On the vast sea, fog suddenly appeared. The fog made the dark night even more hazy and blurred.
"The satellite didn't capture it, the satellite didn't capture it!"
"Those ships seem to have emerged from the sea …"
"The radar is jammed!"
Inside the command center of the research fleet's flagship, the crew was busy. Chief Zhang Jinmin's aged face was scrunched up. The satellite was obscured by the fog, and the advanced radar had lost its effectiveness. Was that the power of the spell?
"Shout a warning!" Zhang Jinmin immediately ordered, "All firepower ready, if they continue to approach, sink them."
He was fifty-three years old, and after serving in the navy and joining Phecda for so many years, he had never felt so responsible before.
The defense line of the research fleet must not be breached, it carried the hope of the country.
However, in terms of mood, Zhang Jinmin and the rest were shocked, angry, and confused, but not afraid.
Was the fleet of a dozen ships controlled by the cultists? Those people had the guts to charge in like this!
Not to mention the destroyers in the fleet had powerful firepower, the land base's missiles were all aimed here. Even without these, the small ships would not be able to overturn the fleet. Even if they boarded the ships, would they be able to defeat the guards here? What was the enemy relying on?
Spell? Were those ships really there? Were there really people on board?
On the other side, the emergency command center at the headquarters was filled with tension.
"Pull up the information on the Seagull, the Seagull under Lai Sheng Company!" Tong Ye suddenly ordered. The pilot ship in the fog on the screen gave Tong Ye an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it in the documents. It was not as old, but the shape was very similar.
When the few remaining pictures of the Seagull were pulled up on the screen, Tong Ye and Yao Sinian's hearts sank.
This "research ship" that had been missing in the Longkan Sea for many years, the ship led by Gu Jun's parents, was there.
If Ah Jun knew about this, who knew how he would feel …
"This time, our old opponent really brought out his trump card." Tong Ye said, "All kinds of demons and ghosts have come out."
Gu Jun had mentioned his speculation before. There should be many factions within Lai Sheng Company and Afterlife Cult. Last time, the person called himself a detractor, but this time, it seemed to be different.
These people appeared to be in cahoots with the R'yleh Cult. One was a group of foreign people, and the other was a group of earthlings.
Using the Spirit Children, going out to sea to search for R'yleh, the relief sculptures, the pottery, the ritual, the Nightmare Illness …
The two groups shared the same goal, they wanted to awaken the Great Old One, Cthulhu, who was slumbering under R'yleh.
Was the current legionella pneumonia the same purpose? The so-called 'new era' and 'new world' was the world where the Great Old Ones, Cthulhu, descended …
At the same time, the fleet also used a loudspeaker to shout, "Ships in front, stop immediately, stop immediately!"
However, to everyone's surprise, the ghost ships did not stop. Zhang Jinmin ordered, "Open fire!"
Boom, boom, boom. Multiple destroyers opened fire. They blasted through the fog at the ships before them but they simply passed through them. There was no sign of the ghost ships being blasted apart, the cannons continued to blast into the darkness …
Gasps of shock rose from the crowd. However, Zhang Jinmin, Tong Ye and the other officers were prepared for this because the enemy would not come here to die without any support.
"The enemy has a spell that can distort space." Elder Tong immediately reminded the frontline fleet. The Demon Hunters had encountered this in the foreign world before. Bullets could not hit the enemy, but they did not have such a large area of effect. To have such a large area of effect, one would need a greater power, and it might not even be human power.
Tong Ye continued to shout, "Ol 'Zhang, have your spell team prepare to attack. Cast the Ancient Seal and see how we can break the enemy's camouflage spell!"
"What, what is that …" Zhang Jinmin gasped.
On the surface of the sea that was illuminated by the strong light, countless strange heads appeared in the hazy fog. They looked like a mixture of humans and fish.
But they were definitely not the kind mermaids described in the legends! These creatures also appeared on the bow of the ghost ships.
They had humanoid bodies. The smallest among them was as tall as a large man and the tallest among them was like a giant.
They had no clothes and the exposed parts of their bodies were covered in scales. There were high ridges on their backs, gills on the sides of their necks and webbed limbs. They were all a kind of greyish green. Only their abdomens were sickly white.
Their heads had the shape of a fish but they had humanoid organs. A pair of large bulging eyes glowed with an indescribable sharpness.
It sounded like they were making a hoarse and shrill sound. It sounded like they were going to tear apart anything that stood in their way.
This was undoubtedly an abnormal creature from the sea. Did they also worship the Lord of R'yleh?
Did the lighthouse that had been flattened by the explosion summon these monsters?
"I was right …" Tong Ye said hoarsely. All kinds of monsters appeared. Reminded of Gu Jun's warning about the Mutated Scale Disease, Tong Ye hurriedly shouted, "Ol 'Zhang, don't get too close to those fish monsters! Don't touch them even if they're dead! They might be carrying another contagious disease! "
Suddenly, another alarm came from the command central. "Ambush, ambush!"
The eyes of Elder Tong and the rest widened. Their hearts skipped a beat. No one could sit still and watch.
It came from Jiang Xin City's Dreamlands. Gunshots, screams and screams echoed down the narrow and dirty alleyway. Broken limbs and blood splattered everywhere.
Some of the guards were swallowed by the giant shadows that popped out from the ground. Some were bitten into pieces while others were dragged down and disappeared.
Those brutal black shadows were undoubtedly the Subterrain Giant Worms.
Subterrain giant worms, the Afterlife Cult should have a way to summon them. During the Malformed Banyan Disease incident last year, Phecda's Action Unit at Eastern State had paid a heavy price when they tried to clear out one of the Afterlife Cult's hideouts. These giant monsters moved fast. They popped out from the ground and caught people off guard.
The source of the enemy's intelligence and scouting ability was unknown. The guards at the entrance had already prepared for the ambush, but they were still ambushed.
Bang bang bang! Gunshots rang out incessantly. Although the battle in the alleyway was fierce, the guards did not retreat an inch. More armored vehicles and helicopters arrived.
They could not afford to give up their position. The more the enemy wanted this entrance, the more they could not let the enemy get it.
"Hold on, hold on …" Tong Ye shouted encouragingly. Seeing the sacrifice of his disciples, his heart ached. He wished he was younger and could fight on the frontline. "The Problematic Team should have some results by now. That's why the enemy is so desperate. Hold on, hold on for a while longer …"
The others agreed with him. 'That must be it. Ah Jun, you have to hurry!'
