Live stream: Bragging to an orca, exposed by netizens

The man's tone on the other end of the phone changed; it sounded somewhat strange.

"What are those?" he repeated Shen Fei's question, as if talking to himself, "Those are its children, its people, its army..."

"A sleeper that even nuclear bombs cannot disturb."

"Now, you have awakened their king."

The man's voice even carried a hint of amusement.

Shen Fei stopped wasting words with him.

He hung up the phone immediately.

The red satellite phone in his hand was no longer useful.

That person at the top, in the face of disaster, was no different from the group of directors slumped in their chairs in the meeting room.

"Hannah".

Shen Fei's voice sounded abnormally fast.

"To analyze these new signals, I need to know their energy levels, spectrum, and correlation with the host."

"Analyzing!" Hannah spoke so fast she almost bit her tongue. "Initial scans show their energy levels are much lower than Leviathan's, only about one-hundredth to one-thousandth. However, their signal frequencies resonate with Leviathan's calling signal. They are... rejoining the ranks!"

Returning to the team.

This word made Shen Fei's pupils contract again.

This is an army that has been awakened.

"They're moving!" Hannah's voice rose again. "They're moving in the same direction, their target... is the location of the Lord Leviathan! They're coming up from the abyss, and they're moving very fast!"

On the screen, hundreds of small red dots form an array and move upwards in an orderly fashion.

The scene has a sense of order that is almost suffocating.

Shen Fei's brain was working at high speed.

One Leviathan could threaten the entire Pacific Rim.

What about a hundred?

No.

This is a civilization.

An ancient civilization sleeping beneath a 10,000-meter-deep abyss.

All his previous plans seemed ridiculous at this moment.

Control it?

To own it?

A single person trying to control an entire civilization?

"David".

Shenfei connected to another line.

"Boss! I'm here!" David's voice still sounded excited; he was clearly unaware of what was happening here.

"Stop the acquisition negotiations with Ivan Corporation."

"What?" David was stunned. "Boss, we've offered a price he can't possibly refuse..."

"Now, listen to my new order," Shen Fei interrupted him. "In the name of SHIELD risks, issue a global bounty."

What are the details of the bounty?

"Everything. I want all the information—about unknown civilizations in the deep sea, prehistoric super-intelligent beings, or subterranean races. Myths and legends, archaeological discoveries, classified files, even fabricated conspiracy theories—I want it all."

"I want everyone in the world who studies these things, whether they are scientists or what others consider crazy liars, to sell their data to me."

"Use money to dig out all the secrets of the abyss on this planet."

David was silent for a few seconds.

He sensed something was wrong.

"Boss... what happened?"

"Yes," Shen Fei said, "the end of the world may be coming sooner than expected. So, let's hurry."

He hung up the call, not giving David a chance to ask any more questions.

His gaze returned to the screen.

The array of red dots has risen more than a thousand meters and is getting closer to the main Leviathan.

Kyle.

Shen Fei pressed the internal communication button.

"Boss." Kyle's voice came from the next lounge.

Is William von Bethune with you?

"exist."

Give him the communicator.

After a brief commotion, William von's voice came through, old and trembling.

"Mr. Shen..."

"Did your research materials mention... these things?" Shen Fei asked.

"No... never..." Wilhelm von's voice trembled. "All our probes could only reach a depth of 11,000 meters at most. We always thought that was the limit, that there was only one God there..."

"You are wrong."

Shen Fei's voice was very calm.

"You've only found a sleeping watchdog at God's feet."

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

"Noah, current location." Shen Fei switched back to Hannah's channel.

"We've descended to a depth of 5,000 meters and are hovering at the target coordinates," Hannah replied. "We're hovering above them now, and they're charging at us."

"Very good," Shen Fei said. "It's bait."

"What?"

"Turn Noah's external lighting system to maximum power and conduct an active pulse scan of those things using the highest level of sonar."

Hannah gasped.

"This will enrage them! The Noah will be torn to shreds!"

"That's exactly what I want to see—their reaction," Shen Fei said. "I want to see how this army responds when faced with provocation."

"Is this... a test using a submarine worth 30 billion US dollars?"

"No," Shen Fei said. "I'm using all of Poseidon Industries' assets to buy a ticket to a new world."

Hannah remained silent.

A few seconds later, she replied, "Execute command. Active pulse scan, prepare for release."

The main screen switches to the external view of the Noah.

In the darkness, the Noah's searchlights simultaneously turned on, illuminating the surroundings.

Then, an invisible sonic pulse swept towards the rising red dot below.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

On the screen, hundreds of red dots stopped simultaneously the instant they came into contact with the sonar pulse.

They hovered at a depth of eight thousand meters, motionless.

They stopped, without any energy fluctuations.

"They... stopped?" Hannah's voice sounded confused.

"Not only that." Shen Fei's gaze was fixed on the changes in the red dots on the screen. "They are... changing shape."

The array on the screen began to change.

The small red dots quickly regrouped and formed a huge circle in a very short time.

At the center of this circular array, there is nothing.

There, directly above, was the lone, brightly lit Noah.

That was a ceremony.

A welcoming formation.

They are waiting for it to pass.

Shen Fei and Hannah could not understand what was happening before their eyes.

The main Leviathan, which had been stationary at a depth of seven thousand meters, suddenly made a move.

It slowly turned around.

Hannah pulled up the images from the Noah probe.

In the dark depths of the sea, that enormous pupil was aimed at a man-made object for the first time.

It spotted the Noah.

then.

An ultra-high bandwidth signal was emitted from the main Leviathan, locking onto the Noah.

That was a message.

A massive data stream containing images, sounds, and unknown codes.

The server alarms in front of Hannah went off incessantly.

"Data stream! It's...uploading! It's uploading information to us!"

Hannah's voice changed.

"I can't stop it! Its data transmission efficiency exceeds the limit of our computing power!"

"What is it saying?" Shen Fei pressed.

"I don't know! Deciphering takes time!"

Hannah typed rapidly on the keyboard, trying to extract some useful information from the data stream.

at last.

Amidst the jumbled text, she spotted a word that kept repeating itself.

That is not any known language.

But its meaning was imprinted directly in Hannah's mind in some unknown way.

She looked up, her face pale, at Shen Fei on the screen.

"It...it's asking..."

"It's asking us..."

"Where is the key?"
