Liu Kai stepped on the octopus's head, which had a hole in it, and together they slowly sank to the bottom of the lake.
He saw the giant octopus's vertical slit eyes, which were larger than his own body, constantly looking left and right.
The giant octopus was clearly still conscious, but all of its tentacles had lost control.
The spherical main body twisted and writhed, attempting a final struggle.
Unfortunately, all the struggles were in vain.
Its massive body slowly crashed into the lakebed, splashing up a large amount of silt.
Liu Kai jumped off the octopus's head and pulled up a thick steel cable.
It swiftly wrapped around the narrowest part between the octopus's brain and tentacles.
They immediately retrieved the emergency beacon and sent out a signal.
At this moment, everyone on the ice could clearly feel that the heart-wrenching battle underwater had stopped.
Qin Luofei, on the other hand, saw it more directly from the sonar.
"So fast..."
She was utterly shocked and murmured to herself.
An incredulous look appeared in his eyes.
It wasn't until Liu Kai's signal rang on the computer that she was pulled back to reality from her reverie.
He immediately took a deep breath and rushed out of the command tent towards the ice cave.
By this time, the area around the ice cave had been crowded with onlookers.
Workers operating the crane are retrieving the cable.
As the cable was pulled up section by section from the water's surface, everyone's hearts seemed to be gripped by something.
"Splash..."
Suddenly, a splashing sound rang out, and everyone craned their necks to look inside the ice cave.
The water swelled high, sending up huge waves that surged in all directions, washing over the ice.
The next moment.
The bulge on the water's surface was directly broken open.
The first thing that catches the eye is a huge, pale pink lump of meat.
Immediately afterwards, the huge chunk of meat was lifted away from the ice cave by a crane, gradually revealing its full appearance.
All that could be seen was a terrifying, colossal beast being slowly lifted up.
Its enormous body blocked out the already dim light of day, making the surroundings slightly dark.
The lake water and blood attached to the octopus mixed together and fell like raindrops.
Then, in mid-air, they were frozen by the cold wind into glistening pale red ice beads.
The ice shattered with a "crackling" sound.
It's huge!
This was a thought that subconsciously popped into everyone's mind.
However, standing so close to the ice cave, it was clearly impossible to get a full view of the octopus's enormous body.
Everyone held their breath in unison.
At the same time, he took several steps back in quick succession, just to get a clearer view of the monster.
"Look, its eyes are still moving! It's not dead!!!"
Suddenly, someone exclaimed in surprise, causing everyone's hearts to tighten.
They all looked toward the octopus's still-moving vertical slit-like eyes.
Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the octopus was indeed still alive.
My subconscious instinct is to get away from here.
The surrounding soldiers raised their rifles, ready to fire at full force at Qin Luofei's command.
"Stop! Don't fire!!!"
Just then, a thunderous sound rang out.
Everyone looked in astonishment and saw Liu Kai tightly hugging the octopus's long, drooping tentacles.
At this moment, it was also pulled out of the water as the crane lifted it up.
Liu Kai calmly released his tentacles and stepped onto the ice.
He grinned at Qin Luofei and said, "Secretary Qin, tell your men to put down their guns, or they might kill my prize!"
Qin Luofei was clearly quite frightened as well.
He started to stammer when he spoke.
"Liu...uh, Mr. Qiu, the spoils...no, I meant to ask, is this octopus still alive?"
"Of course he's not dead, but he's paralyzed. Don't worry."
Everyone around breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't just stand there, hurry up and deliver this to Expert Zhu. Don't forget my reward, 30 grams of gold for every pound you buy."
Seeing Liu Kai's matter-of-fact and shameless demeanor...
Qin Luofei's lips twitched.
“Mr. Qiu, there’s no difference between a paralyzed animal and a corpse, which doesn’t meet Professor Zhu’s research standards at all.”
"Who cares if it's paralyzed or not, it's still alive! Get it away quickly, or it might freeze to death."
The octopus's skin was already starting to freeze.
Qin Luofei knew that if she delayed any longer, she might really freeze to death.
They quickly asked the staff nearby to start a fire next to the giant octopus to keep it warm.
He then ordered everyone to allocate a large military transport truck.
After emptying the cargo, turn on the warehouse insulation function and quickly move this thing away.
Some of the staff around them got busy.
"Mr. Qiu, has there been an explosion down there?"
"Yes, but don't worry, I've already retrieved it; it's right next to the cave entrance."
"What? Really?!"
Qin Luofei's eyes lit up immediately, revealing a strong sense of anticipation!
When the explosion was detected, she had already given up hope.
The already crumbling passageway collapsed and was buried rapidly.
In this situation, only a god could salvage a 13.5-ton weapon.
Moreover, after all this commotion, the "backup plan" of dismantling and transporting the weapons out in batches has become meaningless.
Such a crucial task failed in his hands.
She was even prepared for punishment from her superiors, or even to be brought before a military court.
The only saving grace was that Liu Kai killed the giant octopus, thus saving the lives of many soldiers.
But unexpectedly.
Now I've heard such amazing good news!
