"As long as the opponent is human, there will be loopholes to exploit no matter what. Now if you are sure that no one from the opponent's civilization is here, then there will be fixed difficulties waiting for us?" Ordoño grasped the most critical point as always. question.
Qiu Yu looked steadily at the unstable sea, and after a long while he said, "The fixed difficulty is probably the landing bay itself, but... I'm afraid there are other difficulties waiting for us..."
Qiu Yu's words were like a command to trigger the mission. Ordoño and the communicator in his hand rang at the same time.
"Have you finally been able to contact someone? We have some trouble here. It's best to come here quickly."
"Kyuubi? By us, do you mean Qingqiu is with you?"
"Not only that, but also..."
The communication that had just been established was suddenly interrupted again. Ordoño immediately ran back on the deck, and ran back more than ten seconds later. "The connection cannot be reached. The signal was suddenly cut off, and it has nothing to do with the communication distance."
Qian Xiao and Li Ningfeng also ran out of the cabin, "I seemed to have received a signal from Jiuwei just now..."
"It's troublesome."
Qiu Yu pressed a few times on the communicator, and the final signal direction was marked.
Qian Xiao came up to take a look, "It's true, we are driving west now, and they are in the southwest, so they have to take a detour."
"It's not just as simple as taking a detour." Qiu Yan also appeared behind a few people unknowingly, pointing to her pet swimming in front, "With her on the current route, she can reach it relatively safely. Landing pod. If we take a detour, we will enter unknown and dangerous waters."
Qiu Yu frowned and looked at Qiu Yan, "But it shouldn't be this troublesome. This is inconsistent with my long-standing reasoning..."
"Maybe your reasoning was correct all along and it was just me that was the problem."
Qian Xiao shouted, "Hey, what riddles are you playing again?"
"It's nothing. If you can't be sure it's the correct content, there's no point in saying it." Qiu Yu walked towards the cabin, "We can only change the direction."
Ordoño raised his eyebrows and said loudly, "Are you going to put us and all these people in danger to save Kyuubi and the others?"
"Are you trying to say that this is an uneconomical deal?" Qiu Yu paused.
Ordoño said nothing, but that was an answer.
Qiu Yu slowly shook his head, "Kyuubi is not a person who would take the initiative to ask for help. Now that he has spoken, it means that the situation is quite difficult. If we don't change the route, it may not be absolutely safe, but if we don't ask for help, they will probably It’s dead. This is a choice between weakening the strength in exchange for lowering the difficulty, and not lowering the difficulty but preserving the strength. It’s very clear which one should be chosen, right?”
"Do you really think so?" Ordoño asked.
Qiu Yu turned around and smiled, "Not entirely. In fact, I am a good person. If it was you who asked for help, I would go there. This is what a companion is..."
----------
Originally, Qiu Yu felt that he might need to talk more about changing the course, but after Su Hao heard him briefly explain the situation, he immediately ordered the fleet to turn to the direction requested by Qiu Yu.
Some of the game participants on the third floor may be reluctant in their hearts, but no one questioned Su Hao's order, and the mercenaries had nothing to say. Anyway, no matter which direction they drove in the sea, it was still a problem for them. it's the same.
The only one who was dissatisfied with the turn was Qiu Yan's pet. It had obviously been leading the way for more than a day, but when it saw that the fleet was not keeping up with it, it speeded up without hesitation and continued to run straight ahead.
After Qiu Yan caught it again, it actually became violent, as if there was something more terrifying than Qiu Yan on the road ahead.
In desperation, Qian Xiao tied it into a rice dumpling with a rope as thick as his thumb and threw it to Jack and Coulun. This move seemed like a troublesome job for the two of them, but in fact, Qian Xiao used this thing to keep them in the cabin. I am afraid that what followed was a battle in which many lives would be lost.
After the fleet turned and drove less than ten kilometers, the sun was still shining brightly in the sky, but a shadow that only existed in the senses made everyone feel that the surroundings suddenly darkened.
People who have been walking on the edge of danger all year round and working with death all have a keen intuition about both. So no one needed to give orders, almost everyone entered a fighting state. Countless guns were aimed at every inch of the sea.
The entire fleet is also tightly packed together with the cruise ship as the center and the destroyer as the arrow.
The depression lingering around everyone finally took shape after half an hour.
Directly in front of the fleet's course, a white wave approached rapidly, and shark-like creatures could be vaguely seen through the telescope, appearing and disappearing in the waves.
"Can you go around it?"
In the captain's room, Su Hao also looked ahead slightly nervously.
Su Hao asked about the helmsman, but it was Ordoño who answered, "No, the range is too wide, and turning now may increase the impact surface."
Qian Xiao said tremblingly, "What are those things? Do they just want to crash into us and sink us?"
"Let the sniper shoot."
Qiu Yu's words stunned Su Hao, but then he immediately had someone execute the order.
Now those creatures are obviously coming towards the fleet. Whether they will anger them or not will have the same result. On the contrary, it is best to scare them away by shooting. If not, you can also first master their defense and key information.
Ten seconds later, heavy gunshots rang out one after another. Except for two soldiers on the third floor who are good at sniper rifles, the other snipers are all selected from people in this world. They were indeed excellent fighters, but they didn't have many bullets to practice their shooting skills with. Therefore, it is difficult for them to hit high-speed moving targets at a distance of thousands of meters. But the number of targets gives them a high chance of achieving the desired effect even if they miss.
Red dots bloomed in the white waves. Although they were few and small, they were extremely eye-catching.
There was a brief calm in the white waves, but after a moment, they rushed over again at a faster speed.
"Stop the advance and let the patrol boats and small fishing boats retract behind the destroyers and cruise ships."
Seeing that if such a momentum collided, the temporary ship would probably fall apart, so Su Hao did not waste time to discuss with Qiu Yu and directly issued the order he thought was correct.
The steel creation trembled and stopped before the wave of flesh and blood. As those creatures approached, the monotonous sound of sniper rifles began to be mixed with the firing sounds of other weapons. Every time the white waves came in, the proportion of red increased a little. After approaching two hundred meters, the part of the wave facing the fleet had almost turned red.
"It's a swarm of sharks. Although the species is unknown, it is definitely a swarm of sharks." Ordoño shouted with certainty.
"What attacked us first was not an alien monster, but a native creature of the earth?" Qiu Yu stood in front of the window. At this time, the shark group was only a few dozen meters away from the fleet. Even with the naked eye, you can clearly see the fierce figures of these sea kings.
The first group of sharks approached the destroyer, and the dense firepower network tried their best to prevent them from approaching. However, the attack surface of the ship's bow was too narrow, and the number of sharks was too large. After a few seconds of delay, the position of the two Overlapping together...
The sharks did not hit the destroyer's steel hull with their bodies, but quickly dived or moved around. The few who did not turn hastily, or were squeezed into the hull by other sharks, immediately continued to swim towards the rear of the fleet as long as they were not knocked unconscious.
A fishing boat that was not in a hurry to retract was repeatedly impacted by the dense shark waves. The hull was damaged and it sank rapidly. In desperation, dozens of people on the boat fired and attacked desperately, hoping to survive until they killed all the sharks.
In the face of a huge number, their wish obviously cannot be realized until all their bullets are fired, until the seawater around them is as sticky as glue, until their feet can no longer stand on the boat...the sharks swimming in front of them are still There seems to be no end.
But when they closed their eyes and waited for death, the sharks just rushed forward as if they hadn't seen them at all.
For a full minute, after all the shark waves passed, nearly half of the people who fell into the sea were still alive, although even they themselves couldn't believe the fact that they were still alive.
Even among the other half who died, only a small half were killed by sharks. Most of them drowned because they couldn't swim and didn't have life jackets.
The rescue operation started quickly, and lifebuoys or empty plastic buckets with ropes attached were thrown to them. It was not until a crowd of people shouted and grabbed these items that represented the hope of survival that the joy of surviving the disaster gradually appeared on their faces.
But in the driver's cab of the cruise ship, after a brief silence, Su Hao and Qiu Yu shouted at the same time, "Don't let your guard down, those sharks were running for their lives just now."
Ordoño had already thought of this possibility just now, but the huge number of sharks was really shocking. If tens of thousands of sharks still need to escape, how terrifying would it be to chase them? But now, Su Hao and Qiu Yu said the same thing as they thought at the same time, then...
Ordoño looked at the calm sea again. Because of the impact of the sharks just now, the red seaweed, whether it was in the distance or fixed around the hull, had been washed away and evenly mixed in the seawater, showing A light purple. In the middle of this purple patch, hundreds of shark carcasses were floating slowly, and their red blood made the sea water turbid and black. It was as if this was not a sea, but a dark abyss that swallowed everything.
A few injured but not dead sharks occasionally twitched twice, becoming the only movement in the calm sea.
Ordoño turned his attention to the location where the sharks came. It was also calm and there was no abnormality at all. But the sea that has always been lively suddenly turned like this, which is the biggest abnormality in itself.
However, humans still have a saying to describe the current situation - the calm before the storm...
