It was probably because this time period was not the ice period of this lake area, or because the variable temperature here made the surface of this lake area not freeze too tightly in the first place.
After a series of incendiary bombs smashed down, the sound of ice cracking inch by inch immediately came to mind on the surface of that lake.
"It cracked! Cracked!" CF05, who had been staring at the ice surface, also shouted out in delight at the sight.
NZ75 beside her squinted her eyes and carefully scanned the crumbling ice, trying to find traces of the crashed freighter in it.
"Quickly look over there! There's debris there!"
Even with the dim light, NZ75 still saw those aviation materials that floated up after the ice had crumbled.
Hearing NZ75 shouting, the group of dolls instantly discovered those airplane fragments floating up from underneath the ice, and with surprise in their hearts, they subconsciously moved towards the edge of the lake.
Fortunately, now that the temperature is relatively low, the ground near the lake has all been frozen hard, or else, by virtue of their current weight of more than a ton, one will have to sink into the mud.
However, a few dolls arrived at the lake, but they were also not stupid and did not stupidly continue to go forward.
They were wearing power armor, but this power armor... is not waterproof, right?
And such a large weight, once in the water, wanting to come out again can be difficult, even if they are not wearing power armor. AR15 is the same situation.
"Commander, what now?"
Each of them had no way to get into the water, and now only Renault has the ability to get into the water to take a look.
However, this lake area has obviously been heavily polluted, and the water in the lake is all covered in a pitch-black color, so they don't know if Renault will completely turn into an infected creature when he comes back up if he really jumps down.
Hearing AR15's words, Renault also frowned with a headache.
Although the coordinates given by Gerald were indeed near this lake area, he really didn't expect that the cargo plane would actually crash directly into the lake.
Maybe the pilot of the cargo plane was ready to crash land in the lake when he saw that the plane had no hope of pulling up.
But this doesn't make sense; they have seen the traces of the plane dragging on the ground, coupled with the aircraft wanting to force landing in the water, it is not generally difficult. As long as it is a normal driver, there is no reason to do this kind of hard work, which is not a good thing.
Moreover, in the place they just passed through, there was a very flat ground, there were no siliconized trees, and there were no bumps or anything like that on the ground; it was definitely a good place for a forced landing.
But this cargo plane is now under the lake.
This mission changed from contaminated area item recovery into the contaminated waters deep salvaging operations...
It was really quite different.
But what else could he say? He'd already said he can finish this all, so he couldn't just go home now?
Thinking about it: it is possible. Although the doll cannot go into the water, only he himself can.
Sure enough, the current T-Doll he made still has big limitations.
Although the super-heavy doll frame in battle can be quite good at getting the upper hand...
Unfortunately, in this kind of special task...
They are all not very suitable; now he had to back to think about using other materials to replace those original alloy steel.
Next time, he cannot use metallic scraps like these thing to create a doll frame. This thing which is used as an armor plate is indeed a good defensive tool for a doll body, but unfortunately, the weight is too much.
Thinking of this, Renault raised his hand somewhat helplessly, intending to take off this set of protective clothing on his body and personally go into the water to see the situation.
However, just as he raised his hand, a wave of vibrations suddenly came from underneath everyone's feet!
"Earthquake?"
"It seems to be...?"
"Guys, look at the lake!?"
The piece of incendiary bomb that Nagant Revolver had just shot out, although it did indeed make a piece of the lake's ice break apart, was only a small portion of it; the area of the main piece of the lake wasn't small, and there was still a large area of ice that hadn't been thawed out in the distance.
However, with this sudden vibration, the surface of the lake in the distance even directly began to undulate!
The wide surface of ice is directly shattered at this moment due to the vibration!
Large chunks of solid ice were even bounced a few meters into the air due to the impact!
First, the ice shattered! Immediately after that, a huge whirlpool appeared in the center of the lake!
It was as if something was violently stirring the lake below the surface!
"Hey, hey, hey! There's not really a water monster in this lake, is there?"
Looking at the condition of the lake below from the cockpit, Simonov couldn't help but exclaim, and at the same time, in order to avoid being hurt by the contraption emerging from the lake, Simonov was also very sensible in controlling the gunship to stay away from the lake's airspace.
"I can't be sure about the water monster, but an ELID mutant, that's for sure, ah! That thing is coming out!?" AK47 looked at the water that had just suddenly sunk but was now rising violently and hurriedly shouted at the top of her voice.
"Retreat to higher ground!"
The group of T-Dolls heard Renault's words quickly raised their feet and retreated backward.
Good thing the power armor's power was sufficient; returning to that high slope just now was just a matter of two or three leaps.
It is also good that there is a high slope on this side to block the water waves that come like a tsunami; otherwise, even if the humans have more than one ton of power armor on board, after colliding with the huge waves, they will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being washed away.
"Roar--! Ga--!"
Boom!
Accompanied by an ear-piercing shrill cry, a huge figure directly broke through the water, revealing itself in front of Renault and the others!
"Water monster, ah--!"
At the instant of seeing this huge figure, Simonov and AK47 were screaming out, and the several dolls next to them were also startled by the huge unknown creature in front of them!
A huge body of more than thirty meters tall!
At first glance, it didn't even look much smaller than Renault's ship!
Most importantly, the body of this thing, which is covered with various kinds of crystals is enough to make people feel their stomach bags flip.
Simply outrageous! It was frighteningly ugly!
Coupled with those tentacles that were waving around, this thing really did have the appearance of a water monster! All of the appearances were completely in line with people's mental expectations of a water monster!
"Commander, has the mission target we're looking for been eaten by this thing?" AR15 squinted her eyes at the huge body of the unknown creature.
On the other party's body, not only was the light of the siliconized shell glittering, but she could also see the reflection of quite a few metallic substances, so if her deduction was correct, this positively unidentified mutant seemed to have some sort of instinct to devour metallic objects.
"Better not..."
Renault is also face black as ink; he indeed did not expect this situation, as if the unexpected events are all gathered at the same time to find the door.
"But I see that thing's body had an airplane engine wreckage attached to it."
