At this time, there were only seven people left in the command center. In addition to Captain Carroll, there were two guards, and the heads of the weapons department in the command room.
Matticus, who was the commander of the mission, was dead, so the command was naturally handed over to Captain Carroll.
Therefore, the other six people in the command room all looked at Captain Carroll in a daze, hoping that he would make a move.
In those eyes, there was despair, doubt, and even encouragement as to whether or not they should give it their all.
？？？
Courage was built on the basis of strength.
If there was a huge difference in strength between the two sides, it wasn't called courage, it was called death.
After thinking for a moment, Captain Carlo simply closed his eyes with a straight face.
What else could he do but wait for death?
After waiting for more than ten seconds, Captain Carroll still didn't receive "judgment". Instead, he felt that the originally hot air around him was no longer hot.
He opened his eyes in surprise, but soon the surprise turned into horror.
The terrifying metal monster was still in the command room, but it walked past Captain Carroll and came to the information platform of the command center.
There seemed to be some soul hidden in its head that was not inferior to human intelligence because Captain Carroll clearly saw that it was scanning back and forth on the screen of the information platform with a pair of dark eyes.
Captain Carroll's heartbeat rose little by little along with its gaze.
He was sure that the metal monster in front of him could definitely understand the complicated parameters and slowly moving graphics on the screen.
When the metal monster stopped on one of the screens, Captain Carroll felt like he was struck by lightning, and even his rapidly beating heart almost stopped.
Because on the electronic nautical chart screen, in addition to a green red dot in the middle that marked the position of the ship, there were several orange dots in different positions.
There were a total of four yellow dots, and each dot was not far from the position of the ship. Each dot was pierced by a dotted line, and these dotted lines finally converged in one place.
That's right ~
The other four yellow dots were the other ships carrying out this mission.
Two comprehensive supply ships and two high-speed attack nuclear submarines lurking in the sea.
At this time, they were carrying out radio silence orders, and their route and whereabouts were top-secret. Including the ship, their final destination was also top-secret. Except for a few people who made this mission, the outside world had no way of knowing their coordinates.
Because the route was top secret, the two supply ships and the submarine would strictly follow the route and speed planned in advance. They would not deviate at all.
They must not deviate in the slightest and strictly follow the silent command. They must arrive on time within the meeting time.
This was an ironclad rule that all ships had to abide by in naval combat missions.
Because of this, the electronic nautical chart in the battle command room, as the flagship, only needed to calculate the exact location of the other four ships based on the three key points of time, ship speed, and route.
There was no need to keep it a secret in the command room. Not only did the sea chart show the exact location, but it also showed the serial number of the supply ship and the depth of the submarine.
Seeing the metal monster standing motionless beside the electronic nautical chart, Captain Carlo couldn't even breathe. He screamed madly in his heart, "It doesn't understand! It doesn't understand!"
He hoped that the metal monster wouldn't understand.
But he knew that he was only deceiving himself.
If the metal monster could sneak onto a high-speed cruising warship without anyone noticing, how could it not have studied electronic nautical charts?
Moreover, there were no encryption measures on the nautical chart at all. The status of the other ships was clearly written in English.
Since it could sneak into the interior of this ship, it could definitely sneak into the interior of the other ships.
It was time to make a choice.
A moment later, Captain Carlo decided to disregard his personal safety and fulfill his final duty as a captain.
He took a deep breath and said to his colleagues who were stunned and didn't dare to cross the line, "All crew members, I am Captain Carlo. I announce that I give up on this mission."
"We have encountered an irresistible enemy. For the safety of the other ships, I announce that the radio silence will be lifted immediately and an emergency communication order will be sent to the surrounding ships."
"After the emergency communication order is sent out, all crew members will immediately abandon the ship."
Following Captain Carlo's order, the orange-yellow alarm in the ship quickly turned blood-red, and the sound became a repeated mournful sound.
This was the highest level of distress alarm for abandoning the ship and entering the abandonment procedure.
The alarm naturally reached the command room.
The ear-piercing alarm made Captain Carlo give up on escaping. He thought that the metal monster would definitely kill him, and he imagined what kind of evaluation he would receive after he died.
However, the metal monster turned a blind eye to the ear-piercing warning and did not hear it.
What was it thinking?
Why didn't it kill everyone?
There were even two of its colleagues who took advantage of its immobility to sneak away, but it was not interested in them at all.
…
Of course, the saber-toothed tiger had no interest in those carbon-based creatures at this moment.
From the moment it discovered the electronic nautical chart, its combat mission had changed.
The priority of hunting all the ships was obviously higher than hunting only one ship.
Therefore, the saber-toothed tiger slowly stood up under the explosive gazes of the remaining crew members.
It swung the fission blade that was constantly releasing high temperature from its tail and casually inserted the fission blade into the composite armor floor under its feet to cool down the fission blade. The front paws that it used to run with began to flow with a burst of metal. The beast-like claws transformed into the forelimbs of primates with flexible fingers.
As the saber-toothed tiger moved, Captain Carlo's vision was torn apart bit by bit, and his mind was collapsing bit by bit.
The metal monster actually transformed into a pair of "hands" and then on the control panel, it operated crazily with a speed that exceeded human hand speed.
"Ah!"
Captain Carlo ran for the door. He didn't have any courage to watch anymore.
He would rather this was a dream. He would rather he was hallucinating than believe what he saw in front of him.
Run, run, run ~
F * ck the mission, f * ck revenge.
Captain Carlo ordered to abandon the ship as he fled. As long as they could escape, it would be the greatest victory.
Accompanied by the shrill alarm, everyone on the ship fled. It was like the end of the world.
Life jackets were worn on their bodies, and cylindrical inflatable lifeboats were launched into the sea one after another. After the cylinders hit the sea, they quickly split into two halves and inflated into lifeboats that could accommodate more than 20 crew members.
The deck was crowded with crew members. They climbed into the sea one by one through the life net. Some brave crew members simply jumped into the sea.
Captain Carlo, who was squeezed on the deck, grabbed the person in charge of the radar department and roared, "Has the emergency order been sent out?"
The latter's face was pale with fear. "No … No, after the radio silence was lifted, we found that all communication channels were jammed. Even the directional radio with the strongest anti-jamming ability was not working."
Captain Carlo almost fell to the ground.
He ordered the entire ship to evacuate because he hoped that during the evacuation, he would send an emergency message to the other ships. This way, the other four ships would be able to launch an indiscriminate attack on the ship's waterline.
With the existence of the two hidden attack submarines, they would definitely be able to destroy the ship and the two metal monsters at the same time.
At that time, the crew members hiding in the lifeboats could take the opportunity after the attack to board the ship and search for the "bodies" of the metal monsters while the ship was still barely afloat.
Now, a channel jamming completely shattered his dream.
…
Wait, there is still a way.
Captain Carlo had the urge to go to the ammunition depot and detonate the ammunition.
But this thought came and went quickly. Not to mention that this would cause him to explode as well. Even if he detonated the ammunition, with the excess inventory of the ammunition depot, it would be enough to blow the entire ship into pieces and quickly sink to the bottom of the sea. There would be no way to snatch the remains of the two metal monsters.
Forget it, it's good that I'm still alive.
Thinking about what happened to Matticus and the terrifying scene in the command room, Captain Carlo didn't expect himself to do better.
Five minutes later, Captain Carlo and the crew members were all transferred to the lifeboats.
More than 20 orange-red lifeboats were distributed around the ship. Captain Carlo stood on the lifeboat furthest away from the ship and shouted into the satellite communicator in vain.
The full-band radio jamming was still there.
While Captain Carlo shouted, he looked at the sky suspiciously from time to time.
He didn't know if it was an illusion or if it was the faint roar in his ears, but Captain Carlo always felt that there was an unknown aircraft above them that was staring at them, a group of … ants.
