"Everyone, split into two teams. Those staying in odd cabins will go to the left, those staying in even cabins will go to the right. Each team has 27 people. Get on a submarine …" The officers on the cruiser shouted loudly on the deck, directing Xia Pingan and the others to leave the ship.
The cruiser stopped on the surface of the sea. The other two destroyers and supply ships also stopped. The two nuclear submarines that hadn't shown themselves before also emerged from the water.
After a long voyage and a few days of extremely bad weather, the fleet finally arrived at the southernmost part of the Southern Light Continent. This place was close to the Antarctic Circle.
The sea was calm, and there was a thin layer of fog around them. Through the fog, they could already see some large and small pieces of ice floating in the distant sea.
The ships on the surface could no longer continue forward. Xia Pingan and the others began to transfer to the nuclear submarines to enter the Antarctic Circle.
No one knew where the base was located in the Antarctic. Xia Pingan and the others only knew that they could only enter the base by taking a submarine. The base seemed to be under the ice.
The reason why they had taken the surface ships before was because the space inside the nuclear submarines was limited and couldn't provide a comfortable living environment. Thus, the fleet had to take turns to take turns here.
The people staying in different cabins got off the cruiser from both sides. Then, they took the small boats driven by the sailors and waited for the two large black fish not far away.
"Third Brother, long time no see. Have you gotten used to the boat?" Yan Duo saw Wu Zhan Feng again and even joked with him with a smile.
Wu Zhan Feng's face was ugly. He only snorted and got off the ship from the other side.
Not being with Xia Pingan and Yan Duo seemed to have relaxed Wu Zhan Feng quite a bit.
On the other side, Xia Pingan and Yan Duo also got off the ship and boarded a small boat. The small boat sailed on the surface of the sea for more than 100 meters and came to the side of a large black fish. The sailors on the small boat threw out ropes, which were caught by the sailors on the large black fish. They pulled the small boat over and lowered a ladder from the boat. The people on the small boat climbed up the ladder to the submarine.
Each boat could hold twelve people. Three boats were enough to send Xia Pingan and the others to the big black fish.
The captain of the nuclear submarine and several officers lined up to welcome the arrival of Xia Pingan and the others. They saluted and shook hands with every summoner who boarded the submarine.
The captain of Xia Pingan's ship was a 50-year-old Marine Colonel with a long beard and bright eyes.
"Hello everyone, I am the captain of the 711 submarine, Lin Youjun. Welcome to the 711 submarine. My crew and I will send everyone safely to the base. The space inside the submarine is limited, so I hope everyone can overcome it!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
After that, everyone entered the submarine in a single file.
After everyone had entered, the submarine dived from the surface of the sea to the bottom.
Compared to a cruiser, the interior of a submarine was much narrower. Moreover, it was filled with various professional instruments and equipment. Silence was the first requirement in a submarine. The floor of the submarine was covered with a thick layer of rubber sound-absorbing pads. It was silent when one walked on it.
Lin Youjun first showed everyone around the submarine and told them about the rules and space to move around in the submarine. Then, he took everyone to their resting place.
The few women were assigned to a small cabin alone, which was considered preferential treatment. As for the other men, they could only squeeze into the crowded cabins on both sides of the submarine aisle. The places where everyone slept were like drawers and cans. Each bed was only about 50 centimeters wide and 40 centimeters tall. The length was just enough for a person to lie down, and they had to lie sideways to lie down.
The space was as high as the bunk beds on a train. It was divided into four layers from top to bottom. If four people slept on the beds, they couldn't even sit up straight.
No one complained, because everyone saw that in order to make room, many crew members had to sleep among the torpedoes in the fish warehouse, squeezed together with a pile of torpedoes and pipes.
The advantage of a submarine sailing underwater was that it didn't have the same bumps as on a battleship. However, the disadvantage was that people in the submarine knew nothing about what was happening outside.
The submarine was very quiet while sailing. Besides the dark red lights, they could barely hear any abnormal sounds inside the submarine.
In such an environment, a group of people huddled together. They either slept, listened to music on their headphones, or read books. Other than that, there was nothing else to do.
"We'll arrive at the base soon. There shouldn't be any trouble on the way!" Yan Duo said to Xia Pingan.
"I hope so!" Xia Pingan was lying on his narrow bed as he closed his eyes and rested, "We shouldn't be too far away from the base. We might arrive after a nap …"
…
Five hours later, the red light in the submarine started to flash.
Captain Lin Youjun's voice could be heard everywhere in the submarine, "Enemy detected. Everyone, level one combat readiness …"
This voice also alarmed Xia Pingan and the others. The atmosphere in the submarine suddenly became tense. A group of summoners immediately jumped off their beds and entered the command room.
This command room was almost the most spacious place in the submarine. A group of officers and soldiers were sitting in front of their respective instruments.
Jiang Duo 'er and a few female summoners also came.
"Captain, what's going on?" Yan Duo asked directly.
"We found many sonar buoys in the sea outside …" Lin Youjun looked solemn as he stared at a waveform display in the command room, "The seabed in the South Pole is close to the Southern Light Continent. It's the usual activity area of our Fire Country's submarines. It's our sphere of influence. We have an agreement with the navies of other countries that forbids the placement of sonar buoys in the sea around the South Pole.
Sonar buoys were buoy-type sonar equipment used to detect underwater targets. It was a type of underwater acoustic remote sensing detector. It was also an anti-submarine equipment.
"Sonar soldier, did you find any suspicious targets?" Lin Youjun looked at a crew member wearing headphones who was concentrating on the monitor in front of him with both hands on his headphones.
"There's a blue whale and a few groups of scaled shrimp in the nearby sea area. No other targets …" The sonar soldier immediately turned around and reported.
Lin Youjun frowned slightly, "Activate the blue-green laser scanning …"
The officers and soldiers in the command room immediately started to operate.
"There are a few huge floating ice and icebergs in the nearby sea area. No other submarines …"
The blue-green laser scanning image of the seabed appeared on a huge display in the command room. The display outlined the underwater outlines of a few icebergs and floating ice on the nearby sea area. There were also the coordinates of a few sonar buoys, but nothing else was found.
Jiang Duo 'er had her eyes closed ever since she came here. It was only now that she suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Lin Youjun, "Captain, in three minutes, we will be attacked by a suicidal submarine …"
Lin Youjun shuddered and looked at Jiang Duo 'er, "You are …"
"I have a Level A remote sensing ability. My ability allows me to sense the arrival of danger in advance. I just sensed that we will be in danger in three minutes. There's a small submarine hiding in the crevice under the iceberg, avoiding our detection …" Jiang Duo 'er said as she pointed at the outline of an iceberg outlined by the blue-green laser.
A Level A remote sensing ability? Xia Pingan glanced at Jiang Duo 'er. This woman's trump card was too strong. It turned out that a Level A remote sensing ability had the ability to predict.
"Can you sense the specific coordinates of the underwater vehicle?" Lin Youjun asked.
"Yes!" Jiang Duo 'er nodded.
…
Half a minute later, the two submarines each shot out two torpedoes. The four torpedoes flew towards the target like four sharp arrows shot from underwater.
Xia Pingan used his remote sensing ability to 'chase' after the torpedoes. Sure enough, he saw a small submarine more than ten meters long hidden in the crevice of the iceberg.
Four torpedoes exploded near the submersible, causing the iceberg to shake. One torpedo exploded ten meters away from the submersible. The huge power of the explosion directly blew the submersible into two pieces, completely shattering it. The submersible then sunk into the sea.
In the command room, Jiang Duo 'er opened her eyes again. "I need a fragment of that small submarine. Any fragment will do. I can find the controller behind it through the fragment!"
After a short while, the two water ghosts on the submarines were directly launched out of the torpedo tubes. A few minutes later, the two water ghosts returned from the torpedo tubes, each bringing back a piece of debris from a small submarine in the sea outside.
Jiang Duo 'er held the fragment and closed her eyes. Half a minute later, she opened her eyes again. "It's the Demon Eye. The Demon Eye has two strongholds on the ground in the Antarctic Circle. One stronghold is more than 300 kilometers away, and the other is more than 1,100 kilometers away. These are the latitude and longitude coordinates of the two strongholds …"
"Submarines, surface …" Killing intent flashed in Lin Youjun's eyes as he ordered.
A moment later, the two submarines broke through the ice on the surface of the sea and revealed their ferocious figures.
The missile launch ports of the submarines opened, and each submarine launched six hypersonic cruise missiles. A total of twelve missiles flew toward the target at a speed of more than Mach 6 with flames.
…
In the command room of the submarine, everyone saw the two targets through the satellite surveillance images.
The closest stronghold of the Demon Eye was on a snowy mountain 300 kilometers away. The stronghold was surrounded by more than ten heavy snowmobiles. Outside the snowmobiles, there was a circle of white snow camouflage, and a few tall snow-white antennas combed the ground in the middle of the stronghold.
The Demon Eye stronghold farther away was in a small valley more than 1,100 kilometers away. In addition to more than twenty heavy snowmobiles, this stronghold had also built some temporary houses. Some people were working in the valley and digging into the mountain, seemingly wanting to dig out a space in the mountain.
In order not to alert the enemy, the twelve hypersonic cruise missiles launched at the same time hit the two strongholds of the Demon Eye that were 300 kilometers away and 1,100 kilometers away at the same time.
The twelve missiles carried powerful combat units.
One of the missiles drilled directly into the cave in the small valley more than 1,100 kilometers away.
White light flashed, and the rapidly expanding explosive shock wave enveloped everything in the two strongholds. By the time everything dissipated, the two strongholds had completely changed, as though they had been completely erased from the ground. Around the strongholds, there was no sign of life except for the fragments of the heavy snowmobiles.
The two submarines dove again and returned to the sea.
…
A day later, the two submarines finally arrived at the mysterious Antarctic base that could enter another world …
