"Captain, is that a fishing boat heading towards us?"
On the lighthouse watch post, a recruit who had just joined the army looked at the distant sea with a strange expression.
Hearing his words, another dark-skinned veteran first showed disbelief:
"How is that possible? What kind of fishing boat dares to come this way?"
"This is our outpost, and next to it is a torpedo zone. Further on is a missile buoy area. It's not like some locals are coming to give us fish, right?"
However, just as he finished speaking, his peripheral vision swept across the distant sea.
When he saw the ship whose style was clearly different from a Dragon Country fishing boat, his CPU immediately started to spin rapidly.
But in the few seconds he was thinking, the fishing boat suddenly got closer.
The speed was beyond their imagination.
"Damn, Captain, how can this fishing boat's speed be comparable to our warship's speed?"
"This must be nuclear-powered, right?"
"It's charging at us, should we open fire?"
Before the two of them could figure out what was happening, the alarm on the island reef suddenly sounded.
Soon, fully armed Dragon Country soldiers rushed out.
At the same time, on the other side, on the whaling ship, the faces of the "little Japs" instantly turned sallow when they saw the island reef with the Dragon Country flag fluttering in the distance.
Before coming to this sea area, they had wondered where the mysterious power in the sea would eventually take them.
But they never expected to end up here.
If they had known it would turn out like this, they might as well have jumped into the sea.
But it was too late to regret it.
Because as their whaling ship entered this sea area, they found that the surrounding waters were filled with buoys bearing Dragon Country characters.
Although they couldn't fully recognize what was written on them, they could still recognize the big word "danger."
They guessed what was beneath the sea without even thinking.
Realizing this, they simply gave up struggling and watched their ship crash towards the island reef.
And just as the whaling ship was less than five hundred meters from the island reef, the tightly taut chain suddenly loosened.
The mysterious force that had been pulling the whaling ship vanished without a trace.
But before the "little Japs" on the whaling ship could feel excited, the remaining inertia carried their ship straight towards the island reef.
In less than half a minute, this whaling ship from Neon crashed headlong into the island reef guarded by Dragon Country soldiers.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the bow of the ship rammed onto the island reef.
Since the people on board had anticipated this, they did not suffer serious injuries.
But as they were preparing to get up, numerous dark muzzles were already pressed against their foreheads.
"Don't move!"
"Put your hands on your heads."
"Crouch down!"
...
For a time, all sorts of voices came from above their heads.
The "little Japs" were so scared that they trembled all over.
One of them seemed to understand some Dragon Country language and stammered, "We're a fishing boat, we got lost and ended up here, do you believe us?"
Hearing his words, the Dragon Country soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment.
After about ten seconds, a young officer in the lead showed a smile.
"Do you think we'd believe that?"
"We have reason to suspect that you intentionally drove your ship to attack our Dragon Country territory."
"Intentionally creating a terrorist attack to damage relations between the two countries."
"We will now detain you according to the law."
"Arrest them all!"
At the officer's command, the soldiers who had been itching to act stepped forward.
Occasionally, a soldier's limb would accidentally touch these people.
By the time these "little Japs" were tied up, their entire bodies ached, except for their faces.
"Alright, today our outpost has successfully solved an international terrorist crime."
"I will report to the war zone later. This will surely earn us a collective second-class merit. Everyone can wait for commendations from the higher-ups."
After speaking, the leading officer could no longer suppress his inner joy and strode towards the camp.
On the way to the camp, he had already figured out how to request commendations for his team.
After the officer left, the soldiers also showed expressions of surprise and delight.
Especially the new recruits whose faces were not yet tanned.
"Damn, I'm only on my second day on the island, and I've already gotten a second-class merit?"
"Really? Is there such good luck?"
"It shouldn't be fake."
"We've taken down some 'little devils' today. I think I can brag about this for a lifetime."
"Did we take them down? No."
"Right, right, we didn't. We just bumped into them accidentally."
"Thanks to the netizen for sending us a fishing boat."
"What fishing boat? This is a new type of warship disguised as a fishing boat for a suicide attack!"
"Captain, you're still the best."
...
As the Dragon Country soldiers were in a frenzy of excitement, Li You, who was lurking in the sea not far away, also poked his head out.
Watching the scene on the island reef, Yang Lin, who saw this through the shared perspective, couldn't help but show a look of satisfaction.
Although before, he had also wanted Li You and Li Yongxin to sink the whaling ship, after careful consideration, he gave up the idea.
Firstly, the whaling ship was too large, and it was somewhat unrealistic for Li You and the other weasel sharks to sink it alone.
Secondly, he considered that it would be too easy for them if they were simply dealt with without a trace.
After all, they not only attempted to hunt humpback whales but also invaded Dragon Country's territorial waters.
Therefore, the best course of action was to bring them here.
He believed that even if the people on the ship could eventually return to Neon, Neon would have to pay a certain price.
After all, they had occasionally detained Dragon Country fishing boats before.
Now it was their turn, so how could he let them off so easily?
"By the way, I wonder how that injured little humpback whale is doing now."
After dealing with the whaling ship matter, Yang Lin suddenly remembered the humpback whale that Li You and the others had rescued earlier.
At that time, the situation was sudden. To avoid being forcibly dragged ashore by the ship's lifting equipment, and to avoid it suffering secondary injuries, Yang Lin had to have Li You forcibly tear the muscles around the harpoon to remove the head.
Even so, it was still a very bad thing for that little humpback whale.
Thinking of this, Yang Lin immediately had Li You track the scent of blood.
Soon, Li You located the three humpback whales.
