#443 - Chapter 443: Seeing Old Acquaintances Again
"Report, General Zhong, we've detected a distress signal."
"What's the content?"
"They say they're trapped on Brookner Island on the east side. There are 13 survivors, hoping to be rescued."
"Order the Fifth Fleet to go and take a look, but be careful."
"Yes, sir!"
Brookner.
"Honey, it's been almost a year. Is there any point in doing this anymore?"
"Sabrina, we can't give up hope, can we?"
"Oh, God! I hope these days end soon!"
"They will, someday they will end."
"Report, sir, we've spotted a strange warship in the northwest direction."
At this time, a soldier walked in to report.
"Really? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"No, sir, I'm not mistaken."
"Let's go, let's take a look." The officer was overjoyed and strode out of the room.
From the outside, it looks like a renovated police station.
This police station is located next to Brookner Airport, with no buildings around it, providing a very open view.
The officer went to the roof, took out his binoculars, and observed carefully.
It is indeed a warship.
However, there are no cannons on this warship.
Hmm? Wait a minute!
The officer was experienced and recognized at a glance that this was not a ship from the United States of America.
Closer, closer.
He finally saw clearly that the hull was painted with the flag of the Great Sun Kingdom.
"A ship from the East Island Nation?" The officer was puzzled.
He was isolated here and didn't know that the East Island Nation had been renamed the Great Sun Kingdom.
He also didn't know why a ship from the East Island Nation would appear in the waters of the United States of America.
"Should we ask them for help?" The officer was a little embarrassed.
He didn't know their purpose, nor was he sure if they were friends or foes.
"Sir, is there a problem?" the subordinate asked.
"This is a ship from the East Island Nation, its identity is unknown," the officer frowned and said.
"Sir, what should we do?"
"Hide first, let me think."
After speaking, everyone went back downstairs.
"Honey, I heard a ship is coming?" Sabrina asked excitedly.
"Yes, but this ship is from the East Island Nation."
"From the East Island Nation? Is there a problem?" Sabrina didn't understand.
"There is a problem. It's unusual for a ship from the East Island Nation to appear here. I think there will be danger."
"Honey, I want to know, are the people driving that ship... human?" Sabrina asked.
"Without a doubt." The officer was very sure.
"So, I think surrendering to them is better than staying on the island. You need to know that our food and water won't last much longer," Sabrina reminded.
"Honey, you're absolutely right." The officer was suddenly awakened.
This is not a time of peace, there is no need to consider whose waters this is, or whether the East Island Nation is an invasion.
Surviving is the first truth.
Even being a prisoner is better than being a zombie's dinner.
Having understood this, he strode to the roof, shouting and waving, trying to attract the other party's attention.
This police station was not far from the sea, and it was the tallest building here.
Therefore, the captain of the Fifth Fleet quickly spotted him.
When the patrol ship approached, the officer was dumbfounded.
"This is a ship?"
"It can actually drive directly onto the shore?"
"What the hell is this thing?"
He was a senior officer at Pearl Island Naval Base, and he had the eyesight for this.
This ship, which didn't look like a ship, was definitely high-tech.
The patrol ship was much larger than the police station. The officer looked at it like he was looking at a huge skyscraper.
Soon, a team of soldiers came down.
Without confirming the officer's identity, the soldiers on the ship were fully armed, wearing combat uniforms, and holding weapons, cautiously.
The officer sensibly raised his hands to show that he was not hostile.
"Who are you?" an East Island soldier asked.
But the officer did not understand East Island language.
Soon a robot flew over.
"Who are you?" the robot translated.
"Ah, I am a colonel officer at Pearl Island Naval Base, my name is Weber," the officer replied.
"Did you send the distress signal?"
"That's right, yes. I sent it," the officer nodded.
"There are a dozen people here?"
"Yes, mostly my subordinates and family."
"Call them out."
"Okay, okay, okay! I'll go right away." The officer took a few steps back, pressing his hand down gently, indicating to relax, that he wouldn't do anything sneaky.
Then he slowly went downstairs to call people.
Soon, everyone came to the open space outside the house.
The East Island soldiers stood on both sides, all holding guns.
The captain also walked down at this time.
"Colonel Weber, long time no see, do you remember me?" the captain asked.
"You are... Tannei?" Weber was a little surprised.
"Yes, Colonel Weber, you have a good memory!" Tannei Zhifu said.
"Oh! Great, I didn't expect to see an old acquaintance in this situation!"
