"Are there any other weapons? Any weapon that can be fired will do!"
Kuroda Hei shouted to Director Makino.
The latter paused for a moment and then thought that there were still some decoy bombs left to deal with the torpedo just now.
However, when two shimmering arcs appeared in the black iron-colored deep sea, the deep diver clinging to the power ring did not waver at all. He still held on to the power ring and swam in the opposite direction of the current.
As the power reserve in the base dropped rapidly, the staff in the main control room began to panic.
Most people proposed that the lifting and dismantling of offshore platforms should be eliminated, and the remaining power should be given priority to maintaining lighting in the base.
In this way, even if the deep divers invade, the people in the base can make a last-ditch effort with the weapons around them.
And if you continue to maintain the lifting and lowering of the offshore platform, it can only be maintained for 10 minutes.
Once 10 minutes are up, the entire base will plunge into darkness without any light source. Add in the invading deep divers, and it will be a scene ten thousand times more terrifying than death itself.
No one wants to go through this.
After listening to his subordinate's suggestion, Director Makino could only nod and accept it.
However, once the Pacific Buoy server is shut down, it will take at least a day to restart.
But at this time of life and death, no one cares about this anymore.
But at this moment, Dr. Ali, who was sitting in front of the operating desk, suddenly shouted: "Someone is talking on the public channel!"
The next second, Hiroki Sawada transmitted his voice to the public speaker in the main control room.
"Pacific Buoy, Pacific Buoy..."
"This is the Aegis-class destroyer Hotaka. I have arrived in the waters near Kohachijo Island..."
"The visibility on the sea surface is too low, please report your specific location!"
When they heard the other party's solemn voice, everyone in the control room instantly showed excited expressions.
Support has finally arrived!
"This is the Pacific Buoy! I am Director Makino Yosuke!"
"We are being attacked by unknown creatures, please support us immediately!"
"The specific coordinates are..."
When Makino reported the coordinates via radio, the Hotaka's CIC (Combat Information Center) on the other side responded immediately.
"Bearing 45°, distance 5000, launch signal flare!"
"Glowing flare, launch!"
"emission!"
Bang!
As a shimmering arc rose into the air, intense white light lit up the dark sea surface.
In the captain's room on the bridge, Conan grabbed the edge of the window sill with both hands and stared nervously in that direction.
The area directly below the flare suddenly became like daylight, and a huge fortress standing on the sea suddenly appeared.
This is the Pacific Buoy...
Because the offshore platform part of the Pacific Buoy has no power supply, and there are storms on the sea, visibility is very poor.
With the help of signal flares, this base, which should have been very conspicuous, was discovered.
Beside Conan, the captain of the Hotaka was observing the situation of the offshore platform with a telescope.
After a moment, his body shivered subconsciously, and he murmured in surprise.
"What is that..."
When Conan next to him heard this, he quickly adjusted his high-tech glasses to telescope mode, and then he could clearly see the situation on the offshore platform.
The platform was almost crowded with humanoid monsters with gray-green bodies. They were carrying huge fish heads and jumping around in disorder on the platform.
This is……
Conan suddenly remembered that Qin Zhibo once said about a kind of marine creature called "deep diver", which was very similar to this one.
More importantly, Cthulhu is the object of worship of the deep diver race. If the purpose of the organization is to resurrect Cthulhu, then the deep divers have reason to attack the Pacific buoy.
"Mr. Captain, they are deep divers, a kind of sea creature!"
"They're invading Pacific buoys!"
The captain glanced at the elementary school student next to him.
Although he didn't know the identity of this elementary school student, the order that the other party could board the ship was given through senior officials of the Self-Defense Forces, so his identity must be unusual.
And even if Conan didn't say anything, he still planned to order an attack.
"Everyone is ready to fight on land!"
"Send SH60K helicopter to confirm the situation of the offshore platform! The ship's direction is adjusted to a ready attack posture!"
As the captain issued a series of orders, CIC immediately responded, adjusting the direction of the Hotaka and pointing the ship's bow in the direction of the Pacific buoy.
The latest chapter of this novel is first released, please go and read it!
At the same time, the helicopter on the ship took off and flew in the direction of the Pacific buoy.
As the helicopter arrived above the platform, the first-hand surveillance footage was transmitted back to the large screen on the bridge.
Everyone on the ship also saw the true appearance of the deep diver for the first time.
The blurry figures gathered into a mass of black mass, all gathered at the edge of the center of the offshore platform.
Under the illumination of the flare, it looked like a loach with only longer legs crawling around, making it uncomfortable even when viewed through the screen.
Upon seeing this, the captain no longer hesitated and immediately ordered the attack.
As the ship's bow gun finally adjusted its direction, a series of gunfire spurted out from the muzzle.
These gunfires drew a perfect arc in the night sky, and then bloomed at the location of the crash, which was the offshore platform.
boom!
boom!
In an instant, the platform was filled with fire, and the figures of countless deep divers were swallowed up by the intense light and heat.
The distinctive high-pitched roar of the Deep Ones resounded throughout the platform.
At the same time, everyone in the main control room suddenly felt the base begin to tremble and a low roar echoed throughout the base, and understood that this was the start of the attack by the Hotaka.
Fortunately, the platform part of the Pacific Buoy is relatively solidly built and can withstand attacks from ordinary small-caliber artillery.
Qin Zhibo stood by the window, looking at the deep divers lurking in the deep sea.
The deep divers in the sea suddenly stopped their hands and feet the moment the ship started to attack, and their ugly fish heads froze, as if they were receiving some order.
After a few seconds, they broke away from the power generation ring in unison and swam towards the depths of the sea.
On the sea platform, after the first round of artillery fire washed away the ground, the remaining deep divers who were still alive rushed to jump into the sea, looking like they were fleeing in embarrassment.
When they saw this scene through the surveillance camera, everyone in the main control room couldn't help but cheer.
"Win!"
"We drove away those monsters!"
Similarly, in the bridge room of the Hotaka, Conan also breathed a sigh of relief.
…
With the power generation ring operating again, normal power supply was restored to the entire Pacific buoy.
Director Makino immediately organized manpower to carry out rescue operations and investigate the remaining deep divers in the base.
Qin Zhibo and others arrived at the devastated offshore platform through the lifting platform and saw the Hodaka, which came to support.
In addition to the captain and two crew members, those who disembarked from the ship also had Conan who came with the ship.
