Qin Luofei didn't care why the marine life came here.
All she cared about was ensuring the successful completion of the salvage mission; this unknown animal had to be eliminated!
When she gave the order, Liu Kai finally escaped the awful pipe and entered the bottom of the lake.
But he discovered something strange.
Song Yuming, who clearly left the research base more than 20 minutes early, still failed to reach the shore!
The person was quietly hiding in the dark water 50 meters away from the cave entrance.
Without a wide-area scan, this person would never have been discovered.
However, this was not the only thing that puzzled him.
Not far in front of him, in the silt, there was a square metal box buried shallowly.
It's not surprising that it's a metal box.
However, Liu Kai clearly noticed that the box had a dolphin logo embossed on it.
This belongs to Song Yuming.
Song Yuming led the way, and this box was tucked behind him.
Liu Kai, following behind, naturally noticed this thing.
The most crucial issue.
The metal box didn't seem to have been accidentally dropped; it looked more like it had been deliberately buried in the mud.
"What's going on?"
Liu Kai was a little confused.
He simply took two steps forward and dug it out.
I glanced at it twice but couldn't figure out what it was for, so I put it in my storage space for now and will study it later.
But he didn't know.
Just after the box was put into the storage space.
The underwater sonar detected that the large object, which was rapidly approaching, seemed to freeze and slowed down considerably.
Even so, the thing just happened to be within the scanning limit range.
Sensing the sudden intrusion of a colossal creature, Liu Kai, bewildered, shuddered.
His eyes widened in horror as he looked up at the dim underwater scene in the distance.
That was an enormous... octopus?!
at the same time.
He also sensed that the ice surface was in complete chaos.
Many soldiers were wearing diving suits with ropes around their waists.
Holding a tranquilizer gun, he prepared to go into the water.
It seems that strengthening the body also strengthens the brain.
In just a moment, Liu Kai somehow guessed a lot of things out of thin air based on many trivial details.
The finger is pointed directly at Song Yuming!
Qin Luofei said that this person studies marine animals.
Liu Kai knew that many marine animals could be attracted by specific sound waves.
Could that square box with the dolphin logo carved in the mud be what attracted this giant octopus?
If it really was Song Yuming who did it, then many things will become clear.
For example, when Liu Kai told him to leave, he turned around and left without any hesitation;
For example, Song Yuming has gone into the water many times today, so he can hardly escape suspicion in the explosion just now;
For example, after he came out early, he didn't go ashore, but instead secretly hid in the shadows;
For example, subtle facial expressions and unintentional emotional outbursts...
There are too many hypothetical scenarios.
But if the guess is true, then what is this person's purpose?
Thinking of this, Liu Kai's expression turned slightly cold.
Whatever this person's purpose is, let's catch him first.
There's no secret that can't be revealed by any of the eighteen kinds of torture instruments!
Liu Kai quickly took out the small metal box with the dolphin logo printed on it from his storage space.
Firstly, it was to verify the purpose of the box and whether it could really attract the octopus in the distance.
Secondly, Song Yuming was hiding in the seaweed not far from the giant octopus.
If the octopus loses its appeal, it might just kill Song Yuming in the process.
really.
When the small box appeared in the water, the octopus, which had already slowed down, froze.
It then began to frantically writhe its eight thick tentacles as it swam in the water.
Despite its enormous size, it exhibits remarkable agility and speed.
It stirred up a surging undercurrent and instantly accelerated towards Liu Kai!
"Just as I thought!"
Once Liu Kai realized the purpose of the small box was clear, he pulled out his large cleaver without saying a word.
They focused all their attention on sensing the octopus's location, preparing for battle.
Wearing an exoskeleton and possessing the ability to manipulate space with their hands.
Even though the octopus was enormous, he showed no fear whatsoever.
There was even a slight feeling of stimulation and excitement.
But to Liu Kai's surprise, another unexpected situation occurred!
Even as the octopus lunged forward, it didn't forget to hunt for food.
One of the giant suction cup tentacles seemed to have received a separate command.
It suddenly reached out quickly towards Song Yuming, who was hiding in the water plants not far away!
Fast, accurate, and ruthless!
The instant he sensed this, Liu Kai instinctively exclaimed, "Holy crap!"
He could even faintly hear a cacophony of noise.
Amidst the noise, the word "Holy crap" was uttered—this was Song Yuming's exclamation!
Unfortunately, those two words were his last words.
Grabbed firmly by the enormous tentacles, it was instantly shoved into the octopus's mouth, which was full of sharp teeth.
On his deathbed, Song Yuming couldn't understand one thing:
Octopuses sense their prey through chemical and tactile signals.
However, he was wearing a fully sealed protective suit, so there was no trace of chemical odor.
How did this octopus manage to find his location so quickly and accurately?
Did a genetic mutation lead to the evolution of a heat-sensing system?
His questions were destined to remain unanswered, disappearing without a trace along with the bubbles escaping from the ruptured oxygen tank.
Liu Kai was truly stunned.
Unexpectedly, the octopus was able to sense Song Yuming's location.
That's certainly questionable, but Song Yuming really did ask for his own death.
Couldn't you have stayed further away or closer?
