Chapter 536: Surprise!

On the sea surface covered in mist, at this moment rows of Siren Mass-Produced Fleet shimmered with a blue-black light, and with some gloomy weather, they appeared exceptionally eerie.

Then a blue little head popped up from the sea surface, and beside that blue little head, a yellow-haired little head also appeared.

"Nautilus, why did you just pull me and tell me not to go up? Clearly that was such a good opportunity." Da Qinghua Yu said to Nautilus.

"I need to first tell Sister Hai Lun Na to have her bring the others away from here." Nautilus said, "And that opportunity just now wasn't good either; if we two fired from there, we would only cause them collateral damage, not major harm."

"So then?" Da Qinghua Yu asked, "Are we supposed to directly engage them head‑on? We're submarines, after all!"

"Isn't that impossible?" Nautilus said weakly.

"Of course it's impossible." Da Qinghua Yu said, then her eyes shifted, she stared at the approaching vanguard fleet, "Nautilus, I have a great idea!"

"What idea?" Nautilus asked doubtfully.

"When we came over just now, didn't we see that their vanguard fleet had no submarines, only destroyers and light cruisers?"

"These Siren destroyers and light cruisers can't do anti‑submarine warfare, so we can submerge; when they pass over our heads we surface and give them a surprise—how about that?" Da Qinghua Yu said, eyes bright.

"A surprise?" Nautilus's eyes also gradually brightened.

"Exactly, Surprise!" Da Qinghua Yu said with a laugh.

"Then let's do that, act together!" Nautilus said.

"Hehe~"

After the two confirmed the plan, their heads slowly sank, and then beneath the sea they turned into two undercurrents, rushing toward the oncoming vanguard fleet.

"Boom boom boom!"

A sudden explosion sound came from behind, causing Hai Lun Na and the others to turn their heads. Although the sea mist blocked their sight, it could not block the firelight coming from afar.

"Is that Da Qinghua Yu and the others? Have they started attacking the vanguard fleet?" Biaoqiang said to Hai Lun Na.

"Probably." Hai Lun Na nodded, "Everyone, full firepower—while they haven't caught up, we'll break the aerial blockade and quickly withdraw from here. Otherwise, the opportunity those two created for us would be wasted."

"Yes."

Just as everyone responded, a sound of carrier aircraft came from afar, and then the familiar sight made Biaoqiang next to them delight.

"Sister Hai Lun Na, look, it's a Hellcat! Our support has arrived!" Biaoqiang exclaimed excitedly.

"I don't know if it's Bumblebee or Independence," Hai Lun Na said, looking up at the carrier aircraft.

"Hehe, of course it's my righteous partner!"

A youthful yet hearty voice appeared in the distance of the few people, and then a familiar‑looking figure in familiar attire appeared before them.

"Osborn! Who did you come with?" Stanley said in surprise.

"Of course it's my great Bumblebee."

Behind Osborn, a tall figure appeared wearing a black cape, with a familiar cowboy hat on the head. Two golden ponytails floated in the sea breeze, and the familiar smile on that face let Hai Lun Na and the others breathe a sigh of relief.

"Bumblebee."

"Alright, now isn't the time for pleasantries—the commander's fleet will soon approach this sea area; before that we must first eliminate the safety hazards here, otherwise others will look down on us." Bumblebee said nonchalantly.

"Yes."

With the addition of the main force ship girls and reinforcements, everyone's hearts instantly relaxed considerably. The anti‑air fire that had just been suppressed by the airborne carrier aircraft group, unable to lift its head, also received reinforcements and soon wiped out this batch of carrier aircraft.

"Alright, now nothing is obstructing our retreat—we'll withdraw one after another, reach the command ship, first meet with the commander, then talk." Bumblebee glanced at the surrounding sea surface and said to everyone.

"But Nautilus and Da Qinghua Yu are still over there." Biaoqiang pointed at the distant place where firelight was rising.

"Don't worry, no need to mention Da Qinghua Yu—that guy is slippery; seeing the situation turn bad, he'll sneak away on his own. That little Nautilus may be weak, but each time she's the first to spot the enemy, while the enemy can't spot her." Bumblebee said with a laugh.

"Is that okay?" Nengdai furrowed her brows; deep down she still didn't want to abandon her comrades.

Just as several people were speaking, a golden‑haired head suddenly shot up from beneath the sea surface, then loudly shouted at the startled crowd, "Surprise!"

"Ah!" Biaoqiang hurriedly looked over, discovering that the person now before everyone was not Da Qinghua Yu—who else could it be?

"Just look, I said she's sly and sly, she'll be fine." Bumblebee said to everyone, though when no one was paying attention to her she still secretly let out a breath—whether worried or not, only she herself knew.

"By the way, Da Qinghua Yu, what about Nautilus? Isn't she with you?" Hai Lun Na asked urgently.

"I'm here." Beside Stanley, a blue‑haired figure weakly raised a hand and said.

"Ah, Nautilus, when did you get to my side? I thought the one beside me was Smooli!"

Naturally, the most shocked person right now was Stanley—she never imagined that Nautilus would appear silently beside her.

"Just when Da Qinghua Yu was shouting 'Surprise!' to you guys, the two of us were together." Nautilus said.

"Huh?"

"Alright, since those two have arrived, that's good—let's hurry back to the command ship; the commander should be arriving soon." Bumblebee said.

"Yes."

The crowd immediately formed a line and rushed toward the direction they had come from at the fastest speed.

At this moment, on Qin Ge's command ship, Qin Ge frowned, looking toward the left front, because just a short while ago a deafening explosion had sounded there, followed by flames rising.

"Hai Lun Na and the others should have engaged the Siren Mass‑Produced Fleet at that outpost, right?" Enterprise said, standing beside Qin Ge.

"I don't know how they are now; I heard Cleveland say that this time the main force isn't large, and there are only two aircraft carriers, both serving as flagship command ships, and only Hai Lun Na, Nengdai, and Biaoqiang, along with some destroyers, went on the reconnaissance mission."

"And now the signal has suddenly been blocked, so we can't get in touch with them." Qin Ge said worriedly.

"It's fine, Commander—although Bumblebee is usually lively and active a bit, at critical moments she's still very reliable; I believe she will definitely handle things there." Enterprise said.

"Hmm, I know—I've been with Bumblebee for so long, I certainly know what kind of person she is." Qin Ge nodded, then turned his head to look at Cleveland beside him, "Cleveland, how much farther is the route?"

"Commander, it's coming up right away!"
