In the video footage sent back by Gatsby, Yi Chen did not find the Death Mermaid at all, so everything became clear to him.
Feng Yuan's real purpose is not to destroy the monster group, but to capture the Death Mermaid.
The monster group in the video is indeed huge, but destroying them is meaningless to Feng Yuan. Naturally, he will no longer ask each group to join him, nor will he let Group F fight the monster group on the opposite side!
Suddenly, Li Feng shouted: "Look, there seems to be something running towards Changshou Island in the sea in the distance!"
Yi Chen and Aruna Reed looked at the direction he pointed at the same time, and saw a large group of white waves more than one meter high near the horizon in the distance.
There are many dark shadows faintly visible in the waves, leaving obvious traces of breaking through the water behind them!
So Yi Chen turned on the radar on the GR10 lander's power armor and scanned in that direction.
The auxiliary optical brain YC9527 prompted Yi Chen: "18 monsters appeared!"
Aruna Li De and Li Feng got the same results as Yi Chen, and they suggested informing Feng Yuan of the news immediately.
Yi Chen stopped him and said, "Don't tell Group F yet. Captain Feng Yuan is leading them to confront a large group of monsters. Even if we report it to him, Group F will not be able to get Group F to come and join us to destroy these monsters! This way even It may also cause panic among everyone in Group F and affect their battle with the large group of monsters!"
Aruna Reed had already planted the seeds of fear in his heart because a friend he spent time with died in the battle. He agreed with Yi Chen's statement and nodded with deep understanding.
Not to mention Li Feng, who has always supported Yi Chen's work in the 7th company and unconditionally agreed with Yi Chen's decision.
Aruna Reed asked worriedly: "Team leader, what should we do now? We can't just fight those 18 monsters with the three of us!"
Li Feng took the lead and said: "Aruna Reed, I won't fight those ghosts. I want to go to you. Don't drag me along!"
Yi Chen waved his hand to tell the two of them not to argue, and said: "Let's do this. You two stay here and don't move. Watch the sea to see if there are any other groups of monsters. If you find any, please notify me immediately. I will decide whether Report to Company Commander Feng Yuan!"
"Yes, team leader!"
"Copy that, team leader!"
The two responded almost in unison, and also performed standard imperial military salutes to express their inner happiness and approval.
Yi Chen thought to himself: "This guy Feng Yuan must be completely unpopular in the hearts of everyone in the 7th Company. Just look at the two people in front of you and you will know how much everyone hates fighting monsters."
However, these are of no use. As long as Feng Yuan has backstage support, his position as temporary company commander will be as secure as a mountain. Coupled with his strong personal strength, Yi Chen still has no chance to regain it.
After checking the equipment on his body, Yi Chen found that he still had 8 magazines, and said to Li Feng and Aruna Reed: "Give me a magazine each!"
While the two men took out the magazine and handed it to Yi Chen, they asked strangely: "Team leader, aren't we here to detect the enemy's situation? We don't have to fight, so what do you want the magazine for?"
"Click, click" made two sounds of metal friction. Yi Chen fixed the magazine into the slot of the power armor and said loudly: "You two are here to scout, I may need to fight!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the five plasma engines on Yi Chen's GR10 lander power armor sprayed out five blue flames, propelling him to fly high into the sky from the lighthouse. After reaching the ultimate altitude of 300 meters, he drew an arc. Rushing straight towards the sea in the distance.
On the lighthouse, Li Feng and Aruna Reed stared at all this with their mouths agape. At the same time, they thought, "Is the team leader going to fight the monster alone?"
Li Feng said angrily through his private channel: "Clown, you are crazy. Those are 18 monsters. You can't be their opponent. Come back quickly!"
Yi Chen pretended to be relaxed and said: "Brother, don't worry, how could I be so stupid to fight the monsters. You and Aruna Reed stay well at the lighthouse, and pay attention to Aruna Reed. Don’t let him inform Feng Yuan about the monster without authorization!”
With a 'pop', Yi Chen's GR10 Lander Powered Armor fell into the Atlantic Sea, adjusted to submersible mode and then sped away in the direction of the 18 monsters.
The display screen inside the helmet clearly indicated that the distance between the two sides was 33 kilometers and they were gradually approaching.
Due to the size and weight of the GR10 lander powered armor, its maximum radar detection range is only 35 kilometers.
Based on the calculation of the current speed of these monsters, the distance between them and Yi Chen and the others must have exceeded 35 kilometers, exceeding the limit of the radar. This is also the reason why the group of monsters was not discovered at that time.
The radar map on the screen showed a red dot in front, followed by 17 red dots, running straight towards Changshou Island.
In the scene synchronized by Gatsby to Yi Chen, there is only one big Bam fish among the red-eyed wizard's monsters!
After combining his guesses and various information data, Yi Chen concluded that the other big Bam fish should be leading small groups of monsters to wander around in search of the dead mermaids in B25 waters just like in the G33 waters.
So he was willing to leave the lighthouse and go to the bottom of the sea to approach the monsters regardless of the risk. The purpose was to follow them quietly and use the radar detection function of his GR10 lander power armor to discover the death mermaid first!
Yi Chen believed that as long as the Death Mermaid acted alone, he would be sure to capture it with his own strength.
Of course, he was not sure whether he would definitely discover the Death Mermaid before this monster. Everything could only depend on God's will.
Yi Chen was also forced to have no choice. In order to get rid of the current embarrassing situation as soon as possible and get the temporary company commander from Feng Yuan, exchanging it with the captured death mermaid was a good choice.
The worst thing is that the Death Mermaid really has the legendary power to defy the heavens and can be sold for a big price. The first pot of gold accumulated in this alien world is not bad!
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. Yi Chen controlled the GR10 lander power armor to move forward quickly. When he was almost 3 kilometers away, he adjusted to deep sea combat mode and sank into a coral hole on the seabed to take shelter.
He planned to wait for the group of monsters to swim over his head, and then follow them from a distance to avoid being discovered by the opponent.
"Rumble" The sound of water splashing became louder and louder. Yi Chen raised his head and stared at the water while holding the CL2053 magnetic energy rifle tightly in his hand. With the safety on, his finger stayed on the trigger and he felt a little nervous.
If the monster notices him, he will shoot without hesitation and then run away with all his strength!
"Whoosh!" A shadow slid across the water above Yi Chen's head. The water was very clear and was almost 30 meters away from the sea.
Due to the refraction of light by water, the outline of the shadow was slightly deformed. Yi Chen could not see the other party's appearance clearly, but it was definitely not Big Bam.
Because the color is wrong, Big Bam is all brown, and the shadow is black, white, and blue.
Before Yi Chen could figure it out, 17 monsters came one after another and quickly chased the shadow!
Although Yi Chen couldn't see too clearly this time, he could roughly distinguish what they were: 1 big bam, 3 blue-winged sirens, and 13 small bam.
Obviously, the matter far exceeded Yi Chen's estimate, because the power armor detected that the three blue-winged sea monsters that had just passed by fired three of their unique condensation bombs at the shadow in front of them. The two sides were not in the same group.
"YC9527, use the information you recorded to reconstruct the shadow in 3D, record the movement routes of these monsters, and then build a model to calculate their destination!" Yi Chen ordered the auxiliary optical brain of the power armor.
A three-dimensional shadow on the screen in front of Yi Chen kept changing its shape and gradually became clear, and finally turned into the image of a death mermaid with black hair, white face, and blue tail.
This made Yi Chen very confused and wondered whether the auxiliary optical brain YC9527 was wrong.
The matter is not over yet, the monster’s destination calculated by the model is actually the river on Changshou Island!
Yi Chen thought it would be interesting now!
The river that crosses Changshou Island is not wide at most 50 meters. If this group of monsters doesn't know how to swim in, I can shoot them with a CL2053 magnetic energy rifle from both sides of the river.
With the range of the CL2053 magnetic energy rifle, the river can be completely blocked. By then, not to mention a dozen monsters, but hundreds of them can be killed. How can those guys in the water still go to the shore to bite me.
Yi Chen, who insisted on finding out what was going on, swam out of the coral hole and immediately activated his power armor to bring up five thick water lines and pursue the monster group.
Because he was close to the coastline of Changshou Island, Yi Chen became bolder. He wanted to get close to the monster group and see clearly with his own eyes to confirm whether the shadow was the Death Mermaid.
According to the radar map prompts on the helmet screen, Yi Chen's power armor and the monster group formed two parallel lines in the sea, speeding toward the mouth of the river together.
As Yi Chen continued to adjust, the distance between the two sides gradually narrowed to 200 meters, and Yi Chen finally saw the true face of the shadow clearly.
That shadow was indeed the Death Mermaid, and the three blue-winged sirens in the monster group chasing her kept firing condensation bombs, as if trying to freeze her.
Death Beauty swims at high speed while avoiding attacks flexibly. Her overall speed is a little faster than the monsters behind her, but if she really wants to fight head-on, she will be killed in minutes.
Yi Chen had seen the attack of the Death Mermaid in the maintenance cabin of the "Digger 1" mining ship ruins, and there was a huge gap between it and other types of monsters.
Both sides discovered Yi Chen. The Death Mermaid paused for a moment and continued to flee towards the mouth of the river. Her speed increased a little, as if she sensed that Yi Chen was also in danger for her.
The monster group led by Big Bam would not be so dull. After seeing Yi Chen, three small Bam immediately separated from it and rushed towards Yi Chen menacingly.
