Chapter 920

The bell on the carriage kept swaying; Qin Ge, who had originally planned to judge his location by hearing, could not make any judgment at all, and he also didn't know whether the carriage's speed was slow or fast.

Whenever he wanted to reach up and pull off the silk blindfold covering his eyes, he found himself holding back. Although even if he did that, they wouldn't say anything, Qin Ge still wanted to see what surprise they had prepared for him.

He didn't know how long they had gone when the bell finally stopped; everything around seemed quiet. All he could hear was the wind by his ears and, it seemed, the distant sound of waves.

Just as Qin Ge was about to reach up and pull off the blindfold to check the situation, Guanghui grabbed his hand, saying, "Commander, we're already at the final moment; if you take it off now, it would be meaningless."

Qin Ge couldn't help but let out a wry smile. "All right, but why is it so quiet here?"

Guanghui smiled. "Quiet? I think it's very lively. Perhaps, for you, Commander, this is just the calm before the storm."

"Huh?" Qin Ge, not quite understanding, asked, "What does 'calm before the storm' mean?"

Immediately, he heard someone open the carriage door. Guanghui chuckled lightly, took Qin Ge's arm, and said, "Commander, come, I'll help you down."

"Oh." Although he was doubtful, Qin Ge still got out of the carriage, and when his foot stepped onto solid ground, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"Can I take it off now?" Qin Ge asked.

Guanghui gave a light laugh, lowered Qin Ge's arm, and said, "Not yet, Commander; don't be impatient, just wait a moment."

"Oh."

Qin Ge nodded and stood still; half a minute passed, then a minute, and he no longer heard Guanghui's voice. Feeling a little uneasy in the darkness, he spoke up, "Is it ready now?"

But no one answered. Sensing something was off, Qin Ge was about to reach up and pull off the blindfold when he felt a gentle hand grab him.

"Commander, don't rush."

A familiar voice sounded, but Qin Ge realized it was no longer Guanghui's voice he had heard before; it was also the voice of the Vanguard.

"Wuzang?!" Qin Ge exclaimed, startled. "Where's Guanghui? And why won't you let me take it off yet?"

"Because we are fulfilling your wish, Commander." Wuzang said softly.

"Yes, Commander, your wish is also ours."

"Enterprise?!" Qin Ge recognized the voice; after all, they had been together for many years, and he was very familiar with it.

"Hehe, now isn't the time to be surprised, Commander. Come with me, take it slow."

A slender hand took Qin Ge's hand, soft and warm.

While letting that hand lead him, Qin Ge, a bit surprised, said, "Nengdai?!"

"And me too."

At that moment, his other hand was taken; although it had a hint of chill, it was still incredibly comfortable.

"Banrenma?!"

After walking just a few steps forward, both hands suddenly let go of him. Qin Ge startled, then stopped in place and asked, "Is it ready now?"

"Hehe, all right. Commander, take off your blindfold."

A familiar voice sounded again, and Qin Ge knew it was Guanghui's.

He yanked off the blindfold in one motion; a bright light flashed into his opened eyes, and the scene that appeared caused his hand, which had been about to lower the blindfold, to freeze mid‑air.

Because he saw that before him stood neat rows of shipgirls, all looking at him; they had taken their positions, and in the center a seat had been left empty.

Beside the empty seat stood several current Faction Leaders: Yixian, Zhang Men, Enterprise, Bisimai, Yinlishabai, Soviet Russia, Lisailiu, Weineituo, and Flying Dragon meta. Beside them were several fleet legends of the factions.

Wuzang, Xinong, Xin ze xi, Vanguard, Emperor Frederick, Hu Teng, Kalong Shitada, Bulei site.

Of course there are also several top plans, Riverside, Marco Polo and a few people.

After that came a group of destroyers; although they looked uniform in height, Qin Ge could clearly see that under the feet of Muyue and a few others, there were still high wooden platforms.

Then came the light cruisers, the heavy cruisers, and finally the aircraft carriers and battleships.

Several hundred people stood there, the distance between them very tight; obviously this stance made Qin Ge think of something—that is, a photograph!

"Commander, happy New Year's Eve!"

No one knew who shouted that line; next, the sound of blessings echoed across the horizon. But Qin Ge knew that the first sentence was shouted by Fushun—he could tell.

"You……" Qin Ge's lips trembled; for a moment he wanted to say something, but it got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't get it out.

"Commander, is this surprise okay?" At this moment, Guanghui smiled and stood up, saying.

"Not just okay……it's simply unbelievable." Qin Ge's voice trembled a bit.

"Then let's sit down; before the New Year's Eve begins, let's take a big group photo of the port area." Guanghui pulled Qin Ge over to the seat, then had him sit down.

Although he had sat down, Qin Ge still couldn't help turning his head to look behind and to the side.

"Are all the port area shipgirls here?" Qin Ge asked.

"Yes, even Yujin's people, um……and the Purifiers as well as Mingshi have come over." Guanghui said rather helplessly.

Qin Ge's eyelid twitched; Mingshi's participation could still be explained, but why did the Purifiers come running over?

But now is obviously not the time to say this; after all, they've come, so we can't not let them participate—anyway, having one more or one less doesn't matter.

"Forget it, let's leave it like this—but how did you guys think of this today? Moreover, what's going on with the surroundings? Is this inside our port area? Or have we already left the port area?" Qin Ge had many questions he wanted to ask, after all, these things were indeed somewhat unfamiliar to him.

"Hehe, although Commander has many questions to ask, but now is obviously not the time to talk about these, right? Let's just finish this group photo." Guanghui beside him laughed.

"Um……" Qin Ge felt a bit helpless.

Just then, a figure darted out from behind the camera in front: "Commander, and everyone, please all look at the camera, don't stare elsewhere. Also, everyone adjust your pose—this is a very good memorial!"

"Gridley?" Qin Ge asked in surprise, looking at that figure.

"Commander, relax your expression a bit, make it more natural; best to smile." Gridley shouted loudly.

"Oh." Qin Ge dropped his surprised expression, immediately sat up straight, his eyes emitting a sharp light as he looked forward.

"Too formal, loosen up." Gridley rolled his eyes and said.

"All right." Qin Ge gave a wry smile, though his expression also softened a bit.

"Good, just like that, everyone hold still." Gridley said, then pressed a button on the camera.

Immediately afterward, the whole person sprinted over and finally stood at the very edge of the destroyer.

"Everyone together shout 'eggplant'!"

"Eggplant!"

Qin Ge only felt that the camera before his eyes suddenly flashed a white light, the photo was taken.
