Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 1501 Support Arrives
"Any other weapons? Any weapon that can fire will do!"

Kurodabei called out to Chief Makino.

The latter paused for a moment, then remembered that there were still some decoy bombs left from using them to deal with the torpedoes.

However, when two glowing arcs appeared in the iron-black deep sea, the diver clinging to the power ring did not waver at all, and still swam firmly in the opposite direction of the ocean current while holding on to the power ring.

As the power reserves in the base dropped rapidly, the staff in the main control room began to panic.

Most people suggested that the lifting of the offshore platform be stopped and the remaining electricity be used to maintain lighting within the base.

This way, even if the Deep Ones invade, the people in the base can use whatever they have that can be used as weapons to make a last stand.

If the offshore platform continues to rise and fall, it can only last for 10 minutes.

Once the 10 minutes are up, the entire base will be plunged into darkness without a single light source. Coupled with the invading deep divers, the scene will be ten thousand times more terrifying than death itself.

No one wants to go through this.

After listening to his subordinates' suggestions, Director Makino could only nod and accept them.

However, once Pacific Buoy's server is shut down, it will take at least a day to restart.

However, at this moment of life and death, no one cares about these things anymore.

But at this moment, Dr. Agasa, who was sitting in front of the operating table, suddenly shouted: "Someone is talking on the public channel!"

The next second, Hiroki Sawada transmitted the voice to the public speaker in the main control room.

"Pacific buoy, Pacific buoy..."

"This is the Aegis-class destroyer Hotaka. I have arrived in the waters near Kohachijo Island..."

"The visibility on the sea is too low, please report your specific location!"

When they heard the other party's stern voice, everyone in the control room instantly showed excited expressions.

Support finally arrived!
"This is Pacific Buoy! I'm Director Makino Yosuke!"

"We are being attacked by unknown creatures, please provide support immediately!"

"The specific coordinates are..."

When Makino reported the coordinates via radio, the Hotaka CIC (Combat Information Center) on the other side responded immediately.

"Azimuth 45°, distance 5000, fire flares!"

"Light flare, fire!"

"emission!"

Bang!
As a flickering arc rose to mid-air, an intense white light illuminated the dark sea surface.

In the captain's room on the bridge, Conan held onto the edge of the windowsill with both hands, staring nervously in that direction.

The area directly below the flare suddenly became as bright as day, and a huge fortress standing on the sea suddenly appeared.

This is the Pacific Buoy...

Because the offshore platform portion of the Pacific buoy was no longer powered, coupled with a storm on the sea, visibility was very poor.

Only with the help of flares can this base, which should have been very conspicuous, be discovered.

Next to Conan, the captain of the Hotaka was observing the situation of the offshore platform with a telescope.

After a moment, his body shuddered subconsciously and he murmured in surprise.

"what is that……"

Upon hearing this, Conan, who was standing next to him, quickly adjusted his black-tech glasses to telescope mode so that he could see the situation on the offshore platform clearly.

The platform was almost completely filled with gray-green humanoid monsters. They had huge fish heads on their heads and were jumping around in a disorderly manner on the platform.

This is... Conan suddenly remembered that Qin Zhibo once mentioned a marine creature called "Deep Diver", which is very similar to this one.

More importantly, Cthulhu is the object of worship of the Deep Ones race. If the organization's purpose is to resurrect Cthulhu, then the Deep Ones have reason to attack the Pacific buoy.

"Captain, they are deep divers, a type of marine creature!"

"They're invading the Pacific buoys!"

The captain glanced at the elementary school student next to him.

Although he was not quite sure about the identity of this elementary school student, the order for him to board the ship was issued by the high-level Self-Defense Forces, so he must have an extraordinary identity.

And even if Conan didn't say it, he was going to order the attack.

"Everyone prepare to fight on land!"

"Send the SH60K helicopter to confirm the situation of the offshore platform! Adjust the direction of the ship to prepare for attack!"

As the captain issued a series of orders, the CIC responded immediately, adjusting the direction of the Hotaka and pointing the bow towards the Pacific buoy.

At the same time, the ship's helicopter took off and flew towards the Pacific buoy.

As the helicopter arrived above the platform, first-hand monitoring images were transmitted back to the large screen on the bridge.

Everyone on the ship also witnessed the true appearance of the Deep Diver for the first time.

The blurry figures gathered into a black mass, all gathered at the edge of the center of the offshore platform.

Under the illumination of the flares, it looked like loaches with legs were crawling around everywhere, making people feel uncomfortable even when watching through the screen.

Seeing this, the captain no longer hesitated and immediately ordered an attack.

As the bow gun finally adjusted its direction, a series of artillery fire gushed out from the muzzle.

The fire drew a perfect arc in the night sky and then exploded at the place where it crashed, which was the offshore platform.

boom!
boom!
In an instant, the platform was filled with flames, and countless divers were engulfed by the intense light and heat.

The deep diver's unique sharp roar echoed throughout the platform.

At the same time, everyone in the main control room suddenly felt the base begin to tremble, and a low roar echoed throughout the base, and they realized that the Hotaka had begun its attack.

Fortunately, the platform part of the Pacific buoy is built relatively solidly and can withstand attacks from general small-caliber artillery.

Qin Zhibo stood by the window, looking at the deep divers lurking in the deep sea.

The moment the ship began to attack, the deep divers in the sea suddenly stopped moving, and their ugly fish heads froze, as if they were receiving some orders.

A few seconds later, they broke away from the power ring in unison and swam towards the depths of the sea.

On the sea surface platform, after the first round of artillery fire, the remaining surviving divers scrambled to jump into the sea, looking embarrassed as if they were fleeing in panic.

When everyone in the control room saw this scene through the surveillance, they couldn't help but cheer.

"Won!"

"We chased those monsters away!"

Similarly, in the bridge room of the Hotaka, Conan also breathed a sigh of relief.

……

With the power ring operational again, normal power supply was restored to the entire Pacific buoy.

Director Makino immediately organized personnel to carry out rescue operations and check the remaining divers in the base.

Qin Zhibo and others reached the devastated offshore platform through a lifting platform and saw the Hotaka that came to support them.

In addition to the captain and two crew members, Conan also came aboard the ship.
