Which modern fisherman doesn’t have a few DJI drones on his boat to detect fish schools?

As a result, the scenes of the most humiliating military failure since the founding of the United States, which the U.S. military tried so hard to hide, were recorded from all angles by countless "wild war correspondents" and uploaded to major video platforms around the world through satellite networks at the fastest speed.

The Internet exploded.

On YouTube, a video titled "Exclusive! US Army's New Super Soldier Encounters Mysterious Giant Creature During Exercise! Entire Unit Wiped Out!" garnered over 50 million views in just half an hour, with the comment section flooding with hundreds of comments per second.

"Holy Shit! What the heck is that?! Is it a submarine? I can't see the whole thing!"

"Look at the splash and the speed! This is definitely not any known man-made submarine! This is... this is the Kraken! It's the Leviathan! Oh my God, the biblical doomsday has arrived!"

"Those guys in armor look so majestic one second and then look like flies caught in a toilet bowl the next. It makes me laugh!"

On domestic platforms such as Bilibili and Weibo, the atmosphere is even more joyful, almost like the Chinese New Year.

In a live broadcast room of a powerful marketing account named "Listening to the Wind's Toad", the host was so excited that his face turned red and he was explaining the clear video with saliva flying.

"Family! Family, did you see that?! That back! That graceful curve! That overwhelming momentum! I'm telling you, what a ridiculous Leviathan! This is definitely our country's most advanced, yet-to-be-released Type 09X strategic attack nuclear submarine! Look at the way it creates vortexes; it must be equipped with our latest 'sea-based positional weapon' based on gravitational wave technology! And that collision—it's a visually stunning display of violence!"

The barrage of comments rolled by like crazy:

[Holy crap! There's a Gundam underwater!]

[Well done! I love seeing the Eagle Sauce get humiliated!]

[When a whale falls, all things come to life! When the submarine appears, the God's Chosen kneel down in admiration! Brothers, put the public screen on the tear!]

Faced with this overwhelming amount of "iron evidence" that couldn't be deleted or refuted, the American media was completely on edge. If they could have excused the livestream interruption with a "technical malfunction," now it was like being publicly stripped naked and slapped with a "loser" stamp on their buttocks.

"Hurry! Send a helicopter over! I don't care what method you use, you must get me first-hand live footage! We are CNN! We must tell the world what the truth is!" CNN's ace female reporter Christine roared angrily at the director on the other end of the phone.

Her reporting team was currently riding in a Bell 429 helicopter, rushing to the sea area where the incident occurred at the fastest speed.

The mysterious giant beast in the sea seemed to have heard the media's "call" and had no intention of keeping them waiting for long.

"Oh my God! Oh my God! Look down there!" The helicopter's coaxial camera operator, through his high-powered zoom lens, was the first to spot the heart-stopping scene. His voice was distorted by extreme excitement and fear. "It...it's attacking the USS Jones! It's attacking an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer!"

Christine immediately went to the monitor and saw that on the vast sea, the dark blue back like a moving island was suddenly crashing into the destroyer "John Paul Jones", which looked much smaller in front of it, with an unstoppable and terrifying momentum!

The CIC of the DDG-53, USS John Paul Jones, was already in chaos.

"Captain! The radar can't lock onto the target! Its signal characteristics... it's like... it's blended in with the background noise of the entire ocean! I can't catch it at all!" The radar operator tapped on the console with his fingers flying, but the target light spot on the screen was like a naughty ghost, appearing and disappearing from time to time, making it impossible to establish stable fire control parameters.

"Sonar department report! The underwater target is traveling at over 70 knots! Oh my god! What the hell is this monster?! Its voiceprint characteristics are constantly changing, and there's no match in our database at all!"

"Fire! Fire!" Captain Johnson's eyes were red, and he looked like a madman. He grabbed the communicator and gave a roaring order to the entire ship, "Main gun! MK-45 main gun! Manual visual aim! Accurate fire! Blast it into pieces!"

"Bang! Bang!"

The 5-inch main gun on the destroyer's front deck let out a dull roar, and the heavy shells whistled across the sky and slammed hard into the huge blue back.

“Ouch——!!!”

The shell did hit the target, and a roar full of anger came from the sea.

The shell exploded on the smooth scales, stirring up water splashes and a puff of green smoke.

But that's about it.

When the smoke cleared, only a few shallow pits appeared on the dark blue back, and even the outermost scales could not be penetrated.

This insignificant attack, on the contrary, completely aroused the ferocity of the giant beast!

"Close-in defense system! Phalanx! Free fire!"

“Da da da da da——!!!”

The Phalanx close-in defense turrets deployed on both sides of the ship began to spin wildly, and the six-barrel 20mm Vulcan cannons spewed out an impenetrable metal barrage composed of depleted uranium armor-piercing shells at a rate of thousands of rounds per minute.

However, this deadly barrage that was enough to shatter any incoming missiles, when it hit the giant beast, it made a series of "ding-dong" sounds, like hail hitting a tin roof, and could only emit countless dazzling sparks, which could not even tickle it!

At the moment when this last defensive barrier was declared ineffective, the giant beast suddenly accelerated and leaped out of the surging sea water in a posture that completely violated biomechanics!

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Inside the CIC, Captain Johnson and all the officers stared intently at the main screen, their pupils dilated to the limit due to extreme fear.

They finally saw the full appearance of this deep-sea demon!

It was a slender and robust creature covered in deep-sea blue and covered with fine scales of fluid dynamics, full of the contradictory beauty of strength and elegance.

Its webbed forelimbs stretched out as it jumped out of the water, like two huge oars, and its sharp claws flashed a cold metallic light.

Its hind legs and long, powerful tail remained submerged, but visually, its overall length was at least a hundred meters—a terrifying behemoth the size of an entire frigate! Its head was as massive as the fiercest theropod dinosaurs of prehistoric times, imbued with a tyrannical aura, yet possessed the slender, flowing lines of a giant lizard. Most bizarrely, at the rear end of its head grew thin, long whiskers that fluttered in the wind like ornaments, gleaming faintly in the sunlight, lending this ferocious creature the majesty and mystery of a dragon from Eastern mythology.

"boom--!!!"

With a terrifying roar that seemed to tear the entire battleship apart, this ferocious beast that seemed to come from ancient times pounced heavily on the middle of the hull of the "John Paul Jones"!

The thousands-ton steel battleship let out a teeth-grinding "crunch" sound under its terrifying weight and impact force, and the hull suddenly tilted to one side, almost capsizing on the spot!

Its claws, as sharp as an excavator bucket, easily tore open the thick alloy deck of the destroyer, just like tearing open a piece of fragile tin foil!

"No! Aegis! Our phased array radar!" An officer let out a desperate howl.

The beast's huge jaws, full of sharp teeth, suddenly thrust forward and bit the Aegis system phased array radar mast above the bridge, which was worth hundreds of millions of dollars and symbolized the pinnacle of U.S. naval technology. Then, it easily twisted it off from the root like breaking a chocolate bar and chewed it into pieces. Countless sophisticated electronic components and broken alloy fragments fell from the corners of its mouth like garbage.

Then, it seemed to become interested in the smell of gunpowder emanating from the vertical launch silos below the deck. With a waving of its sharp claws, it lifted and tore open the sturdy launch silo covers in a few strokes, and pulled out the ready-to-fire "Tomahawk" and "Standard" missiles inside like bird eggs, and crushed them into scrap metal with its huge claws.

An indescribable aura of terror, originating from the most primitive and purest predators, instantly enveloped the entire warship like an invisible spiritual plague.

A terrifying, indescribable sound whispered an incomprehensible whisper in the ears of all the crew members.

The psychological defenses of those naval officers and soldiers who were usually well-trained and determined completely collapsed after witnessing this mythical and unmatched absolute power.

"Monster! It's a monster!"

"Run! Run for your life!"

"Don't come over! Don't come over!"

Screams, cries, and desperate roars echoed one after another, and the warship was instantly plunged into apocalyptic chaos! The crew, who had been doing their duties, now fled in panic like ants whose nest had been poked. Some ran around on the tilting deck like headless flies, eventually slipping into the sea; others, driven insane by excessive fear, huddled in a corner, trembling and babbling incoherently; some even chose to jump into the sea to escape, trying to escape this steel hell that was being dismantled alive.

Inside the CIC, Captain Johnson sat slumped in the command chair, his eyes dull, muttering to himself in a daze.

"It's over... It's all over..." He stared at the hellish scene on the screen, the last glimmer of light in his eyes completely extinguished. He muttered, "Sound the abandon ship alarm... Sound it..."

28. Don't shoot! We're really here for a friendly visit!

"Oh my God...oh my God..."

The voice of CNN's ace female reporter Christiane Amanpour is being transmitted to hundreds of millions of screens around the world via satellite signals, with an uncontrollable and violent trembling mixed with fear and morbid excitement.

Behind her, the rotors of the Bell 429 helicopter were making a huge roar, but all this noise could not cover up her voice, which was slightly shrill due to the rapid surge of adrenaline.

"Dear viewers, I'm currently over the western Pacific Ocean! Just now, we witnessed... I can't even find the right words to describe this mythical sight!"

"An Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer, the USS John Paul Jones, one of our Navy's most powerful surface combatants...it...it is being dismantled alive by a sea monster far larger than we could have imagined!!"

The coaxial cameraman was obviously an experienced veteran. Even in the violently shaking helicopter, he still kept the lens locked on the distant sea.

Through the high-definition telephoto lens, audiences around the world can clearly see the purgatory-like scene.

The scaly, armor-plated, pale blue beast used its crane-like forelimbs and sharp claws to easily tear apart the destroyer's superstructure. Radar antennas, communication arrays, missile silo covers... these military installations, cast from high-strength alloy steel, were as fragile as cardboard before it.

It even used its huge jaws full of sharp teeth to bite the destroyer's bridge, and with a teeth-grinding sound of metal twisting, it tore it off the hull and threw it into the surging sea like garbage!

"Did you see that?! 'Aegis'! That 'Aegis' combat system worth hundreds of millions of dollars was just... treated as a snack by it!" Christine's voice broke due to excessive excitement.

"This isn't a battle anymore! This is... a one-sided torture! A public execution of humanity's top modern military technology by a transcendental behemoth!"

"Oh my God, this is definitely a Pulitzer Prize-level scoop! I can even smell a raise and bonus!" Christine screamed wildly in her heart, but her professionalism allowed her to keep reporting quickly and clearly.

However, the terrifying beast, after dismantling the superstructure of the "Jones" and confirming that it had completely lost its power and ability to resist, seemed still not satisfied.

It let out a low, seemingly disdainful roar, and its huge body dived into the water. Then, with its broad and powerful head, it pressed against the scarred bow of the destroyer.

Then, under the incredulous gaze of audiences around the world, this giant beast actually began to push this huge steel ship with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons, swimming slowly towards the coast of Luzon Island!

Its movements appear effortless, more like a blue whale playfully pushing a small boat forward while frolicking in the ocean.

On the sea surface, a wide waterway full of surrealism, composed of warships and behemoths, was left.

"What...what is it doing? Where is it pushing the Jones?!" Christine's voice was full of confusion and anticipation.

The media helicopters and drones that followed closely behind, like sharks smelling blood, followed closely and took in this incredible scene from every angle.

As the distance got closer, the angle of the sunlight changed, and the camera was finally able to capture more and more amazing details of the giant beast.

"Audience! Now we can see its full appearance more clearly!" Christine's voice rose with excitement again. "It's unlike any sea creature we know of! It combines the ferocity of a prehistoric behemoth with... the elegance of some mythical creature! Look at its flowing lines! The blue scales covering its body, like deep-sea gems! And those... those streamers behind its head, like dragon whiskers! It's like the 'Jiaolong' of Eastern mythology come to life!"

"We can now basically confirm that this is the third supernatural creature to appear publicly, following the Mothman and the New York State dragon! I repeat, it's the third! Moreover, its power far exceeds the previous two!"

In the sky, the long-awaited air support finally arrived.

Two F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jets, which took off urgently from a nearby aircraft carrier battle group, made a deafening roar and dived down from the clouds. The Harpoon anti-ship missiles mounted under their wings flashed a dangerous cold light.

"Attack! Lock on to that monster! Blow it to pieces!" The roar from the aircraft carrier's flagship CIC reached the pilot's ears through the encrypted channel.

However, the pilots soon fell into the same despair as the "Jones".

"Calling 'Nest'! 'Nest'! We can't lock onto the target! There is no stable echo of it on the radar at all! It's like a ghost!" The voice of the lead pilot was full of frustration.

"Toggle infrared lock! Try infrared!"

"No! Its surface temperature is almost identical to the surrounding seawater! Even infrared can't catch it!"

"Damn it! Then use manual sights! Like the heroes of World War II! Dive and drop!"

Dive bombing? Attack a monster that can easily destroy a destroyer?

The two pilots looked at each other and saw the question of "Are you crazy or am I crazy" in each other's eyes.

Faced with a supernatural creature of this level, any pilot's courage would be crushed by the fear from the depths of his soul; not to mention, can the performance of the "super plastic worm" meet the requirements of "dive bombing"?

In the end, they could only symbolically drop the bombs and watch them hit the monster dozens of kilometers away without any accuracy.

At this point, the U.S. military could only watch as the "Leviathan"-like behemoth, like a victorious general, proudly pushed its huge "trophy" - a destroyer representing the glory of the U.S. Navy, across dozens of nautical miles on the sea, and finally, pushed it heavily onto an uninhabited beach in the north of Luzon Island!

"Boom——!!!"

The thousands of tons of steel ship rushed onto the beach under the huge inertia, crushing the reefs and bushes along the way. Finally, hundreds of meters away from the coastline, accompanied by a harsh sound of metal friction, it ran aground there, like a monument of shame.

However, the nightmare is not over yet.

"It...it came ashore! Oh my God! It crawled ashore!" Christine's scream rang out again.

After dropping the warship on the beach, the dragon didn't immediately return to the sea. Its sturdy, powerful limbs stretched from the water, its claws digging deep into the sand. Then, with a dexterity and agility that belied its enormous size, it calmly climbed onto land.

Its lizard-like posture was imbued with a primal and untamed beauty. With every movement, beneath its pale blue scale-covered skin, its wiry muscles rippled and wriggled like waves, brimming with explosive power. Its moist scales gleamed in the sunlight, and water droplets slid down its sleek body, leaving wet streaks on the sand.

Several Luzon Army armed helicopters, which had been waiting on the shore, immediately launched an attack on it.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!" Several Hellfire missiles came roaring, trailing flames.

But the "dragon" just raised its eyelids in disdain and suddenly opened its bloody mouth.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!" Several ice-white "water arrows" that were several times faster than the missiles themselves were accurately ejected from its mouth and intercepted the incoming missiles in mid-air!

"Boom! Boom!" A series of explosions sounded in the air, like fireworks blooming prematurely.

Immediately afterwards, before the helicopter pilots could react from their shock, a "water cannon" that was dozens of times thicker than the previous water arrow gushed out of its mouth again, hitting a hovering armed helicopter with great force and precision.

The helicopter didn't even have time to evade the impact before it instantly disintegrated into a ball of burning scrap metal, spiraling downward.

Fortunately, after demonstrating its absolute strength as a "three-pronged amphibious force," this creature didn't seem particularly interested in moving further inland. It simply roared a menacing and warning roar at the remaining helicopters in the air, then slowly turned and, with heavy steps, returned to its deep blue territory, eventually disappearing into the turbulent waters north of Luzon, leaving no trace.

At the same time, in another sea area, the terrifying vortex that trapped the original seven or eight "Super Maruns" finally dissipated slowly with the departure of the giant beast.

In the turbid sea water, several "tin cans" with tattered clothes and flashing alarm lights floated up.

They were the advance team that was so arrogant for a while.

At that moment, their expensive "God's Chosen-1" armor, crafted from monster fibers, had long been torn to shreds by the terrifying water pressure and centrifugal force, completely destroyed, becoming a heavy and deadly burden. The soldiers inside were only breathing their last breaths, struggling to survive in the sea.

The work speedboat on the "Yuanwang-7" scientific research vessel quickly approached.

Several crew members in blue overalls used salvage hooks to pull the half-dead "Super Maruns" from the water, their movements swift and agile, like fishing for dead fish with their stomachs turned upside down. A security officer approached and placed the muzzle of his black automatic rifle squarely against the forehead of a "Super Marun" who had just had his helmet removed and was vomiting seawater.

The strength in their bodies has been consumed and offset by the vortex, and it will take at least two to three months to recover.

The sturdy man code-named "Bull", who had arrogantly bet that he would be the first to go onto the deck not long ago, now raised his head weakly, looked at the cold muzzle of the gun and the expressionless oriental face in front of him, and squeezed out a few words with difficulty.

"Don't... don't shoot... we really are... here... for a friendly visit..."

The global media was completely shocked.
