Chapter 92 092-Sea Monster

The next day, the weather in Nanshen was slightly cold, but the sun was shining brightly. It was a good day to hide in a sheltered place and bask in the sun.

The mobile team had just experienced a battle before, so they had a holiday today. If there was nothing else that required them to be dispatched later, they could stay idle.

Even Zhang Shoucheng chose to go back to accompany his father. If he had nothing to do these days, he planned to spend the day in his hometown.

Far away in the Indian Ocean, the sun is just right today, the climate is warm near the equator, and you don't feel the coldness of the northern hemisphere's winter at all.

At this time, on the calm sea, a huge ocean-going cargo ship was cutting through the waves.

Although officials from various countries have discovered traces of giant creatures in the sea, they have not yet been found to be aggressive to humans. The main shipping routes are still safe for the time being.

Perhaps in the eyes of the deep-sea behemoths, the human ships coming and going on the sea are like debris floating on the water, which does not arouse their interest.

This is a bit risky, but there is no way. This is just the era of superpowers, not the end of the world. The global economy is still functioning normally, people's livelihood needs to be maintained, and life must continue. Trade between countries cannot be interrupted. Shipping, a cheap way of transporting goods, naturally It's impossible to just throw it away.

The only difference from the past is that on the main shipping routes, the maritime forces of major human countries will patrol regularly to eliminate risks. I believe that even a sea monster will die if it eats a few more torpedoes.

If that doesn't work, just add a core to it. Unless it's Godzilla that comes out of the sea, otherwise the fate will be the same.

At this time, the daily work on the freighter has been completed. There is a crew member on the deck taking pictures of his daily work and taking everyone to enjoy the scenery on the sea.

In addition to his own job, this crew member is also a video blogger. If it weren't for the fact that the network on the freighter did not support his live broadcast, he would not be able to do video UP. Live broadcasting is much more fun than it is now, and it is easier to gather people. fans, and then change careers to bring goods.

Today's ocean-going cargo ships generally have Internet connections. However, except for a few official cargo ships of Xia State, the Internet on cargo ships is generally free of charge on a scheduled or limited basis. The excess needs to be paid privately, which is very expensive, so the live broadcast is done on the ship. Not realistic, unless you're a captain.

Although this ship belongs to Xia Guo Enterprise, the network is not open around the clock.

The crew member who was filming was explaining to everyone the hard work, income and some seafarer recruitment scams in this industry, while focusing his camera on the sea or the containers on the freighter, trying to find strange materials.

This is basically the best activity he can do to kill boring time besides his own job. Usually he will spend two days to accumulate some materials, briefly edit them and upload them during the free Internet period on the ship.

Just as he was talking about today's topic into the radio equipment, suddenly, there was a rumbling sound from behind, like something exploding.

The crewman glanced at the sky subconsciously. Although it didn't sound like thunder, this was his first reaction. However, the weather was sunny today with light wind and waves, and the weather forecast did not say that there would be extreme weather in this area today.

Then he immediately ran to the other side of the ship and saw on the sea far in front of him. Following several explosions, water columns rose up in response, pointing straight into the sky, and then fell back to the sea under the influence of gravity. , making that area of ​​the sea seem like a heavy rain.

The water mist generated by the explosion spread around, blocking the crew's view.

"What the hell is going on?" the crew member muttered to himself.

"Holy shit, it looks like a torpedo exploded below." Because the vibration of the explosion was too strong, many idle people on the ship had already gathered on this side.

The crew member looked blankly at his colleague who answered, and said in confusion: "But this is the Indian Ocean. The sphere of influence of America's Indian Ocean base group is within the sphere of influence. Who dares to launch torpedoes here?"

The colleague shrugged and said, "Who knows, maybe they are conducting military exercises?"

At this time, another older crew member shook his head: "It's impossible. If there is a military exercise, the nearby sea area will usually be blocked in advance to prevent civilian ships from accidentally intruding. We have not received any news that there is an exercise nearby today. information."

Hearing the explosion and feeling the vibration of the ship's hull, more and more crew members ran to the deck. There were nearly 30 employees on the freighter. Except for those who could not leave their posts, more than half of them came. Including the captain, everyone paid serious attention. to the explosion site.

Nothing is trivial at sea. Once something goes wrong on the vast ocean, there is a risk of loss of life. Seafarers are also a high-risk job.

As the explosion subsided, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but soon, there were several loud noises, sending water columns like white mist straight into the sky. A look of horror appeared on each of their faces. Soon, everyone first felt the vibration of the freighter along with the water surface, and then a gust of wind blew in their faces, carrying a strong smell of water vapor, and the humidity in the air increased sharply.

This time the explosion was closer to them.

"Accelerate and leave here at full speed." The captain ordered the crew while paying attention to the location of the incident.

Cargo ships generally travel at a safe speed at sea, not at full speed. Therefore, for the safety of the crew and cargo, the captain chose to speed up and leave this place of right and wrong.

There was no sonar or other detection equipment on the freighter, and they had no idea what was going on there.

Soon, there was another loud noise, and the explosion happened again, and the distance between them was once again narrowed,

Not only that, on the sea between the explosion and the freighter, a black cylindrical object suddenly emerged from the water.

Subsequently, similar things emerged from the water in two other directions.

"Holy shit, submarine." The captain was knowledgeable and recognized what was emerging from the water in the distance at a glance. This is the area under the control of America. It goes without saying who those submarines belong to.

Further away, a group of ships was heading in this direction. Together with the submarines, they formed a circle, seeming to be encircling and suppressing something.

The people on the freighter didn't care at this point, they just wanted to get out of this place.

The freighter deviated from its course and turned to the north. If it followed the original route, it would shorten the distance to the incident point. At this time, everyone could not care so much and left first.

The speed of large freighters is not that fast. The captain can only comfort himself in his heart while paying attention to the encirclement in the distance.

He knew that the other party was not targeting the freighter, but he just hoped that whatever the other party was attacking could end as soon as possible, or not drag them into the water.

However, things went against expectations. At this time, everyone seemed to hear something roaring under the water. Maybe it was because it was too deep. The sound was faint, but it was getting louder.

When the roar turned into a clear 'arrogant' sound, the water surface exploded, and a thick black tentacle broke through the water and waved in the sky. The tentacle was covered with scars, and it seemed that the end was broken.

Then, more tentacles broke through the water and flapped randomly. Each tentacle was at least a hundred meters long and unusually thick. A long claw hook grew out of one side. Each strike caused a splash of water and a huge sound. .

The submarine that was close to the tentacle was snapped into two pieces when it slapped it, and sank to the bottom of the sea unwillingly, like a fragile toy.

Then the water surface exploded. Probably the submarine just hit it hard before it was about to break.

The explosion did not kill the monster. Although blood surged on the sea, it was still alive. The injury made it even more irritable and it quickly chased the submarine on the other side.

Seeing the fate of their companions, the remaining two submarines had no choice but to flee separately, but the sea monster was much faster than them, and the following fleet had to launch long-range fire support.

After paying the price of two tentacles being blown away, the sea monster dived into the water to avoid damage.

The sea suddenly became quiet.

The captain of the freighter put down his telescope, feeling an ominous feeling in his heart.

"Captain, what is that, an octopus?" asked the staff standing next to him.

"It doesn't look like an octopus. I didn't see the sucker. I don't know what kind of monster it is." The captain's voice was trembling. It had been a long time since he'd seen the monster in the movie and came to reality. He felt that today was going to be bad and said to the deputy: "Call back for help and describe the situation here in detail. I hope it can still come in time."
