Chapter 272: King Squid
"What about the 'North Korean Free Army', I heard that the war in the Far North was first provoked by this group of Koreans." Qi Lin asked.
ββ¦β¦ That's right, this group of people, all of them are crazy, and they are also a group of people under pure military management, they don't understand the rules of business at all, and they know how to solve everything with violence. It is because of them that the problem that could have been solved by negotiation has now evolved into a big scuffle. β
"Negotiations? Can this kind of thing be resolved through negotiation? Qi Lin asked with some curiosity.
"Of course, but I'm talking about negotiations, the kind of negotiations where the two sides point guns at each other β although there will certainly be exchanges of fire and clashes between the two sides, but the whole situation will not be a mess."
"Let's take an analogy, originally, we, the Russians, and the Dongying people all held guns to each other, but no one dared to shoot first, because the first one to do it was likely to be flanked by the other two...... But the Koreans don't care about this, they are like a bunch of clowns who spoil the situation, suddenly jump into this circle, and sweep everyone in the circleβ"
As soon as Cheng Yanqiu finished speaking, suddenly there was a muffled sound from the bottom of the boat, and the entire destroyer trembled violently, and the two hurriedly grabbed the railing in front of them.
"What's the situation? Chief mate?! What happened? Have we hit the rocks? Cheng Yanqiu stabilized his body, grabbed the walkie-talkie on his shoulder, and asked the first mate who was at the helm of the bridge.
Although Cheng Yanqiu served as the captain of the "Ningbo", he didn't know anything about navigation, so this first mate was almost equivalent to the actual captain.
"No...... It should not be a reef, this sea area is not a reef area, and the average depth of the seabed is also more than 300 meters, so it is impossible to touch the ...... Wait, what's that?! The first mate's voice suddenly changed, and his tone was full of terror.
"What? What did you say? Cheng Yanqiu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked.
Cheng ...... Cheng Shao, you'd better come up and take a look for yourself......" The first mate's trembling voice came out of the walkie-talkie.
At this moment, there was another muffled "thump" from the bottom of the ship, and a soldier who had not been able to stand on his feet rolled off the side of the ship with a scream and fell into the dark water.
Qi Lin and Cheng Yanqiu quickly ran onto the bridge and rushed into the helm room in one breath, only to see the first mate staring at the sea on both sides of the ship's side in a bit of a daze, his hands spasming uncontrollably.
Following the first mate's gaze, Qi Lin and Cheng Yanqiu couldn't help but gasp, and then asked the same question as the first mate: "What is that?!" In the water directly below the destroyer, there was a large black shadow moving closely after the battleship, which was not visible on the deck before, but when it came to the bridge and looked down, this huge black shadow was extremely obvious.
"At least two hundred meters long! Bigger than our boat! Qi Lin said as he pulled out the railgun he was carrying behind him.
"It can't be a big monster...... Those things shouldn't all be in the deep sea, it's shallow......" the first mate muttered.
"No matter how this thing ended up here, it's eyeing us now anyway, it's not far from its destination, try to keep it steady and gradually increase its speed." Cheng Yanqiu quickly calmed down, and said to the first mate while grabbing the microphone hanging on the side.
"Everyone, pay attention, now there is an unknown monster under our ship, ready to fight! All ready to fight! After speaking, Cheng Yanqiu took Qi Lin and ran off the bridge quickly.
Everyone on the deck moved, two ZPU-4 anti-aircraft machine guns were pushed down on both sides of the ship, and the soldiers used a jack-like device to lift the two rear wheels of the machine guns, and the front wheels were firmly chained together, so that the machine guns could take on a depression angle and aim their guns at the sea below.
The two snipers with Gauss sniper rifles ran to the heights, and the rest of the people had already leaned against the side of the ship and raised their weapons.
It took less than five minutes for the whole ship to complete the combat preparations, but Cheng Yanqiu did not give the order to open fire for a long time.
The huge monster under the boat never showed its head, but it scratched the bottom of the boat from time to time, which made Qi Lin suddenly think of a possibility, and said, "Could it be a whale?" In the old days, there were also incidents of whales scratching the bottom of ocean-going freighters in order to rub off the parasites on their bodies......"
"I hope so...... It's just that if it's a whale, this whale is a little too big......"
The largest whale in the old era was the blue whale, but even the blue whale was only more than 30 meters long, and the black shadow under the destroyer was more than 200 meters long!
"Mutant creatures, it's understandable that they're bigger." Qi Lin said, his tone seemed calm, but the hands holding the railgun tightly revealed how nervous Qi Lin was now.
On the ground, with such a powerful monster on the opposite side, Qi Lin could still come up with various ways to deal with it, but in the ocean, he could only pray that the other party's purpose was really just to get rid of the parasites on his body......
The overtime was full of people, but no one made any sound, and the atmosphere was tense and solemn to the extreme.
And what broke the atmosphere was a terrible shout - "The stern, it's in the stern!!" β
Everyone immediately looked back, only to see a tentacle with a diameter of two or three meters thick and a length of more than fifty meters breaking through the sea and slamming heavily on the tail of the destroyer!
"Knock !!"
The whole deck was shaken!
"Fire! Fire! β
All the weapons turned to the tentacle full of suction cups, and for a while there was a loud gunfire on the deck, and at this time, Qi Lin opened his mind and aimed at the tentacle that was entangled in the stern.
"The mutant king squid, a B-class mutant creature, the overlord of the ocean."
The information given by the brain is very limited, only a short sentence.
But just this sentence made Qi Lin's face instantly become very ugly.
B-class mutant creatures...... In other words, this thing is at the same level as the King Blood Dragon Lizard.
Damn it...... King squid, doesn't this thing live in a trench thousands of meters deep? Why is it still here?
And...... I was bumped into by them!
After one tentacle wrapped around the stern of the ship, a second, longer tentacle also poked out of the water, first sweeping dozens of soldiers who had no time to dodge on the deck into the sea, and then the tentacles stretched horizontally across the entire deck, entangling the bow of the ship as well.
Seeing this scene, Qi Lin understood what the king squid was going to do: it was going to pull the entire destroyer into the bottom of the sea!
