Mobile Shelter

After defeating the giant mutated marine creature hidden beneath the surface, the ship enjoyed a short rest.

It was at this time that the Great Xia side confirmed that the small mutated marine creatures that invaded the land and attacked humans were all controlled by these deeply hidden large mutated marine creatures.

However, even though they now know the real mastermind, Great Xia can only maintain a defensive counterattack and is completely powerless to organize a decapitation operation.

After all, due to the EMP, a large number of ships were paralyzed and unable to move, and those giant mutated marine creatures would only surface to the shallow waters during the time when they were controlling those smaller mutated marine creatures to attack.

Most of the time, they stayed obediently in the deep sea area, making it difficult for the Great Xia to find a specific target if they wanted to carry out a decapitation plan.

More importantly, the paralysis of a large number of submarines has resulted in not only Great Xia, but also other countries having essentially lost their underwater combat capabilities.

Even if some awakened individuals gain the ability to fight underwater, their individual combat power has not yet increased to the point of being able to ignore the sheer number of enemies when faced with the endless number of marine creatures on the seabed.

Therefore, at this stage, when facing those mutated marine creatures, humanity can only passively defend itself.

And most importantly, even a country like the Great Xia could not maintain such a steadfast stance for long.

Sometimes I really envy that country that was on horseback, protected by the Great Xia and the Russian bear. Their navy never had to face such a brutal battle.

Perhaps because they had swiftly and decisively killed two giant mutated sea creatures last time, the giant mutated sea creatures did not approach the ship again during the subsequent voyage, even though they were still attacked from time to time by those smaller mutated sea creatures.

The ships dispatched for this escort mission were certainly not just the one Dong Qi was on.

After boarding the ship, perhaps because he was already on a mission and unable to leave, or perhaps because they had shared the previous battle, Shao Kai no longer concealed the specific details of this mission.

Dong Qi learned from Shao Kai that there were a total of ten ships on this escort mission, and these ten ships were all the ships in the Great Xia that were currently able to sail out normally.

Although the Great Xia Dynasty was still repairing the paralyzed ships, due to some special reasons, the awakened individuals with repair abilities were leaving one after another.

Shao Kai learned through rumors that the Great Xia would only repair a maximum of two more ships and would stop repairing the disabled ships.

If the number of ships to be repaired that Dong Qi heard from Shao Kai was a vague figure like "a few," he might have had some doubts about the reliability of the information. However, after learning that the specific number was only two, Dong Qi knew that the information was more likely to be true.

The ten ships dispatched this time were not escorting the same target. For example, the ship Dong Qi was on was a 20,000-ton frigate.

Although theoretically, an aircraft carrier should be the strongest combat unit at sea.

However, the main combat method of an aircraft carrier still relies on the fighter jets it carries. In terms of its own combat power, the frigate is actually stronger.

Unlike other escort missions that involve sailing in groups, the frigate Dong Qi was on was out on its own to carry out a rendezvous mission.

However, having experienced the previous battle, the frigate's specific combat capabilities when facing mutated marine life were also tested.

Because of the occasional disturbances caused by mutated marine life, a journey that normally takes three or four days has now taken four days since we left the shore, and we are only halfway through the voyage.

However, this mission was a rendezvous mission, and there was no need to reach the island nation. The other ship had already set off in advance, and according to common sense, if the route was correct, they should have met the other ship long ago.

However, perhaps because they might be attacked by mutated marine creatures while sailing at sea, they still hadn't encountered the other ship. Although the people on board were a little puzzled, they didn't pay too much attention to it.

The frequent battles these past few days, although we had prepared enough manpower before setting out, and all the personnel involved in the battles were deployed in shifts according to plan.

However, due to the intense fighting over the past few days, the frontline combat personnel on board have become extremely exhausted in just a few days.

At this point, most of the people on the ship had forgotten their original mission due to the intense fighting, and all they could think about was how to get more rest after the battle.

However, since all the battles were fought with firearms after setting sail, the casualties on the ship were not actually serious despite the many battles that took place.

Not only were there no fatalities, but even the wounded were not injured during the battle. Instead, they were attacked by mutated marine creatures that had survived the battle while the deck was being cleaned after the battle.

After another day of arduous sailing, they finally spotted other ships on the radar, but no matter how they tried to contact them, they received no response.

Faced with this situation, the captain thought for a moment and then decided to go directly to the target area to see the situation there with his own eyes.

After all, we had been at sea for so long, and this was the first ship we had encountered.

When the warships got closer to the enemy, they discovered that the enemy ship was being attacked by mutated marine creatures, and that the small mutated marine creatures had already occupied the deck area.

If it weren't for the frequent gunshots coming from inside the ship, they might have thought that the enemy had failed and that the ship had been captured and occupied by mutated marine creatures.

Faced with this situation, the captain hesitated as he looked at the several giant sea creatures scanned by the radar.

Based on the amount of ammunition carried on board, it would be more than enough to kill those giant sea creatures. However, if missiles were used to kill them, there wouldn't be many missiles left on board by the end of the battle.

Let alone continuing to complete the rendezvous mission, even the return flight could face a shortage of ammunition if any unexpected events occur.

If the enemy ship is the target of this rendezvous mission, the ammunition consumed is used up but not essential. However, if the enemy ship is not the target, the ammunition consumed in the battle may very well lead to the failure of this mission.

Just as the captain was struggling with his decision, perhaps the crew of the other ship spotted their vessel.

So although they did not use communication equipment to contact them, they communicated with them using the most primitive method of using sea flags at the highest point of the ship's roof.
