After observing the situation on the island, Shen Feng quickly returned to his room. Wang Feiying had been waiting there for a long time. He had been paying close attention to the soldiers' discussions over the past few days and finally uncovered the truth: "Recently, Europe and North America have been planning to gather most of the sea beasts and kill them."
"So that's how it is. I was wondering why there were so many sea beasts gathering in the northern Atlantic. It turns out they were lured here by humans. But how did these people manage to gather the sea beasts?" Shen Feng then raised his question.
Wang Feiying said in a low voice, "I've heard them say that during this time, the army has been deploying a large number of devices into the sea. These devices can produce high-frequency ultrasonic waves, and many marine animals communicate using ultrasonic waves in the sea. So, by continuously releasing high-frequency ultrasonic waves, they can attract the surrounding sea beasts. Moreover, the fleets of various countries are also sailing in the Atlantic, attracting the attacks of the sea beasts. These people possess very powerful underwater weapons. Perhaps the sea beasts also feel that humans are very powerful, so they have gathered together to attack!"
"Using ultrasonic waves as a weapon? That's a good idea, but the animals in the sea are going to suffer." Shen Feng muttered to himself after hearing the explanation.
Humanity's pollution of the sea is diverse. Oil spills pollute the seawater, and dumping garbage into the ocean results in garbage that cannot be effectively degraded, still polluting the seawater and killing marine life. Among these, there is even more severe pollution: noise pollution.
Marine animals can actually speak, but humans generally cannot hear what they say. The fact that whales can sing in the sea is well-known to humans. However, a large number of marine animals communicate mostly using ultrasonic waves, which humans cannot hear.
But when humans began to use equipment like sonar to explore the ocean, noise pollution also appeared in the sea. Many marine animals died in areas with severe noise pollution. After discovering this situation, the sea beasts would surely retaliate against humans.
"But speaking of which, do these fleets have the ability to kill hundreds of sea beasts in one go?" Shun Feng began to doubt again, as he felt that no force in the world could easily kill hundreds of sea beasts.
Shen Feng actually did not know how many sea beasts had gathered in the Atlantic, but a rough estimate suggested hundreds. With so many sea beasts, even if all the espers in the world came here, they might not be able to achieve victory.
Therefore, Shen Feng strongly doubted whether these fleets could kill a large number of sea beasts. However, thinking of the missile launch silos he saw today, Shen Feng felt he understood something. Perhaps the reason this base was built with missile launch silos was to strike at critical moments.
"With the construction of missile launch silos, they can continuously bomb the sea beasts. Moreover, there are satellites in the sky to monitor the sea surface, so the attacks on the sea beasts will be very precise. However, it will definitely consume a large number of missiles afterward," Shen Feng analyzed to himself.
Shen Feng was gradually understanding why the military base here appeared on the sea. It was all to gather and kill the sea beasts. Therefore, the originally abandoned base was put back into use, and missiles were deployed here. These sea beasts at sea would be covered by missiles.
"Master, what should we do next? These Westerners seem to have some huge conspiracy. Should we continue to watch?" Wang Feiying quickly asked.
Shen Feng pondered for a moment and said, "I am not someone who likes to be passive. If I were to stay here and just watch, I would still not know anything important in the end. I have decided that tomorrow, we will set out to search the sea. I don't believe we won't find anything unusual."
Shen Feng had stumbled upon the war in the Atlantic by chance this time. He had never received any related news online, which indicated that the secrecy measures for this matter were very good. Ordinary people would not be able to hear the news. At this moment, Shen Feng also had the idea of taking advantage of the situation.
If it were normal sea beast hunting, at this time, as soon as the sea beasts saw him appear in the sky, they would immediately hide at the bottom of the sea. To kill the sea beasts by normal means would require underwater combat capabilities. Otherwise, countless sea beasts would stay underwater, and ordinary attacks would not be able to penetrate the seawater to cause effective damage.
Therefore, Shen Feng wanted to figure out what methods these Westerners had to inflict damage on the giant sea beasts in the sea.
The next day, Shen Feng found the commander of the military camp and prepared to bid farewell. "We have been out for a month. We have been out for such a long time, and it is time to go back. We will take our leave today, and there is no need for you to see us off."
After Shen Feng said this, the military personnel had nothing else to say. They symbolically gave Shen Feng some food and let him leave. It was evident that many people were relieved by Shen Feng's departure, as if they were happy about his leaving.
Shen Feng took Wang Feiying and directly boarded a glider, flying towards the eastern horizon, appearing to be on his way back to China via Europe.
However, at this moment, Wang Feiying couldn't help but look back down. A strong wind blew through the military camp, lifting a dark green tarp from the direction of the warehouse, revealing a very strange pattern. He couldn't remember if he had seen this icon somewhere before, so he could only ponder it in his mind.
"The thing under this tarp looks a bit strange. The icon is yellow and black, and it's triangular. I think I've seen this icon in books, but I remember it was something I learned in elementary school. I can't recall what it is now." Wang Feiying finally felt the regret of not studying harder, as he should have learned this content, but now he couldn't remember it.
"I remember that among the icons I learned, the one with a skull represented danger. This icon is just like an umbrella surface, so it should be insignificant, right?" Wang Feiying finally put aside these minor matters. It was just an icon, nothing to worry about. Anyway, he could fly in the sky, and ordinary weapons could not harm him.
Wang Feiying's learning ability was outstanding; otherwise, he wouldn't have become Shen Feng's student. However, he really couldn't recall what he had learned in his childhood at this moment, so he had to give up. But if his memory were a little better, he would definitely recognize that this icon represented radioactive material!
What is radioactive material? It is the raw material used to make nuclear bombs. Some of the raw materials can also be used to generate electricity in nuclear power plants. The icon appearing in the military camp naturally could not be used for power generation, so there was only one conclusion: the missiles here had nuclear warheads!
Shen Feng was unaware of this. He controlled the glider and flew continuously in the sky. Due to his abilities, his flight did not require fuel; he could continuously move in the sky by using the strong wind to support the glider. He took his disciple on a tour in the sky. It seemed they were moving away from the Atlantic, but in reality, they were flying towards the middle of the ocean.
"I want to see what tricks these people are playing and how they can kill so many sea beasts. Maybe I can even fish in troubled waters!" Shen Feng flew to the central Atlantic to find out how these people were doing it.
When Shen Feng and Wang Feiying arrived in the central Atlantic region, they found many fleets there. These fleets were equipped with radar and sonar. As soon as they flew from a distance, they were exposed. Then, people on these fleets were shouting loudly through loudspeakers: "This is a military exercise area. Please leave immediately, or we will shoot you down."
Although Shen Feng himself was not worried about missile attacks, as his speed could allow him to dodge missile attacks, he decided to temporarily evade for now, as these fleets were currently battling sea beasts.
This fleet was very large, with hundreds of ships. These ships were very advanced, with many of them being nuclear-powered, and aircraft carriers shuttling among them. A fleet of this scale could be considered the strongest fleet in the world.
"These guys are really willing to pay the price. They must have gathered the entire fleets of North America and Europe here?" Shen Feng muttered to himself upon seeing this scene.
However, just as Shen Feng and Wang Feiying were preparing to leave, they suddenly saw a very murky color on the water surface. They couldn't help but look closely, and upon seeing it, they were almost angered to the point of cursing. This was because they discovered a thick layer of liquid on the water surface, which shimmered with iridescent colors and was spreading outwards.
"No wonder I said these people have been keeping silent. They are at war with sea beasts but are not making a fuss. They are openly polluting the ocean! With so many harmful substances dumped into the seawater, who knows how many fish and shrimp will be poisoned!" Shen Feng said angrily upon seeing this.
"Master, these people are too despicable. They have been polluting the Earth for hundreds of years, yet they still haven't repented and continue to pollute the ocean!" Wang Feiying also said indignantly.
Originally, Shen Feng didn't know why these people were concealing the war with the sea beasts. But after seeing the soldiers on countless ships dumping colored wastewater, he realized their methods. They were polluting the ocean to kill the sea beasts. Once this was exposed, it would surely be condemned by countless people, so they knew this very well and did it without saying anything.
"Let's wander around the surrounding sea for a while and see how the sea beasts will respond!" Shen Feng said with a grim expression.
If the sea beasts could be effectively killed, then these Western countries would definitely publicize their achievements, as they would consider themselves to have saved the Earth. But these people never thought that if this mission failed, the polluted ocean would not recover, and the seawater might remain dirty for hundreds of years.
At this moment, Shen Feng felt like cheering for the sea beasts because the ones polluting the Earth were precisely these Westerners. If they could win this war, it would truly be an injustice.
On the side of the sea beasts, they were also very angry after discovering that the ocean was polluted. However, the sea beasts could not charge forward to attack at the moment. The human warships appeared densely on the sea, and it was not easy to break through the defense formed by the fleets.
At this moment, an incredibly huge whale appeared on the sea surface. This whale was much smaller than the mutated blue whale of the past, but it still looked very large. Shen Feng estimated its strength to be around that of an 8th-tier esper based on its size.
"Woooo..." The whale suddenly emerged from the water, its entire head raised high above the sea surface, revealing its eyes. At this moment, the whale also let out its unique cry. Shen Feng took the opportunity to observe the whale and found that it was an orca. Orcas particularly liked to raise their heads above the water to observe the situation on the sea surface.
"It seems this whale is the commander of the sea beasts present. Next, we will watch how the orca retaliates against humans!" Shen Feng said to Wang Feiying behind him.
