Chapter 609 Two-Party Gunfight, and Cleaned Up by a Monster
With practically none of the unknown special force left on the s.h.i.+p, the battle was coming to an end.
Beneath the surface, the battle had entered the most heated stage.
At that moment, the red zone was no longer just because of that unknown red liquid, but more than that, was filled with the remains of various fish.
Two great white sharks that had arrived not long ago were now being dismembered by two large and three small killer whales.
While they usually didn’t eat their opponents after killing them, these killer whales were devouring the two dead great white sharks like crazy, along with the fish in the sharks’ bellies.
Suddenly, a thick shadow surged up from the bottom of the ocean and instantly wrapped around one of the bigger killer whales.
Instantly on the alert, the other killer whales turned and lunged at the shadow.
The next moment, an all-encompa.s.sing shadow shot out from the depths of the ocean and instantly wrapped around all the killer whales. Blood spread out in the water.
In the b.l.o.o.d.y water, two dark blue eyes flickered for a moment, as if searching for something
At that moment on the s.h.i.+p, Luke wrinkled his nose.
There was the thick smell of blood in the air, which didn’t belong to humans, but to fish.
What was going on?
He looked in the direction of the smell, which was where the hostiles’ evacuation boats were.
The battle on the s.h.i.+p was over. The twenty special force soldiers were all dead. The hostiles’ advantage in numbers was too clear. At the price of forty to fifty casualties, they finally eliminated the troublesome special force.
At that moment, they were treating their wounded comrades and moving them to their own boats.
Suddenly, there was a deafening rumble, followed by yelling from the hostiles’ boats.
Luke was astounded as he watched a ma.s.sive shadow wrap around one of the boats and drag it into the ocean.
He mumbled to himself, “Are you kidding
me?”
That was a boat more than twenty meters long, but it disappeared from the surface of the ocean in less than thirty seconds. That was unbelievable.
However, that was just the beginning.
After the first s.h.i.+p sank, the rest of the boats were dragged into the ocean one after another, all in less than five minutes.
On the cruise s.h.i.+p, only several leaders and about fifty of the hostiles were left. They were also overwhelmed by this sudden mishap.
They didn’t know what to attack. Down below were their boats. Before the shadow attacked first, they would only hit their teammates if they opened fire.
When the shadow attacked, a boat would sink in ten to twenty seconds, and they hit the boat more often than they hit the shadow. But this attacker didn’t give the criminals much time to think.
After the boats sank, five in total, the surface of the ocean aftside suddenly rippled violently, as if something was moving underneath.
A moment later, seven to eight shadows, each more than half a meter in diameter, broke through the surface and swiftly climbed up the rear of the s.h.i.+p, reaching the deck a dozen of seconds later.
Panicked, the hostiles didn’t need to be ordered to run. At the same time, they fired like crazy at the shadows.
Disgusting starchy liquid burst out of the shadows, but they just writhed for a moment before simply chasing after the hostiles again.
As the shadows started to hunt down the hostiles, Luke sized up the last batch of milk cans on the deck and wondered: Now what can I do with these cans?
The hostiles were very careful when moving the milk cans, but they weren’t afraid. Their leaders were the same.
So, the unknown substance probably wasn’t dangerous, but was valuable?
Luke finally moved.
From the shadows on the other side, he stealthily approached the aft deck, then abruptly dashed out.
In less than two seconds, he reached the last batch of milk cans and bundled them together with a rope he had already prepared.
Like a quick snake, the cans of unknown substance were tied together. Heaving them onto his back, he went around two sweeping tentacles and slipped away.
The whole process took less than ten seconds.
A criminal head who was running away suddenly sensed someone dart past and overtake him to disappear into a pa.s.sage not far away.
He was dazed for a moment.
Because it looked like that person was carrying a bunch of milk cans, the important goods that the criminal head had been ordered to take back.
At that moment, something tightened around his waist, and his heart instantly jolted. He turned his head despairingly, only to see the sharp tip of an enormous shadow about to envelop him. “No…” With a short scream, the criminal head disappeared forever from the s.h.i.+p.
In less than five minutes, the hostiles, including their leaders, were killed by the seven to eight black shadows.
The frightening thing was that the black shadows swallowed up most of the hostiles without leaving any bodies behind.
Hiding in the pa.s.sage, Luke instantly stored the cans of unknown substance which he had looted into his inventory. He looked out, only to see that there were barely any hostiles left.
What was even more frightening was that the thick black shadows were still getting bigger.
Luke’s sight and Mental Strength were far better than a regular person’s. After being a detective for so long, he was also especially sensitive about details.
These black shadows had only been half a meter in diameter when they first appeared, but they were now more than a meter in diameter.
From where he had been watching at the top of the s.h.i.+p the entire time, he could perceive the speed of this change even more.
However, it didn’t really matter to him whether they were half a meter or two meters in diameter.
Tangled up in these thick, black shadows, the rear of the s.h.i.+p was slowly sinking. Luke watched indifferently as the black shadows slithered around on the deck and tossed some things aside.
It would be best if this fellow just left. That way, he wouldn’t need to take action.
Thinking that, Luke glanced into the night sky at the helicopter that had just returned.
The black shadows searched the deck for a moment and didn’t seem to find what they wanted. Finally, they changed course and moved toward the s.h.i.+p’s hold.
Luke glanced at the helicopter again, which finally moved.
The six-barreled machine gun opened fire again and strafed the enormous black shadows. Starchy liquid burst out of the black shadows as they waved about frenetically.
Unmoved, the helicopter kept firing.
It seemed that the black shadows were unable to withstand the attack, and they quickly retreated from the deck back into the ocean.
The helicopter went around the s.h.i.+p and turned the searchlights on the water to look for the black shadows.
At that moment, it started to drizzle, and soon turned into a downpour.
Standing silently next to the rail on the top floor, Luke stared at the surging ocean.
A storm was coming.
In the middle of the rain, the helicopter descended after making two rounds. Several ropes were dropped from the chopper, and four special force soldiers began to rappel down.
Luke was a little intrigued.
This special force had just lost a huge number of men. They weren’t even sure if that monster was gone yet, but they were already coming down to check the situation on the s.h.i.+p.
Clearly, the hostiles and the special force were all here for the unknown substance and weren’t willing to give it up, despite how extremely dangerous it was.
