Chapter 159 Mad Fish Devours the Island (4K)

Terranes Ocean, 18°20'N, 64°50'W, at a depth of 3754 meters
Titan Throne, the "Eye of the Ocean" research base.

As the underwater research base of the Titan Throne, the Ocean Eye consists of six titanium alloy spherical chambers connected in a honeycomb pattern. The surface is covered with biomimetic scales that can reduce deep-sea pressure, and the chamber walls are filled with a layer of liquid glass gel.

These titanium alloy spherical chambers consist of structures such as a geothermal power plant, an ecological farm, a main control cabin, and a laboratory.

The oxygen required for the research base comes from the photosynthesis of algae grown on the ecological farm and from the decomposition of seawater by the geothermal power plant.

Ocean Eye is self-sufficient in food and freshwater, so researchers can stay there for weeks or even months at a time.

The most eye-catching thing was a huge creature lurking near the research base.

It was a gigantic octopus with a ferocious appearance.

Its body is like a moving mountain of flesh, with eight tentacles as thick as ancient trees, each extending nearly a hundred meters, and its surface covered with tens of thousands of suckers.

This deep-sea behemoth's skin has an amazing ability to mimic; when it is still, its body surface will show the same texture and color as the surrounding rock walls and mud.

The Emperor Monster "The Overturner" Tang En.

It is 550 meters long in total, with a head that is 60 meters long, a single tentacle that is over 100 meters long, a weight of about 12 tons, and an eyeball diameter of 25 meters.

Despite his ferocious appearance, Ton is a close companion of the Titan Throne and the guardian of the Eye of the Ocean.

In the conference room, the members of the Titan Throne, dressed in white lab coats, looked solemn.

Dr. Mick was among them.

He pointed to the screen in front of him.

"Can anyone tell me what this thing is?"

The screen prominently displayed a real-time underground topographic map of the Terranis Ocean, provided by the Level 4 ocean radar equipped on the Titan Throne.

The map shows a trench.

That is the Gnatna Trench, the deepest point in the Terranes Ocean, reaching a depth of 15232 meters.

At this very moment, a giant object is slowly sinking into the trench.

According to estimates, the object is about 1600 meters long, 600 meters wide, and about 240 meters high.

“This is the old-world ark that we, the Apocalypse Church, and the Iron Oath Brotherhood are looking for,” a professor in his fifties or sixties said.

As world-class organizations, the Cult of Apocalypse, the Throne of Titans, and the Iron Brotherhood often exchange intelligence.

In fact, their departments have also been working to find traces of humans from the old era.

Bishop Heath's decision to leave the wilderness was simply to have another channel for searching.

“I know,” Mick sighed.

He then frowned and gently tapped the old-fashioned ark.

"What surprised me was why this thing was alive?"

On the map, the old-era ark suddenly showed signs of life similar to those of a giant creature, even a heartbeat and breathing.

Since discovering this ancient ark, OceanEye researchers have been tracking it using marine radar.

Radar showed that the ark rose to the surface at an extremely high speed, devouring a large number of giant fish and several small islands.

Yes, that's right, it's an island.

Through the screen, the researchers could clearly see that the islands looked as if they had been bitten into something, and instantly fell apart.

Then, their remains were eaten up piece by piece, like a cake.

Even researchers who have dealt with wasteland monsters and Monarch monsters for years find this terrifying.

Mick took a deep breath, rubbed his face hard, and tried to calm himself down.

"Let's all think about this."

"A living ark, it is like a natural creature. It usually lies dormant in its home in the Genna Trench, but when it is hungry or lacks oxygen, it will rise more than 10,000 meters to feed."

"Damn it! Is this what the ark of humanity in the old days was like?"

After stomping his foot angrily, he put his hands on his hips and sighed helplessly.

"In any case, we need to find out what happened."

Upon discovering the ancient Ark, the Eye of the Ocean quickly reported it to its superiors. The Titan Throne, upon receiving the news, shared it with the Iron Brotherhood and the Cult of the Apocalypse.

The top executives of the three parties are currently discussing a solution.

The story of the old-era Ark has come to an end.

Right now, there is an even more pressing matter facing everyone in the Eye of the Ocean.

Mick stood up and readjusted the screen.

The screen displayed a large number of red dots on Terranis Ocean.

Those are all giant fish.

The giant fish are not native to the Terranis Ocean; they come from the distant Leviathan Ocean.

The two oceans are separated by thousands of miles.

The giant fish were able to reach the Terrani Ocean mainly because they had a ride on the ocean currents.

This large-scale, directional flow of water in the ocean carries schools of fish to various parts of the ocean.

As an organization specializing in the study of monsters, the Titan Throne naturally also studies giant fish.

After years of research, they learned a startling fact.

If this trend continues, every ocean will eventually be teeming with giant fish.

The deep sea is home to giant fish that are thousands or even tens of thousands of meters long.

These giant fish roam freely in the ocean, posing a significant threat to humankind.

The most obvious characteristic of giant fish is their high reproductive rate and their need for a lot of food.

A giant fish's powerful reproductive ability allows it to produce hundreds or even thousands of offspring, which will later grow into giant fish themselves.

Their enormous size means they require more food. As a result, the waters where schools of giant fish pass are often barren.

They eat everything: mud, seaweed, rocks, islands, and resources that respawn in the ocean.

Of course, their favorite food is humans.

Food in the ocean is ultimately limited and cannot sustain all the giant fish. Coupled with fierce competition among their own kind, many giant fish will die.

At that time, their carcasses will float downstream to the shores of various continents.

Just as they saw on the coast of the valley region at that time.

The giant fish's carcasses would rot and stink, polluting the coastline.

The reason why their flesh cannot be eaten is because eating it will turn you into a monster.

Therefore, how to deal with the giant fish became a thorny problem for the human world organization.

According to Titan Throne's estimates, the oceans will belong to giant fish in the future.

Unfortunately, according to Ocean Eye's detection, the number of giant fish in the Terranis Ocean is increasing.

Most shockingly, these giant fish seemed to sense something and all converged in one direction.

Everyone looked in that direction and fell silent.

That was clearly the direction of the moving island "Storm Island".

It serves as the only safe harbor for humankind in the Terranic Ocean.

Storm Island not only fulfills its obligations as a neutral harbor, but also serves as a habitat for human survivors.

There are two to three hundred thousand people on the island.

Previously, the number of giant fish in the Terranis Ocean was very small, posing no threat to Storm Island whatsoever.

Even if a few giant fish attack the island, they are quickly shot down by the island's defensive weapons.

Within just one week, tens of thousands of giant fish were brought to the Terrani Ocean by ocean currents.

Storm Island, with its large population, became their coveted target.

Upon discovering the giant fish's movements, the Eye of the Ocean immediately informed Storm Island.

According to calculations, the giant fish would catch up with Storm Island in an hour. Watching the numerous red dots on the screen getting closer and closer to Storm Island, everyone fell silent.

No one wanted to think about what would happen when the fish arrived on the island.

Meanwhile, on Storm Island.

Emergency evacuation and refuge operations have already begun on the island.

The fleet, speedboats, and mobile city left Storm Island one after another, accelerating their escape into the distance.

The entire island has been placed on high alert, and all kinds of weapons are ready to be deployed.

As time went on, giant fish appeared.

In the distance, the waves on the sea surface began to surge rapidly, and thousands of dorsal fins cut through the surface of the sea like black blades. If you looked closely, you could also see barnacles and corals clinging to them.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, thousands upon thousands of giant fish burst out of the water, creating a truly terrifying scene.

Many of the giant fish bulged their eyes as they leaped out of the water, staring intently at the human-made island.

In the command room, Song Jing immediately waved his hand.

"Fire!"

In an instant, hundreds of cannons deployed on Storm Island opened fire.

Intense artillery fire swept across the sea ahead in an instant, with explosions rolling and huge columns of water rising one after another.

Moreover, there were also pre-placed mines and depth charges in the sea area.

As the school of fish moved forward, they also triggered explosions.

In an instant, countless giant fish were blown to pieces.

The surviving giant fish did not flinch, but instead darted forward at high speed.

Soon, several giant fish broke out of the water, flapped their wings, and landed on the island's embankment.

What awaited them was the concentrated firepower of various fortresses and strongholds on the island.

Storm Island is not only a safe haven, but also a mobile war fortress.

Its artillery, machine guns, and personnel armament are all at level 3.

It is precisely because of this that this moving island has been able to stand for many years in the Terranis Ocean, where monster civilizations abound.

Under the intense barrage of fire, the giant fish that had been leading the charge were killed.

But that wasn't the end of it, because more and more giant fish kept leaping onto the island.

In an instant, hundreds of giant fish jumped up.

Their enormous bodies landed heavily on the port, buildings, and streets.

After landing, they crawl like seals using their pectoral and pelvic fins, and spring up their spines to leap, trying their best to find food on the island.

But the island's inhabitants either fled in fleets of ships and mobile cities or sought refuge in the central shelters.

A line of helicopters then flew in from the sky and began to straf the giant fish.

Under the carpet bombing by the helicopter, a large number of giant fish died.

But the giant fish charged forward relentlessly.

Although Storm Island is a level 3 weapon, it is no match for so many giant fish, wave after wave.

In the end, thousands of giant fish came to the island.

They thrashed about frantically, their mouths agape, searching the island for their beloved "food."

The carefully planned areas of Storm Island have been destroyed and left in ruins.

As Song Jing waved his hand to give the order, the garrison on Storm Island increased their firepower.

More and more giant fish are being shot.

In the end, only a few giant fish were left thrashing about on the island.

Seeing this scene, Song Jing and the other two couldn't help but relax.

I didn't expect that we could hold on so easily.

After all, when Storm Island was first established, the three organizations had considered the possibility of giant fish attacking the island. Therefore, all plans and combat procedures were set up according to the level of defense against giant fish swarms.

Song Jing then started a video call with Ocean's Eye.

"Everyone can rest assured, we are safe now," he said. "Although the giant fish were numerous, we have dealt with them. Humans still have a foothold in the Terranis Ocean."

To his surprise, Mick and the others in front of the screen remained silent.

Seeing their expressions, Song Jing's heart skipped a beat.

"What's wrong?" he asked instinctively.

Under his gaze, Mick slowly spoke.

“Bishop Song Jing, what you just dealt with was only the first wave of giant fish.”

"This"

"Now, the giant fish have arrived from all directions."

Song Jing's expression immediately changed, and he picked up his binoculars to look at the surrounding sea.

Thousands upon thousands of fins appeared from all directions, and more and more giant fish broke out of the water, rushing towards Storm Island one after another.

Among them are many that are hundreds of meters high.

What terrified Song Jing the most was that several huge mountain ranges appeared on the distant coastline.

Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be multiple spines.

Their owners are several giant ribbonfish, each measuring thousands of meters in length.

Seemingly fighting for food on Storm Island, these giant ribbonfish kept squeezing each other as they swam by, and soon began to wrestle.

In an instant, towering waves surged up on the distant sea.

Looking at the thousands upon thousands of giant fish leaping onto the island, Song Jing sighed softly.

“I thought we could hold out.” He waved his hand as he spoke. “Pass on my order: use the Level 4 teleportation device to teleport everyone out of the shelter.”

This is Storm Island's last resort.

A level 4 transport device capable of transporting living beings.

With the current resources of Storm Island, it is possible to teleport 100,000 people away.

This means that more than half of the population will be left behind. This is also why those mobile cities and fleets fled.

When necessary, choices must be made.

Choose those who can live and those who cannot live.

Song Jing and the other two were the ones who made the choice.

Instead of teleporting away, they stayed behind.

Watching the ever-growing, densely packed schools of fish landing on the island, Song Jing couldn't help but sigh.

"This time, we really have nowhere to stand."

“I remember you were quite happy when you first came to manage the island.” Maximus lit a cigarette.

“Of course,” Song Jing nodded. “This place can accommodate two or three hundred thousand people to live comfortably.”

During a casual chat, he pressed the huge button in front of him.

Alarms blared throughout Storm Island in an instant.

The fish, unaware of what was happening, continued to frantically search for food on the shore.

A dozen seconds later, the entire island suddenly exploded, turning into a huge ball of fire.

In the conference room of Ocean's Eye, Mick, with mixed feelings, looked at the screen that had turned into static and gently shook his head.

"Farewell, everyone from Storm Island."
