Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon! Chapter 220

Chapter 220: Chapter 136: Miserable (Third Update)

On the deck, Nadaya stood frozen like a petrified fowl.

The high-speed transport ship that had just exploded and sunk was not far from him; he saw everything that happened on board.

The soldiers that were thrown and torn apart, the broken hull, the propeller sticking out of the water at the stern, and the soldiers dropping into the ocean one after another, crying for help, all deeply impacted his fragile heart.

“Nadaya, come and put on a life jacket,”

Blais pulled at the still dazed Nadaya. Because of underestimating the enemy and complacency, the originally thought-to-be-safe landing had turned perilous. The US soldiers had made plans to go ashore to entertain themselves in the Chan Country and had not bothered to wear the cumbersome life jackets.

The entire transport fleet was in disarray. Some soldiers were fighting over life jackets, some were lowering lifeboats, and some new recruits with poor psychological quality were breaking down and falling into chaos, running around like headless flies.

Splash! Splash!

The two Aegis Destroyers and two Coastal Combat Ships escorting the transport fleet also detected the positions of the underwater mines through sonar.

Several warships sounded their combat alarms and began launching deep bombs wildly into the sea from their sterns, attempting to detonate the mines in advance.

They also deployed acoustic decoys, trying to make the mines mistake their targets and explode prematurely.

The deep bombs were indeed effective; many mines were destroyed, and the pale corpse hands propelling the mines shattered, dissolving into Spiritual Power that dissipated into the air.

But though the United States' defenses were tight, there were even more mines.

“I want to see how much you can defend.”

From a distant hilltop, Su Jie sat with his legs crossed on a large tree branch, looking at the fleet in utter chaos below, a cold smile on his lips.

Compared to the expensive cost of warships, which can reach over a hundred million US dollars each, mines lack the bright trajectory and sleek appearance. But due to their low cost and simple manufacturing, Su Jie had purchased a large batch. He even acquired the production methods from the Maozi, and the Mande Region's military factories had replicated a batch. After all, they weren't too high-tech; they were just simple contact mines.

Even if they were traded for the warships, Su Jie would turn a profit if a hundred mines took down one transport ship, not to mention the additional casualties of personnel.

His eyes narrowed, Su Jie looked toward the direction of the sea, where his waterborne poisonous insects were deployed to serve as eyes for scouting. Su Jie only needed to command the pale corpse hands pushing the mines toward their targets as if he were playing a game.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sea surface seemed to boil as the mines were detonated one after the other. The destroyers and escort ships fired rockets with deep bombs, creating rows of water columns.

Above the sky, anti-submarine helicopters also dropped deep bombs, desperately trying to stop the mines from approaching the transport ships.

But even under such intense blockade, some mines managed to get close to the transport ship and then exploded upon contact, overturning people and vessels alike.

One by one, high-value military high-speed transport ships were torn apart by mine explosions. The crew located in the lower cabins were crushed against steel walls by the impact, turning into bloody mush.

The soldiers who ran to the upper decks also could not escape their fate; some were crushed by heavy objects on the ship, burnt to death by the fiery cabins, and those who were lucky enough to survive ended up struggling in the sea water.

A fierce naval battle thus erupted. On one side were the US expeditionary fleet, defending themselves on the sea surface like hedgehogs, and on the other side, seemingly insignificant biological energy mines hidden in the water.

They attacked each other relentlessly, and under Su Jie's ruthless onslaught, another seven or eight transport ships slowly sank amid the explosions.

Those transport ships had really bad luck, encountering someone as ruthless as Su Jie.

Using mines holding seven or eight hundred kilograms of explosives to blow up transport ships, no transport ship could withstand such a powerful firecracker!

Transport ships broke in half on the spot, with their bows and sterns tilting high up.

Some transport ships had their entire bows blown away, plunging straight into the sea like a stick, dragging the soldiers who didn't have time to jump into the sea with them, sinking to the seabed to keep the fish company.

Some transport ships were directly blown to capsize, like fish with their white bellies up, showing off barnacle-, limpet-, and algae-covered bottoms; many soldiers were pressed under the overturned ships, their pounding and cries echoing in the cabins as they were dragged to the bottom of the sea.

An ammunition transport ship was hit by a water mine and exploded into a small mushroom cloud on the spot, with various debris scattered hundreds of meters.

Boom!

A fleet oil tanker was hit, spilling a massive amount of fuel oil.

Due to the difference in density between the fuel oil and water, the leaked fuel-various types of aviation fuel, gasoline, diesel, and heavy oil used for ships-floated on the surface of the sea.

Blais and Nadaya's transport ship was also hit by a water mine, but the two were lucky enough to jump into the sea and escape.

Fortunately, this wasn't the cold Atlantic; they were in the water with life jackets, not drowning anytime soon, and were now searching for debris that could provide buoyancy.

But at that moment, the leaked fuel from the oil tanker reached them.

Blais raised his head and saw the various burning debris blasted into the sky by the ammunition ship's explosion falling down, his eyes uncontrollably showing a thick fear.

“Escape, fast!”

Without any hesitation, Blais paddled with all his might, and they just managed to swim out of the range of the oil spill.

The burning debris from the sky ignited the leaked fuel, creating moving patches of fiery oil slicks on the surface of the sea.

One by one, soldiers who had jumped into the sea screamed as the fires on the surface engulfed and scorched them.

Near the oil tanker, apart from a few soldiers at the edges who managed to escape, the rest were either burned alive or suffocated beneath the water.

Su Jie was happily blowing things up on his end, with the supply of water mines in his Storage Bag steadily depleting.

After twenty minutes of action and seeing the dwindling supply of water mines, Su Jie's gaze shifted toward a few destroyers and frigates that were still launching deep bombs.

The Aegis Destroyer was a bit too far away, and Chan Country's tattered little frigates weren't worth the effort; finally, Su Jie targeted a Coastal Combat Ship, sending all the remaining water mines hurtling towards it.

The 3,000-ton Coastal Combat Ship, running at a high speed of 45 knots, still couldn't escape the pursuit of the water mines.

In the end, three water mines approached and exploded thunderously, dismembering the Coastal Combat Ship on the spot; the crew members plunged into the sea like dumplings, moving away from the doomed vessel.

Having done all this, Su Jie casually put away the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, glanced at the disturbed Chan Country Navy dock in the distance, coming to provide support, and then turned away to leave.

When the Chan Country Navy arrived late on the scene, they were met with a hair-raising sight.

The burning sea, sunken ships, soldiers struggling and calling for help in the water, and the dense floating corpses on the surface, with the waves slowly pushing the bodies towards the beach, forming a small mountain of the dead.

As time went on, more and more support arrived, and military bases from the United States sent out rescue forces as soon as possible.

But with the distance being too great, by the time they arrived, those who were going to die had already perished, and those who were alive had been rescued.

And this sea battle, as the information spread from all parties, set off an uproar on the internet.
