Thirty deep-sea submersibles were all launched into the water. At the same time, there were a large number of deep-water detectors and small unmanned submersibles as cover.
On the mothership, Harvey and others are observing the underwater situation through the monitoring screen.
Baker was also looking forward to it. He carefully watched the video of He Xingzhou's live broadcast to understand their operations.
"Under the deep sea, there are many mutated biota, so the bathyscaphes must be dispersed."
"After seeing the deep-sea insect tree, turn off the sonar, grab a sample and run away!"
"With thirty deep submersibles, there is no way we can achieve anything. This operation was a complete success!"
He planned this in his mind, and things did develop like this in the beginning.
About three thousand meters underwater, they had already encountered a group of mutant creatures.
Relying on a large number of detectors to monitor, the bathyscaphes avoided it. At this depth, they only lost two bathyscaphes.
"Very good, only two ships were lost!" So far, Baker is very satisfied with the results.
"No, something's wrong!" Ye Yun already felt something was wrong, and he analyzed: "Judging from the information obtained by our detectors, the density of mutant creatures has obviously increased, and the patrol range has also increased!"
"The Zerg are on guard!" Song Jinghong said, "They are deliberately setting up defenses!"
"Something big is going to happen!" He Xingzhou judged, "Three deep submersibles have been destroyed. The situation is completely different from last time."
"Last time, the mutated creatures we encountered were not very intelligent and didn't know what a deep submersible was."
"Later discovered by the Zerg, the Zerg with advanced intelligence must have understood that this is a product made by us humans to destroy their insect nests and capture samples."
"So this time there are Zerg leaders in the patrol team. After they discover the deep submersible, they will immediately report it to the advanced Zerg."
"In other words, the bugs below are ready! If they continue to detect, it will be a trivial matter if the deep submersible is destroyed. They are afraid of causing chaos among the bugs."
"We must issue a warning to them immediately!" Kong Qing judged, "We can't control how they want to die, but the Mariana Trench is obviously closer to us, and the chaos of insects will inevitably affect the sea areas near us! "
"Yes." Everyone agreed with this view.
"Scientific advice should be given to scientists, lest they think too much." Everyone decided to let He Xingzhou issue a reminder.
They quickly contacted the Ocean Research Organization and spoke to Baker.
"Dr. Baker!" He Xingzhou met Baker during the video call. This was the first time the two had a direct conversation. Previously, Baker had been pulling him to hype him up, but He Xingzhou didn't pay much attention to it.
"Dr. He!" Baker saw He Xingzhou with a smile on his face and said, "You must be paying attention to our actions, right?"
"Now we are about to catch what you call 'alien creatures', and I can invite you to enjoy them together!"
He Xingzhou said seriously: "I strongly suggest you stop immediately! The Zerg have discovered you now!"
"They are observing. If you make further moves, or the Zerg think you threaten their safety, you will be in danger of being annihilated!"
He Xingzhou has made it very clear, but to Baker's ears, this sounds like alarmism!
He smiled and said: "Dr. He, that's not what you said when you did the detection before."
"Now that we have a stronger lineup and more detection equipment, are we still afraid of them?"
"Did you see the mothership behind me? That's a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier! There are more than a dozen ships! Even if there is a real deep-sea monster under this sea, we can blast it to pieces!"
"Baker, I don't want to argue with you about who is stronger and who is weaker." He Xingzhou finally warned, "I hope you can consider this matter from a scientific standpoint."
"Of course!" Baker smiled, "Our technological detection methods are more advanced! Just wait and see!"
He hung up the video call, and He Xingzhou said helplessly: "There is no other way, I guess this is the result."
Everyone was helpless and said: "In their minds, we warn them because we are afraid that they will obtain scientific research results, so the more we warn them, the more they want to prove themselves."
Harvey also watched the entire conversation between the two. Hearing He Xingzhou's reminder, he was quite disdainful: "What does He Xingzhou think? What they can do, we can't do?"
"Baker, don't be afraid, keep detecting and catch a big guy for me!"
"We are continuing to dive, already five thousand meters!" Baker responded.
Next to them, someone reminded: "We should really pay attention. If all these guys rush up, there is still a risk."
Harvey thought for a while and said: "Let all ships maintain a high speed, have all their gun muzzles filled and ready to fire and transfer at any time!"
Maintain a high speed so that you can respond promptly to emergencies.
"At a depth of eight thousand meters, we have lost 20 deep submersibles! We have lost more than 100,000 small detectors!" The operator on the scientific research ship said to Baker.
"Loss so quickly?" Baker was a little surprised. At this depth, the density of mutated creatures was beyond his expectation.
Sometimes the detector has discovered a group of mutated organisms, allowing the deep submersible to avoid it, but the deep submersible still cannot avoid it and is destroyed.
In their underwater detection footage, they had seen the giant sea monster that He Xingzhou and the others saw last time.
"They are too big!" Some experts have begun to panic when seeing these deep-sea giants.
"We have to retreat further, these guys can overturn our scientific research ship!"
When Baker saw the monster twice as big as the blue whale appearing in the camera, he began to feel guilty.
He then said: "Let's move to the ship first, and let the crew of the scientific research ship operate it."
"Go to the mothership?" The experts said in surprise. In their hearts, the mothership represents the safest place here!
This is mankind's most powerful ship, with nuclear power and nuclear bomb launchers!
"Yes, let's go to the mothership!" Baker immediately contacted Harvey and said, "We are worried that the scientific research ship is not heavy enough. After collecting the samples, it will be attacked by the Zerg and there is a risk of sinking. We need to use the mothership to load it."
Harvey chuckled inwardly, these experts must be scared.
He agreed: "You guys can board the ship."
When Baker and others boarded the mothership, a bathyscaphe had already dived to a depth of 10,000 meters!
The glowing, huge deep-sea insect tree appeared in the lens.
"There are really such strange creatures on Blue Star!" The experts were shocked.
"The information released by He Xingzhou is true!"
"Zergs are not Blue Star creatures!" Someone has already said, "This plant can actually breed Zergs! This is obviously a biochemical factory!"
Before, they had always insisted on calling these monsters by the name of mutant creatures. Now, unknowingly, experts have changed their name to Zerg.
They believed that this kind of creature completely subverted Blue Star's common sense of biology!
"Look, there are Zerg species growing in those fruits!" an expert said excitedly, "This is definitely a powerful biological weapon! If we can obtain samples, we will obtain the most powerful biotechnology in the world!"
"Start a fishing plan immediately!" Baker was also excited. As long as he caught one of those things, he would become a world-famous technology superstar!
All the stains from before will be washed away!
"Is this the insect nest?" Harvey, who witnessed the scene, was also shocked. When they watched the video material before, they were still somewhat doubtful.
But now they are detecting it themselves, and if they see it with their own eyes, it won’t be fake!
"Selecting targets!" They now have five deep submersibles, and through the perspective, you can see different fruits.
"Catch five samples at the same time!" Baker was very ambitious. "Surfacing from different directions, this way the chance of success is greater!"
Five deep submersibles, selected targets respectively.
And just like He Xingzhou's original choice, they also aimed to make the deep submersible choose a position as deep as possible. The creatures cultivated in these fruits seemed to be more advanced than the ones above.
"Target No. 1 has been obtained!"
"Target No. 2 has been obtained!"
"Acquisition of target three failed, the deep submersible has been destroyed!"
"Acquisition of target No. 4 failed, and the deep submersible has been destroyed."
"Target No. 5 has been acquired and is ascending!"
"Hurry, bring it up!" Baker was overjoyed. He got three samples at once, which was already three times what he expected!
"General Harvey, please prepare to cover!"
When the five "fruits" were passive, the deep-sea insect tree began to shake, and it seemed to be conveying some kind of emotion.
Then, from the bottomless trench, countless mutated creatures and zerg species emerged, and the black mass rushed towards the sea.
"They are coming!" Xuanwu executives saw this scene and became cautious. Their detectors were also quickly destroyed.
He Xingzhou saw that one of the deep submersibles was torn apart by the swarm of insects almost instantly!
"Target No. 2 has been lost!" Baker received the notification.
"Target No. 1 has floated to 5,000 meters underwater, and Target No. 5 has floated to 5,400 meters underwater."
"Quick, quick, quick! Continue to speed up!" Baker shouted.
"Launch deep-sea torpedoes, take cover!" Harvey commanded.
Their deep-water torpedoes were also specially modified before departure. Compared with other torpedoes, which can strike at a depth of more than a thousand meters, this deep-water torpedo can strike to a depth of about three thousand meters.
Torpedoes were launched one after another, targeting the mutant biological groups. They don't even need to aim at this time, because there are too many monsters underwater!
No matter how you launch it, you can hit the target.
"Target No. 1 has been lost and the deep submersible has been destroyed!" Baker and others only had the last sample left. He was extremely anxious. "We must keep this sample."
"The scientific research ship withdraws first, and the surrounding ships disperse. The monsters are about to enter the attack range. Fire all!" Harvey commanded.
In fact, without his command, the captains of the scientific research ship were frightened to death when they saw the surveillance footage.
Under the deep sea are pairs of huge eyes, as well as all kinds of deformed creatures, some of which can swallow their scientific research ship directly.
Therefore, before Harvey gave the order, all scientific research ships were launched for evacuation.
"Dong, dong, dong..." There were constant dull sounds under the water, which were the sounds of torpedoes and depth charges exploding.
Their firepower was indeed fierce. One thousand meters below the sea level, it was completely dyed red with blood, and the raging water began to set off huge waves!
"Blow it up!"
"Blow up all these damn monsters!"
Underwater weapons are constantly being fired from more than a dozen ships! The intensive firepower temporarily blocked the mutated creatures.
"Target No. 5 is being acquired!" The only remaining sample has arrived at the mothership and is being hoisted up using a pod.
"Great!" Baker said happily, "Captain, we can withdraw!"
"Everyone evacuates!" Harvey was also very decisive. He wanted to explode violently at first, but when he saw the seemingly endless monsters under the water, he felt that the risk was too great.
"Mission accomplished, prepare to return!" All ships began to evacuate.
However, at this time, the observer screamed and shouted on the communicator: "Captain, emergency, we are surrounded!"
"??? We are surrounded?" When Harvey heard this, he didn't react for a moment. They are the most powerful fleet in the world. Who has the courage to surround them?
"Weren't the Zerg underwater being stopped?"
"It's not vertically below us, it's the surrounding sea! They bypassed our reconnaissance range and surrounded us from all directions!"
The screen cut to a nearby underwater detector. Around it, teams of Zerg quickly emerged from the deep water and formed a huge encirclement, surrounding all ships.
You can see from the picture that the number of them has reached an uncountable state, and they are all black and dense!
At this time, there is no need for ocean detectors. Even satellites in low-Earth orbit can see that the surrounding sea surface has been occupied by mutated creatures!
"They've discovered us a long time ago!"
"They are surrounding us!" Harvey suddenly broke into a cold sweat when he thought of this possibility.
Those scientists said that the Zerg were alien creatures with advanced intelligence, but he disagreed. He feels that only humans are intelligent life on the Blue Star.
Unexpectedly, these bugs had already set up traps, waiting for them to enter!
"How did they fool our detectors and lurk?" Harvey asked.
"Our detectors have been being destroyed, and the sonar and underwater radar have been unstable since just now!"
"And these mutated creatures are not within our detection range to begin with. They come from the surrounding sea! The bugs have been stalling for time just now!"
"They are surrounded by Zerg?" From all over the world, senior officials saw this scene through satellite images.
This made them extremely horrified. The Zerg actually surrounded the aircraft carrier fleet. What are they going to do?
"Something big happened!" Qin Peng stood up suddenly and said, "I thought the Zerg would only chase them, but who knew they would actually surround them."
"Do they want to—" Before he could finish his words, everyone thought of a terrible conjecture.
This conjecture made everyone breathe heavily, and they even dared not say it!
"They want to destroy this aircraft carrier fleet!" He Xingzhou directly stated their suspicions.
