American Celestial Master

Chapter 100, The Gentle Troll

The next morning, a piece of news suddenly appeared on Twitter, citing unnamed sources who allegedly belonged to "military insiders" saying that just yesterday, in the waters off Newfoundland, a Canadian The national fishing boat was attacked by sea monsters, and was dragged into the sea by this Kraken within a very short period of time.After that, the U.S. Navy dispatched P-8 anti-submarine aircraft and Kraken anti-submarine helicopters to track and attack the Kraken.The specific circumstances are unknown.

If someone disclosed such news a year ago, everyone would definitely regard it as an April Fool's Day joke, but now, everyone dare not say that it is not true.Immediately, the news media asked the governments of the United States and Canada whether the news was true.

The US government initially said it had no comment, but they admitted that they did have military movements in this area yesterday.The Canadian side stated that some fishing boats did lose contact, but when asked about the specific situation, they also "have no comment."

Although neither government of the two countries confirmed this incident, their performance convinced everyone that it must be true.

Then some people began to analyze the impact of this incident on the shipping industry on Twitter, and the stock market also responded quickly to this incident, and the stocks related to shipping began to plummet, especially those companies involved in the North Atlantic route. , some shipping companies lost a third of their market value in one morning.

By afternoon, more details about the attack were revealed.The U.S. government also publicly admitted this time that the U.S. Navy has had some contact with sea monsters:

"Our buoys detected the target, and we dropped several MK54 torpedoes on the target. The torpedo probably hit the target, and the target sank after being hit. The location at that time was in the Newfoundland Sea Basin, in water depths of more than thirteen thousand feet. This greatly increases the difficulty of the search, and we have not found any information related to the sea monster that launched the attack."

Ordinarily, this affirmation would definitely push up the discussion of this incident again, but another incident that happened this afternoon made this attack even trivial.

This big event happened in Ulsan, South Korea.In the afternoon of the US time and the early morning of the next day in Korea time, a ghost domain suddenly appeared in Ulsan.It is also the world's first ghost town to appear directly near the city center.After the ghost domain was launched, there was no such thing as a large number of little ghosts coming out to attack everywhere like the United States.Only one ghost came out of this ghost domain, but the damage caused by this ghost was much greater than that of the Jersey devil-this ghost was a ghost.

Guixiusan is a huge monster in Korean myths and legends. It looks like a giant turtle, lives in the sea, floats on the sea like an island, and has tentacles like dead branches on its back.It is said that sometimes the ghost rises to the surface and passing ships mistake it for an island.However, there are very few stories about this thing attacking humans in myths and legends. According to the legend, it should be regarded as a big man with a gentle temperament.

But this time the situation is different.I don't know why, but the place where the ghost Xiushan appeared was not the deep sea, but the urban area of ​​Ulsan City.

In fact, Guixiu Mountain did not intentionally attack humans. According to the video taken by witnesses, this relatively mild, large man with a height of more than 200 meters and a diameter of more than 600 meters came out of the ghost domain. He first stretched his neck to make sure. Which direction is the sea in? Then he moved his four giant legs and began to move towards the sea.

And here comes a real disaster.Guixiusan directly walked through the urban area of ​​Ulsan. As long as those high-rise buildings were gently rubbed by it, they would be smashed to pieces, and even its feet would cause an earthquake-like effect when it stepped on the ground.

Two F-15 fighter jets of the South Korean Air Force launched an attack on this Guixiu mountain in vain, hoping to attract it to a direction where there are few people. However, even if they lost all the ammunition they carried, the performance of Guixiu mountain Look, it didn't even notice the two little mites.Instead, continue through the city toward the sea—which kind of smells like what does your destruction have to do with you.

Then the ghost mountain walked to Hyundai Shipyard - the largest shipyard in South Korea.It is also the largest shipyard in the world in terms of turnover.Gui Xiushan walked directly from the factory area, and the entire shipyard was turned into ruins.The tall gantry cranes and tower cranes turned into twisted twists, the huge dry dock and the ships under construction in the dock were crushed together, and what was even more terrible was that various storage tanks filled with dangerous chemicals were torn to shreds , All kinds of chemicals leaked out, gaseous and liquid, and then ignited again, burning the entire factory area into one piece.

The fire seemed to have attracted the attention of this ghost, so this big, gentle man speeded up towards the beach.As a result, the earth shook more violently, and some houses that had barely collapsed fell down all of a sudden.

But that's not the end of the nightmare.This Guixiu Mountain finally ran to the seaside, and it plunged into the sea at once, creating a huge tsunami, and the [-]-meter-high wave swept across Ulsan, which had already become a ruin.And every movement of this big guy in the sea will set off a new huge wave, at least more than ten meters high.By the time this Guixiusan disappeared, the entire Ulsan had been destroyed by this gentle big guy.It is said that some people in the U.S. military lamented after viewing the aerial photos of Ulsan:
"Even if it was hit by an SS-75 intercontinental missile carrying ten 18-ton nuclear warheads, it would not be worse than this. The entire city has been completely destroyed. Although there is no statistics yet, but I'm sure the city no longer exists. The final death toll is probably closer to a million."

Considering that the combined population of Ulsan City is only 110 million, this estimated figure itself can explain the horror of the destruction brought about by this Ghost Mountain.

Several countries around South Korea, as well as countries with military forces stationed nearby, including HX, Japan, and even Russia, all sent planes to track down the gentle big guy.The American P-8, the Russian Bear Bear, and the HX High-tech X followed this guy all the way south.

This guy crossed the Tsushima Strait and continued southward, because it once swam towards Fukuoka, scaring the citizens of Fukuoka to flee collectively.caused massive traffic jams.

Then the guy continued to go south, and finally crossed the Osumi Strait and disappeared into the vast ocean.

The moving speed of this gentle big guy is not fast, less than ten knots, and the whole moving process lasts for a week.During this week, it became the focus of the whole world, and this was the first time that this kind of mythical troll appeared in the sight of human beings.

The media from all over the world may have been shocked by this disaster, so it is rare for them to express their understanding and even blessings to this cooperation.Even the BBC said:
"In any case, this is good news for all mankind. It is hard for us to imagine what kind of harm will be caused to mankind if the sea transportation is completely broken. Now, the world's largest naval power and the world's second largest naval power have joined forces to fight for Escort services are provided for routes in the Pacific and Indian Ocean regions, which can be regarded as a shot in the arm for the world..."

Of course, in the end, the BBC still added the following words a bit sourly: "Although Great Britain, which has an advanced navy, and our allies will surely win this challenge..."
