Chapter 1639
Chapter 1648 The ninety-six-legged octopus
TPC used the fastest speed to convey the decision that took a long time to make to the front line.
Saeki faithfully carried out the orders from the headquarters. Twenty or thirty high-purity energy bombs were stuffed around the soles of the stone statue's feet, and hundreds of high-purity energy bombs were stuck to his body.
It can be said that even a piece of dynamite can be attached to the tooth to show TPC's cautious and serious attitude.
It’s just
Chiba Makoto looked on coldly, noncommittal about the TPC’s decision.
Still, if you don’t experience ups and downs, you will never be able to grow, and if you don’t let it make decisions, you will always have no opinion.
Just like now, when TPC saw the stone statue, it already knew how to treat it with caution and took corresponding measures, instead of being arrogant and thinking that it was just a stone statue and taking no warning measures.
That’s good!
There is some progress after all.
Amidst the clanging of the bells, time was also passing quickly. Before Chiba Makoto could complete a full circle of the cave, the advance team was about to call it a day and return to the surface.
Because night was about to fall, no one had cared about it before. It was just dark. There was nothing to be afraid of. At that time, it was normal to sleep in underground caves in order to catch up on exploration progress. One thing.
But it doesn’t work anymore. After the last underground shock and the attack by the giant black insect and the small Zoga, looking at Luluye now, it already gives people a sense of danger.
Staying in Luluye during the day is still scary, let alone at night when you can't even see your fingers.
Whether they are giant insects or small Zoga, their bodies are all black, blending perfectly with the night. In addition, Lulu Yeye is black, which can be said to be a double cover, while humans have blocked vision in the dark night. , unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, high-altitude balloons, satellites and other means are much weaker than during the day.
One goes down and the other goes up!
Therefore, for the sake of safety, the order given by the headquarters to the investigation team before departure was to put safety first, and would rather slow down the progress than take risks to avoid causing greater casualties.
The team members quickly packed and put away the important small items, leaving the big and heavy ones here. They packed lightly to speed up and left the dark place before sunset. Luluye, returned to the safety of the ship.
Not only the advance team, but also the teams searching the island returned one by one to the ships they came on. Searchlights lit up one by one, lighting up the ship windows one by one and reflecting on the sea. Above, like dots of stars.
On the deck, people were coming and going, and it was very lively.
Some stood by the railings and looked at the sea, some gathered together to chat, and some
Everyone was enjoying a rare rest and letting the sea breeze blow away the fatigue of the day.
Quiet and natural!
Only the sound of the sea water echoed in the night, and no one cared about it.
But slowly the sound of the waves became very loud, slapping against the ship and breaking into billions of water droplets. The impact was so huge that the ship was swaying.
“Why are the waves so big?”
A soldier standing by the railing heard the sound of waves crashing below and couldn’t help but stick his head out and look down. .
The wind is strong and the waves are strong, and now it is just a breeze. Why are there such big waves, and in the sound of the waves, I can vaguely hear ‘哐! Bang! ’ The sound of banging on the hull made people very confused. Could it be that something was floating in the waves and hitting the ship?
The night was thick, and even though dozens of high-power searchlights were erected on the deck, they could still only illuminate a small area, and it was difficult to see clearly from a little further away.
Therefore, the crew opened their eyes wide and could not see the sea, only the fog
Huh?
The crew was stunned.
Misty?
Only then did he realize that a layer of mist had risen from the sea. What shocked him most was that the mist was not white, but a little black.
"Black mist!" The crew member's voice couldn't help but tremble a little. Although more than two years have passed, that nightmarish doomsday experience is still remembered in people's minds today, and now they can see it again, Could it be said
Tom!
At this moment, there was a sudden loud noise from below. Experienced people would know that something was breaking through the sea water at an extremely fast speed and rushing up.
Whoosh!
When the sharp sound of breaking through the air reached the ears of the crew, a soft dark green tentacle thicker than a human sprang out from the darkness. It arrived in front of the crew in an instant, then suddenly bent and rolled up. He grabbed the crewman's waist and easily pulled him off the ship, leaving behind a series of frightened screams, but they only stopped after three screams.
But the shouting had alerted the surrounding crew members, who hurried over, shouting as they ran:
"What's wrong?"
"Someone fell into the water?"
"Someone, come quickly."
"Throw a lifebuoy."
"Lifeguard, where is the lifeguard?"
"."
The deck suddenly became chaotic, and the original leisurely atmosphere was gone, with people shouting and running. , out of curiosity, many people came to this side, stuck their heads out, and looked at the sea.
But what they saw was not the sea, but a patch of darkness like ink, and the next second they stretched out their heads, dark green tentacles stretched out from the 'ink' , spanning a distance of tens of meters like lightning, reaching the deck in the blink of an eye, accurately entangled the crew members beside the railings one after another, and pulled them down.
“Ah!”
"What?"
"Help."
"Help me quickly."
"."
The screams broke through It broke the silence of the night and turned the comfort on the ship into chaos. Some were running forward, trying to save the captured people, and some were rolling backwards, trying to get away from the people stretching out from the sea. The huge tentacles coming out.
In the chaos, someone fired a gun. The thunderous explosion and the sky-high fire made all the surrounding ships see what was going on here. Then, frightened shouts came from the communicator. They were inarticulate and messy, but from the ' Words like "huge tentacles, attack, falling into the water" probably give you an idea of what happened.
So, the battle alarm was sounded, and the harsh alarm sound was transmitted to every room through the pipeline, so that every crew member could hear it. Whether they were dozing or asleep, they all jumped. Get up and rush to the fighting position.
Pop! Snap! Snap!
The lights of each battleship were all bright, instantly illuminating the surrounding sea into daylight, but they could not illuminate the turbulent sea water, because a layer of black mist visible to the naked eye blocked the light. The shining light makes people feel like they are driving on black clouds.
What is even more frightening is that thick octopus tentacles extend out of this black mass, with a total of ninety-six tentacles, surrounding a transport ship in the middle, constantly coming from It stretched out from the sea, launched an attack on the people on the transport ship, caught those who were fleeing in panic, and then dragged them into the ink-like black mist, and disappeared in an instant, leaving only the desperate The screams echoed in the night, bringing greater fear to those who were still alive.
"What is this?" "An octopus?"
"How could there be such a big octopus?"
"A monster, a monster."
“Hurry up and save people!”
"But... we can't hit it, it's too fast."
"."
The frigate's first reaction was to attack, but after taking aim for a long time, it was discovered that it was impossible to do so. An octopus-like tentacle is so huge in size, but its speed is astonishingly fast. From rushing out of the sea to grabbing people into the sea, it takes less than two seconds in total. It can truly run away with a touch.
In addition, we must take care of the transport ship and cannot attack at will, so as not to accidentally damage the transport ship and sink the transport ship. It is equivalent to tying up our hands and feet, but we have to deal with this lightning-fast enemy. It is said that this crew has only been rebuilt for a few years, and even the old navy has difficulty in doing so. Therefore, although they want to urgently rescue their companions, they can only watch one companion after another being caught into the sea.
“Fight into the sea.”
Finally, someone gave an order, and the panicked people found the backbone. They quickly lowered the muzzle, aimed at the bottom of the tentacles, and opened fire in a hurry.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
One after another, artillery shells, missiles, beams of light, and various torpedoes rushed under the transport ship, disappearing into the black mist one after another.
Then——
There is no more.
They were obviously powerful explosives, but hundreds of rounds were fired in a row, but not a single explosion occurred. The black mist in the eyes was like a giant mouth of a glutton, and no matter how much it came, it would be swallowed up.
“There is something wrong with these fogs.”
This has become a consensus, but no one can answer what the problem is.
Only Chiba Cheng, after running out of the room, stared at the fog on the sea.
The dark mist that fills the sea surface looks the same as Gatanjie's, but it feels different to Chiba Makoto.
Just like Ultraman's light, it looks the same, but there is a big difference.
Of course, only those who understand can tell the difference.
Just like girls versus lipstick and boys versus Ultraman.
The fog that now covers the sea gives Chiba Makoto a feeling that is different from the black fog released by Gatanjie.
This black mist can also block light, making Chiba Makoto's induction ineffective. It was not until the alarm sounded and he ran out of the room that he discovered that nearly a hundred tentacles were attacking the transport ship and grabbing the transport ship. people.
But the black fog in Gatanjie will cause devastating damage to electronic instruments, and this black fog seems to be devouring it.
That’s right, this black mist gave Chiba Makoto the feeling that it was like a huge mouth that had been hungry for countless hours, swallowing up all objects without hesitation.
If this is the case, then this black mist is not the 'belly', so whether it is a physical weapon or an energy weapon, after flying into it, it will disappear quietly without making any movement. .
In that case, wouldn’t the monster that attacked the transport ship be hiding itself in its own belly?
Chiba Cheng himself was frightened by his guess, because this was no longer unbelievable, but a form of existence that could only be imagined.
In three-dimensional space, dig a hole in the bottom of a bottle, then extend the neck of the bottle, twist it into the inside of the bottle, and connect with the hole at the bottom.
Such a bottle that has no distinction between inside and outside is called a Klein bottle, and it only exists in four-dimensional space.
And if this monster really hides itself in its belly, then it would be a monster version of a ‘Klein bottle’.
But how is it possible?
How can something exist in a four-dimensional form in a three-dimensional world?
Even Bruton has to lower his dimension and become a monster with a three-dimensional entity before he can appear in the real world.
Unless this mist is just a medium, just like a portal.
If this is the case, then where is this guy's body?
Chiba Makoto quickly scanned the sea surface, trying to find some clues. After seeing a tentacle, he suddenly felt familiar, and then immediately retrieved something similar to it from his memory.
"Give it a try." Chiba Makoto immediately turned around, found Saeki who was observing with a telescope, and shouted: "Where is the remote control?"
"Remote control? What remote control?" Saeki was confused by this sudden question. It was true that his brain was still restless and he couldn't react for a while.
"The buried high-explosive controller." Chiba Makoto said, and ran to Saeki. He didn't care about Saeki's answer, so he started to find it himself.
"What are you doing?" Saeki quickly stretched out his hand, trying to pull aside the hands that were groping at him, but when he touched Chiba Makoto's arm, he found that it was as hard as iron and could not be shaken.
This guy is so strong.
As soon as this thought flashed through Saeki's mind, Chiba Makoto had already pulled out the remote control and asked, "Is this it?"
"Yeah, but."
Before Saeki could finish speaking, Chiba Makoto had already pressed the button, and the detonation signal sent out was transmitted to the high-power transceiver left in Luluye through the ship's antenna. The device is processed by the computer and transported deep underground along the wired communication. It is broadcast through the 'WIFI' left in the 'temple' so that every high-purity energy bomb can be received and detonated.
At this time, Saeki said the second half of his sentence: "It requires approval from the headquarters before it can be detonated."
"You can report now." Chiba Makoto pressed the The remote control was put back into Saeki's pocket, and he immediately turned to look at the sea. He saw that the originally calm mist was now surging, and vortices appeared one after another around the tentacles that had stopped attacking, swallowing up the black mist in the rapid rotation. .
In just a few breaths, the dark mist covering the sea was swallowed up by these whirlpools, allowing people to finally see the sea and a huge octopus floating under the water.
The smallest ship in TPC's fleet is over 100 meters long, but in front of this octopus, it is as small and exquisite as a toy boat, and any tentacle is longer than TPC's ship.
The eight main tentacles extending from the huge body are each one hundred meters thick, and then branch out like tree branches into several smaller tentacles, and then branch out into more. The small tentacles make this giant octopus, with a total of ninety-six tentacles, look like a large tree with lush branches and leaves, and it looks extremely scary.
Having so many branches on a tree is naturally great, but if it were a living thing, it would be terrifying, let alone such a huge creature.
