Conan Rick's Investigator

The remaining guard widened his eyes in shock as he saw that his companion's attack not only failed to work but was even knocked away in an exaggerated manner.

But the next second, fear flooded his pupils.

The Deep Diver's ugly appearance was intimidating to those with average willpower, and when his companions were easily defeated, the guard became even more desperate.

At this moment, Vermouth behind suddenly shouted.

"Hey! Throw me the key to the handcuffs!"

One of Vermouth's hands was handcuffed to the iron railing at the edge of the bed, and her white hospital gown was a little loose.

While urging the guard to throw the key, she stared nervously at the deep diver who was getting closer and closer.

She had seen specimens of this kind of marine creature in the organization's base before, so she recognized what it was.

But this was also the first time she had seen a living deep diver.

Not to mention so many...

The guard struggled internally for a moment, but decided to throw the key to Vermouth.

Vermouth, who was lying on the hospital bed, took the key, swiftly undid the cuffs on her wrists, then grabbed the infusion stand next to her and stabbed the nearest diver in the eyes.

The Deep Diver's reaction was not quick, and he was easily stabbed by the metal head of the infusion stand. His huge eyeballs spewed out smelly gray juice.

Under the stimulation of severe pain, the Deep Diver let out a sharp and piercing roar from his throat.

"Its weak spot is its eyes!"

Vermouth pulled out the infusion stand and was about to poke the next deep diver's eye, but she used too much force and the wound on her shoulder suddenly burst open.

The sudden pain caused Vermouth to pause for a moment.

It was this moment of pause that gave the deep diver in front the opportunity to pounce on Vermouth.

Vermouth quickly placed the infusion stand across her face to block the attack, but was still knocked down by the Deep Diver and pinned to the ground.

The two rows of fangs protruding from the lips bit together like a wild beast, making a crisp "click" sound, and mechanically repeating the action of biting the prey into pieces that was written into the instinct.

Just like a hungry piranha facing the fresh meat placed in front of it.

If it weren't for the infusion stand in Vermouth's hand that propped up the upper body of the Deep Diver, his head would have been bitten into several pieces.

That twisted, ugly mouth exuded a suffocating stench, and the constantly trembling "crystal pendant" almost dripped onto Vermouth's beautiful face.

But Vermouth had no time to care about these things now, because her arms were gradually losing strength and slowly began to be unable to resist the fangs that were gradually pressing down in front of her.

Click, click, click…

The Deep One's huge mouth of the abyss was like a ruthless cutting machine on an assembly line, slowly approaching Vermouth.

The first thing you come into contact with is the tip of the nose.

Even though Vermouth used all her strength, she couldn't resist.

Just when she was about to accept her fate, the head in front of her suddenly paused, and the speed at which its fangs opened and closed slowed down.

The next moment, the entire ugly fish head was blown away like a golf ball.

Vermouth's body suddenly relaxed, but the next second, the headless Deep One was completely on top of her again.

However, Vermouth did not care about the stench of this creature, but stared at the man in front of her.

Qin Zhibo...

Or Michael?

Vermouth couldn't tell the difference for a moment.

"Are you okay?"

Qin Zhibo bent down, pushed away the headless body of the Deep Diver, and pulled Vermouth up from the ground.

Chapter 1497 Eve of Dawn

When Vermouth stood up from the ground, she was surprised to find that several other deep divers in the ward were dead.

These ugly monsters all had exaggeratedly large cuts on their bodies.

It is obvious that the weapon that caused these wounds was the equally exaggerated "big sword" in Qin Zhibo's hand.

"Can you still move?"

"Let's rush out together..."

Qin Zhibo didn't give Vermouth time to respond and walked straight to the ward door.

Looking out through the glass, more deep divers appeared in the corridor at this time.

The appearance of these monsters filled the entire base with a foul smell of dead fish.

Qin Zhibo first confirmed the shortest route back to the main control room in his mind, and then kicked open the door of the ward.

"Follow me!"

These words were said to the two medical staff, two guards and Vermouth behind.

One of the guards had just been hit hard by a deep diver and was unable to move. He could only move with two medical staff holding his arms.

In this way, a formation was formed with Qin Zhibo as the vanguard, clearing the deep divers on the road ahead, and Vermouth and the guards as the left and right flanks, ready to respond to any deep divers falling from the holes in the ceiling at any time.

The group fought their way through the levels, killed about ten deep divers, and finally returned to the main control room.

As soon as she entered the main control room, Vermouth was handcuffed again.

Qin Zhibo also learned about the current situation of the base through surveillance.

Now, except for the fact that the invasion situation in Area B has been somewhat alleviated, there are still many deep divers attacking humans in the other two areas.

Among them, Area A, which was in charge of Heibei Kuroda and Tsutomu Akai, was the most seriously affected.

Because Area A is the living and leisure area closest to the upper level, it is also the area with the largest number of people.

In the surveillance footage, Kuroda Heibei and Akai Mutake, one holding a shield and the other holding a fork, worked together skillfully to force the deep diver back so that the staff behind them could pass safely.

Although the ventilation ducts in the base are interconnected, in terms of probability, the closer you are to the lower levels of the base, the lower the probability of deep divers appearing.

So now we can only transfer as many people as possible to the lower levels.

In this process, collisions with deep divers are inevitable, resulting in casualties.

"I'll go support them!"

Qin Zhibo turned around and was about to leave the main control room when the engineer from India suddenly made a shocked sound.

"Look at the sea!"

"Oh my god, how could this happen..."

Director Makino and Qin Zhibo hurried to his computer screen and saw a shocking scene.

I saw countless black heads gathered on the surging sea surface, climbing up the platform on the sea continuously.

According to rough estimates, there are thousands of deep divers!

Such a magnificent scene could not help but send a chill down the spine of everyone in the control room.

If all these deep divers were allowed to invade the base, the people inside the base would not be able to resist them at all!

Seeing this scene, Director Makino also became anxious and immediately contacted Furukaya Rei and others on the side of the submarine.

Just when the deep divers were discovered, except for Qin Zhibo and others who went out to support the people outside, Furuya Rei, Mizunashi Rena, and Curacao put on diving suits and set out from the sea and returned to the submarine to get weapons.

The organization's submarine is a small arsenal, and there are definitely enough weapons of all kinds.

But now the number of deep divers on the sea surface is no longer something that can be dealt with by just three people with weapons.

What's more, there is a storm on the sea now, and it is very difficult for a submarine to approach the offshore platform from the sea surface.

Director Makino explained the current situation to Furuya Rei in the submarine.

And Rei Furuya was also observing the sea surface through the sea telescope.

It was a little after 3 a.m., just before dawn.

Through the yellow-green night vision goggles, one can see densely packed divers gathering on the dark sea.

They seemed to become even more excited than before, jumping on all fours in a disorderly manner, and then one after another jumped into the huge hole in the central square, as if they were performing a mysterious and ancient ritual.

In this situation, even if the submarine is brought closer, it will be difficult to land on the stormy sea.

Moreover, a large number of deep divers are still lurking on the sea surface.

But the situation is now very critical. If these deep divers are allowed to drill into the base, the entire Pacific buoy will be completely destroyed.

After sorting out the current situation, Furuya Rei's expression was solemn. He then turned to look at Mizunoshi Rena and Curacao who were operating the submarine.

The only solution he could think of now was to use this submarine as bait to lure away as many deep divers as possible.

But if this happens, the three of them might be in great danger.

Because if the hatch is closed and used as bait, the deep diver will definitely not be interested in a large iron shell.

Rena Mizunashi and Curacao also saw what Rei Furuya was thinking from his firm and resolute eyes.

The three of them looked at each other, and then, Rena Mizunashi and Curacao nodded slightly, silently agreeing with Furuya Rei's plan.

All three of them are top talents in their respective organizations, and they are willing to sacrifice for the mission.

What’s more, the lives of more than 400 people on the Pacific buoy are at stake.

Just when Rei Furuya was about to tell the other side of his plan via the radio, Naomi in the main control room suddenly thought of an idea.

"We can harness the power of the waves!"

"What do you mean? Naomi, explain it clearly..." Makino asked hurriedly.

"Is such that……"

After Naomi's explanation, everyone understood her plan.

That is to use the rise and fall of the central square of the offshore platform to control the power of the waves and delay the time for deep divers to enter the breathing duct.

Because the ventilation pipe will also change position with the rise and fall of the offshore platform, and the seawater is stirred by the lifting platform, even deep divers cannot control the direction in the water, so it is not easy to drill into the pipe opening.

After hearing this, Director Makino immediately agreed to the plan.

As the motor started, the huge offshore platform slowly rose from the sunken hole.

Countless deep divers who were diving in through the breathing holes were blown away by the sudden and violent change in the water flow, like small fish fry being swept away by a scoop net, and they had no control over their bodies at all.

Taking advantage of this time, Qin Zhibo immediately set off for Area A to provide support.

……

On the other side, in the lounge of Area A, Kuroda Heibei and Akai Tsutomu were escorting a large group of staff to the passage leading to the lower area.

During this process, Akai Mary and Akai Shuichi, who had already resolved the situation in Area C, also came to support.

Area C is the lowest office area, so the number of intruders is the least, with only four seen in the initial surveillance.

Although rubber bullets have limited lethality against deep divers, they can still cause huge damage as long as they hit vulnerable parts.

Such as eyes.

Shuichi Akai and Mary Akai shot one by one, aiming specifically at the Deep Diver's eyes.

Pfft!

In an instant, a large amount of pus burst out of the bulging eyeballs of the two deep divers.

Chapter 1498 Desperate Situation

The Deep Diver whose eyes had been exploded let out a sharp roar, scaring all the staff members so much that they stood there in shock, staring in horror at the constantly twisting fish-man monster.

"Come on!"

Akai Mary shouted coldly, which made everyone come back to their senses and continue to move forward.

But at this moment, at the exit of the lounge, several deep divers fell from the ceiling of the corridor, blocking everyone's way out.
