Chapter 744: Hunted by an Ichthyosaur

Reef and Brother Black seemed rather composed when the abrupt shaking occurred. After all, they had experienced naval warfares in the Pirates of the Caribbean World.

Instead, Zi was startled and her expression turned sour.

Meanwhile, Sheyan's eyes were shut as he carefully felt the tremors of the submarine.

All of a sudden, he reached to grab his railing and a second later, another round of violent tremors occurred! This time, it seemed as though the entire submarine swayed over 60 degrees to the side. If not for the contestants grabbing on their bedside railings, they would've fell onto the floor.

Zi's countenance changed drastically.

"The submarine is shaking so violently, seems like an huge crisis!"

Following that, Sheyan hopped off his bed. Moving deftly, he shut the watertight bulkhead of the region and spun its rotating valve speedily.

Every cabin region in the submarine had an extra watertight bulkhead to preserve the submarine in case of leakages.

Proceeding from there, Sheyan rummaged around for some items. In the end, he snatched a black board looking thing from a hidden wall compartment and two ordinarily looking candles before storing them.

That board was an Oxygen Regenerator which constituted of layers of Sodium Peroxide sheets. When used, a chemical reaction caused it to absorb Carbon Dioxide and release Oxygen. Each board could be used for 1.5 hours and shared between 40 humans.

The candle was manufactured with Sodium Chlorite and other chemical elements to produce an emergency oxygen supply. In an emergency, the combusting candle would produce pure oxygen that supports 100 humans breathing for an hour.

As such, Sheyan prepared his contingencies for the worst outcome of being trapped in a watertight cabin. With the three items, they could hold on till mission failure and return to the nightmare realm; besides, preserving one's life was more important than mission failure.

The submarine continued experiencing tremors, as though a gigantic whale was repeatedly nudging against the submarine.

Over time, Sheyan's expression turned increasingly unpleasant. In this deep sea, once the submarine is destroyed, water would eventually leak in and drown even the strongest of contestants!

If not, they would be crushed by the water pressure. Even a frantic ascension back to sea level could cause the nitrogen in one's body to rapidly bubble under the atmospheric pressure, leading to thrombosis and thus threatening one's life.

A massive round of intense tremors later, one could hear distinct creaks emerging from the steel structure of the submarine. Dust clouds floated in the air and their headlamps flickered and dimmed.

Sheyan then pressed down onto his bedside railing with an immensely ugly expression, and said.

"Not good, the situation isn't going to improve but seems to be worsening. Zi, we must assume control of this submarine, your connection seems rather unreliable."

At present, Zi's complexion was also ugly and seemed like she had sea sickness. She nodded in response.

Sheyan immediately opened the cabin door and dashed out like a gust of wind. Brother Black tailed him and asked curiously.

"Boss, you know how to operate a submarine?"

Sheyan bluntly replied.

"Nope, but I can order them. Have you forgotten what title I'm wielding?"

Soon after, they discovered wounded casualties ahead. A submarine sailor was on the ground and his head was bleeding profusely, while a female sailor beside was crying for assistance. Alas, from the state of his distorted neck, the sailor's life had long left his body.

Sheyan continued advancing forward. Another sailor sprinted towards him in frenzy, and Sheyan quickly grabbed his collar.

"Oi, where's the captain? WHERE'S the captain? What the hell is happening?!!"

A frightened submarine sailor explained while stuttering bitterly.

"A-a d-d-dinosaur! A d-dinosaur must be attacking the submarine! Sir Capote knocked his head and fainted."

Sheyan, with his 'Pirate Captain' title wielded, immediately slapped the guy and roared.

"Very well, then I shall now assume control of this submarine! Get to your posts at once if you don't wish to die."

That sailor wanted to object but Mogensha was pointing his black barrel at his head. He immediately turned and dashed off.

*******************

In the chaotic main control room of the submarine.

Some were providing emergency aid, some scrambled to give commands while others argued bitterly.

Sheyan stormed in and roared.

"I am Major Seaman. In view of your lack of response or measure to this crisis on hand, I shall assume command over this submarine now!'

A scar-faced, hoodlum looking male slanted his head and walked forward

"Ohh, is a Major so terrific???? My apologies sir, this is a private submarine, who are you to assume control?"

The next second later, Mogensha took aim and splattered his head! The guy flew backwards with blood and brain pulp splattering onto the wall behind.

Sheyan then announced with an awe-inspiring voice.

"Any other objections? Who's the Chief mate?"

The humans present were all shaking and quiet in fear upon witnessing crimson blood pouring out from the corpse. They understood this was a man that would murder without blinking.

Sheyan asked again and this time, a bearded man, who was providing emergency first aid, glanced over with a wry smile.

"I am."

Sheyan indifferently ordered.

"Report the situation to me."

The bearded man answered.

"Sir, we are being assaulted by an Ichthyosaur. These are hundred ton monsters upon reaching maturity, even the largest Nile Crocodile wouldn't escape the fate of being chomped in two. Fortunately, the Ichthyosaur assaulting us should be a fledgling."

"How long more can we hold out?" Sheyan asked the most crucial question.

"Truth to be told, transporting you guys to Isla Nublar is the biggest deal we've received in the past three months. We are actually waiting for your remuneration to overhaul this big boy. This first wave of assault has probably damaged the frame, if things carry on like this, we absolutely won't last beyond ten minutes."

Sheyan frowned and replied.

"Ten minutes...you mean, this submarine doesn't have any defense capabilities?'

"If Major sir views the taser gun above as a defense capability…." The bearded man replied. "Then, yes."

The submarine was normally employed for shallow waters. Occasionally, they encountered disturbances from sharks and octopi, hence, the reason for a taser gun.

Sheyan leaned this before. Although a submarine was vastly different from naval ships, but since this submarine was remodeled for public use, the system of operations would be pretty simple.

He quickly announced through the submarine's intercom his assumption of control. At this moment, his 'Pirate Captain' title was naturally activated and improved the speed of the submarine.

Sheyan then commanded Mogensha.

"Go to the engine room at once. If anyone dares to violate the order, you know what to do."

Mogensha hastily rushed off. The submarine wasn't massive in the first place and after 30 seconds, Mogensha's voice transmitted through an intercom.

"Boss, I've contained the situation on my side."

Sheyan then ordered.

"First, get them to slow the submarine's velocity."

The group was instantly astounded and was about to refute, but when they noticed Sheyan's incisive glare, their words choked back into their throats.

Following the slowing of the submarine, Sheyan coldly inquired.

"What's the power reserve of the taser gun?"

The Chief mate replied.

"If used sparingly, then roughly only 5-6 times."

Sheyan proceeded to activate the 'Gold Pearl of the Caribbean Sea', and substantially raised his perceptive sense.

Instantaneously, he felt a surge of tremendous menace around the submarine. Sheyan ignored them but tightly gripped the power catch of the taser gun.

Soon, Sheyan sensed a menace probing around before closing in. He could even faintly sense this menace widening its massive devouring mouth.

In this instant, Sheyan fiercely pulled down power catch to the maximum. Twelve shockers on the submarine's surface was instantly overloaded with power. The electrical amount sufficient for 5-6 times of usage, unleashing at once!!!

The reason for slowing the submarine, was so the pursuing Ichthyosaur couldn't evade the taser gun with its agile supremacy. With the submarine slowing down, the Ichthyosaur naturally slowed as well and approached cautiously.

Furthermore, the taser gun was fired when the Ichthyosaur was about to chomp down onto the submarine.

Following that, the electricity jolted through the taser gun and accomplished the deed.

Amidst the pitch darkness of the seawater, a dazzling spectrum of high intensity azure sparks flashed. Even the taser gun couldn't withstand the overload and was utterly burnt smoking.

Of course, one could imagine how massive was the damage done to this Ichthyosaur!

Its first reaction was to pull away, hastily speeding up to an unbelievable pace with mere seconds. This also indicated how sensible it was for Sheyan to order for the submarine to slow down.

As the Ichthyosaur struggled agonizingly, the crowd in the submarine instantly felt a wave of pressure sweeping in. This was due to momentum of the seawater caused by the struggling intensity of the dinosaur's tail and body, that shoved the submarine away.

Sheyan tightly clenched the intercom. His legs seemed to be anchored into the ground. He didn't stagger at all from the pressure but solemnly ordered.

"Engine room, full speed ahead!"

The Chief Mate sullenly mumbered.

"It's no use, we can't shrug it off. After this submarine's remodelling, it has lost an additional power engine and its maximum velocity isn't worth mentioning."
