Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 240 Pollution Residue
"Keep shooting!"

The unexpected surprise caused by the coordinated firing gave Su Wang greater confidence.

Even without the ability to coordinate fire, going all out will result in a huge consumption of fish coins.

But now the most urgent thing is,
The goal is to reduce the number of pollution sources as much as possible before they approach the Green Knife Wharf.

As the order was issued, all air and sea warships once again entered the repulsion gun charging state.

Soon, lightning and fire filled the sky again.

There is no ability to coordinate fire.

This time the artillery fire did not seem to be in regular order, and Su Wang did not know whether he could reproduce the "black hole" scene just now.

The target of this attack is still the "crippled" half of the pollution source.

But when the repulsion cannon fired by the Wangxin hit, Su Wang's face changed slightly.

“You recovered so quickly!”

In less than ten seconds, the endurance of this pollution source had recovered to 12 billion.

Fortunately, as the number of repulsive shells hitting the pollution source increased, the collapse force field underwent another qualitative change, and the black hole reappeared.

However, the collapse force field caused by each repulsive shell only lasts for 3 seconds.
However, there was no complete unity when each division conducted concentrated fire.

Therefore, the generation of black holes was not as rapid as in the previous round of coordinated salvos, and their scale and duration were much shorter.

After a round of full-scale artillery fire,
The endurance value of the pollution source only dropped by more than 6 million, of which 4 million were destroyed by the black hole.

After the artillery fire stopped, the pollution source quickly recovered nearly 1 million endurance points.

Su Wang took advantage of the interval between cannon fire to quickly find out what the problem was.

The anomaly was discovered when sonar scanning was activated.

Beneath the sea, there are densely packed overlapping fish shadows, the number of which is almost incalculable.

The direction of the fish's swimming is that Qia Qia is the source of pollution in a state of physical recovery.

"It turns out that these strange fish are providing healing for the source of pollution."

The endless stream of strange fish are equivalent to the mobile blood bags of the pollution source.

As long as the pollution source is not completely defeated, it will devour these strange fish to quickly restore its endurance and become an invincible existence.

Although the problem of the rapid recovery of the pollution source's endurance was found, Su Wang did not have a solution.

Unless there is a large-scale extinction attack,

Otherwise, instead of trying to prevent the monster fish from recovering the pollution source, it would be better to use faster attack damage to lower the endurance of the pollution source.

This is exactly what Su Wang arranged.

The order to open fire for the third round was immediately issued, and all personnel charged their repulsor cannons again.

A few seconds later, the fourth round of artillery fire was fired.

In the end, it took five rounds of full-scale attacks by all members to finally reduce the endurance of this pollution source to the bottom line.

The pollution source, which had been worn down by the black hole until only a few remnants remained, suddenly disintegrated into a pool of blood at this moment.

At the same time, a message prompt flashed in Su Wang's eyes.

[Successfully defeated the initial pollution source, accounting for 100% of the damage, exceeding the mission target.]

[Mission Reward: 2 million * 10 times each of three basic resources, and a choice of three Ocean Relics or Extraordinary Rare Fish Souls.]

...

"There are only three resource rewards of 2 million." Su Wang frowned slightly.

This time, killing the pollution source achieved a 100% damage ratio, and the reward was only 2 million three resources.

Just to kill this source of pollution, more than 6 million fish coins were spent on ammunition.

Although the value of wood, steel and fish coins is the same, it is not a loss at all.

But for Su Wang, it is not worth it.

If it weren't for the reward of 3 ocean relics, killing each pollution source would be a loss.

Without coordinated fire to inflict heavy damage to the pollution source first, killing the other pollution source will only consume greater resources.

It might take 7 or 8 rounds of artillery fire, and the required expenditure of fish coins would be as high as more than 10 billion.

Su Wang only made a rough estimate and figured out that his remaining resources were not enough to kill all the pollution sources found so far.

"I should have taken more resources from the Pisces King earlier."

Su Wangben thought that 2 billion in three resources would be enough.

It only costs less than tens of billions of resources to complete the Starlink, warships, etc.

However, with the remaining resources, the fish coins will be used up if a maximum of 160 pollution sources are killed.

"No matter what, I'll kill as many as I can!"

Su Wang didn't think any more and ordered the fleet to bombard the other source of pollution.

When attacking the first pollution source,

When the pollution source saw its "companion" being attacked, it continued to move forward as if it had nothing to do with it.

It was not until Su Wang turned around and started to deal with Him that his ability to move was finally restrained.

Under the ultra-long-range artillery attack, it took 8 rounds of artillery fire to defeat the source of pollution and turn it into a bloody mess.

After receiving the kill prompt message,
Su Wang did not hesitate much and immediately arranged for the fleet to head towards another smaller group of pollution sources.

...

However, just after the fleet left, something strange happened.

After each pollution source dies, some blood will disintegrate and float on the sea surface.

After receiving the kill notification, Su Wang didn't pay much attention to the bloody residue.

However, the numerous strange fish under the sea quickly rushed to grab and devour the blood as soon as it appeared.

When the fleet left this sea area for more than ten minutes,

Where the two pollution sources collapsed, a large number of strange fish began to bite and devour each other.

After each strange fish devoured its own kind, its strange and terrifying body became further distorted.

Until the distortion reaches a certain degree, it turns into an irregularly shaped ball of flesh and blood.

The moment the ball of flesh and blood appeared,

A large number of strange fish that were devouring each other stopped their strange behavior and turned to gather towards the ball of flesh and blood.

The ball of flesh and blood was like a bottomless abyss, swallowing up all the strange fish that gathered there.

Every time it devoured a strange fish, the ball of flesh and blood grew a little bigger.

In just a few minutes,
The meatball then grew to a huge size of hundreds of meters, then floated to the surface, and continued to grow rapidly.

If Su Wang were here at this moment, he would recognize the identity of this flesh ball. It is the form of the pollution source body at its birth...

...

after an hour,
Su Wang has led the air and sea fleet to eliminate 37 pollution sources in succession.

The consumption of fish coins has reached nearly 6 billion.

The horrific expenditure made Su Wang secretly shocked.

If it weren't for the huge sum of money taken out from the Pisces King, even if the Air and Sea Fleet had terrifying combat power, it would not be able to use it.

Su Wang planned to wait until the fish coins were used up, then look for the merchant alliance docks at Pisces Wharf and ask for some more fish coins.

Since we have already taken on the combat part, it shouldn't be too much for the local forces to take on the logistics part, right?
The good news is that killing 37 pollution sources brought 111 ocean relics.
Just find time to go back to Fool's Wharf to build air and sea battleships to continue expanding the size of the fleet.

The current cannon consumption is high, and a large part of the reason is the terrifying recovery ability of the pollution source.

The effect of each artillery attack will be partially offset by the recovery force, so it will take two or three more rounds of artillery fire to kill the enemy.

As long as the number of air and sea battleships can be doubled or tripled,
Su Wang was confident that he could directly destroy a source of pollution with a single round of artillery fire.

Although there are more firing warships, the consumption of fish coins will be much less than it is now.

Just when Su Wang had solved the pollution source in one sea area and was about to look for the next combat area, his face suddenly changed.

"Gan!"

A loud bang came out of Su Wang's mouth.

From the perspective of Starlink, what we see is the sea area that has been cleaned up once from the source of pollution.

However, the two giant mountains of flesh that appeared on the sea were the culprits that caused Su Wang's expression to change drastically.

"how so?!"

These two mountains of flesh are the previous stage of the pollution source body before it is hatched.

At this time, the two meat mountains on the sea surface had reached a scale of several thousand meters.

As luck would have it, the two meat mountains seemed to have reached the hatching stage.

It suddenly rolled and contracted, condensing into a ball in just two minutes.

The next second, the meat ball burst, and two strange creatures several thousand meters in size appeared above the sea.

“Clean! Clean! Clean!”

After "witnessing" this scene with his own eyes, Su Wang couldn't help but swear three times again.

Even Tia, who was helping to control the Heart of Destruction, turned her head due to the noise and looked at the captain with curiosity and worry.

It was the first time she saw her captain lose his composure like this, and the expression on his face was extremely ugly.

"Captain, what happened?"

Hearing Tia's concerned question, Su Wang realized that he had lost his composure and quickly calmed down.

"fine…"

Although he said that everything was fine, Su Wang quickly switched to the Starlink perspective to check the sea scene where the pollution source was killed previously.

as predicted,

Except for the sea area where the pollution source was killed not long ago, discoveries were made in other areas where the pollution source was killed earlier.

Mountains of flesh of varying sizes appeared on the sea surface.

Some of them are only two or three hundred meters in size, while others have exceeded one kilometer in size.

How could Su Wang not know the identities of these meat mountains?

However, the meat mountain I saw last time was growing extremely slowly.

But the meat mountain seen through the Starlink perspective is growing at an alarming rate.

Su Wang did not dare to hesitate and quickly ordered the fleet to tunnel to the sky above a sea area where a mountain of meat existed.

Immediately after arriving, the artillery fire of the Wangxin began to accumulate power.

The target was a mountain of meat that was only about 300 meters in size.

The repulsion cannon finished charging, and hundreds of giant cannons fired at the same time, bombarding the mountain of flesh with the force of thunder.

Although not all warships fired at the same time, the attack power of the Wangxin was terrifying. The simultaneous firing of hundreds of cannons was enough to cause more than tens of millions of casualties.

The moment the shell hit, information about the Meat Mountain flashed across Su Wang's eyes.

【Pollution Source Body (Resuscitation Body)】

Strength: 1646767 points.

Stamina: 3.344 million/9.57 million.

Abilities: Pollution, bio-mimicry, and dimensional pollution.

Tip: After the death of the source of pollution through the ascending body, the residual pollution will be revived.

...

Su Wang looked solemn as he continued to charge up for the second round of fire.

As the second round of artillery fire hit, the Meat Mountain's remaining stamina was immediately emptied.

After two rounds of bombardment, the shattered flesh mountain suddenly lost its vitality, disintegrating into a bloody mess that spread across the sea. [Kill the source of pollution (revived form) and receive a reward of three basic resources *3 million.]

Receive reward information for prompt reporting,
There was no joy on Su Wang's face, but he remained very solemn.

This time he wanted to see with his own eyes whether the resurrected body that was killed again would be "resurrected" again.

After concentrating his attention, Su Wang quickly noticed something unusual.

Within just a few minutes, the remaining blood floating on the sea surface quickly disappeared.

Su Wang quickly switched the sonar view and saw that there were many strange fish gathered under the blood, and the density was much higher than the surrounding area.

Su Wang calmed down and continued to observe.

Because the strange fish were too dense, the sonar image only showed densely packed overlapping fish shadows.

Although he had some guesses in his mind, whether it was exactly as Su Wang thought still needed to be verified.

After a few minutes, a new discovery was finally made.

The sonar image scanned underwater and detected an image of a meatball with a volume of nearly 100 meters, and its volume was still expanding rapidly.

"Sure enough!"

His guess was completely confirmed, and Su Wang no longer waited. He immediately charged the cannon and aimed at the underwater meat ball.

However, as the artillery fire continued, the effect was not satisfactory.

The meatballs are produced at a depth of hundreds of meters underwater.

The repulsion cannon fired by the Heart of Destruction is powerful enough to penetrate hundreds of meters of water.

But the problem is that the density of the monster fish underwater is too terrifying. The moment the shells fall into the water, they will hit the monster fish and explode.

Hundreds of repulsion cannons blasted through hundreds of water layers, but only a few reached the meat ball.

Fortunately, the meatball has just been produced, and its endurance value is not too terrible.

In addition, the attributes of the Heartless are strong enough, and the damage of several repulsive bombs cannot be underestimated.

The meat ball that had just been deformed suddenly disappeared in the sonar image.

[Kill the pollution source (resurrection body) and be rewarded with three basic resources*100 million.]

The reward prompt reappeared, but it had been reduced to only 500 million.

It seems that the feedback is based on the degree of the revived body.

After killing the resurrected body again, Su Wang still did not dare to be careless.

Since the resurrected body can be resurrected twice, it may not be impossible to resurrect three times.

At this time, Su Wang didn't even plan to care about the other resurrected bodies. He was determined to make sure whether the problem had been completely solved this time.

Be still and wait and observe.

One minute…

ten minutes…

twenty minutes…

After a twenty-minute observation period, apart from the fact that the strange fish were still densely packed and had not dispersed, it seemed that the revived body would never appear again.

However, just when Su Wang was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the worst situation occurred.

The meatball reappeared in the sonar image.

Although it took much longer this time, it did appear.

The reappearance of the revived body immediately shattered Su Wang’s hope.

According to this situation,

Even if he opened fire again to destroy this resurrected body, a new one would appear soon.

At most it will just take longer.

However, the slower recovery time has no effect on the source of pollution, but has a great impact on Su Wang.

Now we have discovered more than 200 pollution sources.
There is simply no way to arrange enough warships to stay behind and clean up the ever-resurrecting pollution sources.

If the resurgence of the pollution source is not completely prevented, it will always resurge to the level before it was killed. The two pollution sources observed previously are the best examples.

Su Wang calmed down and thought about a solution.

Follow the prompts of the resuscitation body,

It seems that it is mainly caused by the pollution left after the death of the pollution source, and secondly by these strange fish.

Su Wang thought that after the source of pollution died, the blood left behind would be snatched away by the strange fish.

Presumably, the blood ooze is the so-called pollution residue.

After the strange fish swallowed these polluted residues, it was deformed again into a revived form of the pollution source due to some kind of mutation.

In this case, there are only two ways to solve the repeated resurgence of pollution sources.

First, as soon as the blood ooze appears, do not give any strange fish the opportunity to swallow the blood ooze, and clean it up quickly.

The second is to clear or isolate all the strange fish, and also prevent the strange fish from appearing and devouring the blood.

However, both of these methods are extremely difficult.

The moment the pollution source died, the disintegrated blood instantly spread across the sea surface.

Given the current density of strange fish under the sea, it is estimated that it will take less than 1 second for a strange fish to swallow the blood.

Not to mention stopping and isolating the strange fish, which requires extremely huge manpower and material resources.

Unless you are near the dock at this moment, you can mobilize the dock to summon millions of extraordinary murloc guards.

Su Wangcai dared to say that he was confident that he could isolate an area from this dense school of strange fish.

Otherwise, even if the Heart of Destruction could summon 25 extraordinary fishmen guards to throw into the water,
Faced with such an innumerable number of strange fish, it is difficult to guarantee that no fish will slip through the net.

There is another solution, which is to use more powerful and wider-range killing methods to deal with the blood ooze instantly as soon as it appears.

Su Wang also has this method. The main gun of the ocean relic and the starlink strike should be able to achieve this.

However, these have limitations on the number of uses and recovery time, and cannot be applied repeatedly in the short term.

It feels a bit like a waste of talent to use it to deal with the resuscitation body.

“How can we solve this problem?”

Su Wang had a headache for a moment, so he called several crew members over and told them what was on his mind.

Three heads are better than one, let's see if the crew members can offer some suggestions.

Just after Su Wang put the question forward, Tia asked the first question.

"Captain, is the problem the residual pollution?"

Su Wang nodded slightly doubtfully.
I have already explained it very clearly just now, why does Tia keep asking again?

After getting the confirmation, Tia said with great confusion.

"Captain, don't you have a way to purify the pollution?"

Hearing what Tia said, Su Wang was stunned at first, and then he immediately reacted.

Yup!

How could I forget there is such a method!

All along, Su Wang’s way of dealing with pollution sources was to solve the problem through fire damage.

Instead, he overlooked an ability of the special attack against pollution - the purification mirror beam.

It may not be possible to use it to purify the pollution source.

However, if we only want to purify the pollution left over from the death of some pollution sources, it may not be impossible to purify them.

In addition, it can be changed into folding mirror matrix mode, with a large range and a duration of 30 seconds.

If the resurrected body is killed within the activation range of the folding mirror matrix, there is a high probability that the contamination residue left when the resurrected body dies can be purified.

Thinking of the solution, Su Wang excitedly wanted to go up and give Tia a big hug.

Unfortunately, in the face of Tia's "thief-guarding" gaze, he embarrassedly retracted his open arms.

Su Wang ignored the embarrassment and immediately ordered the fleet to stay where they were and wait.

He drove the Death Heart towards the waters near where the revived body was.

Since the folding mirror matrix needs to be built at close range, it is necessary to fly above the resurrected body.

The distance of two to three thousand meters was reached in a flash. Based on the feedback from the sonar image, Su Wang determined the location where the resurrected body would float up.

Generally, after the revived body reaches a size of three or four hundred meters underwater, it will float to the surface and continue to expand.

Although Su Wang didn't understand why he didn't continue to recover underwater, it gave him a chance.

The small folding mirror matrix can cover a range of one kilometer, which is more than enough to cover all the revived bodies that have just surfaced.

All that remains is to kill the resurrected entity again while the folding mirror matrix is ​​activated.

The resurrected body has an endurance value of tens of millions, which may be a problem for ordinary people to defeat it in a short period of time.

But it is not a problem at all for the Wangxin.

The terrifying vehicle attributes, plus the damage to polluted targets from the Pure Sea Pearl Fish Treasure, make tens of millions a small deal.

By the time Su Wang finished building the folding mirror matrix, the revived body just emerged from the water.

Su Wang immediately activated the folding mirror matrix and invested in the fuel of faith.

Only in this way can the purification light beam drawn by the folding mirror matrix break through the black clouds blocking the sky.

Since the range of the activated folding mirror matrix is ​​not large, and it is also blessed by the fuel of faith.

Soon, a beam of light like a burning sword pierced through the dark clouds above and shot into the folding mirror.

In an instant, the folding mirror's light enveloped the revived body.

I don't know if it's the cleansing effect of the purification matrix itself, or because of the added power of faith fuel.

When the purifying light swept over the revived body, it immediately produced a burning and melting effect on the surface of the revived body.

The strange eyeballs on the surface of the flesh ball were burned blind one after another, and the twisting flesh tentacles melted like candles.

At the same time, Su Wang also saw unexpected good news from the sonar image.

The dense crowd of strange fish under the water were driven away a distance the moment the folding mirror matrix was activated.

While Su Wang was surprised, he did not forget his business.

The Wangxin immediately began charging its cannon.

After charging, he suddenly fired all his cannons at the revived body.

After seeing the information of the resuscitated body,

He also discovered that the endurance of the revived body was rapidly decreasing at a rate of hundreds of thousands per second. It seemed that this was the special effect of the folding mirror matrix.

But one shot was not enough, so Su Wang immediately charged the second cannon and launched another round of bombardment three seconds later.

This time, the revived body's endurance was immediately emptied, and the meat ball that had just floated to the surface suddenly exploded and disintegrated.

Su Wangxin also reached the peak at this moment, whether he can achieve success depends on now!
The blood left after the meat ball collapsed quickly turned into black smoke and vaporized in the burning white light as soon as it appeared.

The beams of light within the folding mirror matrix reached everywhere, not even a speck of blood the size of a fingernail was missed.

Even at a depth of more than ten meters underwater, it is within the sweeping range of the purification beam.

After the folding mirror matrix dissipated, Su Wang hurried to check the underwater situation.

When Su Wang saw the scene projected by the sonar image, a flash of ecstasy appeared in his eyes.

"Success!"

Although there were still many strange fish underwater, they began to swim towards the direction of another revived body.

This shows that there is no longer anything in this water area that can attract the strange fish to stay.

This was a scene that had not appeared in the previous attempts to kill the resurrected body.

...
