Chapter 519: The End of the Fleet

After He Yuzhu finished explaining the specific details to Zhao Ying, he set off alone.

Using a single-person Rubber Boat from the Supply Ship, he slid silently into the pitch-black sea.

Approaching the hull of the nearest Destroyer, he activated the Scanning System and discovered several mobile sentry groups on the deck, as well as a 360-degree observation deck on the bridge with two personnel on duty.

He waited patiently for a long time; at the hour of dawn, the soldiers patrolling the deck entered the cabin.

The opportunity had arrived. He Yuzhu quickly threw a grappling hook and climbed onto the deck as nimbly as a spirit monkey.

He first took out the two observation sentries, then eliminated the six fixed guard posts on the ship, and immediately slipped into the interior of the vessel.

He had entered the interior of this type of Warship before; he knew the locations of the engine room, the wheelhouse, and the ammunition depot like the back of his hand.

Walking along the way without encountering anyone, He Yuzhu placed a timed detonation device with 500 kilograms of explosives in the ammunition depot of the main gun bay; he then set a Timed Bomb in the Torpedo bay.

Finally, he also hid a Timed Bomb containing 200 kilograms of High-explosive Explosives in the fire equipment box at the entrance and exit.

A total of 1000 kilograms of High-explosive Explosives would surely "serve" these soldiers well and guarantee they would all be sent to heaven.

Everything was ready, and He Yuzhu quickly withdrew.

Immediately following this, he followed the same procedure and completed the same operations on the second and third Destroyers.

When he climbed down from the third Destroyer, he glanced at his watch: 4:00 AM.

There was not enough time left to install explosives on the two landing ships.

But with the opponent's defenses being so lax, he truly felt unwilling to let them go just like that.

He Yuzhu thought quickly.

A landing ship is essentially a large, hollow ship hull; if underwater demolition were used, perhaps it could also be sunk.

With a flash of thought, he decided to use the final hour to take a gamble.

He Yuzhu quickly entered the "Time Cabin" within his space.

The flow of time here was slow, buying him a precious window of operation.

He performed rigorous waterproofing on the High-explosive Explosives, loaded them into timed detonation devices, and added multiple strong magnets to the exterior. After preparing two giant explosive packages, he quickly exited the space.

He changed into the diving equipment from his space and slid silently into the icy seawater.

Through Scanning, He Yuzhu found the most suitable positions to place the explosives.

One explosive package weighed a full four hundred kilograms; if not for the help of his space, He Yuzhu would not have been able to move it at all. Watching the explosive package adhere to the ship's keel, he tugged at it hard and found it did not budge, only then revealing a smile.

Checking his watch, it was already 4:33 AM; he had to speed up.

He swam quickly toward the second landing ship, and just then, a First Team of patrol soldiers walked over, continuously shining lights toward the hull of the landing ship.

Had he been discovered? He Yuzhu could not help but feel uneasy.

He checked his watch again; there were only ten minutes left until the explosion.

He Yuzhu could wait no longer and quickly dived deep, slowly approaching the landing ship.

Those people shone their lights for a while and then left; He Yuzhu surfaced quickly and accelerated his movements.

By the time He Yuzhu returned to the Supply Ship where Zhao Ying was, there was less than a minute left until the 5:00 AM explosion.

At this time, Zhao Ying had already led over ninety armed employees to wait in the outermost cabin.

He Yuzhu stared at the watch face; the second hand seemed to move exceptionally slowly.

Zhao Ying was losing her composure; she took a deep breath and asked, "Zhuzi, how many can we sink this time?"

He Yuzhu held up five fingers: "There is still one frigate I didn't have time to rig with explosives; there are over 170 people on it, which is the one we need to focus on dealing with. However, I placed 500 kilograms of explosives by the pier; when they come out, I will trigger them with the Remote Control Device."

As 5:00 AM approached, He Yuzhu suddenly raised his hands to cover his ears.

"Boom—!"

A deafening, earth-shattering roar exploded, and the pier was instantly engulfed in sky-high flames, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Zhao Ying looked at He Yuzhu in disbelief, her fingers digging fiercely into his arm.

"Boom—!!"

The secondary explosions began.

Torpedoes, artillery shells, and depth charges exploded one after another.

The soldiers on the frigate that hadn't been rigged with explosives fled desperately, gathering at the edge of the pier and staring blankly at the hellish scene before them.

"You do it!" He Yuzhu handed the Remote Control Device to Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying gritted her teeth and cursed: "Bastards, trying to freeload off my property? I'll send you all to hell!"

She pressed the button hard.

"Boom!!"

Another loud bang, and of those hundred-plus people, almost no one survived.

He Yuzhu said, "Sister Ying, you can release the ordinary employees."

Zhao Ying asked, "Those Bodyguards, do you still need to use them?"

"I want to take back our warehouse."

"Are you coming with us?"

He Yuzhu shook his head.

"I will lead them to gather at the company headquarters," Zhao Ying proposed.

"Good, we will meet there," He Yuzhu agreed.

After Zhao Ying finished speaking, she hugged He Yuzhu tightly, then turned and led her people away.

He Yuzhu noticed that these people had actually all changed into military uniforms—it seemed Zhao Ying had long been planning to seize the assets.

He first collected all the food and ammunition on the Supply Ship into his space, then set a timed device.

After finishing, he immediately rushed toward that frigate.

He walked into the cabin and found there were still a few soldiers who hadn't managed to escape.

They mistakenly thought He Yuzhu was a rescue worker and crowded around to ask, "Brother, what should we do?"

He Yuzhu did not waste words and directly took them into his space.

He quickly finished collecting the ammunition on the ship, placed the Timed Bomb, and immediately withdrew from the port.

Just as He Yuzhu walked out of the pier, local Patrol Police ran over to stop him, but they were all beaten away by his fists.

These Patrol Police then stopped pursuing, assuming he had been traumatized and gone mad.

"Boom! Boom!" Two explosions rang out once again.

The corners of He Yuzhu's mouth curled up slightly; it seemed this fleet had been completely wiped out. This was the price of greed.

Arriving at a deserted spot, he took a large truck out from his space.

As he neared the office building, he ran into Zhao Ying and her group, so he immediately stopped the car and signaled for everyone to get on.

Zhao Ying asked, "Did you blow up the remaining ships too?"

He Yuzhu nodded and asked in return, "Sister Ying, I think we should go to the warehouse with the highest value first."

Zhao Ying pondered for a moment: "Understood, let's go to the Central pier. We have a newly built storage area there, holding rubber, production lines, precision instruments, spare parts..."

"Good, let's go there." He Yuzhu was secretly delighted. After blowing up the entire fleet this time, the situation could no longer be resolved peacefully; it would be better to simply hollow out the Eastern Shipping Company, let it fall into massive debt until it went bankrupt and was auctioned off, and finally have Jin Hai assist in establishing a new company.

He quickly turned the car around and drove toward Central.

On the way, He Yuzhu asked in a low voice, "Sister Ying, does Eastern Shipping have any bank loans?"

"Yes, and quite a lot. Over 20 million US dollars from Huaqi Bank, and Standard Chartered and HSBC have them too. We took out loans based on 65% of the ships' appraised value."

"That's great. We'll empty the warehouse and claim that the M Country soldiers stole and sold the goods, then let the shipping company file for bankruptcy."

Zhao Ying was silent for a long time: "But this is my hard work of many years..."
