Chapter 301: Darkness (33)
After Lan Jin said this, the Shen siblings really had no way to answer. After all, what she said was right. Among all the superpowers, Lan Jin's lightning power was indeed at the top.
However, the Shen siblings didn't expect Lan Jin to be so straightforward and say it so directly.
After a moment of awkwardness, the brother and sister naturally couldn't continue to disturb him.
"Anyway, thank you Sister Lan for this time. You should have a good rest. You have another shift tomorrow."
"Um."
After seeing off the brother and sister, Lan Jin put these things into the space and went to bed.
…
at night.
At about 12 o'clock in the dark night, the ship was sailing on the water. Not far away, a dark mass gathered together, which was particularly eye-catching.
The scouts immediately reported the discovery to the captains of the various ships. Zhang and his companions immediately arrived at the A-class. After observing from a distance for a while, they said, "Let's go around and try not to alert them."
But at this time, the investigator said, "Captain, there seems to be something under that dark mass."
The captains of each ship immediately took out their telescopes and looked over there carefully.
However, what was underneath that dark mass? It was clearly a person. Under that person, there was only a piece of wood allowing him to float on the water. As the water rose and fell with the waves, the scene was dangerous and tense.
However, after careful observation, it is not difficult to find that the person on the wooden board does not show any movement, so it is unclear whether he is dead or alive.
If he is dead, there is no need to bother going there. If he is alive, of course the priority is to save him first.
But no matter how they looked at it, what was puzzling to everyone was that, clearly, in the waters before, a small boat like that couldn't even float. Even if there weren't any small fish around, was there no fish to eat it? Not to mention that the man was only sitting on a piece of wood.
Could it be a trap?
But if it is a trap, it must have been made by humans, otherwise how could underwater creatures have such intelligence?
So if it was really a trap, who set it up?
Just as they were discussing whether or not to go forward to rescue him, Lao Shi and the other people from the J City base suddenly felt that the man on the wooden board looked familiar. After seeing him clearly, everyone suddenly lost their composure and immediately said, "That man seems to be a superpowered person from our J City base, but how can he float on the water?"
The captains of each ship immediately asked, "Really? Did you look carefully?"
"Look carefully, this is the captain of the third superpower team." The captain of this team not only has superpowers, but also has excellent indicators. Why would he, who is so powerful, float on the water in such a miserable state? What's more, the geographical location of the J City base is very awkward. During the flood period, part of the base was buried underwater. Only when the extreme cold came, the base had a chance to breathe. Once the ice in front of the base was broken, the base could stand intact in the extreme cold.
But when the extreme heat came, the base returned to normal, so the gates were closed early and no one was allowed to go out. This was because the bases needed to help each other, so they opened the gates and sent some people out.
Even if the water level around the J City base dropped, there was almost no possibility of going out. So why was the team leader floating on the water?
Lao Shi couldn't help but think a lot. He said worriedly, "I'll go over and take a look. I suspect something happened at the base."
Something happened at the base? This is a big deal. Captain Zhang immediately said, "Don't overthink it. If something happened at the base, we should have received a distress signal. It's impossible that we don't know anything about it now. Let's go check it out."
The ship led by Brother Zhang was protecting the professor team. If it was not the closest, it would not be possible to rush to the front, so the closest ship No. 2 was allowed to go forward and check first.
Captain Zhang warned, "Put on your gas masks. Based on my experience, these dark masses are probably insects. If they attack you, use smoke to fumigate them. It usually works."
During the insect plague, when faced with large numbers of flying insects, insecticides played a big role, but smoke fumigation was also effective. After all, there was only so much insecticide, and what would happen if it ran out? Naturally, we had to save some.
On ship No. 2, the crew in the cockpit slowly drove the ship over there, while the crew on squad A not only wore gas masks, but also wrapped their entire bodies tightly.
The people on the ship wanted to pass quietly, but the ship would make a loud noise when it was moving. Soon, the black swarm of insects discovered the existence of the ship and flew towards Ship No. 2 frantically.
When the swarm of insects was about to arrive, everyone in Class A immediately used smoke.
Suddenly, the entire ship was filled with smoke.
Just when everyone thought they were safe, screams rang out.
The black mass of insects flew straight through the smoke and headed towards the ship behind.
Captain Zhang suddenly felt something was wrong. He took out his intercom and shouted to everyone, "Everyone, go back to the cabin. Everyone, go back to the cabin."
A not-so-pleasant memory came to mind. When they went to Maolin to carry out the mission, they encountered a kind of insect that could eat people. The scary thing about that insect was that after eating a person, it would not leave even a drop of blood.
The people on the boat must have been attacked by insects. Perhaps these insects did not eat people, but just bit them and caused pain, which made the people on the boat scream.
But perhaps it was the smoke that disturbed the insects' vision, which slowed down the time it took to eat them, making the screams sound particularly miserable.
But no matter what, there is no way to resist this kind of insect for the time being, so we can only hide for now.
At Brother Zhang's command, no matter whether everyone understood the situation or not, there was no need to hesitate at all and they immediately hid inside the cabin.
Everyone moved quickly, and by the time the black swarm of insects flew over, Class A was already empty.
The bugs came over but didn't find their target, so they turned around and crashed into the ship. The "click" sounds came one after another, waking up Lan Jin and others who had just fallen asleep not long ago.
In the cabin lounge, there is a piece of glass that allows you to directly see the situation on the water surface. Since the glass is light-transmitting, it is also thoughtfully equipped with a small curtain. However, the curtain is white, and the sunlight under the polar day still shines in through the curtain.
Normally, no matter what time it is, as long as you open your eyes, you should be able to see daytime. But at this moment, the insects are densely packed on the glass, so that the huge glass cannot let in any sunlight, making the lounge as dark as night.
