Monster Factory - 1325
At this time, there were still seven people in the combat command center. In addition to Captain Carol, there were two guards, the combat command room, and the head of the weapons department.
Madix, who was in charge of the mission, was already cold, and the command was naturally transferred to Captain Carol.
So the other six people in the command room all looked at Captain Carol dumbfounded, hoping that he could do something.
In those eyes, there were despair and doubts, and even the boss encouraged us to let it go.
? ? ?
Courage is based on strength.
If the strength of the two sides is very different, it is not called courage, but called death.
After thinking about it for a moment, Captain Carol simply turned his face… and closed his eyes.
What else can I do besides waiting to die?
Only after waiting for more than ten seconds, Captain Carol hadn’t waited for the “trial”. On the contrary, he felt that the hot air around him was no longer hot.
He opened his eyes in surprise, but soon the surprise turned into panic.
The terrifying metal monster is still in the command room, but it walked from the side of Captain Carol to the information platform of the command center.
It seems that there is something hidden in its head that is no less intelligent than humans, because Captain Carol clearly saw it with a pair of dark eyes scanning back and forth on the screen of the information platform.
Captain Carol’s heartbeat followed its gaze, rising up a little bit.
He dared to guarantee that the metal monster in front of him could definitely understand the lines of complex parameters and the slowly moving graphics on the screen.
When the metal monster stayed motionless on one of the screens, Captain Carroll was struck by lightning, and even his fast beating heart almost came to a halt.
Because on that electronic chart screen, in addition to the green red dot in the middle marking the position of the ship, there are also several orange and yellow dots in different positions.
There are four yellow dots, and each dot is not far from the ship’s position. Each dot has a dotted line running through it, and these dotted lines eventually converge in one place.
That’s right~
The other four yellow dots are other ships performing this mission.
Two integrated supply ships, two attack nuclear submarines lurking in the sea at high speed.
At this time they are executing radio silent commands, and their tracks are top secret. Along with this ship, their final converging target point is also top secret. Except for the few people who made this combat mission, the outside world has no way of knowing their coordinates.
Because the route is top-secret, the two supply ships and submarines will sail strictly according to the route and speed planned in advance, and will not yaw at all.
There should be no deviation, strict implementation of silent instructions, and absolute punctual arrival within the confluence time.
This was originally the iron law that any ship must abide by in maritime combat missions.
Because of this, on the electronic chart in the combat command room serving as the flagship of this time, only the three key points of time, ship speed, and route are needed to calculate the accurate position of the other four ships on the chart.
There is no need to keep confidential in the combat command room. Not only are there accurate positions on the chart, but even the number of the supply ship and the depth of the submarine are remarks.
Seeing the metal monster staying motionless beside the electronic chart, Captain Carol couldn’t even breathe. He screamed frantically in his heart, “It can’t understand~It can’t understand~”
He hoped that the metal monster would not understand.
But he understands that this is just to deceive himself.
That metal monster can touch a high-speed cruising ship without knowing it. How could it not have studied electronic charts?
What’s more, there are no encryption measures on the chart, and the status of the other ships is clearly written in English.
Since it can touch the inside of this ship, it must be able to touch the inside of several other ships.
It’s time to make a choice.
After a while, Captain Carroll decided to perform his last duties as a captain regardless of personal safety.
He took a deep breath, facing the communicator, and also to the sluggish colleagues beside him: “All crew members, I am Captain Carroll. I announce that I will abandon this mission.”
“We have encountered an irresistible enemy. For the safety of several other ships, I announced that the radio silence will be lifted immediately and an emergency communication command will be sent to the surrounding ships.”
“After the emergency communication order was issued, all crew members immediately abandoned the ship.”
Following Captain Carol’s order, the orange-yellow alarm inside the ship quickly turned blood red, and the voice also changed to repeated screams.
This is the highest level of distress alert for abandoning damage control and entering the abandonment procedure.
The alarm was passed to the command room of course.
The harsh warning sound made Captain Carol already give up his escape. He believed that the metal monster would definitely kill him, and imagined what evaluation he would get after death.
But the metal monster can’t see or hear the harsh warning sound.
What is it thinking?
Why not kill the Quartet?
Even if two colleagues had already taken advantage of it to stop and sneak away, it was uninterested.
…
The saber-toothed tiger is certainly not interested in those carbon-based creatures at the moment.
From the moment the electronic chart was discovered, its combat mission changed.
The priority of hunting all ships is of course higher than just hunting one.
Therefore, the saber-toothed tiger slowly stood up in the bursting eyes of the remaining crew members.
It flicked the fission knife that kept releasing high temperature from its tail flick, and randomly inserted the fission knife into the composite armor floor under its feet to cool the fission knife. On the forefoot it was originally used for running, a metal flow changed from a beast-like claw to a primate forelimb with flexible fingers.
Following the action of the saber-toothed tiger, Captain Carroll’s eyes were torn apart, and his thinking was broken a little.
The metal monster unexpectedly changed into a pair of “hands”, and then on the console, it surpassed the speed of human hands and operated frantically.
“what!”
Captain Carol ran away, and he didn’t have the courage to look any further.
He would rather this be a dream, he would rather have hallucinations than believe what he saw before him.
Escape~
Go fucking mission, go fucking revenge.
As Captain Carol fled, he ordered the ship to be abandoned immediately. As long as they can escape, it is the greatest victory.
Accompanied by the stern sirens, all the crew on the ship were at large, a scene of doomsday.
Pieces of life jackets were worn on the body, and cylinders of inflatable lifeboats were bombed into the sea. The cylinder quickly split into two after smashing into the sea, and the inflatable became a lifeboat that could accommodate more than 20 crew members.
The deck was crowded with crew members. They climbed into the sea one by one along the life-saving nets. Some of the brave crew members simply jumped into the sea.
Captain Carroll, who was crowded on the deck, caught the head of the radar department and roared and asked: “Has the emergency escape order been sent out?”
The latter’s face paled with fear, “No…no, after the radio silence was lifted, we discovered that all communication channels were disturbed, even the directional radio with the strongest anti-interference ability.”
Captain Carol almost fell to the ground.
He ordered the entire ship to evacuate, relying on the evacuation, emergency communications to several other ships. In this way, the other four ships can launch an indiscriminate attack above the ship’s waterline.
There are two lurking assault submarines, and they must be able to destroy the two metal monsters at the same time.
At that time, the crew members hiding in the lifeboat can venture to board the ship to look for the “corpse” of the metal monster while still remaining undamaged below the waterline and the ship can barely float on the surface of the sea after the attack is over.
Now a full-channel interference has completely shattered his dream.
…
Wait~ there is a way.
Captain Carol raised the urge to go to the ammunition depot, detonating the ammunition.
However, this idea comes and goes fast, let alone that it will cause myself to explode. Even if the ammunition is detonated, the excess inventory in the ammunition warehouse is enough to blow the entire ship into fragments and quickly sink to the bottom of the sea, and it is impossible to snatch the wreckage of the two metal monsters.
Forget it, it’s good to pick it up.
After thinking about what happened to Maddix, thinking about the horror scene that happened in the command room, Captain Carol did not expect to be better.
Five minutes later, Captain Carroll was transferred to the lifeboat with all his crew.
More than twenty orange-red lifeboats were scattered around the ship. Captain Carroll stood on the lifeboat farthest from the ship and shouted at the handheld satellite communicator in vain.
Full-band radio interference still exists.
At the same time as Captain Carol shouted, he looked at the sky above his head suspiciously from time to time.
I don’t know if it is an illusion, or if there is a roar in the ear, Captain Carroll always feels that there is an unknown flying machine above their heads, staring at their group of…”ants”.
