Chapter 273: Lifeboat

The two tentacles of the mutant king squid entangled the bow and stern of the destroyer respectively, and at the same time exerted force downward, the hull of the entire destroyer gradually made a creaking and squeaking sound, and the originally flat deck gradually bent down to the sides, and one by one the screws jumped out of the place where the steel plate of the hull was riveted under the action of the huge squeezing force.

Qi Lin felt that maybe before it was dragged to the bottom of the sea, the destroyer would be broken by the king squid with brute force.

"All weapons, fire tentacles, quick!"

Cheng Yanqiu roared loudly, and the players on the ship fired at the two huge tentacles one after another, not to mention assault rifles, even the shells of several ship-borne 25mm rapid-fire guns could not break through the skin of the king squid, and even a few shells hit the slippery and tough tentacles, and were directly bounced into the sea.

The only two attacks that successfully broke the defense were the two snipers who used Gauss sniper rifles, and two blue-purple electric lights pierced directly into the tentacles - but the problem is that the Gauss weapon mainly uses the huge kinetic energy attached to the warhead as a source of lethality, but after the two electromagnetic bombs were shot into the tentacles, the developed muscles inside the tentacles only fluctuated slightly, and all the kinetic energy on the warhead was dissolved.

"With high-explosive armor-piercing incendiary bombs!" Qi Lin shouted loudly, while holding the back of the railgun on his shoulder socket, and the tentacles of the king squid more than ten meters away were three shots, and the three railgun shells directly tore three huge openings on the tentacles, and the light blue blood instantly rushed out of the wound like a smashed fire hydrant.

The railgun works for this guy, which is good news.

Qi Lin didn't care about being pressed against his shoulders that were about to fall apart by the recoil, so he loaded the three shells again and pulled down the charge switch.

By this time, the entire deck had taken on a distinct arch - the bow and stern of the ship were dragged down by the tentacles of the king squid, while the middle part of the hull was slowly raised.

If the destroyer is really broken, then none of the players on the ship will survive.

Another three cannons were fired, although the wound caused by the railgun seemed terrifying, but compared to the huge tentacles as a whole, it was still too insignificant, Qi Lin roughly estimated that if he wanted to use the railgun to break this tentacle with one shot, it would take at least fifty three shots.

Not to mention that Qi Lin didn't have so many shells, even if he had, his body couldn't withstand the huge load brought by fifty consecutive three shots.

"Cheng Yanqiu, how far is it from the coast?" Qi Lin shouted loudly to Cheng Yanqiu, who was directing the battle.

"I don't know! Chief mate! How far is it from the coast? ”

"Ten nautical miles! We were now sailing at less than five knots, and it would take us two hours to get close to the coast, and besides, the propeller at the stern of our ship seemed to have been destroyed by the monster, and the speed was still decreasing! The first mate's voice came from the other end of the intercom.

"How far is ten nautical miles?" Qi Lin was stunned for a moment, although mercenaries sometimes need to take boats, but they are basically on inland waterways, and he has never learned about navigation-related knowledge.

"One nautical mile is almost one and eight kilometers, and we are eighteen kilometers from the coast!" Cheng Yanqiu replied.

"It's a little far, but we don't have time - Cheng Yanqiu, let them put down the lifeboats!"

The Ningbo destroyer was loaded with more than a dozen lifeboats and assault boats of all kinds, as well as many inflatable rubber boats.

These dinghys were specially prepared by them - there was no well-equipped harbor and towing tugboat at the destination, and the destroyer could not be as close to the beach as a small fishing boat, so the player on board had to use these dinghy to cross the last distance on the surface like a beach landing battle.

However, in the case of beach-rushing landing operations, the distance between the beach and the coast is generally shortened to about a few hundred meters before the boats full of soldiers are placed. Now, eighteen kilometers of distance have to be rowed through these boats, which is too difficult.

However, there is at least a glimmer of life in this way, and Qi Lin does not want to accompany the Ningbo destroyer to the bottom of the sea - or bury himself in the belly of the squid.

"Do as he says!" Cheng Yanqiu thought about it for a very short time and made a decision.

With the current weapons on the destroyer, it is absolutely impossible to repel the mutant king squid, so it is better to fight than to annihilate the whole army.

The hard dinghy was quickly thrown into the water, and the dinghy was attached to a few compressed air valves and rapidly expanded.

Under the command of Cheng Yanqiu, the soldiers jumped into the water one by one, and then swam to the dinghy with all their might, and soon, only his direct elite squad and the crew responsible for driving the destroyer were left on the destroyer.

"It's our turn!" Qi Lin shouted, and then jumped towards the sea.

At the moment when he jumped out of the side of the ship, Qi Lin suddenly thought that this was the third time he had jumped into the sea from a height, and it was unpleasant that the three jumps into the sea were all to escape for his life......

"Poof!" Qi Lin plunged into the seawater, but he adjusted his balance in the water as soon as possible, found a rubber boat floating on the sea more than ten meters away, and swam desperately over.

Grabbing a plastic ring on the edge of the rubber boat with one hand, Qi Lin was pulled out of the water by several hands stretched out from the rubber boat.

"What about your young master, he came down with me just now, did any of you see it?" Qi Lin looked around at the people on the rubber boat and found that except for the hairy Karachev, everyone was just an ordinary soldier.

"I didn't see it, but the young master's water quality is good, and he shouldn't drown, maybe he has already gotten into another dinghy." Karachev shook his head and spoke in a Chinese with a strong northeastern dialect.

"I hope so."

There were already more than a dozen people crowded on the small dinghy, and the soldiers took out the oars equipped on the rubber boat and began to row in the direction of the coast.

Because the king squid continued to stir the sea, the sea area near the destroyer seemed to be boiling and constantly tumbling violently, and the dinghy was like a lonely boat in the stormy waves, constantly rising and falling with the crest of the waves, and within the range of Qi Lin's field of vision, there were already several small boats that were directly overturned by the huge waves.

"Paddle forward hard, don't look back!" Karachev ordered the soldier as he drew his pistol, but as soon as he drew his pistol, he suddenly remembered the size of the king squid, which was larger than a destroyer, and shook it a little self-deprecatingly, and stuffed the pistol back into the holster.

Even if the 9mm caliber pistol bullet is fired against the tentacles of the king squid, it will not be able to penetrate the mucous membrane formed by the secretions on the surface of the tentacles, let alone penetrate the skin of the king squid.

The only thing players can do now is to escape from this destroyer, from this terrifying king squid.
