Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat! Chapter 369 - 19: This Fish Pond’s Cannon Fodder Is Contract
Everyone felt a sense of unease, and the Little rmaid locked in the fish tank on the deck suddenly began to thrash about restlessly.
Everyone on the ship felt a sharp pain in their ears, like a needle stirring inside, while eerie waves rippled across the calm sea surface not far away. Jiang Lai noticed this and slowly picked up the intercom in her hand.
"Both teams underwater, prepare yourselves. Targets are approaching."
Zhou Wenjin stood beside Jiang Lai, watching her calmly giving commands.
"How did you know they were here?"
"Because I can understand what they’re saying."
Zhou Wenjin thought she was joking, feeling a bit nervous from the threat closing in from all directions, yet he maintained a steady gaze at the horizon.
"These rmaids, they do have quite the ambitions."
"rmaids are half-human after all, so their greed is just as insatiable."
They had used bait to lure out Jiang Lai’s position, and here she was, willingly delivering herself to them.
At that mont, under the shroud of mist and rain, dozens of fins sliced through the waves with incredible speed, rushing toward the giant ship from all around.
The voice ca through the intercom.
"Chief, targets sighted, requesting permission to fire."
"No need, they’re just sharks. Focus on safety, and wait for my orders to shoot."
All weapons on the deck were trained on the sea surface, and Jiang Lai raised her hand to signal to wait for her command.
Zhou Wenjin tensed up beside her; after all, the looming threat from the sea seed every bit like a rmaid attack, yet Jiang Lai confidently stated they were just sharks.
"Shark fins don’t look like that. Are you sure they’re just sharks?"
Jiang Lai nodded.
Zhou Wenjin couldn’t figure out where Jiang Lai’s confidence ca from; with visibility obscured by the mist and rain pattering on the sea, she maintained her calm and steady deanor as if in a lab, directing everything smoothly.
After waiting for so ti, the sea indeed cald once again, and those underwater could see clearly that they really were just sharks, though their fins had been modified, evidently to cause confusion.
Only a species with greater strength and intelligence than sharks, like the rmaids, could control and manipulate them underwater.
Just then, another rapid movent erged from beneath the sea, identical waves forming around the ship as before.
"Chief, it looks like another wave of sharks."
"Deploy the luminous agents. All departnts prepare for firing."
With Jiang Lai’s command, everyone sprang into action, tossing luminous agents into the sea. The next second, the previously murky and chaotic seascape lit up with streaks of rapidly moving blue light, akin to lanterns illuminating the sea depths.
Electric guns imdiately targeted the fast-moving blue lights below the surface and started firing crazily.
Simultaneously, bone spikes pierced through the water, aiming for those inside the cage. Just as the spikes were about to pierce their targets’ hearts, huge nets suddenly dropped over the cage, made of special tal with a dense sh that caught the spikes, rendering them harmless.
Anyone who hit their target pulled on the ropes attached to them, and as the cage was slowly hoisted upward by the winches, an electrocuted rmaid was lifted from the water.
One by one, they were hauled onto the deck, their dorsal fins still raised defiantly. Researchers behind Jiang Lai stepped forward, injecting the rmaids with pre-prepared neurotoxins.
"Take them away."
Zhou Wenjin was speechless for a long mont, overwheld by the scene unfolding before him.
These were no longer the fierce and frightening rmaids they once feared, but indiscriminate catches, easier than sea fishing.
Soon, the rmaids realized close-range attacks were impossible. The next mont, the ship’s hull resounded with chilling crashing noises as if large creatures were ramming it, causing the entire vessel to rock and creak ominously.
People on deck could barely stand, though Jiang Lai, holding onto the railing, remained unaffected.
"Chief, approximately three rmaids detected violently ramming the hull, with another dozen waiting nearby."
"It’s fine, let them keep ramming."
In the past, giant ships capsized because of the terrifying power of rmaid charges, capable of punching holes in a few minutes, and once seawater flooded the cabins, it was a feast for the rmaids.
This ti, rmaids launched attacks on the ship’s hull, fueled by anger and hatred, their strength formidable. The steel plates of the hull deford after a few hits, more rmaids joining to ram together, as people onboard felt like they were on a little wooden boat, rocking back and forth.
Many looked at Jiang Lai, their expressions uneasy.
"Chief, if we don’t act, they’ll breach the hull in less than a minute."
"No worries, I worry they won’t break it."
Zhou Wenjin was baffled and shocked, questioning Jiang Lai’s intentions. If the hull breaks, they would be in grave danger.
Or had Jiang Lai arranged rescue ships already?
As the words left his mouth, crew mbers from the lower decks rushed onto the deck.
"Chief, just as you expected, the first layer of the steel hull has been breached!"
Jiang Lai nodded and looked at Zhou Wenjin.
"It’s about ti to close the net."
anwhile, the rmaids, having worked tirelessly to breach the hull, had no ti to rejoice when a green liquid suddenly poured from the fissure, enveloping them swiftly.
The next second, the rmaids under the ship started twitching and writhing, as electric guns fired, effortlessly hauling the rmaids onto the deck.
One by one, they lay sprawled across the entire deck.
Researchers took advantage of their powerless state, injecting toxins and cutting their dorsal fins one by one.
Jiang Lai walked to one of the rmaids, bent down, lips moving silently, yet the rmaid’s blue eyes widened, pupils constricted.
"I gave you a chance."
The rmaid couldn’t believe hearing its language from a human. After regaining composure, Jiang Lai pointed to a sea area not far away.
