In the main control room, after a brief silence, several low-willed staff members exclaimed.
In addition to Qin Zhihiro, Kuroda Bei, the Akai family, and Director Makino also widened their eyes and stared in disbelief at the ugly and repulsive fish face on the big screen.
The ugly face and rickety body look very much like the kappa in Japanese monster legends, or the fish-man worshiped by the Phoenicians.
In short, it can never be human...
"This is the Deep One."
A voice of reason brings back everyone's sanity.
Everyone turned to look at Qin Zhibo, and Akai Marie among them asked: "What?"
"The Deep Ones, an intelligent race that lives in the deep sea."
"But they usually don't land on land..."
This is not the first time Qin Zhibo has seen deep divers. Whether they are half-human, half-deep divers or full-body deep divers, he has seen them all with his own eyes.
But deep divers are a race that lives in the deep sea. Especially in modern times, their activities have been very low-key.
Let alone boarding an offshore platform built by humans.
In the surveillance picture on the big screen, a rickety half-human, half-fish was walking on a trestle in a storm, with black iron-colored waves washing around its flippers. This picture was truly eerie and creepy.
Fortunately, there is no one on the offshore platform now, so there is nothing wrong with letting him come up for a walk.
But I'm just afraid that it's not here for a walk...
Just as Qin Zhibo was thinking this, the next second on other split-screen surveillance screens, dozens of deep divers were spotted climbing onto the offshore platform from the entrance to the small ship.
They climbed to the shore, stepped on the steps with their huge webbed feet, and made a "chirp, chirp, chirp" sound, walking in groups like zombies along the circular trestle toward the hollow square in the center.
"What are they going to do?"
"That's the entrance to the underwater base, and it's now closed..."
As soon as Director Makino finished speaking, his pupils suddenly trembled as he seemed to have thought of something in his mind.
"not good!"
"Could it be that they want to enter the base through the ventilation duct!"
Kuroda turned to look at Makino and repeated, "Ventilation duct?"
The latter immediately came to the nearest operating table and transferred the structural blueprint of the central square to the large central screen.
"There are a large number of ventilation holes distributed on the fortress structure next to this downward elevator passage..."
"And these ventilation holes can lead to various ventilation ducts inside the base!"
On the blueprint on the big screen, starting from the central square of the sea platform, the blue current extends to all directions of the base like a spider web.
Seeing this schematic diagram, Kuroda Bingwei frowned slightly and asked: "Aren't there any defensive measures in these ventilation ducts?"
Director Makino shook his head, "No, because at the beginning of the design of this base, it was considered that humans would not be able to sneak into the base along these pipes..."
"But these are obviously not human beings." Akai Mari raised her head and stared at the big screen with a serious face.
At this time, it can be clearly seen from the surveillance screen that the first batch of deep divers have arrived at the large concave hole in the central square and calmly jumped into the sea water in front of them.
In the back, there are deep divers climbing ashore from the entrance in a steady stream, walking along the circular trestle toward the center like monsters in a tower defense game.
Hiroki Sawada immediately called all the cameras on the offshore platform to count the number of deep divers. The number of deep divers in the picture currently exceeds 200!
Even the ship entrance seems to have a monster spawner installed, and the number is constantly being refreshed!
The next second, the red alarm sounded again throughout the base.
Director Makino immediately announced the situation to all personnel in the base in the briefest possible words.
"All personnel immediately go to the nearest closed cabin to take refuge and wait for rescue!"
"Repeat, everyone..."
Director Makino issued an evacuation notice, because apart from the logistics support personnel on the Pacific buoy, civilians like him had almost no combat effectiveness.
Moreover, facing this kind of monster, it is difficult for ordinary people to form effective fighting power. Just being scared will scare them half to death.
The staff in the base did not understand the current situation because they could not see the situation on the sea, so the evacuation speed was not very fast.
Director Makino could only urge everyone to act as quickly as possible through the radio.
Seeing this, Akai Muwu asked Makino: "Are there any weapons available in this base?"
"There is a weapons room, but the weapons are not very easy to use..."
"Not much is better than nothing. Where is the weapons room?"
Qin Zhibo continued to ask.
…
After a while, Qin Zhibo, the Akai family, and Kuroda Hei rushed to the weapons room.
Hiroki Sawada opened the hatch through remote control. There were many things in the 20-square-meter weapons room, but most of them were anti-riot weapons.
For example, riot shields, batons, electric batons, and anti-riot forks are all weapons used to suppress riots and are non-lethal.
The only two shotguns equipped with only rubber bullets.
In order to strictly abide by international law and avoid being regarded as a military base, there is no live ammunition on the Pacific buoy.
Qin Zhibo took a look at the available weapons and felt that his own [Oath Keeping Sword] was more reliable.
However, in order to avoid suspicion, he still symbolically picked up an electric baton.
Two shotguns equipped with rubber bullets were held by Shuichi Akai and Mari Akai respectively.
Akai Mutake and Kuroda Heiwei each held a riot fork and the other held a riot shield.
After everyone finished selecting their weapons, a report came from the earphones that the deep divers had invaded the base.
"Three deep divers in area A are attacking the office area!"
"Six deep divers in Area B are attacking the infirmary!"
"There are also four deep divers in Area C..."
Director Makino's voice was very anxious, because from his perspective, he could see the deep divers starting to attack the staff in the base.
Although he has issued an evacuation notice, these ventilation ducts extend in all directions. Even if you hide in a closed cabin, you can directly parachute into the cabin through the air-conditioning ducts.
The five people in the weapons room looked at each other and immediately assigned areas for support.
Akai Mutake and Kuroda Hei are in charge of area A, and Akai Shuichi and Akai Mari are in charge of area C.
Qin Zhibo is in charge of Area B, which has the largest number of deep divers.
Several people separated at the door of the weapons room and ran towards their respective support areas.
After being separated from the main force for a while, Qin Zhibo pulled out his "big sword" from the tool list.
Although deep divers look stupid, their intelligence is no less than that of humans, they are extremely powerful, and their agility is higher than the average human level.
Fortunately, this race is mortal and is still afraid of physical attacks.
Just as Qin Zhibo was running wildly in the corridor with his sword, the cover of the gusset plate on the ceiling in front suddenly fell down.
A deep diver jumped down from the dark hole and landed steadily on the bright corridor.
