Long Zhan dared to attack an aircraft carrier with a single destroyer mainly because the geomagnetic storm had destroyed a vast amount of advanced equipment, rendering the carrier’s aircraft unable to function properly.
Right now, an aircraft carrier was basically just a platform stacked with extra cannons. Its firepower was higher than an ordinary vessel’s, but it had no other advantages!
With the escort ships gone, Long Zhan had a much easier time, relentlessly bombarding the aircraft carrier.
The constant explosions caused the Xi’an Base’s aircraft carrier to start spewing black smoke.
"Sir, we can’t hold them off. We should abandon the carrier and escape on the speedboats!" an aide suggested.
Looking at the carrier billowing with thick smoke, Bao Mu could only grit his teeth and say, "Abandon ship!"
Protected by a group of Evolvers, Bao Mu boarded a speedboat and quickly fled into the distance.
"Report, Captain! We have escapees!" the lookout immediately reported, having discovered several speedboats leaving the fleet.
Long Zhan smiled slightly. "As long as they leave the carrier behind, let them run."
At that moment, Bao Mu was sending a message to Mike: "Their destroyer is too powerful. We can’t hold them off. I’m on a speedboat heading for your fleet now."
Seeing this message, Mike raised an eyebrow and sent a message to the other two captains: "Lord Bao Mu has abandoned his carrier and is heading our way in a speedboat. What do you all say?"
"What’s there to say? It’s a golden opportunity. None of you want to miss this, right?"
"Yeah, let’s just use the ship’s cannons to send him off!"
Mike immediately shook his head. "His Evolvers are still somewhat useful, and we can’t waste the speedboats either! After all, resources are scarce. Every little bit counts!"
"In that case, we might need to gather all our Evolvers to ’welcome’ them. God knows how many Evolvers the Xi’an Base has!"
"Then let’s hurry it up!"
The Evolvers from all three carrier fleets gathered at Mike’s position.
At this time, six speedboats approached from the distance.
Just as they approached to within a kilometer of the fleet, a shell landed beside them with a loud BANG, sending water splashing everywhere!
Bao Mu thought, ’This is bad,’ and was about to give the order to break through.
"To all of Bao Mu’s men! If you kill or capture him and bring him over now, you will continue to enjoy the same treatment you had at Xi’an Base—or even better! Our cannons have you completely surrounded. It’s time for you to make a choice!"
Mike’s voice boomed over the loudspeaker.
Bao Mu immediately spoke up. "Don’t listen to his bullshit! If you really kill me, do you think Mike would actually give an important position to someone who has killed their own master?"
WHACK!
Bao Mu felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and then he passed out.
The aide lowered the club in his hand and shrugged. "I just want to live. Mike’s intentions are crystal clear. If we refuse, all of our speedboats will be engulfed in cannon fire. You may be Evolvers, but are you sure you can withstand cannonballs?"
The others were stunned for a moment, then nodded one after another.
The aide immediately connected to Mike with his phone. "I’ve done as you asked and knocked Bao Mu out. Can we come aboard now?"
Mike saw the unconscious Bao Mu on the ground via video feed and smiled slightly. "You can. Now, jump in the water and swim over, one by one!"
"What? You want us to swim over ourselves? Are you kidding me?" the aide yelled.
Mike glanced at him and replied, "Do I look like I’m kidding?"
The aide froze for a second, then immediately said, "But I can’t swim!"
"Then put on a life jacket. Swimming over here yourself is the only way you’re joining us!" Mike had even thought of a good solution for him.
The aide was helpless, but he could only do as Mike demanded.
Everyone on the speedboats jumped into the water one by one and started swimming toward Mike’s fleet.
Seeing their performance, Mike burst out laughing.
Meanwhile, on the other side, all the ships in the Xi’an Base fleet raised white flags. With their commander having fled the battle, the remaining soldiers had no will to fight and surrendered their weapons one after another!
"Old Ji, hurry up and arrange for a team to come over. The Xi’an Base fleet has surrendered. We need people to take them over and guard them!"
Seeing Long Zhan’s message, Wang Jun and Ji Yizhi were somewhat surprised.
Even though they knew the ships modified by Ren Yuanyang were incredibly powerful, they truly hadn’t expected to deal with the Xi’an Base’s fleet so quickly!
"What about the other three aircraft carriers? They’ll definitely come for us, right?" Wang Jun said with a frown.
Long Zhan nodded. "That’s why I’m preparing to meet them head-on and see how I can hold them off! So, Old Ji, you need to hurry!"
"They have three carrier fleets! You can’t hold them off with a single ship!" Ji Yizhi immediately replied. "I’ve already dispatched a team!"
"Let’s give it a shot! We worked so hard to capture a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, we can’t just give it up, can we!" Long Zhan replied with a laugh.
Ji Yizhi nodded slightly and asked, "Has Master woken up yet?"
"Not yet. Qin Haonan and the others are watching over him," Long Zhan said, shaking his head.
As they were communicating, Des returned, piloting the supply ship.
Back at Peach Blossom Base, things were peaceful. Daily work continued without interruption. All anyone knew was that the supply ship had gone out on a mission. As for the specific task or the enemy they faced, most people were completely in the dark.
Seeing the supply ship return, Long Zhan immediately gave his orders: "Our two ships will hold off those three carrier fleets. You’ll stay on the flank and harass them. Prioritize your safety, but when you find a gap in their defense, don’t hesitate—open fire immediately!"
