The "cold-resistant disaster relief airships" formation sailed over the vast ice field, flying not very high, only about 10 meters above the ground.
On this Pacific Ocean covered in ice and snow, the wind howls, snowflakes fly everywhere, and all is deathly still.
This place seemed to be a forbidden zone for life; they hadn't seen a single living creature along the way.
At the speed of the airship, it would take Chen Yu and his group at least 5 days to reach Merica.
These days, their time on the airship has been monotonous and boring.
Chen Yu and Lin Lele even played mahjong together.
Later, Lin Lele lost so badly that she not only lost all her principal, but also all the money she borrowed from Chen Yu. She also openly defaulted on her debts and lost all her credibility.
The other players stopped asking her to play cards.
Chen Yu originally wanted Zhao Feng, the commander of the airship formation, to take over Lin Lele's position, but considering that Zhao Feng, as the formation commander, had his own mission, it was not appropriate for him to come.
As for the militia fighters under his command, that would be even less appropriate.
Left with no other option, the remaining three of them started playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game). Later, after losing a large amount of Tianyu coins, Niu Ke decided to cut his losses and withdrew from the game.
The remaining two players were also unable to continue, and the game ended there.
Four days had passed since the airship formation departed from the Land of the Sun, and they were only about 1,500 kilometers away from Merika.
"Mr. Chen, radar has detected a trapped aircraft carrier group 50 kilometers ahead. Should we send a drone to conduct reconnaissance?" Zhao Feng, the group's commander, reported to Chen Yu.
Chen Yu's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he said, "Of course we need to. Immediately dispatch drones for reconnaissance and gather as much detailed intelligence as possible. At the same time, notify all militia members to prepare for battle. We cannot stand by and watch someone die, but we must also ensure our own safety."
Based on what he had seen and heard, the heads of various governments and military equipment on Earth had mysteriously disappeared before the natural disaster. Although a lot of weapons and equipment were left behind due to their haste, he was still very surprised that a high-end combat force such as an aircraft carrier battle group could be left behind.
Therefore, he was very interested in this carrier strike group.
Chen Yu secretly wondered if the appearance of this aircraft carrier group might hide some unknown secret, or perhaps it was related to the missing military and national leaders.
The drone quickly took off and flew towards the trapped aircraft carrier group.
Chen Yu, Zhao Feng, and the others stared intently at the screen, eagerly awaiting the drone's reconnaissance results.
Soon, the drone transmitted clear images back.
In the footage, the carrier strike group is trapped in a huge ice sheet, and the surrounding sea surface is almost completely covered by ice and snow. Only a small area around the carrier strike group has melted some of the ice and snow due to the heat generated by the carrier's own power.
"Sir, are there still people up there?" Lin Lele asked suspiciously.
Chen Yu ignored Lin Lele. The aircraft carrier was still in operation; wasn't it obvious whether there were people on board or not?
"Continue to push forward," Chen Yu said in a deep voice.
The reconnaissance drones continued to approach the trapped carrier strike group and began to carry out more detailed reconnaissance missions.
"Sir, blood, there's blood!" Lin Lele suddenly pointed to a corner of the screen and shouted in terror, her voice becoming shrill with tension.
"I know, we all have eyes, can you please stop being so dramatic!" Chen Yu said irritably.
"Hehe, I feel like I'm watching a horror movie, it's a bit scary." Lin Lele shrank her neck and laughed awkwardly.
"Continue advancing, go directly into the main hull!" Chen Yu said in a deep voice.
The drone continued forward, gradually approaching the main hull of the aircraft carrier battle group.
On the screen, various facilities on the aircraft carrier can be clearly seen. Although covered by ice and snow, their original outlines and functions can still be identified.
Upon entering the ship's interior, a scene of utter chaos unfolded. Various equipment and weapons were scattered throughout the passageways, clearly indicating the aftermath of a fierce battle.
Where the drone's camera swept across, traces of blood and battle could be seen from time to time.
"Mr. Chen, it seems the situation on the aircraft carrier is much worse than expected," Zhao Feng said gravely, his gaze fixed on the screen, as if he could feel the oppressive and heavy atmosphere inside the carrier through the cold screen.
“I think Secretary Lin is right; it really does feel like we’re watching a horror movie,” Liu Menghan suddenly interjected.
"Hmm? Xiao Liu, what do you mean by that?" Chen Yu raised an eyebrow. He knew that Liu Menghan would never joke at this time, so she must have discovered something.
Liu Menghan gently bit her lip, her brows furrowed, and pointed to the bloodstains on the screen, saying, "Didn't you notice? These bloodstains seem more like traces left by some kind of ritual or specific behavior, rather than simply caused by a battle."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu frowned, staring intently at the bloodstains on the screen. Thanks to Liu Menghan's reminder, he had indeed noticed something unusual. The distribution of the bloodstains seemed to follow a certain pattern; they were unusually dense in some areas, while almost invisible in others. This distribution pattern was completely different from the bloodstains typically seen in combat.
"You mean, these bloodstains might be part of some kind of ritual?" Zhao Feng noticed this as well and asked in surprise.
Liu Menghan nodded, her expression becoming even more serious: "Yes, and have you noticed that these bloodstains all seem to point in one direction?"
