From seeing it

Xiao Ling took a deep breath, and began to feel the stabilized Explorer, the bow was slowly sinking, and the stern was slowly rising, and he immediately understood in his heart.

Although the unknown monster with the head of an octopus was eliminated, it had smashed the lower part of the Discovery's bow. The gap was too large to be repaired. The Discovery's bow was sinking, and the entire ship sank completely. It is only a matter of time before reaching the bottom of the sea, and the only option now is to abandon ship and escape.

Fortunately, both sides of the "Discovery" are equipped with lifeboats, and it is not far from the nearest Montenegro. It is not difficult to escape to Montenegro in a lifeboat.

Except for members of the scientific expedition team such as Xiao Ling and Li Zhibao, the elite team led by Sun Tao is also well-trained, and the crew members are also people who have seen strong winds and waves. Although the Discovery is about to sink, it did not cause further panic. Compared with the attack of the behemoth just now, the sinking of the ship did not cause everyone's worries.

Sun Tao kept ordering all the team members to bring as much equipment and supplies as possible before evacuating. At this moment, there was still a little time before the "Discovery" completely sank, enough for everyone to load the supplies into the lifeboats.

Food, fresh water, munitions, lighting and other materials were moved up as much as possible. When the Discovery ship sank more than half, all the survivors were evacuated one after another and boarded two lifeboats.

Seeing that Zhou Kesheng, Yu Tingting, Li Zhibao, Hu Shengzhe, Wang Lei and other members of the scientific expedition team were all safe and sound, Xiao Ling secretly let out a sigh of relief.

In this sea area, Sun Tao took a searchlight and shot towards the sea from time to time, hoping to find the corpse of the monster whose head was smashed by the rocket, but unfortunately the monster corpse did not float up. From the beginning to the end, no one could witness this The whole picture of the behemoth.

Now including the members of the scientific expedition team, the elite team led by Sun Tao, and the total number of crew members headed by Captain Cao Zhiren, there are about fifty people who are still alive. They took two lifeboats and sailed away from this area. Areas stained red with blood.

However, there are differences among the people regarding the next planned itinerary.

For the scientific expedition team headed by Zhou Kesheng, it is natural to go to Montenegro, explore the ruins, and find the truth. This is also the mission of their scientific expedition team to enter here this time. For the members of their scientific expedition team, although there are difficulties, they can be overcome completely. After finally entering this sea area that does not exist on the map,

They are absolutely unwilling to give up and escape casually. Whether they can find this place safely next time is something that no one can predict.

Over the years, how many scientific research personnel have been willing to sacrifice for the sake of the country and ideals, and even paid the price of their lives.

The surviving crew members headed by Cao Zhiren obviously did not have such a spirit of sacrifice. They believed that now that the "Explorer" had sunk, the danger in the sea ahead was unknown, and the communication signal had been lost.

The most correct thing to do now is to return to the voyage immediately and seek rescue. As for exploring and returning to the ruins, wait in advance.

After everyone discussed this, Zhou Kesheng finally decided to divide his troops into two groups. His scientific expedition team took a lifeboat and went to Montenegro to continue scientific research. Cao Zhiren returned with the surviving crew in another lifeboat, contacted his superiors, and resumed his scientific research. Send ships to their aid.

This proposal was approved by everyone. In the end, members of the scientific expedition team headed by Zhou Kesheng and the elite team led by Sun Tao went to Montenegro in a lifeboat, and Cao Zhiren returned with some crew members in a lifeboat.

Sun Tao sent two team members to escort Cao Zhiren. These two team members had guns in their hands in case they encountered any dangerous marine life attacks on the way.

Cao Zhiren also left an experienced sailor for Zhou Kesheng's lifeboat.

Afterwards, the two parties parted ways, and Xiao Ling followed Zhou Kesheng and others in a lifeboat and headed towards the distant Montenegro at full speed.

On this lifeboat, apart from nine members of the scientific expedition team, including Xiao Ling, Zhou Kesheng, Li Zhibao, Hu Shengzhe, Wang Lei, Yu Tingting, Pang Yan, Wang Haiyang, and Guo Zhenwei, and one crew member, the rest was the full-frame crew headed by Sun Tao and Qin Yang. Twenty-three armed members filled the lifeboat.

This lifeboat is powered by a diesel engine, and it is equipped with enough fuel to sail at a speed of no less than 6 knots, and its endurance is at least 24 hours.

After starting, a wave of spray was dragged behind the boat, heading towards the distant Montenegro.

Sun Tao was holding an assault rifle with a serious face. Although he had successfully killed the unknown giant just now, the desperate blow of the monster before it died turned Du Changde into a pulp, and even smashed the only bazooka equipped for this trip. It was broken, which made him feel a lot of pressure. If there is another monster like this...

He couldn't even imagine it, he could only hope that such an unimaginable monster was the only one in this sea area.

Xiao Ling sat on the lifeboat with Zhou Kesheng, Wang Lei, Hu Shengzhe, Yu Tingting and others. Everyone was in shock, talking about the unknown monster with an octopus head, a large number of tentacles and bat wings just now.

"Professor Guo, you are a marine biologist, do you know what kind of creature this is in the ocean?" Pang Yan asked Guo Zhenwei with a pale face.

Guo Zhenwei shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The biggest creature in the ocean is the blue whale, but according to Captain Sun's description and the damage they caused to the Discovery just now, this creature is probably bigger than the blue whale. If you want to say an octopus, the largest creature in the world The largest octopus is the Pacific giant octopus, but its circumference is only more than five meters, and its weight does not exceed 50 kilograms. In addition, there are giant squid and giant squid, but none of them meet the requirements."

He shook his head while talking, obviously unable to understand that such creatures exist in the ocean.

Hu Shengzhe said: "Brother Guo, I think what you are studying is probably modern marine life, but the sea area we are breaking into now may not be viewed with modern eyes."

"Oh? What does this mean?" Guo Zhenwei looked at him, somewhat incomprehensible.

Hu Shengzhe said slowly: "According to the map obtained before, the sea area we are breaking into now was called Guixu in ancient times. Maybe there are some creatures that could only exist in ancient times. I think this is a problem. , I still have to ask Lao Wang."

While talking, he looked at Wang Lei and said, "Old Wang, did you think of it?"

In fact, Wang Lei has been thinking since everyone talked about this unknown monster. He knows the ancient species very well. If there are any records in the ancient books, he must know.

Xiao Ling also looked at Wang Lei expectantly. He was full of curiosity about this mysterious marine creature that could destroy the "Explorer".
