The three of them and Coke were well fed and they did not resemble those other people who had been living in a submarine for a long time. 

Perhaps earlier, when they were switching to the escape pod or the yacht, or even when they took over Sawasdee Ka’s fishing boats, they had been targeted. 

They just hadn’t made a move yet because they wanted to be absolutely sure. 

Those people who played with biochemical weapons and nuclear wastewater were already savage monsters. If they discovered Jiang Ning’s secret, it would be surprising if they didn’t go to great lengths to capture her alive for dissection and research. 

If they succeeded, Jiang Ning would undoubtedly suffer a fate worse than death. 

However, neither of them knew where the monsters were, how many there were, or what weapons they had. Trying to eliminate them wouldn’t be easy. 

Huo Yishen had a bad feeling. After spotting the fishing boat and traveling twice, they had already sailed over 200 nautical miles, yet they were still within the monsters’ surveillance range. 

This wasn’t something ordinary people could do—it was likely the military. 

Jiang Ning was surprised. “Military?” 

The island nation was wiped out in an instant, and they survived even after a collision of plates. They truly were monsters. 

History’s bloodshed has taught the world that once you fall into the hands of these monsters, the outcome will be tragic beyond words. 

They were crazier than mad dogs. They were not like the Qinggang Base or the Leilong Base, they are not that easy to handle. 

While thinking of the best countermeasures, the submarine shook again. 

Had the monsters arrived so quickly? 

Doudou came running over with a warning. “Brother, Lan Lan is back.” 

This time it was not squatting or hitting but it was using its head to move the submarine. 

It swayed from side to side. 

Doudou frowned. “What is Lan Lan trying to do?” 

Jiang Ning thought, “Maybe it’s trying to remind us to run.” 

When unaware of the enemy’s strength, running was the right choice. 

Jiang Ning’s ultimate goal is to survive and not to fight to death with these monsters. 

Run! They powered up the engines. 

They ran for three hours when suddenly the dog barked at the observation window number three, “Woof!” 

 Jiang Ning rushed to the window and took a look using her binoculars. 

There was indeed a submarine following them. 

It was hard to tell if it was because they were too far away or if the underwater light was insufficient, but the other submarine didn’t seem very large—just a dark mass that was difficult to make out. 

She continued to observe, and she noticed two other dark masses forming a “川” (river) shape and it’s pursuing them relentlessly. 

Great, they were planning a three-on-one! 

“Sister-in-law.” Doudou shouted at the observation window number two, “It’s chasing us.” 

If there was one on the right, there was likely one on the left too. 

Great, they wanted her to fight five submarines at once. 

What should she fight with? 

She could only endure it and hope that the manufacturing was durable enough. 

Knowing that there are five submarines following closely, Huo Yishen’s expression turned serious. The military base has built a lot of submarines, and they are intended to counter ocean disasters and mutated creatures. Although they were designed with defensive weapons, they were never meant to be used against their own kind. 

Besides, the mutated creatures weren’t this eager to surround and attack the 2688, but these monsters were coming at full force. 

Huo Yishen pressed the emergency button and activated the submarine’s external anti-collision system on the submarine—hedgehog spike nails. 

Liu Cheng and the others had used the 1926’s spikes to puncture the Eagle’s submarine and scared Maple Leaf away. 

He hoped they would be effective. Although these monsters from that small country pursued craftsmanship in every industry, they weren’t immune to accidents. 

Instructor Xu had introduced the hedgehog spike nails before—they were hard defensive weapons made of rare alloys, and they were trustworthy. 

Just after the external defense was completed, the submarine suddenly shook violently. 

The shaking wasn’t too intense, as if something blunt object hit the tail of the submarine. It wasn’t a large impact but it felt like something sharp had struck them. 

Spears! 

These monsters were firing spears and they are striking the observation window of the 2688 submarine. 

Jiang Ning immediately came to check, and the observation window was intact. 

Fortunately, she had always anticipated the danger and closed the steel protective door on the outer layer of the glass in advance. 

The observation window is the weakest part of the submarine. It can be seen that these monsters are determined to penetrate the submarine and capture the three of them and the dog alive. 

Unfortunately, the country is smart enough. In order to withstand the attack of tsunamis and other disasters, the submarine was turned into a steel monster.  

If it could survive the shocking tsunami caused by the collision of plates; the spears from these monsters would be laughably weak in comparison. 

With the hedgehog spikes protecting both sides of the submarine, the head was relatively vulnerable. But the poor quality of the spears made Jiang Ning breathe a little easier… 

Just as she had that thought, 2688 was suddenly hit hard and was pushed out heavily on the seabed. 

Jiang Ning was thrown out and hit the wall heavily. 

For a moment, several items were sent flying. 

The dog was flung and hit the ground with a thud. 

Doudou was thrown as well, and her head took a heavy blow. 

Jiang Ning grabbed onto a safety cabinet and climbed up, “Doudou, take Coke back to the room and fasten your seatbelts.” 

Those bastards, they’ve really lost their minds! 

Do they really think she was a soft persimmon? 

She was going to kill them! 

Doudou had been hit by hail before and took a long time to recover from a concussion, and now she was hit again. 

Coke is the same. Although he is strong now, he is already a middle-aged dog. 

If anything happened to either of them, she’d chop those monsters into minced meat and feed them to the sharks. 

Just as Jiang Ning was cursing and felt that 2688 was shoved far away, she didn’t realize that the black submarine that had struck them had been bounced even farther away. 

Confident in their attack, the enemy had attacked them at full speed, only for the 2688’s external hedgehog spikes to puncture their submarine’s outer wall. 

For a moment, all the submarine personnel were thrown out, and alarms blared wildly. 

One person was flung 360 degrees into the air before crashing down and his brain burst on the spot. 

Everyone got up in a panic and rushed to the controls to stabilize themselves, but the button failed to work no matter how many times they pressed it. The joystick was lifted up and pressed down, but there was no response. 

“Damn it, you beasts!” 

Water was leaking in—sea water was pouring in continuously. 

“Damn it, how could this happen? This was supposed to be the Empire’s toughest weapon!” 

As the seawater kept flowing in, everyone froze in shock. This was supposed to be an imperial warship, an underwater fortress! 

“Damn it, damn it, damn it, you beasts!” 

Some of the quicker ones tried to contact the other submarines, but the communication devices had already been submerged in water. 

The seawater rushed in frantically and soon covered their knees. Two timid ones ran to the hatch door. 

No, they didn’t want to die! 

But the hatch was locked tight and couldn’t be opened from the inside. 

They were so anxious that they slapped it desperately, but their body was suddenly pierced by the sharp samurai sword, and blood gushed out. 

Not only him, but the one next to him was also stabbed to death. 

Cowards don’t deserve to live! 

Knowing that they had no chance of escaping, the monster holding a samurai sword raised the knife and stabbed himself in the abdomen and shouted, “For the Empire!” 

The remaining few couldn’t help but start singing. 

The song was gentle, like a mother’s call, and like cherry blossoms drifting across the sky. 

When the song ended, the seawater submerged their necks…
