Chapter 545: U96's Discovery
Just as Washington and the others were meeting with Hai Lun Na and her group, on the other side, the submarines that had set out to search for the Siren stronghold finally also gained something.
After U96 had been submerged for a long time, it finally used its own sonar detection to discover an abnormal location.
It was neither a submarine like the fleet girls' submarines nor a submarine like the Sirens', but something completely unknown.
Thus U96 immediately dove into the deep sea, then slowly approached the signal source. What appeared before her was a huge submarine, from whose surroundings countless white mists arose and then floated up to the sea surface.
"No, although it can submerge, there's no way it could be a submarine," U96 exclaimed, looking at the huge ship equipment completely enveloped by a shield.
"No, we need to go around to the other side to look at it head-on."
To determine this abnormal identity, U96 decided to take a risk. However, because of Qin Ge's words, she acted very carefully, almost silently circling around and then arriving at the front of that huge submarine.
"Indeed, that's it—a Siren high-ranking humanoid, a model never seen before," U96 said warily, looking at the white-clad girl lying quietly on the ship equipment wrapped in a shield.
"It seems the sea fog is being produced by her; we must immediately inform the commander so he can bring everyone over!"
Saying is doing, so U96 quickly submerged, arrived at a position unseen by that submarine, and then used a special communication method to send a signal to all the submarines in the fleet.
"I have already located the smoke fog generator; it is a Siren high-ranking humanoid never seen before. Please all return quickly to inform the commander; I will leave a signal beacon here and monitor her."
Upon receiving this signal, the submarines were momentarily stunned, then quickly turned back and headed toward the direction from which they had come, toward the fleet.
And the Big Blue Flower Fish, which had always been diving alone, naturally also received the signal and sensed the position of that new signal beacon.
Only see the Big Blue Flower Fish quickly leap out of the water and say to the advancing crowd, "Everyone, U96 just sent a signal, having discovered the Siren high-ranking humanoid that creates the sea fog; she notified us to regroup immediately and bring the fleet over."
"Indeed, it's the Siren high-ranking humanoid behind this; looks like it's time to sound the horn of counterattack!" North Carolina said with a smile.
"I've long been eager to do this; let's return to the fleet right away so that after meeting with the commander we can jointly go deal with that Siren high-ranking humanoid!" Washington said, clenching his fists.
"Hehe, indeed, a hero cannot retreat here." Baltimore said.
"That's right, we'll increase speed and quickly head to the command department." Cleveland said.
"Let's go!"
Seeing everyone full of spirit, Hai Lun Na and the others following behind also couldn't help but smile slightly. This experience was truly fraught with danger; without the Lan shan yu, this time would really have caused a major problem.
It seems that no matter where we go or what mission we undertake, we must first prepare the emergency repair tools; only then will we have enough confidence to fight the enemy.

"Commander, Hai Lun Na and her group and North Carolina and her group have returned!"
A blue-colored figure appeared at the hatch of the command ship, speaking to Qin Ge, who was together with several fleet girls looking at a sea chart.
Qin Ge turned around and said, "Saint Louis, how are Hai Lun Na and her group? Why did it take so long?"
"Let them tell you yourself." Saint Louis said, then said to the hatch outside, "Come in quickly."
Qin Ge immediately doubted Saint Louis's action, wondering if there was still someone outside the hatch.
Only then did a pale blue figure walk out, somewhat embarrassed and shy. Although her ship equipment clothing was dirty and somewhat damaged, her face no longer fair, Qin Ge immediately recognized her as Hai Lun Na.
"Hai Lun Na?!" Qin Ge exclaimed, quickly stepping forward and reaching out to touch her face, "What happened to you? How did you end up like this? Are you injured?"
Hai Lun Na was already somewhat embarrassed and shy, and after Qin Ge did that, she couldn't utter a word.
Seeing this, Saint Louis beside her only shook his head and said helplessly, "Hai Lun Na, after going out and coming back to see the commander, you're so excited you can't speak."
"What? Don't spout nonsense, Sister Saint Louis." Hai Lun Na quickly retorted, blushing.
"Hehe, it seems my Hai Lun Na has grown up; she can now retort me." Saint Louis said teasingly.
Hai Lun Na immediately felt a surge of spirit, and could only temporarily ignore the teasing Saint Louis beside her, turning to Qin Ge, who was still very worried, and said, "Commander, these are left over from the previous battle; they just need a little repair."
Qin Ge still worried, "If it really won't work, you should first go to the Kitchen Goddess to recover, then report back to me."
"Hmm..." Hai Lun Na shook her head, "Commander, you don't need to worry; this kind of injury isn't a big problem."
At this moment, Tiancheng behind Qin Ge smiled and said, "My lord, Hai Lun Na is right; as long as the injury doesn't involve the ship equipment, it can soon be adjusted and repaired, so there's no need to worry too much."
Upon hearing Tiancheng say that as well, Qin Ge relaxed, looked at Hai Lun Na, and rubbed her hair, saying, "You've worked hard."
"It's fine; we've always believed the commander would come to save us. So no matter how many battles occurred, we've persisted, and now we've finally returned to the commander's side—how wonderful!" Hai Lun Na said with a smile.
"Hmm." Qin Ge nodded and then said, "How did you run into Washington and her group? Why did it take so long for you to come back? What exactly happened at the Siren stronghold?"
Hai Lun Na looked at Qin Ge's series of questions and began to explain, "When the commander first entered this sea area, we were still observing the Siren stronghold, at the time communicating with Independence. Then a multitude of carrier aircraft burst out of the thick fog, and the communication was subsequently cut off."
Because this time we came out mainly for detection, most of what we brought were destroyers, and our anti-aircraft firepower could barely resist. So we decided to resist while retreating backward.
At the critical moment, Bumblebee brought people and joined with us, and we also successfully destroyed the incoming carrier aircraft. However, during the withdrawal process, due to the signal interference from the thick fog, we became lost.
After becoming lost, we could never find the location of the command ship, and moreover, in this sea area filled with thick fog, many mass-produced Siren warships lay hidden.
Our supplies were not many, and after several battles Stanley and Smolley had both been heavily damaged and lost combat capability.
Just when it seemed we had little hope left, the Lan shan yu discovered us……
