Chapter 207 Deep Sea Changes
"beep."
"beep."
"beep."
Changle Pier, the largest ocean-going fishing ferry on the island (Ruhua), was retreating and heading towards the blue sea after three whistles.
Captain's indoor.
Zhang Tutu reported a set of data.
"The sea breeze is seventh, the wave is three meters high."
Chaoyue assisted the fishing boat on the side and inspected the various instrument panels in the cab.
"Voltage, water pressure, oil level is normal."
"Sonar is normal."
“The radio equipment is normal.”
"Route confirmed."
...
"Set off."
After the data were determined, Chen Yang slowly pushed the clock (throttle) of the ocean tanker. The theoretical maximum navigation speed of this ocean fishing boat can reach 25 nautical miles.
The April issue signal disappeared, about 200 nautical miles away from the island. Even if you drive at the fastest speed, it will take eight hours to reach the site of the incident. There are 12 crew members in the April issue. Fortunately, the population size of the system panel has dropped to 97 and has not continued to fall. Judging from the current situation, other crew members are still safe.
Ocean fishing boats were driving on the blue sea. During the trip, Zhang Tutu used wireless intercom tools and kept shouting: "This is Liuhua. Please answer when you receive the signal in April."
"April issue, please answer when you receive the signal."
“…”
Just as the fishing boat was sailing for five hours and was very close to the site where the April issue disappeared, Chen Yang found that the floating ball signal station he arranged on the sea seemed to have suffered large-scale damage.
Chen Yang asked the crew to catch a floating signal station and found that although the floating ball was still intact, all the electronic information equipment on it was destroyed. Chen Yang compared the teeth marks, and there were biting marks on it. Depending on the situation, there should be something, he used the floating signal station as food and bit it directly.
After observing the bite mark, Chen Yang found that the largest tooth mark on the bite mark was 50 cm long, but judging from the length of the teeth, Chen Yang believed that the one who bit the float signal was most likely a carnivorous beast with a size of more than 20 meters. The total length of April issue was thirty meters. If it was attacked by such a giant, it would be very dangerous.
And at this moment.
The sonar display was the first to send a signal, detecting unknown creatures about the same size as April on the sea surface about 10 nautical miles ahead. However, what puzzles everyone is that these creatures seem to die, all of them are still in a state of static, and larger fish are swimming around them.
Twenty minutes later.
The ocean-going fishing boat approached these still creatures. The scene that caught my eye was frightened by everyone in the fishing boat. Hundreds of blue whales of different sizes were lying across the sea, with blood red in a radius of several miles, and the sea surface was densely filled with sharks, and various greedy predators were enjoying a feast.
Even people like Chaoyue and Zhang Tutu who often go out of the battlefield showed a look of horror. What happened? Hundreds of blue whales died collectively here.
Chen Yang observed that the blue whale closest to them had a fatal wound on its body, and the abdomen seemed to have been opened by a sharp weapon, and the intestines and stomach inside were flowing out.
At first, Chen Yang thought it was done by the Dragon King Whale. After all, in this world, blue whales seem to be the food of Dragon King Whale, but after thinking about it, he immediately denied this possibility. When Dragon King Whale hunts blue whales, it always uses cooperative methods, and often only five or six can successfully hunt a blue whale.
The dense blue whale corpses are a bit abnormal at the moment. His guess was verified within a few minutes because the corpses of the Dragon King Whale were mixed in this group of blue whale.
I didn't expect this overlord predator.
It also became the object of predation.
Chen Yang observed carefully for a while and found that the wounds of these Dragon King whale's corpses were even more terrifying. The wound extended from the abdomen to the lower jaw and was torn into a huge piece of flesh. This wound could not have been caused by the blue whale. It seemed to be bitten by some sharp teeth, but it was torn apart while struggling.
Seeing this, Chen Yang took a deep breath and couldn't help but think deeply. Looking at the whale corpses on the sea, he felt that this was a massacre of unequal power. The other party was killing the blue whale and the dragon king whale, and there was no sign of eating. Obviously, they did not treat them as food.
This reminded Chen Yang of the time when he first encountered the crocodile and wolf beast. The crocodile and wolf beast sometimes showed a violent side and would kill all other larger creatures in the territory.
And at this moment.
The population size of the system panel has changed again, falling from 97 to 95. According to the situation, two people were killed. Chen Yang accelerated to leave this place. The peace of the past six months has made him somewhat expand and relaxed his vigilance. He gradually forgot that this island does not belong entirely to it, but also to the "indigenous people" of these islands.
The Sixhua continued to drive for more than two hours.
Finally, we arrived at the place where the April issue signal disappeared. It seemed to be in a wind and wave zone, with big waves more than four meters high, and the howling sea breeze. Chen Yang found some hull fragments in the ups and downs.
I searched along the fragments, searched for about an hour, and finally found an upside down fishing boat about thirty nautical miles away from the place where the signal disappeared. If there was no accident, the ship should be the April issue.
Behind this scene.
Everyone started to observe silence.
What is most afraid of at sea disasters is this kind of capsized accident. Chen Yang has seen a lot of news about shipwrecks. When the ship is down, there is still a lot of air inside. However, when encountering this situation, it is almost difficult for people trapped inside to save themselves, and they can only wait until they die.
Zhang Tutu, who had rescue experience, came to the bottom of the April issue and hit the hull with a hammer, making a huge sound. He hoped that through this interactive method, he would determine whether there was still anyone alive in the April issue.
But it knocked for a while.
Zhang Tutu received no response.
Chaoyue and Zhang Tutu had experience in underwater training. They planned to wear diving suits and go to the April issue to find out, but were stopped by Chen Yang. The April issue was flooded like this, even if there were still people inside, they should all die.
The population size shown in the system panel is still 95 people, which means that at least seven crew members are still alive. Chen Yang had a intuition that Angus and the others would not be under the boat. If they waste time searching in the boat, the remaining seven people who survived would also be likely to die.
“Search in nearby waters.”
Chen Yang made a decision. Whether the decision was correct or not was directly related to the life or death of the remaining seven crew members. Just an hour later, Ou Shen seemed to have fallen on Chen Yang's side.
Not far from the fishing boat.
A dozen people wearing life jackets were holding lifebuoys, and their bodies were all tied together. They were rising and falling with the waves. After seeing them, Chen Yang immediately lowered the lifeboat and rescued the surviving crew members.
Unfortunately.
Some of the crew members had gone, but their bodies were still tied together. It seemed that the person who made the decision was Angus. He did not want the bodies of these crew members to wander around the sea and to return to the island.
Most of the crew members were also in a state of extreme water shortage and weakness. Angus's lips were cracked. After seeing Chen Yang, this man, who was about the same size as Zhang Tututu, burst into tears involuntarily.
"Life well."
"Liss and children are waiting for you."
