The operation to encircle and eliminate the sea monster began early the next morning.
After a night of rest, the fleet started preparing for battle before the sun even rose. Amidst the bustle, the soldiers, now fully aware of the formidable foe they were up against, couldn't help but feel nervous and uneasy.
This wasn't like fighting militants in the Middle East who used radar like floodlights and fired automatic rifles randomly; they were facing a colossal marine monster, larger than the warships beneath their feet.
Thanks to Hollywood's disaster and monster movies, the soldiers were acutely aware that, in the face of a creature of this size, warships were no more than tin cans filled with snacks—snacks the monster could devour simply by twisting open the lid. And those "snacks" were the soldiers themselves.
