Chapter 541: An Unexpected Encounter

Really annoying!

Washington destroyed the Siren ship ahead with a single shot, then turned to look at North Carolina beside him, seeing that North Carolina had also lowered its Ship Equipment's gun barrels, obviously finished as well.

"Indeed, these Siren ships have been endless since just now. Although their numbers are few, we keep running into them every so often—it's unbearable." said North Carolina.

It seems this time not only Washington, but even the nice guy North Carolina is getting fed up.

At that moment, Baltimore came over and said to the two of them, "Are you both alright? I just saw a shell land nearby—are you hurt?"

"No, that shell was just a near miss; it caused no damage." said North Carolina.

"Good." Baltimore nodded, turned to look at Sheng Di Ya Ge and the others cleaning the battlefield, "The battles are too frequent; we can't keep going like this."

Washington said to Baltimore, "What, are you scared?"

"How could a hero be afraid?" Baltimore smiled, then his expression turned serious, "The battles we've encountered here are so frequent; one can imagine how frequent the battles must be for Helena and her group over there."

"Their supplies are limited; if they keep encountering such frequent battles, they'll run out soon, and then it'll be dire."

North Carolina nodded, "Indeed, as Baltimore said, our main objective this time is to rescue Helena and her group; we absolutely must not let those Sirens tie us down."

"After that, if it's just a small Siren squad, we'll abandon combat and rush straight through, prioritizing finding Helena and her group."

"Tch, really pisses me off." Washington looked at the fog ahead and said, "Otherwise, let's just stop cleaning the battlefield and go full speed forward!"

"Good!" Baltimore laughed, nodded, and took the lead charging forward.

"Everyone, stop cleaning the battlefield; we're moving out now—first we find Helena and her group!"

"Yes!"

"Geez, there definitely aren't any Siren outposts in this direction; all the good spots have been taken by U81 and her gang."

Lan shan yu moved through the water, murmuring "drip-drip, gurgle" as she went.

"To expand the search area, although Torri De Li sneaked off, they were still caught by U81 and her group. Afterwards, under U81's arrangement, everyone began searching this sea in a fan-shaped pattern."

Lan shan yu was also summoned when Qin Ge previously called forth Xin ze xi and her group; although her proficiency is low now, she's more than adequate for reconnaissance duties.

Moreover, this time Qin Ge ordered them not to engage in combat—if they spot any abnormality, they must retreat immediately. This also fundamentally cuts off their inclination to stir up trouble.

But because her proficiency is low, Lan shan yu was assigned to the edge of the fan formation, ensuring she encounters fewer Sirens here.

However, despite this, as she traveled Lan shan yu felt that Siren warships were scattered all over the sea surface, so she never dared to surface. Only when she occasionally noticed there were no Siren warships nearby would she pop up to take a breath.

As for how long she's been away from the Qin Ge Fleet, Lan shan yu doesn't know; she hasn't kept track.

But just as she was complaining, she unexpectedly detected two familiar signals ahead—those were submarine signals.

Lan shan yu's eyes lit up. "Could it be that U81 and her gang got lost? Hehe, I'll go up and give them a good mocking."

After saying that, she sped up and swiftly dove toward those two signals...

"How are you doing, Bumblebee?" Helena said to the advancing Bumblebee. At this moment her clothes were covered in scorch marks, her usually fair face smeared with soot into a messy state, looking quite disheveled.

The Bumblebee ahead, wearing a cloak, is now tattered; the flight deck on its right side has cracked, and the cap on its head is nowhere to be found.

"Not bad, but that shell just now damaged my flight deck, so now I can launch only four carrier aircraft per sortie." said Bumblebee.

"This can't go on." Helena said, "The battles are too frequent, it's as if Sirens are everywhere; while we're okay, Stanley and her group have already entered heavy damage status."

"They've completely lost combat capability, and now they need protection; if they suffer another explosion, they'll likely..."

Helena didn't continue, because what followed was obvious.

The Bumblebee ahead also fell silent, "It's my fault; we went the wrong way."

"No, if it weren't for Bumblebee's timely support, we probably couldn't have held out this long." Helena quickly shook her head and said.

Nengdai beside them spoke up, "Now isn't the time to argue who's right or wrong; our main goal is to figure out the retreat direction and find the commander promptly. Otherwise, the only outcome awaiting us is to be buried at sea."

"But the radar signal..." Helena had just said when a voice came from the rear of the formation.

"Senior Helena, wait!"

Upon hearing that, Helena immediately stopped moving forward and halted together with everyone on the sea surface.

Only saw the big bluefish and Nautilus quickly catching up.

"What's wrong, big bluefish?" Helena asked.

"I just felt a signal while diving—it's a submarine signal." said the big bluefish.

Helena's face tightened immediately. "Could it be that the Siren submarines attacked again?"

"No, it's a signal from a submarine girl, and it's quickly approaching." said the big bluefish.

"A submarine girl? Could it be our fleet's submarine?" Bumblebee asked urgently.

"I don't know." said the big bluefish, "but I feel this signal is very familiar."

"That must be our fleet's submarine!" Helena exclaimed excitedly, "I just knew the commander wouldn't abandon us."

"What nonsense, the commander definitely wouldn't abandon us." said Bumblebee, "but this fog is too weird; perhaps even those searching for our fleet have lost their way."

Upon hearing Bumblebee say that, everyone couldn't help but nod. If it weren't for the fog, they wouldn't be in such a state.

In the midst of everyone's conversation, the Nautilus beside them looked at the distant sea surface and said, "Here they come!"

Everyone immediately turned their gaze to where the Nautilus was looking; only to see that beneath the fog's veil, the sea surface was calm and windless.

Suddenly, a small head with deep blue hair and black skin popped out.

"Huh? Helena? Bumblebee? And the big bluefish? How could it be you guys?"

Helena and her group, seeing the familiar figure, exclaimed in surprise, "Lan shan yu!"
