The smart glasses had already switched to VR mode, and He Xingzhou seemed to have arrived on the scene.
“Master, this is the E-457 Ocean Monitoring Station located in the Pacific Ocean,” Lv Mei’s voice sounded in He Xingzhou’s ear.
Everything He Xingzhou saw was an expanse of black seawater. This was the junction of the Sakura Sea, the Pacific Ocean, and the Shen Zhou Sea Area.
Because it was a deep-sea area, with no extra sunlight reflection, the seawater appeared dark and gloomy.
After the launch of the Xuanwu Plan, Xuanwu Executive Officers had built ocean monitoring stations in maritime areas worldwide.
The ocean monitoring station at these coordinates was an extremely important one because it monitored the junction of the Sakura Sea and the Shen Zhou Sea Area!
He Xingzhou’s view switched to below the sea surface, where he saw a shocking scene!
Under the surface, countless sea creatures were migrating!
They were entirely mutant creatures, most of which were some kind of mutant fish, each enormous in size, averaging at least as large as a calf!
Those with a low degree of mutation still retained most fish characteristics. However, those highly mutated had turned into unrecognizable monsters, some growing claws unnecessary for sea creatures, some with human-like heads, some with multiple heads or other organs.
This group of mutant creatures numbered in the tens of thousands, and by rights, they should have been killing each other.
But their actions were orderly, coordinated like robots!
Some ordinary sea creatures, upon seeing them, shrank away in fear.
A group of sharks attempted to approach the “school of fish’s” edge to hunt, but as soon as they got close, they were pierced by a high-voltage current!
The monitoring equipment captured it, revealing it was a mutant creature akin to an electric eel, hidden within the migrating group, providing escort!
He Xingzhou’s breathing became heavy; by this time, the monitoring station had begun launching more underwater probes.
One of the underwater probes swam to the very front of the migrating group.
It captured a scene that made He Xingzhou clench his fists involuntarily; at the front of the group was a creature he had never seen before!
Judging by its size, it resembled a giant Pacific octopus, estimated to be over twenty meters long, larger than the current world record for the biggest octopus.
Ordinary octopuses were typically reddish, but this giant mutant octopus had inky black skin!
Or rather, its body surface seemed coated with a layer of some gelatinous material, possibly possessing some biological function.
Its head was large, and, as a mollusk, its head should have deformed with the flow of the water.
But from the probe’s footage, its head shape remained stable, indicating it had developed a skull! It possessed a stable brain structure!
The most terrifying thing was that it detected the probe!
He Xingzhou saw it fix its white pupils on the probe, a tentacle grabbing and crushing it into pieces!
Not only that, but He Xingzhou immediately saw the mutant creatures start to assault this ocean monitoring station.
Under their collisions, bites, and attacks, this floating ocean monitoring station was completely destroyed in under three minutes!
The video footage was also cut off, but before the interruption, all information from the monitoring station was sent back.
“These monsters, they’re making precise attacks with a target!” Xu Zhilan’s pretty face turned slightly pale.
The immersive experience of VR made her sensations particularly real. Especially the scene where the overwhelming mutant monsters began to assault the monitoring station from the ocean, which made her hair stand on end and prickled her skin in little bumps!
“Yes, that octopus monster possessed high intelligence!” He Xingzhou took a deep breath, analyzing, “What worries me most is that these mutant creatures are actually following its command; they seem to be taking some kind of coordinated action!”
He had just spoken when someone initiated a video conference in the Xuanwu Executive Officer chat group.
“Everyone saw the recent incident, right?” Qin Peng asked the group seriously.
“Saw it!” Song Jinhong responded gravely, “The evolutionary degree of these mutant creatures is already very high, and their leader seems to have reached the Zerg standards we recognize!”
Kong Qing expressed worry, “They actually destroyed our monitoring station proactively; their intelligence level is on par with humans!”
He Hongwei said, “This isn’t the first time we’ve captured images of migratory mutant sea creatures, but this is the largest group we’ve seen!”
Cui Weimin said, “Did these guys transfer over from the Sakura Sea area? Doesn’t that mean there’s already an outbreak over there, without any news at all!”
Lv Mei said, “Sakura has never released any information; they insist there’s no ocean pollution and no mutant creatures! But in recent days, they’ve secretly forbidden fishermen from going to the F Island sea area to fish.”
Qin Peng asked, “I’d like to ask the experts, how did this situation arise, and how should we handle it? The naval fleet ships are ready and can move at any moment!”
Kong Qing replied, “Of course, send ships immediately to continue tracking them, monitoring their migration direction!”
“If they come to our sea area, then things will get troublesome!”
Qin Peng said, “Okay, I’ll have people dispatch ships immediately!”
“Let’s also throw in a few torpedoes, and blast them first!”
Song Jinhong commented, “By rights, the mutant creatures shouldn’t reach the Shen Zhou Sea Area this quickly!”
