As the world's leading super freighter, the Kunpeng has the most complete watertight cabin and automatic repair system.

However, when there is a monster on the bottom of the sea attacking the hull frantically, no matter how tight the defense is, it can't prevent the hull from being torn apart like a matchbox.

"The automatic patching system has failed!"

"There is a problem with the power system, and the whole ship is losing power!"

"The number two engine block was overloaded, the number four engine block exploded, and we lost half our power!"

"We're sinking...no...we're being pulled into the depths by it!"

A series of panicked screams plunged the bridge into an abyss of despair.

The captain, who has experienced hundreds of battles, has nerves like cast iron, and never moves in the stormy sea, is still unwilling to give up the chance of dying.

He ordered the chief mate to lead the team himself, leading an elite team deep into the bottom of the cabin, and manually turned on the repair system.

However, when the first mate led a team of brave sailors into the waist-deep sea water, what awaited them was not only the fierce sea water pouring in, but also...

The first officer did not come back for a long time.

There was a scream from the communicator.

The cry was quickly drowned out by the noise, followed by "gul-doo-gul-doo, gurg-doo-gul-doo," like the sound of a swamp bubbling.

When the second team of repair and rescue personnel arrived at the bottom of the cabin, they did not find the first officer and the first batch of sailors, only a thick layer of plasma floating on the sea water.

It can also be seen that bright red handprints are smeared on the bulkhead that has not been completely submerged.

That was the last trace of the human being, slamming on the bulkhead before being torn to shreds.

The Kunpeng continued to sink.

Beaten by the waves or something else, the metallic fatigue from the hull grew harsher and louder.

The sound of "squeak" is like the whistle of death.

"Boom! Crack!"

Even the weather messes with it.

It seems that the appearance of the monster disturbed the dynamic balance of the magnetic field of the heaven and the earth, and the storm that had gradually subsided turned violent again in an instant.

Lightning and thunder came one after another, and bolts of lightning hit the faces of the crew, almost tearing their hearts apart.

"Look, look!"

At this time, a crew member covered his heart and pointed to the porthole next to the bridge in panic.

His voice was more distorted than that of a woman in labor.

Everyone looked along his trembling fingertips, and saw tentacles ten times thicker than pythons, sticking to the porthole and spreading up.

These tentacles are an eerie deep purple, covered with suckers and bone blades, and dripping with a highly corrosive slime.

Even though all the portholes of the Kunpeng are equipped with tempered glass, which can withstand the strongest stormy waves, these tentacles crawled over them, and they were still corroded to emit green smoke, "crackling", bursting out large spider web-like cracks.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Outside the porthole, behind the bulkhead that no one could see through, there was a dull crashing sound.

This sound is like the drumstick of the devil king of hell, beating heavily on everyone's heart.

With each impact, the metal bulkheads on the bridge bulged inward.

After a while, dense bulges appeared on the surrounding bulkheads, like the fangs of an invisible demon.

The tentacles of the monster completely wrapped the bridge.

It seems that it is not in a hurry to drag the Kunpeng into the deep sea completely, but with the mentality of a cat teasing a mouse, or a person who is not too hungry, slowly opening a can, pursuing some kind of evil sense of ritual.

"ah!"

Finally someone couldn't take it anymore, picked up his weapon, rushed out of the bridge, and came to the deck.

——It is not so much that they are desperate and see death as home, it is better to say that they cannot bear to suffer such cruel mental torture before they die, and decide to end this fate like a horror movie early.

These days, the sea is not safe. Super freighters like the Kunpeng belong to shipping companies with deep background and strong influence. They can use the resources of the military to militarize the freighters and carry a large number of individual soldiers with heavy firepower. equipment.

On the deck of the Kunpeng, the space for about a thousand containers was reduced, and eight rapid-fire guns were installed.

There are also enough heavy machine guns, grenades and rocket launchers in the arsenal next to the bridge.

Most of the crew have received militarized training, and many sailors were originally veterans of the navy, and they armed themselves to the teeth in the first place.

However, when they held heavy machine guns, carried rocket launchers, or climbed up the turret from the passage under the deck, and saw the true face of the monster, they all experienced heart paralysis for a few seconds.

Then sadly found that the "heavy firepower" in his hand may be no different from a toothpick-shooting toy in the eyes of the monster.

This is a chubby monster with a trunk diameter of more than thirty meters.

And the sixteen tentacles with teeth and claws will increase ten times in length.

It looks like a mutant of some kind of giant octopus or king squid, but it looks even uglier and hideous.

On the dark purple torso, there are pools of continuously flowing and changing light spots, just like human facial features, which can form rich expressions.

But most of the "expressions" look like a grinning skull.

"Boom! Crack!"

Lightning bolts fell from the sky one after another.

As if attracted by this monster, all fell on its torso.

However, instead of being blasted into charcoal by the lightning, the monster can absorb the power of the lightning and "charge" itself.

Its tentacles danced more intensely, and the faintly shining skull covering the entire torso became more mysterious.

"Yes, it is!"

The hearts of all the sailors who saw the true face of the monster involuntarily shrank into a ball.

"It's 'Lightning Skull'!"

They groaned in pain, spat out the last of their strength.

Not all monsters have a name, and many monsters only have a number.

The monster has a name, indicating that it has very frequent contact with humans and has left a deep impression on humans.

Generally speaking, it will never be a good impression.

"Lightning Skull", a soft-bodied tentacled monster with a body length of about 30 meters (not counting tentacles) to 300 meters (counting tentacles), and its weight is unknown.

It has an extremely fast submerged speed, and its waving tentacles can cut through the middle of a fishing boat with a displacement of thousands of tons. It has extremely strong cell repair and regeneration capabilities. Even if the tentacles are cut off at the root, they can recover in a month or two.

In addition, it also has at least one superpower of manipulating electric current, which can release a high-voltage arc with an attack distance of several hundred meters. With its tentacles that are originally 300 meters long, the attack range is extremely terrifying.

In the indigenous languages ​​of the South Pacific, it also has a name called "Chichilis", which means "the devil who comes with lightning".

In the past year, the Lightning Skeleton has been active in the waters south of the equator, and has contacted the human fleet at least seven times, destroying twelve human merchant ships, a destroyer, a frigate, two rescue helicopters and an armed helicopter.

According to the speculation of marine biologists, Lightning Skull is very sensitive to the sound of the propellers of human ships. In its perception, the ripples caused by the propellers stirring the sea water may be like the sharp noise of metal scraping glass, which is absolutely unbearable.

Therefore, it is extremely dangerous, a ferocious beast with a strong desire to actively attack human ships.

Especially three months ago, it collided with a human naval escort fleet, and was blown off by a depth charge with two tentacles. It suffered a big loss and became extremely brutal and bloodthirsty.

Before the tentacles could grow back, it started to retaliate, attacking again and again, damaging many human merchant ships even more.

In response to this threat, the Navy also sent an additional escort fleet to launch a hunting and anti-hunting battle with the Lightning Skull in the South Pacific.

Unexpectedly, this crazy and cunning demon escaped silently to the "Oriental Bermuda" north of the equator, and jumped out of the encirclement of the human navy!

"Boom! Boom, boom, boom!"

The first second when they found out that the opponent was the Lightning Skull, the sailors were completely desperate.

However, human beings, even in the most desperate abyss, will not give up the pursuit of hope.

Even if you have no hope, you must bring hope to more people, more compatriots who are connected by blood.

"Brothers, come on, even if you die, you have to explode the tentacles of this beast!"

"The navy is encircling this beast. As long as we can delay long enough to inflict serious damage on this beast, it will not escape!"

"The Marine Brotherhood will avenge us!"

With the mentality of burning everything together, the sailors fired fiercely.

The eight rapid-fire cannons all turned to the Lightning Skull, not bothering to fire at its tentacles that were ravaging and destroying the hull, and aimed at its torso, firing angry and hot shells.
