"I think so too." Ren Feng smiled. "No one is worse than anyone else. As long as you believe and act, sooner or later, you'll surpass the others."
"Alright, it's getting late, go get some rest. In a few days, we'll reach the site of the ruins."
Long Yue stood up, gave a soft "mm," and walked toward the rest cabin. The captain had specially arranged a separate cabin for Long Yue, so he didn't have to squeeze in with the other soldiers.
Ren Feng lifted his head and looked at the starry sky, worry still lingering in his eyes.
Hopefully, this time in the ancient ruins, he can find the pills he needs.
...
The Starry Sky sailed across the ocean without a moment's pause, splitting the waves in two. Whether in daylight or in Black Night, it kept moving nonstop.
After a full nine days, the Starry Sky had already entered the South Pacific Ocean, northeast of New Zealand and to the east of Australia.
"We're almost there."
In the bridge, the captain checked the map and immediately prepared to contact the fleet that had arrived ahead of them.
However, just then, several black dots suddenly appeared in the distant blue sky, flying toward them.
"Attention all units! Attention all units! Flying objects at twelve o'clock, maintain alert!"
The urgent message rang through everyone's earpieces. The soldiers were already at their respective posts, ready to move at any time.
"Captain, they're transmitting a message."
A soldier turned and said.
"What are they saying?"
"They say this sea area has been sealed off by them. No other military force is allowed to enter, otherwise it will be regarded as provocation and war."
"Hmph, the Pacific Ocean is not their back garden, it doesn't belong to them to decide. Reply to them: they're not qualified to say that!"
The captain said coldly.
"We've replied, but they say if we dare to keep moving forward, they'll open fire!"
A flash of anger crossed the captain's face. "Get our fighters in the air!"
Meanwhile, up ahead in midair—
"This is 01, the target carrier intends to launch fighters. What are our orders? Over."
"Intimidation strike, over."
"No problem, we'll scare them so badly they'll run back home, over."
Several F22 fighters tilted their fuselages and flew toward this side, and the lead fighter simply opened fire without hesitation!
Da-da-da, da-da-da!
Countless bullets splashed across the sea around the Starry Sky, kicking up wave after wave!
"Warn them: if they dare act recklessly again, we won't hold back. Over."
At the same time, in the Starry Sky's bridge, the captain's face grew even darker.
"Captain, they say if we move forward again, they'll destroy us."
"Advance." The captain snorted coldly. "Tell them if they dare enter within 500 meters of us, we'll destroy them too!"
Right now, they could not retreat!
This was a contest of momentum and courage!
"This is 01, the target carrier has not stopped, over."
"Threaten them with missiles, over."
One F22 fighter, as the pilot pressed down, suddenly launched a missile straight toward the Starry Sky.
"Captain, they've launched a missile!"
Boom!
The missile exploded in the sea not far ahead of the carrier. The massive blast hurled the spray toward the carrier, and even the soldiers inside the carrier felt the jolt.
Ren Feng, who was resting, also felt the tremor. His eyes snapped open, his spiritual sense spreading out as his brows furrowed!
"Captain!"
The captain's face seemed to knot up. He stared at the dots on the radar; there seemed to be more appearing.
In other words, the other side had dispatched dozens more fighters to intercept this carrier.
"Any intel on how many carriers they've sent in total?"
"Yes, nine carriers in total, all deployed."
The captain's heart sank slightly. "Contact Mr. Gao of the Jiao Long Fleet!"
The Jiao Long Fleet was the group of ships deployed here earlier; this time the Starry Sky was only coming as support.
Those fighters were still hovering in front of the Starry Sky, forming an encirclement.
"This is 01, the Starry Sky is continuing to advance!"
At the same time, on a carrier more than ten kilometers away at sea, the officer in charge of this operation was a Navy admiral of the United States—Armstrong. He was a member of the Freemasonry, and also one of the United States' hawks, extremely aggressive.
"Still advancing?"
A cold smile touched Armstrong's face. He looked at the colleagues in front of him and said, "We've already given them a chance. This time, we'll just wipe them out!"
"General, that doesn't match our orders. The original strategic purpose this time is only to intimidate them. If we clash with the other side now, it could even lead to war!"
The others shot to their feet in panic, anxiety written on their faces.
"That's right, General. Our mission this time is mainly that mysterious natural miracle. If we clash with another Navy at this point, it will definitely be bad for us."
"Enough!" Armstrong said coldly. "I'll make the call. There won't be a war, but we must teach them a lesson. We're not so easy to provoke. If they question us, we'll say the pilot acted on his own, fired in error and missed his target."
The others looked at each other; one of them shook his head.
"General, what you're doing doesn't serve our interests!"
"I'm the general here!"
Armstrong slammed the table and glared at the rest.
"If anyone keeps opposing me, I'll toss him into the sea to feed the fish!"
No one spoke again, and Armstrong directly issued the order. The fighter pilots, upon receiving it, immediately armed their missile launch systems—but this time, every target was aimed at and locked onto the Starry Sky!
According to the order, they were to sink the Starry Sky outright!
"Target locked, ready to fire!"
Whoosh!
Countless missiles streaked forward, flames trailing from their tails, straight toward the Starry Sky.
"Captain, they're attacking us!"
None of the soldiers in the bridge had expected the opposing forces to be this insane, actually daring to use real force!
On the deck, countless Navy sailors looked up to see dozens of missiles streaking toward them, their faces frozen in shock!
But one soldier bellowed on the spot, "Intercept! Intercept!"
The entire Starry Sky fell into chaos at once, countless people sprinting toward the fighters parked on the deck.
But it was still too late. Those missiles were about to slam in within a split second!
