Chapter 523: Premonition
Commander? Commander!
A gentle yet fierce voice sounded, and Qin Ge abruptly lifted his head to see the beautiful woman standing before him—'Saint Louis, what's wrong?'
Saint Louis let out a breath and said, 'Hey, I've been calling you commander for so long and you didn't respond, so I could speak loudly.'
Qin Ge embarrassedly rubbed his nose, 'Sorry, I just spaced out a moment ago.'
"Hehe, let me guess what the commander is thinking—could it be about a girl?" Saint Louis said with a smile.
Qin Ge shook his head, ignoring Saint Louis's teasing, and looking out the window said, 'No, I've recently been feeling an ominous premonition, but I can't say where the ominous feeling lies.'
"An ominous premonition?" Saint Louis reached out and touched Qin Ge's forehead, "The commander isn't feverish—why are you talking nonsense? With me, LuckyLuo, by your side, what ill fortune do you have to worry about?"
Qin Ge laughed at Saint Louis's action, 'Hehe, that's not it—just a kind of ominous premonition, as if something is happening, and when this premonition appears, it was the day I previously summoned Xin ze xi and the others.'
But this might just be my overthinking; anyway, the New Year is coming up soon, so go inform Enterprise and the others to strengthen patrols in our Gangqu waters, and have the destroyers equip the Shout Observation Device, and if possible, bring submarines along.
"Do you think the Sirens will launch an attack from the seabed?" Saint Louis said.
Qin Ge shook his head uncertainly, 'I don't know; it's just a feeling. If there's nothing, all the better, but if there is, we should take precautions beforehand.'
The key is that the New Year is coming up soon, and everyone has more or less let down their guard; indeed, if the Sirens attack at this time, we would suffer a major loss.
"Indeed, the situation you mentioned, Commander, is quite likely to happen; since that's the case, I'll now go talk to Enterprise and the others." Saint Louis said.
"Mm, thank you, Saint Louis." Qin Ge said to Saint Louis.
Saint Louis's figure quickly walked out of the office, and Qin Ge, watching her back, couldn't help but feel a hint of worry.
I hope I'm just feeling wrong; otherwise, this year really won't be good.
On the other side, Saint Louis immediately arrived at Enterprise's location, where in the field she saw her and Hai Lun Na as well as Cleveland, with Independence saying something.
Several people saw Saint Louis's arrival and thus smiled and greeted her.
"Hello everyone, it turns out you're all here." Saint Louis said with a smile.
"Saint Louis sis, I remember you aren't the commander's secretary ship this week, so why are you running over here? Now isn't the time to take on commissions—if you want to go out for a stroll, wait until your secretary ship duty ends, and then I'll go out with you." Hai Lun Na laughed as she said to Saint Louis.
"Hehe, I'm not here to take on any commission; I simply also have a mission on my shoulders." Saint Louis smiled at Hai Lun Na.
Immediately she turned her head toward Enterprise, 'Enterprise, the commander said he's recently been feeling a bad premonition, so he hopes you can strengthen patrols within our defense zone during this period, preferably having all destroyers equip sonar detectors and adding submarines to the patrol fleet.'
Enterprise's smile gradually faded, turning contemplative, 'Does the commander also have this kind of premonition?'
"Huh? Are you saying you also have this kind of premonition?" Saint Louis asked somewhat strangely.
Enterprise shook her head, 'It's not a premonition; rather, I feel the reports from the patrol teams returning these past two days are very strange.'
"Strange? What's strange about it?" Saint Louis asked, and Hai Lun Na and the others nearby were drawn into the conversation, turning their attention this way.
You should know that the waters near our Gangqu are the Three-body Sea Area, so any Siren fleet appearing there should not exceed the limits of a Level 3 sea area, but several times we've actually found Siren fleets from within a Level 4 sea area in the middle of our waters.
I thought it was coincidental, but it's happened several times in a row like this, so today I wanted Hai Lun Na and the others to come over and thoroughly investigate what's happening inside the eroded Level 3 sea area." Enterprise said to Saint Louis.
"Do you think it could be a Siren plot?" Saint Louis asked.
"I don't know, but I feel something must be hidden behind this. Moreover, the commander has also noticed it, so it's quite likely true; therefore I will follow the commander's instructions, and I will report any issues promptly." Enterprise said to Saint Louis.
"Then thank you for the trouble." Saint Louis smiled.
"This is our duty; moreover, Hai Lun Na herself recently increased the radar detection range, so I'm sure we'll find something." Enterprise smiled.
"Then everything's up to you, Hai Lun Na—good luck." Saint Louis smiled, "If you really discover something this time, I'll ask the commander for permission to let him accompany you on a date."
"Eh, Saint Louis sis, what are you saying!" Hai Lun Na's face turned red in an instant.
"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore; since you've decided to investigate, I'll go report to the commander." Saint Louis said with a smile.
"Mm, let the commander rest easy; we'll tighten patrols in the waters near Gangqu." Enterprise said.
After everyone finished speaking, Saint Louis left Enterprise's location and headed toward the Headquarters Office.
But upon returning to the office, they discovered that there was now an extra person in the office—that person's silhouette was Xinong.
"Huh, Xinong, how did you come here?" Saint Louis said strangely.
The one answering Saint Louis's question wasn't Xinong but Qin Ge sitting nearby; seeing him frown, he said to Saint Louis, 'Xinong came over and told me she had a dream: the dream was filled with Sirens covering the sky and earth, and the defenses of all factions were barely holding on.'
"What does that mean? It's just an ordinary dream, right?" Saint Louis said strangely.
My person is entwined with many fated inevitabilities, so sometimes this kind of dream represents our future destiny. Therefore I feel this is not simply a mere dream; it is more of an omen for the future." Xinong said to Saint Louis.
"So that's what you mean?" Saint Louis asked doubtfully.
Qin Ge narrowed his eyes, 'Perhaps something bad is really happening, but we just haven't noticed it yet.'
"Could it be that..."
