Chapter 469 - 469 I'm Afraid They're Alien Creatures
469 I’m Afraid They’re Alien Creatures
The public was paying close attention to the movements of the nuclear aircraft carrier.
What they did not know was that the nuclear submarines had also set off at the same time. A total of three nuclear submarines formed a satellite defense arch and began an all-weather cruise around the aircraft carrier.
Nuclear submarines were the best equipment to deal with terrifying sea monsters. Once the sea monsters appeared, the nuclear submarines could kill them as quickly as possible!
Now, Wu Mo’s Super Deep Sea Eye had been upgraded.
Now, all they needed to do was wait for the paleontologists to reveal the composition and biological characteristics of the creatures.
Unexpectedly, a piece of news came from the paleontologists. They had encountered an extremely challenging problem in the verification of the golden scale sample.
“How did this happen? There are actually many minor differences in the DNA match with the ancient plesiosaur!”
Wu Mo frowned in confusion.
It would take a lot of time to rearrange and perform large-scale comparison verification.
The original estimate of two to three days was already impossible to achieve. It might need to be extended for countless days.
All parties felt helpless, but they had to wait patiently for the results.
They could only formulate targeted measures by figuring out what kind of creature it was.
The next powered aircraft carrier and three nuclear submarines had begun their daily cruising missions. This stirred something in the public’s hearts.
For the majority of netizens to receive a satisfactory answer, they had specially set up a 24/7 live stream today.
Netizens could watch the nuclear aircraft carrier and three nuclear submarines anytime and anywhere through the live stream.
This was to make up for the dissatisfaction caused by Phantom Wolf’s broken arm incident and the cruiser’s miserable state.
At this moment, Wu Yi and the commoners had a particularly difficult task. They had to give everyone a sense of security with the aircraft carrier.
However, on this day, more than ten golden heads suddenly poked out of the water’s surface. To their surprise, the golden-scaled monsters had appeared again.
“There must be a nest! Entering the current latitude and longitude. There must be a hiding place for these monsters within five hundred miles!”
Niu Honggang, the commander of the aircraft carrier, had a solemn expression as he observed the area ahead with his binoculars.
At this moment, the aircraft carrier’s cabin was under emergency control and slowly pushed forward.
The nuclear submarine had received orders to follow the aircraft carrier.
The ten plus golden-scaled monsters did not know that a great calamity was about to befall them.
When the nuclear aircraft carrier discovered the monsters, it sent an image of them directly to the command center.
The old chief gathered Wu Mo and a group of officers to analyze the monsters’ behavior.
“Look! These guys scatter and gather at intervals. Are they deliberately luring the aircraft carrier?” an officer could not help but ask.
It was possible. After all, everyone knew that these monsters had strong mimicking abilities, and their intelligence was comparable to that of a child.
It was likely that their nest was in the distance since they were acting this way.
However, what was a nuclear aircraft carrier?
It was something valuable to a country. It did not matter if it was surrounded by a few small monsters.
Even if hundreds of such monsters gathered together, it would be difficult to stop the aircraft carrier.
It slowly approached the sea area, but the golden-scaled monsters were now nowhere to be seen!
Under the sea, the nuclear submarine urgently searched the area.
Being a cutting-edge device, its ultrasonic wave detection could accurately reflect underwater phenomena that occurred eight hundred meters deep. The range of its waves covered a radius of ten nautical miles!
The ultrasonic waves looked like three small circles that constantly moved at the bottom of the sea as it tried to find traces of the golden monsters.
However, the result was unexpected!
The golden monsters had apparently disappeared into thin air.
“Impossible! How could the creatures disappear just like that? They must have dived to the depths of the sea!”
Niu Honggang, the commander-in-chief of the aircraft carrier, was sharp enough to realize that the monsters might have instantly returned to the bottom of the sea.
In such a situation, they had to use torpedoes to test the waters.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The torpedoes shot out from the side of the aircraft carrier like a few meteors. They instantly traveled hundreds of meters into the sea and scattered in all directions!
Immediately after, a few golden-scaled creatures slowly emerged, which proved that the torpedoes did not miss.
“Wu Mo, look at their trajectory. They seem to be moving in a semicircle and gathering there!”
The old chief pointed at a certain point on the screen.
Wu Mo also noticed their strange way of moving forward. Such continuous semi-circular movement and winding jumps reminded them of a wormhole transition!
What was going on?
Was their mastery of such movements just a mere coincidence?
Wu Mo’s heart was filled with doubt.
Right then, the screen showed that after the torpedoes hit the monster, golden blood and scales floated on the surface of the water.
“Don’t stop attacking. There’s no need to keep them alive. We just have to destroy them!” Commander Niu Honggang ordered without hesitation.
In the midst of public panic, someone had to bear the responsibility for these creatures.
These monsters had to atone for the sacrifices of the genetically-enhanced warriors and Phantom Wolf’s arms.
They continued to fire the torpedoes, and the nuclear submarine traveled deeper. As such, the range of the fire gradually expanded!
At this moment, the monsters suffered a huge threat to their lives as they desperately fled underwater.
“Keep moving forward, increase the search area, and increase the shooting range!” Niu Honggang commanded nervously.
The high-speed torpedoes were about to undergo an upgrade. They would soon lock onto their invisible underwater targets and attack them!
Bang bang bang!
These high-speed torpedoes had a wider range. Although there was a slight deviation in accuracy, they were enough to severely injure the enemy!
Following a round of torpedoes, several monsters were severely injured, and they could no longer control their bodies. Slowly but surely, they floated to the surface of the sea.
Immediately, a frigate approached the target and used a large net to try and catch a dead monster.
The corpse of a single giant monster was unimaginably heavy. Trying to drag it onto the frigate was undoubtedly a difficult challenge.
However, this was an urgent task for all parties because people were eager to see what this unparalleled beast looked like and what kind of power it had to attack a cruiser.
The live stream chat was open while the whole nation watched. The audience could enjoy viewing the dead monster’s corpse up close.
Someone exclaimed, “Heavens, this monster is too terrifying! No species on Earth looks like that!”
When Wu Mo observed the corpse that was about to be harvested up close, he could not help but be shocked.
Its skin was smooth and scaleless, but its head was covered in hard golden scales. Its thick and sturdy body was like that of a bear, and it had webbed feet.
This monster did not seem to resemble a sea creature at all, but it was no land creature either. Instead, it was like a new species.
“Could it really be the offspring of a plesiosaur? If only the paleontologists could give a definite answer now!”
Regrettably, the paleontologists were still in the midst of their research, and they were unable to come to a conclusion in a short period of time.
