Chapter five hundred and seventy-third deep sea shark
No matter what, Colonel White is now the commander of our expedition team. After he got angry, Mike shut up. Jamie, on the other hand, regained confidence because of what Colonel White just said.
After a hasty breakfast, Colonel White immediately asked Harris to go to the sea to have a look and confirm what kind of situation it was. The fleet on the sea hurriedly cut off the cable with the base without even notifying them.
After watching Harris jump into the sea and leave, everyone dispersed.
When I returned to the dormitory, I first went to see Mo Xi next door. Seeing that she had been playing with the computer, I asked, "Dr. Mo Xi, what are you doing?"
Mo Xi didn't even raise his head and said: "Since I have to stay here for a while longer, I want to restore the computer data obtained from the spaceship first. This work requires time and concentration, Sijiu, if you have nothing
If it's urgent, please don't disturb me yet."
After hearing Mo Xi's last words, which were like expelling a guest, I had no choice but to leave and return to my dormitory. I just lay on the small bed in the dormitory, but I had nothing to do. The only movie I could watch here was already watched yesterday.
I couldn't think of what to do, so I could only lie in bed and sleep in a daze.
But probably because I didn't sleep well yesterday, I fell into a deep sleep not long after lying on the bed.
I don’t know how long I slept, but I was suddenly woken up from the bed by the sound of an alarm. When I came out of the dormitory, I saw the alarm lights on the wall flashing, as if something big had happened.
Seems like.
At this moment, I saw Mike passing me with an anxious look on his face, so I grabbed him and said, "I'm sorry, what happened?"
Because the situation was a bit confusing, I actually forgot that Mike didn’t speak Chinese at all. He looked at me blankly, and then replied a few words in English. Seeing that I didn’t understand him at all, he simply stopped talking and started talking.
Follow me and run somewhere else.
A few minutes later, I followed him to the central control room of the base, and saw Colonel White sitting in front of the central console with an anxious look on his face, shouting something at a screen in front of him.
Beside Colonel White, Elizabeth and Mo Xi were also present. When Mo Xi saw me coming, she waved for me to come to her.
Walking over, I asked in a low voice: "Dr. Mo Xi, what happened? Why is the alarm turned on?"
Mo Xi said nothing, but pointed directly at the screen in front of Colonel White.
The picture currently displayed on the screen seems to be a picture captured by a camera arranged on the seabed, but the scene in the picture is a bit too horrible to watch.
The picture was full of red blood and shattered internal organs. A body that was almost unrecognizable as a human was being attacked and eaten by a group of sharks that were probably 5 or 6 meters long.
I couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then asked: "Mo Xi, who is that person up here?"
Before Mo Xi could answer, Colonel White, who had been calling loudly on the walkie-talkie just now, answered me: "It's Fiona..."
It turns out that in order to avoid emergencies, everything that happens in the base will be videotaped, and all operations performed by the computers inside the base will also be recorded. These recorded image data and computer records will be recorded every twelve
Hours will be sent to a small mini-submarine more than 100 meters away from the submarine base.
This mini-submarine is not for use by expedition members like us, because it can only carry a maximum of three crew members. Its main task is actually to transport the recorded images and computer records.
On this submarine, people from the Foundation prepared an exquisite timing device. Every twelve hours, this device needs to be reset manually. If the people in the base do not reset it due to some reason or trouble,
With a timing device, the submarine equipped with images and computer records will automatically return to the surface. At that time, people at sea can know what happened under the sea through the records in the submarine. Although these records are not complete, they are better than
Nothing is better.
Before the tragedy just now, Fiona, the logistics staff at the base, had always been responsible for delivering records and resetting time devices to submarines.
This time, when I was fast asleep, Fiona, as before, took the images and computer data from the base to the small submarine, and reset the submarine's timing device.
But when she returned from the submarine, an accident happened. A group of sharks suddenly appeared and surrounded Fiona while she was walking on the seabed. Because there had been no accidents in several previous missions, Fiona's
She didn't carry any weapons, so she had no way of resisting except shining the searchlight on the group of sharks.
And just when Fiona was trying to drive away the sharks with a searchlight, a shark hiding in the shadows suddenly bit her hand that was holding the searchlight.
Our wetsuits have been specially reinforced to withstand the water pressure of a thousand feet underwater. Even the teeth of sharks cannot damage our wetsuits in a short period of time. Therefore, although we were a little unprepared, the Philippines
In the end, Oona's wetsuit only had a small hole bitten by the shark.
The tragedy is that when Fiona was bitten through her diving suit, she was also bitten with a small wound on her arm. The blood that flowed from the wound flowed into the seawater along the small hole in the suit.
As a result, the sharks that originally circled Fiona because they were concerned about the light of the diving light, after being stimulated by the blood, immediately became ferocious and began to attack Fiona desperately.
There were over a hundred sharks present at the scene at that time. Being attacked by such a large number of sharks at the same time, even a specially reinforced diving suit could not resist for long.
Finally, under attack from a group of sharks, Fiona turned into what I just saw.
At that time, Colonel White was working in the central control room of the base, so he knew what happened immediately after Fiona was attacked. Originally, Colonel White wanted to rescue Fiona immediately
Yes, it's just that things on Fiona's side progressed too quickly. Just when White was about to take action, the sharks had already started to attack Fiona. In the end, Colonel White could only listen to Fiona.
The screams came out from the communicator, while he watched helplessly as she was being torn apart by sharks.
When Colonel White explained this to me, the sharks on the screen began to gradually disperse and leave, and finally only Fiona's half-eaten corpse remained in front of the camera.
Fiona's body was eventually brought back by Agent Harris, who returned from the sea. I heard that Harris was nearby when Fiona was attacked, so he could bring it back as soon as the sharks left.
Her body.
Regarding this matter, Dean, the logistics worker who worked with Fiona, was the first to express his dissatisfaction. After Harris came back, Dean rushed up immediately, cursing Harris for not saving her, while
I just wanted to punch Harris with my fists.
Regarding Dean's accusation, Harris said that he was also innocent, because according to him, he had just returned from the sea when the incident occurred. And when he saw Fiona, Fiona also
He had already been bitten to death by a shark.
Therefore, it was not that Harris refused to save her, but because he had arrived too late. In order to avoid trouble, he waited until the sharks had left before appearing and bringing Fiona's body back.
Dean obviously didn't quite believe Harris's defense, but at this time, Colonel White stood up. After some dissuasion from him, Dean had to accept the facts before him and left Feo unwillingly.
Na's body.
After the emotional Dean left, Colonel White turned to Harris and asked him: "Harris, what is the situation on the sea? Is the fleet still there?"
Harris shook his head and said: "The situation is terrible. This is the first time I have seen such a violent typhoon. Logically speaking, according to the news from the fleet yesterday, this typhoon should not arrive in this area for another hour.
But I didn’t expect that when I surfaced, the typhoon looked like it had been raging for a long time.”
