Chapter 601 focuses on volume!
"Mr. Chen, the magnetic field here is chaotic."
At this moment, the captain came over in a hurry and told Chen Ziyan his new discovery in a deep voice.
"A disordered magnetic field?" Chen Ziyan thought for a moment, looked at the captain and asked: "Master, how far is it from the coordinates I gave you?"
The captain was thinking in his heart After some estimation, he replied with some hesitation: "There should be still twenty nautical miles."
He couldn't give an accurate answer, because when he discovered that there was a problem with the magnetic field, they had already entered this area for some distance, so he could only rely on navigation experience to make speculations.
"It seems that we have found the right place. The destination should be nearby." Chen Ziyan recalled it and said with certainty.
If it was just a guess just now, he is now basically certain that this sea area is the destination of his trip.
The deviation of this magnitude is already very small in the sea, and it may not be so large in fact.
In other words, the undersea tomb is close at hand.
"But we can't tell the direction now. Even if there are really only twenty nautical miles left, I'm afraid it won't be easy to go." The captain was not as optimistic as Chen Ziyan. He directly stated the current difficulties he was facing.
Now that they are affected by the magnetic field, they have no way to identify their direction. If they move forward rashly, they may successfully reach the target location, but they may also go in the opposite direction.
If you go wrong, no one knows where you will end up.
"Look for any islands nearby. Let's find a fixed coordinate first and then talk about other things." After thinking about it, Chen Ziyan said.
He remembered that when Wu Sansheng and the others came over, they found some small islands composed of reefs near the undersea tomb. If they could be found, it might be helpful to their current situation.
"Island?" the captain repeated in a low voice and nodded: "Okay, I'll do it right away."
This matter is not difficult to handle, although the electronic equipment has been damaged due to the magnetic field disorder. It can no longer be used, but facilities such as the observatory, which mainly rely on people, will not be affected.
In fact, even if Chen Ziyan didn't mention it, the captain had similar thoughts. Of course, he was not looking for the island to know the inside story, but to find a sheltered area for backup.
Although he was now out of the area covered by the storm, who knew whether the storm would sweep over, so he felt that it was still necessary to make some preparations in advance.
After the captain left, Chen Ziyan was not idle. He found a handheld searchlight and began to patrol the situation around the cargo ship.
He didn't do this to find the island. No matter how good his eyesight was, it couldn't compare to a lookout holding a telescope. Chen Ziyan's real purpose was to prevent the Sea Monkey from killing another enemy.
With the level of intelligence shown by Sea Monkey, it is not impossible for this kind of thing to happen.
If he is really attacked by Sea Monkeys without any preparation, Chen Ziyan himself will be fine, but others on the ship may not be.
Although I don’t know that I will die if I touch it, heavy damage is definitely inevitable.
Chen Ziyan didn’t want to even arrive at the entrance of the tomb. The prepared men would not be enough.
You must know that he still expects these people to help him attract the Wang family after returning, but it is not feasible to keep them all here.
Of course, among the temporary workers hired by Chen Ziyan, there are not without powerful characters. Those who had launched a counterattack against him in the past should be able to go back safely as long as their luck was not too bad.
After all, they dared to launch a counterattack against the Sea Monkeys at that moment without thinking. Compared to the hot-blooded explanations from above, Chen Ziyan was more willing to believe that they were confident in their own strength. Chen Ziyan even seriously suspected that there was someone secretly affiliated with the Wang family among these people, but he couldn't be sure.
So he no longer places hope on this, but still follows his original idea, trying to let more people go back alive successfully, and find a way for them to put this The process of going to sea for the first time spread.
Well, the main focus is on volume!
What Chen Ziyan did not expect was that the escaping sea monkeys did not go into the depths at all, but ran to the outermost edge of the storm under the leadership of the sea monkey leader.
Although the storm circle becomes more violent as it reaches the outer layer, this has little impact on the sea monkeys because the floating island they live on is not affected by wind and waves.
Yes, the boat that Chen Ziyan determined had a strange floating island had reached the outermost edge of the storm circle at some point.
The sea monkeys followed because their nest was here.
Just when Chen Ziyan was holding a searchlight and watching out for sea monkeys, the sea monkeys welcomed a new guest in the storm.
This is a fleet composed of five fishing boats. It can be seen from the models of these boats that this fleet was put together temporarily.
However, the people on the boat were not just a mob, because judging from the equipment of these people, they were probably from the same force.
It’s just that although these people seem to be well-trained, when they face the sea monkeys, they collapse immediately.
Of course, there is also a reason why the sea monkeys learn to be smart.
Perhaps learning from the experience last time, this time the sea monkeys actually entered the sea first. Taking advantage of the attention of the people on the boat being attracted by the floating island, they jumped out of the sea and launched an attack.
The sound of gunshots, shouts, and roars came one after another. For a while, the area was chaotic and abnormal, and even the storm could not suppress it.
Ten minutes later, two fishing boats rushed out of the storm and fled wildly into the distance, while the remaining three fishing boats stayed in place.
If someone looks down from above, they will find that the floating island has appeared in the middle of the three fishing boats at some point, as if it has suction, attracting the three fishing boats to itself.
Soon, the three fishing boats completely fit on the edge of the floating island and became part of the floating island.
At this time, after the two escaping fishing boats were sure that the Sea Monkeys had not chased them out, the people on them breathed a sigh of relief and quickly contacted each other to inquire about the situation.
On one of the ships, after ending the communication, a person's lips trembled a few times, and he said with some fear:
"Three ships...are just gone?"
"It happened so suddenly..." another person whispered.
No one denies this. Things did happen too suddenly. Otherwise, even if they were still defeated by the enemy in the end, they would at least have one or two more ships.
"That must be a sea monkey, right?" The person recalled before and asked with some uncertainty.
"Sea Monkey? It looks similar, but a little bit different. I really don't know how the people in front got there."
"Maybe it's just luck, this place is so beautiful It’s evil!”
Amidst the discussion, the two fishing boats that escaped from the storm area slowly disappeared into the horizon.
