Qin Feng's eyes blazed with anger, his fists clenched so tight they audibly cracked. If this were on land, he wouldn't be so restrained; he would have struck back fiercely. But now, they were at sea.
What helplessness!
*Whirr, whirr, whirr...*
The warship, under the helmsman's command, rapidly turned and moved away.
*Boom, boom, boom...*
However, at this very moment, hundreds of meters away from the warship in a patch of seawater, a red glow suddenly appeared.
As the red light illuminated, a colossal explosion erupted from the seabed, sounding like a sea lion's roar, its blast filled with terrifying power.
Instantly, the ocean churned like a pot of boiling water, followed by geysers of water shooting into the sky. White, monstrous waves rolled across the sea surface, agitating the entire ocean.
This was the power of the explosion!
Simultaneously, the navy personnel monitoring the sonar shouted, "Captain, our depth charges have successfully intercepted their torpedo!"
Upon hearing this, Gao Yun, who was watching the tumbling waves and churning sea not far away, let out a slight sigh of relief.
Yet, he felt no optimism. While that torpedo had been successfully intercepted, it only bought them a temporary reprieve, not a lasting solution.
Because these individuals had chosen to open fire, it meant they had come with intent. Having fired once, there would surely be a second, a third, and so on...
Gao Yun understood these types too well. His expression immediately turned grim. These persistent individuals, they had actually pursued them all the way here.
With this thought, Gao Yun, as if facing a great enemy, immediately issued an order: "Contact Southeast Naval Command immediately, inform them of our situation, and have them request submarine support."
"Yes!"
Gao Yun looked at the others and continued, "Everyone, immediately enter combat readiness. Keep a constant watch on the underwater situation."
"Understood!"
"Understood..."
As Gao Yun's orders cascaded down, a grim expression settled on everyone's faces aboard the warship.
Naturally, who dared to be careless in the face of the enemy?
After all, this was the sea. If the enemy fired another torpedo and it wasn't intercepted, what would be the consequence? Needless to say, the warship would disintegrate, and no one would escape.
Qin Feng, who had been scanning the seabed, watched the explosion with a serious mien.
Because the explosion just now was no less powerful than artillery fire on land. Furthermore, after firing the torpedo, the individuals underwater had no intention of leaving; instead, they were deliberately closing the distance.
It seemed these scoundrels intended to cut off their escape route.
Damn it, if they weren't shown a bit of what they were made of, they'd never learn.
A cold glint flashed in Qin Feng's eyes. He suddenly asked, "Captain Gao Yun, where is the rocket depth charge launch control room?"
Gao Yun, busy with repelling the external threat, hadn't had much time to pay attention to Qin Feng. Hearing Qin Feng's question, he couldn't help but pause slightly.
Why was this guy asking about the launch control room? Did he intend to take action?
After a moment's thought, he turned to Qin Feng and asked, "Do you understand this, too? Do you understand rocket-propelled depth charges?"
Qin Feng was a member of the Marine Corps. Even amidst his busyness, Gao Yun hadn't forgotten his identity. However, the crucial point was that he was asking for the location of the depth charge launch control room. What did that mean? He probably intended to do something.
Otherwise, why would he ask such a question out of the blue? And given Qin Feng's identity, he didn't seem like someone who would joke around.
Qin Feng looked at Captain Gao Yun and nodded, stating simply, "I've played with it before. I'm somewhat familiar with it. Perhaps I can lend a hand."
Hearing Qin Feng's words, Gao Yun was taken aback.
He could help? Qin Feng was a top-tier soldier in the Marine Corps, his combat prowess terrifyingly strong. Could he also understand naval warfare?
However, regardless, Qin Feng was not the type to joke around at a time like this.
Immediately, Gao Yun unhesitatingly told a soldier beside him, "Xiao Cai, take him to the launch control room."
"Yes!"
With a response, a young non-commissioned officer immediately stepped forward and led Qin Feng to the control room.
In less than a minute, Qin Feng entered the rocket-propelled depth charge launch control room.
As soon as Qin Feng stepped into the control room, he saw several busy figures. Everyone's expression was grim, caught in tense combat preparations.
In front of the launch room, five soldiers were working together to push a cart, moving a depth charge weighing over three hundred pounds towards the launch bay.
Finally, a soldier shouted, "Three, two, one, release!"
As the last word escaped his lips, with a *boom*, the immensely heavy charge was pushed into the launch bay. Then, with another loud bang, the bay door slammed shut forcefully.
A soldier responsible for launching the charges then yelled to the crew, "Charges ready, can fire at any time."
He also made a completion gesture.
The soldier responsible for launching immediately responded, "Understood!"
The next second, he pulled the launch lever, getting ready to fire at any moment.
Seeing this, Qin Feng walked over and said to a Master Sergeant responsible for launching, "Sergeant, let me do it!"
Hearing himself called, the Master Sergeant suddenly looked up at Qin Feng, only to find a stranger's face.
Who was he? What did he just say? He wanted to launch it?
The Master Sergeant couldn't quite grasp what this person was saying. He glanced at Lieutenant Xiao Cai next to him and asked, "Xiao Cai, who is this you brought?"
Xiao Cai immediately explained, "Sergeant Wang, Captain Gao sent him. The Captain said to cooperate with him as much as possible."
*Whoosh!*
Hearing Xiao Cai's words, Sergeant Wang's expression immediately turned serious. Without another word, he stepped away from the control console and said, "Comrade, the task is yours!"
To place such trust in a stranger, Sergeant Wang was entirely doing it on Captain Gao Yun's behalf.
Who was Gao Yun? He had keen judgment, never misjudged people, and always kept his word.
There was no need to doubt him. His word was an order. Sergeant Wang trusted Gao Yun the most, even at this critical juncture.
After speaking, he immediately got up and let the other person take over. Qin Feng glanced around and then walked to the controller, quietly paying attention to the broadcast that might suddenly appear from the bridge.
At the same time, he kept his scanning skills active, constantly scanning and monitoring the underwater situation.
This was the most crucial moment, as they didn't know if the individuals underwater might launch a surprise attack. Otherwise, interception would be extremely difficult, especially underwater.
If those scoundrels fired torpedoes, everyone would be in danger. The only thing they could do now was monitor their actions.
So...
