back and forth, which is easily irritating.
But Su Xia was still calm, and after a while, he said calmly, "Sea monster, do you want me to help you?" ”
He seemed to be talking to himself, his eyes were downcast, and his voice was not loud.
Soon, a majestic voice sounded in his head: "You...... Your sub...... It has the smell of that guy......"
The sea monster could really hear it, and its spiritual power was strong, just like the tentacle monster, it could directly talk to Su Xia in his mind.
This ability is very bizarre, Susha can't do it, and it seems to be unique to many sea creatures.
"That guy? Is it a tentacle monster? Su Xia asked unhurriedly.
"Tentacle monsters?"
In my head, the voice paused, seemed to be thinking, and then said, "It's ...... The whole body is full of tentacles, maybe ...... It's almost ...... to call a tentacle monster."
"You know?" Susha asked.
"Yes...... Intersection ......"
The monster's voice was staccato and peculiar.
After the exchange, Su Xia learned that this sea monster and the tentacle monster are both a tyrant of the deep sea, and they have had many exchanges over the years, and they have also shared their experience in avoiding the mechanical clan.
The reason why it tracked down Su Xia was indeed because it sensed the aura of the tentacle monster on Su Xia's submarine and thought that Su Xia was not an enemy.
"What's your name?" Susha asked.
"You...... You can call me...... Whale ......"
Whale!
One word!
It's a simple title, but the representatives behind it speak for themselves.
As long as it uses this codename, then other sea monsters in this area can no longer be used.
Su Xia pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Whale, why do you speak with a space?" ”
Hearing this question, the whale was also silent for a moment, as if she didn't know how to answer.
It took more than ten seconds for him to reply, "Speaking in fits and pieces can create a sense of antiquity and mystery." ”
Su Xia: "I see...... So ......"
At this moment, the distance between the two sides is already very close.
The bottom of the sea is turbid, the sea water is surging, the vibration is continuous, and in another four or five minutes, the sea monster named "Whale" behind it will collide with Su Xia's submarine.
Although both sides were communicating, they did not slow down.
Su Xia stood in the command cabin, his eyes narrowed slightly, and in front of him was the world presented to him by the life perception glasses.
Through the layers of submarine structure, through the cold and turbid water, you can see that behind the submarine, there is a big monster in the shape of a giant whale.
According to rough estimates, the giant whale was at least more than 300 meters long, which was unimaginably huge, and there were countless violent undercurrents under the sea as it swam, as if it was a giant monster swimming out of ancient mythology.
You know, on the other side of the earth, the largest blue whale is only thirty or forty meters long.
As for the back of the whale, the more than ten small submarines also appeared in Su Xia's eyes.
[Scientific research submarine: the latest product of the Deep Blue Research Institute, the designed limit diving depth is 11,000 kilometers]
[Note: Deep Blue Research Institute, sponsored by the Northern Sailing Club for a long time, dispatched various submarines developed at the request of the club to hunt down masked monsters on the bottom of the sea......]
"It turned out to be them."
Su Xia occasionally visited the forum during this time, and of course knew about the Northern Sailing Club that wanted to capture him and dedicate him to the mechanical clan.
Thinking of this, Su Xia's heart moved, and he had his own plan.
"Whale, with your strength, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with the more than ten small submarines in the back, right?" He was not in a hurry and continued to ask the sea monster.
With the size of this deep-sea troll, even if he didn't have any skills, he could just run into those small submarines into a pile of debris.
Even if it can't be broken once, it can be hit again, and the undercurrent is enough for those small submarines to drink a pot.
"I'm hurt...... Those humans, they are despicable, they sneak attack. ”
There was anger in the whale's voice.
As Su Xia had previously suspected, the giant whale was injured, and it was serious.
He originally hibernated, slept at the bottom of the sea, floated around with the sea, surfaced to bask in the sun when it was cold, and went to the far north to find shrimp to eat when he was hungry.
But today, suddenly, more than a dozen human submarines discovered him.
The human submarines were eerie, driving with little noise, only slight fluctuations in the water.
Although the sleeping sea monster felt those small fluctuations, he didn't think so, thinking that it was some deep-sea fish, so he didn't pay attention to it and didn't wake up.
However, just moments later, dozens of terrifying torpedoes hit his massive body directly, exploding under the water, blowing up his entire back crest.
"Humans, damn it, they're still chasing me!" The whale's voice rang out, furious, "Their weapons haven't run out yet, and I'm not absolutely sure to kill them all." ”
"So you found me?" Susha asked.
"You shouldn't be an enemy."
Instead of denying his thoughts, the whale said, "That one...... The tentacle monsters, the messages left on your submarine, are well-intentioned. ”
"I can help you." Susha said.
"Okay, let's kill it together!" There was an impatient mood swing from the whale.
"But ......"
"But what?"
"You often go to the Far North Sea, you should be familiar with it, and after helping you, you need to be my guide for a few days."
This sea monster is a native of the north, knows the underwater world very well, and is the overlord of the sea, Su Xia doesn't want to let go of such a good guide.
Whales naturally know that there is no such thing as unwarranted help.
His intelligence is not weaker than that of adults, and he is quite knowledgeable about the rules of exchange in the human world.
He agreed without much thought and said, "Okay, if you help me, I'll help you." ”
"No problem!"
Su Xia smiled and said, "Actually, I can solve those small submarines by myself without your help." ”
The whale asked, "Why?" ”
"As long as it's made of metal, it's under my control." Su Xia said confidently, "I only need to stand here and move my mind to destroy those small submarines behind you, and it doesn't take much effort." ”
"Are you the strongest of the human race?"
"Sort of."
"Then you can clearly control your big submarine and let your big submarine speed up, so that I can't catch up!"
The whale suddenly realized something, and said to Su Xia: "But you didn't do that, you kept the big submarine at a constant speed, obviously waiting for me to catch up, and then negotiate with me so that I could be your guide!" ”
Su Xia smiled: "You can understand it like this. ”
"Damn, you humans are too dark!"
“……”
In this way, the two sides reached a tacit understanding.
Subsequently, the whale made a request: "If you can really control the metal, then you can control those submarines, you don't need to kill them, I want to do it myself." ”
"No problem, that's as it should be." Su Xia immediately agreed.
The whale's anger must be vented by killing with his own hands, otherwise he always holds his breath in his heart, which will make him very depressed, and it is easy to get sick after holding it for a long time.
After agreeing on the agreement, both sides stopped in unison, no longer fled, and waited for the small submarines to approach.
Soon, the small submarines in the rear found out about the problem.
On the submarine in the middle, the young man looked stunned and wondered, "Why didn't this monster run away?" According to calculations, its physical strength has not been exhausted, and it will take at least two or three days to walk, is it too badly injured? Am I misestimating? ”
The same doubts also appeared in the minds of the rest of the submarine crew.
You must know that the vitality of deep-sea animals is particularly tenacious, and some fish can live for a while even after being bitten off half of their bodies, not to mention the submarine overlord such as whales.
He was only injured in his back and was blown out of a large blood hole, but the injury was far from fatal, as long as there was no interference from external factors and a period of recuperation, he could heal the injury.
"Get ready!" The young man waved, "That monster may try to fight back, it has a good IQ." ”
"Boss, the weapon system is ready!"
"Good."
The young man was full of confidence and stared at the screen in front of him.
If the Kraken counterattacks, they use the torpedo to blow up another wave, and if he breaks through the area of the torpedo, then they immediately flee, leaving the Kraken to chase after them with heavy injuries.
They were well prepared, and the Kraken was already badly wounded, and in the end, they must have won.
Thinking of this, the young man's heart was excited, he licked his mouth, and muttered in a low voice: "As long as I can kill him, I will be able to reproduce the glory of the ancestors, I seem to have seen the glorious light, in the light...... The Ancestor seemed to be smiling and waving at me......"
Honor, wealth, status, everything seems to be at your fingertips.
The young man was already imagining his future life.
But at this moment, the submarine they were in suddenly shook.
"Boom-"
After a bang, the entire submarine instantly dimmed, and the explosion seemed to come from the energy capsule, and the smell of burning soon appeared in the entire submarine.
The young man's face changed, and he broke away from the illusion of light and returned to the dark reality.
"The energy pod exploded?" He immediately thought about the problem.
Even in normal times, the explosion of the energy tank is a big problem, and if you are not careful, it is easy to cause the submarine to sink.
Not to mention that now, the sea monster is still eyeing outside.
The previous good situation has instantly turned into a life-and-death dilemma of internal and external troubles.
"Buzz!"
The submarine trembled slightly, and the lights around it suddenly lit up again, but it was not as bright as before, but all the equipment could be used, and the monitors, indicator lights, and so on on the command platform lit up one after another.
Seeing this, the young man breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, there is no problem with the backup energy."
As long as the backup power is still there, he is confident that he will return home with this submarine, return to the submarine base, and drive another submarine back again.
Inside the submarine, the rest of the crew wiped their cold sweat and rejoiced.
"Maybe it's been too long at extreme depths." One member speculated, "Our kind of submarine, after all, is the latest product of the research institute, but it has only been tested, and its actual ability has yet to be tested." ”
"Our accident this time can be regarded as providing an example for the research institute, let them study it slowly."
Another member laughed and said, "It's good that there is backup energy......
Before he could speak, there was another loud noise inside the submarine.
With a bang, the submarine shook violently, and the interior was dark again.
The sound of the explosion came from the backup energy capsule!
"What's going on?"
Everyone's expressions changed greatly, and they took out their respective lighting equipment, panicked, and they were all out of proportion.
One explosion may be a coincidence, but two explosions in a row, there is clearly a problem!
Did someone deliberately detonate the energy capsule?
But they searched the submarine when they entered, and it was impossible for anyone to bring in bombs, not even the materials used to make bombs.
Could it be that the energy capsule has been tampered with?
All kinds of speculations flashed in everyone's minds, but they didn't seem to matter anymore.
Now the most important thing is, how are they going to get back alive?
