Chapter 755
Chapter 755: Chapter 683: Breath Chapter 755: Chapter 683: Breath Aircraft carriers that can carry up to one hundred thousand tons are classified as super aircraft carriers.
However, in the ocean, there are countless ships larger than aircraft carriers by displacement.@@novelbin@@
Apart from those freighters, the top specifications among cruise ships also far exceed those of aircraft carriers.
The Pioneer was such a luxury cruise ship with a displacement of two hundred thousand tons—five times that of the Titanic—with a three hundred and sixty-meter-long deck spanning sixteen stories, capable of accommodating two thousand crew members and five thousand passengers.
And this voyage was Pioneer’s maiden voyage.
However, during its maiden voyage, it unexpectedly encountered a storm and entered an unknown area of the sea…
“Where the hell did that damn storm take us?”
The captain of the Pioneer, seeing the unfamiliar seas after the storm and the completely nonfunctional GPS, also felt unusually irritable.
“Has the distress signal been sent out?”
“It has, but the previous storm damaged our reception antenna.
We can’t receive anyone’s signals, and the GPS system is also broken…”
“Calm the passengers first.
Announce over the intercom that the problem is minor and not to panic…”
Looking at the night outside, looking at the dark, undulating, unfamiliar ocean, the captain couldn’t help but sigh, worry flashing in his eyes.
At that moment, a crew member urgently spoke up,
“Captain, the sonar is showing something approaching at high speed!”
Indeed, the cruise ship lived up to its specifications, with all its equipment being quite advanced.
At this point, the captain quickly walked over to the crew member’s side, looking at the screen with its beeping signal, a hint of tension appearing in his eyes.
Just as he feared, his bad premonition was coming true…
What on earth was this thing?
It was huge and fast!
It was coming from beneath the sea!
After all, being only the captain of a cruise ship, and not some military expert, he seemed somewhat at a loss.
But before they could react, a loud bang—
A violent collision caused the two-hundred-thousand-ton cruise ship to shake noticeably!
In the bridge, items flew around chaotically; a coffee cup smashed against the wall and shattered, leaving a large stain.
This made the captain feel incredulous.
“This is a two-hundred-thousand-ton cruise ship!
Two hundred thousand tons!”
It could be said that even in a typhoon, this cruise ship could navigate smoothly, only appearing slightly bumpy.
But now, whatever it was that had collided with them at high speed had caused such severe oscillation, which was quite incredible.
Originally, arriving in an unknown area of the sea because of the storm had already made the passengers uneasy.
Now, suffering such a heavy blow directly led to the uninformed passengers fearing that the ship might be sinking.
Many people started running towards the exits, and this even led to a trampling incident.
Screams and cries mixed in the air, further intensifying the panic.
Some people even began blindly rushing towards the lifeboat locations…
…
With the help of the sea breeze, the sailboat cut through the waves.
Although night had fallen, it didn’t pose any problem for the few people aboard.
The storm had subsided, but the dark sea still churned with considerable waves, occasionally slapping against the bow of the boat.
“There it is, right ahead.
Wow, that’s a huge ship…”
While piloting the boat, Thomas was also multitasking, observing the drone footage.
While the others onboard couldn’t see the ship due to the fragmented horizon, he had already spotted that colossal vessel out at sea.
“Goodness, it’s even bigger than the aircraft carrier, but something seems off—it’s too quiet.”
Thomas’s expression showed some hesitation.
Although the drone saw that the ship was still brightly lit, standing out strikingly in the night.
Yet the quietly floating vessel gave a sense of “quietness.”
And not to mention Thomas, Tao Yu on board, exchanging the elemental energy of heaven and earth, also suddenly detected a different aura.
It seemed that the surrounding elemental energy had undergone some changes, acquiring an odd and sinister feel.
Moreover, the direction of this bizarre and sinister sensation was directly coming from ahead.
“Is there something wrong with that ship…
a ghost ship maybe?”
Tao Yu pondered, yet he did not make a sound.
His own divination had shown a minor auspicious sign, and from the current aura, it shouldn’t pose a threat to him.
“Don’t scare it away, let’s see what it is first…”
This strange and elusive feeling made Tao Yu vaguely sense some familiarity.
Though he had never encountered this aura before, its nature seemed somewhat similar to that of the Evil God believers!
“An Evil God believers’ Blood Sacrifice?
Or something else?
The few encounters I had before did not affect the elemental forces even from this distance; this is a big deal…”
Even though the change wasn’t significant, and others hadn’t noticed it yet, the reaction at this distance was sufficient to hint at its scale.
And the subsequent changes also confirmed Tao Yu’s guess.
As the ship got closer, the bizarre polluted aura thickened slightly, but overall, the change wasn’t significant.
This indicated that the core of the substance was large and expansive, but not refined or dense.
“Fortunately, this chaotic aura, I can only determine it approximately…”
Now, on the sailing yacht, they could also see that massive ship on the sea from afar.
Tao Yu, who had felt the aura long before, found he couldn’t pinpoint it completely as they drew closer.
Just like divining for highly polluted substances, it’s easy to get muddled.
Now Tao Yu felt that the entire ship was filled with that faint polluted feel, disorganized and sporadic.
“Send a drone to check it out.”
At this moment, Ye Rong also made her arrangement.
And since Thomas was essentially a professional in support, he didn’t hesitate when he heard the instruction.
However, as his drone drew closer, it suddenly emitted a beeping sound and, just before losing control, he managed to pull it back with his control.
“Not possible, there seems to be some chaotic electromagnetic interference on that ship; my drone can’t enter.”
Thomas said frantically.
Hearing about the interference, Ye Feng’s brow furrowed slightly.
“This looks like a trap.”
“I don’t think so; if it really were a trap set by the Pioneer, it wouldn’t be so obvious, nor would it create such an abnormal target.”
Ye Rong also voiced her opinion.
“Maybe that’s exactly what they are counting on, your line of thinking?”
“That could be…”
Ye Rong didn’t argue.
The sea surface ahead was still so gloomy, bringing a subtle sense of unease.
“There’s a smell of blood on the ship, and it’s strong, probably from a recent death, and the resentment is heavy.”
Tao Yu also briefly shared some information he had gathered.
It was indeed a Blood Sacrifice!
And it was a very rough, very primitive method.
Tao Yu also felt that the covert gaze seemed to have locked onto their ship already, something was coming over…
What do you think?
