Chapter 239 Has the Eagle Nation gone mad?
At this moment, the culprit, Lin Mo, had already shut down the thrusters again.
Having lost its buoyancy, the Pangu mech, like a silent reef, quietly submerged and completely disappeared from the Eagle Nation's detection equipment.
"Pangu, help me plan my next target."
[Pangu AI: Okay, planning the next goal...]
[Pangu AI: Target locked. The aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle is located at your 7 o'clock position, 12 kilometers away.]
"good!"
Lin Mo excitedly clenched his fist, maneuvering the Pangu mech to stride forward again in the dark seabed, rushing toward its next target.
Do it the same way!
First evade, then rise to the surface and cut the rudder blade!
Back off, blast the propellers!
Then it submerged and disappeared without a trace!
Twenty minutes later.
The bridge of the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle was also filled with deathly silence and panic.
"Report to the flagship! We have lost our momentum and direction! Repeat! We have lost our momentum and direction!"
On the USS Liberty, when Jackson heard that the aircraft carrier to his side was being attacked by an unidentified object, he was still cursing a bunch of useless people, thinking they were trying to desert.
After all, both sides had activated their fire control radars, and the next step was simply to open fire.
If war breaks out, it will be another world war!
But now, the devastating news from the second aircraft carrier struck him like a thunderbolt.
"What did you say?! Say it again!"
"General! The Charles de Gaulle reports that they have been attacked in the exact same way as the Queen Elizabeth!"
"According to the divers' inspection, the rudder blades were severed and the propeller was destroyed!"
"General, this is no coincidence! This was a premeditated, systematic attack!"
"There's a weapon we can't detect that's taking down our aircraft carriers one by one!"
The entire bridge was instantly enveloped in a chilling fear.
The most terrifying enemy is the unknown one.
Beneath the deep sea, a ghost hunting aircraft carriers has officially begun his hunting performance.
Lin Mo looked at the aircraft carrier icon marked in red on the screen, and the smile on his lips grew wider and wider.
"Babies, don't rush, one at a time."
He piloted the Pangu mech, taking another long stride in the dark seabed.
Don't ask why he didn't chase the ships; those things are too fast, he couldn't catch them.
Moreover, he carried limited ammunition, and most importantly, a destroyer is nowhere near as valuable as an aircraft carrier!
Panic spread like wildfire through the fleet's communication channels.
At this moment, Lin Mo's screen was locked onto the largest target.
[Pangu AI: Next target confirmed—enemy fleet flagship, the aircraft carrier USS Freedom!]
Inside the cockpit, Lin Mo, panting heavily as he ran, heard a series of urgent red alarms, which put his nerves on edge.
[Pangu AI: Warning! The target is deploying a drag-and-drop sonar array. All active defense systems have been activated!]
[Pangu AI: Enemy destroyers and nuclear submarines have been detected returning to support! Anti-submarine helicopters are conducting carpet bombing with depth charges!]
[Pangu AI: Continue advancing, the risk of damage to the machine has increased to 60%! The 'Freedom' is moving away at full speed, it is recommended to abandon the target!]
On the holographic screen, the huge red icon representing the flagship "Freedom" is receding into the distance.
Countless small points of light, representing destroyers and submarines, were frantically converging on his direction.
"Damn, that was a quick reaction!"
Lin Mo cursed under his breath, wanting to maneuver the mecha forward one more time.
Right now!
"boom--!!!"
A deep, muffled thud came from the right.
An unparalleled, terrifying shockwave instantly slammed into the Pangu mech's torso.
The six-meter-tall steel giant was as if it had been shoved hard by an invisible giant hand, and the entire mech suddenly rolled to the left.
The cockpit spun around, and despite the cushioning protection, Lin Mo still felt a violent wave of dizziness, with stars flashing before his eyes.
[Pangu AI: Warning! The right outer armor has been hit by a shockwave! Internal wiring is fluctuating by 3%!]
The AI's cold, impersonal voice brought Lin Mo back to his senses.
Damn it, this is just the aftermath of the depth charge. If it happens a few more times, the mech will be fine, but he will be in trouble!
The active sonar had already covered the area like a net, and anti-submarine helicopters overhead were dropping bombs like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
If we don't leave now, these bastards will really pile us up with bombs and kill us on the seabed!
"retreat!"
Lin Mo gritted his teeth, enduring the dizziness, and manipulated the Pangu mecha to change direction. He then took off running towards the deep-sea rift in the opposite direction.
Goodbye, Freedom.
I'll spare your life today!
……
Meanwhile, at the bridge command center of the aircraft carrier "Kunlun".
The atmosphere was extremely eerie.
Commander-in-Chief General Liu and a group of staff officers stared wide-eyed at the live footage transmitted back from the satellite on the main screen, their faces filled with question marks.
"Report! The main force of the enemy's combined fleet is accelerating its retreat!"
"Report! Enemy fire control radar illumination has been completely canceled!"
"What...what's going on?" a young staff officer muttered to himself.
"Is the US backing out? Have they chickened out?"
"Something's not right!" another senior staff officer pointed at the screen.
"Look, they're not retreating, they're acting like... they're having a fit?"
On the screen, four aircraft carriers, accompanied by a large number of escort ships, were desperately retreating, but dared not go far.
They surrounded a sea area, like frightened hedgehogs, frantically dumping depth charges into the sea.
Water columns shot skyward from the sea, and explosions continued unabated.
The scene was less like an anti-submarine operation and more like a group of burly men circling a bathtub, screaming in terror while stomping their feet and dancing wildly.
Are they frying fish?
"Check if our submarine was the reason for that?"
In the command center, the oppressive atmosphere was broken by whispers; everyone was bewildered by the perplexing actions of the American fleet.
General Liu frowned deeply. He and the U.S. Navy were old rivals, and he had never seen anything like this before.
"Order all units to maintain Level 1 combat readiness and not to pursue!" he ordered in a deep voice.
Although we don't understand what tricks the enemy is playing, their main force is still intact, and their three times the number of ships is not just for show.
Pursuing them rashly would be too risky.
"General, there's something even stranger," an aide said, pointing to two other motionless points of light.
"The Queen Elizabeth and Charles de Gaulle aircraft carriers remain stationary."
"The other four aircraft carriers are all retreating, what's with these two? Are they staying behind to cover the retreat?"
No one can answer this question.
Just as the entire command center was plunged into great confusion, the communications soldier suddenly stood up.
"General! We have received your encrypted communication request!"
"Huh? Bring him in!" General Liu asked, puzzled.
The screen switched, and Lin Mo's face, which looked somewhat tired but had a mischievous smile on his lips, appeared on the screen.
He wasn't wearing a military uniform, and the background appeared to be a small, metallic space.
"General Liu."
"Comrade Lin Mo!" General Liu was even more puzzled when he saw him.
Although he had never met Lin Mo, he knew him and had seen his photos. Lin Mo was the chief commander of the New Hope Project, an enigmatic man.
His name is frequently heard in the research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and among scholars, including Academician Qian.
General Liu's heart stirred.
"Is the sudden 'madness' of the Eagle Nation's fleet related to you?"
