Chapter 149: The Vanishing M606
South Africa, on the border between Johannesburg and Pretoria, on a private estate.
"Doctor, three minutes ago, the former Soviet spy ship in the Banana Islands disappeared without a trace." "It completely disappeared from the surveillance radar of the British military," Lena said. ”
"What about satellite imagery?" Finch sat on the couch with his hands twisted and stared at the large screens in front of him, "Will our own satellite be able to find its traces?" ”
"The 'Eye of the Sky' can't find ......," Lena said here after a pause, and said in an uncertain tone, "the sky above that sea area...... Something strange......"
"What phenomenon?"
"It seems to be the aurora ......," Lena couldn't help but add, "I know this is a bit fanciful, but judging from the last image captured by the satellite, it is." ”
On one of the big screens, an image pops up, blurry but brilliant in color, as if you were in a rainbow.
Finch stared at the screen, which was indeed like the aurora captured by a satellite in space orbit beyond the atmosphere, unlike on the ground, because the satellite was interfered with by the aurora, the image was taken like this.
"Lena, what's going on with the British military right now?"
"They obviously can't believe this fact either, and now they plan to shoot the M606 ship and go to the field to see it."
Finch got up from the couch and twisted his arms around the room.
After a long time, he ordered Reina with determination: "You contact the commander of the British army and tell them not to go to the Banana Islands, this is probably a trap." If that ship was a guard soldier of the Atlantean Restoration Society and a guy of higher blood, M606 used to be sent to death. ”
"Doctor, I don't think the British, who want to save face, will listen to us." It's obviously not the first time Lena has dealt with the British military, "Besides, we have been involved in too many military affairs in the past few days, which has caused some unnecessary speculation, and if we continue like this, it is easy to expose ourselves, I think it would be more appropriate for you to contact Sir Harvey directly." ”
Finch returned to the couch and sat down again, he looked up at the ceiling, Lena's words were right, although the "Skycanopy" company has the privileges given by the British Ministry of Defense and MI6, but too much direct intervention in the command of front-line combat troops may really cause unnecessary trouble, especially for a top-secret organization like the "Skycanopy" company, it is definitely not a good thing.
"In this way, you mobilize the eye of the sky to block the communication channel of the M606, so that they cannot receive orders from the front-line command, so that it is estimated that you can delay their progress, and when the time passes, the former Soviet spy ship leaves, and it is estimated that it can hold the lives of those people on the M606 ship."
"It's too late...... Doctor. Lena suddenly said: "M606 has already sailed to that sea area, and it is ......"
"And what?"
"It's missing ...... too"
……
The waters off the Banana Islands.
Lieutenant Commander Jack, the captain of M606, stood on the bridge, holding up his binoculars and looking into the distance, seeing almost nothing in his line of sight except for the strange colored bands of light in the sky.
This made him feel uneasy from the bottom of his heart, it stands to reason that the weather was so good just now, the light here should be very sufficient, and from the night vision goggles, he should be able to see the movement on the sea surface for a kilometer. But now, the night vision binoculars in my hand are like being covered with a black cloth, and I see that it is pitch black, and I don't see anything.
There was a rustling sound from the loudspeakers on the console.
"Captain, our communications are completely cut off!" The first mate looked a little nervous, his face covered with sweat, "We have lost contact with the front-line command. ”
"Switch to the long-wave channel, if it doesn't work, try the most primitive method, use Morse code to send messages!"
"I've tried, it's useless......" the first mate hung his head, "we're trapped now......"
The captain walked over to the dashboard, the electronic compass flickering like crazy, and the direction was completely out of order.
"How can this be ......"
"Captain, we have to get out of here, all the electronic instruments are out of order!" The first mate took out a mechanical compass from his bosom and handed it to the captain, "I can't even find the direction of this." ”
Jack turned out the military compass in the first mate's hand, and the hands on it were spinning in circles frantically, not stopping, like a runaway watch.
"Turn around! Let's get out of here! Jack turned to MI6 agent next to him and said, "Simon, the situation here is too weird, we can't stay long, we have to get out of here!" ”
"I agree!" Simon nodded repeatedly, obviously having a premonition that something was wrong, and no one wanted to joke with their own lives.
The M606 spun around the sea, turned around and sped away in the same direction, driving up to maximum horsepower.
The colorful aurora in the sky suddenly disappeared, the dark clouds shrouded the entire sky in an instant, thunder and lightning fell, dazzling thunderbolts flashed on the sea, and the calm picture just now rolled up huge waves, and the heavy rain smashed on the glass of the cab like dried beans.
"Be careful! Thunderstorm! There was a mess in the control room, and all the instruments made a "tick-tick-tick" sound.
"Turn off all electronic devices and switch to manual operation!" The first officer issued a series of instructions, "Fire flares, send observers, and make sure to avoid obstacles in the sea." ”
A sailor climbed onto the mast and crouched beside a huge satellite dish, by which time the advanced equipment had become a pile of scrap metal and was useless.
"An anomalous object has been spotted two hundred meters in front of the right, ...... in size," the observer seemed to hesitate.
The captain shouted into the microphone in the wheelhouse: "How big is the volume, how much angle!?" ”
At a distance of 200 meters, the maximum speed of the season must be avoided immediately, otherwise a small reef can cause the ship to be destroyed and killed.
"Oh my God...... It's an iceberg! What a big iceberg! The observer's frightened voice came from the loudspeaker.
"Iceberg!?" The captain ran out of the wheelhouse like crazy and stood by the railing outside, raising his night vision binoculars in his hand.
Sure enough, an iceberg dozens of meters high and 100 meters wide was horizontally in front of it, with an angle of less than five degrees, and it was impossible to avoid it at all!
"Reverse! Reversing! Reverse with all your might! The captain went back to the wheelhouse like crazy and yelled at the crew.
The sailors were scrambling to maneuver the various levers, and the propellers of the M606 were reversed at once, and the motors roared, frantically reversing to minimize the speed.
"It's over!" The captain saw the oncoming iceberg getting bigger and bigger, and shouted into the megaphone: "Attention all the crew!" Prepare to ram! ”
Boom –
The M606 was still inevitably loaded with icebergs head-on, and the captain felt that the whole ship was shaking, and he was unsteady on his feet, and he hit his head on the dashboard.
The observers on the mast screamed and fell from the mast more than a dozen meters high like a garbage bag and fell into the sea.
"The front compartment is flooded!"
"Engine failure!"
"The mechanical control room is on fire!"
Desperate cries were heard throughout the ship, the ship began to tilt rapidly, and some people fell unsteadily into the sea.
"What's that!?" A sailor clung to the railing on the side of the ship, and he saw a terrible scene in his eyes, the man who fell into the sea was at first still floating on the water, and suddenly something came out of the sea, and swallowed it in one gulp, only a blister on the surface of the sea, and then a lot of blood foamed out.
"There are monsters in the sea!" Those who saw this cried out in horror and climbed to the high ground of the ship's mast or something.
The man-eating monster gradually revealed its true face from the sea, its huge mouth like the mouth of a catfish, full of sharp teeth, and a chilling light shining in the darkness.
Swimming to the side of the ship, they stretched out their clawed palms, buckled to the steel plate, made a creaking sound, and slowly crawled towards the boat.
"They're on board! The monster is on board! ”
Captain Jack got up and rushed out of the wheelhouse, pulled out his pistol and shot at the monster on the side of the ship. The monster that was hit burst through the blood mist and fell back into the sea, but the number of these things was so staggering that it occupied the entire surface of the sea and climbed up the ship frantically one after another.
Gunshots rang out, explosions were heard everywhere, and someone was surrounded by monsters, and they couldn't help but pull out a grenade in panic.
Jack drained all of his bullets, and a fish-shaped monster scurried up the gangway and threw him to the ground.
"Ahh
Screams pierced the night sky, and the sea became a slaughterhouse, and M606 resembled an iron coffin filled with dead bodies.
