Now, Norway has fallen behind a little, and even Sweden, which is behind them, has sent submarines into the sea to investigate.

Therefore, in order not to lag too far behind other countries, Norway also decided to send submarines and take oceanographers with it. Although submarine soldiers have rich diving experience, oceanographers are still better at understanding the ocean.

After these words were spoken, the scholars who had gathered together became excited. After all, it was obviously easier to search for anomalies in the deep sea than to be able to only watch videos on land.

Although there are dangers, no one cares about them compared to exploring the mysteries of the sea. What has allowed them to reach their current position is their never-extinguished curiosity.

Their bodies will age and their spirits will wither, but their desire to explore will never be satisfied; this is the greatest and strongest desire of a researcher.

Anders in the group of scholars was also excited, not only because of his excitement as a scholar, but also because of his excitement about the unusual movements of the sea.

He can understand the meaning of the sound waves, so does that mean that after entering the sea, he will be able to discover more unusual sea movements?

But he didn't wait to be excited for too long, he calmed down. In terms of seniority, he could not compare with all the old scholars here. So why should they lead him? Because he is young?

"Because this underwater investigation is quite urgent, we decided to bring only ten people with us, and we will decide who will enter the submarine based on age from youngest to oldest."

The officer on the stage said something that made Anders ecstatic. They were really selected according to age. So he had a chance!

The officer then explained that going into the sea with a submarine was not an easy task. Ordinary people who had not received training would definitely feel uncomfortable. Moreover, these scholars were so old. If one of them was accidentally fainted, it would not be good for anyone.

The younger you are, the greater your ability to withstand, although the youngest person here is already in his thirties.

Afterwards, the officers in charge of the submarine began to select scholars to go to sea. Some old scholars even began to falsify their age in order to go to sea.

However, looking at the old scholar's extremely clever hairstyle, the officer waved his hand and said that even if he lied about his age, he should not be too excessive. The wrinkles almost completely covered his eyes. He said that he was only forty years old, but at the age of forty he had a face of an eighty-year-old. How old he looked.

When the officer saw Anders, he was in a dilemma. Anders was only in his thirties, very young and very suitable to be a submarine escort.

But he was too young, and certainly lacked experience and vision. The officer was at a loss as to whether to have Anders accompany him.

Just when the officer was struggling, Anders's mentor vouched for him. With the guarantee of this old man who was obviously a senior scholar, the officer chose Anders.

It's good to have a guarantee, and apart from the responsibility, he can't be blamed.

In this way, Anders, as the youngest scholar, successfully joined the submarine escort crew.

Now that everything is ready, there is no more delay. The submarine crew will set off after resting for half an hour.

"Teacher, thank you for speaking up for me just now, otherwise I might have lost this opportunity."

Before entering the submarine, Anders shook his mentor's hand and thanked him sincerely. His mentor just laughed and patted Anders on the shoulder.

"You are my student, so I will naturally help you. At my age, there is no way I can help you. You must explore the sea for me. It would be best if you could find out why the sea is moving abnormally."

"I will, teacher!"

After saying goodbye to his teacher, Anders tightened his clothes and walked towards the submarine without looking back, like a soldier going to the battlefield.

Now that he has this opportunity, he must go to the center of the sea to investigate and find out what caused the unusual movement in the sea!

Chapter 465: Call of the Kraken

The diving of a submarine is actually not that complicated. As long as you gently press the rod and open the valve of the ballast water tank through the hydraulic switch, seawater will flow into the ballast water tank, making the gravity acting on the submarine gradually greater than the buoyancy. In this way, the submarine completes the dive.

A submarine that has successfully dived will be in a submerged state. When the submarine controls the amount of water in the ballast tank so that the gravity it is subjected to is close to its buoyancy and maintains a certain speed, the submarine can sail smoothly in the water with the help of horizontal rudders and adjust to the desired sailing depth.

Anders was undoubtedly very excited as he took a submarine for the first time in his life and successfully dived into the deep sea. Another scholar with him was also very excited.

The ten scholars entered five submarines in groups of two, and these five submarines were the survey submarines sent by the naval base.

There is no need to send out too many submarines for the first investigation. Besides, even if all are sent out, wouldn’t it be a waste of effort if nothing is found?

Taking all factors into consideration, they decided to send out five submarines to investigate around their own waters. They didn't really expect to find out anything anyway.

Anders was inside the submarine, but all he could see was the deep sea outside the submarine. In the shallow sea with clear water, the seawater perspective distance was only sixty to seventy meters. If he was in the deep sea, the seawater perspective distance would be shortened to twenty to thirty meters.

Therefore, submarines usually observe the deep sea through nautical charts or sonar, and no one uses their eyes to explore the deep sea.

But Anders just likes this feeling, the deep and quiet sea, mysterious yet so attractive to him.

"Although the depths of the sea are pitch black, they still cannot conceal its beauty."

Just as Anders was watching intently, a scholar in his group came over and exclaimed beside him.

The scholar was about fifty years old, not too old, and his hair was half black and half white.

"Yes." Although Anders didn't know the name of the scholar next to him, he still agreed, "It is because the sea is so beautiful that I chose the sea."

"Haha, although the sea is beautiful, we can't ignore its dangers. After all, we haven't explored the sea thoroughly."

"Human beings are still too small in front of nature."

Listening to the sigh of the scholar next to him, Anders agreed but did not continue to echo him. Rather than chatting, he wanted to continue to immerse himself in the mystery of the deep sea.

The two of them just fell silent.

However, this moment of silence did not last long, and a sudden sound appeared again.

"boom!!!"

The third unusual movement in the sea occurred.

"That kind of unusual movement has appeared again, quickly float up!"

The submarine crew who detected the unusual movement in the sea hurriedly operated the horizontal rudder, hoping to surface before the submarine was damaged, but Anders, who reacted, shouted loudly.

"Stop ascending! This is our chance!"

Anders' voice reached the submariner's ears. The submariner didn't want to pay attention to Anders, but because the other party was an important scholar, he still patiently explained while operating the device.

"No, the previous abnormal movement in the sea will cause a whirlpool. If the whirlpool causes damage to the submarine, we will be dead!"

As soon as the words of explanation fell, as if in response to a warning to the submarine crew, a spinning tentacle suddenly appeared at the deepest bottom of the sea where no one could see.

It was an extremely huge tentacle, with a diameter of several hundred meters alone. There were also extremely huge suction cups on it, with countless suction cups tightly pressed together, enough to make a trypophobia patient faint on the spot.

This huge tentacle simply uses its tentacle tip to slowly rotate on the seabed, which drives the seawater under great pressure, and the driven seawater gradually forms a whirlpool on the seabed.

Although the vortex did not appear directly below the submarine, it coincidentally appeared not far from the submarine. When the vortex began to rotate, the submariner operating the submarine had already noticed something was wrong.

The pulling force generated by the rotation of the vortex directly pulled the submarine's rising hull. Even though the submarine crew was frantically manipulating the horizontal rudder to try to escape from the pulling force, the submarine, which was not small, could not escape from the huge pulling force.

"Damn it, this damn whirlpool is right next to us!"

The submariner's voice was trembling a little, and the other people who were diving with him gradually began to panic. The submarine could not surface smoothly, which was not good news.

"What should we do? Will the submarine be damaged here?"

"Don't talk nonsense, we will be fine. The submarine must just be temporarily unable to surface. Nothing will happen to us!"

"God bless us, God bless us."

There was a panic noise inside the submarine, but despite the panic, no one left their position because everyone knew that the more dangerous the situation was, the less they could afford to make any mistakes.

Each of them has his or her own responsibilities, and if there is even a slight mistake, it could lead to irreparable consequences!

The older scholar did not panic with the submarine soldiers, but his heart was also filled with anxiety. This was his first time going into the sea, so how could something go wrong on his first try!

I thought I was very lucky, but I didn't expect that I was the unlucky one.

He looked at the other unlucky guy, Anders, but Anders was standing there at the moment, as if he was frightened.

But only Anders himself knew that he had just heard the words mixed in with the loud noise.

And this time, the loud noise even formed a picture in his mind, a picture...an extremely terrifying picture.

It was a gigantic monster hiding in the darkness. Its head could not be seen at a glance. Its exposed body was even larger than an ordinary island. Its waving tentacles alone were thousands of meters long.

And there are countless tentacles like those that are a kilometer long. In the center of countless tentacles, there is a huge deep blue eye.

This was the scene that only Anders "heard", and it was also the reason why he stood there in a daze.

"Kraken..."

For some reason, the moment the image appeared in his mind, the name he first proposed appeared again.

Obviously compared to the Kraken, that tentacle monster is more like Cthulhu, indescribable and with thousands of tentacles.

The moment Anders whispered the name, the vortex that was pulling the submarine suddenly weakened, and along with it the pulling force.

"Quick, float up!!!"

The first person to sense it was still the submarine crew, that is, the operator of the submarine. No one was more familiar with the submarine than him, so he was the first to sense the weakening of the pulling force.

The moment he sensed it, a burst of ecstasy emerged in his heart. This was a chance to leave, and also a chance to survive!

Without any hesitation, he opened the valve of the ballast tank, and then desperately used compressed air to drain the seawater in the main ballast tank, reducing the weight of the submarine and restoring the reserve buoyancy.

In an instant, the submarine regained its buoyancy, broke away from the pulling force at an extremely fast speed, and floated towards the sea surface.

Chapter 466 Here I come

The sudden movement in the sea disrupted the plans and arrangements of the naval base. Now they no longer expect to find out anything, and the safe return of the submarine is the greatest comfort.

However, reality is often not as expected. Only four of the five submarines sent out returned, and one of the submarines disappeared without a trace, both in terms of signal and positioning.

This situation almost makes it clear that something had happened to the submarine.

The naval officer in charge of submarines finished reading the report in his hand with an almost grim face. The sinking of a submarine in the deep sea was like a piece of flesh being dug out of his heart.

This is not like before. Before the supernatural appeared, they could rescue the submarine after it sank, and they also had several rescue submarines to deal with emergencies.

But now, the sea has almost changed its appearance, and the nautical charts that were drawn before may not be correct. How could he still waste manpower and resources to rescue the submarine that is already beyond saving?

The atmosphere in the base has dropped to freezing point. The investigation should have been conducted eagerly, but it was stopped because of the sudden movement in the sea.

"Underwater investigation, temporarily suspended."

The general of the base said this with a stern face. Although he regretted it, as a general, he could not bring such emotions into work.

"We will notify the families of the deceased soldiers, and I also express my deepest regret for the loss of the two scholars."

Although he expressed regret, he didn't really care about it in his heart. He had seen many dead people before he became a general, and many people died directly or indirectly at his hands.

But he wasn't stupid enough to tell the truth. It was just a eulogy speech anyway, so he could just pick a random speech in his mind.

This short eulogy ends with everyone not giving up. In the end, just work hard and don't let the deceased down.

Finally, the four returning submarines had to report in detail what they had seen and heard in the deep sea. After all, they all happened to encounter unusual movements in the sea and were lucky enough to escape back. It would be unfair to themselves if they didn't report something.

Anders vaguely recounted his experiences in the deep sea, which were similar to the reports of other scholars. The recorder did not make things difficult for him and just waved his hand to let him go.

What these scholars observed was not as good as that of the submarine soldiers in their base. They were indeed just a group of theoretical experts, the recorder thought silently as he watched the scholars who looked frightened after getting off the submarine.

To outsiders, Anders was also frightened by the unusual movement in the sea, but in fact he was frightened by the image that emerged in his mind.

The strange scene was deeply engraved in his mind and he could not forget it no matter what.

Rather than being a sea monster that is simply a huge monster, it is more like an evil god with a monster body, weird, but divine.

"Divine? More like Cthulhu."

Anders suppressed his wild thoughts. Although the Cthulhu mythology is also called a mythology, its essence is just a modern science fiction work.

If this world really becomes a world of K-system, then just wait for death, there is no hope.

After a while, this group of scholars were notified that they could leave, and what happened next was not something they could participate in.

Anders also followed the group of scholars to leave the base. His choice this time was the same as last time. He did not tell anyone about the strange things that happened to him.

Last time I heard words, this time I heard pictures, will I hear videos this time?

After saying goodbye to his mentor, Anders left quickly, but this time he did not go home, but went directly to the beach.

The beach that changed his life, though not by much.

The rocky beach was still deserted. After the frequent unusual movements in the sea, even ordinary people noticed something unusual.

Therefore, even fewer people came to the beach, which was already deserted. However, this was convenient for Anders, as he liked to be alone in peace and quiet.

If there is someone around, he can't let go of himself.

On the beach, Anders stood on a tall boulder, facing the sea, opened his arms, and embraced the sea again.

"I am coming!!!"

He roared towards the sea. Unlike the roar in the valley, the roar towards the sea had no echo, and the sound was absorbed by the vast sea surface.

Anders waited for a moment, and nothing happened.

He shook his head and laughed, feeling that his behavior just now was a bit stupid. Fortunately, there was no one here and no one saw this scene.

Then he sat down on the stone under his feet. He would get tired if he stood for a long time, not to mention that he was already a little exhausted.
