"Damn it, what are they trying to do if they don't come ashore? You can see there's no one on the shore at a glance, why don't they come over?"
Lu Yuan shook his head with a wry smile: "Who knows? Maybe they've found some clues. We should all stay hidden and notify everyone not to move. Otherwise, if we are exposed, they might not come ashore again."
Qiao Lin understood that the Blue Star people must have discovered something, otherwise they wouldn't have anchored their ships so far away.
So he immediately ordered everyone not to go in or out at will, and to hide in the cave and lie down to avoid being discovered.
Meanwhile, the two patrol ships were probing the area ahead of them on the sea, their speed much slower than before.
The two patrol vessels appeared to be positioned on the sea surface near the search area, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, to prevent any accidents.
Helpless, Lu Yuan and the others hid in that suffocatingly hot place and waited quietly.
Time passed by, and some of the team members had already fainted from the intense heat.
Their entourage didn't carry any medicine, and seeing that the man was about to faint, they could only pat his cheeks hard in an attempt to wake him up.
As more and more people fell, Lu Yuan frowned: "But we can't let this continue. If we do, our people will be almost all dead before we even start fighting."
Qiao Lin gritted his teeth in anger: "Yeah, those damn bastards, how did they suddenly figure things out? Is there a problem within our ranks, or have they discovered us?"
Lu Yuan stared intently at the distant sea and shook his head: "No, I doubt they've discovered us. If they had, what do you think the Blue Star people would do? Would they send two warships to patrol the area and capture us alive? Or would they just give us a heavy artillery barrage?"
After thinking for a moment, Qiao Lin finally sighed and said, "Sigh, I guess the latter is more likely. The Blue Star people don't like to say a word more; they prefer to get things done directly!"
"That's right, so there's only one possibility: they're worried about rocks or something else ahead, and they're waiting. Let's wait and see how they handle it!"
Qiao Lin glanced at the time and could only nod in agreement: "Hopefully they can hurry. We don't have much time left. We have to get this done before sunset, otherwise we might not be able to go back!"
So everyone waited quietly, watching as the patrol ship continued to scan the area bit by bit ahead.
They slowed down more and more, and finally stopped when they were still a few hundred meters from the sea.
Even their patrol ships couldn't get in, obviously because they encountered a lot of reefs or something similar, making it impossible for them to hear anything.
The people of Earth were in a very difficult situation. Since their goods could not be transported ashore, their ships could not sail away.
Even more distressed than them were Qiao Lin and her group. They had been preparing for this for so long, and now they were about to succeed, but the incident at Jiaoshi prevented their ship from moving forward, which made everyone feel extremely upset.
"Damn it, what do we do now? We can't get close to their ships!"
Qiao Lin stomped his feet in anger, but there was nothing he could do.
Lu Yuan remained crouched in one spot, still using his binoculars to observe the distant ships back and forth. Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind.
"If they don't come, then we'll sneak in ourselves, how about that? Does anyone know anything about the security facilities on their ships? Does anyone know anything about the security facilities and alarm systems on the supply ships?"
Lu Yuan's gaze swept over the crowd, and those around him shook their heads.
"Well, what I mean is, since they're unwilling to come, we should go over there. Rather than wasting time waiting here, we might as well take the initiative."
"As long as we don't trigger their alarms, we can infiltrate their ship, take control, and then bring their stuff back, right?"
After Qiao finished reading Lu Yuan's words, he felt a surge of excitement: "Yes, yes, yes, does anyone know? Tell me quickly!"
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing glasses behind them paused for a moment and said, "I heard about the models of their ships when I was in prison, so I might know something about them!"
So Qiao Lin quickly called the other party over, and with the other party's explanation, everyone finally understood the equipment of the two types of ships in the distance.
The supply ship is their most important asset, and it is covered with alarm devices, sensors, and various defensive measures.
It's practically impossible for humans to get there directly.
No matter how many people there are, it's impossible for them to get through, since the supply ship carries all sorts of weapons and equipment.
Therefore, the only ships they can infiltrate are patrol ships. Since patrol ships are inherently offensive warships, they are not very reliable at protecting the supply ships. They mainly participate in offense, not defense, and are different types of ships from supply ships.
Therefore, their greatest hope is to capture the patrol ship. However, the patrol ship has a major secret: firing shots from inside will trigger the ship's alarm due to the smell of gunpowder and the gunfire.
After everyone had seen these things, they all fell silent.
Lu Yuan sighed and turned to look at Qiao Lin: "Perhaps our chance lies here. Give the order. We'll take men and infiltrate the patrol ships, take control of one, and then launch a preemptive strike. Ideally, we should destroy their supply ship to prevent them from escaping!"
After thinking for a long time, Qiao Lin nodded vigorously: "Let's do it, otherwise this trip will have been in vain. Tell everyone to get ready, split into two groups, one group stays on the shore to provide support, and the other group will be equipped with bows and arrows!"
So everyone got ready. Lu Yuan didn't want to stay on the shore; he preferred to participate in some adventurous activities. So he volunteered to go on the ship to participate in the mission of seizing the patrol ship, while Qiao Lin took over the task of staying on the shore. The two communicated with each other via walkie-talkie.
Soon, the group carefully crawled through the tunnel on the beach.
The tunnel in the beach was just dug out by them. The soil in the sand was still very loose, so it was easy to dig a tunnel.
Suddenly, Lu Yuan felt that the sand in front of him was very hot. He immediately adjusted his position and started digging in another place. Only after he felt that the temperature of the sand had changed did he finally feel relieved and say something to the person behind him.
"nailed it!"
