"No...something's wrong..."

Hope looked at the world outside the porthole with an ugly face and muttered something.

"What? What happened?"

Hansen on the side looked anxiously like a giant monkey, looking up at the porthole in front of him, trying to find what Hope said was "wrong".

"There is one missing..."

Hope's muttering came from the side.

"Wha, what?" Hansent froze on the spot and quickly cast his gaze into the distance.

The flickering orange-red light is particularly bright in the dark deep sea.

One, two, three...

Where’s the other one?!

Hansent felt his heart tremble slightly.

Something big happened!

"I said, there is a giant fish missing!!"

Hope's tone was a little restless.

He raised his hand and quickly called up all the running camera images around the ship.

In the continuous impacts just now, many cameras were damaged. Currently, only those cameras that have received heavy protection are still working.

It is also true that when the active sonar detection function is not turned on, the simulated 3D image provided by Zero also has some blind spots in the perspective.

"The first giant fish is gone!"

Hope quickly explained to his teammates: "There are only three giant fish outside now, and the full giant fish is no longer there!"

At this time, the atmosphere in the Dawn Star command center, thousands of miles away, was extremely tense.

Where did that giant fish go?

Just when everyone was confused, an orange-red light flashed from the camera on the belly of the exploration ship.

"careful!"

Lu Yongchang, who observed this scene, blurted out: "It has not left! It is by your side!"

The next moment.

"warn!"

"Collision warning!"

Electronic synthesized sounds rang in everyone's ears.

Before Hope and Hansent could react, a loud noise was heard and the familiar vibration came again.

"Damn...it's here again!!" Hope said with difficulty, resisting the dizziness, "What on earth does it want to do?!"

As he spoke, he cast his gaze toward the porthole.

Outside the porthole window, the orange-red light slowly faded away and stayed quietly in front of them. The sonar device displayed regular ultrasonic waves one after another.

It seems like it is "staring" at the [Poseidon] exploration ship.

The exploration ship gradually regained its balance and the propeller started again.

The orange-red light approaches quickly.

"Bang!"

Another violent impact!

"Zero! Shut down the power system!!"

As the world was spinning, an incredible idea flashed through Hope's mind. He didn't have time to think about it carefully, so he shouted loudly.

…

The exploration ship regained its balance again.

Hope and Hansent sat in chairs, breathing heavily and recovering their little physical strength.

After shutting down the power system, the exploration vessel hovered quietly in the ocean of liquid ammonia.

The giant deep-sea fish did not launch a third attack.

Outside the porthole window directly ahead, orange-red light flickered slowly in the distance.

Hope reached out and turned up the power of the headlights.

Under the light beam, the majestic deep-sea giant fish was floating quietly in front, "staring" at the [Poseidon] exploration ship. www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm

"Hope, why did you stop the power system?"

Lu Yongchang's voice came from the loudspeaker.

"Professor, I think it doesn't seem to want us to leave." Hope swallowed and explained while gasping.

"As long as the power system is turned on, we will be attacked."

Lu Yongchang fell into silence.

Obviously, judging from the current situation, Hope's judgment is correct.

only……

Why does it prevent exploration ships from leaving?

Just when this question first came to Lu Yongchang's mind, the situation changed again.

It personally answered Lu Yongchang’s doubts.

The sonar device showed that the giant deep-sea fish ahead emitted a series of dense ultrasonic waves.

After just a few dozen seconds, three orange-red light spots in the distance gave up the "delicious food" in front of them and quickly approached the exploration ship.

Not long after, they arrived near the exploration ship.

"Professor..." Hope's voice trembled slightly, "They, they seem to be surrounding us."

Just as Hope said, in the camera footage, four giant deep-sea fish are slowly circling around the exploration ship.

One after another very similar ultrasonic waves echoed in the sea water.

"Professor..." Hope said the guess that had long appeared in his mind.

"Do you think they use the exploration ship as a feeding machine?"

…

Inside the command center.

Lu Yongchang was stunned by Hope's words.

Later, the faces of Lu Yongchang and Mao Zhengzhi turned gloomy.

Being treated as a feeding machine is a trivial matter.

The truth hidden behind it is the top priority!

If this giant deep-sea fish can react and make a series of judgments and choices in such a short period of time, then its level of intelligence is definitely not low!

Thinking of the scene where the giant fish only focused on swallowing cesium chloride and rubidium chloride at the beginning, and then thinking of the scene where the three giant fish decisively gave up the "delicious food" in front of them and chose to outflank them, Lu Yongchang's face became even more ugly.

Now that I think about it, that must be a way to confuse the opponent!

"It can also use tricks!!"

Mao Zhengzhi next to him obviously also figured out the key point: "They are highly intelligent life forms!"

"It is still unclear whether they are highly intelligent life forms." Lu Yongchang took a deep breath and calmed his mind before saying, "At least, their level of intelligence is not low."

"Let's do a test first."

"Zero, throw out the last bait, as far as possible!"

…

Surrounded by four giant deep-sea fish, the side hatch of the exploration ship slowly opened, and a mechanical hand stretched out from it.

Then, the robot hand waved vigorously.

The bait was thrown out.

Time passed minute by minute.

"Open the bait."

Just as the bait was about to leave the control area, Lu Yongchang issued the order.

"Crack!"

The hatch of the bait opened quickly, and a large amount of cesium chloride and rubidium chloride spurted out.
