"Is that the legendary ghost fleet?"
At this moment, at the rear of the Sea Mist Fleet, a tall girl wearing a white dress and a blue ponytail was standing on the bow, staring at the Sea Mist light cruiser that was burning in flames and sinking not far away. Her face was serious, her brows were furrowed, and she looked unwilling.
"Sure enough, it's just as troublesome as the legend says."
As a member of the First Cruise Fleet of the East Ocean of the Sea Fog Fleet, it was not the first time that Kaohsiung had heard of the appearance of a ghost fleet in this sea area. It was rumored that the other party came and went without a trace, and each time it appeared it was accompanied by fierce torpedo and missile bombardments. Originally, Kaohsiung thought that this was just because the sea fog below was too incompetent, but now it seems that the situation is more serious than he imagined.
The enemy had already launched three rounds of attacks on his fleet, but up to now, his radar could not detect where the enemy was. The only thing he could know was that the enemy was definitely in the direction of the torpedo attack, but even so, Kaohsiung could not grasp the enemy's specific location.
What exactly is that?
Kaohsiung didn't think humans could have such technology, but this "ghost fleet" couldn't have appeared out of thin air. Judging from the erosion torpedoes, the opponent should be Haiwu. But... according to Kaohsiung's memory, the only one who betrayed Haiwu and surrendered to humans was I-401, and that was just a submarine... Could it be that humans used some magic modification technology to transform 401?
I don't believe that you can really hide here forever!
Thinking of this, Kaohsiung clenched his fists, stomped his feet hard, and gave an order.
"All warships, anti-aircraft formation, full speed ahead!"
No matter where you hide, I will catch you!
"This isn't going right."
Fang Zheng was also stunned when he saw the retreating sea fog warships suddenly gather in formation and rush towards him at full speed. He did not expect the sea fog to be so reckless... No, based on Fang Zheng's battles these days, the sea fog has always been reckless and not afraid!
This is trouble.
Although the opponent's rush over gave Fang Zheng the opportunity to kite, to be honest, Iona and the vampires alone were not enough in number, and right now... he could only do what he could!
"Iona, stay back while maintaining the best range, vampire, stay hidden."
"Yes, Master."
"I know. So when can I appear on stage?!"
Fang Zheng decisively blocked out the vampire's complaints, and then saw Iona start up again, turning and flying backwards. At the same time, rounds of torpedoes mixed with electronic bombs burst out again, whistling through the sky and shooting towards the target in the distance.
“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!”
Facing the bombs and torpedoes, the Sea Mist Fleet was not to be outdone. They launched fierce firepower to defend themselves, while rushing forward like mad hounds. Even if other warships were hit by electronic bombs and lost their power, or were blown up, it did not change the minds of these Sea Mist warships. Therefore, after just one more round of attacks, the distance between them and Fang Zheng and others had been shortened by nearly half.
“This is really a hassle.”
Looking at the Sea Mist Fleet that was biting him like a hound, Fang Zheng felt a headache. Nymph's electronic intrusion could deal with these guys, but the little angel's hacker domain did not cover such a large area... No, wait... That's right!
"Iona, stop attacking, activate invisibility, and let's make a circle."
"yes."
Although she didn't know what Fang Zheng wanted to do, Iona nodded, then she stopped attacking and quickly entered stealth mode. Soon, the white warship floating in the air disappeared silently into the air with a twist.
"Iona, mark the current search range of the Sea Mist Fleet and Kaohsiung."
"OK."
Hearing Fang Zheng's order, Iona nodded obediently, then stood up and stretched out her hand to gently wave it in the air. Soon, a circle appeared on the screen in front of her, indicating the search range of the Sea Fog Fleet. I don't know if it was because the attack stopped, but the Sea Fog Fleet also quickly stopped, but they did not relax their vigilance. Instead, they gathered into the original formation again and began to search around.
"Nymph, what is the maximum range of your invasion area?"
“This… is about this size.”
“Woo…”
Looking at the range marked by Nymph, Fang Zheng also frowned. The reason was simple. The invasion range marked by Nymph was only half of the current range of the Sea Fog Fleet. In other words, if Iona wanted to invade all the Sea Fog warships at the same time, she would have to fly to the center of the Sea Fog Fleet.
And there... is where the heavy cruiser Kaohsiung is located.
"How long would it take to invade all of these sea fog warships and paralyze them?"
"Well... if it's just one ship, it will only take a few seconds, but with so many sea fog warships together... it will take at least five minutes..."
“Including Kaohsiung?”
"I can't say for sure. The sea fog warships we encountered before had very weak instinctive awareness, but it's hard to say for a warship like Kaohsiung that has a mental model."
As she spoke, Nymph looked at the proud figure on the screen with an embarrassed expression.
"In the best case scenario, if I can make contact with her, I can successfully invade her instantly. But if I use the domain, she might defend herself, but contact..."
"Forget about this."
Fang Zheng also shook his head at Nymph's suggestion. After spending a few days together, he and Nymph had a clear idea of what a mental model was. It was not a projected 3D image, but a body made of nanomaterials by the Sea Mist Battleship. So don't think that Iona or the vampire are just weak little girls. In fact, each of them has the ability to fight a tank with one hand.
It was obviously too dangerous to let Nymph, a little angel who was weak in close combat, fight these mental models in close combat. She might have been slapped to the ends of the earth by Kaohsiung as soon as she put her hand on them.
"Anyway, let's give it a try. Iona, enter the search area...be alert."
Finally, Fang Zheng made a decision.
"Vampire, prepare to follow my orders and act."
"yes."
"Why should I listen to you?"
Although a little unhappy, the vampire nodded and agreed. Then, Iona, who was in stealth mode, turned around again and slowly approached the sea fog fleet.
10KM...5KM...to the search range...Entering the search area!
No response!
Looking at the Sea Mist warships on the screen that had no reaction, Fang Zheng couldn't help but clench his fists. He had previously doubted whether the Purification-class stealth device could block the scanning and searching of the Sea Mist warships. Now it seemed that his idea was correct. These Sea Mist warships were completely unaware that Iona had invaded their territory and continued to be on alert and search.
"Iona, keep going."
As Iona continued to move forward, the heavy cruiser shining with red light appeared in front of Fang Zheng - then, Iona entered Kaohsiung's search range.
"Um?"
At this moment, Fang Zheng saw Kaohsiung raise his head in confusion and look in the direction where he and the others were.
