Su Mo was momentarily startled, it was that aloof beauty he had seen in the elevator that day.
Then he shook his head, knowing his own place.
Although his combat skills were decent, he wasn’t so essential that the world couldn’t go on without him.
Qian Chengxue’s cool face revealed a trace of complexity as she spoke, “That’s because I too, once harbored hope that things of the past could be revisited.”
“Uh?”
Su Mo looked at Qian Chengxue with some surprise.
However, Qian Chengxue did not seem intent on elaborating, but merely gazed quietly at the distant sea.
After a long while, Qian Chengxue walked towards the control room.
Su Mo watched her departing figure, feeling an inexplicable stirring within.
In the control room, Zi Qing and Chen Xijie were engaged in a heated discussion.
The situation at hand didn’t allow for any lightheartedness.
“I’ve fully extended the radar’s range, and as you can see, there’s no sign of them.
Are you sure the information is correct?”
“How could there be a mistake, it was Sister Sun Li who personally gave it to me.”
Lin Zinuo sat to one side, yawning out of sheer boredom.
Just then, Qian Chengxue walked in, prompting Lin Zinuo to quickly stand up.
“Sister Xue!”
Qian Chengxue nodded slightly, acknowledging Zinuo’s greeting.
She asked Zi Qing, “What happened?”
“It’s like this, we received new intelligence that the fleet from Zhang Family (Blazing Flame Guild) also moved to support.
According to the latest intelligence, they should be in this sea area, but our radar can’t detect any trace of them,” Zi Qing explained to Qian Chengxue.
“Could it be that they are too far away?” Qian Chengxue pondered and asked.
“The Crane Orchid is equipped with a radar that covers a vast range, and their fleet is biased towards the heavy type.
Plus, they are powered by the most common diesel engines, which are slow.
Normally, we should have already caught up to them,” Zi Qing said seriously.
“So, what’s your take on this?”
Qian Chengxue did not underestimate the issue, turning to ask Zi Qing for her opinion.
“There are two possibilities, either they deviated from their course, or they have been sunk,” Zi Qing said gravely.
“Impossible!
Leading the guild’s fleet this time is Zhang Ru, whose command talent and capability are very strong.
It wouldn’t be so easy to defeat him, let alone annihilate his entire force,” Chen Xijie said with certainty.
Zhang Ru and Chen Xijie were both from the same naval academy.
Zhang Ru had always been a prominent figure at the school, brimming with talent!
He has always been the target and idol that Chen Xijie strived to emulate.
Additionally, here’s a primer on the Five Dragon Heads of Z country:
Black Dragon Head: Lin Family
Visible industry conglomerate: Martial God Group (mainly involved in heavy industry and military industry)
Star Ring Guild: Martial God Guild, with 24 subsidiary guilds.
Composite strength: First.
Purple Dragon Head: Xiao Family
Visible industry conglomerate: Senye Group (mainly involved in pharmaceuticals)
Star Ring Guild: Senye Guild
Composite strength: Second
Red Dragon Head: Zhang Family
Visible industry conglomerate: Blazing Flame Group (mainly involved in the construction industry)
Star Ring Guild: Blazing Flame Guild
Composite strength: Third
White Dragon Head: Ye Family
Visible industry conglomerate: Dawn Group (mainly involved in light industry and cultural industries)
Star Ring Guild: Dawn Guild
Overall Strength: Fourth
Green Dragon Head: Wang Family
Overt Industry Conglomerate: Tianheng Group (mainly involved in OEM factory processing industry)
Star Ring Guild: Tianheng Guild
Overall Strength: Fifth
After hearing what both had to say, Qian Chengxue also felt something was amiss, so she spoke to Chen Xijie.
“Ask Sun Li to have someone log off and investigate, see where their fleet is now, what the situation is.”
“Alright!”
Chen Xijie nodded in agreement.
Although they were all going to provide support, everyone wanted to earn merit, so basically, they wouldn’t cooperate.
After instructing Chen Xijie, Qian Chengxue turned her head to Zi Qing and said, “Zi Qing, remember my words, we need to be as careful as possible, no amount of caution is too much.
The support fleets of the Sky Dragon Guild have been wiped out several times, it’s impossible to be accidental, danger is definitely present.”
Qian Chengxue never overestimated her own luck, nor underestimated any potential enemies.
“I understand.”
Zi Qing also felt an inexplicable pressure.
Standing to one side, Lin Zinuo felt a bit out of her element, wanting to say something several times, but not knowing what to say.
After all, when it came to naval battles, she was indeed a novice – before this, when The Crane Orchid was under her command, she was mostly operating it blindly.
Of course, Qian Chengxue didn’t see it that way; she valued Lin Zinuo highly.
She believed that Lin Zinuo’s ability to lead over a dozen novices and bring the ship back, and also having executed two beautiful support operations, certainly indicated remarkable talent.
That’s why she had been appointed as Deputy Captain.
The atmosphere in the control room became even more solemn, almost suffocating.
Hence, Lin Zinuo stepped out of the control room for some fresh air and sighed in relief once outside.
At that moment, she saw Su Mo leaning against the railing by himself, leisurely enjoying the sea breeze, relaxed and content.
“You really know how to enjoy the easy moments, coming here to take in the sea breeze.”
Lin Zinuo walked up beside Su Mo, leaned against the railing, and embraced the comfortable sea breeze.
“There’s nothing I need to do.”
Su Mo said offhandedly.
“No need to explain; I know, I’m just teasing.
Sigh!
I envy you, you only need to fight, not worry about anything else.”
Lin Zinuo remarked with a sigh.
“Run into some trouble?”
After a brief silence, Su Mo asked.
“Nothing much, Zi Qing and the others are looking for the Blazing Flame Guild’s fleet.
Now they can’t find their traces, and it’s said that they should be in this sea area.
Sister Xue thinks something is abnormal and believes there might be some danger, so she’s asking us to be vigilant.”
Lin Zinuo briefly updated Su Mo.
“Is the intelligence accurate?”
Su Mo asked.
“Pretty reliable, I’d say.
You also know our guild has many girls, and we have a lot of admirers; generally, our information is quite dependable.
Besides, we’re not really enemies with the Blazing Flame Guild; in some sense, you could say we are half-allies.”
“There’s a problem.”
Su Mo replied decisively.
“Ah, you think there’s a problem too?
What’s the issue?”
Lin Zinuo’s eyes showed hopeful anticipation, thinking if Su Mo provided some insightful analysis, she could borrow it when Qian Chengxue asked later.
“Intuition.”
Su Mo uttered two words.
Lin Zinuo immediately rolled her eyes.
That was practically saying nothing, making her hopes surge in vain.
“I really must be out of my mind, asking you about this.
Sigh, well, I better get back to the control room.
Might as well sit there staring; lest Sister Xue finds out I snuck off.”
“It would be best to enter a state of readiness for combat.”
Su Mo didn’t offer any justification but just threw out that remark out of the blue.
