On January 8, Ross Sea, Antarctica. Search: \(¨¨¨¨¨) Watch fine literature for free
This is a large bay surrounded by a long and narrow coast stretching from the South Pacific Ocean into the Antarctic continent. It is larger than the sum of the two provinces of Sichuan and Yunnan. It is covered by ice all year round. In a beautiful intersection of ice and blue, there will be two There are three deep black holes and long and narrow cracks that can barely accommodate small boats, and below that is the extremely cold sea water.
But at this moment, this quiet and distant ice sea is boiling. Countless chubby penguins and seals are waddling forward and jumping into the icy sea water. The icebergs in the distance make a huge roar. Melt fracture.
"really weird!"
A whaling ship passing through the Ross Sea, the crew on it looked sideways.
Penguins will leave some of their companions to look after their young members, dragging in groups like this, regardless of whether the chicks have learned to swim, and the situation of diving headlong into the sea without thinking is really weird.
"Leave quickly! It may be that the ice layer has broken! If you are trapped here, you will be in trouble!"
All the people on board shouted, but for some reason, the propeller turned slower and slower, and finally stopped moving altogether. Up and down.
"God, what's that?"
A long arm thicker than a bucket broke through the ice. What makes people tremble is that it is not densely packed with circular suction cups, but extremely sharp barbs. Water droplets fall from above, and the snow is so bright that it reflects light .
And then the second one!
It slammed on the hull with a crisp snap, and the steel made a tooth-piercing creaking sound.
The whaling ship lost its balance, its head tilted high, and the icy sea water poured in. Although the crew members who fell on the deck grabbed something solid in time, the whole ship was already firmly entangled. In less than fifteen seconds, It has been dragged into the sea.
A person will die in a minute under the icy sea, not by drowning, but by freezing to death.
There are strong-bodied crew members who survived for a little longer. At the last moment of their lives, they looked desperately at the depths of the icy water. A pair of terrifyingly large black eyes were staring at this side. Stretching out three arms and legs, it easily dragged a boat into the sea, and the two much longer tentacles floated in the sea, allowing seals and penguins to trample on it leisurely.
Unbeknownst to these unworthy sailors, terrible changes were taking place above the Ross Sea.
The ice layer melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the seals that hadn't escaped in time uttered mournful wailing.
Under the cold and deep water, the sea monster's bulging head was thrown back, and its arms and legs were stretched out again. The entire ice layer covering the sea was hit by it vigorously, and it was smashed into pieces immediately. Some penguins and seals fell into the sea smoothly, but It was still a bit late, and some were already twitching in pain in the water. Immediately, many seals and penguins swam over. They did not hesitate to bump their bodies, just to quickly carry these injured ones into the deep sea.
At this time, the crew members who were frozen to death by the cold sea slowly sank, and the sea monster poked them one by one with its tentacles without barbs. They probably couldn't figure out why these humans died faster after they got to a safe place.
Sensing that all the breath of life on the ship had disappeared, the sea monster let go of the three arms that wrapped the ship.
Obvious strangulation marks appeared on the solid steel hull, as well as horrific mottled marks, which were left by the barbs on the sea monster's arms and legs. Spinning at a high degree, nothing can resist it.
As if there was death invisible to the naked eye raging around, in just a few minutes, there were no more wails of creatures above the Ross Sea.
Sea water has become the only barrier, the boundary between life and death.
In another fifteen minutes, all the ice sheets melted, and the corpses of those unfortunate creatures fell into the water, and the temperature of the sea water gradually increased, so that the surviving penguins and seals had to endure the limit and dive into deeper sea water. They are not fish, and the time they can stay underwater is limited.
And this sea monster, which is all squid in shape but more than 40 meters long, was swimming not far from the sea surface. The tentacles drilled out of the sea surface, and the slender and long tips swayed like tentacles. A long water mark was wiped out from the sea surface with a splash, and then it sank immediately, and the infrasound waves that human ears could not discern echoed everywhere it passed. .
As if they got the meaning of this message, the penguins and seals in the sea came up one after another.
But some of them sank into the icy cold sea forever.
Now there is only one whaling ship floating endlessly on the ice-free sea.
This will probably become the legendary ghost ship. The equipment on the ship is good, but the crew has all disappeared.
Or mottled marks on the hull could prove that it encountered a terrible sea monster.
That kind of terrifying creature that attacks ships and swallows humans alive in legends.

At 15:51 on January 6, a certain country’s satellite detected a terrible change in the atmosphere of a magnetic field hole in the Ross Sea, which caused the ice in a sea area of 100,000 square kilometers to melt completely, and the direct radiation exposure was within ten minutes. Many lives were killed, and the sudden thinning of the atmosphere caused the temperature in this Antarctic region, which happened to be in extreme daylight, to rise suddenly, and the sea level rose several meters. Even though the surrounding atmosphere slowly moved to fill it up, it can be called a A catastrophe tantamount to destruction.
Doomsday movies or novels always start like this: People rush to start their day’s work, completely unaware that the shadow of death is gradually shrouding the world, and the world is about to be destroyed. If it’s not that biochemical viruses have spread, or aliens have stopped outside the orbit of the earth In short, the sad reminder that the little person can only panic and struggle in despair in the face of sudden changes.
But when the real end of the world comes, there are not only omens, but also death holding a sickle is always slowly moving in.
But it moves so slowly that it is almost imperceptible.
At most, when people meet, they will say that the climate is getting weirder and weirder, there is no distinction between spring and autumn, and summer will come directly after leaving winter. They support environmental organizations to publicize the adverse effects caused by the hole in the ozone layer, and complain about the increasingly serious global warming. That's all. gd1806102
