Facing such an unexpected situation, Brother Black and Reef were still fine. After all, they had experienced cannon battles in the Pirates of the Caribbean, and didn't care about such a minor tremor. Instead, Zi appeared rather uneasy, as her expression turned rather ugly.
Sheyan had his eyes shut, as though he was carefully sensing the movements of the submarine. All of a sudden, he grabbed onto the railing beside him. In the next second, an even more violent collision occurred! This time, the entire submarine exhibited a rocking arc of over 60 degrees! If not for Sheyan and Reef grabbing onto the railing, they would've been flung off the submarine!
Reef's expression changed drastically as he exclaimed.
"For this submarine to suffer such a violent tremor underwater, it seems like it's met with some grave danger!"
At present, Sheyan had already leapt down from the bed. Moving like the wind, he deftly shut the cabin's watertight door, and swiftly turned the valve. Every cabin in the submarine could be used as a watertight compartment, providing the submarine with the largest living space.
Following that, he started rummaging around. In the end, he managed to snatch back a pitch black board from a hidden cabinet, along with two ordinary looking candles, which he solemnly stored away.
That board was known as the 'Oxygen Regenerative Medicine Board'. It was composed of thin boards coated with sodium peroxide. When used, it would produce a chemical reaction, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. Each medicine board could last 40 individuals for approximately 1.5 hours.
As for the candles, they were emergency oxygen generating products made from sodium chlorite and other chemicals. In times of crisis, igniting the oxygen candles would release pure oxygen. One oxygen candle could allow 100 individuals to breathe for an hour. Even if they were prepared for the worst, if the submarine was destroyed, they would still be trapped in the watertight cabin. With these three items, they would be able to sustain until the mission failed, and receive the notification to return to the nightmare realm. Nevertheless, failing the mission was still better than losing their lives.
The submarine continued to tremble, like a dying whale struggling to move forward in the deep waters. Sheyan's expression was extremely unsightly. In this deep sea, once the submarine was destroyed, the watertight cabin would be flooded with water. Even a contestant would undoubtedly perish!
Even if he didn't die from the water pressure, during the rapid rise, the nitrogen dissolved in his body fluid would rapidly turn into bubbles due to the change in air pressure, causing an embolism that could endanger his life!
After another tremor, one could distinctly hear the metallic structure emitting a clear creaking sound. Dust and ashes rustled down, while the lights in the room flickered between bright and dark. Sheyan held onto the bedpost beside him with an extremely ugly expression.
"No, not only is the situation not getting better, it's getting worse. Zi, I have to take over this submarine. The person you hired doesn't seem very reliable. "
Zi's complexion was unsightly, probably due to seasickness. She nodded.
Sheyan immediately opened the cabin door and dashed out like a whirlwind. Brother Black followed behind and exclaimed in surprise.
"Boss, you actually know how to operate a submarine?"
Sheyan bluntly replied.
"No, but I want to take over command. Don't tell me you've forgotten my title? "
At this moment, they discovered casualties ahead. A crewman had collapsed to the ground, with copious amounts of blood flowing out from his head. A woman was sobbing as she attempted to save him. Yet from the crewman's deformed neck, one could clearly tell that his life had long left his body.
Sheyan continued forward, where a crewman was frantically running towards him. Sheyan then grabbed him by the neck.
"Oi, Captain, where's Captain? What the f * ck happened here? "
That crewman's face was ashen as he stammered miserably.
"It's a freak! A freak is attacking our submarine! Mister Tipotter wasn't aware of the situation and was knocked unconscious. "
Sheyan immediately equipped his' Pirate Captain 'title, as he slapped the crewman and roared.
"Very well, from now on, I'll take over this submarine! Return to your post at once, if you don't wish to die! "
That crewman wanted to say something, but Mogensha had already pressed the black muzzle against his head. He immediately turned around and fled.
The submarine's main control room was currently in a state of chaos. Some were performing emergency treatment, some were frantically issuing orders, and some were in an intense quarrel. Sheyan stepped into the room and shouted, "That's right.
"I'm a Major Seaman. Due to the emergency situation on this submarine, and your lack of countermeasures, I'll take over this submarine!"
One of them, who had a knife scar on his face and looked extremely unruly, tilted his head and stood out.
"Oh, is being a Major that amazing???? I'm sorry, this is a private submarine, what authority do you have to take over? "
Within a second, Mogensha directly aimed and fired. Headshot! That crewman flew high into the air, as a mixture of blood and brain matter instantly smeared the wall behind him!
Sheyan then asked.
"Who else has a problem? Who's the First Mate? "
Observing the crimson blood gushing out from the corpse, everyone present was as silent as cicadas in winter. They knew they had encountered a cold-blooded killer. Sheyan asked once more. That bearded crewman, who was currently rescuing the captain, turned his head and replied bitterly.
"I am."
Sheyan then calmly asked.
"Tell me the current situation, be more detailed."
That bearded crewman replied.
"Sir, the bad news is we're currently being attacked by a Ichthyosaur. That gigantic creature can weigh up to a hundred tonnes when it matures. Even the largest Nile crocodile couldn't escape the fate of being bitten into two. The good news is that the Ichthyosaur attacking us is still in its infancy."
"Then how long can we last?" Sheyan asked the most crucial question.
"Actually, transporting you guys to Jurassic Island is the biggest business we've received in the past three months. Therefore, we're all waiting for your remuneration to repair and maintain this gigantic creature. Therefore, the first attack is already likely to disintegrate the submarine. If we allow things to progress like this, we definitely won't be able to last more than 10 minutes."
Sheyan's brows instantly furrowed.
"10 minutes … … .doesn't that mean, this submarine doesn't have any self-defense capabilities?"
"If Mister Major believes that the electric shock device on the outer shell is a self-defense weapon." That bearded crewman replied. "Then yes."
In shallow water fishing submersibles, due to the frequent harassment of sharks and octopuses, they would install electric shock devices on the outer shell to repel them. Sheyan had heard of this before. Although submersibles differed from surface ships in many aspects, since this submarine was modified for civilian use, it would naturally be similar.
He immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and announced that he had taken control of the submarine. At this moment, his' Pirate Captain 'title naturally came into play. The acceleration effect was already in effect. Sheyan then instructed Mogensha.
"Head to the engine room at once. If anyone disobeys, you know what will happen."
Brother Black immediately rushed over. This submarine wasn't large to begin with. 30 seconds later, Mogensha's hoarse voice transmitted through the walkie-talkie.
"Boss, I've taken control of this area."
Sheyan then ordered.
"Now, have them slow down!"
The crew was instantly shocked and were about to protest. However, under Sheyan's incisive gaze, their words of doubt were instantly swallowed back into their mouths.
As the submarine slowed down, Sheyan then coldly asked.
"Where's the switch for the electric shock device?"
The first mate pointed out.
"If you use it sparingly, it can probably be released 5-6 times."
Sheyan instantly utilized the 'Gold Pearl of the Caribbean Sea' to greatly enhance his perceptive sense. Instantly, he sensed a tremendous threat hovering around the periphery of the submarine. Sheyan ignored it and tightly gripped the handle of the electric shock device. After a few more probing touches, it would stick close to him. He could even foresee the scene of it opening its gigantic jaws to chomp down on him!
At this moment, Sheyan viciously pulled the electric shock device to its limit. The 12 electric shock devices on the surface of the submarine were instantly overloaded; releasing the electric charge that could be used 5-6 times!!!
The reason why Sheyan ordered the submarine to slow down was to prevent the pursuing Ichthyosaur from escaping by relying on the inertia of its superior speed. But now that the submarine had slowed down and was close to a standstill, the pursuing Ichthyosaur would inevitably slow down as well.
This time, the electric shock was completed when the Ichthyosaur opened its gigantic jaws to chomp down. Previously, the electric shock was only completed after it was attacked. Within the dark and gloomy seawater, a vast expanse of blue-white high-voltage sparks flashed out. Even the electric shock device couldn't withstand such an overload and was burnt to ashes.
Of course, this electric shock dealt an unprecedented amount of damage to the Ichthyosaur!
The Ichthyosaur's first reaction was to flee. However, it required a few seconds of buffer time to accelerate from its slow swimming speed. This signified that Sheyan's earlier order to slow down the submarine was a wise decision, allowing this savage creature to endure a few more seconds of electric shock. Naturally, the damage dealt to the Ichthyosaur was incomparable.
Amidst the Ichthyosaur's agonizing struggle, the crew in the submarine instantly felt an immense pressure rolling in. This pressure wasn't generated from a direct collision like before, but was transmitted from the Ichthyosaur's tail and body forcefully stirring up the seawater. Instantly, the entire submarine was flung away.
At present, Sheyan was tightly gripping onto the handle beside him. His feet seemed to be nailed to the floor, not moving an inch. Then, he sternly commanded.
"Engine room, activate the engine at full speed!"
The first mate was already dejected as he replied.
"It's useless, we can't shake it off. When our submarine was converted to civilian use, one of its engines was removed. We can't increase our speed anymore. " If you like this work, I welcome you to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. "
