Different from the leisurely Little Deer and God-2, the special warriors standing on the deck and patrolling the water surface at all times are quite nervous. Attacks from underwater are more covert and more dangerous than those from land.
Humans are land creatures after all, and underwater is not the warriors' home turf. Compared to their ease in the jungle, the people on the lake appear to be particularly cautious.
Tan Yan looked at the young faces around him and wanted to take action, but was dragged into the cabin by Liang Xian.
"Trust us." Liang Xian said seriously, "The nearly seven months of operations and training have not been in vain. In this C-level world, I believe they have enough strength to deal with all problems."
"I know that everyone is very good," Tan Yan said with a wry smile, "I'm just... used to protecting others, and I'm not used to the feeling of standing aside and watching."
"You didn't stand by and watch," Liang Xian held Tan Yan's hand tightly, "For us, your presence is our spiritual support. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, as long as you are here, we can move forward courageously."
Liang Xian's hands were cold and trembling slightly, but he still held Tan Yan firmly.
He is afraid, afraid that I will leave. Tan Yan knew in his heart that Liang Xian was telling him with these words that the human race needs him, the country needs him, and Liang Xian needs him. No matter what the reason is, he is begging him to stay in this world for a moment longer.
Tan Yan clenched his hand in his palm, using his body temperature to provide heat to Liang Xian and warm his cold fingers.
That was all he could do, but he couldn't make any promises.
Liang Xian did not stay in the cabin for too long. He was the commander of this operation and could not leave his position. He could only take the opportunity to comfort Tan Yan and briefly cherish the warmth of the moment.
After closing the cabin door, Liang Xian became the serious and calm commander who could always give correct instructions.
He has to be strong in order to protect this fragility by locking all the softness, helplessness and attachment behind the door.
Walking up to Yan Yongfeng, Liang Xian asked, "How long will it take to reach land?"
"It will take about an hour at full speed," Yan Yongfeng replied. "Hurry up and train a team member who can replace me. My eyes are almost blind."
"As long as there are talents in this field in the future, they will be transferred to your team." Liang Xian replied, "What is the situation under the water?"
"There is a large group of small fish with sharp teeth swimming towards us, but their teeth should not cause any damage to the warship. We are moving at full speed. Even if it is a mutant fish, it is impossible to maintain the pursuit speed and bite through the warship protected by steel and iron."
"That is to say, in addition to the small fish, there should be other coordinated attacks, and they are very hidden, and you can't see them with your eyesight." Liang Xian analyzed.
"Why do you think so? They are just fish." Yan Yongfeng frowned and said, "Even if they have evolved, can they coordinate attacks across species?"
"This is City B," Liang Xian said seriously, "a big city with tens of millions of people. If the end of this world is global evolution, even fish, the lowest vertebrates, will evolve, so there is no reason why humans won't evolve. But now City B, the center of a country, has become the world of alien creatures. What else can't happen
I tend to think that the life in this lake is organized, and not just the fish, but all the water life such as algae and duckweed cannot be ignored. "
Liang Xian picked up the intercom and said to the battleship's main control room: "Use ultrasonic positioning to see if there are any creatures around that are invisible to the human eye."
After unremitting efforts, the technical department has finally developed a walkie-talkie that can communicate within a short distance in the world based on the characteristics of ionizing radiation. Even if someone is lost, they can still be contacted and tracked within three kilometers.
Three minutes later, the main control room sent a message: "Two kilometers away, there is a huge aquatic creature moving towards us. It should have biological mimicry capabilities and is transparent and invisible in the water. Ultrasound has been used to determine its shape and size. It is a snake-like creature 20 meters long and about 1 meter in diameter."
The visual screen of the intercom received picture information from the main control room. Through ultrasound, they simulated the outline of the aquatic creatures. Yan Yongfeng and Tu Zishi came over to take a look and were both surprised.
"This...could it be... a dragon?" Yan Yongfeng's eyes almost popped out.
Under his keen sight, it quietly sneaked up to them, and was able to control aquatic creatures to attract their attention. Such creatures seemed to only exist in legends...
Liang Xian glared at him and said, "The dragon is a totem imagined by ancient humans based on countless creatures. It is not a real creature. This is at most an evolved water snake. Amphibians are more evolved than fish. In this special world background, it is not impossible to control weak aquatic creatures by means we are not familiar with."
No matter what time, Liang Xian always adheres to materialism. When he was in the dark matter world, ghosts were floating around him, and he could still use consciousness to explain the anomaly in front of him.
Liang Xian's commitment to science is also admirable.
"In less than three minutes it will sneak up to us. What about those sharp little fishes?" Liang Xian asked.
"They are far away, but they swim very fast, so it's estimated to be about three minutes," said Yan Yongfeng.
"In which direction will this water snake attack?" Liang Xian was asking Tu Zishi this time.
Tu Zishi closed his eyes and concentrated for a second, then opened his eyes and said, "Ten o'clock."
"There should be more invisible attacks..." Liang Xian touched his chin and immediately took out his intercom and said to Ah San, "Pay attention to the area under the boat and around you."
About thirty seconds later, Ah San's nervous voice came over the intercom: "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed. The underwater weeds are growing wildly. There's no room to stand on the bottom of the lake. At their current growth rate, they'll entangle the boats in two minutes. But whoever falls into the water will be tied up by the weeds!"
"I see. They want to drag the battlefield underwater. That's their home ground and it's easier to exert their power there. Our guns/bullets/ammunition are affected by the water's resistance and are not as powerful underwater as on land." Liang Xian's fingers tapped the railing. "Then we will drag the battlefield to the surface of the water and capture the leader first!"
There were two minutes left, so there was not much time left for everyone to prepare. Liang Xian quickly called several team leaders, and after assigning tasks, Yan Yongfeng jumped into the water.
As soon as he entered the water, a water-based psychic caught him and protected Yan Yongfeng.
Yan Yongfeng, who could still see in the dark water, swam quickly to the bottom of the boat. Looking at the dense aquatic plants not far below, he couldn't help but gasp. According to the growth rate of the aquatic plants, if it was thirty seconds later, the entire warship would have been dragged underwater.
Once they enter the water, ordinary people and non-water-based supernatural beings will all be in trouble. By then, they will be exhausted just trying to save people, and at the same time they will have to face countless piranhas and a huge snake-like creature whose true face is currently unknown.
It's time to use my 40-meter-long sword. Yan Yongfeng thought to himself, pulled out a small dagger from his waist, and chopped hard at the water plants under the boat.
The long sword condensed by consciousness was not affected by the resistance of water. The sharp sword seemed to cut through the lake water, forming a fault at the bottom of the water.
Help me. Yan Yongfeng silently gestured to the water-type warrior underwater.
The water-type warrior nodded, and he called another warrior on standby. The two of them exerted force on both sides of Yan Yongfeng at the same time. The forces from two opposite directions formed a vortex, causing Yan Yongfeng to spin rapidly underwater.
At this time, Ah San and the remaining three psychics tried their best to stabilize the ship to prevent the warship from being affected by the underwater whirlpool.
Yan Yongfeng, who was spinning rapidly, took out another dagger from his waist, held it with both hands, and under the push of the whirlpool, it turned into a sharp propeller with a radius of 40 meters and a diameter of 80 meters with Yan Yongfeng as the center, rushing towards the endless water plants with irresistible force.
At this time, Yan Yongfeng turned into a water weed harvester. No grass grew wherever he passed. A blade whirlwind with a diameter of 80 meters rolled up under the water, cutting all the water weeds flat with a "swish".
The water plants tried hard to grow, but they were inherently flexible creatures and could not resist the power of consciousness. Before they could tie up the boat, they were shattered by the underwater gyroscope Yan Yongfeng, and the broken leaves floated weakly in the water.
At the same time, Liang Xian said on the water: "Release!"
The spear gun installed on the warship shoots out a barbed spear from the gun-shaped tube, accurately rushing towards the invisible aquatic creature not far from them. The spear gun is powered by a high-strength rubber band, which is extremely powerful and is used to deal with large aquatic creatures. The disadvantage is that the direction cannot be controlled after shooting, so if the opponent is small and dodges quickly, it will be powerless.
Their current target of attack is a creature with a diameter of one meter. The target is huge and there is no possibility of missing it.
The aquatic creature that I thought I was hiding in low profile started to struggle frantically after being stung, making miserable cries. The sound was like a sharp weapon scratching glass, unpleasant and harsh. The high-decibel sound made the people in the cabin dizzy and nauseous, and some people who couldn't bear it vomited directly in the corner.
A feeling of irritation rose from the bottom of their hearts, and some people with poor willpower even had the idea of rushing out of the cabin and jumping into the water.
Just when a group of ordinary people couldn't bear it anymore, the sound suddenly stopped, as if it was isolated by something.
Tan Yan, who was not affected at all, walked out and saw that the warship was protected by a vacuum belt.
They are users with wind-related abilities. They try their best to create a vacuum zone to prevent the screams from affecting ordinary people.
Liang Xian didn't even blink and continued to order: "Explode!"
The spear gun was equipped with explosives, which exploded at the huge aquatic creatures.
The Special Power Team would certainly not be satisfied with this attack. There was a row of spear gun barrels on the battleship, and the spear guns were continuously fired, exploding on the huge aquatic creatures. Screams were heard one after another, and the lake water was dyed bloody.
The underwater whirlpool not only harvested the water plants, but also temporarily prevented the small piranhas from approaching. The giant aquatic creature called for help for a long time but saw no help from its subordinates. Unable to endure the underwater attack, it jumped to the surface.
Without the protection of the water curtain, everyone finally saw the full picture of the aquatic creature.
This is a silvery-white python, with a longer mouth than ordinary snakes, sharp teeth, and two tumors on the top of its head, as if something is about to grow out. Its scales glowed in the moonlight, emitting a silver glow, but at this time, the beautiful scales were stained with blood, looking bloody and beautiful.
It screamed and flew into the air. Two bat-like wings suddenly grew out of its seven-inch body. It hovered in the air in an awkward position and spit out its tongue at everyone.
"It can, it can fly!" Tu Zishi exclaimed in shock, "This is really a snake that is going to turn into a dragon!"
The superpower warriors were equally surprised, as they had never seen such creatures before.
Even the ordinary people who were protected in the cabin endured the nausea, climbed to the window, took out their cameras and took pictures frantically.
Such scenery can never be seen in a lifetime in the ordinary world.
Only Liang Xian was cold-blooded and ruthless. He looked up at the beautiful and fantastic creatures in the sky and said without any emotion: "The defense team is ready to protect the ship, and the rest of you can shoot!"
Its wings seemed to have just grown out and were not that strong. Its flying ability in the sky was not as good as that underwater. Without the influence of the water flow, Liang Xian was more daring to use heavy weapons.
The battleship was fully loaded with weapons. At Liang Xian's command, everyone attacked together. The positioning system helped the soldiers lock onto the water snake, and the sniper even shot through its wings.
The water snake opened its mouth, as if it wanted to spit out poisonous fog, but unfortunately the fog was blown away by the wind-type mutant and could not reach the warship at all.
Heavy firepower bombarded it, and this long-range attack not only protected ordinary people, but also made it difficult for the water snake to fight back.
The attack lasted for about five minutes. Finally, it could not hold on any longer. Its wings were riddled with holes and it fell powerlessly into the water.
Liang Xian looked at Tu Zishi, who nodded slightly, indicating that the danger was gone.
Liang Xian issued an order to stop the attack, and observed for a while. After seeing that the water snake was really sinking slowly to the bottom of the lake, he let the injured supernatural warrior return to the cabin to heal his wounds.
Yan Yongfeng was lifted up by the water warrior and climbed onto the boat. He spat out some water on the deck and lay there helplessly, saying, "What a pity. Such a beautiful water snake. If we give it a little more time, who knows what it will evolve into."
"We had no intention of hurting it. It was the one that attacked us first. We had no choice but to attack in order to protect ourselves." Liang Xian reached out and pulled up Yan Yongfeng, saying with a cold face.
"Don't pretend," Yan Yongfeng patted his shoulder, "You're obviously very sorry. A science madman like you, seeing such a strange creature, can't observe and study it carefully, but must kill it. You must feel more uncomfortable than us."
"I am the commander now, and the overall situation is the most important." Liang Xian's expression remained unchanged. Although he was only 21 years old, he possessed a calmness that was hard to match for people in their 30s or 40s.
He has grown up... Yan Yongfeng sighed secretly in his heart.
The big boy who was in a plaster cast and insisted on attending military training, the middle school boy who ran out of Tan Yan's protective shield in the other world and tried to awaken his superpowers, the weak young man who was struggling to wait for rescue in the strong wind that tore the earth apart in the Shumen resonance world, has now grown into a commander who can calmly lead the superpower team to fight against the other world.
What about me? Yan Yongfeng lay on the deck, thinking back to when he was harvesting waterweed, and smiled at the moon.
I've grown up too.
He shook his dizzy head, used his arms to support himself and climbed to the bow, and said to the superpower warrior beside him: "Please bring me a chair."
Seeing Yan Yongfeng leaning on the chair, Liang Xian frowned and asked, "Are you okay?"
Yan Yongfeng pinched his brows and said, "It's okay. I am the eyes of the team and I can't close them."
Seeing that he insisted, Liang Xian did not stop him, but patted his shoulder vigorously: "If you can't hold on any longer, tell me. I have other arrangements."
"Okay." Yan Yongfeng leaned back in his chair and smiled with relief.
Tan Yan is powerful, he walks in front, and the later generations just need to follow. He can make people feel at ease, but it is difficult for them to feel the storms in the outside world and cannot truly grow.
Liang Xian was not that strong, he knew what it was like to be weak. Because of this, he knew better than anyone the power of unity, which could bring the weak together and exert a power ten or a hundred times greater than that of an individual.
After dragging the exhausted and wounded into the cabin, Liang Xian counted the number of people. After two environments, a total of 103 people were unable to continue fighting. Among them, 12 were seriously injured, 46 were slightly injured, and 45 were exhausted. None of them were in danger of life. There were 197 remaining combat forces, and 303 ordinary people and wounded needed to be protected. The destination was still 100 kilometers away.
No one died.
Liang Xian clenched his fists and secretly cheered himself up.
It’s okay, I can still keep fighting.
In the quiet night, Xiaolu held the Tianshen-2 and recorded every thrilling battle scene in its entirety.
