Chapter 163: Chapters 162, 163: The Fear of Domination (Extra 5, 6 for Zixuan Xian Emperor) Chapter 163: Chapters 162, 163: The Fear of Domination (Extra 5, 6 for Zixuan Xian Emperor) “Thi…this…” Everyone was struck speechless with horror.
Just a few years ago, no one would have thought something could happen in the world! It was an invincible fleet that dominated the oceans!
To attack them, or even surround them, was something beyond anyone’s imagination!
And now, these bugs had actually set an ambush and surrounded the fleet!
Qin Peng took a deep breath before speaking, “From the start, the Zerg had been setting up an ambush. They could have completely blocked the Deep Diving Device from entering the trench but let a few go down.”
“And they even used the last Deep Diving Device to keep Beck and the others in suspense. By the time they were ready to withdraw, the encirclement had already formed!”
“Who is stronger?” Cui Weimin asked.
“I don’t know either.” Qin Peng shook his head, “Even though we’ve run countless simulations against the Zerg, we’ve never engaged them in a large-scale battle, especially in the ocean!”
“Just watch patiently.”
Everyone fell silent again, continuing to watch the real-time footage.
“Blast it, create a breach for me!” Harvey shouted, “Break through toward the Mariana Islands base!”
The base in the Mariana Islands had another name, Guandao Base.
“Boom, boom, boom…” A series of explosions engulfed the entire sea surface, everywhere were the water splashes created by missile explosions, shooting up dozens of meters high, mingled with the shattered remains of the Zerg!
Fighter jets from the aircraft carrier had also taken off, bombing the breach frantically!
“Cover with firepower, open the breach!” This tactic was still quite effective, creating a bloody passage in the black ocean.
“Charge out!” Harvey shouted.
At this moment, all the crew on the ship, including Beck and others, were all filled with fear.
Because they saw those mutant creatures and bugs, who showed no fear of death, recklessly charging at the ships and the research vessels.
The research vessel was equipped with very few weapons, Beck saw with his own eyes, hundreds of mutant creatures jumping onto the research vessel he had just been in. The crew resisted with firearms but were completely wiped out in less than three minutes!
Some were torn into several pieces and devoured by the monsters, while others were swallowed whole!
“This is hell! This is simply hell, Almighty Lord, save us!” someone was praying with a trembling voice.
“What are you afraid of?” Harvey cursed, “We have plenty of ammunition right now, and a bunch of nuclear warheads!”
“As long as we break out, we can get support from the Mariana Islands base!”
“A heap of mutant creatures, and they can still block our ships?”
In the ocean, every minute, tens of thousands of mutant creatures were dying!
“Captain, below, the monsters from the sea bottom are coming up!” A subordinate shouted in panic.
Through the footage from underwater detectors, they saw that the mutant creatures, previously suppressed by deep-water weapons, had already broken through the blockade of bombs.
And it was no longer those insignificant sea creatures swimming up, but those gigantic “sea monsters,” with genuine Zerg amongst them, either directing or attacking!
One gigantic beetle-like creature, with its body covered in carapace, directly sank a research vessel with a crash!
“Launch the precision missile, fire!” A missile hit it accurately, and the explosive force erupted in an instant.
But it only cracked its carapace, it was still alive!
This was just a glimpse of many similar scenes, as more giant monsters surged upward.
“Help! Save me!” On the research vessel, people were desperately crying for help, including an assistant fairly familiar to Beck.
Beck witnessed, with his own eyes, an assistant being swallowed whole by a sea monster resembling a plesiosaur, becoming food for the bugs!
*If I were still on the research vessel now, would I have long perished?* Beck thought in terror.
“Mother ship, mother ship, we are under attack! Requesting support!” It wasn’t just the research vessel; the supply ship and the escorts with smaller displacement were all seeking support at that moment.
The sea of bugs was surrounding and attacking from all directions and the deep sea, while human ship designs hadn’t considered such scenarios.
Generally, if it were ship-to-ship confrontations, they’d either be shelling each other or clashing with underwater weapons.
The firepower net laid at such close range, under normal circumstances, would have destroyed the enemy targets long ago!
But now, the more they fought, the more enemies came, and the stronger they became!
“Thud!” On an escort ship, all crew members felt the ship list suddenly, as a giant sea monster rammed them!
“Warning, main hull damaged! A ruptured compartment found, taking water!”
“There are too many of them, we can’t bomb them all!”
“At such close range, the explosions are affecting us too!” The missiles and torpedoes they launched, due to the close range of explosions, also inevitably impacted their own hull.
Harvey watched, as the bloody sea passage just cleared by intense firepower was nearly disappearing in such a short time, and the Zerg were swiftly filling the breach!
“Ship Three is requesting support! Our hull is already tilting, about to sink!”
“This is Ship Six, we are under attack by three giant monsters, our missiles can’t kill them!”
“Ship Seven, the Zerg has boarded the deck, we are organizing a defense! Close all external hatches!”
Harvey had never seen such a bleak scene, and for an instant, he was in a daze, wondering if this was still Blue Star and not some alien planet?
“Captain!” The subordinates all anxiously looked at him, as they didn’t know what to do either!
