The monster had already disappeared into the curtain of rain.
The three of them did not hesitate. They quickly got to their feet and left.
The rain grew heavier, mingled with flashes of lightning and rolling thunder, as everyone hurried forward through the downpour.
They had only gone half a kilometer.
Suddenly, heavy footsteps sounded behind them. The ground trembled faintly, as though an earthquake had struck.
Everyone's hearts jolted, and they turned to look.
"Rumble!"
A blinding bolt of lightning tore across the sky. Heaven and earth suddenly blazed bright, revealing a huge, indistinct figure in the curtain of rain, striding toward them. Each step sent water splashing in all directions.
It was another monster of the same kind as before.
"Damn it. There's more than one." Luo Jingwen cursed.
Fortunately, the other party was only walking at a normal pace and showed no intention of chasing them.
The distance between them steadily widened.
A few minutes later, the three hid behind an oil-storage tank and carefully watched.
Three, four... In just three hours, a total of twelve monsters had returned from the ocean.
"What do you think those monsters are doing on the seafloor?" Zhu Xueqing asked gravely.
"They definitely aren't catching fish!" Chen Shouyi said with a light laugh. Then something stirred in his heart, and he exchanged a glance with the other two.
"Rumble, rumble..."
Another bolt of lightning streaked across the sky.
Everyone's hair stood on end!
"Damn it, they really are looking for that nuclear submarine. Someone betrayed us. Those damn human traitors." Luo Jingwen slapped his thigh and spoke in a deep voice.
He stood up and paced back and forth anxiously.
This time, it was nothing like the tactical nuclear warhead with a yield of one kiloton that had gone missing before.
