"It's coming again!" In the control room, Leah exclaimed: "This big guy doesn't seem to be passing by, but is coming towards us. There will be a collision in 10 seconds!"
"Ola, avoid it!" Ling hurriedly said: "Attention other personnel, the peripheral weapon platform is on standby, ready to attack!"
"yes!"
Destiny's internal broadcast immediately sounded: "The peripheral weapon platform is on standby, please enter the combat preparations. Other personnel stay in the cabin, please fix yourself, there will be violent bumps next. Repeat... . .. ”
When he heard the broadcast, Feng was holding up the Variant Shark, Haiwei beside him had a smirk on his face, and Yeliu was staring at the ice sculpture covetously. After they all heard the broadcast, they were a little surprised, and followed the Destiny, and even though the three of them were all skilled, they almost lost their balance for a while.
From a high altitude, I can only see the other side of the sea. There are billowing waves rushing in straight, and on the track of this torrent, the Destiny spins to the left at an extremely fast speed. When the time is short, let the waves crash over the port side of your own boat. The black shadow under the sea surface became thicker and thicker, and finally Kaiton, who was outside the ship, saw a giant beast jumping out of the sea!
It looks like a huge lizard, but it is still somewhat different from a real lizard. On the big head like a lizard, there is a pair of strange huge pupils. The pupils are yellow and look like an eyeball, but there are countless small pupils densely distributed inside, and each pupil can look in a certain direction independently. Well, when Kaiton on the ship's side deck saw these unusually unique eyes, he couldn't help feeling chills.
On the big head is dark green skin, but the part extending to the neck forms a prismatic hair. The sides of the hair are forked, and there is a dense cluster of fleshy whiskers growing from the back. The tendrils are short and thick, and from a distance they look like the buds of some kind of flower, covered with raised fleshy balls. From the roots of the fleshy whiskers, blue energy gloom continuously rose up, and then dispersed into these meat balls, so each of the meat balls lit up like light bulbs.
Next, there is a pair of forelimbs like shovels, short and thick, which should be the sharp weapon of this giant beast. On its back, there is a shark-like dorsal fin. On the surface of the dorsal fin are densely packed rows of short yellow spines, which have no known function. The hind limbs are a pair of frog feet with large and flat soles. The length of the pair of feet when straightened is three times that of the forelimbs! And the fleshy membrane connecting the toes obviously gave this giant beast a very strong driving force in the sea.
Finally there is a long, thin tail that splits into three ends like a fork. When this giant lizard-shaped beast jumped out of the sea, its long tail swept a graceful arc in mid-air. Then it flicked, but it hit the sea near the Destiny, and a huge wave was directly hit, causing the Destiny to float sideways.
Kaidon held onto the railing of the ship's side so as not to be swept away by the waves. I saw that the sea water receded, but there were some strange-looking mutant fish on the deck. At this time, the sound of the hydraulic machine moving below the deck sounded, and Kaidon stretched his head out of the railing to look, but the peripheral weapon platforms on both sides of the ship's side opened one by one. The shipboards installed on both sides of the Destiny are not only a buffer space connecting the Destiny with the outside world, but also a storage warehouse for peripheral weapon platforms. The weapons are horizontally located outside the operating system of the Destiny, and have their own independent power system. A row of rapid-fire heavy guns is located under the sides of the ship, and each fort needs to be operated manually. Now, the heavy gunners in protective suits behind the battery are ready to attack.
When the giant beast submerged in the water again, their communicator received a command from Leah: "9 o'clock, 30 meters underwater, shoot!"
Leah is using mental scanning to capture the movement of the giant beast. She is like a live radar on the Destiny, and the activities of the giant beast in the sea cannot escape her monitoring. Under her instruction, all the heavy artillery on the left side of the ship fired together. Amid the roaring flames of the guns, heavy artillery shells blasted into the water, and the strong driving force pulled out water columns in the water, shooting straight into the sea. on the body of the beast.
The giant beast roared in the sea, turned its body, its forelimbs were close to its sides, and its hind legs kicked hard, and it immediately pierced towards the sea like a gun.
"In 3 seconds, the target will go out to sea!"
"Anti-armor missiles ready!"
The missile launch bays on the left side of the ship were opened one by one, and the missiles were loaded. When a huge wave exploded in the sea, the monitor lizard jumped up from the sea, and volleyed over the Destiny.
"Missile launch!"
Whoosh whoosh, a dozen or so anti-armor missiles were fired out of the magazine with flames dragging, drawing an arc-shaped trail of smoke on the sea surface and rising into the sky, and then blasting orange-yellow balls on the monitor lizard's back like cannonballs. Fireball! The flames and shock waves of the explosion swept across the sky, forming rings of fire visible to the naked eye. The monitor lizard jumped into the sea with a roar, and with a sweep of its long tail, another huge wave hit the starboard side of the Destiny. The Destiny was lifted up by the towering waves and almost lost its balance. Fortunately, the waves were suppressed so that the Destiny would not capsize.
The waves surged, but the giant lizard disappeared without a trace. In the control room, Liya suddenly turned pale, and said, "It's right below us, rising rapidly! It will collide in 3 seconds!"
Zero immediately grabbed Lia tightly, and at this moment, the Destiny trembled violently. The lights in the control room flickered and there were screams. In addition, all operators have secured themselves to their seats with safety belts so that they will not be thrown up by the force of the impact from below. However, looking down from the sky, the figure of the giant lizard floated on the surface of the sea where the Destiny was located, and this big guy supported the Destiny on its back and advanced rapidly. The Destiny was on its back and couldn't move at all. The monitor lizard was very fast, like a giant gun breaking through the waves in the sea.
Just in front of the big monster, a lonely island appeared. If the monitor lizard's direction remains the same, it will crash into the isolated island together with the Destiny. When everyone in the control room was helpless, the giant lizard suddenly sank back to the bottom of the sea, while the Destiny still headed straight towards the island under the influence of inertia.
"Full starboard! Prepare for a side impact!"
"The buffer system is activated!"
"The anti-collision system is activated!"
In the control room, the operators nervously carried out a series of defensive measures. Under their control, the steel wings of the Destiny first sprayed blue flames to the right, pushing the hull to straighten and ram. Then, buffer umbrellas popped up from under the left deck, and they expanded against the wind, catching the sea wind and forming a buffer. Cooperating with the four steel wings of the Destiny to spray blue flames in opposite directions, the speed of the hull was finally reduced.
At the same time, air cushions popped up under the hull on the right side. The air cushion was inflated instantly, forming a buffer zone when the Destiny hit the beach, greatly reducing the direct impact between the Destiny and the ground. But even so, the Destiny still plowed tens of meters on the beach, and finally the port side of the ship was raised high, and when it was almost over the highest point, it crashed down.
The hull shook suddenly, but finally stabilized, and the people on board breathed a sigh of relief. When Zero came to the side deck of the ship, he happened to see the figure of the huge beast leaping in the distance, and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly. There was a burst of yelling in the cabin, and Feng ran out of the boat, followed by Haiwei with a smirk on her face. She was holding the Mutant Shark in her hands, the ice block in front of the shark's big head had fallen off, the Mutant Shark opened its mouth wide, Haiwei chased after Feng's buttocks in her arms and bit fiercely.
Feng jumped onto the beach and yelled at Haiwei: "Damn girl, give me back the shark!"
Haiwei made a face, and called into the cabin: "Ye Liu, let's roast it and eat it."
Ye Liu came out, nodding expressionlessly. Feng roared: "You guys have some common sense, okay, this thing is covered in radiation and you won't be afraid of stomach pain if you eat it!"
"It doesn't matter, just take a light bath in isolation."
"Are you an idiot? No one puts food in a light bath!"
While the two were arguing on the beach, people came out of the cabin one after another. Liya walked to Zero, shook her head and said, "These people are really energetic."
"They seemed to be okay after the bumps just now. I still remember that I was still dizzy every day when I first went to sea." Ling smiled, looking at the Destiny that was stranded on the beach, he said: "Let's rest here today, It looks like I won’t be able to leave for a while.”
So the soldiers on the ship jumped onto the sand, and they divided into groups and got to work. Some were responsible for setting up the marching tents, and some were conducting security checks on the surrounding areas, but Gangdo's team was cooperating with Billy's work to evaluate and repair the Destiny. In general, the damage to the Destiny was not serious. Except for a generator on the side of the ship that was damaged due to violent friction with the beach when it ran aground, other equipment was operating normally. As for the hull part, the part of the friction surface has been dented and damaged, but it can be re-launched after simple repairs.
According to Billy's calculations, the earliest possible start would be tomorrow morning. It's just that the Destiny is now stranded. On an isolated island without lifting equipment, it is not a simple problem to get this big guy back into the sea. To this end, Billy and the staff have begun to formulate a plan.
Regarding these things, Zero and the others are basically laymen, so they have the most free time, so Zero called Feng and Kaidon to go around the island, hoping to hunt some prey to improve food like last time. But the area of the island is not big, and there are no large prey to eat on the island, but they found a clean water lake for Ling and the others, and there are plump freshwater fish swimming in the lake. As a result, hunting turned into fishing, and Feng returned to the boat to bring back the extra-large fishing rod he made himself. In the evening, the three returned to the beach with several big fish in their hands.
Although some of these freshwater fish have undergone partial mutations, they live in the freshwater lake on the island, and they don't have serious radiation like those in the sea. Feng purposely went to Billy's to borrow an instrument for testing, and found that the radiation content of these fish was within a safe range, so they lit a fire to grill the fish. This was the first seafood meal they had since they went to sea.
Later, it was found that this little fish was not enough to eat, so Ling ran back to the lake in his shorts and caught a lot of big fish by himself. In the end, even the soldiers on the boat got a share of barbecue. But in one night, at least one-third of the fish in the lake disappeared.
After eating and drinking, and having nothing to do, everyone went back to sleep in their tents. Sleeping on the beach, listening to the sound of the waves crashing on the shore, they soon fell asleep. Zero had already fallen asleep while holding Lia, but suddenly, a very special feeling appeared in his heart. It's like seeing an old friend that I haven't seen for many years, but where did the old friend come from on this island
He came out of the tent lightly, the bonfire on the beach had already been extinguished, only the energy fluorescence flowing through the shell of the Destiny from time to time dotted the night. Although the light was very dim, it was still difficult for Zero. Zero's right eye has automatically switched to infrared vision, so he clearly saw a giant beast quietly appearing from the distant seashore, then climbed onto the beach and walked straight to the woods not far away. And that giant beast was the big guy who suddenly attacked the Destiny during the day. On the top of the giant lizard stood a figure. That familiar feeling comes from this figure.
Zero thought for a while, then silently left the beach like a ghost, and plundered into the forest where the giant beast had entered.
At some point, there was a fire in the woods, and a tall figure was reflected on a protruding rock. But when Zero walked around a cedar tree, he came to the lake where he fished during the day. There was a fire on the edge of the lake, and the owner of the figure was preparing to grill fish. The shadow reflected by the firelight was very tall and full of momentum, but in fact, the owner of this shadow was a short man with a height of one meter.
But he is not a human being, but a human-like life. It has a face similar to that of a human man, but there are some flying whiskers behind the head. Each of these special "hairs" seems to be an independent individual, and their dancing movements are not repeated! Its body is covered with fine purple scales, and there are yellow crystal eyes rotating in the shoulder sockets, chest and knees.
The dwarf was holding a trident, and a big fish was sticking out of the halberd and was roasting on the fire. Behind him is the giant lizard, and now this big guy is lying on the ground very docilely, even Zero came. The monitor lizard just rolled up one eye and glanced at him, then closed it again. It's just that occasionally the long fork-like tail will plunge into the lake, then roll up a fat fish and throw it into his mouth, and then eat it slowly.
Zero's eyes fell on the dwarf, who had obviously discovered Zero, but he was engrossed in staring at the grilled fish on the fire, while saying: "These fish in the lake taste good, I have improved their genes several times. This time, let their flesh become full of elasticity. Especially when they are roasted, the taste is better. If it is not for the sake of Hamemis, I will not let you taste these delicacies. But I regret it now, You guys ate half of it at once, you must know that their breeding cycle is not short."
Thinking brokenly, the dwarf pointed at the golden fish meat on the halberd and said, "More?"
"Thank you, I'm full." Zero patted his stomach and sat down by the fire, "So, you asked the big guy behind to invite us to the island? Respected Beiyang Lord Bellafa you?"
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zero would never have believed that as one of the Seven True Kings, the 100% combat-oriented Lord of Beiyang was actually a dwarf. However, in terms of the strength classification of creatures in the new era, body shape is not the key point, and energy is the key to determining strength. If someone looked down on Bellafar because of his stature, or despised him, then this person would definitely regret it very much.
"Ha, you said Little Green. Well, the way it invited was indeed a little rough, but you still shot it. If I hadn't repeatedly emphasized that you are guests, your strange boat would not be stranded on the beach now It’s in Little Green’s stomach.” Belafal put the grilled fish in front of his nose and smelled it, then threw it to the monitor lizard behind him, but he himself didn’t eat the grilled fish.
Zero didn't think much of what he just said, he said lightly: "That's not necessarily true."
Belafal shook the trident with his hand, a burst of water-like blue brilliance flowed on the surface of the halberd, and immediately cleaned the grease and other substances on the halberd. He glanced at Zero and said casually: "I know that you are not simple. Besides you, there are two ninth-level guys on the ship, and there are several other seven- and eight-level guys. As for you, let Hamemis be willing to do it." If you don’t make a choice, you won’t be too weak. But boy, this is the ocean, you have to learn to be in awe.”
"Okay, then I take back what I just said." Zero changed the subject and said, "I was still thinking about how to contact you when I arrived at the gate of the abyss. Unexpectedly, you..."
"Deliver it to your door yourself?" Belafal hugged his trident and said with a smile: "Come on boy, if it was someone else, I would have asked these cute guys to take you to the sea for a visit. It's you and me I came here specially to meet with you. Tomorrow, I will ask Xiaolu to put your boat back into the sea, and then, go back wherever you came from!"
Ling Yizheng said, "But, Hamomis asked me to come to you. He said you..."
"It's true that he and I are old friends." Bellafar interrupted Zero: "Hammermis is indeed worthy of our respect, because he made a choice before us. But that doesn't mean it, I have to Stand up and help me. Listen up, kid. You know why I hid in the Abyss Gate, because the disturbed magnetic field there will disturb my mother's perception of me, and at the same time prevent the damn knight from finding me."
"Boy, if you had come a month earlier, maybe I would have played with you. It's a pity that you came late. During this time, many things happened!"
"What's the matter?" Zero asked in surprise.
Belafal's expression suddenly became very lonely: "In this month, the aura of two true kings disappeared forever. The conqueror Siroas has already been conquered by others, and the knights chosen by Proseus have gone west. Now the only true king left is me and Black Plague Herbak, this is a losing battle, so why do you let me put all the bets on you?"
"Just because you are the choice of Hamemis? The inheritor of the will of the planet?"
