Chapter 298 Underwater Creatures (33)
The vortex continued to swirl. Seeing that the large ship could not get close to them, the people who had just boarded the small boat became a little anxious. Looking at the large ship sailing further and further away, they could not help but shout, "Don't leave, don't leave, I don't want to die."
"Don't go, we are still here, how can you leave?"
"If I had known the water was so dangerous, I would have stayed in the building and starved to death."
"What nonsense are you talking about? If you want to starve to death, starve yourself to death. I don't want to starve to death."
"Yes, we are not starving to death, but we are surrounded by fish. Sooner or later, we will become their meal."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Hey, don't leave. We are still here. Save us."
The people on the small boat were shouting at the big ship, and the noise from the other side never stopped, it was really noisy and made people irritated.
Lao Gao shouted directly at the other end: "Shut up, stop arguing. Didn't you see the boat hit something and moved away? If you want to be rescued, stop talking nonsense."
Lao Gao's roar did have some effect. Seeing that the boat was not about to leave, no one complained even though they were being yelled at.
When the noise on the boat died down, someone immediately responded, "Hurry up, hurry up."
However, as the small fish continued to swim around, the whirlpools became more and more intense. The small boat, which had been able to stay stable in the middle, began to sway in the whirlpool for a while.
The people, who were already very anxious, all panicked when the boat started shaking.
Some people stood up from the boat and tried to find a safe place, some people tried to stand up with their bodies relaxed to balance the boat, and some people continued to sway from side to side even while sitting on the boat. Such behavior made the already shaking boat even more difficult to stop. Even though the people on the small boat kept comforting them, there was no relief at all.
Brother Zhang hurriedly shouted, "Don't stand up, lie down on the boat, lie down."
In the panic, who could still hear Brother Zhang's voice? Soon, those who stood up fell into the water. However, the strange thing was that no matter how deep the water was, a conscious person would struggle on the water surface for a while after falling in. But after these people fell into the water, there was only a sound, and then there was no movement at all.
As groups of people fell into the water and never got up again, the people on the boat realized that something was wrong.
The people on the boat said in fear: "That's not right. How come there's no movement after he fell in? My friend is a good swimmer, how come...?"
However, before it could finish its words, a strong smell of blood and bright red color spread from under the boat.
Everyone said hurriedly: "There is something under the water, ah, there is something under the water."
Of course there was something underwater, and no one had expected that someone could be dragged down without even a response.
But speaking of underwater things, such heavy rain flooded the city, and even more so the rivers, lakes, and coastal areas that are connected to the sea.
But as far as they are concerned, what can be found in the lake? Those are all kinds of edible foods raised by humans, but they really don’t know what is in the river.
When floods occur, lakes and rivers are connected, so underwater creatures can naturally move freely in various areas.
Earlier, they could eat the 'garbage' in the water to survive.
When extreme cold comes, it is quick-freeze mode again. Even if some creatures are frozen to death, there will always be some strong creatures that will enter hibernation mode. When extreme heat comes, those "fish" in hibernation will naturally be liberated and continue to prolong their lives in the water.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain how these fish they saw could still exist in this world.
After all, if this kind of thing happened before the end of the world, it would be nothing to disbelieve it, but when the end of the world came and they had seen so many strange creatures, they really felt that everything was possible.
That's getting off topic.
No matter how these things survived the extreme cold, they seemed to be very aggressive at the moment.
Lan Jin asked, "Does the ship have underwater equipment? Can we see what's underwater?"
Brother Zhang shook his head and pointed to the earphone on his left ear. He had already sent someone to check the equipment, but found nothing.
"I didn't see anything. How did these people disappear? Could they have been eaten?"
There is no doubt that it was eaten, otherwise how could such a large amount of fresh blood spread in the water?
Brother Zhang asked, "Lan Jin, can you break these fish from entwining themselves?"
Lan Jin took a look and said, "I'll try."
Then, a bolt of lightning struck the fish in front of it. After a loud "bang", the water surface splashed dozens of meters high. The people on the boat who were watching the excitement just now had to step back several steps and looked at Lan Jin in surprise.
Shen Zhiyan even said: "Your superpowers are so strong."
However, before Lan Jin could answer, the fish with their white bellies turned up in the air fell heavily to the water surface as the water shallowed. When the fish looked down, they saw that the circular gap that Lan Jin had just made not far away was immediately filled by the fish.
"It's useless." Lan Jin said somewhat disappointedly, but the school of fish that had been circling around seemed to have become much smaller because of the loss of those fish.
"It seems that it is not useless. You can solve the problem by simply blowing it up in a circle." said one of the crew members.
"But the power of thunder and lightning is too great. We just used the smallest thunder and lightning ability. If this whole circle is blown up at the same time, the boat will definitely capsize. No one knows what is under the water. If someone falls in and can't get up, who will be held responsible?" Lan Jin asked.
Brother Zhang was speechless. That definitely couldn't be counted as the base's. Of course, it definitely couldn't be counted as Lan Jin's either, so this method wasn't feasible.
Brother Zhang suddenly said, "We've done underwater surveys and can't see anything. But, is it because there's nothing there, or is it because it's too fast to be captured, or is it because it's so huge that it can't be detected?"
It would be fine if he didn't fall or ran too fast, but if he was huge—
"Let's rescue them as soon as possible and leave here quickly." Brother Zhang said anxiously.
But, this is not the ocean, and the sea is not that deep. No matter how huge the creatures in the lake are, they can't swallow a person in one bite, so Brother Zhang is just overthinking it.
But if you think about it again, it is not impossible. If there is nothing in the sea, then what about man-made ones? Who says that experiments can only be conducted on things on land? Aquatic creatures can also be used.
Lan Jin didn't want to be wiped out as soon as she came out, so she quickly said, "Is there anyone on the ship with plant-related abilities? Can they extend a vine and bring everyone here one by one?"
