Mobile Shelter

The assistant wanted to abandon the ship because, during the dissection of the survivors, he noticed that the fish eggs in the mucus inside the survivors' bodies were only the size of a middle finger when they first hatched.

Although these things will only grow to the size of an infant's arm after they burrow into the survivor's body and devour the survivor's flesh and blood.

However, the sea snake larvae that have not yet burrowed into the survivors' bodies can easily enter the ventilation ducts inside the ship's cabins. They can use the extensive ventilation system inside the ship to reach any cabin.

So, while it may seem that the sea snakes have been isolated outside the cabin, the larvae of those sea snakes may have already entered any cabin through the ventilation ducts inside the cabin.

This actually means that the ship is about to be taken over by those mutated marine creatures.

Considering their previous rescue of that ship, if they didn't escape from it as soon as possible, they might face the same situation as the survivors they had rescued.

Meanwhile, those who were already hiding in Dong Qi's natal car were not leaking any scent, perhaps because the natal car had an added oxygen-generating device.

Most importantly, all the windows of the car had already been replaced with one-way glass by Dong Qi, so it was impossible to see inside the car from the outside.

The newly hatched sea snake larvae have little intelligence, and the small mutated marine creatures that later climb onto the deck, while somewhat intelligent, are only similar to ordinary wild animals.

So, in situations where you can neither smell anything inside the car nor see anyone inside, you're in a situation where you can't smell anything inside the car.

Dong Qi's vehicle received the same treatment as other equipment on the deck. Although occasionally some mutated marine creatures would try to attack the vehicle out of curiosity, they would lose interest after discovering that the vehicle was quite sturdy.

A few mutated marine creatures got bored and climbed onto the roof of the vehicle, playing on the shield of the now-closed electromagnetic cannon.

Everyone in the car held their breath and remained silent in the face of this situation.

Little did they know that even if they shouted loudly inside the car, as long as Dong Qi didn't want to, not a single sound could be heard from inside the car.

Dong Qi and his group stayed obediently in the car, actually wanting to see the reactions of those in the cabin.

Although some soldiers were on duty on deck when the incident occurred, they were attacked by those mutated marine creatures.

However, after completing the rescue mission, the other soldiers returned to their cabins to rest, so most of the main combat personnel on board were still in their cabins at this time.

If the soldiers in the cabin can launch a counterattack and clean up the mutated marine life on the deck, that would be best.

If that doesn't work, the car on the deck can escape from the ship in the fastest way.

The captain, standing in the wheelhouse, was unaware that there were survivors on the deck.

He looked down through the glass of the cabin and saw that the deck was now completely occupied by those mutated marine creatures.

On the contrary, the sea snake-like creatures that had hatched from the survivors' vomit had vanished without a trace.

The captain, standing in the wheelhouse, did not possess Dong Qi's superhuman physical abilities. Therefore, when chaos erupted on the deck, he did not see the tiny, almost transparent sea snake larva that had just hatched from the survivors' vomit.

Otherwise, upon discovering the sea snake larvae, he would surely have thought of the events leading up to those who went missing after entering the cabin during rescue missions.

At this moment, the assistant, who was originally in the lower deck, rushed to the bridge. Upon seeing the captain standing there unharmed, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked, "Are the emergency evacuation planes ready?"

Seeing his assistant sweating profusely, and noticing that the assistant had rushed in and immediately asked about leaving, the captain knew that the assistant must have discovered something serious.

So the captain didn't waste any more words and said directly, "The evacuation plane is in the cockpit. The pilots are already warming up inside, and the plane can start at any time."

After hearing the captain say this, perhaps because there were other people in the bridge at the time, the assistant did not continue to speak. Instead, he gave the captain a look and then decisively left the bridge.

After noticing his assistant's look, the captain did not leave the cabin immediately. Instead, he called out the names of several people in the bridge and then led them out of the bridge.

Although the others saw the captain's assistant rush in, their conversation with the captain was relatively quiet, so most people didn't know what they were talking about.

So when they saw the captain preparing to leave with his men, the others didn't pay much attention. After all, under normal circumstances, only two or three people were needed to maintain the ship's normal navigation.

Given the special circumstances and the chaos on deck they had already witnessed, they were not concerned about the captain leaving with his men.

They simply assumed the captain was preparing to clear the mutated marine life off the deck, and had no idea that he was actually planning to escape the ship and leave them behind as bait.

After the captain and his crew boarded the plane, they immediately saw his assistant, who was already sitting in the cabin waiting for him. The assistant then informed the captain of the problem he had discovered.

As the assistant continued his narration, the captain's brows gradually furrowed.

The captain may not be the best at planning ahead, but since he has risen to the rank of captain, he must have some extraordinary abilities. Otherwise, based on his background alone, he could never have become the head of a warship of this caliber.

Upon hearing about the appearance of the sea snake larvae and the assistant's speculation that they might appear in any cabin through the ventilation ducts, the captain decisively ordered the pilots to start the aircraft.

As the pilot started the aircraft, the cabin above the cockpit opened directly, revealing the aircraft parked inside.

With the activation of the electronic catapult system, the plane carrying the captain and his crew was instantly far away from the ship in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, not only the personnel remaining in the bridge noticed the abnormality in the cabin above their heads.

Even Dong Qi and his group, who were on the deck, witnessed the plane taking off.

Dong Qi, an outsider, might not know this situation, but Shao Kai and his logistics team, with their deep backgrounds, understood the significance of the plane leaving the ship.

The ship's captain seemed to realize that the situation was out of control, so he chose to abandon ship and flee.
