Chapter 1013: Tacit Understanding

Just as the Warship sailed into international waters, Captain Li hurried over, fine beads of sweat hanging on his forehead.

The Deputy Minister followed closely behind with a face full of anxiety, his footsteps significantly heavier than usual.

He Yuzhu raised his eyelids slightly, having already guessed the situation in his heart, yet he feigned total ignorance on his face, "Do the two high-ranking leaders have something to find me for?"

Deputy Minister Sun did not rush to answer; he first handed over a cigarette and said in a low, grave voice, "Mr. Zhou, something has happened."

He Yuzhu took the cigarette and nodded, his expression unchanged, "What exactly happened?"

Captain Li pulled over a chair and sat down carelessly, "The M Country fleet has indeed come over. They should have also dispatched a submarine; I reckon it's not far from us now. This bunch of people definitely doesn't have any good intentions this time."

After listening, He Yuzhu narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke in a deep voice, "Since the two leaders have found me, do you want me to sink all these guys into the ocean?"

Captain Li was stunned upon hearing this, then took a deep breath, slowly calming his emotions.

He had heard many rumors about He Yuzhu before and knew clearly that this person was not one to speak without thinking.

Deputy Minister Sun, however, waved his hands repeatedly, his face turning pale, "That won't do. Once the matter blows up, we cannot bear the responsibility."

He Yuzhu laughed instead, "Then what is the use of finding me? Are you asking me to go and cooperate with them?"

Captain Li laughed, "A submarine actively releasing signals to provoke..."

He Yuzhu said with a smile, "The two of you should know I am no peace messenger. If I make a move, it will be a major event."

Hearing these words, Deputy Minister Sun immediately fell into deep thought, his brows tightly knitted together.

Captain Li hurriedly pressed, "Mr. Zhou, if we do as you suggest, can your own safety be guaranteed?"

He Yuzhu looked at him for a few seconds, then suddenly changed the subject, "Actually, the moment I saw you, I felt you were particularly like someone. We haven't seen each other in a long time..."

Captain Li laughed out loud on the spot, "You know my father; he has spoken of you to me many times."

He Yuzhu nodded, "Then this matter will proceed according to my wishes."

Captain Li nodded forcefully, a hint of excitement showing in his eyes.

Deputy Minister Sun did not speak.

He Yuzhu said, waving his hand, "I wasn't in a good mood when I came on this trip anyway, and I was just looking for an excuse to vent. This time, I'll just set off a few firecrackers to let off some steam."

Captain Li and Deputy Minister Sun looked at each other, were silent for a moment, and both nodded.

He Yuzhu looked up at the sky outside the window, "It's about to get dark; you drop a small boat for me..."

One hour later, the sky darkened, and a thick fog rose over the sea surface.

He Yuzhu took a lifeboat and slowly descended behind the Warship.

Once the Warship sailed far away, with a thought, he released the patrol boat he often piloted from his space.

The engine emitted a low roar, the hull lunged forward violently, and it sped at high velocity toward the sea area Captain Li had mentioned.

He Yuzhu closed his eyes and recited in his heart: System, "Perform a Space-Time Shuttle, directly entering the ammunition depot of a nuclear submarine in that sea area."

The system responded immediately, "Host, your requirements are getting higher and higher. Wanting to sneak into the interior of a submarine without precise coordinates—this difficulty is truly too great."

He Yuzhu said crisply and decisively, "Complete this shuttle, and I will pay three tons of gold. Can you do it?"

The system was silent for a moment, "…This matter is indeed very difficult. Fine, I agree."

He Yuzhu's mouth curled slightly, "Then you try it once."

As the words fell, he closed his eyes tightly. When he opened them again, the surroundings were already filled with dense racks of ammunition; he was standing right in the center of that nuclear submarine's ammunition depot.

Before his eyes, torpedoes, anti-ship missiles, and various types of warheads were piled like mountains, their cold, metallic luster emitting a bone-chilling coldness under the dim light.

He Yuzhu had originally intended to use this submarine to strike their own Warship, but upon second thought, this operation was too cumbersome, so he simply switched to a more direct method: blowing them up one by one.

He quickly released several tons of High Explosive, set the timed fuses, then closed his eyes again and instantly shuttled to the ammunition depot of that aircraft carrier, burying the Explosive in the same way.

Afterward, he successively infiltrated the weapon depots of two cruisers and one Supply Ship, all of which were fitted with Timed Bomb without exception.

Because the system's daily limit for Space-Time Shuttle is six times.

With two uses remaining, he picked another Destroyer and similarly placed the Explosive in the most lethal positions.

The numbers on the bomb's timer jumped tick by tick, finally reaching zero.

Boom—!

Beneath the deep sea, the first muffled explosion rang out, the ammunition triggered a chain reaction of secondary explosions, the nuclear submarine's steel twisted and deformed, the cabin walls shattered and cracked, and the wreckage, engulfed in flames, plummeted toward the deep seabed.

"Boom!..." Above the sea surface, a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, two cruisers, one Supply Ship, and that Destroyer rang out with deafening roars one after another.

Because of the explosion of the ammunition depots, every Warship became like an erupting volcano, scorching metal fragments flew in all directions, and the entire sea surface was illuminated as red as blood.

Several steel beasts twisted, snapped, and capsized in the raging fire, their wreckage billowing black smoke as they slowly sank into the ocean.

M Country landing ship captain Major Mark sat slumped in the command chair, his legs shaking like a sieve, the Telescope in his hand nearly slipping from his grasp.

He gazed at the warships being destroyed one after another around him; fragments were floating everywhere on the sea, along with the corpses of personnel who had fallen into the water.

Assistant Joe hurried over and shouted in a low voice, "Major, should we launch a rescue?"

Mark shook his head, his eyes bloodshot, "Neither the Supply Ship nor the cruisers are going to save them, and we cannot act rashly either. In my opinion, everything floating on the sea is corpses; there are no living people left."

Joe said, "But if we see death and do not save, when our superiors investigate, we will be in big trouble."

Mark scolded sternly, "Are you an idiot? It's hard to say if our own ship can survive this ordeal, and you're still thinking about salvaging the dead?"

"Our ship hasn't exploded yet; perhaps the other side won't make a move against us," Joe said with the tone of someone who had survived a disaster.

"Everything you said before was nonsense, but this sentence is actually worth hearing. It looks like they really did let us go. Tell me, could this be God favoring us?" Mark's eyes were dazed as he muttered to himself.

Joe was so anxious he kept rubbing his hands, "Th-then what should we do next?"

Mark gritted his back teeth, his gaze looking toward the sea with a sinister expression, "The ones who did this are the people on that Huaxia Warship." He lifted his chin and pointed vaguely into the distance, "Look, I think I saw him—a tall guy about two meters, black hair, eyes as big as copper bells," Mark said to the void, somewhat neurotically.

Joe looked in the direction he was pointing; the sea was empty, not a single shadow of a person could be seen, and he was almost about to cry, "Major, what are you seeing? Why can't I see anything at all?"
