Chapter 475 - 475 Let's Use the Nuclear Bomb
475 Let’s Use the Nuclear Bomb
“That was close! It was too dangerous. He almost didn’t manage to escape earlier!”
The soldiers on the submarine patted their chests and heaved a sigh of relief.
The monster chased after them for a distance and realized that it could not catch up, so it gave up decisively.
After the mission was completed, everyone relaxed, and the submarine slowly floated up.
Through sample collection and testing, the command center would know the specific frequency of the wave particles. They could then analyze why such high-intensity rays appeared in the monsters’ nest and affected the Heart of the Ocean’s information capture.
However, when the submarine was less than five hundred meters from the sea’s surface, a huge abyssal mouth swallowed it whole.
“Oh, my God, what’s happening?”
The scene stunned everyone in the research base.
Seeing it unfold on the screen, Wu Mo rubbed his eyes hard and thought that he was mistaken.
“Impossible! What just happened? Hurry, contact the people on the submarine!”
However, after they sent a few messages, they received no response from the submarine as if it had disappeared into the sea.
The people in the command center were silent, and a shadow shrouded their hearts.
The most terrifying and concerning thing that no one dared to mention before had finally happened.
A minute later, signs of the submarine appeared sporadically, and they tried to reconnect repeatedly.
“Look! They sent a message back!”
“We were swallowed by a huge undersea creature, and we’re about to use nuclear torpedoes to destroy it.”
The submarine began to communicate with them intermittently.
Boom!
Soon, explosions as deafening as thunder echoed from the depths of the sea. It was as if countless torpedoes had been launched at the same time, and they played a soul-stirring symphony together.
A large hole was blasted in the lower jaw of the huge sea monster. The submarine crew seized the opportunity and activated the jet mode to rush out.
Right after they escaped death, they executed a random high-speed ascent mode at the bottom of the sea to avoid the pursuit of monsters.
They chose to dive down and not float up because the submarine’s speed would decrease while it was floating up. It would be an obvious target and be easily attacked by the monsters again.
On the contrary, it could continuously increase its speed when it dived into the deep sea. Besides, dark would gradually envelop it down there, which was beneficial for escaping pursuing monsters.
“Hurry up and return to the port. It’s too dangerous here. We can’t stay here any longer!”
At this moment, the submarine quickly headed for the port.
When they arrived, a group of brave soldiers immediately returned to the base and reported to Wu Mo, the old chief, and the others.
Each of them recounted the thrilling scene they had just experienced with lingering fear.
“Oh, a monster that can swallow a submarine in one gulp should be hundreds of meters long. Could it be the shadow that the Heart of the Ocean detected?”
Had the sea monster that was over five hundred meters long finally appeared?
Wu Mo, the old chief, and the others had solemn expressions.
According to past rules, the body length of the sea monster could continue to increase.
It could go from forty to fifty meters to a hundred meters, then to 120 or 130 meters. Now, it had jumped to five hundred meters.
However, who knew if this was the end?
If this situation persisted, what kind of terrifying fate would they meet?
After Wu Mo obtained the soil sample from the nest, he immediately began to study it. He tried to uncover any hidden data as he analyzed it.
In addition, the wave particle ray diagram from the submarine had also been copied into the computer and presented before him.
By observing the data, one could see that they were dealing with concentrated particles of extremely high intensity.
No one on the base had ever worked with intense particle rays in their research.
In other words, there had yet to be any recorded human research of such rays, but these rays had materialized in the underwater nest!
Not long after, the soil sample was determined.
Aside from the fact that it contained more lithium and sodium, it was almost no different from terrestrial soil.
“There’s actually nothing very unusual about it. Are these two elements the only things that are causing the ultra high-intensity wave particle rays?”
Wu Mo frowned and felt that it would be more appropriate to consult a top physicist.
However, other physicists said that no matter how the two elements combined or reacted, it was impossible to produce particle rays. This hypothesis could only be rejected.
Meanwhile, the old chief began to command a series of confidential operations. He sent out frigates, destroyers, nuclear submarines, and two nuclear-powered aircraft carriers to conduct weather patrols in the area of the incident.
Their firepower was several times stronger than before, which showed the old chief’s determination.
The highest-ranking officer in charge of maritime affairs had been exhausted for the past few days. Nevertheless, he continued to urge all parties to keep the situation under control and prevent the sea monsters from attacking the coastal cities again.
However, things did not go as they wished. The thing that Wu Mo and the others were most worried about happened again.
Boom!
While people were finishing their breakfast and exercising one quiet morning, a large port in the southeastern coastal city of Pingning suddenly exploded!
A terrifying hundred-meter-long monster had descended!
“Heavens, what is that?”
“Run!”
The fishermen at the port and unloaders, who were working on the freighters that had just docked, bore the brunt first.
Hundred-meter-tall waves crashed down and pushed them into the sea or dozens of meters away!
Then, a terrifying beast that was five hundred meters long slowly surfaced from the water.
Its huge body resembled a dark shadow that enveloped the entire port, enough to block the sun and destroy everything.
Roar!
The giant monster’s roar frightened everyone in the port city.
“Heavens, what’s happening? Why do I hear monstrous roars?”
Everyone ran out of their houses and looked into the distance. They saw the huge shadow by the sea churning as if it was about to launch an attack.
“Old Chief, this is bad! A five-hundred-meter-long beast has appeared at Pingning Harbor in Dongping Prefecture!”
The old chief had never expected such news to come from the front.
He quickly informed a group of military officers to carry out an emergency rescue operation. Then, he and Wu Mo took a private plane to Pingning.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at the scene.
Right then, the port was in chaos! As the frigates, cruisers, and land firepower tried to suppress the massive shadow, it let out a shocking roar and destroyed the buildings near the port in a crazed state.
Schools, power stations, supermarkets, and so on were all destroyed and turned into ruins.
On land, people were being evacuated.
Although there were casualties, they did their best to keep the number of casualties to a minimum.
“D*mn it! Wu Mo! We were all wrong. These monsters will fight us to the death! We can’t delay things any longer. We have to destroy them completely!” the old chief yelled.
Wu Mo nodded. He was determined to go back and develop a high-intensity electromagnetic pulse cannon to blow up the sea monster’s head.
Even though the behemoth was heavily injured, its tenacious vitality allowed it to withstand the military’s firepower and continue its destructive rampage.
“Chief, use the nuclear bomb!” an officer suggested.
Nuclear bomb? The old chief had a conflicted expression as he looked at the officers who were exchanging glances with each other.
The nuclear bomb could kill the giant monster, and it would not even leave its body intact.
However, if that happened, the famous port city would be destroyed, and the radiation pollution would leave it dead for a long time.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, the nuclear bomb could not be used!
