Chapter 728: Human Fleet
The legendary clam girl once caused a great uproar in the coastal countries. After seeing the clam girl, many powerful people in the coastal areas of the zombie zone were excited and sent a large number of ships to look for the legendary clam girl clan. Even the mermaids who had never appeared began to appear in everyone's mind.
Most of these searches for clam girls are the navies of the remaining coastal countries. Maybe some people think that since they have been forced to survive by the zombies, why do they still want to look for clam girls? In fact, just like struggling to survive and enjoy after the end of the world, no one knows when they will die, so enjoying themselves wildly and freely before death becomes the most important thing.
If you want to say which country has the strongest navy and the most warships in the nearby waters, it must be Yunguo. Yunguo is a coastal power. After the zombie crisis, it has become the largest country in the surrounding area. At the same time, it is also the closest to the sea where the clam girl appears.
On the calm sea, ten wooden warships sailed against the wind and waves. There was a huge word "cloud" written on the huge sails. Fully armed soldiers stood on both sides of the warships, and they sailed straight to the island waters where the clam girl was.
The hulls of these ten warships are relatively wide, and the bows are raised high. The bow at the front is a sculpture of a monster with its mouth open and roaring. The ships are very large, and each ship can carry at least one hundred fully armed soldiers. Heavy crossbows are installed on both sides of the ship. Unlike ordinary heavy crossbows, these heavy crossbows are larger and thicker. In addition, there is a catapult at the bow, and several round stones are piled next to it, about the size of a TV, which shows that the power is definitely not low.
At the bow, two officials in gorgeous clothes stood.
"General Zhao, I don't know when we can find those witches." One of the officials wearing a purple cloak said to the general wearing light armor beside him.
"It's hard to say. A fisherman once saw a witch on a nearby island, but the specific location is unknown. The sea is unpredictable and the wind and rain are ruthless. We will try our best to search. If we can't find it, we can't do anything. Please ask Lord Wu to explain the situation to the emperor at that time." The general said lightly, in fact, saying this also has the suspicion of shirking his own incompetence. The emperor wants to play with the clam girl, but where can he find her in the vast ocean? What we need to do now is to find a way to transfer the emperor's anger to the ministers in charge of this operation. If it weren't for these damn ministers talking nonsense, there would be no such thing today.
"If we can't find the witch, the emperor will punish the two of us. Now we can only try our best to search for the witch. I am just a civil official. I don't have any good ideas on the sea. I can only rely on General Zhao for everything."
It's just shirking responsibility. Civil officials are best at it. General Zhao really wants to kick Mr. Wu into the sea. Where can you find a clam girl in the vast sea? Once you encounter a storm or a sea monster, these people will all be buried in the sea and die without a complete body. Now that zombies are rampant and everyone is in danger, they still waste time and manpower to search for a witch. Shaking his head, General Zhao stopped talking.
No one noticed that a high-altitude unmanned reconnaissance aircraft was tracking the fleet in the sky higher than the clouds above the fleet...
The magic cube was a little annoyed after receiving the message from the high-altitude drone. Why don't you go fishing in the coastal area and run to the deep sea? Will those sea monsters and fishmen welcome you? They are so idle that they don't want to die. Instead of thinking about how to kill zombies and live well, they think about how to catch clam girls every day, or just go to the deep sea to search for mermaids.
"Sink a ship to warn them not to enter the deep sea."
"Command confirmed."
The Cube still has to live its own life at home, so how can it have time to play with them? It's better to hand the task over to the drone. Anyway, the bombs mounted are enough to sink a large warship.
After receiving the order, the high-altitude drone opened the hook and dropped a precision-guided bomb. The bomb fell quickly, and soon, it whistled through the clouds...
At the bow, the two officials were still glaring at each other.
"General, look! Something is falling from the sky!" An archer pointed to the sky and shouted.
The two officials and other sailors looked up at the sky. Sure enough, a small black dot was getting bigger and falling quickly. Somehow, General Zhao always felt that there was something wrong with that thing. How could something fall from the sky? Just as he was thinking about what it was, the precision-guided bomb that was falling rapidly was clearly visible!
The tail fuse of the bomb rotated at high speed, and after a slight adjustment, it fell straight to a large ship in the middle of the fleet, and that large ship was the ship where the two officers were...
Bang! General Zhao saw a big hole suddenly smashed on the deck in front of him, as if something had drilled into the warship. In less than a second, a fire suddenly rose in front of him, and General Zhao lost consciousness instantly.
Boom! !
The largest and most luxurious warship exploded in the middle, and the flying hull planks even flew to the two nearby warships. The violent explosion shattered the middle of the warship and the seawater poured into the cabin fiercely. Many sailors who were not killed or stunned by the bomb jumped into the sea and swam to other warships in a hurry regardless of the danger in the water. The fire surrounded the hull that was still exposed on the water and burned wildly. No one cared about whether the adults or generals fought hard to save their own lives. The life and death of others was other people's business, and their own survival was the most important.
Under the clear sea, the dead sailors sank rapidly into the deep sea because of the heavy weapons. Their unwilling eyes and open limbs seemed to be struggling before death. Various heavy crossbows, iron tools and other heavy objects sank with bubbles. The sun shone into the water from the sea surface, and the light swayed slightly with the waves. Looking up from the water, you can see sailors desperately swimming towards other large ships, and their struggling limbs stirred up circles of ripples on the water surface...
On the sea surface, a purple cloak drifted with the waves.
The fleet had to stop searching for the clam girl. The naval commander General Zhao died, and Lord Wu sent by the Ministry of War also died. A deputy general took temporary command and turned the bow to the coast without saying a word. Today's incident revealed a sense of weirdness no matter how you look at it. A black head fell inexplicably, hit the warship and blew it into two pieces and sank to the bottom of the sea. It was not a small wooden boat or a merchant ship, but a specially thickened warship! Even if the stones thrown by the catapult hit it, it would not be possible to sink it, but it exploded inexplicably. Anyway, the chief officer was dead, and the deputy general simply returned with the fleet.
A few days later.
In the coastal country of Yunguo, the ministers in the magnificent court learned that the warship suddenly exploded and sank strangely and two senior officials died. They started arguing, spitting and red-eared. Some said that it was better not to go deep into the sea because of the danger. If you have time and money, you might as well build a wall to block the entry of zombies. Anyway, this is a good suggestion.
Another opinion is not so good. It is proposed to send more warships and send experts to continue to go deep into the sea to search for the witch. The death of two senior officials in Yunguo cannot be let go.
