An hour after deviating from their original course, Gua Five noticed that there were ships chasing them from behind.<\/span><\/p>

There were seven or eight of them, all small to medium-sized ships with low firepower but high speed.<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin glanced at his progress bar, which had already risen to 900, and ordered, “Increase our speed to widen our distance, and fire a few shots at them when the time’s right.”<\/span><\/p>

“Understood.” Gua Five acknowledged the order and directed the operator to open the rear gun ports, aiming straight at the pursuing ships.<\/span><\/p>

Boom\u2014!<\/span><\/em><\/p>

As soon as the cannons were aimed, the closest enemy ship fired a shot at them.<\/span><\/p>

“They opened fire on us directly!” The captain said, raising his voice.<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin’s expression remained calm as he said, “Return fire and increase our distance. Do not enter their firing range!”<\/span><\/p>

Gua Five moved swiftly, and after a few muffled explosions, the pursuing ships were blocked and slowed down.<\/span><\/p>

The two sides gradually increased the distance between them. Annihilation’s ship quickly moved out of the enemy’s firing range and was soon to be out of the opponent\u2019s radar detection.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cDon’t go too fast; keep them on our tail and let them chase us,\u201d Shi Jin instructed. He then took out his phone and called Gua One, asking, \u201cHow\u2019s the situation on your side?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Gua One’s voice remained steady as usual as he replied, \u201cEverything has been arranged.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin felt relieved. After putting his phone down, he loosened the collar of his shirt and said, \u201cLet\u2019s maintain this pace and lead these ships to the location we\u2019ve planned.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

“Yes!” Gua Five responded.<\/span><\/p>

Gua Two poured him a cup of hot water and asked, \u201cAren’t you afraid of using yourself as bait to set a trap for them? That last group was likely just the vanguard; their firepower isn\u2019t too strong. If the main forces arrive, we\u2019ll find ourselves in a tough spot.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin thanked him, took a sip of water to calm his thoughts, and glanced at the radar with its constantly flashing alarms. He replied, \u201cOf course I\u2019m scared, but I trust you all, and I believe that the ship Lian Jun provided for me is definitely the best. It can hold out until we reunite with Gua One.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cBut Gua One has run too far ahead,\u201d Gua Two said, frowning as he looked at the map and estimated the distance. \u201cAt our current speed, we won\u2019t reach that location until tomorrow morning at the earliest, and that\u2019s without accounting for any time we’ve spent engaging with the enemy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThere\u2019s no other choice. That\u2019s the only place where I can get what I need,\u201d Shi Jin replied. He glanced at the satellite phone on the table and hesitated for a moment, but he ultimately decided against calling Lian Jun.<\/span><\/p>

Gua Two noticed his hesitation and asked, \u201cWon\u2019t you get in touch with Jun-shao?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin raised his hand to press against his forehead and shook his head in reply, “No, he\u2019ll worry… I\u2019ll contact him once everything settles down.”<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Yuan Peng received a message from his subordinate and spoke into the communication device that was set to a four-way call: “We’ve already locked onto Shi Jin’s location. He’s moving towards the nearest archipelago, probably preparing to leave the open sea and head for a more populated area. The firepower of the vanguard team isn’t enough\u2014Annihilation\u2019s ship has been modified, and they simply can’t trap him with just their forces.”<\/span><\/p>

“What about the follow-up troops?” Meng Qing asked.<\/span><\/p>

“They’re on their way there, but catching up is proving to be a bit difficult\u2014Shi Jin’s ship is too fast,” Yuan Peng replied.<\/span><\/p>

Qi Yun said, “I’ll have my people block him ahead of his route.”<\/span><\/p>

“I’ll send a squadron of helicopters over,” Meng Qing added.<\/span><\/p>

Lu Shan spoke last, saying, “My people are also gathering there. They should be able to join Yuan Peng’s team in about two hours. Do you need any weapons resupply?”<\/span><\/p>

“That would be a big help,” Yuan Peng responded. Due to everyone’s cooperation, he felt a surge of power in his heart as if he had seized a great authority. He said with satisfaction, “Alright, now it’s time to trap those scurrying rats in a cage.”<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Boom boom boom\u2014!<\/span><\/em><\/p>

The sea churned violently, and the ship rocked. Shi Jin braced himself against the table to steady his body while furrowing his brow as he asked, “How many reinforcements have arrived?”<\/span><\/p>

“At least a dozen ships. The enemy numbers are higher than what Lu Shan reported to us!” Gua Five answered. Noticing the radar beginning to flash more frequently, he glanced in that direction, his expression suddenly changing. “How could there be an aircraft approaching? It looks like it’s already very close… They have anti-surveillance equipment!”<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin glanced at his progress bar, which had surged to 980, and clenched his fists. He issued a command, “Use firepower to block them. Don’t let them surround us. Protect the main body of the ship and avoid getting entangled with them! The dozen or so ships coming after us clearly belong to different factions\u2014they aren’t cooperating at all and are even interfering with each other. We have a chance!”<\/span><\/p>

Gua Five: “Understood!”<\/span><\/p>

Boom boom boom!<\/span><\/em><\/p>

Another round of intense artillery fire erupted, but trying to shake off the pursuers was no easy task. There were simply too many enemy ships.<\/span><\/p>

“Enemy forces are approaching from the front as well, about seven or eight ships! At our current speed, we’ll be within their firing range in two minutes.” Gua Two suddenly spoke, his expression grim.<\/span><\/p>

Gua Five immediately followed up, “The enemy ships behind us have started to divide into squads. They’re preparing to encircle us.”<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin quickly glanced at the radar, his expression darkening. He then checked his progress bar, which had reached 990, and gritted his teeth as he said, “If this continues, we’ll be trapped in their circle. We absolutely can’t let that happen! Full power to veer hard right, and concentrate fire on the ships in the lower right. Don’t let them close in. Also, keep an eye on the sky and do everything you can to break through!”<\/span><\/p>

Gua Two and Gua Five didn\u2019t even have time to respond; both too focused and busy with their tasks as they worked in tense and rapid movements.<\/span><\/p>

Boom\u2014\u2014!<\/span><\/em><\/p>

The main body of the ship was struck by a shell, causing it to shake violently. The hull damage alarm blared. The unbearably sharp and deafening sound filled the air.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWhat\u2019s damaged?\u201d Shi Jin asked.<\/span><\/p>

Cold sweat beaded on the captain\u2019s brow as he replied, \u201cOnly the second deck cabins are damaged. The main power systems are intact \u2014 it won\u2019t hinder our ability to fire or retreat!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cGood.\u201d Shi Jin let out a small sigh of relief, his gaze flicking to the progress bar that had already climbed to 995. Drawing in a deep breath, he called out silently in his heart, <\/span>\u201cXiao Si!\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>

<I know, I-I\u2019m on it!> Xiao Si stammered in panic. The moment Shi Jin spoke, Xiao Si hurried to stack every kind of buff on him, all the while scanning for the best point to break through.<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin suddenly felt his vision become clear, his focus sharpening to an almost unnatural degree. He quickly strode over to the operator stationed at the main gun controls and asked, \u201cThis is the main cannon, isn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cUh\u2014y-yes, that\u2019s right, Shi-shao, you\u2014\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin reached out and pressed his hand firmly onto the control panel. \u201cLet me borrow this for a bit,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>

The operator looked in confusion. \u201cShi-shao\u2026?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Suddenly, Xiao Si shrieked, <Direction E125! That\u2019s where the enemy\u2019s defenses are the weakest. Jinjin, look at the skies! Be careful\u2014 ahhhh! The progress bar\u2019s up to 998!><\/span><\/p>

\u201cPrepare to break out towards E125! All guns, except the main cannon, aim at the skies! Move!\u201d Shi Jin\u2019s face was tense as he gave orders while his fingers flew across the controls, aligning the main cannon at E125. Once the other operators had aimed all the guns skyward, he quickly read off several coordinates, his voice deep and commanding. \u201cAlign each cannon to the coordinates I call out. Follow my cue. Countdown three seconds\u2014three, two, one\u2026 fire!\u201d At the same time, he pressed the main cannon\u2019s firing button.<\/span><\/p>

Boom boom boom\u2014\u2014!<\/span><\/em><\/p>

Explosions roared overhead as the ship shook violently, the alarms blaring frantically.<\/span><\/p>

It was only then that Gua Two realized the flying iron units above had somehow already prepared for an armed assault. Frowning, he said, \u201cThis is definitely a team sent by Meng Qing. Only his aerial squads can make their stealth this perfect!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cForget about them for now. Speed up and break through! Pull the cannons back to the sides and prepare for a second round of attacks! Don\u2019t give them a chance to regroup and strike us again!\u201d Shi Jin barked the orders quickly.<\/span><\/p>

The captain forced himself not to look at the damage alerts across each section of the ship, frowning as he followed the orders. Then, eyes widening in alarm, he shouted, \u201cSomething\u2019s falling from the sky ahead! At this speed, we\u2019ll crash into it!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cBlast it open!\u201d Shi Jin shouted, swiftly maneuvering the main cannon himself. With Xiao Si\u2019s guidance, he locked on with precision and fired a single shot.<\/span><\/p>

The captain gripped the controls tightly and gritted his teeth as he pushed the ship to its maximum speed. Amidst the violent shaking and thunderous cannon fire, he steered the ship through the nearly closed enemy encirclement, bursting straight through\u2014and then vanishing like a streak of dust!<\/span><\/p>

Behind them, Meng Qing\u2019s aerial squad was caught off guard by Shi Jin\u2019s sudden strike. Several of their aircraft blasted out of the sky and landed right in the middle of the encirclement\u2014where they were promptly finished off by their own friendly forces.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cDamn it! A bunch of useless idiots!\u201d Yuan Peng slammed the table in frustration. \u201cA few dozen ships and you still can\u2019t corner a single Shi Jin? What the hell are you doing?!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Meng Qing\u2019s expression was also sour, but he forced himself to stay relatively calm. \u201cThat ship is basically a mobile artillery platform. It\u2019s no surprise that those worthless ships below couldn\u2019t trap it. But now, their ship\u2019s heavily damaged\u2014it’s on its last legs. Just keep pursuing it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Qi Yun couldn\u2019t quite wrap his head around it. \u201cBy all logic, with an assault this intense, even a powerful ship like that should have been reduced to rubble by concentrated fire\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI told you before, Lian Jun adores Shi Jin very much. The ship he gave Shi Jin is absolutely the best in defense. Why didn\u2019t you believe me? And as for Annihilation\u2019s breakthrough, it’s no wonder it succeeded. Look at the accuracy of your crews\u2019 cannon fire, then look at the precision of Annihilation\u2019s shots! Meng Qing, half of your aerial squad was blasted with a single barrage, while Yuan Peng\u2019s subordinates barely even scratched the ship after all that firing. The difference is obvious, what are you even playing at?\u201d Lu Shan popped up again, pouring cold water on the situation, deliberately belittling Yuan Peng to divert Qi Yun\u2019s attention.<\/span><\/p>

Sure enough, Yuan Peng took the bait, gritting his teeth as he snapped, \u201cLu Shan, cut the smart remarks! This is the open sea\u2014there are too many interfering factors, so how could the target be so easy to hit!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cBut how does Annihilation manage to hit every single shot! I\u2019m not making wisecracks\u2014I just want you all to wake up. Aren\u2019t you afraid of the gap in personnel strength? Over there, one shot from Annihilation makes a crater; none of their firepower is wasted. Over here, at least 70% of our attacks went wide\u2014think about that!\u201d Lu Shan shot back, her voice dropping low as she erupted in a brief outburst. \u201cTarantula\u2019s been fighting against Annihilation for years; I know better than anyone just how strong it is. Be thankful Lian Jun wasn\u2019t on that ship today\u2014or we\u2019d already have served this battle to the enemy on a silver platter! From the meeting until now, you\u2019ve all just been thinking that I was raining on your parade. But have you ever thought about why Annihilation has held a steady, top position all these years. What do you think that\u2019s based on? If you can\u2019t even properly gauge the enemy\u2019s strength, how do you expect us to win?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The air fell into a brief silence, the atmosphere growing heavy and tense.<\/span><\/p>

Everyone knew they were no match for Lian Jun, but who would willingly admit it? He was nothing more than a brand-new junior, and still a cripple who couldn\u2019t even walk! To lose to someone like that\u2014who could accept it?!<\/span><\/p>

\u201cShi Jin isn\u2019t dead yet\u2014why are we arguing among ourselves?\u201d Qi Yun stepped in to smooth things over, speaking in a calm tone. \u201cThis time, it was my men who messed up. We failed to link up with yours to complete the encirclement, which is why Shi Jin got away. That\u2019s my fault and I\u2019ll do my best to make up for it. For now, let\u2019s keep pursuing him. Old Meng is right\u2014Shi Jin is already on his last legs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Meng Qing also stepped in to smooth things over, restraining his emotions. \u201cQi Yun is right. Yuan Peng has worked hard this time\u2014well done. Lu Shan, you\u2019re senior to Yuan Peng, so hold back a little.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Lu Shan said nothing, seeming angry.<\/span><\/p>

Meng Qing then turned to give Yuan Peng a few words of advice. Yuan Peng was reluctant, but he couldn\u2019t afford to offend any of the three people present. Gritting his teeth, he climbed down the ladder, swallowed his anger, and then reorganized his forces, giving chase in the direction Shi Jin had fled.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Fei Yujing burst into the captain\u2019s cabin with Li Jiuzheng, frowning as he asked, \u201cWhat just happened? Didn’t you\u2014\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The captain\u2019s cabin was a complete mess. Everyone inside was slumped crookedly against the walls, the tables, the control panels in awkward positions – their faces drained, wearing the hollow look of survivors who had just escaped disaster. Alarms wailed endlessly, while the mechanical voice announcing the ship\u2019s damage repeated over and over.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cXiao Jin.\u201d Li Jiuzheng hurried over to where Shi Jin was leaning against the table, his voice tight with worry. \u201cAre you hurt? Those last few waves of attacks threw so many people around, you\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI\u2019m fine,\u201d Shi Jin reassured him, forcing himself to regain his composure after the harrowing escape. He glanced at his progress bar, which had dropped back to 700, and let out a sigh of relief. Then he turned to the captain and asked, \u201cHow bad is the hull damage?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The captain had also regained his composure. Steadying himself, he checked the hull\u2019s condition before replying, \u201cIt\u2019s pretty serious\u2026 we can\u2019t afford another battle. The power sector is already exposed\u2014if it takes another hit, the ship will go down.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin frowned, then suddenly turned his head toward Li Jiuzheng and Fei Yujing. After a moment\u2019s hesitation, he said, \u201cThere\u2019s a helicopter onboard. While the enemy hasn\u2019t caught up yet, I could arrange for someone to fly you both to a safe loc\u2014\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Li Jiuzheng\u2019s expression shifted. \u201cXiao Jin, are you trying to send me away?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Fei Yujing also frowned.<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin explained: \u201cI\u2019m not trying to drive you away\u2014it\u2019s just in case\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIf we leave, we leave together.\u201d Li Jiuzheng cut him off, his face expressionless and his tone stubborn.<\/span><\/p>

Seeing him like this, Shi Jin felt a slight headache coming on. \u201cI\u2019m the deputy leader of Annihilation\u2014I can\u2019t possibly abandon everyone and run off on my own. But your situation and Second Brother\u2019s is different. You were dragged into this because of me, and I have to guarantee your safety. If we face another attack like the one just now, I won\u2019t be able to promise\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cFifth Brother absolutely cannot leave\u2014he\u2019s a doctor and must stay here just in case,\u201d Fei Yujing interjected firmly. \u201cYou are all my brothers. As long as you\u2019re here, there\u2019s no way I would leave either. Besides, evacuating by helicopter isn\u2019t safe right now. If we\u2019re spotted, it\u2019s a one-way road to death.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin paused, looking at them: \u201cBut you\u2019ve seen it yourselves\u2014sticking with me is dangerous. Escaping by helicopter still gives us some chance. I\u2019ll send experienced men to escort you out\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s precisely because it\u2019s dangerous that we\u2019re coming with you.\u201d Fei Yujing cut him off again, his tone leaving no room for refusal.<\/span><\/p>

Suddenly, Li Jiuzheng reached out and took Shi Jin\u2019s hand. \u201cXiao Jin, it was you who reached out to me. Now that I\u2019ve grabbed on, I won\u2019t let go.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin felt a sudden pang in his chest. He looked at Li Jiuzheng\u2019s earnest, stubborn expression, then glanced at Fei Yujing\u2019s furrowed brow, and a wave of bittersweet emotion welled up inside of him. Caught completely off guard, he quickly turned his head, drew a deep breath to suppress his emotions, and stood up. \u201cWhat is this, some kind of melodramatic idol drama about brotherly love\u2026? Fine, if you insist on coming along, come along. But if anything actually happens to you, don\u2019t expect me to feel guilty.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cSaying that in the first place is proof enough of a guilty conscience,\u201d Fei Yujing cut him down without mercy. Glancing at the various alarms flashing across the ship, he asked, \u201cSo how do you plan to escape? There are still plenty of pursuers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin composed himself, glancing at the time and the distance to Gua One\u2019s ambush position. Frowning in thought, he gave the order, \u201cCaptain, find a way to hide the ship. We can\u2019t let the enemy detect us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Those on the ship froze for a moment at his words, then quickly snapped to attention and responded with a brisk \u201cYes!\u201d before springing into action.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cGua Two, Gua Five, use this time to check on the crew for any injuries. Fifth Brother, I\u2019ll leave the med bay arrangements to you.\u201d Shi Jin continued giving orders, then turned to Li Jiuzheng to make a request.<\/span><\/p>

Li Jiuzheng nodded, leaning in to give him a brief hug before turning and leaving the captain\u2019s cabin. Gua Two and Gua Five nodded to Shi Jin and then followed a step behind.<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin watched them leave, straightened up, and flexed his hands. He walked over to where the first officer was stationed, glanced at the alarms flashing across the ship, and let out a soft breath. \u201cAlright, now it\u2019s hide-and-seek time. Let\u2019s see who\u2019s the better player.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cAnnihilation\u2019s ship has vanished. We can\u2019t pinpoint its exact location\u2014only the general direction,\u201d Yuan Peng frowned as he spoke. \u201cThey must have shut down most of the ship\u2019s systems, leaving it running on minimal power to avoid radar detection.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Lu Shan said: \u201cThey can\u2019t have gotten far. We just need to conduct a thorough search within a certain radius. And watch out for any suspicious aircraft\u2014be careful, Shi Jin might try to escape by helicopter.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI\u2019ve already instructed the aerial squad to keep an eye out. Still, I think\u2014unless absolutely necessary\u2014Shi Jin won\u2019t abandon a whole crew just to escape on his own. But in any case, everyone stay extra vigilant,\u201d Meng Qing added.<\/span><\/p>

Half an hour later, Yuan Peng received news from below\u2014Annihilation\u2019s ship had reappeared!<\/span><\/p>

But before they could regroup and give chase, Annihilation\u2019s ship vanished from radar once again.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWhat the hell is this?!\u201d Yuan Peng snapped, his voice low and sharp. \u201cKeep searching! Lock onto the previous coordinates!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Another half hour later, the search team finally discovered traces of Annihilation\u2019s ship. But before they could even report back to Yuan Peng, Annihilation\u2019s ship launched a sudden, all-out assault on the search team without hesitation, firing wildly, and then tore off once again.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cKeep chasing! Split into teams and block the other two escape routes!\u201d Yuan Peng barked irritably.<\/span><\/p>

Ten minutes later, Annihilation\u2019s ship was spotted again, only for the search team to be attacked once more. Annihilation escaped yet again, vanishing from radar. This cycle repeated several times. By the first light of dawn, Yuan Peng had finally suppressed his temper and patiently blocked every possible escape route. He positioned the main force along Annihilation\u2019s likely path, setting up a trap from which escape would be impossible.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cLet\u2019s see how you plan to escape this time!\u201d Yuan Peng was practically driven mad by the night-long pursuit.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cWe\u2019re completely surrounded.\u201d Shi Jin glanced at the time and feeling drained, sank to the floor. \u201cAlright, now it\u2019s time to pray.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

On the radar, the red dots representing the enemy formed a tight circle, closing in rapidly on the green dot at the center. Everyone in the captain\u2019s cabin stared intently at the screen, their backs soaked through with cold sweat.<\/span><\/p>

Alarms blared to a deafening pitch as Shi Jin\u2019s progress bar suddenly spiked to 998.5. Amidst Xiao Si\u2019s piercing screams, firepower built up\u2014and then a thunderous barrage of cannon fire filled the sky.<\/span><\/p>

Lian Jun jolted awake from his coma, feeling disoriented for a few seconds before regaining his senses. He raised a hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at Uncle Long, who had his back to the bed while checking the instrument readings. In a hoarse voice, he asked, \u201cUncle Long, what time is it? Where is Shi Jin now?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Uncle Long paused his movements and turned to look at him.<\/span><\/p>

Lian Jun immediately noticed something off in his attitude. His heart sank as he sat up, frowning, he asked, \u201cWhere is Shi Jin?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Uncle Long hesitated for a moment, then said, \u201cShi Jin\u2026 hasn\u2019t returned. He\u2019s heading toward the LS Archipelago.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Lian Jun\u2019s eyes widened abruptly as he immediately realized what was happening. With a grim expression, he pulled out the IV from his hand, threw back the covers, and swung his legs off the bed.<\/span><\/p>

Uncle Long hurried to stop him, saying, \u201cJun-shao, Shi Jin is safe for now. Gua Two will send a message at the scheduled time. You don\u2019t need to\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cUncle Long.\u201d Lian Jun cut him off, forcing himself to stand beside the bed. He looked at him gravely and said, \u201cCall Gua Six over. I\u2019m going after Shi Jin. There\u2019s a secret allied organization near the Meridian Gate in the LS islands. What if Meng Qing\u2026 I can\u2019t let him go there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Uncle Long frowned at him, muttering a low curse under his breath. He didn\u2019t try to stop him any further and turned to leave the hospital room.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Explosions erupted from all directions, violently churning the water and making the ship shake uncontrollably. Flames, smoke, and the cacophony of battle filled the air. In the captain\u2019s room, everyone stared at the radar where the dense red dots that had been closing in suddenly froze, and a massive cluster of green dots appeared outside them. After a brief moment of stunned silence, they all relaxed, letting the ship\u2019s rocking carry them down to the floor.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cFinally, that guy Gua One has finally shown up.\u201d Gua Two wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and, through the window, glanced at the raging fire all around. He couldn\u2019t help but punch Shi Jin lightly. \u201cAfter this, you absolutely can\u2019t lead a team into battle again\u2014it\u2019s way too terrifying. If Gua One had arrived even just one second later, we\u2019d all have been finished.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Shi Jin glanced at his progress bar, which had instantly dropped back to 300, and listened to Xiao Si\u2019s wailing of relief echoing in his mind. He gave Gua Two a light punch in return, exhaled deeply, and forced a bitter smile. \u201cIn the end, we were still forced to change our ambush location. I originally wanted to hit the route over there, but my real combat experience is still a bit lacking\u2026 Oh well, this spot\u2019s close to the route, so it\u2019s not too bad either.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cWhat did you say? An ambush?!\u201d Yuan Peng jumped up to his feet in disbelief, shouting into the phone. \u201cHow could it be an ambush! Didn\u2019t you notice any ships approaching from behind\u2014\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Boom\u2014\u2014!<\/span><\/em><\/p>

The distant, muffled sound of cannon fire echoed, and then the call was cut off. Yuan Peng froze, incredulous, disbelief written across his face as he slowly lowered the phone.. \u201cTh-this\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Meanwhile, on the other three-way call, Meng Qing, Qi Yun, and Lu Shan all received calls from their subordinates, getting the exact same news that Yuan Peng had just heard.<\/span><\/p>

It turned out to be an ambush. Just as the four fleets were about to completely encircle Annihilation\u2019s ship and reduce it to rubble, a sudden volley of fire erupted from behind them. By the time they realized there were hidden forces, it was already too late to evade the attack.<\/span><\/p>

The entire fleet was wiped out. Annihilation had laid an ambush with at least thirty ships, most of them underwater support vessels. Each of these ships must have been equipped with top-notch anti-detection systems and stealth technology; otherwise, their approach wouldn\u2019t have gone completely unnoticed even when the enemy had already entered their firing range.<\/span><\/p>

“It was an ambush all along\u2026” Qi Yun was stunned, feeling his throat go dry. “At what point did it turn into a trap? Annihilation was almost surrounded by us several times\u2014was he using his life as bait to lure us in? He\u2026”<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI told you before that there might be a trap ahead, but none of you listened,\u201d Lu Shan said, her voice carrying both fatigue and an exasperated \u2018I knew it\u2019 tone. \u201cNow we have to minimize casualties and losses as much as possible and retreat. Luckily, we weren\u2019t personally on the front lines this time, so the situation isn\u2019t too bad.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

No one responded. Everyone was in disbelief\u2026 and unwilling to accept it.<\/span><\/p>

How could it be possible? These seasoned veterans, these powerful organizations working together, had actually been outsmarted by a kid still in school. How could this possibly\u2014<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWait\u2026 why here?\u201d Qi Yun suddenly snapped back to focus, staring at the navigation map. \u201cShi Jin spent the entire night playing hide-and-seek with us, a few times we almost got him, and in the end, he led us right here, trapping us completely\u2026 But why here? He\u2014\u201d His words abruptly caught in his throat. Looking at the enlarged map before him, everything suddenly became clear.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWe\u2019ve fallen into Shi Jin\u2019s trap,\u201d he said gravely, his face as cold as frost.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d Yuan Peng asked puzzled, still not noticing anything amiss.<\/span><\/p>

Lu Shan and Meng Qing quickly caught on as well. They glanced at the location of the skirmish, and their expressions changed drastically\u2014 it was right near the international shipping lanes between Country R and Country A. This transport hub was extremely important, and under international agreements, no matter the conflicts between nations, this route must not be disturbed.<\/span><\/p>

But now, this group of violent Chinese organizations not only engaged in combat near the lane, they\u2019ve also destroyed twenty to thirty ships in its very vicinity. If this incident were to be exposed\u2026<\/span><\/p>

Meng Qing said with a grim expression: \u201cShi Jin is handing a knife to Zhang Zhuoyuan. Lu Shan is right\u2014fortunately, we weren\u2019t personally on the front lines this time.\u201d Otherwise, everyone would have been wiped out by the authorities under some pretext.<\/span><\/p>

But even without being physically present, under the premise that the Chinese violent organizations\u2019 clash affected an international shipping lane, Zhang Zhuoyuan would have plenty of excuses to crack down on all the major criminal groups and severely cut them down to size! For at least the next six months, they\u2019d have to keep their heads low and tread carefully.<\/span><\/p>

Not only that, the people they sent out this time could very well become Shi Jin\u2019s bargaining chips.<\/span><\/p>

Lu Shan also realized this and said, slightly irritated, \u201cGet ready to take a huge hit. Those ridiculous malicious competition clauses are still in effect\u2026 Damn it, do you think it\u2019s easy for me to build up a few small organizations? This time, it’ll all probably be wiped out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The atmosphere fell into a deathly silence. Everyone deeply realized that this time, they had lost to Shi Jin\u2014completely and utterly.<\/span><\/p>

Qi Yun still couldn\u2019t accept this reality. He frowned as he said, \u201cHow could it be an ambush? How did I not see Shi Jin\u2019s intentions\u2026 Could all of this\u2026 been planned by Lian Jun? He must have guessed that we would form an alliance, so he set Shi Jin up to pull this stunt, luring us into a trap. And while our alliance is still unstable, he\u2019s creating an excuse to use the authorities to crack down on us\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Listening to those words, Meng Qing recalled Shi Jin\u2019s behavior over the past few days. His face twitched, and he clenched his fist tightly.<\/span><\/p>

Impossible. His pride wouldn\u2019t allow him to be defeated by a newcomer like this so easily. Absolutely not!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
