Ancient Invasion [End Times]

The 170th day after the invasion · "I don't know if you have heard of the 321 shipwreck incident."

After Lin Qian learned that the giant whale was Xu Ying, he was shocked for several seconds and didn't recover.

"It looks... different from a normal whale." Lin Qian said tactfully.

If you ask him to say, this whale is more than "different in appearance", it is simply cruel.

"This is the Melville Whale, the overlord of the ocean at the same time as the Megalodon." Cheng Sheng said.

"When the two meet, whoever wins is uncertain." Cheng Sheng looked at the giant whale and praised softly, "Look at the shape and size of its fangs. In its era, its main prey was cetaceans. Its bite force is no less than that of a megalodon."

He turned to Lin Qian: "Speaking of it, it is the same era as the Argentine giant eagle. It is both in the Miocene era. One is the overlord of the sea, and the other is the king of the sky."

Lin Qian laughed when he heard this, so his animal shape is also very good.

Except not being able to fly.

The awakening of Xu Ying's ancient genes was really unexpected.

But Cheng Sheng changed his mind and remembered that when Duan Yi brought Lin Qian and Xu Ying to find him, he had told him that the first detoxifier to suppress the virus was used on Xu Ying.

At that time, he was still surprised that Xu Ying didn't seem to have any abnormalities.

In his conception, even if a detoxifier is used, it is impossible to completely clear the virus, unless there is some kind of ancient gene awakening like Duan Yi.

The pure and natural powerful ancient genes compete with the ancient viruses that belong to that era.

In the process of stimulating awakening, it may be possible to generate some kind of immunity or countermeasure mechanism.

Afterwards, Xu Ying never showed any discomfort or signs of the awakening of the ancient genes, which made Cheng Sheng think that the original injury did not actually make Xu Ying infected with the virus.

Until now, seeing this ancient Melville whale that lived 300 million years ago, Cheng Sheng suddenly realized——

It's not that Xu Ying has not awakened the ancient dominant genes, but the awakened genes cannot be manifested on land.

This is not impossible. After all, creatures have the instinct of self-protection, and marine creatures will not be stranded on land for no reason.

"Since we have such an easy-to-use animal shape... then Xu Ying will give us a ride? Just go directly?" Du Nanrong rubbed his hands and suggested.

Xu Ying wagged her tail without any objection, and even surfaced eagerly, spraying out a spray of water.

Zhang Jiuzhang snorted, and asked Du Nanrong: "Where did it swim out? Not to mention whether blowing out a hole from here will cause a maelstrom, just the difficulty of blowing out a hole is enough."

"Let's talk about the flooded three-story cabin below. There is a big hole there, but how far is it from here?"

"Even if you are lucky in the middle, there is an air room for ventilation, can you guarantee a smooth arrival?"

"Even if we finally swim outside, let her take us out. With a diving depth of more than ten meters or even 20 meters, it is very easy to have gas embolism when we float up. Can she guarantee that the speed of the ascent is something we can bear? ?”

"Floating too fast will not work, nor will it go too slow, and we must find the hole in the bombed boat with limited lung capacity, and surface in one go." Zhang Jiuzhang listed them one by one, looking at Du Nanrong as if watching a joke, " You are joking?"

Du Nanrong's face froze slightly.

What Zhang Jiuzhang said left him speechless.

Lin Qian saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he smoothed things over and said, "Actually, I was also thinking that it would be great if sister Xu Ying could take us out, so why worry about it, haha."

The last two "haha", Lin Qian felt reluctant and embarrassed when he heard it.

"By the way, I saw just now that the exit of the escape route was blocked by a pile of things that fell down and couldn't be removed by one person. What do you guys see?" Lin Qian changed the subject.

Du Nanrong pursed his lips, and turned to the escape route to check the situation.

Duan Yi had already looked around there, and came back and said: "Too many steel structures are densely blocked there, and manpower cannot be unloaded for a while. First, let's take a look at the situation of the engine room at the bottom."

Lin Qian let out a sigh of relief when he heard the words. He also thought the same way during the examination before, but he still hoped that Dr. Duan Duan might have something to do.

"It's okay that the cabin at the bottom is flooded." Lin Qian said, and the group turned to the cabin at the bottom.

Xu Ying stayed where she was, and walked up, the water was too shallow, and she couldn't move, so she could only keep slapping the water on her body.

Luo Xiaonan didn't follow the crowd to the cabin, he stayed beside Xu Ying.

He tilted his head, looked at the giant whale in front of him, and looked at the small wound on the whale's body. He stretched out his palm and gently covered it, and said in a low voice, "Sister Xu Ying's wound... should recover sooner."

Xu Ying gave a light and quick response.

On such an oasis-class luxury cruise ship, the cabin at the bottom is ridiculously large, like an aquatic storage factory with pipe tunnels.

The height of the bottom cabin alone is divided into two floors, and the stop check valve is connected to the main pipe of the pipe tunnel.

Du Nanrong couldn't understand these scattered pipes, he couldn't even understand them when they were upright, let alone upside down at the moment.

He twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Duan Yi and the others: "How is it?"

"Fortunately, there was no explosion here." Zhang Jiuzhang said with a "huh".

Duan Yi said: "As you can see here, there are ten auxiliary engines, some of which are diesel engines that provide power, and the other is power generation equipment. They are the guarantee for power supply. And the four furnaces over there are heavy oil boilers that are at the height of the engine room. .”

"When the ship is running, the boiler continuously heats and releases high-temperature steam to heat the heavy oil used by the ship, so that the ship can operate normally." Duan Yi explained in a deep voice.

Du Nanrong took a deep breath, he didn't need Duan Yi to go on, he also understood what Duan Yi meant.

"What you see, no matter which one of them, as long as it is not fixed so firmly, it is very likely to cause a terrible explosion." Duan Yi finished.

Zhang Jiuzhang said: "In my opinion, it's better to go back and think about how to remove the debris outside the escape passage. This place is simply a ticking time bomb."

"God knows when which screw will not be able to hold up the pressure of the upside down and loosen. I don't know if the sealed cabin can stop the power of the explosion." He said coolly.

Cheng Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Zhang Jiuzhang suddenly: "You are right."

Zhang Jiuzhang was echoed by Cheng Sheng for the first time, and he paused slightly, not feeling that Cheng Sheng was really agreeing with him.

He looked at Cheng Sheng cautiously: "What are you thinking?"

Cheng Sheng smiled: "You don't need to look at me like an enemy, do you?"

He skipped Zhang Jiuzhang and looked at Duan Yi: "Move away the piles of debris outside the escape passage. We only rely on our manpower to move them. We don't have time or energy. We need to find external help."

Duan Yi frowned slightly, and turned his gaze to the cabin: "You mean to use this place?"

"The stop check valves over there can be used." Cheng Sheng said, he paused, and said thoughtfully, "Maybe I can make a simple auxiliary tool for directional blasting."

"To be honest, the cabin space here is twice as large as I imagined, and it is likely to be a big breakthrough." Cheng Sheng said.

He looked at Du Nanrong and the others, and spoke quickly: "I don't know if you have heard of the 321 shipwreck incident."

Du Nanrong let out an "ah" and said, "Is it the tanker that was overturned by the huge waves?"

Cheng Sheng nodded.

Du Nanrong went on to say: "The sea will suddenly form huge waves tens of meters high. The formation of such huge waves is difficult to predict. The sinking tanker encountered such huge waves and was directly overturned and sank. Like in our case, completely turned upside down."

"But the process of sinking the ship was unexpected."

"It didn't sink all the time, but after sinking for a certain distance, it suddenly rolled to the surface of the water because of the huge blasting airflow in the cabin."

"The moment it surfaced in just a few minutes, it sank at a faster speed, forming a terrifying vortex, and the sunken ship was never salvaged again."

Du Nanrong said, after he finished speaking, he paused suddenly, looked at Cheng Sheng, and asked in disbelief, "Doctor, do you mean to..."

Cheng Sheng nodded slightly.
