Chapter 483 - 483 Failed Capture
483 Failed Capture
As the troops quickly responded to the command points nearby and activated the nuclear submarines, they quietly moved from the depths of the sea.
Seeing that the two sea monsters were about to be trapped by the dense submarine formation, they did not notice the danger that was quietly approaching.
The monsters continued to display their unique abilities and launched a fierce attack on the bustling port city.
The defense network on land could no longer withstand this destructive force, and it was forced to retreat.
The commander was shocked. It was originally just a battle with the Omni-dwelling Demon Spider, but he did not expect the terrifying creature to evolve.
The Omni-dwelling Demon Spider’s defense became even stronger, and its giant tree-like barbs became even more ferocious and terrifying. They could even explode the moment they shot out, and their power was astonishing.
The submarine formation was dispatched to launch long-range high-speed torpedoes and conventional torpedoes. The cruisers also quickly coordinated and fired their electromagnetic cannons at full power.
It was as if doomsday had arrived. The terrifying firepower shrouded the two giant beasts.
The giant spider monster struggled in the sea of fire and fled into the depths of the sea as it shrieked.
The nuclear submarine was in hot pursuit, but the monster had a unique way of utilizing propulsion force in the sea water, and it was about to disappear from sight.
The Sea Monster King did not escape like the Omni-dwelling Demon Spider. Instead, it chose to take the firepower head-on.
The old chief, Wu Mo, and the others widened their eyes. Their hearts were filled with nervousness and antic.i.p.ation.
These sea monsters that were given code names were like invincible bosses in a science fiction game. If they could capture one, it would be of great benefit to their future research.
The old chief attached great importance to this operation. He personally went to the front line, and he was only three kilometers away from the Sea Monster King.
Wu Mo followed closely and paid close attention to the Sea Monster King’s every move.
There were also many biologists and paleontologists present.
News reporters quickly rushed to the scene to report on this magnificent capture operation.
Everyone seemed to feel that this operation had a chance of success when it came to capturing the Sea Monster King.
If they could subdue this monster, it would undoubtedly greatly boost the morale of the people!
After all, human society had been frequently attacked by these terrifying sea monsters as of late. This had brought endless pressure and panic to the public.
A victory now would bring great relief and allow people to regain their confidence!
However, the Sea Monster King’s intelligence was truly astonishing. When it realized that it had fallen into a trap, its eyes widened.
In the end, it still launched a fierce resistance!
Right then, an inescapable net had already been set up. The old chief, a few officers, Wu Mo, and the others were all watching the battle with bated breath.
Yet, under such a tight net of fire, the Sea Monster King still managed to escape.
This could only mean one thing: Mankind’s current armed forces could no longer contend against these sea monsters!
The spider sea monster in the distance had already fled far away. It wailed again and again as if it felt sympathy for its companion.
Trapped by the terrifying web of firepower, the Sea Monster King’s body was covered in dense wounds.
However, it still clenched its claws, which had evolved to resemble a human’s palm, and slammed it hard into the ground!
Boom!
At this moment, a large part of the coastal foundation sank into the sea.
However, the Sea Monster King did not give up. It kept swinging its fists because it was trying to smash the reinforcements that were rushing over.
“This does not look good. Hurry up and cover fire. Its starting to go berserk!”
The commander at the front immediately realized that something was wrong.
Right then, he had to use firepower to repel the monster. Otherwise, when it got close, it would cause irreparable losses even if he killed it.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The cannon fire was like a furious thunderbolt as it bombarded the Sea Monster King’s body.
Its huge body was trembling in pain under the brutal artillery fire, but it still moved forward with firm steps albeit with great difficulty.
Although it was slow, the Sea Monster King had never given up on its attempt to defeat the humans.
At this moment of life and death, the Sea Monster King endured endless pain and tried to approach the coastal area.
Every step left a b.l.o.o.d.y wound on its huge body.
However, just when things reached a fever pitch, a jaw-dropping scene unfolded!
A look of mockery flashed across the Sea Monster King’s eyes.
Immediately after, the thin membrane that had seemingly dried up on its body rolled up in the wind and ruthlessly enveoped the forces at the forefront!
“D*mn it! This monster has such a special skill? Those in front, cover us!”
The officer in the command center instantly realized the danger and issued an emergency order.
The high-compound missile carrier quickly retreated and tried to avoid the beast’s terrifying attack.
The huge membrane covered the entire battlefield as if darkness had descended.
Some of the soldiers could no longer tolerate it, and their hearts were filled with hatred for the sea monster. They wanted nothing more than to charge up and fight it to the death.
However, their impulsive actions were stopped in time, because they would pay a painful price if they fought the sea monster in close combat.
“Chief, why don’t we let this monster go and kill it with a nuclear bomb when it reaches the deep sea? How about that?” Wu Mo suggested thoughtfully.
Everyone’s eyes instantly lit up when they heard his proposal.
The old chief nodded but frowned soon after. He could not help but worry. If the Sea Monster King escaped and used the advantage of the deep sea to disappear, what should he do?
Wu Mo was also well aware of this problem. At this point, he did not know how to deal with it either.
“Let’s use the high-compound missile to kill it first!”
The old chief did not hesitate to give such serious orders.
Amid the sound of blaring horns, the high-compound missile pierced the sky like an arrow, and the submarine formation also opened fire.
The Sea Monster King finally couldn’t take it anymore, and it let out a series of mournful wails!
At this moment, the Sea Monster King was like an injured beast. It did not care about the injuries on its body as it tried its best to escape into the deep sea.
Its body rapidly underwent a strange transformation as it turned from a humanoid into a strange creature similar to a pangolin.
Wu Mo stared at the screen and watched its entire transformation process in shock.
He thought to himself, ‘It can actually transform like this? This is simply unheard of. It’s like something out of a movie!”
After it transformed into its “pangolin form,” the Sea Monster King’s movement speed suddenly increased.
It cleverly hid its body in the depths of the sea and navigated the current like a submarine.
“Bad news. Its moving faster and faster. We have to make a prompt decision!”
The commander at the front nervously ordered the high-compound missile and nuclear submarine to lock on to the target and chase after it.
The blue-light lock-on device was accurate. Soon, a highly complex missile carrying an excessive amount of ammunition pierced through the sea and sank hundreds of meters deep!
Boom!
With a loud bang, the sea surged, and blood and limbs shot to the surface of the water.
Everyone held their breaths and focused on the scene on the screen.
It was a claw that was nearly a hundred meters long. Its surface was covered in scales, and it was badly mutilated, hence it looked horrifying.
The Sea Monster King then disappeared after a loud roar!
“D*mn it! It still escaped, but I destroyed one of its claws!”
