Mo Xi and I felt a little strange when we heard Colonel White's voice. In order to expand the search area during this investigation, Colonel White divided us into three groups. Mo Xi and I were in a separate group, so this time, he
He was not with us like last time.
If that's the case, where did his voice come from?
At this moment, not only Colonel White, but also Mike's and others' voices came out from the helmets.
It was only then that we discovered that the source of the sound originally came from the radio in the helmet.
It turns out that up until just now, Mo Xi and I had been chatting on the public channel on the radio. Because it was a public channel, White and the others who were not at the scene also heard everything Mo Xi and I said.
This discovery made Mo Xi blush with shame. He even stopped translating for me the noisy words of Mike and others on the channel. He lowered his head and walked forward.
I had no choice but to ask Colonel White for help and ask him to translate for me to see what Mike and the others were talking about.
I originally thought that Mike and the others were laughing at Mo Xi's timidity, but what I didn't expect was that they were actually discussing the movie "Extreme Cold" that Mo Xi and I just mentioned.
!
Emotions These people have also watched the movie and were deeply impressed by the content in it. Mike even expressed loudly that he, like Mo Xi, felt that this movie was a shadow in his life.
Shortly after this episode, our investigation came to an end.
Seeing that the oxygen reserves were once again approaching the warning line, Colonel White had no choice but to let us evacuate again after seeing such a result. However, before leaving, he also assured everyone who still felt that the investigation was not enough that after tomorrow morning
, he will organize another investigation.
In this way, everyone left the spacecraft and started returning to the base along the original path.
However, not long after we moved forward, Dean, a logistics officer on duty in the base, suddenly said to Colonel White on the radio: "Colonel, I just noticed that there seems to be some reaction on the sonar side."
"reaction?"
Colonel White immediately raised his right hand to signal everyone to stop. At the same time, Harris, who was cruising beside, also came over.
Then Colonel White continued to ask: "Dean, please tell me clearly, what's wrong with the sonar?"
"Um... Colonel, something is approaching the base. The opponent is very fast and huge! The situation may not be good. I suggest you come back as soon as possible!"
When White heard this, he had no time to continue asking. He turned around and waved to us: "Did you all hear that? Let's go, go quickly!"
After that, he took the lead and rushed back towards the base, with the others following closely behind him.
However, the sudden situation still had some impact on someone in our team. When everyone else was struggling to take steps towards the base, Jamie did not know when he fell at the end. When White noticed
Something was wrong with him. When calling him on the intercom, we all heard Jamie's somewhat frightened voice.
"Sharks! It's those sharks, they're back!"
White said angrily: "Jamie, why don't you move faster? Do you want to be like Fiona?"
"But, but..." Jamie's voice actually had a hint of crying, "Colonel, I can't walk. My feet are soft and I can't lift them up."
"This idiot!" White cursed in a low voice and said to Harris, "Harris, you heard this, go and help Jamie."
"No problem sir."
After hearing this, Harris swam back, grabbed Jamie's left hand, and pulled him to swim toward the base.
Halfway through the journey, a strange thing suddenly happened around us.
In the originally dark sea water, white snow suddenly began to fall!
"Snow? Why is it snowing?"
Jamie was the first discoverer of this "snowflake". Hearing his voice, everyone else stopped and looked up.
I saw that in the surrounding sea water, there were actually white objects like "snowflakes" falling from my head. Not only were these white objects large in size, each one was nearly fifty centimeters long, but they were also huge in number and densely packed together.
A piece fell from the top of my head, and it really felt like snow.
But when these white things fell around us, we discovered something was wrong, that is, something seemed to be crawling among the white "snow"!
Elizabeth, who was the first to react, immediately shouted: "This is not snow! Everyone, this is an egg!"
"Eggs?" White asked in shock, "What eggs are so big?"
Before anyone could answer White's question, Jamie had already shouted on the radio: "God, what are we still doing here? Let's go, let's go! Harris, please send me back quickly!"
Jamie's pleading did not make Harris move. Harris raised his head and stared at the top of his head, as if something was attracting his attention.
Suddenly, Harris lowered his head and shouted on the radio: "Go! Go quickly! There is something big approaching us!"
After saying that, Harris pulled Jamie and swam forward. After hearing the words, the others immediately took action.
As we desperately headed towards the entrance of the base, there were more and more "snowflakes" above our heads. At the same time, Dean's warning sounded in our ears.
"Colonel! That thing has turned. It's approaching you. It's still 300 feet away!"
After a short while, Dean said again: "250 feet!"
"It's 200 feet!"
"It's accelerating. It's only 100 feet!"
"God, Colonel, you're going to be too late!"
Dean's voice on the radio was like the knell of death, making us feel more and more desperate. In the panic, Mike accidentally stepped on an egg on the seabed and broke the contents inside.
came out.
Perhaps because it was not fully developed, the creature that emerged from the egg soon turned into a pile of corpses, and its appearance was not clear at all. However, at the moment before it emerged from the egg, we had a glimpse of it.
Look clearly, this creature looks a bit like an octopus.
After regaining his balance, Mike continued on his way and shouted to Elizabeth: "Elizabeth, did you see that thing just now? Is that an octopus?"
"I don't know, but as far as I know, the eggs of the Pacific octopus, the largest octopus in the world, are only a few centimeters in size?"
"Pacific octopus? How big is it?"
"Usually about five meters..."
Elizabeth's words caused a stir in everyone's hearts. A five-meter-long octopus has eggs that are only a few centimeters in size. According to this ratio, the octopus that lays eggs that are fifty centimeters in size will , how big can it be?
Just when everyone was frightened by this idea, suddenly, a huge black shadow covered our heads.
"Colonel, it has arrived near you! You may see it at any time now!"
Dean's reminder from the headset seems to have become an afterthought at this moment, because the thing he saw in the sonar has now appeared on top of our heads, and with the searchlight in our hands, we can see even more You can clearly see part of its appearance.
I saw that it was a monster like a hill, with many long tentacles. At the ends of these tentacles, I also saw a pair of huge eyes, probably more than five meters in diameter, shining with a faint green light.
I just felt numb. Oh my god, was that an octopus? It was simply a huge monster!
I stared blankly at the monster less than a few dozen meters above our heads. I really didn't want to look at this terrible thing anymore, but for a moment, I couldn't move my eyes away because of fear.
Not only me, but also everyone else froze at this time. Everyone stood there stupidly, feeling a sense of despair. In front of such a huge monster, any resistance would be in vain.
