After the humans failed in their second attempt to escape, some of the indigenous midgets had already ridden on the giant worms and stuck themselves on the outer wall of the ship's hull.
They were shouting loudly as they commanded their mounts to place their two front long legs on the ship's hull. Then, as though they had suction cups under their feet, the giant spiders began to slowly crawl on the ship's hull that was tilted to nearly 160 degrees.
"Sh * t! The giant spiders that the midgets are riding on can climb the ship! They're charging up! Everyone, be careful …" A sailor holding a fire axe on the deck was the first to see the giant worms carrying the midgets and began to crawl on the Elizabeth Holiday's hull.
However, just as his words caused a greater commotion on the deck of the cruise ship, all of a sudden, the giant spiders crawling on the ship's hull were shrouded in a cloud of milky white fog.
The fog seemed to contain an extremely high temperature. With the help of the moonlight, one could see that the blood in the bodies of the giant worms and midgets that were wrapped in it was rapidly expanding. In just an instant, their bodies exploded, leaving behind many skeletons with minced meat that fell into the sea.
After the fog killed several dozens of midgets that were climbing the ship, it did not dissipate. Instead, it floated and condensed together, forming a giant cloud in midair. All of a sudden, a loud roar resonated in the sea.
Then, the sea surface thousands of meters around the ship seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand as a giant beast that was so huge that it was unimaginable emerged.
The sea beast's body was actually twice as long as the Elizabeth Holiday. After it leaped out of the sea surface, it covered all of the starlight in the sky and crashed into the giant cloud in midair. Riding on the cloud, it opened its mouth wide and suddenly bit the stone pillar on the left side of the ship that had its foundation broken before turning its body abruptly.
With a loud bang, the stone pillar broke from its foundation and broke out of the sea, before being spat out by the giant beast towards the countless midgets that were surging along the waves on the sea surface.
Ever since the stone pillar broke, all of the indigenous midgets seemed to have lost their ability to think. Their bodies became as stiff as wood. It was only when some of their compatriots were smashed to death by the stone pillar that they finally snapped back to reality.
Most of the aborigines threw the spears in their hands at the giant beast in the sky for the sake of their beliefs. However, there were also some aborigines who no longer fearlessly and generously faced death like before. Instead, they began to flee in a daze.
Their primitive and crude beliefs collapsed in their hearts the moment their totems shattered. They were deeply convinced that even the God they believed in could not defeat the giant beast that was swimming ferociously in the clouds and sucking hundreds of their compatriots who dared to fight against it into its mouth. For the first time, an unparalleled fear rose in the hearts of those fleeing indigenous midgets.
Standing on the deck of the cruise ship, Zhang Lisheng, whose face had turned pale from casting the 'connect' spell, sensed the wizard power surging and boiling in his body. Without warning, he looked up to the sky and shouted soundlessly.
The fifth sarcoma in his lower jaw slowly bulged out. Unknowingly, his wizard power had recovered to its peak state and had even expanded by several times. The young man who had made a breakthrough to Rank-5 Wizard did not command his wizard gu to kill the midgets who were already completely harmless.
He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Trish, who was staring blankly at the sea surface that had almost turned into a bright red sea of purgatory fire reflected in her eyes. Calmly and calmly, he finished the words that he did not finish just now. "Look, they know fear now …" Then, he wrapped his head with a blanket and sat cross-legged on the deck.
The three girls, who knew the truth of the horrifying experience in just a few seconds just now, looked at the young man who had shrunk his body after he sat down and appeared to be getting thinner and smaller. They did not know how to describe their feelings at all.
At this time, the Elizabeth Holiday suddenly blew its whistle for the third time. As the whistle roared, the ship smoothly retreated slowly and turned around to sail into the vast sea.
After getting rid of the horrifying coast, the second step of escaping was finally placed in front of the senior sailors on the Elizabeth Holiday.
In the steering room of the ship, Fjodna, who had long been exhausted, threw away the rudder while panting. Weakly, he turned on the automatic driving system. "Adelaide, how's the straightening of the automatic route in the nautical instrument?"
Adelaide, the only navigator on the ship who had not witnessed any danger from the beginning to the end and had been staying in the steering room to straighten out the route of this strange voyage bit by bit, replied tiredly, "Sir, I've repeatedly verified the abnormality on this automatic navigation route many times. I found out that the first error occurred at the latitude and longitude 42 ° … "W.
"Then, can you find that error point correctly?"
"In the absence of satellite navigation, there's only a 50% chance of success."
"This is already beyond my expectations. Do it, Adelaide, I'll be praying for you." Fjodna looked at the gloomy night outside the window and devoutly drew a cross on his chest before replying in a deep voice.
"Yes, Sir!" Upon hearing the captain's order, the navigator began to correct the route and drove the ship to make a big circle on the sea at a uniform speed of 25 nautical miles per hour, the most fuel-efficient speed.
As time went by, the sky gradually brightened. According to the journey, if the route was correct, the cruise ship should have already approached New York City by now. However, as far as the eyes could see, the sea was empty.
The hearts of everyone in the steering room had already sunk but no one dared to face this despairing reality in front of them. It was only until the chief engineer, Alessandro, reported in a trembling voice, "Sir, we only have enough fuel to sail for ten … ten nautical miles …"
Upon hearing this, a bitter smile appeared on Fjodna's face for the first time. Sighing deeply, he adjusted the hat on his head and said calmly, "Everyone, it looks like we have no choice but to face the reality …"
"Sir! Sir! There's a signal! There's a satellite signal! Oh, the shortwave and long-wave signals have also been restored!" Without warning, the navigator, Adelaide, shouted in surprise, "I'll try to call! I'll try to call right away … New York Harbor!
New York Harbor! This is the Elizabeth Holiday! This is the Elizabeth Holiday! Please respond if you can hear me! Please respond if you can hear me! "
A few seconds later, as everyone waited anxiously, a clear answer resonated from the intercom, "HMS Elizabeth Holiday! HMS Elizabeth Holiday! This is the Coast Guard! This is the Coast Guard! Please report your location! Please report your location!"
The US Coast Guard (USCG) was one of the five major armed forces in the US. It was responsible for the coastal waters, waterway law enforcement, water safety, ships in distress, aircraft rescue, pollution control, and was committed to protecting the national security in the sea area.
Due to the responsibilities of the US Coast Guard, when Adelaide called the New York Harbor, it was the Coast Guard who responded instead. The sailors in the steering room subconsciously understood that it was because the Elizabeth Holiday did not return on schedule and went missing at sea. For this reason, it attracted the attention of the USCG and the channel was monitored.
Of course, they would not take this matter to heart. All of them clenched their fists in unison and began to wave and cheer crazily. Only Fjodna, who felt that he had finally completed his duty and allowed the Elizabeth Holiday to be rescued safely, breathed a long sigh of relief before suddenly collapsing onto the ground.
The news of being rescued soon spread to everyone on the ship through the broadcast. Such good news naturally elicited continuous cheers from everyone.
Standing on the deck, Zhang Lisheng looked at the crowd who were hugging each other and jumping around with tears in their eyes. Without warning, he smiled at Tina and said, "Look, Tina! Haven't we come back safely?"
"Baby, I know that we wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for you.
I'm sorry, I've been ignoring you all along the way. I didn't do it on purpose, but I really don't know what to say to you.
The scene last night was just too … too … "Tina hesitated for a moment and suddenly hugged the young man. Sobbing, she said," I'm so scared! Really, Lisheng! I'm so scared … "
"Tina, that island is another Amazon jungle. The law of the jungle is the survival of the fittest. If we're strong, we'll 'eat' those indigenous midgets.
If we're weak, we'll be eaten by those indigenous midgets. Think about this clearly. Actually, you should feel lucky and not afraid. "
"B-But there are tens of thousands of people …"
"It's tens of thousands of foreign world's people who want to kill us.
They're not our kind, Tina. Everything I've done is just for the sake of survival. "
When Zhang Lisheng was speaking, the sound of a large helicopter flying resonated from afar all of a sudden. Very soon, on the distant sea surface, a towing ship printed with the huge US national emblem and the Stars and Stripes Flag was driving at full speed towards the Elizabeth Holiday, braving the wind and waves. It was accompanied by two smaller ships on both sides and seven to eight large helicopters hovering above its head.
"The ship is here! The ship that's coming to save us is here! I can't believe that they've actually come so fast! Oh God! Thank you for your protection …" Many people on the deck shouted in ecstasy.
"No, that doesn't look like a rescue plane but an armed helicopter and a warship instead. Not only that, two of the three ships have turrets. It looks like they're warships!" However, more people realized that something was not right.
Right at this moment, a clear broadcast resonated from the large towing ship that had already arrived next to the Elizabeth Holiday, "All passengers of the Elizabeth Holiday, please pay attention. The Elizabeth Holiday … Please pay attention. All of you have been listed as the targets of the B-level Public Safety Disposal Mission.
You're the target! The US Coast Guard's rescue ship St. Mary, the US Navy's Vulture and Wolf Stork will cooperate with the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention to carry out the temporary quarantine plan. Please wait where you are and cooperate! Please cooperate! "
As the broadcast resonated on the Elizabeth Holiday, the people who had just escaped from danger on the deck of the cruise suddenly realized that everyone on the three steel giant ships that they thought were their saviors were wearing thick silver isolation suits that looked like spacesuits!
