Chapter 234 Preparing for Battle! The Frenzied Sea Monster of the Devil's Sea! (Please Subscribe)

Inside the Elf Prisoner of War's main hall, soft light shone on the elves sitting at the dining tables, and the air was filled with the aroma of food and the strange smell of disinfectant.

These elves have a fixed time for rest and study every afternoon.

At this very moment, a well-produced educational film is being played slowly and deliberately in Elvish language on the projection screen on the wall.

"...The initiators of ancient wars...war was also a redistribution of resources and ideas. The victors would write the order, while the vanquished would become part of it..."

The gentle narration paired with carefully edited historical footage sounds like a patient and encouraging public lecture.

The elven prisoners of war below had long lost the fierce determination they had when they were first captured.

The prolonged detention and the well-timed appeasement policy have smoothed out some of their rough edges.
At this moment, although a few proud elves still turned their heads away with disdain, most people's attention was unconsciously drawn to the screen, and some even showed thoughtful expressions.

On the other side of the large screen, Gong Pengfei, sitting in front of the one-way glass, watched this scene and sighed silently.

The education was very effective, but unfortunately... it only addressed the symptoms, not the root cause.

These elegant, long-eared creatures possess the most illogical memory-modifying magic—the ability to delete memories with a single click.

He turned his head and looked at his assistant, who was sipping his coffee, and couldn't help but speak up: "Xiao Tang, don't you think it would be so much easier if we could develop a technology to counteract mind magic interference and permanently imprint what we're instilling into them?"

"Team Leader Gong, please dream during your sleep time."

Tang Huanzhu didn't even look up, her dark circles under her thick eyelashes particularly noticeable. She swirled the glass in her hand, the concentrated Americano inside shimmering with a gentle hue diluted by two parts sugar and two parts milk.

"We haven't even fully understood our own human brains, so let's not even think about cracking the brain firewalls of magical races from other worlds."

In the past few days, in order to welcome another group of guests, their team has been working almost non-stop. The materials and contingency plans they have compiled are piled up high, all in order to collect interaction data of two completely different intelligent beings in the same space.

Now, it's time to see the results.

Gong Pengfei frowned as he looked at her high-calorie drink: "The sugar in your coffee is almost as much as in milk tea. Aren't you afraid of gaining weight?"

"Don't worry," Tang Huanzhu finally finished the last sip, slammed the cup down with a crisp sound, "Today's calorie intake and basal metabolic rate are within my calculations, with an error of no more than five percent."

She raised her eyes, and those bloodshot eyes, which were filled with sleepless nights, now shone with an almost fanatical light.

The educational video on the screen had just finished playing and automatically switched to a scenic view.

"Team Leader Gong, it's time!"

As Tang Huanzhu spoke, she stood up from her chair, stretched her stiff neck, and made a chilling cracking sound.

Upon hearing this, Gong Pengfei turned his head, looked into the distance, cleared his throat, and walked out of the one-way glass observation room.

He went to the front of the hall and then pressed the call button into the microphone.

The tranquility of the lounge was abruptly disrupted.

Accompanied by a piercing crackling sound of electricity, Gong Pengfei's unremarkable face appeared in the sight of all the elves.

"Good afternoon, fellow elven prisoners of war." Gong Pengfei's voice echoed through the room through the loudspeaker, devoid of any emotion. "I'll take a few minutes of your time to announce something."

The elves instantly abandoned their lazy demeanor, and gazes converged on the screen, some wary, some numb, and some harboring deep-seated hatred.

"Tomorrow, you will be welcoming a new batch of 'labor cellmates'."

Gong Pengfei paused, seemingly considering his words, but ultimately chose the most direct approach.

"A group of dwarven prisoners of war... well, they should be called half-human prisoners. They were captured by us after being defeated on the front lines some time ago, and they're still a bit disoriented. After our initial 'communication,' they've temporarily given up the habit of greeting people with muskets and other weapons."

Half-human?

These two words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly silencing the entire lounge.

Even the most unruly elves turned around abruptly, their faces showing undisguised astonishment and disgust.

"They will do the same work as you, cultivating the land and planting the grains and vegetables to fill their own stomachs." Gong Pengfei's lips seemed to curve into a slight smile, then quickly smoothed out. "I hope everyone... can live in harmony."

He emphasized the last four words, his eagerness to see the drama unfold almost overflowing.

"Alright, that's all I have to say. Have a nice afternoon, everyone."

Upon seeing Gong Pengfei return, the elves in the main hall erupted in excitement.

"Half-humans? They brought those rats covered in Gru dung and reeking of cheap beer here?"

"Have humans gone mad! What are they trying to do? Do they want us and the dwarves to kill each other? Have they built an arena here so we can fight each other?"

"You idiot, they just said to participate in labor together and grow our own food."

"This is definitely a conspiracy! Another army has been defeated... Which half-human clan was it?"

"The forwards? Or the main force? How could they have been defeated? They're all a bunch of country bumpkins. Could it be... um, those arrogant half-humans must have been trying to launch a sneak attack on humanity?"

Countless questions and angry speculations made it impossible for the elves to maintain their facade of calm.

This human tactic is truly devastating, more impactful than any educational film.

It's important to know that the cave-dwelling half-humans and elves are considered to be two races in the same boat, often forming an alliance against the southern humans.

Now, a large number of elves have been defeated and captured, and dwarves have also been captured.

Have the kingdoms of these two races reached the end of their reign?

Mother Goddess, please send down your divine message and tell us more information!

The elves prayed, and when it was time to work that afternoon, many people seemed distracted.

Even after returning to their cells from their labor, the oppressive atmosphere became completely uncontrollable and permeated all the prison areas.

Inside an eight-person cell, Nami of the Water Clan was vigorously wiping her plastic water cup, as if trying to wipe away all the air from it.

"Those stupid half-humans are so stubborn and arrogant. They probably just charged at any human they saw, forgetting to even bring their brains. That's probably how they lost, and they deserved it!"

“Nami, you underestimate humans.” The Cloud Clan elf Arisha, lying across from us, shook her head, her eyes far more profound. “This is more like a test humans have given us. They’ve shown us so many films about the clash and exchange of civilizations, and now they’re putting a real-life conflict right in front of us. These outsiders are watching to see how we engage with them!”

"A test?" A young Wood Clan elf named Fina couldn't help but interject. "Should we fight or not? If we fight, it plays right into the humans' hands; they can collect data. If we don't fight... are we supposed to greet those stinky, alcohol- and rust-smelling half-humans with smiles on our faces? Good heavens, I'd rather go and hear those ridiculous human theories of equality three hundred more times!"

Philin's exaggerated expression elicited a few low, bitter laughs, which also expressed the feelings of all the elves.

Working alongside dwarves?
This is even more absurd and unacceptable than asking them to admit that the dwarves' gods are the strongest!
Lena leaned against the cold wall, her gaze fixed on the sky separated by barbed wire outside the window: "Perhaps, perhaps... they don't care whether we fight or not."

She spoke softly, her voice tinged with despair.

"They just want to see how we behave when we're locked up in the same place, and then find a suitable opportunity to create irreconcilable conflict between our two groups?"

"If that's really the case, then the evil in humanity deserves to be punished!"

"Could it be that they also want us to have a chat, settle the accounts, and then let us go back?"

"Uh? This... can't be right?"

"Humans periodically release some prisoners back, and if... I mean if humans really do release prisoners back, then our information will be known to the Mother Goddess, the High Priest, and the Governors. Perhaps the Governors and the High Priests are trying to rescue us."

“But we haven’t sensed any magical fluctuations lately, even though we’re so close to the front lines…” an elf said with a gloomy expression, “Is it possible that the humans are advancing very quickly, and that they’ve already reached areas tens of kilometers or even deeper from our location…”

Hearing their companion's words, the elves present all felt bad.

If humans could easily crush their race, would the elves have any future?

I just hope those half-humans didn't fail as miserably!
In another world, at the Time-Space Gate Command Center, in Su Mingjin's office.

She gently stroked the warm surface of the purple clay teapot with her fingers, then poured herself a cup of piping hot, strong tea. The rising steam blurred her vision.

Two documents were spread out on the table, one about dwarves and the other about elves.

“Interesting.” Su Mingjin tapped her fingertips lightly on the dwarf’s report.

The dwarves likely used falcons for communication, and they have now made three round trips.

Given the speed at which the messenger birds fly, the distant dwarven capital should have received news of the capture of the frontline troops long ago.

The dwarves should have received instructions from their superiors as well!
Unfortunately, humanity seems to have missed out on any goodwill from the other side. Currently, apart from a few sneaky reconnaissance squads of dwarves patrolling the perimeter of the base and being photographed by drones in hundreds of high-resolution images, the other side has not taken any further military action.

Given the nature of dwarves, they will definitely seek revenge if they suffer a loss.

But the other party was like a bull being bullied in a bullring, neither charging nor retreating, just standing there, panting heavily, staring at you with bloodshot eyes.

This is what bothers the bullfighters.

"Are they stalling for time? Or are they afraid? Are they going to team up with the elves again and launch a major attack on us?"

Su Mingjin thought to herself, then turned her gaze to another report.

The problem with the elves is equally thorny, but the approach is completely different.

With the previous attack by the spirits failing, their power has now been greatly reduced.

The birds that once plagued drone reconnaissance teams have reduced their attacks on drones by 99%.

In the vast forest, the elegant and deadly figures who launched attacks on their drones are no longer to be found.

Commander Man and his men felt that this was the calm before the storm.

Su Mingjin thought so too.

Abandoning the border and withdrawing troops is not a sign of peace-loving; it is a way of building up strength for a decisive final offensive.

Like a fully drawn bow, the arrow is on the string, ready to be released.

She leaned back in her chair and rubbed her temples. Reason told her that trying to make peace with these two somewhat delusional races according to Earth's rules would easily backfire.

The best way to respect otherworldly civilizations is actually to use the most ruthless methods to turn them into a page in the history books of the past.

This is the best way to respect civilizations from other worlds.

but……

Their political nature dictates that they cannot do so.

Furthermore, recent investigations have confirmed that both elves and dwarves are oppressed. At the same time, there is no reproductive isolation between elves and humans, and although dwarves have significant genetic differences, biologists have told them that dwarves can reproduce normally with humans.

This discovery led the University of Tokyo to temporarily abandon its practice of treating other civilizations with "highest respect."

Uniting the majority and continuing to try to reach out to the other party based on previous successful experiences became an order from superiors.

Of course, deep down she also had a sliver of hope.

If we kill all the dwarves and elves, how will we study their biological specimens?

It's better to get them to cooperate willingly than to lock them up in a zoo for research, isn't it?
Tokyo University is not like the eagle, a civilization devoid of humanity that, upon discovering a long-lived species, attempts to completely dismember it, or even grind it into powder and devour it entirely.

Before experiencing the devastating pain of war, they were people of high moral character!
"Peace... just think of it as buying a lottery ticket." Su Mingjin shook her head with a wry smile. "Knowing that the odds of winning are infinitely close to zero, but if you don't buy, you'll never have a chance. What if? What if a windfall really falls from the sky?"

As she was pondering, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in!"

Brigade Commander Man pushed open the door and saluted.

"what's up?"

"Report, Commander Su, the forbidden area exploration preparations made by Brigade Commander Fu are all complete. You may go and take a look!"

"Okay, I'll go in a bit." Su Mingjin noticed that the brigade commander's gaze was fixed on the apples in front of the coffee table, and pointed to them. "Go get some if you want."

Commander Man grinned, thanked him, and then picked up the apple on the table and took a bite.

"Mr. Su, are you worried about the attack by the dwarves and elves?"

Su Mingjin nodded.

Commander Man smiled knowingly: "They should have assembled by now, right? The proud elves, clashing with the hot-tempered dwarves, I wonder how they'll end up arguing!"

"Yes, Gong Pengfei and his team have already placed them together according to plan. I wonder if they can analyze them and find any clues."

Just then, the office communicator suddenly rang!
Su Mingjin answered the call.

"President Su, the dwarves and elves in Prisoner Camp Three are fighting!"

Su Mingjin and Brigade Commander Man exchanged a glance, both seeing the expected look in each other's eyes.

Su Mingjin stood up, a faint smile playing on her lips. "It's even faster than I expected. Looks like their patience isn't all that great after all."

Commander Man nodded, then glanced at his watch: "It's a pity we can't look at this right away."

"Let's go on an adventure in the ocean!"

"Ok!"

As Su Mingjin followed the brigade commander into the command center, a tense atmosphere immediately enveloped her.

A huge electronic screen wall occupied the entire field of vision, divided into hundreds of live images, taking in everything on the front line.

The location in the video is a coastal edge area hundreds of kilometers away, which humans have named the "Forbidden Zone of Ancient Giant Battlefield Ruins".

This coastal area, which the dwarves revered as the "Land of the Ancient Gods" and the local savages called the "Battlefield of the Ancient Giants," has been temporarily designated as a restricted area of ​​the highest danger level by humans after exploration.

At this very moment, Su Mingjin and Brigade Commander Man were watching the pioneering and exploration mission that humans were about to undertake hundreds of kilometers away! The aerial view from drones, the fixed sentry view from situational awareness cameras, and the first-person view from the helmets of frontline soldiers together wove together a comprehensive aerial network.

Perhaps the only thing that would disappoint the warmongers is that the soldiers are all staying on shore, and almost no one is taking a boat to venture into the Devil's Sea.

Of course, no one has ever ventured deep into the ruins by land.

Technology and industrial equipment are great things; they allow soldiers to explore dangerous areas without their own flesh and blood.

Trading damaged equipment for important clues and intelligence is definitely a worthwhile trade.

The University of Tokyo has long since moved beyond the era of flying airplanes multiple times and using millet and rifles.

Su Mingjin's gaze swept back and forth, and after seeing the faces of some soldiers, she asked with a smile, "The Butcher Squadron isn't throwing a tantrum, is they?"

The staff officer turned around and saw that it was Commander Su and Brigade Commander Man. He quickly saluted and replied, "Reporting, they are in high spirits!"

"Full of energy?"

Su Mingjin looked at a split screen and saw several fully armed soldiers on guard along the coastline. Their movements were efficient and vigilant, but their eyes kept glancing at the unfathomable Devil's Sea, revealing an irrepressible desire.

"Is he perhaps too eager to make a name for himself and wants to venture deeper into the sea?"

The staff officer who answered Su Mingjin smiled slightly, "That's true, but they also know how dangerous the Devil's Sea is. They've been talking about it lately. They said they didn't get to fight the last time they captured the dwarves, and they're practically rusting from exhaustion. Now that they're tasked with covering the research team nearby, they're more eager than anyone else. They probably crave something to pop out of the sea so they can be the first to fire."

Su Mingjin smiled and nodded: "Yes!"

Seeing that the brigade commander had already taken his seat, she also took hers.

More video information was viewed by everyone.

The pioneering team did a lot of preparation work to explore the Devil's Sea and that forbidden area!

At this moment, the edge of the Devil's Sea and that forbidden coastal area has been specially prepared.

The temporary beachhead has been reinforced, and next to the makeshift dock, several newly poured concrete permanent fortifications stand menacingly.

Further away, radar with strong anti-jamming capabilities and rapid-fire anti-aircraft guns that can be used for both high-altitude and low-altitude operations are pointed diagonally towards the sky, the barrels of multi-barreled Vulcan cannons gleam coldly in the sunlight, and the muzzles of heavy machine guns are firmly locked onto the sea surface.

These firing positions form an ironclad defense line, capable of tearing anything that emerges from the sea or the sky to shreds in an instant.

Further away, in the direction of the Ice River base, communication base stations are transmitting large amounts of data back in real time. Rocket and missile sites have also been adjusted for launch parameters, ready to provide saturation fire coverage to this coastline at any time.

Meanwhile, in the Devil's Sea, a large number of densely packed motor submarines have been deployed and are on standby.

"After studying this for so long, I still don't understand this restricted area at all! I hope this effort will pay off."

Su Mingjin frowned slightly as she looked at the circular area marked by a red dotted line on the screen.

This previously discovered circular forbidden area, with a diameter of 80 kilometers, possesses a level of technology that exceeds the current understanding of human technology.

It spans 45 kilometers across the land in the far north and extends 35 kilometers into the ocean.

Scientists have even speculated that it is the culprit behind the malfunction of human high-altitude aircraft, rockets, various ballistic missiles, and even electronic devices.

Unfortunately, despite the considerable amount of equipment humans have invested in exploration, there has been absolutely no progress in exploring the land within the forbidden area.

Once drones, robotic wolves, search and rescue dogs, and other equipment deployed by humans penetrate more than five kilometers into the restricted area, their signals disappear and the life forms vanish!

Previously, humans used various detection instruments to probe the interior and discovered that all electromagnetic waves, including those from optical instruments, do not reflect energy waves.

This area seemed to have become a black hole, absorbing all energy fluctuations without any reflection.

What's most frustrating is that this position uses some kind of camouflage technique, so from the outside, everything looks normal inside!
"I wonder if this forbidden area can be detected by the new equipment! We must find something useful this time!" Su Mingjin watched the video of the combat personnel and researchers' activities, her heart filled with anticipation.

The digital clock on the wall ticked silently.

When the second and minute hands coincided at the designated position, a staff officer's voice rang out clearly in the command center: "The scheduled time has arrived!"

"Command at the front is being transferred to Brigade Commander Fu," Brigade Commander Man said succinctly.

"Yes!"

The command, transmitted via an encrypted channel, instantly reached the beachhead hundreds of kilometers away.

On the split screen, Brigade Commander Fu, with a stern face, gave a deep order into the communicator: "Start both the speedboats and the decoy speedboats, and begin the operation!"

As soon as the order was given, the quiet temporary dock was filled with all sorts of noise.

A strangely shaped speedboat, its engine emitting a deep roar, spewing out two white jets of water from its stern.

This is a heavily modified vessel, but the features of a Type 022 missile boat are still faintly visible.

Many years ago, this thing was the most feared little assassin in the coastal waters of the earth.

Adopting a catamaran wave-piercing stealth design, it possesses extremely high stealth capabilities. With a full load of 250 tons, it can sail at a speed of 50 knots, or 93 kilometers per hour.

Today, its deadly YJ missiles and close-in weapon systems have long been removed. In their place are drone pylons, a device that can quickly deploy unmanned underwater vehicles, and rows of signal buoys used as decoys.

This steel construct, which technicians jokingly call a target boat, is less a high-speed warship and more a mobile cargo parcel laden with hope and gambles.

Meanwhile, in the nearby sea area spanning more than ten kilometers, hundreds of smaller, remotely controlled unmanned motorboats also began to start up from standby mode.

Although unmanned motorboats are inexpensive to build, they are very useful.

They will make noise and deploy decoy sonar buoys to attract the attention of other sea monsters in the ocean.

The technical soldiers gave them a nickname – “water mosquitoes”.

Mosquitoes exist to disgust various highly aggressive sea monsters in the ocean and reduce the risk of human exploration ships being discovered!
"Activate the water mosquitoes as planned, and turn the sonar decoys to maximum power!"

"Water mosquitoes, swarm, depart! Destination: XXX, coordinates: XXX!"

"Pathfinder One, tethered drone ready, main signal and backup communication link all normal..."

As Brigade Commander Fu issued his orders, the sea surface suddenly became lively.

The first batch of thirty water mosquito boats took the lead in setting off.

They hummed as they sailed into the depths of the Devil's Sea.

Once they reached their designated location, the sonar devices on the bottom of their submarines began emitting sound waves that were inaudible to the human ear but extremely piercing in the deep sea.

The group of territorial sea monsters in the deep ocean was immediately enraged.

Sea monsters and schools of fish swam frantically, determined to attack any enemy that dared to invade the ocean.

The faster, modified missile boat Pathfinder 1 was following them at a leisurely pace, like a calm and collected hunter, letting his hounds disturb the wild animals in the forest.

In the command center, everyone held their breath, staring at the light representing the fleet on the main screen as it slowly sailed toward the restricted area boundary marked by a red dotted line.

"Report! The first wave of water mosquitoes has entered the dangerous waters!"

"Signal normal!"

"Report! We have detected that schools of sea fish and sea monsters in the deep ocean have been provoked and are moving out!"

The water mosquitoes, having stirred up a hornet's nest, continued sailing forward, while the barbed swordfish of the Devil's Sea rapidly approached, attempting to attack these audacious enemies!
At the top of the big screen, a motorboat suddenly shook, then the light representing it disappeared, and the video signal flipped and quickly went black.

Then, more dots of light began to disappear from the screen!
A few minutes later……

"The first batch of water mosquito bait has been completely destroyed. Haha, the luring distance is pretty good, we've gone more than 40 kilometers into the sea! Swordfish and other sea monsters have also been lured there."

"What's the status of Pathfinder One? Has it been attacked?"

Brigade Commander Fu's voice was completely calm, but everyone in the command center could hear the urgency beneath the ice.

"Report: The bait was a success, attracting the attention of a large school of fish. The creatures in the ocean did not attack the ships we deployed."

Seeing the information change on the screen and the Pathfinder 1 video signal being transmitted, everyone breathed a sigh of relief as the surrounding sea was very stable.

"The second wave of water mosquitoes has started sonar harassment mode!"

"Yes!"

Su Mingjin didn't look at the light spot; her gaze was fixed on the swordfish school on the screen, which was beginning to move to other places.

These alien fish and sea monsters are far more aggressive than those on Earth.

I really don't understand why they are so aggressive. Why not just use them as food and medical supplies?

Ground targets are difficult to deal with.

There are so many marine creatures in the sea, it's even more difficult to deal with them!
Headache!

As more water mosquitoes were released, the highly aggressive fish and sea monsters gradually left their territory in the bustling Devil's Sea...

More than ten minutes later...

"Is Pathfinder 1 alright now?" Commander Fu asked.

"Report, the plan to stir up a hornet's nest is going very smoothly!" The relaxed expression on the naval submarine operator's face suddenly changed. "Damn... the sonar detected multiple high-speed targets surfacing from the deep water. How come there are so many sea monsters!"

"Damn it, they're rapidly approaching Pathfinder I."

The main screen immediately switched to underwater sonar imaging of the decoy near Pathfinder 1.

A dense array of red arrows, like a group of sharks drawn by the scent of blood, appeared, closing in from all directions.

"Switch to surface monitoring!"

The scene shifts, and the once calm sea instantly becomes like boiling water.

laugh!
A strange fish, five meters long and entirely silvery, burst out of the water. Its spear-like snout drew a cold light in the air and slammed hard into the side of the bait water mosquito!
After a loud crash, the boat was undamaged, but the terrifying impact sent a chill down the spines of everyone watching on screen.

If a human were hit by this thing, they would probably be smashed right through.

"A swarm of otherworldly iron-headed swordfish?"

Before they could react, an even more horrifying scene unfolded.

"boom!"

A dozen long, slender sea monsters, resembling giant javelins, burst out of the water.

They are over ten meters long, topped with a huge, metallic-looking pointed shell, beneath which dance long, octopus-like tentacles.

"Otherworldly Greathorn Stones, those damned things are here too? How come there are so many of them?"

"The Bighorn Rock must have been hunting swordfish and didn't have time to change direction!"

"Stop talking, accelerate the ships!"

These giant hornfish pose a greater threat than the otherworldly swordfish; the pioneering teams' large numbers of expensive deep-sea submersibles were directly destroyed by these creatures.

The Otherworldly Great Horned Stones are notorious monsters and predators in this sea area. They will attack any enemy they spot, whether underground or on the surface of the sea.

Cephalopods were cephalopods that lived during the Devonian period on Earth. They were enormous, with some recorded to be over 9 meters long. They had straight, conch-like shells and octopus-like tentacles. They were among the largest creatures of the Paleozoic era and were the top marine carnivorous predators of the Devonian period.

This thing has an amazing way of moving. Its body has evolved to consist of a series of air chambers. These air chambers regulate the gas content through body tubes to control buoyancy. It can also spray high-pressure water jets to move quickly in the ocean and attack enemies.

These behemoths are extremely aggressive, with their pointed shells being incredibly hard; they have even managed to pierce through the thin steel of some cheap exploration ships!

"Pathfinder One, evade! Continue evasion!" Brigade Commander Fu made a decisive decision and issued the order, "Don't engage them in close combat, advance at full speed and shake them off!"

"The bait, keep attracting them with the water mosquito bait..."

"We're heading there."

The captain's response was brief and forceful.

After the Pathfinder 1 stirred up a hornet's nest, two even thicker white sprays shot out from the stern of the ship, and the entire speedboat shot forward like an arrow.

The engine roared loudly, and the people in the command center watched patiently.

Those otherworldly giant stones clearly hadn't anticipated that the seafaring creatures were so fast and so durable, surviving so many blows without breaking.

Sensing the approach of other enemies on the water, they immediately adjusted their posture, the water jets at the rear of their bodies suddenly contracted, and they went to attack the decoy.

Only a small number of large horn rocks accelerated, attempting to pursue the Type 022 missile ship.

A thrilling chase at sea ensued.

Pathfinder 1 is very fast.

The large horn rocks in the sea moved very fast, rushing in from the sea. Some of their sharp, hard shells collided with ships, while others grazed the hulls, creating a series of ear-piercing metallic scraping sounds and dazzling sparks.

"These seafood guys are really unreasonable; they attack anything they can get their hands on."

A young technician, watching the scene on the screen, nervously swallowed and managed to crack a joke.

Su Mingjin watched silently.

"Speedboats don't have any offensive weapons. If their propellers are damaged by these highly aggressive seafood, they will only be destroyed!"
Fortunately, the power of technology was clearly demonstrated at this moment. With the terrifying speed of the modified Type 022 missile boat and the interference of some water mosquito bait, the marine creatures that relied on primitive jet propulsion eventually changed their targets after realizing they could not attack their prey.

After destroying the water mosquito motorboat, they were thrown further and further away and eventually sank back into the ocean unwillingly!
Inside the command center, amidst a chorus of suppressed breathing, someone finally let out a long sigh.

"Report: We have broken free from the entanglement and are approaching the designated coordinates."
