Chapter 149 -148, 149: Unforgettable Scenes (Added 2 more chapters for Alliance Hierarch 如虎添翼ws)_2

Undersea volcanoes often occur at the junction of continental plates. When a volcano erupts and magma gushes out, it can raise the sea floor.

So often, an island emerges from areas along the submarine volcanic belt.

But here, it was ten thousand meters beneath the deep sea!

“In a place without magma, there’s magma!” He Xingzhou murmured, “It’s possible that the magma was excavated! The Mariana Trench is originally quite close to the mantle!”

“This…” The academicians from the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering were startled by his description of the possibility, “The Zerg can actually dig to the mantle? They actively draw out the magma?”

“It’s possible!” Song Jinhong shouted, “Think about it, so many Zerg gathered in a deep-sea trench known as the ‘Life Desert.’ The energy they consume is unimaginably enormous!”

“Just the giant sea monsters we’ve seen, they’re even larger than blue whales. What do they eat to sustain themselves?”

“The Zerg drawing out magma could be due to their ability to utilize geothermal energy!”

“Absorbing geothermal energy is something humanity can’t achieve yet!” an academician said.

“Human civilization is fundamentally inferior to the Zerg!” He Xingzhou emphasized.

Regardless, this speculation alone was enough to overturn everyone’s understanding!

In the highest conference hall in Beijing, a senior official sighed deeply, “When the Xuanwu Plan was first proposed, I wasn’t very supportive. I also thought the threat of mutant creatures wasn’t that great.”

“What we’ve witnessed today has completely overturned my understanding! I’m grateful I didn’t oppose the plan back then, or else I would be a historical criminal today!”

“We feel the same. Who could have imagined that the Zerg would be this insane!” the crowd sighed.

“Is there anything below?” He Xingzhou inquired of Ye Yun as they adjusted the Deep Diving Device’s position.

“We haven’t discovered anything yet. We’re looking for the roots of that deep-sea giant plant we saw earlier.” The Flood Dragon Submarine Armor was still slowly moving. After a few dozen minutes, it finally found the roots of the giant plant.

Everyone could clearly see that this giant plant was rooted in the seabed magma!

The temperature of the upper seawater was around 0 degrees Celsius, while the magma below was between 900 to 1200 degrees Celsius!

Neither high nor low temperatures could harm it.

“It can absorb the energy of the magma!”

“Never before has such a life form appeared on Blue Star!” The biologists realized that the knowledge they had acquired was completely ineffective in the face of Zerg life and this deep-sea giant plant!

This subverted the entire ecological knowledge of Blue Star!

“We guessed right.” He Xingzhou confirmed, “Without absorbing geothermal energy, they wouldn’t be able to grow this fast!”

“We can take samples back now,” he said, “It’s best to pick a ‘fruit’ and bring it back for research!”

“Alright, let’s find an appropriate target.” Ye Yun and the others began selecting their target. There were many Zerg patrolling here, so they needed to quietly remove a fruit.

To avoid being slowed down, they had to choose a smaller fruit.

After a search, the Flood Dragon Submarine Armor confirmed its target: a fruit located approximately ten thousand meters deep, newly developed.

Inside the fruit was a creature about the size of a human, with its physiological characteristics not fully apparent yet, making it the perfect opportunity.

The deep diving device quietly approached, and everyone held their breath, afraid of alarming the Zerg.

Finally, the deep diving device neared the target and extended its sampling mechanical arm.

Using arc cutting, it severed the connection between the fruit and the giant plant.

Immediately, red sap spread into the seawater.

But the wounds on both the plant and the fruit were healing rapidly!

The deep diving device’s net captured the smaller fruit and began its escape.

“Did we get it?” Just as everyone was about to relax, they suddenly saw the deep-sea giant plant gently sway.

Immediately, numerous Zerg swam in this direction.

“We’ve been discovered, ascend quickly!” He Xingzhou shouted, “Full power!”

The marine thrusters were set to maximum power; the deep diving device jettisoned its ballast material entirely, and the water inside the ballast tanks was completely expelled.

The ultra-pressure-resistant nanometer buoyancy ceramics bore the immense pressure of the deep sea as it rapidly ascended. Through the detector, countless massive creatures and a dark mass of the Zerg were seen charging forward.

The scene was like a lone person in an apocalyptic world, about to be completely overwhelmed by a horde of zombies!

At that moment, the group witnessed a sight they would never forget!

At the trench’s bottom, 11,000 meters underwater, in the seabed magma, a portion of a giant creature’s body was revealed, just one claw comparable in size to a Destroyer!

Yet its full form couldn’t be seen, obscured by the dense swarm of Zerg!

“It’s in the magma!” was the first thought that appeared in everyone’s minds!

“There’s something down there!” Lei Yuanfeng stood up abruptly in the Xuanwu Base and shouted, “That thing is scarier than the sea monsters and Zerg we’ve seen!”

“You’re right,” Qin Peng responded, “But we can’t discern its exact shape. Just seeing this much with the deep diving device is our best effort.”

“We don’t yet have the technology to detect in magma.” He Hongwei said bitterly, as the enormous claw cast a shadow over his heart, making humanity’s technological creations seem like toys in its presence!

“Good thing we cut off the live broadcast.” Lv Mei sighed into the communicator, “Otherwise, if the entire nation saw this, society would be in chaos!”

“Yes,” Cui Weimin replied, “It’s important to tell everyone the truth, but if our opponent is too powerful, it will bring about despair!”

At this moment, the Flood Dragon Submarine Armor was still accelerating its ascent. The higher it ascended, the less pressure it endured, and the faster its speed became.

Behind it was a dense mass, the Zerg and mutant creatures, tracking this “spy!”

“Quick, provide cover!” Xue Yang commanded the fleet to attack.

“Boom, boom, boom…” The cannons from a dozen ships launched fish bombs, depth charges, and other weapons.

The explosions in the black mist instantly turned the sea red, littering it with the shattered limbs of destroyed creatures.

But within a second, the blood-red seawater vanished without a trace, as the Zerg and mutant creatures behind devoured their comrades’ remains and blood completely!

“Launch the tethers!” Ye Yun shouted, “There are too many monsters. We can’t tow the net directly; otherwise, the ship would be lost!”

With so many mutant creatures and giant sea monsters, if they burst through the sea surface, it wouldn’t just be these research ships; even those battleships and Escort Ships might not withstand it!

The research ship launched tethers equipped with propulsion and traction cabins, connected by towing cables. Once in contact with the deep diving device, they could magnetically connect and speed away.

Over a dozen tethers simultaneously descended, rapidly approaching the Flood Dragon Submarine Armor!

Meanwhile, the warships continued firing torpedoes and other weapons to block the Zerg pursuit. Some mutant creatures were particularly fast, even ramming the deep diving device, and if not for its sturdy shell, it might have been sunk!

The tension of the scene left He Xingzhou and others nervously gripping their seats.

Among the fleet, the shadows of several massive creatures could be faintly seen.

“Captain, the underwater weapons can’t hold them back!” the crew urgently reported, “At this rate, they’ll reach us in five minutes!”

“Retreat!” Xue Yang decided decisively, realizing that if they got entangled with the Zerg, even modern ocean warships couldn’t escape.

“All ships, follow orders, retreat completely, continue bombarding as cover! Empty the ammunition depot for me!”

“Professor Ye, have your research ships withdraw as well!”

He thought it through, shouting, “If we don’t evacuate in time, even if we retrieve the deep diving device, it will be sunk! Retreat first, then let the tethers handle it!”

“That’s the only option! Set sail quickly!” Ye Yun shouted, watching the monitor as the nearest tether was about to reach the deep diving device.

With the strong magnetism, the two connected, and the tether’s thruster and towing cable pulled the deep diving device to run swiftly.

“We’ve got it! Full power ahead!” Ye Yun shouted.

“Support fleet, begin the reception!” Qin Peng at the Xuanwu Base commanded the support fleet to assist.

At this moment, the monsters were close to the sea surface. From the drone footage, it was visible that the ocean behind the fleet was filled with black! There were countless Zerg and mutant creatures there!
