Chapter 53: Attack



“Bang, bang, bang!”

Fierce gunfire continued to ring out, and a brutal battle took place on the search ship. Although the soldiers on the search ship rose up to resist, it did not have much effect and could not change the outcome.

Gunshots and screams rang out on the ship, blood and corpses were everywhere on the deck, and countless deep divers boarded the deck and entered the search ship.

The Deep Divers jumped and stepped into the air, and the soldiers' bullets had no way of hitting them at all. The Deep Divers simply pounced on the soldiers, bit off their necks, and looked for the next target.

Their speed was too fast. The search ship encountered the Deep Divers for less than three minutes, and the balance of victory naturally tilted towards the Deep Divers.

"What should we do?"

Several soldiers escorted the captain back to the rear cabin. Looking at the Deep Ones slaughtering people outside, they felt uneasy: "Should we launch the lifeboat and escape?"

"lifeboat?!"

The captain grabbed the soldier by the collar and said, "Are you crazy?! The sea is full of monsters like this. On the ship, we can use the advantageous terrain to fight back, but what can you do to fight them in the sea?!"

The search ship is not equipped with any large weapons at all, so it can only be beaten in this situation!

A crew member who didn't look like a soldier gritted his teeth and whispered, "Captain, we're doomed on this ship! These monsters are attacking so fiercely, why not take a chance on the lifeboat? Maybe we can escape!"

"Faced with such a monster, it's not that we don't resist, it's that the enemy is too powerful... You don't have to worry about being punished by the military."

Listening to the advice of his subordinates, the captain gritted his teeth and nodded, saying, "Let's go first and request reinforcements. Once they arrive, we'll send these monsters to the sky!"

The smoke blocked their signals, otherwise they wouldn't be so passive!

The captain could only comfort himself in his heart and tell himself that he was not running away to save his life.

It's just... I'm just going to look for reinforcements.

After reciting it silently several times in his heart, the lifeboat was put on the sea. Several figures sneaked into the lifeboat, broke through the waves, and rushed away into the distance, leaving behind an isolated search ship that was suffering endless hardships.

Several deep divers emerged from the seabed. They looked at the speeding lifeboat, and there was a strange cold light in their protruding eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the divers rushed towards the lifeboat underwater at an extremely terrifying speed, more than twice the speed of the lifeboat!

The lifeboat that was speeding on the sea suddenly began to shake, as if something under the boat was hindering them.

Although the people on the lifeboat tried their best to control it, the lifeboat eventually capsized into the sea. All the members on the lifeboat fell into the water. The next moment, a pool of scarlet blood appeared on the sea surface, floating freely.

Some carnivorous marine creatures around began to swarm over, but when they saw the deep divers lingering nearby, they retreated.

Gradually, the screams from the search ship in the distance subsided. Under the cover of several deep divers, Zhao Quan and Peter successfully boarded this temporary military search ship which was converted from a cargo ship.

Standing on the deck, looking at the broken limbs and blood all over the ground, Peter was vomiting. After all, he was still a young man and could not accept the scene before him.

Zhao Quan, on the other hand, was much calmer. He expressed his gratitude to the divers around him: "Praise Father God Dagon, thank you for your help."

The surrounding deep divers squatted on the search ship in the posture of frogs, and there were deep divers almost everywhere.

One of the divers gradually began to fade, slowly changing from green to flesh-colored, and finally gradually transformed into a middle-aged human.

The middle-aged man pointed at the sea, then at the search ship, shook his head desperately, and then made some gestures that Zhao Quan could not understand.

Zhao Quan:?

What do you mean? I don’t understand sign language.

Seeing Zhao Quan's confused expression, the middle-aged man gave up the gesture. After racking his brains for a while, he actually said, "You... kind... are you going to... the holy land?"

He spoke English haltingly and not very fluently, as if he had only been exposed to it for a few days.

"Holy Land?"

Peter exclaimed from the side, he looked at Zhao Quan and followed Zhao Quan's lead.

Zhao Quan was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said to the middle-aged man in front of him: "No, I don't want to go to the Holy Land for the time being... Thank you for your help. Can you take us to a safe place?"

Zhao Quan is not yet ready to completely become a deep diver. He still has friends and his own connections, and he is reluctant to leave this world.

Moreover, Zhao Quan felt that he had no right to make decisions for Peter.

Peter has parents, classmates and friends. If he really escapes into the sea and never comes back, he will definitely regret it for the rest of his life.

A hundred years later, I might go to the holy land and be with these deep divers.

The middle-aged-looking diver was confused and didn't seem to understand what Zhao Quan meant.

It took me a while to figure out what “safety” meant.

Afterwards, the middle-aged-looking deep diver pointed at several deep divers around him and made a series of sharp sounds.

Those deep divers began to move, and with a "puff" sound, they jumped into the sea one after another.

Then, the middle-aged Deep Diver spoke, "Follow... follow them... they'll take you... there..."

"Thank you!"

Zhao Quan took a deep breath and followed several deep-sea divers who had already jumped off the search ship, swimming in one direction.

After hesitating for a moment, Peter followed Zhao Quan's footsteps and swam towards an unknown direction.

As Zhao Quan and Peter left, the middle-aged deep diver changed again, and his body returned to the state of a deep diver with a fish head and a human body covered with scales.

There were hundreds of deep divers left on the ship. They roamed around the search ship freely and eventually came to the control center. They learned the operations of the previous crew members and slowly took control of the search ship.

Although they had no idea how to drive a search ship and there was a high probability that they would capsize it, they did not care much.

For humans, a capsize could mean death, but for them, a capsize means returning home.

In this way, the search ship staggered out of the fog area and headed in a direction no one knew.

The flags displaying official status fluttered in the wind, making a rustling sound.

From a distance, this search ship seems to be no different from a normal ship.

It looks like just an ordinary search ship.
