“We need to withdraw a bit farther, these guys can overturn our research vessel!”
Beck saw the monster that was twice the size of a blue whale appearing on the screen, and he began to feel uneasy.
He said, “Let’s transfer to the ship first, let the crew operate the research vessel.”
“To the mothership?” The experts exclaimed in delight, the mothership to them represented the safest place here!
This was the most powerful ship humanity had, with nuclear power and the capability to launch nuclear missiles!
“Yes, to the mothership!” Beck immediately contacted Harvey, saying, “We are concerned that the research vessel’s load capacity is insufficient, and after capturing the samples, it might be attacked by the Zerg, with risks of sinking. We need to use the mothership for loading.”
Harvey laughed inwardly, assured that these experts were definitely scared.
He agreed, “You may board the ship.”
By the time Beck and others boarded the mothership, the Deep Diving Device had already descended to 10,000 meters deep!
The glowing, enormous deep-sea Zerg tree appeared on the screen.
“There’s truly such a peculiar creature on Blue Star!” The experts were astonished.
“The information He Xingzhou released was real!”
“The Zerg are not a species of Blue Star!” someone had already stated, “This plant can actually cultivate Zerg! This is clearly a biological factory!”
Previously, they had always insisted on using the term Mutant Creatures to refer to these monsters, but now, unconsciously, the experts had begun to call them Zerg.
In their hearts, they were convinced that this kind of creature completely overturned biological common sense on Blue Star!
“Look, those fruits are cultivating Zerg!” an expert said excitedly, “This is definitely a powerful biological weapon! If we can obtain a sample, we will acquire the most powerful biotechnology in the world!”
“Commence the capture plan immediately!” Beck also became excited, thinking that as long as he captured one of those things, he could become a globally prominent tech superstar!
Those previous stains would be completely wiped clean!
“Is this the Zerg nest?” Harvey, witnessing the scene in person, was also shocked. They had been somewhat skeptical when watching video data before.
But now, they were detecting personally and witnessing with their own eyes, there would be no falsification!
“Choosing targets!” They still had five Deep Diving Devices, and through various angles, they could see different fruits.
“Capture five samples at the same time!” Beck was ambitious, “Ascend from different positions, increasing the success rate!”
The five Deep Diving Devices each selected their targets.
And just like He Xingzhou’s previous choice, they also tried to have the Deep Diving Device select deeper targets, as the organisms cultivating in these fruits seemed more advanced than those in the upper layers.
“Target one secured!”
“Target two secured!”
“Target three capture failed, Deep Diving Device destroyed!”
“Target four capture failed, Deep Diving Device destroyed.”
“Target five secured, ascending!”
“Quick, bring it up!” Beck was overjoyed, having acquired three samples at once, triple what he had expected!
“General Harvey, please prepare for cover!”
When the five ‘fruits’ were disturbed, the deep-sea Zerg tree began to sway, seemingly conveying some kind of emotion.
Soon after, countless Mutant Creatures and Zerg surged from the bottomless trench below, emerging in a dark mass toward the sea surface.
“They’re coming!” The Xuanwu Executive Officers, upon seeing this scene, also became cautious, and their detectors were being rapidly destroyed as well.
He Xingzhou saw that one of the Deep Diving Devices was torn apart by the swarm almost instantly!
“Target two lost!” Beck received the report.
“Target one has ascended to 5000 meters underwater, target five has ascended to 5400 meters underwater.”
“Hurry, hurry, hurry! Continue to accelerate ascent!” Beck shouted.
“Deep-sea torpedo launch for cover!” Harvey commanded.
Their deep-sea torpedoes had been specially modified before departure; compared to the strike depth of other torpedoes, which was more than a thousand meters, these deep-sea torpedoes could hit depths of around three thousand meters.
Torpedoes were launched one after another, targeting the groups of Mutant Creatures. At that time, they didn’t even need to aim, as there were simply too many monsters underwater!
Random firing would hit the targets.
“Target one lost, Deep Diving Device destroyed!” Beck and others were left with only the final sample, and he was extremely anxious, “We must preserve this sample.”
“The research vessel should retreat first, and the surrounding ships should spread out. The monsters are about to enter firing range, open fire on all!” Harvey commanded.
Actually, without his command, the captains of the research vessels, upon seeing the monitoring screen, were already terrified.
Beneath the deep sea lay countless enormous eyes and various deformed creatures, some large enough to swallow their research vessel whole.
So, even before Harvey gave the order, the research vessels were already moving, initiating evacuation.
“Boom, boom, boom…” A steady sound echoed underwater, the sound of torpedoes and deep-sea bombs exploding.
Their firepower was indeed fierce. At a thousand meters below sea level, everything was stained with blood, and the roaring currents began to stir up huge waves!
“Bomb them!”
“Blast those damn monsters to hell!”
Underwater weapons were constantly launched from over a dozen ships! The dense firepower temporarily blocked the Mutant Creatures.
“Target five being retrieved!” The lone remaining sample had reached the mothership and was being hoisted up with a pod.
“Great!” Beck joyfully exclaimed, “Captain, we can retreat now!”
“Full retreat!” Harvey was resolute, initially wanting to bomb heavily, but upon seeing the seemingly endless creatures below the surface, he reconsidered, seeing the risk as too high.
“Mission accomplished, preparing to return!” All ships started to withdraw.
However, at this moment, an observer exclaimed, shouting into the communicator, “Captain, emergency, we are surrounded!”
“??? We’re surrounded?” Harvey heard this and momentarily didn’t react. They were the world’s most powerful fleet; who would have the courage to surround them?
“Weren’t the Zerg underwater stopped?”
“Not directly below us, but in the surrounding sea! They bypassed our detection range and encircled us from all sides!”
The feed switched to nearby underwater detectors, showing that around them, groups of Zerg rapidly ascended from the deep, forming a massive encirclement that trapped all the ships.
From the images, it was clear they were vast in number, too numerous to count, all forming a dark mass!
At this moment, ocean detectors were no longer necessary, even satellites in near-earth orbit captured the sea surface overrun by Mutant Creatures!
“They had already discovered us!”
“They are enclosing us!” Harvey, considering the possibility, broke into a cold sweat.
Scientists claimed the Zerg were alien creatures with advanced intelligence, which he had dismissed. He believed only humans on Blue Star were intelligent beings.
But he didn’t expect these bugs to have set a trap long ago, waiting for them to step into it!
“How did they deceive our detectors and manage to hide themselves?” Harvey asked.
“Our detectors have been continually destroyed; since just now, sonar and underwater radar have been unstable!”
“And these Mutant Creatures weren’t in our detection range, to begin with; they swam over from the surrounding sea! The bugs had been stalling for time!”
“They were surrounded by the Zerg?” Worldwide, through satellite images, high-ranking officials saw the scene.
This frightened them greatly, the Zerg had surrounded a carrier fleet; what were they planning to do?
“Something big has happened!” Qin Peng suddenly stood up and said, “I thought the Zerg would only pursue them. Who knew they knew how to encircle.”
“Could it be they want—” Before he finished speaking, everyone associated this with a terrifying conjecture.
This conjecture weighed heavily on their minds, so terrifying they didn’t even dare to speak it out loud!

He Xingzhou voiced the feared thought in their hearts: “They want to wipe out this entire carrier fleet!”
