[2. There is a small mine located 508.7 kilometers north-northeast, where a batch of intelligent mining equipment is stored in a warehouse.]

[3. At 310 degrees northwest, 343 nautical miles away, there is an oil drilling platform containing a large number of ordinary zombies. The underwater pipelines urgently need repair.]

[4. At coordinates 144.72541, -38.01537, a massive Level 5 Overlord has occupied this Level 3 Dangerous Sea and is preparing to separate a child. After the separation, both will be weakened. During the preparation period, the Overlord will not actively attack unknown objects at a distance. Countdown to child separation: 23 hours 57 minutes]

【appendix:,】

According to information displayed by the intelligence system, Lorraine has changed the location of the Level 5 Overlord's alert zone.

An hour later, the fleet arrived at the outer edge of the Tier 5 Overlord's warning zone and stopped on the sea 15 kilometers away from the Tier 5 Overlord. The demonstrator fixed on the aft deck of the flagship unlocked the wheel lock.

Five minutes later, the demonstrator aircraft, carrying six sonar buoys, took off from the deck and flew toward the Level 5 Overlord's warning zone.

"Thump"

The demonstrator dropped its first sonobuoy at a distance of 6.5 kilometers from the Level 5 Overlord, and then began to ascend vertically while maintaining a height of 50 meters.

((((Na)))))

According to the ground information detected by the sonar buoy, the overlord simply flapped its tail fin forcefully and did not make any other movements.

The verification aircraft descended again and dropped its second sonar buoy at a distance of 5.5 kilometers from the Level 5 Overlord.

((((Na))))

This time, we can see that the overlord has moved a short distance to the northeast.

However, Lorraine did not immediately issue the order to deploy the third sonar buoy.

Subsequently, Lorraine instructed the demonstrator to deploy four sonar buoys in the four directions of east, north, south, and west of the Overlord, requiring each sonar buoy to be placed 5 kilometers away from the Overlord.

With the deployment of four sonar buoys, the Overlord's silhouette became clearer, and the images processed by Cleveland showed the shadows of its offspring beneath it.

To avoid overstimulating the overlord, Lorraine switched the four sonar buoys to passive mode.

He then ordered the verification machine to deploy three more sonar buoys, specifying that these three sonar buoys be placed 6 kilometers away from the overlord.

After confirming that the overlord was in a state of low aggression, the verification machine remained at a height of 50 meters throughout the sonar buoy deployment mission, and deployed the three sonar buoys in a very short time.

Lorraine then grouped these three sonar buoys with the first deployed sonar buoy and set up a program to randomly activate the active sonar function.

Once the program is started, a sonar buoy will send out an active sonar signal every certain period of time.

Combined with sonar buoys operating in passive mode at close range, Lorraine is able to monitor the status of this dominant species almost 24 hours a day.

I glanced at the intelligence system; there were still 21 hours and 14 minutes left before the overlord separated its sub-body.

Subsequently, Luo Lin, Bai Jin, and Ouyang Nian began to take turns on duty, with each person spending three hours on duty in the driver's cab. The duty order was Bai Jin, Luo Lin, and Ouyang Nian.

In this way, Lorraine can organize the fleet to attack immediately and avoid the problem of insufficient energy due to long-term duty.

Nine hours later, during the shift change between Ouyang Nian and Bai Jin, an active sonar buoy located 6 kilometers northeast of the Overlord sent out a signal and subsequently detected the Overlord's sudden overturning motion.

Ouyang Nian, who had stepped out of the driver's seat, suddenly turned around and quickly rushed back to the front of the dashboard, his eyes fixed on the image displayed on the screen.

After 15 minutes of observation, Ouyang Nian and Bai Jin breathed a sigh of relief. Ouyang Nian then left the cockpit and returned to his own cabin, forcing himself to enter a resting state.

At this point, there are still 11 hours and 59 minutes until the overlord separates its offspring.

Ten and a half hours later, Lorraine arrived at the driver's seat half an hour early, carrying a cup of strong tea.

Lorraine stood beside Platinum, sipping his hot tea while flipping through the records from the previous five hours.

"The frequency of abnormal movements is decreasing, and the range of motion is getting smaller. It seems that the time is approaching."

There are 1 hour and 28 minutes left until the countdown ends.

Then Lorraine took out a supercharged energy bar, broke it in half, handed it to Platinum, and said...

"Have a bite, or you probably won't have time to rest later."

As he spoke, Lorraine tightened the lid of the cup and placed it in the enclosed cup holder under the dashboard.

After quietly finishing her energy bar, Platinum suddenly asked a question.

"Commander, what are the odds of victory?"

Lorraine swallowed the energy bar in her mouth, then shook her head.

"Unknown, because we don't have any more information right now. I don't know if this ocean behemoth has any so-called maternal instincts, let alone how powerful it can be."

"As long as its power on the spot does not exceed the value set in the simulation battle by too much, we can eliminate it."

"The worst-case scenario is that all the unmanned boats are sunk, and then our five warships return to base and use excessive firepower to destroy them."

"However, the resources consumed at that time would likely be an extremely large number."

Platinum's high ponytail swayed gently, picking up where Lorraine left off.

"At least we're still alive, aren't we? After all, there's an old saying: 'If you save the land but lose the people, you lose both; if you save the people but lose the land, you save both.'"

"Yes, but who wouldn't want to achieve the greatest victory with the least cost?"

Lorraine shrugged, turned her head and met Platinum's eyes, then the two of them laughed at the same time.

"As long as it hasn't strayed from the realm of carbon-based life, steel and gunpowder will always be effective against it."

"Not only that, previous carbon-based life forms also couldn't escape the wrath of steel and gunpowder."

"Well, after all, our weapons have always been designed with ourselves as the hypothetical enemy."

"Therefore, a larger charge will be used, and the importance of saturation attacks will be emphasized even more."

As the two were chatting casually, they heard a yawn behind them. Turning around, they saw Lin Shu and Ouyang Nian walking into the driver's seat together.

"My sister and I came to see if there's anything we can do to help."

Seeing Ouyang Nian's tired look, Luo Lin smiled and handed him a bottle full of strong tea.

"Be careful, it's hot."

"knew!"

Ouyang Nian gently blew on it twice, then slurped a mouthful along the edge.

Then Lorraine heard a "uh".

"How much tea did you put in here?!"

As Ouyang Nian spoke angrily, he looked at the bottom of the glass in the light from the driver's cab.
