Chapter 198 Encounter (two in one chapter)
Sonar Gang reminded: "Searching monsters a hundred nautical miles in front of the left."
"Has it been confirmed?" Feng Ting asked.
"The simulation image has been drawn, and there is a high probability that it is a level 4 monster. The opponent swims very quickly. If the course does not change, both sides will encounter it in about 40 minutes."
"Adjust the route to sail to the south and try to avoid direct encounters with monsters."
Although there is still a distance between them, everyone on the Expedition cannot help but feel nervous.
Compared with human warships, monsters in the underwater world can be said to be able to move with ease.
The locations of monsters and Expeditions are constantly updated in real time on the screen, and then suddenly, two points become three points.
"Another monster appeared from behind us, and from the collected signals, it was also a level 4 monster."
"We really broke into the monster's nest. This posture was simply attacked by front and back."
"Captain, from the trajectory of the monster, our situation is not good. No matter which direction we go, the probability of encountering the monster is very high."
"Then implement the turtle plan. We sink to the bottom of the sea and do not do any other actions for the time being. We should integrate with the marine environment as much as possible.
It's just a matter of trying to see if our cover can avoid the perception of monsters."
Feng Ting immediately ordered that the Expedition quickly moved, and the power system changed mode to speed up the hull sinking.
After more than ten minutes of work, the Expedition dived for nearly 100 meters, and then slowly sank to the seabed rock formation under the guidance of the dispatched robot.
There are also huge dark and terrifying trenches near the rock formations. They still cannot see through the sonar and radar detection of Expedition. On the map, it seems like an area wrapped in fog, which makes people easily think of something bad.
"The entire ship has entered silent mode, the factory has suspended production, and the power system is also maintaining the most basic operating state, and the energy of the hull has been completely converted into power system supply."
After the order was issued, Feng Ting also wanted all staff to announce the current situation so that everyone could be mentally prepared.
The Expedition Base Ship was lying on the rock formation under the sea, and the mechanical hook claws extended into the rock formation stabilized the posture of the entire hull.
After many sources of sounding in the hull were closed, the interior fell into extremely strange silence.
The shadow of the monster lingers in everyone's heart. Even if there is no ban on voice, most people choose to keep silent. Even if some people are communicating, they subconsciously lower their voices.
Lu Yu also temporarily stopped the work at hand and came to the command cabin.
On one side of the command module, the holographic projection image combines the images collected by the Expedition and the sensors sent out to display them in a simulated image.
Feng Ting, General Hughes and Lu Yu stood by the image together. General Hughes couldn't help but ask Lu Yu: "Mr. Lu, we should be able to avoid the monster's spy, right?"
Lu Yu shrugged: "Although we tried our best to understand the pioneer civilization and these monsters, we have never been able to completely uncover the veil on the opposite side because of the existence of a certain risk.
So we don’t know whether the monster’s perception ability is just as shown on the land battlefield or what is special, which also becomes the risk of our further action.
It must be admitted that when there are so many madmen in humans who have synesthesia connections with pioneers, the various human civilizations have been fully understood by pioneers and monsters, and even from the performance of the battlefield, they have learned many of the strengths of human beings."
Feng Ting smiled bitterly: "In fact, in a sense, the more unexpected and serious the challenges we encounter from monsters before entering the pioneer realm, the more benefits we will have for our future expeditions."
Seeing that General Hughes was still a little nervous, Feng Ting patted his shoulder: "You are unwilling to rest, but you have to fight for a long time. It won't work if your body is broken. Take advantage of this time to go back and sleep for a while."
General Hughes originally subconsciously wanted to refuse, but after Feng Ting touched him gently, General Hughes immediately yawned: "I'm very tired, so I'll go to sleep for a while, hoping that the monster had left the neighborhood when I woke up."
After General Hughes left, Lu Yu asked: "It seems that you used your ability?"
Feng Ting took out a bottle of vodka from his arms, turned it out two glass cups, poured it on and gave Lu Yu a cup: "No, but you should have seen it too. I have been deliberately reducing the use of special abilities, including contracts.
Reincarnators who can walk along the way should each have their own way to make themselves stronger.
From my observation, your way should probably be related to diligence.”
Lu Yu never took the initiative to reveal his understanding and understanding of diligence to others, but Feng Ting could see through observation that Lu Yu relied on diligence to make continuous progress, which was quite insightful.
So Lu Yu took the initiative to clink the glass, then drank the wine in the glass in a big mouthful, and his body suddenly became warm under the stimulation of alcohol.
Feng Ting was even more generous. He killed a whole cup of vodka directly, and then took a breath to his left index finger to relieve the spicy taste. That was his usual smoking hand, and the smell of smoke could not be removed.
"Julia, from the way I observed her fighting, I can use a unique word to describe her, that is, "recky".
Through repeated death battles, her combat effectiveness has also been continuously improved.
There is also King Shrek, who doesn't seem to have any special abilities, but he also gives people the feeling that they should not be underestimated.
I guess he is like some of the reincarnations I have seen, he is a "civilian" with no special abilities.
But the "civilians" do not have their own survival. I think the powerful way is Shrek's way is the "power of choice".
His infinite trust in you is a choice, and you not only have strong abilities, but also have enough tolerance to protect him.
He also made a choice about his situation. Since he had a lot of wealth as a king, he could have found a comfort zone to hide and be free and waited for other reincarnations to face this surging flood.
But what he did was to support you in opening up a base, work hard to assume the responsibility of copy identity, properly resettle his citizens, and then come to the front line of attacking the pioneer civilization without hesitation and participate in this nearly lifeless battle.
This is also his choice. Although the risks are huge, it may bring him some rewards and great ones.
I dared to guess that the report from the Reincarnation Mall to him was not some specific abilities or props like you and me, but some invisible things that could make him stronger and go further in the future."
Being in the same camp with a wise reincarnation person, being able to stop and talk like a friend is also a pleasure, which allows Lu Yu to relax while the Expedition is threatened by monsters.
"Tell me about Chen Tianming. To be honest, I can't even understand him, but he made up his mind to hang out with me and Fat Brother. I want to hear your opinion and what is his situation."
Feng Ting was not in a hurry to answer, picked up the bottle and prepared to pour the wine, but the hull shaking violently at this time.
"Reported that a monster stopped at a nearby location of about fifty kilometers, and seemed to be walking or taking action at the bottom of the sea, which in short triggered a vibration on the bottom of the sea."
One person reported, Lu Yu waved his hand: "This distance is not enough to break through the cover of the fog of war. It doesn't matter, just observe it."
As he said that, he took out his own Fenjiu and gave Feng Ting a full cup.
Feng Ting's drunkard was exposed, and his eyes shone brightly at the wine body, then sniffed it with satisfaction, and then sucked the wine little by little: "Apart from the surgery, Chen Tianming has two brushes, and he is simply a waste...
Look at his performance, it doesn’t look like a reincarnation person who should have a level. Not to mention a reincarnation person with a doctor’s rank, even if I go to recruit a few experienced surgeons, they are actually similar to him.
If I had to say, it must be that he had experienced too few copies and had not figured out what he had, so he followed you and your friends.
Too early to be protected and lack of copy beaten.
I heard that this guy was assigned to be a veterinarian in a small mountain village in an inland area, but he was really a veterinarian for a long time. If you didn’t go to find him, would this guy have to continue to be a veterinarian in the village and then save enough money to get a mountain wife?
Let’s take a look. When we go to the most difficult battlefield, maybe this kid can truly enlighten and find his own way.”
The two had another drink, and Feng Ting talked about himself: "Tell me, I already have three copies of them who are deliberately not using special abilities.
No matter what I face, I try my best to rely on my mind and a good body to find a way to solve it.
This is my way, because leadership is actually an extension of brain power. Some special abilities, such as the method I bewitched Hughes just now, can improve my leadership efficiency in a short period of time, but it is not conducive to me training my brain power and fundamentally improving my leadership."
"It's interesting." Lu Yu happily took out a handful of peanuts, which were roasted with charcoal, and it was very crispy.
Feng Ting continued: "Does this sound like your diligence or Julia push herself into a dead end?
But it's really different, because I'm not just doing this to make myself smart.
Leaders have a special ability, well...what should I say?
Be competing with virtue? Be competing with temperament? Be competing with strength?
These words are too biased and monotonous. To put it more difficult to say, leaders should gather everything they have as leaders into leadership, and thus make this leadership a concrete ability.
Well, it's like...
Well, if my path could keep going, maybe one day I would not rely on some mecha or weapons to deal with monsters, but I was standing in front of the monsters, and just a look in my eyes to kill the monsters to pieces."
"Hey, this is not a bit similar to the 'dominating' in the anime. Maybe other ranks of us can practice."
Lu Yu rolled his eyes, his body shaking with the hull shaking but did not feel like he fell down at all.
The two looked at each other and smiled. Seeing the two commanders of the Expedition so calm, the crew members were relieved a lot and they were at ease to observe the surrounding situation with peace of mind.
In the kitchen, the sound of chopping the chopping board with a kitchen knife is coherent and orderly, and is not affected by the vibration caused by monsters at all.
The chef said to his companion next to him happily: "Hurry up and prepare the meal. If we really fight, we can't let our comrades fight hungry!"
At this time, most of the posts in the Expedition had already fastened their seats on their seats and were ready to face possible collisions between monsters and warships.
"Master, let me have a word." A pair of mechanics are responsible for the equipment maintenance of the torpedo missile bay. At this moment, the combat team is waiting nervously outside for combat orders.
The master and the apprentice were sitting at the corner that was not irritating, and the master was siping wine with a stainless steel bottle.
In the special combat environment, Expedition did not completely prohibit drinking. After all, this battle between humans and giant beasts always required great courage.
The teacher looked at his apprentice and finally handed over the wine pot: "Drinke less, your little alcohol content can't stand this."
But it was too late to remind him. Although his apprentice was not good at drinking, he drank a large mouthful of fear, which made him cry and snot flow.
The master snatched the wine pot: "How about it, you're not so dying. If we need both of us later, we can even bite the bullet."
There are more personnel in the mechanical team in the propulsion cabin. They must always keep their nerves on the operation of the equipment. Otherwise, if there is a mistake when the Expedition needs to be started, it will be a major event that is at risk for the entire ship.
These guys are the best among technicians, all of whom are very skilled and brave. They are gathered together to listen to the command room's report on the situation of the monsters.
"Monster No. 1 and Monster No. 2 seem to be converging. The routes of the two are crossing each other, but the intersection is not on this ship."
"The second monster is only ten kilometers away from this ship. The situation is urgent. Please make various emergency preparations."
While listening to the situation report, several people were betting.
"I bet on a day's snack quota, and the monsters can't meet us."
"Haha, if you bet on this, why bother me and two packs of cigarettes?"
"I see, there is a high probability that the monsters will not meet us. It's more interesting to bet on which direction these two monsters will go in the future."
"Agree, I guess, where is the population gathering and weak defense now?
Damn, are they going to work in Africa or South America?
Without us, can we still fight a decent blocking battle on land like last time?"
"I guess it's better not to bet. Such bets will make you feel troubled if you win or lose."
"Yes, let's stay quietly. If you really want to talk nonsense, you might as well pray for world peace."
