Temple of the Gods
“The underwater weapon spat its remaining nail rounds in a line along the Sharkdozer’s wounded port side. The cobalt-steel pressure hull was too strong for them to penetrate – though they still hit with enough force for their tips to punch into the metal, jutting like porcupine spines.
But the sub had a weaker point.
The last two rounds hit the viewing bubble. Even though it was thicker than the nails were long, they still tore into the transparent acrylic, stopping less than an inch from the in...ner surface. Gunshot snaps rang through the cabin as more cracks radiated outwards from the points of impact.
‘Shit!’ It was the greatest expression of pure fear Nina or Eddie had ever heard from Matt as he flinched back from the damaged port.
Eddie scrambled forward. ‘How bad is it?’ ‘It could go at any time!’ Even as they watched, one crack slowly lengthened with a rasping squeal.
The diver was changing his gun’s magazine. ‘One more hit’ll finish us,’ Eddie realised. They only had seconds before the diver reloaded, and no way to stop him— Except one.MoreLess
