Chapter 168: Encountering a Space Node

It's so fast!

All of this happened so fast!

From the sudden eruption of mysterious fluctuations in the darkness to the expansion of the blood mist in the sky and the nearness of the fleet's docking, the whole process took less than ten seconds.

The inexplicable appearance of the blood-colored mist, or rather, the red current, and the terrifying shadow that was born in the darkness at the same time.

These sudden changes, as if there was some unknown force, forcibly cut and pasted another layer of space completely, without warning!

If there is any sign, it is the mysterious fluctuation that Xu Hui accidentally glimpsed before.

But no one had ever experienced anything like that before, and there was no experience in this area at all.

No one knows what the impact of that mysterious fluctuation that is too small to catch will have.

At that moment, Xu Hui desperately strode in the deck passage.

Under the dim corridor light, my ears were filled with terrifying howls like the roar of ghosts, as if I was surrounded by endless evil ghosts, which made my scalp tingle.

"Damn! Damn it! ”

"What the hell is going on out there? Wasn't it okay just now, where did these ghost screams come from?! ”

Xu Hui was shocked, his heart was furious, and he stumbled to the bridge command room, and hurriedly opened the hatch.

Inside the house, the short-distance communication ringtones were crazy, like a talisman in the hand of the king of Hades, and they struck heavily on Xu Hui's heart.

After entering the door, before he could answer the short-distance communication on the center console, his eyes were immediately attracted by the three-dimensional projection projected by the sonar display.

I saw that the data projection of the hazy model lake half a minute ago was already a mess at this moment.

Countless anomalous listening targets, representing the source of the loud noise, were densely packed like peaks, and swept madly from the northeast corner of the two o'clock direction.

On the screen, those target points with abnormal sound wave signals continue to emit strong fluctuations in the process of rapid movement.

All kinds of sound waves are mixed and intertwined, and finally turn into a strange whirlpool, dragging a long trail on the screen, and flying up and down at a very fast speed.

There are so many of them, it's almost thousands, and it looks like it's tingling!

For a moment, Xu Hui's breath froze, and he felt unprecedented shock and fear.

"This ......"

He was so frightened that he couldn't even pay attention to the frantically ringing communication bell at the moment.

As soon as he entered the bridge command room, he didn't have time to think about it, and subconsciously sounded the alarm of the whole ship.

Such a situation is no longer something he can handle, and the whole ship must be notified immediately to assemble urgently.

And as the shrill siren buzzed, he hurriedly answered the short-haul communication.

"Oh no! Tell the commander that something is wrong! ”

"There has been a sudden change in the sea area ahead, a large number of unknown creatures have appeared, and they are frantically gathering towards us, please give instructions to the commander as soon as possible!"

"Notice, there is danger approaching in the dark, there are too many of them, what should I do?!"

……

In the short-range communication system, the night guards on several other submarines were also in a panic at this moment.

The sound of panic and confusion echoed wildly through the loudspeakers on the center console in the command room of the Sea Locust's bridge.

Xu Hui forced his composure, suppressed the uneasiness and fear in his heart, and shouted at a few people:

"Calm down! Don't panic! I have already informed the commander, you will immediately sound the alarm and report the situation to your respective captains, don't mess up! ”

"At this time, once we mess up ourselves, it's really all over!"

Xu Hui roared desperately, and beads of sweat the size of beans continued to ooze from his forehead.

That being said, in fact, his calves were trembling, and his heart was terrified.

The screams of ethereal chaos outside the cabin grew louder and closer, as if they could tear the hull of the ship and drag everyone into the abyss at any moment.

Then.

The hatch of the command room was opened from the outside, and Meng Lei, who was wearing pajamas, strode in with a solemn face.

In fact, before Xu Hui sounded the alarm of the whole ship.

As soon as those terrifying screams outside the cabin resounded through the darkness, Meng Lei had already woken up from his sleep.

This sleep was very unsound for him, and the chaotic dreams always seemed as if something was about to move, and he had been wandering between half asleep and half awake, and he had not really fallen into a deep sleep.

As the sudden change and chaos began, Meng Lei seemed to feel some kind of calling, and completely broke free from the dream.

Then, he didn't bother to change his clothes at all, so he snatched the door out of the captain's room and rushed towards the command cabin.

Looking at the chaotic scene on the sonar display, Meng Lei's face was gloomy as water, and he asked in a solemn voice:

"What's wrong? What's going on out there? ”

After Xu Hui saw Meng Lei, it was as if he had immediately found the backbone, but he was inevitably still a little flustered in his heart:

"Commander, just now the sonar probe listened to a mysterious anomalous wave, and then ......"

Xu Hui explained the general situation at the fastest speed.

He is not very clear about the specific cause of this accident, so he can only make a simple description and introduce the current situation to Meng Lei.

After listening, Meng Lei's eyebrows tightened.

"Mysterious fluctuations? A sudden outbreak of strange tides?! ”

"Could it be that we are unlucky to encounter a space node caused by the space tide?!"

"Those terrifying noises outside the cabin are alien sea monsters pulled up from the deep zone by the tides?"

Meng Lei's mind turned sharply, and he had a rough judgment in an instant.

The current turn of events is too strange to be explained by any other reason.

The only possibility is that they have inexplicably encountered a spatial node, which is within the influence of the tides.

In order to verify his guess, Meng Lei walked to the center console with his feet up, staring at the picture presented by the sonar display, trying to trigger the tip of the golden finger.

At this moment, the anomalous vortices that represented the noise points spread more and more widely, radiating outwards and spreading wildly.

Meng Lei concentrated his mind and set his gaze on the abnormal whirlpools that were constantly wandering.

Unfortunately, gold fingers don't seem to be effective for objects that don't have a clear target.

No matter how Meng Lei enlarged or reduced the scale of the picture, Goldfinger did not come as scheduled and remained silent.

"Is it possible, do you have to force me to turn on the active sonar and show the anomalies clearly?"

Meng Lei frowned, and there was a fire in his heart.

There is no doubt that there must be monsters everywhere in the darkness outside the cabin at this moment, and turning on the active sonar is undoubtedly an act of death.

Once exposed, no one can predict what the consequences will be.

The only thing that made Meng Lei feel a little relaxed was that, judging from the current situation, the targets of those unknown creatures outside the cabin didn't seem to be targeted, and they didn't exactly rush towards the fleet.

It's just that the sea area where the fleet is currently docked happens to be within the range of the other side's radiation diffusion.

If you don't take the initiative to expose it, it shouldn't lead the other party to attack for the time being.

After a little hesitation, Meng Lei turned his head and explained to Xu Hui:

"Gather everyone immediately, all of them are on standby at their respective posts, ready to break through at any time, go quickly!"

"Yes!"

Xu Hui didn't hesitate, shouted and ran quickly towards the outside of the command room.

At the same time, Meng Lei transmitted the same order to several other submarines through a short-range communication system.

Now that the accident has just happened, most of the crew members have just woken up from their sleep, and they are still in a state of confusion.

Even if it is to break through, now is not the best time.

Taking advantage of the fact that the chaos outside the cabin had not yet spread to the fleet, Meng Lei planned to gather everyone first, and then act in unison after adjusting the state.

Minutes and seconds passed.

There was a panic in the short-range communication system, and the submarines were noisy and chaotic.

The same is true of the Sea Locust.

The alarm sounded in the fourth-floor cabin, and Simon, Huo Ye, Hans and others woke up from their sleep one after another, and hurried to the first deck before they had time to change their clothes.

At the same time, the chaos outside the cabin has been fermenting.

Although the searchlight was not turned on, Meng Lei could not clearly and intuitively see the situation in the ocean outside the cabin.

But the hissing sound like the roar of a ghost is gradually more and more, and it is getting denser and denser.

The abnormal vortex on the sonar display screen has been so dense that it is completely innumerable, and then it is directly impossible to present a specific picture, and the entire screen is chaotic, and nothing can be seen clearly.

Meng Lei could clearly hear that something was constantly outside the cabin, clinging to the hull of the ship and passing quickly.

The resulting sound of a torrent filled his eardrums.

Apparently, there are already monsters roaming the fleet, roaming the vicinity.

Such a situation is quite disturbing.

Because you don't know what's going on around you at the moment.

Human fear of the unknown is the deepest fear engraved in genes, and this sentence is not wrong at all.

Rao is Meng Lei has experienced countless battles recently, and his psychological quality has been greatly strengthened.

At this moment, I can't help but feel chills and feel extremely nervous.

At one point, something seemed to grasp the hull in the darkness, and there was a harsh grinding and squeezing sound on the surface of the hull.

Meng Lei's heart immediately lifted, and his breathing was extremely heavy.

"Bang ......"

A dense crashing sound followed, as if countless dense tentacles were beating, making a heart-warming sound.

Meng Lei stood in front of the porthole with his hands in his hands, and from the dark images projected by the camera, countless black shadows could be vaguely seen shaking outside the cabin.

The hiss whined, rolled wildly, and the scalp of those who listened to it tingled.

"Winter!" "Winter! ”……

The crash was heard again, and the hull trembled.

Meng Lei felt like an incomparably thick tentacle, slapping the hull of the ship vigorously, and through that thick and solid shell, he could feel the terrifying power contained in the other party!

"Damn! What the hell is running up from the deep zone, how can it have such a powerful force?! It can't be an abyss-level monster like Kraken and Morok, right?! ”

He was suspicious in his heart, and tried to open the electromagnetic coil on the outer surface of the submarine several times, but in the end he did not dare to take the risk easily.

can only honestly hide in the command room, and let the movement outside get bigger and bigger.

In a trance, he seemed to have a feeling that the sea water outside the cabin was violently shaking, as if some behemoth was stepping on the bottom of the sea, the movement was amazing, and the seabed was gently shaking.

He turned his gaze back to the sonar display, and the picture was a mess, still unable to see anything.

"Shhh What kind of creature is this? It's too much movement! ”

Meng Lei gasped, unable to maintain his composure any longer, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.

After about a minute, the shaking outside the cabin gradually subsided, and the terrifying creature seemed to lose interest in the sea locust and left the nearby area.

However, the dense screaming sound continued, constantly lingering outside the Sea Locust's cabin.

During this period, the members of several other submarines of the fleet were assembled one after another, and all of them devoted themselves to their respective posts.

In the headphones, the voices of Lin Ming and Zhang Chao also came one after another.

"Commander, as soon as the guards are assembled, they will be on standby!"

"Commander, all the guards are in place, please give instructions!"

……

From the slightly trembling voices of several people, Meng Lei could clearly hear it, although their tone was quite calm, but their hearts were also full of panic.

In the face of the current situation, it is true that few people can remain calm.

"How's it going over there? Are there any special circumstances, such as violent vibrations, or strong impacts......"

Although the Sea Locust stabilized temporarily, Meng Lei did not dare to hold it up.

He was afraid that the terrifying unknown creature had not gone far, and was still wandering back nearby, and aimed at several other submarines.

"Back to Commander, my side is stable for the time being, and there is no such thing as you said."

"It's the same on my side, but there are too many strange screams, and they just surround the three guards and haven't left."

"Commander, there seems to be something scratching the hull of our ship outside, it's not moving much, but it sounds terrifying, what the hell should we do now?!"

……

Everyone reported the situation one after another and asked Meng Lei's opinion.

Meng Lei took a deep breath, his brain racing.

Through the observation just now, Meng Lei dispelled the idea of telling everyone to remain silent and wait until the chaos was completely calm before setting sail and leaving.

Because he found that as time passed, the terrifying fluctuations outside the cabin showed no signs of stopping, but intensified.

This kind of chaos has no idea when it will be the end, and there is no lesson to refer to.

If you stay any longer, the monsters in the surrounding sea will only gather more and more.

The longer the time drags on, the more slim the success rate of the breakout becomes.

Therefore, after making sure that all the members had entered the combat state, Meng Lei did not hesitate too much and immediately ordered:

"Listen to me! Everyone cheers me up and prepares to break through! ”
