Although he was a little reluctant, the captain also understood that it was only right to prepare everything while there was still time. After all, his treasure could not be used just by hand.
Although the celestial phenomena have changed now, it has not affected the sight and hearing, so everyone can see the change in the captain's expression, which can't help but arouse their curiosity.
However, none of them made a sound, just silently watching the development of the situation.
Under the curious gaze of the others, the captain silently pressed a button on the console. With a series of machine rotation sounds, a turret slowly rose up on the deck.
This is an extremely simple fort, with only three old-fashioned cannons on it, and they still require manual control.
But no one present dared to look down upon them, because they all recognized that these three cannons were genuine field cannons.
You know, this is a being that can be ruthless on the battlefield.
Perhaps such a firepower reserve is somewhat different from that of orthodox battleships, but in the civilian field, it is pure dimensionality reduction and crushing.
Even if they encounter a pirate ship, if they can keep a distance, they will probably be able to compete.
At this time, everyone finally understood why Chen Ziyan called it a treasure and why the captain hesitated.
Although there is no explicit ban on guns yet, this thing is still a contraband no matter how you calculate it.
If it were them, they probably wouldn't want to show this kind of thing in front of so many strangers. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable.
At this moment, the wind gradually became louder, and it was obvious that the storm was about to take shape again.
This made Chen Ziyan and the others no longer interested in studying this 'Pinduoduo version of the fort' and returned their attention to the surrounding environment.
Chen Ziyan was even more focused. He had not forgotten the captain's concerns, which were the supernatural creatures that might be hidden in the storm.
The reason why he took the initiative to ask the captain to raise the cannon was actually for this matter.
Chen Ziyan can now basically conclude that this strange storm is related to the undersea tomb, so one can imagine what kind of supernatural creatures will appear.
The possibility of banning women is very low, because as far as Chen Ziyan knows, the home field of this kind of creature is in the water, and it can only exert its full combat power underwater. It is okay to deal with ordinary people after leaving the water, but facing people like them
Professionals simply deliver food.
Therefore, in Chen Ziyan's opinion, the most likely one to appear is the sea monkey.
First of all, sea monkeys have very strong fighting power and are not limited by the environment. Secondly, sea monkeys live together in groups, so they have a numerical advantage.
This is very important, after all, even extraordinary creatures will not violate the law of 'one plus one is greater than two'.
If he remembered correctly, when Wu Xie and others came here, Sea Monkey seemed to be in an old fishing boat when he appeared.
Chen Ziyan does not think this is an accidental phenomenon, but rather a regular phenomenon, so he thinks it should be the same this time.
Moreover, he once read an analysis post about water monkeys, which focused on describing that the reason why water monkeys appear on abandoned fishing boats may be because they use them as nests.
After all, strictly speaking, water monkeys are amphibious creatures. If there are no islands around the habitat, it is very reasonable to use fishing boats similar to floating islands as nests.
The reason why Chen Ziyan asked the captain to raise the fort was also for this purpose.
It would be fine if no ship appears later, but if it does appear, then these three artillery pieces are the best way to deal with it.
Even if the danger cannot be completely eliminated, it can still make the situation develop in a direction more favorable to them.
Even hand-to-hand combat is different, isn't it?
After what happened in the snake mine, he would not be so naive as to think that like Wu Xie, he would only have to face one sea monkey.
At this stage, who knows how many sea monkeys there are here.
Although he had heard other people describe it, Chen Ziyan finally understood why the captain was so taboo after seeing it with his own eyes.
It’s indeed a bit scary!
It is definitely an exaggeration to say that the celestial phenomena change with lightning speed, but they are indeed changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It can be said that it only took a few minutes for the visibility to go from calm to stormy and the visibility was extremely compressed.
At this moment, Chen Ziyan's expression suddenly changed, and he looked to the side and ahead with a solemn expression.
Although he could no longer see the specific situation clearly, he could hear some strange sounds.
Although the wind and waves around him were getting more and more violent, the noise that appeared was very monotonous, so if there was a slightly special sound, it was immediately caught by Chen Ziyan.
After listening carefully, Chen Ziyan felt that the voice was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
Just at this moment, a wave of waves came and hit the hull of the ship.
When the sound of crashing waves sounded, Chen Ziyan immediately came back to his senses. Wasn't that the sound he heard?
When this idea appeared, Chen Ziyan immediately realized that the crisis was imminent.
The noise almost made it clear that a ship was approaching them.
Without any hesitation, Chen Ziyan immediately shouted loudly: "Everyone, be careful, something is coming!"
However, a warning was a warning, and Chen Ziyan did not tell all his guesses. In any case, the team was formed temporarily, and a little hiding would only benefit him and not bring any harm.
No one doubted Chen Ziyan's words. Everyone on the deck immediately became more vigilant. The crew member responsible for controlling the cannon directly pointed the muzzle of the cannon in the direction pointed by Chen Ziyan.
Judging from their posture, they might open fire at the next moment.
But this is understandable. After all, these people are just ordinary crew members. Although they have relatively advanced skills, they have not faced such incidents personally many times.
Chen Ziyan didn't say much about this, he just glanced at it with his peripheral vision and stopped paying attention. As long as these gunners could maintain their basic composure, he didn't expect anything else.
Chen Ziyan and the others were not kept waiting for too long, and soon a blurry black shadow appeared in front of them.
"That's the boat!"
As soon as this black shadow appeared, someone identified its prototype.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
Even though this place is not considered a deep sea, it is still quite far away from the land. They were able to arrive in such a short time because they had planned the route from the beginning.
So this ship appears rather strange.
"More than one!"
Chen Ziyan suddenly reminded.
He had been keeping a close eye on that side, so he noticed the situation immediately.
