Chapter 614

Guandao's climate is warm all year round, with an average temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, and the temperature rarely rises above 30 degrees Celsius or falls below 24 degrees Celsius.

The year is divided into two seasons; from July to November the weather is relatively warm but also relatively humid, while from December to June the weather is cool and relatively dry.

Therefore, no matter which world one is from, Guandao is an excellent destination for year‑round travel.

At this moment Qin Ge was driving along the island's road; as the sun reached noon the temperature wasn't high, but the sunlight was a bit glaring, so he naturally took a pair of sunglasses from the car and put them on, finally able to see the road ahead without being bothered by the sun.

However, Qin Ge rarely wears sunglasses normally, so when he does, it makes Hai Lun Na beside him quite curious.

Since there was only his car on the island's road, Qin Ge turned his head to look at the curious Hai Lun Na and asked, "What's up? Why are you staring at me?"

"I suddenly noticed that the commander looks very dignified and handsome wearing sunglasses," Hai Lun Na said to Qin Ge.

"Hmph." Qin Ge chuckled lightly, turned his gaze back forward, and said, "Does that mean you usually lack dignity and aren't handsome?"

Hai Lun Na quickly shook her head, "No, the commander is usually handsome too; it's just that I rarely see you wearing sunglasses, so it feels a bit novel."

Qin Ge smiled and said, "When I used to go out to sea, I would sometimes wear them, but I rarely do so in the port area because Hai Lun Na seldom goes out to sea with me, so it's normal for you to feel that way."

"Mm." Hai Lun Na laughed and said to Qin Ge, "Sometimes I feel torn, because I both want to go out to sea and fight alongside the commander, since being with him always makes victory seem right before our eyes."

"But I also hope the commander doesn't go to sea, because it's dangerous there—one slip and… so I feel torn."

Qin Ge smiled and said, "You're overthinking it. Actually, whether I go to sea or not, I'm always fighting alongside you. That said, I've decided to go out on sorties with you more often from now on."

After all, how could one claim to be a qualified commander without experiencing various battles? Besides, the port area is now on the right track, and its affairs are being handled by them, so it's also time to return to the previous state.

"Then when you go out to sea, commander, you must definitely bring me along—my SG Radar will help you scan for all kinds of dangers," Hai Lun Na said.

"Hehe, of course."

The two chatted as they drove, the beach and trees outside continually receding behind them as they drew nearer to the temporary pier.

Finally, the two stopped the car beside a building. Before they could even get out, they saw a figure walk out from the building.

"Huh, Shenfeng?" Qin Ge saw the person quickly get out of the car, walked up and said, "Shenfeng, you're here—I saw the documents this morning and thought it was Jifeng who was here."

"Hehe, hello, commander." Shenfeng smiled and said, "Today the duty roster rotated, so it's my turn to be here."

"I see." Qin Ge laughed and nodded.

"How did the commander suddenly decide to come here?" Shenfeng glanced at the Hai Lun Na who had just gotten out of the car, then said to Qin Ge,

Qin Ge smiled, "As a commander, I ought to get a basic understanding of the situation at my base; coming here already shows I'm somewhat inadequate."

"Haha, Commander, what you say— you're just one person, not only responsible for the base situation but also for commissioned sorties and such; how could you possibly handle everything comprehensively."

"Moreover, isn't the defense of Gangqu now entirely handled by White Eagle's Enterprise? She comes over for inspection every afternoon, so even if the Commander doesn't come, there's no problem here." Shen Feng smiled and said.

"Well, although Enterprise is very responsible, she handles what she does, and I handle what I should do, so there's no conflict." Qin Ge smiled, "Forget it, let's not talk about that. Since Shen Feng, you're on duty today, please show me around this place."

"Mm, okay, Commander." Shen Feng nodded with a smile, then led Qin Ge and Hai Lun Na inside.

Actually, speaking of which, not only Qin Ge has never been here; Hai Lun Na also hasn't come here, because she has been engaged in scientific work in Gangqu all along, so she never had the chance.

So the two closely followed Shen Feng, listening as Shen Feng introduced these places.

"Commander, this building is the duty room, i. e., where we usually stay. The first floor is the office area; although it's an office, basically it's just a place to store some materials."

"The second floor is the resting area, because the coast here is relatively humid, so the resting places are basically located on the second floor."

"The third floor is a lookout, equipped with high-powered telescopes; from outside one can see the activity of warships far out at sea through the lenses, enabling timely defense work." Shen Feng pointed to the building she had just walked out of and introduced it.

"The building next to this is a temporary rest area, equipped with resting places and facilities for dining and entertainment; this is also so that personnel from our Fleet waiting here for missions to depart have a place to rest."

After that—

Shen Feng's introduction was very detailed, and during it Brother Qin couldn't help recalling some sketches Bisimai had given him earlier.

Those sketches are the sketches of these temporary ports; the matcher Shen cannot accept, causing the intelligence grasp of the temporary ports' situation to become more profound.

After touring the temporary port, Qin Ge bade farewell to Shen Feng, continued driving with Hai Lun Na along the Gangqu highway, and headed to the next port.

The two chatted along the way, enjoying the sea breeze; if it weren't for the mission, it would have been quite romantic.

Although they didn't stay long at the other two temporary ports, by the time they left it was already afternoon.

"Sorry, Hai Lun Na—I didn't expect that after looking at the temporary port, the time would already be now; I originally wanted to take you out for a good stroll." After getting in the car, Qin Ge checked the time and apologetically said to Hai Lun Na.

Hai Lun Na shook her head with a smile, "It's fine, Commander. Moreover, I feel today has been a very happy One Day for me—driving out together with the Commander, just like riding a Benz side by side on the road, looking at the surrounding scenery; to me, this is already the best date."

"If you like it, these few days after we finish patrolling Gangqu, I'll drive you out, we'll cruise along this highway, enjoy the breeze, and chat." Qin Ge smiled and said.

"Really?" Hai Lun Na asked, somewhat surprised.

"Of course it's true, but that's all for tomorrow." Qin Ge smiled and said, "There's still time now; that beach we just came to is great—just right, the sun isn't too big now, let's go walk there together."

"Mm."
