Chapter 714: Chapter 389 Messages from the Gods_2
But this time, the situation still greatly exceeded their expectations.
As they saw the drones gradually ascend.
The middle-aged man’s frown deepened, and his heart was filled with growing unease.
He appeared calm on the surface,
because he was the commanding officer, the strongest person there.
If even he panicked,
morale would completely collapse. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
But that didn’t mean he wasn’t afraid.
Especially after the previous abnormality…
Just thinking of that monstrous shadow which blotted out the sky and the terrifying strength that crushed warships of tens of thousands of tons made his heart tighten.
He instinctively looked towards the combat personnel not far away, who were reporting to headquarters.
Seeing the other side nod slightly, signaling that help had been requested, he felt somewhat relieved.
No matter what…..
They had to hold on for 10 minutes.
With headquarters’ speed, 10 minutes was enough to dispatch high-level combat personnel to the scene.
With that thought in mind,
the middle-aged man withdrew his gaze and looked down at the control stick in his hand.
However,
it was just a glance,
and it made his eyes widen and his body stiffen immediately.
The central screen was displaying the images detected by the drone.
At this moment,
as the drone continued to rise,
the island only occupied the center of the screen, not even exceeding half the entire view.
From this,
the middle-aged man could also see what was happening under the sea surrounding the island.
The waters under the island were gradually cloaked in shadow and no longer azure blue.
It seemed something was rapidly approaching from below.
Then,
a black line, entered his sight.
Its length was enough to stretch across both sides of the island.
Around this line were snowy white pupils.
Looking further out…
The middle-aged man’s breathing suddenly became very heavy.
A chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, as if his blood was about to freeze solid.
“Everyone!!”
The middle-aged man tossed away the control stick and turned to the combat personnel who had not yet had the chance to scatter.
His expression was ferocious as he bellowed,
“Evade!!!”
Evade what?
The sudden shout from the middle-aged man made confusion flash across the faces of the people around him.
Then,
as combat personnel, they reacted quickly.
But… it was already too late.
Boom!
The island trembled violently.
Everyone’s vision spun.
An intense feeling of weightlessness filled everyone’s minds.
It seemed as if a massive creature was exerting its strength from the sea bed, preparing to flip the entire island.
And indeed,
it was as they feared.
As the waves continued to rise,
when the water turned into a downpour,
the giant shadow that had previously destroyed the warships gradually filled everyone’s view.
It was a massive tentacle, fiercely slapping down from above.
Seeing this scene,
the middle-aged man’s body hardened, his face blank.
It wasn’t just him,
all the surrounding combat personnel wore the same expression.
What kind of colossal monster was this?
This was not something they could resist at all.
Facing the massive tentacle that seemed to cover the sky and sun, not a single soul on the scene could muster any thought of resistance or even evasion.
All they could do was stand still,
feeling despair envelop their hearts,
sensing the strong wind pressing down from above their heads.
Then,
they watched the tentacle draw nearer, until it completely crushed them—
Boom!!!
The roaring sound was deafening.
The massive tremors that came from the ground threw the middle-aged man off balance, causing him to fall and sit on the ground.
All was pitch black before him.
The middle-aged man closed his eyes tightly, not daring to face the arrival of death.
However,
his body didn’t feel any discomfort.
And around him,
it was eerily quiet.
Only the sound of the tentacles writhing occasionally broke the silence.
He hadn’t died?
His eyes, which had been tightly shut, slowly opened.
Shadows still enveloped everything he could see.
The middle-aged man looked up,
and shock filled his face instantly.
The massive tentacle had halted abruptly right above his head.
What was happening?
Confusion rose from the depths of his heart.
The middle-aged man quickly looked around,
and then,
he saw a figure.
Compared to all the combat personnel sitting scattered on the ground,
the relaxed standing posture of the other person was very striking.
That was a young man.
His arm was raised, like a firm barrier between the tentacle and the ground, preventing the tentacle from moving any further, no matter how much force it applied.
On the other hand,
he was holding a phone, with his thumb tapping the screen continuously.
“You—”
The middle-aged man did not know who this extraordinary person was and had never seen this face before.
He wanted to ask if the other person was human.
But before he could finish,
he saw the young man put away his phone and turn around.
“You, arrange a rescue.”
“I’ll handle things here.”
“As for the follow-up matters, someone will inform you.”
The young man casually finished giving orders and then put his phone back into his pocket.
Immediately after,
a scene unfolded before the middle-aged man that was even more unbelievable than the young man’s casual stance.
The young man leaped lightly,
his figure swiftly ascending.
The octopus, which had been so massive that it crushed the will to resist of all who saw it, was forcibly dragged up from the sea by him, and it gradually shrank in the eyes of the onlookers.
“Captain… Captain, was that God who appeared just now?”
Not far away,
a communication soldier who had also narrowly escaped asked in a murmur.
“I don’t know.”
“Probably….was.”
Watching Chen Sheng’s departing figure,
the middle-aged man suddenly remembered a conversation he had had with a colleague.
“Let me tell you a secret.”
“If you encounter a terrifying enemy on a mission, pray loudly to the gods.”
“It might just work.”
