On the other side, the players who had been fighting over the "empty boxes" finally stopped after being persuaded by others. They were gasping for breath with bruised faces and noses. Just when they were about to find Lu Ye to argue with him again, they found that... the other party's fleet had disappeared long ago, leaving only an empty sea.
Before long, thanks to the efficient "scavenging" work of Xiong Ren and others, enough special composite metal ingots were gathered.
Lu Ye chose to manufacture without hesitation.
A faint blue light flashed, and a palm-sized, precisely structured metal instrument appeared in Lu Ye's hand.
"Tsk, it's really bright!" Lu Ye connected the signal receiver to the ship's backup energy interface, and dense snowflakes immediately appeared on the screen, but soon, a clear green signal dot was flashing at Lu Ye's location.
"So close? What the hell?"
Lu Ye widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
He turned his head to look at Su Baiyue, who was in charge of radar and communications.
"Xiaobai, this thing didn't go crazy right after it was built? How could Meng Yang and the others do this right under our noses?"
Su Baiyue adjusted her glasses and carefully observed the data stream on the signal receiver screen, frowning slightly.
"Brother Lu, look at the three-dimensional projection of this signal... It's almost overlapping with us. It's not like we're on the same plane. It's more like... we're upstairs, they're downstairs, occupying the same ground."
“Upstairs and downstairs? Haha…ha…!”
At first, Lu Ye thought the metaphor was interesting, and as he was laughing, his expression suddenly froze.
That thing that swallowed Meng Yang and the others... couldn't it be right under our ship?!
This thought made the hairs on his body stand on end!
"boom--!!!!"
As if to confirm Lu Ye's guess, a deafening roar suddenly came from right below the fleet!
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying airflow suddenly gushed out from directly below the fleet!
It was like a chessboard being overturned by an invisible giant. The smaller modified ships and even some unlucky patrol boats were instantly lifted into the air by this violent column of air. Broken masts, flying debris and screams of terror intertwined together, forming a doomsday picture.
Lu Ye only felt the boat under his feet shake violently, and a teeth-grinding creaking sound came from the bottom of the boat, as if it would fall apart at any time.
He grabbed the side of the boat tightly and managed to keep his balance, cursing with a dark face.
"A sneak attack?! Just wait!"
Those deep-sea monsters that were summoned with great difficulty were now in trouble.
They had been forming a stable formation at the bottom of the ship, but were thrown into disarray by the sudden underwater eruption. Many smaller ones were stunned by the shock wave and floated up with their white bellies turned up, and were about to be wiped out.
Lu Ye's heart was bleeding, these were all his precious fighting power!
“Sizzle—”
At this critical moment, a clear electric current sound suddenly came from the signal receiver that had just been activated, followed by Qin He's voice with a hint of surprise and anxiety.
"Boss Lu! How are you guys?! We...we seem to have hit the exit! The surrounding flesh walls...are broken!"
A flash of lightning flashed through Lu Ye's mind!
Giant whale!
That’s right, it must be the giant deep-sea whale that was attracted by the “Aquatic Affinity” scroll, frightened away by the bloody forbidden area rules, and dived into the deep sea and never showed its head again!
Who else could have swallowed a fleet the size of Meng Yang and his crew in one gulp, and created such a terrifying underwater commotion, other than that behemoth the size of a small island?!
This beast is actually following me like a ghost!
And he even lurked right under our boat and played an underwater fountain?!
Lu Ye just felt his scalp tingling.
Trouble!
The size and strength of this giant far exceeded any creature he had encountered before.
If you really want to fight this thing head-on, even if you reveal all your cards, your chances of winning are pitifully low.
Even RPGs might not be able to easily penetrate its tough skin, not to mention its terrifying power underwater.
"Xiaobai!" Lu Ye made a quick decision and yelled at Su Baiyue.
"Direct all available battery energy on board to the hull. Using that electromagnetic pulse principle you researched earlier, find a way to adjust the frequency of the current and crank it up to maximum intensity! See if you can have a conversation with that giant down there! Tell it, if it keeps moving, I'll treat it to a C4 bucket!"
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Lu Ye's eyes.
Confronting a monster of this level head-on is like hitting a rock with an egg. You can only outsmart it, or... intimidate it!
“Sizzle—boom!”
Su Baiyue's white fingertips flew rapidly on the control panel, connecting several battery packs in parallel, and the overloaded energy rushed into the hull frantically.
In an instant, the small broken boat under Lu Ye's feet seemed to be covered with a layer of violent lightning armor. Dark blue arcs of electricity danced wildly on the hull, scorching the surrounding sea water and making a sizzling sound. The air was filled with a strong smell of ozone.
The giant underwater obviously also felt this strong electromagnetic shock, and the originally violent airflow suddenly stopped.
Immediately afterwards, a clear thought directly flooded into Lu Ye's mind, simple and crude, yet with unquestionable majesty.
"Lu Ye! Come out!"
The sound was not human language, but the meaning was conveyed clearly.
Lu Ye's scalp tingled. This also involves a mental link?
"It... it's calling you?" Shen Shu's pretty face turned pale, and she suddenly hugged Lu Ye's arm, her voice trembling slightly.
"Lu Ye, it must be here for revenge! Let's... let's go!"
Nonsense! Of course I knew it was out for revenge! With the electric shock and C4 threats, this feud is getting serious!
Lu Ye was cursing in his heart, but he pretended to be calm on the surface.
A light bulb went off in his head, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Xiao Yiyi, who was busy helping to secure the supplies on the boat not far away - the girl who always liked to eat chili peppers as rice when cooking.
"Xiao Yiyi, do you still have the spicy grilled squid you made before?" Lu Ye asked suddenly.
"Ah?" Xiao Yiyi was stunned by the question and answered subconsciously.
"The conditions on the boat are limited. There's no iron plate, but I used the emergency pot to make some spicy squid tentacles... Brother Lu, are you hungry?"
Lu Ye touched his chin, his eyes flickering.
"I'm not hungry, but I'm just thinking, if that thing is swallowed by this big guy..."
He grinned, revealing his white teeth.
"The heat generated could easily generate thermonuclear fusion, melting a few glaciers without a problem, right?"
Xiao Yiyi instantly understood Lu Ye's "evil intentions" and her face turned pale with fright.
"Brother Lu! Don't do that! I'm already spitting fire just eating that thing. If it eats it, it'll hate you even more! Then it'll hunt you down to the ends of the earth. We...we'd better run away first. Saving our lives is the most important thing!"
