Chapter 135 Giant Octopus
The sky went from dark to bright, and the moon hung high in the sky.
The giant octopus stretched out its long claws on the ice, surrounding the people at the City B base on the beach.
There were twelve people when they came out, and now there are only seven left.
Liu Jing managed to swim onto a reef and saved her life, but her legs were already weak. The trousers of her waterproof suit were torn by the giant octopus. Her legs, from the thighs to the ankles, were all red and painful. She didn't know whether it was the biting cold wind, skin abrasions or fractures.
But compared to her companion who was swallowed by the giant octopus, she was much luckier. At this time, she was lying on a big rock on the sea, gasping for breath, and still a little scared of surviving the disaster.
The giant octopus was too big for them to handle alone.
No, not to mention that I can't cope with it, even staying alive... is a problem.
At this moment, Liu Jing was about two hundred meters away from the main force. She was lying on the reef, while Mr. Wu and his men were on the shore.
The giant octopus' claws were wrapped around the reef, looking like it was ready to attack Liu Jing at any time.
Liu Jing wasn't sure if it was because the giant octopus had just eaten two people and was not hungry, or if it was afraid of the sickle in her hand, or if it was for some other reason, but the giant octopus did not attack her again, and she had no wounds on her body from being bitten by the giant octopus.
Just now in the underwater battle, Liu Jing cut off one of the giant octopus's claws.
Lying on the big rock with her was Number 8. Half of his ear had been bitten off by a giant octopus and was bleeding profusely. Half of his face was covered in blood, and the other half was covered in sea water.
"Sister Jing, are we going to die here?" Number 8 covered his ears, his fingers were covered in blood, and his eyes were filled with despair.
Liu Jing thought of what she had just said to Master Wu. She was not sure in her heart, but she still comforted No. 8, "No, we have already asked L Base for help. L Base will not stand by and watch someone die."
"But...what reason do they have to come and rescue us? The Lord of L Base has no relationship with us..." No. 8 murmured.
Liu Jing closed her eyes. She knew it very well, but when a person is dying, he or she must have some hope in his or her heart so as not to be too despair...
When the two were about to be frozen into popsicles, there was a buzzing sound of an airplane in the sky. Liu Jing patted No. 8's face and said, "Wake up! Someone is here to save us."
Number 8 opened his eyes with great difficulty, and indeed saw a white plane above his head. He immediately raised his hands and waved to the sky for help, "Is this L Base... Help - Help -"
Number 8 had lost too much blood and his voice was as low as a mosquito's. If Liu Jing hadn't been talking to him and cheering him up, he would have fainted long ago.
Liu Jing was just tired and cold, but much more energetic than him, and her voice was louder. She shouted several times for help towards the plane.
Soon, the people on the plane noticed them.
Someone opened the plane door and shouted at them through a megaphone, "Why don't you go ashore!?"
That voice was clearly male. It didn't sound like someone from L base, but rather like Connie from Y city base.
But no matter who it was, Liu Jing didn't want to give up any chance of survival. The distance was so far that no matter how Liu Jing shouted, no one on the plane could hear her.
After a while, Connie threw down a rope from the plane. Liu Jing breathed a sigh of relief, tied the rope around No. 8 and herself, then pulled the rope to signal the people above that they were tied up.
But just as the people on the plane were pulling them up, the giant octopus suddenly stretched out a few claws and swung them upwards, not only entangling Liu Jing and No. 8, but also pulling the plane downward and shaking it.
"Oh no!" When Liu Jing saw the giant octopus's terrifying eyes staring at them, she knew that this was what it was planning. Its purpose was not to eat them, but to eat more people!
"Cut the rope!"
Liu Jing shouted to the people on the plane.
Connie in the plane was also frightened and shouted to his people, "Untie the rope quickly!"
But whether it is cutting the rope or untying it, it takes a certain amount of time. The giant octopus is getting stronger and stronger, and the pilot's hands are almost broken when he tries to turn the plane. Not only is the plane not moving, it is also sinking.
Before the plane completely sank into the sea, Connie desperately took out the walkie-talkie from his pocket and tried to tune to a certain channel, but before he could press it, the plane quickly sank into the water.
The last thought of the desperate Connie was: Oh no, if only I could ask L Base for help!
The Y City base that was originally intended to be a surprise attack was completely destroyed in the sea.
L Base was far away, and by the time Connie reached the West Sea, he was almost frozen to death.
He lay on the roof of his plane, feeling like Rose in Titanic, waiting for a ray of hope. Liu Jing, who was lying on the reef, told him that they had already asked L Base for help.
This news gave Connie a glimmer of hope.
When the black and white painted fighter plane appeared in Connie's sight, he wanted to cry so much, but his tear glands seemed to be frozen. He had the intention to cry but no tears came out.
"Zhao Yunduo, help me!"
He tried his best to shout at Zhao Yunduo, but he was afraid that Zhao Yunduo would underestimate the enemy like he had just done, and would release a rope to save him, so he continued to shout: "Don't release the rope - the octopus - will pull the plane -"
Although his voice was very loud, it was blown away by the sea breeze. Zhao Yunduo on the plane only saw someone but did not hear any sound.
"Sister Duo, where are we landing?"
Although the moon allowed people to see the sea and the beach clearly, they could only see people on the shore, but could not see anything in the sea.
Zhao Yunduo suddenly remembered at this moment that when she had just traveled to the end of the world, Shen Linglan bought her a very bright flashlight that could clearly illuminate a large area of land.
She took out five or six flashlights from the space and gave two to Wu An, Kong Liang and others. They stretched their hands out of the airplane window, and when the six flashlights were turned on at the same time, people on the beach and the sea felt as if the sky had suddenly become brighter.
The giant octopus lurking on the sea surface with only one eye exposed cannot hide in an instant no matter how good its disguise ability is.
"Oh my god! What a big octopus! Wu An, your grandpa is being conservative!" Kong Liang shouted in surprise.
Wu An held a flashlight and kept searching the coast for his grandfather's figure. Finally, he found several dying figures on the shore.
This time, the people traveling with Zhao Yunduo were Liang Tuantuan, Liang Yuanyuan, Wu An, Kong Liang and Zhou Micheng. The rest of them stayed in the base.
On the one hand, they had no experience in fighting together, and on the other hand, Zhao Yunduo had already said when he was recruiting people that they only needed to build a base.
So even if they were willing to go together, Zhao Yunduo would not agree.
After the flashlight illuminated the sea surface, the giant octopus's eyes, which were bigger than bowls, stared at the aircraft closely.
"I feel like it's staring at us and sizing us up."
"Octopuses are highly intelligent and have great memory," Zhao Yunduo said. "It is probably thinking about how to deal with us."
Just now, Shen Linglan found a lot of information about octopuses and gave Zhao Yunduo some advice. Their advantage now is that they know in advance that the giant monster is an octopus.
Looking at the plane that landed on the coast, we can tell that idiot Connie definitely didn't know there was a giant octopus on the seabed, so he flew the plane too close to the water.
"Looking at its appearance, its claws seem to be quite long. Be careful that it doesn't hit the plane."
As soon as Zhao Yunduo finished speaking, Liang Yuanyuan steered the plane farther away from the water.
"Wu An, shoot."
