Chapter 473 - 473 Monster Siege
473 Monster Siege
“Alright, Chief Engineer Wu!”
Xu Wanqing nodded her head lightly, and her face full of firm trust.
Returning to the system store, Wu Wu opened the research interface of Life First again and began to repair it without hesitation.
Time seemed to pass in his fingertips. Finally, after consuming a large number of points, the bug was fixed.
Then, he took the repaired Life First potion and carried out a round of rigorous tests.
Sure enough, with this fix, even those with special blood types could enjoy the youthful vitality brought by Life First.
The bug was quickly fixed just like that.
At this moment, the Heart of the Ocean had already been placed at the site of the shipwreck.
Wu Mo and the old chief dared not be careless at all. They had been paying attention to the feedback from the other side.
After all, the Heart of the Ocean’s coverage was wider than before. Once any abnormalities appeared, they would be reported immediately.
“D*mn it, how is this possible?!”
An officer held the latest feedback report with a terrified face. He rushed to the command center and handed the report to the old chief.
“Chief, please take a look!”
The old chief received the report, and his expression instantly turned solemn.
Not long after, Wu Mo rushed over too. When he saw the report from the Heart of the Ocean, he was so shocked that he could hardly speak.
There were actually three hundred and fifty-five gigantic beasts within a radius of one thousand meters. They were more than a hundred meters long and swimming in an uncertain manner!
There were also more than a thousand golden-scaled monsters that were about forty to fifty meters long. They were seven thousand meters deep in the sea at thirty-six degrees north latitude and seventy-two degrees east longitude. They were around a huge nest and moving in a circular trajectory.
In addition, Titan Squids had also been discovered. There were about a hundred of them.
However, compared to the golden-scaled monsters, the Titan Squid was so weak that it could not fight them at all.
More shockingly, the Heart of the Ocean captured another huge shadow.
The shadow flashed past, but the device did not manage to record its entire body.
However, the Heart of the Ocean’s data analysis and AI deduction indicated that the huge shadow could be more than five hundred meters long!
“No way! There are marine creatures that are more than five hundred meters long?” Wu Mo could not help but mutter to himself.
Even so, he had to admit that humans had barely explored the vast underwater world.
Even the Heart of the Ocean only covered an area of a thousand miles. It was insignificant in the entire sea.
“Wu Mo, I’ve always had this idea. Is it possible to build a submarine corridor at the bottom of the sea? With the corridor’s cover, our genetically-enhanced warriors can fight those monsters at the bottom of the sea.”
The old chief was proposing a bold idea.
This idea was born because defeating the deep sea monsters was undoubtedly a great challenge for humans.
Wu Mo forced a smile and said, “Chief, you’re aware that to carry out such a huge undersea tunnel project at those depths is a huge risk in itself, right?”
The old chief nodded. He knew this very well.
“Furthermore, such a project would consume a lot of materials, manpower, and resources. The requirements for tempered glass were extremely high. No tempered glass of any strength could withstand the sharp claws of that hundred-meter-long beast!”
Wu Mo mentioned the various issues they would face, and the old chief had no choice but to give up on his idea for the time being.
Nonetheless, he still had a glimmer of hope that Wu Mo might be able to realize the idea of the undersea tunnel.
Suddenly, the alarm sounded and alerted the old chief as well as Wu Mo. Where was the information coming from this time?
Immediately after, a large group of officers rushed into the command center, and everyone stared at the events that were unfolding on the screen.
The old chief and Wu Mo hurried over. When they saw the room full of military officers, they realized that something serious must have happened!
They raised their heads and saw a huge golden-scaled monster appear on the screen.
Its huge body was almost entirely out of the water. They were surprised that the creature was appearing near the coastal city!
“How is this possible? They’re actually this close to the coast? What are they thinking?” the old chief could not help but exclaim.
A few hundred meters away from this monster, another monster of the same size appeared!
Then came a third, fourth, and fifth…
In the end, thirteen golden-scaled monsters over a hundred meters long appeared near the port of the coastal city.
Rumble!
These golden-scaled monsters immediately began to destroy the ships at the port.
The people on the ship were terrified, and they fled in all directions. They could not understand why such a terrifying monster would suddenly appear.
In the previous live stream, these monsters had appeared about thirty-six degrees away from the southeastern coast. They were still a thousand miles away from the coast. Why would they suddenly come here?
Worse still, even the data captured by the Heart of the Ocean failed to provide timely feedback, hence they never expected these creatures to appear!
Kacha! Kacha!
The terrifying hundred-meter-long behemoths mercilessly gnawed at the ships. Whether it was a civilian transport ship or a military ship, they treated the ships as delicacies.
In an instant, they ate a large ship clean!
Then, something even more terrifying happened.
Before the soldiers could arrive on the scene, the monsters had already started attacking the coastal land facilities.
Boom!
A huge explosion rang out, and a high-voltage power line tower was destroyed by the monsters’ claws.
The electric towers rose from the ground and dragged up dozens of thick electric wires. Sparks flew everywhere, like a dazzling fireworks show.
After destroying the electric tower, the monsters slowly turned around and slammed their long tails on the ground!
Slam!
A huge crack appeared on the ground as a result. Countless panicked people and cars did not have time to escape, and they fell into the crack.
“These b*stards! How dare they cause trouble along the coast? We won’t allow it!”
The genetically-enhanced warriors heard the news and rushed over. Numerous armored vehicles and emergency response teams followed closely behind.
Even though they were far away, they had already begun to utilize their firepower. Scorching fire continued to wreak havoc on the monsters’ bodies. They were riddled with countless bloody holes, and golden blood splattered everywhere along the coast.
Right then, the entire battlefield seemed to be painted in gold.
In the distance, several frigates and nuclear submarines gathered.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Various rescue forces advanced together. They vowed to kill these sea monsters, or else they would not be able to face the public!
At the same time, the reporters at the scene urgently broadcasted the situation while people watched their television screens in horror.
“Oh, my God, is this the end of the world? How could such a thing happen in our era?”
“Look! These terrifying beasts actually took the initiative to attack a human city. Do they want to fight us to the death?”
“How despicable! They’ve destroyed everything in such a rampant manner, and we’ve lost countless properties!”
“Wealth is secondary. The most important thing is the lives of innocent people! How do we make sense of this?”
After a fierce battle, the few monsters were finally forced back by the military’s firepower, and they slowly retreated to the bottom of the sea.
However, were they going to escape so easily?
