Chapter 131: 'Learning to Fear'

After the failure of the first two attempts to escape, some indigenous gnomes were already riding giant worms and sticking to the outer walls of the ship's hull.

They shouted "Whoa

"Hell, those big spiders on gnomes can climb ships, they rushed up, so be careful...", a sailor on deck with a fire axe was the first to see a giant worm carrying the gnomes and start crawling on the hull of the 'Elizabeth Holiday', and couldn't help but exclaim loudly.

But just as his words caused an even bigger commotion on the deck of the cruise ship, all of a sudden, the large spiders crawling on the hull of the ship were enveloped in a milky white mist.

The mist seemed to contain extremely high temperatures, and through the moonlight, it could be seen that the giant insects wrapped in it, as well as the blood in the dwarf's body on its back, swelled up in an instant, leaving only many skeletons with minced flesh hanging into the sea.

The fog did not dissipate after killing dozens of gnomes who had climbed the ship, but instead drifted together, forming a huge cloud in mid-air, and suddenly, a 'purring' roar resounded in the sea.

After that, thousands of meters of sea next to the steamship seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand, and a huge beast that was unimaginable to ordinary people sprang out.

The sea beast's body was twice as long as the 'Elizabeth's Holiday', and after leaping out of the sea, it crashed into the clouds that covered the starry sky in mid-air, and it cracked its mouth as it harnessed the clouds, and suddenly bit down on the stone pillar on the left side of the ship with broken foundations, and spun its body violently.

With a loud bang, the stone pillar broke through the sea from its foundation, and was spit out by the giant beast to the countless gnomes surging on the surface of the sea.

Since the stone pillar broke. All the indigenous gnomes seemed to have lost their ability to think, and their bodies became as stiff as wood, and it was only when one of their compatriots was stone-struck to death that they came to their senses.

Most of the natives threw their spears at the giant beasts in the air in vain for the sake of faith in their hearts, but some of the natives no longer died fearlessly and generously as before, but began to flee in a daze.

The primitive and crude faith crumbled in their hearts the moment the totem shattered, convinced that even the gods they believed in could no match the giant beast that swam in front of them in the clouds and mist, sucking hundreds of compatriots who dared to confront it into its mouth with a single bite. For the first time, the fleeing indigenous gnomes felt an incomparable sense of fear rise in their hearts.

Standing on the deck of the cruise ship, Zhang Lisheng, whose face was pale because of the magic spell of the word 'Tong', felt the boiling magic power surging in his flesh and blood, and suddenly raised his head to the sky and shouted silently.

The fifth sarcoma in the lower jaw slowly bulged out, and the magic power unconsciously returned to its full state, and it swelled a lot. The boy who broke through to the witch did not drive the witch worm to exterminate the already completely harmless gnomes.

He breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the sea around him, which was almost bright red like a sea of purgatory fire reflected in his pupils, and said the words he hadn't finished just now in a calm and flat tone, "Look, they know how to fear now...", wrapped his head in a blanket, and sat cross-legged on the deck.

The three girls who had experienced the truth in just a few seconds looked at them and shrank down after sitting down. The teenager, who looked thinner and thinner, didn't know how to describe his mood at all.

At this time, the 'Elizabeth's Holiday' suddenly sounded the whistle for the third time, and with the whistle roaring, the steamer slowly retreated smoothly, turned around and sailed into the vast sea.

After getting rid of that terrible coast. The second step of the escape was finally put in front of the senior sailors aboard the Elizabeth Holiday.

In the wheelhouse of the ship, Fiona, who had been exhausted for a long time, gasped and threw away the rudder, and weakly turned on the autopilot system, "Adelaide." How's the automatic route in the nautical instrument straightened out?"

Adelaide, the only navigator on the steamer who had not witnessed any danger from the beginning to the end, had remained in the wheelhouse, and had been straightening out the course of this strange voyage little by little, replied tiredly: "Your Excellency, I have repeatedly verified the anomalies on this automatic route many times. It was discovered that the first error occurred at latitude and longitude 42°..."W. ”

"Can you find that mistake correctly?"

"In the absence of satellite navigation, only half certain. ”

"It's already unexpectedly high, do Adelaide, I'll pray for you. Fiona looked out the window at the gloomy night, reverently drew a 'cross' on his chest, and said in a low voice.

"Yes, Your Excellency. "When the navigator heard the captain's order, he began to correct the course continuously, and drove the ship in a great circle in the sea at a constant speed of twenty-five nautical miles per hour, which was the most fuel-efficient.

As time passed, the sky grew brighter, and the cruise ship would have approached New York City if it had been on the right route, but now as far as the eye could see, the sea was empty.

The hearts of all the people in the wheelhouse had sunk, but no one dared to really face this desperate reality, until the engineer Alessandro reported in a trembling voice: "Your Excellency, we only have enough fuel to sail ten or ten nautical miles..."

Hearing this, Fiona showed a bitter smile on his face for the first time, he sighed deeply, straightened the hat on his head, and said in a calm tone: "Everyone, it seems that we have to face reality..."

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, there is a signal, there is a satellite signal, oh, the shortwave and longwave signals have also been restored!" Adelaide, the navigator, suddenly shouted in surprise: "I'll try to call, I'll try to call right away...

New York Harbor, New York Harbor, I'm 'Elizabeth Holiday', I'm 'Elizabeth Holiday', hear please answer, hear please answer. ”

A few seconds later, as everyone waited anxiously, a clear answer came from the intercom: "'Elizabeth Holiday', 'Elizabeth Holiday', this is the Coast Guard, this is the Coast Guard, please report your location, please report your location?"

The United States Coast Guard (USCG), one of the five major armed forces of the United States, is responsible for coastal waters, waterway law enforcement, water safety, shipwrecked ships, aircraft rescue, pollution control, and is committed to protecting national security in the sea area.

Due to the duties of the United States Coast Guard, Adelaide called New York Harbor, but the response was the Coast Guard, which was subconsciously understood by the sailors in the wheelhouse that because the "Elizabeth Holiday" did not return as scheduled and disappeared at sea, all of which attracted the attention of the USCG, and the channel was monitored.

Of course, they didn't take this kind of thing to heart, and they all clenched their fists and waved wildly in cheers, only to realize that they had finally completed their duties, so that Fiona, who had been rescued safely on the 'Elizabeth Holiday', breathed a long sigh of relief, and suddenly collapsed to the ground.

The news of the rescue soon reached everyone on board by radio, and the good news naturally caused continuous cheers from everyone.

Zhang Lisheng looked at the crowd hugging and jumping around him with tears in his eyes on the deck, and suddenly smiled at Tina and said, "Look at Tina, didn't we come back safely." ”

"Baby, I know we wouldn't be where we are without you.

I'm sorry, I've been ignoring you all the way, I didn't mean to, but I really don't know what to say to you.

Last night's scene was too much, too much, too much..."Tina hesitated for a moment, suddenly hugged the boy, sobbed and said, "I'm scared, really Li Sheng, I'm scared..."

"Tina, that island is another primeval Amazon jungle, and the law of the jungle is 'the jungle of the jungle', we 'eat' those indigenous gnomes if we are strong;

We were eaten by those indigenous gnomes when we were weak, and if you think about this, you should actually feel lucky, not afraid. ”

"But, but that's thousands..."

"It's the tens of thousands of adult 'people from the otherworld' who want to kill us.

They weren't our kind Tina, and I did everything I did just to survive. ”

As Zhang Lisheng spoke, there was a sudden sound of a large helicopter flying in the distance, and soon on the distant sea, a tugboat with a huge national emblem and a star-striped flag on its hull was at full speed, riding the wind and waves towards the 'Elizabeth Holiday', which was accompanied by two steamers with a slightly smaller displacement, and seven or eight large helicopters hovering overhead.

"The ship is coming, the ship that came to save us is coming, I didn't expect them to come so quickly, thank you, God, for your protection,..." shouted many people on deck in ecstasy.

"No, it's not like a rescue plane, it's a helicopter gunship and a warship, and two of those three ships have batteries, it seems, it's a battleship!"

At this moment, a clear announcement suddenly sounded from the large tugboat that had rushed to the vicinity of the 'Elizabeth Holiday': "Attention all passengers of the 'Elizabeth Holiday', 'Elizabeth Holiday'... Please note that you have been listed as a Class B 'Public Safety Disposal Mission' target, and you... Target.

The rescue ship "St. Mary" of the United States Coast Guard, the "Condor" and "Wolf Stork" of the United States Navy will cooperate with the "National Center for Disease Control and Prevention" to carry out the temporary isolation plan. ”

As the radio heard the 'Elizabeth Holiday', the people on the deck of the cruise ship who had just escaped suddenly found that everyone they could see on the three steel ships they thought were saviors were wearing heavy isolation suits that looked like silver space suits! )
