Dragon Clan, Lu Mingfei wants to reach a perfect ending

Chapter 189: When the Storm Comes (Prologue)

The waves rolled in one after another, constantly hitting the side of the ship, causing it to shake violently.

"Close the ventilators and watertight doors! Hold on to the surrounding fixed equipment and structures!"

Yuta Miyamoto immediately picked up the communicator, which was a wired communication device specially installed before setting sail. It was connected to huge loudspeakers at different locations on the ship and above the cabin.

Miyamoto Yuta's voice lasted only a few seconds before the waves, countless times faster than before, penetrated the endless mist and roared like an angry beast, violently crashing into the exploration ship.

Under the huge force of the waves, the whole ship tilted more than ten degrees to the left. The overwhelming waves poured down and submerged the detection ship. The sea water rushed onto the deck, pushing away the unfixed equipment on the deck and hitting the mast on one side of the deck. Then it rushed into the cabin and hit the sealed door of the cabin, making a huge bang.

At this moment, everyone on the ship was pulled to the left by inertia, and their bodies involuntarily flew off the ground and deviated to the left. Some crew members who were caught off guard even flew off the ground and collided with the surrounding equipment due to this inertia.

Yuta Miyamoto held on to the seat beside him with his hands as hard as steel. His A-level bloodline allowed him to still glance at other people in the cabin to observe their conditions and the surging waves outside the cabin glass at this time.

The survey ship was designed with extreme conditions at sea in mind when it was first built, and its design and material selection demonstrate its strong ability to resist wind and waves.

However, the hull can maintain a basic sailing posture in a storm thanks to its design and materials, but a person's fragile body is as fragile as tofu in a tin can in the cabin.

But all the people on the ship were mixed-race, with physical fitness far beyond that of ordinary people, so the injured crew members were only a small number after all, and most of the crew members, under the reminder of Yuta Miyamoto, held on to the fixed structures around them to ensure their own safety.

"Those who are not injured and have spare strength should catch the injured, and the rest of the crew members who are responsible for important duties should hold their posts."

Yuta Miyamoto's gaze penetrated the special glass that separated the inside and outside of the cabin. The sea level, which was relatively calm a few minutes ago, was now constantly churning, and the surging black waves and the red-black sky were stuck together.

Large patches of dark clouds gathered together, gloomy darkness permeated the clouds, thunder roared, heavy rain and continuous lightning poured down mercilessly on the sea area.

Large raindrops fell on the deck and the cabin, the ding-dong sound continued, and the temperature on the indoor thermometer continued to drop with the rain.

"Check whether the hull structure is damaged, reduce the power transmitted by the ship's main engine and slow down the propeller speed, and then tie down and reinforce all movable equipment and spare parts."

After conveying the order through the wired communication equipment, Yuta Miyamoto turned and looked at the liaison officer.

"Can we contact the destroyer?"

Miyamoto Yuta roared loudly, and amid the noise of the heavy rain and the huge waves, only the roar could be heard.

The liaison officer tightly grasped the iron casing of the radio communication equipment with his left hand, and operated it quickly with his right hand, trying to contact the destroyer that was escorting them.

But even though he had exhausted all the methods in his mind, there was no response from the radio, only the crackling sound of electricity.

"Unable to contact, Executor. The signal sent received no response."

Before the liaison officer could finish his words, another huge wave hit us, and the detection ship was hit hard to the right by the heavy force.

The sudden huge inertia caught the liaison officer off guard and sent him flying in an instant, with his back hitting the steel structure one meter away. Bloodstains appeared on his clothes the next moment.

Yuta Miyamoto loosened his grip on the seat, took two big steps forward, grabbed the liaison officer's clothes with one hand to prevent him from getting injured again, and without stopping, he lowered his center of gravity, grabbed the equipment beside him with the other hand, and dragged the liaison officer to lean against the equipment.

Under normal circumstances, Yuta Miyamoto would ask about his injuries, but there was no time now. He looked at the crew member on the side and entrusted the injured liaison to him.

"Hold him, don't let him get hit again, and what's your current condition?"

Miyamoto Yuta's last sentence was directed to the liaison officer, and the liaison officer also knew what Miyamoto Yuta meant.

"Please rest assured, my injuries are not serious and I can continue my work."

The liaison officer did not hesitate at all, and even moved his injured arm to reassure Miyamoto Yuta. However, Miyamoto Yuta keenly noticed that the muscle in his eyebrow twitched at the moment he moved.

But there was no time left to ask, so Yuta Miyamoto could only choose to believe him.

"Keep trying to contact the destroyer and transmit the information we get here to the headquarters in real time. You have to keep doing this regardless of whether there is a response or not. This is your next mission. Remember, your mission is the most important on the ship!"

"Yes, Executor!"

The liaison officer answered and climbed up with the help of the people behind him and returned to his post.

Yuta Miyamoto turned his gaze to the storm outside the cabin again, and he quickly thought about what to do next.

They are exploration ships, and even though they have been modified before setting sail, they do not have many weapons. So if they want to cause damage to the dragon under the sea, they must have the help of a destroyer, so they must contact the captain of the destroyer.

Miyamoto Yuta's golden eyes lit up. This was his normal state when he was thinking about something. His excessive concentration caused his golden eyes to open involuntarily. The next moment, the light in his eyes dimmed, but his eyes were still staring ahead like a sword drawn from its sheath.

"Use the flashlight and use the light source to send Morse code in all directions. If the destroyer is still near us, it may be able to see our signal."

However, within seconds, Yuta Miyamoto thought of a solution. However, this was just a solution among all the solutions. When the power of technology developed for hundreds of years was restricted, humans could only return to the most primitive method.

"Executor, our sound waves have responded. The sound waves we sent out have found the target."

The researcher in charge of sound wave detection held the fixed equipment beside him tightly with both hands and shouted in surprise, but then the joy in his expression was replaced by solemnity.

Because he found that the object detected by the sound waves was now 800 meters below the detection ship. The area of ​​the object detected on the screen in front of him was also increasing rapidly. The red warning kept flashing, making his face constantly switch between darkness and red.

The information displayed on the screen proved that the monster was constantly rising. Given its size, if it completely rose, it would definitely collide with the exploration ship.

The result of the collision is obvious. The exploration ship will fly out of the ocean like a ball. The whole ship will fly into the air and then fall heavily on the waves and break into several pieces.

"what happened?"

Yuta Miyamoto looked at the researcher who spoke and asked loudly. With his eyesight, he could naturally see the changes in the researcher's expression.

"It's underneath us! And it's huge, floating upwards!"

"In the foreseeable future, it will collide with us, just like a ping-pong paddle hitting a ping-pong ball, and we will fly high!"

Yuta Miyamoto let go of the equipment beside him, took another big step forward, and the next moment he grabbed another seat.

The golden eyes burned violently, and the power in his hands increased instantly. He used the strength of his arm muscles to offset the inertia, and then moved forward to the side of the researcher.

It was not until then that he could clearly see the image on the monitor. With their ship as the center, the ocean below was full of huge objects detected by sound waves. It filled the entire monitor, and the detection ship was floating on it like an abandoned duck toy.

"Executives, they can see our light language and have replied to us. They said they can't receive any radio signals and that contact with the outside world has been cut off. They asked us what we want to do now."

The crew member responsible for controlling the floodlight immediately reported to Yuta Miyamoto after receiving the reply.

Yuta Miyamoto looked at the display of the acoustic detection in front of him and received the news that he had regained contact. He was thinking about how to deal with the current situation, but suddenly he thought of something he needed to do immediately.

"Reply to them later, Chow Chow. Did we bring the latest research findings from the research institute with us on this trip?"

The researcher named Chow Shizo was located on the far left side of the cabin. After hearing Yuta Miyamoto's voice, he immediately turned around and responded.

"Yes, Executor. This is an automatic navigation rover. The battery power inside it can support the emission of electronic signals for a month and can automatically return to the set destination."

Yuta Miyamoto waved his hand and stopped Chow Chow from continuing the introduction. Instead, he gave Chow Chow a direct order.

"Use a waterproof pen to write down the situation we are experiencing now, the environment and the size of this monster, then put it on the first rover and launch it. Set up the main house as the destination."

"And every five minutes you will update our situation again, and put this information on the remaining rovers and send them out one by one. Make sure that even if we can't survive, we can still pass the information back to our family."

After receiving the order, Chow Chow did not answer, but immediately devoted himself to his task.

Yuta Miyamoto then looked at the crew member who controlled the floodlight and answered the question from the destroyer captain.

"Tell them in lantern language that the thing is right below us. Have them launch torpedoes and drop depth charges. Use all weapons that can cause damage to it."

"And they will come closer to us and ensure that messages can be transmitted steadily between us through the light source. Other matters will be handled by them independently."

Yuta Miyamoto let go of his hand, and his body fell to another place again due to inertia, but this time the ship shook violently, so he couldn't grab the place he wanted to grab.

But in order not to waste time, he chose to use his shoulder as the collision site, and then grabbed the fixed structure on the side with his other hand at the moment of collision with the equipment casing.

Yuta Miyamoto didn't have time to care about his injuries and immediately moved to the other side until he reached his captain's seat.

This ship was built by the Miyamoto family for field exploration for scientific research. According to the requirements, such research vessels should not have weapons.

However, before leaving the port, in order to increase the success rate of the plan and the survival rate of the personnel, the Longma family modified the weapon system of the ship. It was originally a detection ship, but it was temporarily equipped with weapon delivery devices and mercury depth charges specifically targeting the dragon clan.

However, such a modification is not in compliance with the regulations, so in order to avoid complications, this weapon system is set up as semi-hidden, and only Yuta Miyamoto can open it with his own authority.

After he entered a series of permission codes, the screen suddenly turned dark, and then flashed a strong red light.

"Confirmed to have the correct permissions, the weapon system is now open to you, Mr. Yuta Miyamoto."

Yuta Miyamoto hit the white button that popped up beside him hard. After he hit it, an area under the hull of the detection ship that was shaking in the waves suddenly opened, and the mercury bombs loaded in it fell into the water one after another.

At the same time, the destroyer, which was shaking in the waves, also opened the launcher. He could not receive any messages from his superiors here, so according to the plan before leaving the port, Miyamoto Yuta was his superior at this moment, so he had to execute Miyamoto Yuta's orders unconditionally.

"Captain, our radar has detected a huge object nine hundred meters below our ship, and it is still rising."

"Activate all weapon systems, drop depth charges, and launch all torpedoes."

The captain gave the order without hesitation, and the destroyer integrated with modern technology instantly entered combat posture. Countless depth charges dropped from the destroyer's launcher like dumplings and continued to sink into the deeper sea, while torpedoes were also launched one by one, rushing towards the huge target detected by the radar.

"Use the lights to inform the commissioner that we have completed the weapons placement, the distance our ship is approaching, and whether we need to do anything else."

“At the same time, increase the power and always observe the location of the lights to avoid missing them.”

The captain stared at the information about bomb dropping on the screen and gave orders to his adjutant. He raised his head and looked forward. With his naked eyes, he could not see anything through the special glass in front of him. All he could see were endless red and black waves and heavy rain falling from the sky.

Even a destroyer created by the top wisdom of mankind seems so small in the face of such a natural disaster, like a dead leaf that may be overturned at any time, and may be swallowed up without a trace by the darkness in front of it in the next moment.

Time passed by minute by minute, and all weapons were reaching their explosion positions little by little. The two ships continued to communicate through light language and kept their distance from each other, but until the expected explosion time passed, no explosion signal was received.

"Hasn't it exploded yet?"

The captain stood behind the operator, his eyes sharp, as if they could penetrate the screen and reach the deep sea.

"We didn't receive any aftermath signals from the explosion. It's as if they all disappeared."

The weapons operator looked at the calm screen in front of him. He felt as if an invisible abyss had swallowed all the weapons in an instant.

The situation on the detection ship was the same. The mercury bomb dropped did not cause any ripples. Miyamoto Yuta stared at the screen in front of him with a frown.

If the mercury bomb had exploded, the vibrations produced by the explosion would have been detected no matter how small. However, the current situation is that the screen is eerily quiet, in stark contrast to the storm and tsunami outside the cabin, making people feel a terrifying silence.

Yuta Miyamoto could hear the sound of his own heartbeat, but the silence on the screen was like a shapeless black monster tearing at every inch of his heart.

There was no news of the explosion, but the black clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker, and heavy rain continued to hit the hull, as if countless hands were hitting it violently with hammers.

The waves grew bigger and bigger, with the jet-black color reflected in the waves, turning the ocean into a swamp full of silt, silently swallowing up everything in it.
