Li Jiajia cried and lowered her head to blame herself.
"Ma Tao! Don't lose your temper. We still haven't figured out what happened. It may not be Jiajia's fault!"
Jiang Feng held Li Jiajia's hand and comforted her to calm down.
"Sister Feng is right, you really can't blame the captain for this matter."
Hao Le felt annoyed and blamed himself, and slapped himself on the head hard.
"If I hadn't voted in favor, things wouldn't have turned out like this. If you want to blame, just blame me."
Huang Hansheng raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of anger.
"Lele! If you take other people's mistakes on yourself, others will not appreciate you and will only laugh at you for being stupid!"
Gao Fei heard something in his words and asked in a deep voice: "Hansheng, what is going on?"
"Brother Fei! We found that mysterious mutant monster in the underground reservoir. The captain wanted to ask for help from you immediately, but was stopped by others!"
Having said this, Huang Hansheng glared at Zhou Guanqun fiercely.
"Zhou Guanqun didn't let the captain send a letter asking for help. The reason is that if your 05 team comes, the credit for hunting monsters will be recorded on your heads, and the triple experience point reward for reporting this new species will also be taken away by you. We
Team 12 worked in vain, and in the end gained nothing."
"Just because he didn't want to give away the reward he was about to receive, he had a fierce argument with the captain. Finally, under the banner of so-called democratic voting, he prevented the captain from exercising the final decision-making power. As a result, his cleverness was mistaken for his cleverness, and Gangzi was injured and retired!
"
At Zhou Guanqun's initiative, all six members of Team 12 voted on whether to seek help from Team 05.
Li Jiajia and Huang Hansheng agreed to seek help.
Zhou Guanqun and Cai Wei objected.
Xu Zhigang abstained from voting.
Hao Le, the last one to waver, was persuaded by Cai Wei and voted in favor.
Three votes to two. Faced with this result, Li Jiajia had no choice but to accept the opinions of the majority no matter how reluctant he was. He led Team 05 to hunt the mysterious water monster on his own, but suffered a disastrous defeat.
"At this critical moment, thanks to the captain, he turned into a dragon and breathed fire, drove away the water monster, and rescued us... Otherwise, our fate would have been worse than Brother Gang." Hao Le couldn't help but choked.
Gao Fei nodded and turned to look at Zhou Guanqun.
As if aware of the coldness in his eyes, Zhou Guanqun's face turned blue and white, gritting his teeth and remaining silent.
Cai Wei noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere and broke the silence with a dry smile.
"Huang Hansheng, Xiao Zhou did make the mistake of being impulsive and rash, but it would be too much for you to put all the blame on him."
"Xiao Zhou is young and energetic, but after all, he is just a newcomer in the team. Whether or not to accept the suggestions put forward should be made by the captain."
"If the captain is determined enough to ignore Xiao Zhou's suggestion and send a letter to the seniors of Team 05 asking for help, can Xiao Zhou still stop her?"
"Cai Wei! Stop farting!"
Huang Hansheng couldn't help but get angry when he heard her roundabout way of shirk responsibility on Li Jiajia.
"If the captain insists on her opinion, why don't you and Zhou Guanqun blame her for acting arbitrarily, giving away the rewards she received to others, and turning her elbows outward? I have already seen through your little calculations!"
"Huang Hansheng, why don't you spit on others!"
Cai Wei opened her eyes in anger.
"Stop arguing!" Wang Daqing waved his hand to interrupt the argument.
"There is no point in arguing about who is right and who is wrong now. The top priority is to eliminate the monsters in the underground garage and rescue the residents trapped in the cars as soon as possible."
"Brother Daqing is right, it's important to do business first." Gao Fei turned and walked towards the garage. When he reached the door, he turned back and waved, "Jiajia, come here."
Li Jiajia wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and quickly ran to his side.
Gao Fei winked at Ma Tao.
Ma Tao grimaced, pretended not to notice, and took out a cigarette.
"You kid, stop pretending!" Gao Fei grabbed his cigarette and glared: "Hurry up!"
Ma Tao sighed helplessly, walked up to Li Jiajia, took her hand and said softly: "Jiajia, I wrongly blamed you just now. I shouldn't have lost my temper with you. I'm sorry."
Li Jiajia's eyes were red, she held her hand tightly and shook her head gently.
"Brother Tao, I did handle this matter improperly. Just like Cai Wei said, I should have adhered to my principles, but because I cared too much about what others thought of me, I chose to compromise, which ended up making things worse.
"
"Jiajia, you understand now that captain is not an easy job. There is no reward for doing well. If you mess up, you will be the first to take the blame. If you want to please all your teammates, you will end up offending everyone." Gao Fei said sympathetically.
.
Ma Tao blew out a smoke ring and squinted at him: "Brother Fei, so your son is determined not to be the captain and pushed me out of the tank in a sly way, right? You are really my good brother!"
"I'm cultivating your leadership skills. Don't you know a good person's heart?" Gao Fei sneered twice, then asked Li Jiajia, "What are the powerful tricks of that mysterious monster in the garage?"
"The monster looks like a big lobster. The pliers on the left are normal, but the pliers on the right are so big and deformed compared to the body!"
"Whenever it suddenly closes the giant pincers on its right side, it will emit a powerful shock wave, accompanied by a harsh sonic boom."
Li Jiajia opened the astrolabe and compared the automatically collected battle data to make an introduction.
"The cone-shaped sound wave shock has a diffusion range of 30 feet in the air, but it will increase to 60 feet in the water."
"No matter what medium it is transmitted in, it will cause 10d6 points of sonic damage to creatures within the impact range. If it fails to pass the Fortitude save, it will also fall into a state of 'shock'."
"This supernatural attack sounds very much like the enhanced version of the second-level spell 'Crushing Sound Wave'." Gao Fei pondered.
"Have you ever been to an aquarium?" Gu Siyi interjected, "The monster Jiajia just mentioned sounds a lot like a pistol shrimp!"
"That's right! I feel the same way!" Ma Yun nodded in agreement, "The most prominent feature of the pistol shrimp is that it has a specialized large pliers. If you suddenly close the pliers, it will create a small-scale sonic boom in the water.
, shocking the nearby small fish and shrimps into unconsciousness, and then preying on them!"
"Judging from Sister Jiajia's description just now, the monster in the garage is most likely a mutated pistol shrimp that has been infected by magic and has grown into a huge body!"
Everyone agreed with Gu Siyi and Ma Yun's speculation. The next question was how to deal with this mutant pistol shrimp.
"The monster's sonic impact doubles its range in the water. We'd better bring it to the surface to fight." Qi Tian said.
"I can play 'Ecstasy' and try to attract monsters out of the deep water."
Li Jiajia plucked up the courage and recommended herself.
"There is another question, which is how to resist the monster's sonic impact." Jiang Feng frowned slightly, "Not only does this move cause high damage, but more importantly, it can also cause shock. If you are shocked, you will probably have to wait for death.
