Chapter 150 - Trust second update

On The Crane Orchid, Su Mo stood on the deck, gazing at the distant waters as they began to slowly darken.

After a brief rescue operation, they continued forward.

At this moment, Lin Zinuo ran up to Su Mo with excitement and gave him a pat on the shoulder.

“Su Mo!”

“Hmm?

What’s got you so happy?”

Su Mo asked indifferently.

“Everything you told me before has come true, haha!”

“Oh.”

“This time, I really showed off in front of Sister Xue.

I’ll treat you to a meal later.

By the way, Sister Xue said that the submarine squadron that attacked us seemed like organized players.

And they’re not just any players, there could be danger.

What do you think?”

Lin Zinuo looked at Su Mo with expecting eyes.

Su Mo looked back at Lin Zinuo with a strange expression.

“That’s not something you should be worrying about, am I just a combat player?”

“Come on, at a time like this, don’t play coy, give some advice!

Look, it’s not easy for me to play a role in front-line combat for the first time.

I finally have a chance to show off in front of Sister Xue.”

“There’s nothing…”

“I despise you…”

“Really nothing…”

Su Mo felt helpless.

However, as the two talked, the light suddenly dimmed significantly.

Su Mo raised his head to look at the sky, a heavy dark cloud covering the sky, and the temperature dropping around them made him shiver uncontrollably.

“Where are we?”

“I’m not too sure, seems like it’s called something with Ink… ah~ I can’t remember, let me ask.”

Lin Zinuo picked up the radio communicator, turned on the switch, and was just about to speak when—

Buzz buzz~~

The whole radio communicator emitted a piercing noise.

Lin Zinuo was so startled that he involuntarily let go, covering his ears as the radio communicator fell to the ground.

“What the hell, how did it suddenly break.”

Su Mo revealed a faint smile, shaking his head resignedly.

“Su Mo, are you deliberately watching me make a fool of myself?”

Lin Zinuo glowered.

“There’s nothing…”

Su Mo responded in a good mood, only feeling too embarrassed to say, being uneducated is truly scary.

At that moment, Zhou Qian ran over breathlessly and said, “Sister Zinuo, Sister Zi Qing wants you to come back.”

“Definitely nothing good, I’ll go check the control room.

Do you want to come along?”

Lin Zinuo sighed helplessly and said to Su Mo.

“No, I’m just a combat player, why should I get involved in so much.”

Su Mo had no interest at all, as he had previously attacked Red Bay Base.

The reason he had exerted so much effort, participating fully in commanding and planning, was for survival.

Now there was no emergency, and The Crane Orchid’s capabilities spoke for themselves.

The ones previously flipped over and fed to the fish were the best lesson.

“You’re so boring, interested in nothing.

I won’t bother you anymore, I’ll take a trip there.”

Lin Zinuo muttered a few complaints about Su Mo, then ran toward the control room.

Su Mo continued to lean against the railing, idly enjoying the sea breeze.

Not far away, Zhang Ru and other players who had been rescued crouched in a corner.

Since The Crane Orchid was an advanced ship, for safety and secrecy reasons, they were all forbidden to run around.

Han Na was on guard, and if they broke the rules, they would be considered a threat and thrown off the ship.

It’s also worth mentioning that the remaining four ships were The Soaring (First Legion’s flagship), Iron Stone (First Legion), Blue Cloud (Seventh Legion), and Sea Corner (Second Legion).

In the control room of The Crane Orchid, Lin Zinuo walked in briskly and saw the grave expressions on everyone’s faces.

“What happened?”

Zi Qing replied in a heavy tone, “Not long after we entered the Ink Sea, the electronic devices on The Crane Orchid started to fluctuate a bit.

Have you encountered this situation before?”

“Are the functions still normal?”

“There’s no problem with that, all functions are still usable.”

“Oh, I thought something was wrong.

It should be due to environmental influences.

We experienced the same thing when we were in the mist.

At first, when we got that old ship, the electronic devices completely stopped working, but The Crane Orchid’s equipment just fluctuated a little.”

Lin Zinuo let out a sigh of relief, thinking there had been some kind of serious issue.

“I see, you mean to say we’re now in a sea area with strong magnetic interference.”

Zi Qing immediately caught on.

Normally, strong magnetic interference would cause severe problems with electronic devices.

The Crane Orchid was only showing mild signs, so she didn’t think about it at first.

“That should be the case.”

Lin Zinuo confirmed after a moment of thought.

Standing aside, Qian Chengxue spoke indifferently after understanding the cause of the anomaly, “Even though we’ve found the reason, we still need to be careful.”

“Understood!”

Everyone responded in unison.

“Alright, everyone has worked hard.

We will now start the watch duty rotation, starting with Lin Zinuo in charge of piloting the ship.”

Qian Chengxue handed over the duty to Lin Zinuo without hesitation.

In these extraordinary times, extraordinary people are needed, and she felt that Lin Zinuo had a very good instinct for danger.

Moreover, Lin Zinuo’s words reminded her that since she had experience piloting The Crane Orchid through interference zones, there was no one more suitable than her for this stretch of the journey.

Lin Zinuo was dumbfounded, thinking what the heck?

Wasn’t this like shooting herself in the foot?

“Zinuo, is there a problem?”

Seeing Lin Zinuo silent, Qian Chengxue asked again.

“No, no problem.”

Lin Zinuo felt like crying, but she could only force a slight smile in response.

“How about I stay on duty with Zinuo?”

Zi Qing said, somewhat worried.

“Sister Zi Qing.”

Lin Zinuo looked gratefully at Zi Qing.

The idea of commanding the ship alone made her feel a bit insecure, and it could be problematic if something went wrong.

“No need, I trust Zinuo.”

Qian Chengxue’s tone was firm, and it was evident that she was very satisfied with Zinuo’s recent performance!

She even thought that she had underestimated Lin Zinuo before.

Lin Zinuo froze in place, unsure whether to feel happy or cry.

“Alright then.”

Zi Qing couldn’t insist further, as it might seem like she didn’t trust Lin Zinuo.

After that, Zi Qing and the others followed Qian Chengxue out of the control room.

As they walked on the deck, Qian Chengxue suddenly heard bursts of clear laughter.

Qian Chengxue walked over and saw that the rescuees who had been kept under close watch were now merrily joking around with their female guards.

The men from the Blazing Flame Guild were putting on their best show of bravado in front of the women, boasting about how capable they were…

“Ladies, let me tell you, whether it’s a sea battle or a land battle, we’re the real deal.

Even with a knife wound, we wouldn’t make a peep,”

“With that much blubber on you?

Haha….”

“Exactly.

You guys got beaten like drowned rats and you still brag about being strong.”

“A defeat is a defeat, couldn’t help it when the weapons were subpar.

Besides, that bunch of old sneaks and scum, they fight so dirty!”
