#689 - Chapter 489 Night Talk
Boom—
Just then, the door of the command room was pushed open, and hurried footsteps came from outside.
A communications officer rushed in, holding the latest battle report in his hand.
"Commander, the latest intelligence has arrived. The enemy has begun to regroup in the rear, and we have located their route—"
Before the communications officer could finish speaking, Jin An quickly took the report, his eyes fixed on the document.
There was no panic, but rather a steady force emanating from him.
He raised his head, looked at the surrounding generals, his eyes as sharp as blades:
"This is their last struggle. If that's the case, we'll give them the final blow."
"Set off!"
At Jin An's command, everyone moved out, heading towards the battlefield without hesitation.
Every action revealed determination, and every gaze sparkled with fearlessness.
No matter how difficult the road ahead, they were ready to face the challenge.
In their hearts, there was no room for retreat.
For this world, they could give everything.
Even if the ocean's waves surged, they would still stand firm as a rock, breaking through all obstacles.
On the warship, every new naval warrior's footsteps were powerful and resounding. For that common ideal, they abandoned all fear and worry.
The sea breeze swept past, and the churning waves seemed to tell of the battle's grandeur and severity, but in their hearts, there was only one voice—
"As long as we have a goal, we will definitely reach it."
No matter how bumpy the road ahead, they would use firm steps to flatten those difficulties and obstacles, advancing towards their goal.
Because they were no longer fighting alone.
On the warship's deck, the night was deep, and the sea breeze was like a knife, stirring up the waves on the sea, slapping against the ship's hull, making a dull sound.
In the distance, scattered lights reflected on the sparkling sea, like countless faint lights swaying in the darkness.
Jin An stood quietly at the bow, letting the cold wind blow against his face, messing up his hair and dispersing some of the depression in his heart.
His gaze was deep, looking into the endless darkness, as if to penetrate the night and see the dawn of the future.
After the meeting, everyone quickly returned to their posts and continued to perform their duties.
He knew that this newborn army was carrying the world's transformation in its own way.
But he also knew that the war was not completely over, the turbulent waves were still sweeping across the entire sea, and the responsibility on his shoulders did not allow him to relax in the slightest.
Just as he was pondering, a familiar sound of footsteps rang out behind him, subtle and gentle.
He didn't turn his head, but he knew who was coming.
A warm sensation suddenly covered his shoulders, and a coat was gently draped over him.
"It's cold at night."
Tian Yue Shi stood beside him and said softly, her tone as gentle as ever, but with a touch of heart-warming concern.
Her movements were without the slightest hesitation, as if such an action had long become a habit.
Jin An lowered his head and looked at the coat draped over his shoulders, the corners of his lips slightly raised in a smile, but his eyes held a hint of gentleness.
He didn't refuse, but took advantage of the situation to tighten the coat, letting the warmth envelop his somewhat cold body.
The two stood quietly, the sea breeze still raging, the night still deep, but there were no extra words between them.
Because the relationship between them did not need to be said, everything was understood.
Tian Yue Shi's gaze also fell on the boundless sea, and she said softly:
"You're thinking again."
Jin An didn't deny it, just nodded lightly.
"Although the battle was won, this world is far from stable."
His voice was low, with a hint of fatigue, but more of thought,
"Pirates, remnants of the World Government, riots everywhere… we have only just embarked on this road."
Tian Yue Shi turned her head, looked at his slightly tired profile, a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes, but she didn't advise him to rest, nor did she say those irrelevant comforting words.
She knew Jin An too well. This man would never stop because of persuasion, his will was more tenacious than the sea.
She just said softly:
"No matter how many storms there are ahead, you are not alone."
Jin An was slightly stunned, then chuckled and turned to look at her.
In the night, her eyes were like the brightest stars in the sky, clear but firm, reflecting his figure.
He didn't answer, just slowly reached out and gently patted her shoulder, the movement natural and smooth, like the tacit understanding between them that needed no words.
The night wind still brushed his face, but he couldn't feel the cold anymore.
Because, on this turbulent sea, he was not alone, and there was always someone willing to accompany him on this journey.
The night was deep, the stars were silent, and the moonlight sprinkled on the sea, the slightly rippling waves like碎银铺洒.
The sea breeze was still biting, carrying the cold of the deep sea, brushing across the warship's deck, stirring up the corners of their clothes and ruffling Jin An's hair.
Tian Yue Shi stood beside him, her trench coat fluttering slightly in the wind, her figure upright, quietly gazing at the boundless sea in front of her.
The two stood side by side, letting the night wind blow freely, but neither of them moved half a step, nor did either of them break the silence.
Their gaze pierced through the darkness and fell on the unknown sea.
The wind and waves churned, the sound of the waves roared, the world's changes continued, and at this moment, they were just standing on the bow of this warship, quietly listening to the sea's breath.
Jin An gently exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling the cold gradually penetrating his bones, but he had no intention of returning to the cabin to rest.
The war had not really ended, the world was still turbulent, and his mind, like this turbulent sea, could not be calmed down.
Tian Yue Shi glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, noticing the contemplation and weariness in his eyes, frowned slightly, but still did not say much.
She understood Jin An, he would not allow himself to stop, let alone easily show his vulnerable side.
So, she just accompanied him there, looking at the endless night, listening to the sound of the waves.
The night gradually deepened, the stars slowly moved westward, until a faint ray of dawn began to appear on the horizon.
Tian Yue Shi took a light breath, her voice soft but with a hint of imperceptible warmth:
"It's almost dawn."
Jin An withdrew his gaze and looked into the distance.
The eastern sky, which was originally as black as ink, was now rendered with a faint glow, as if the darkness had been torn open, and warm light was seeping out bit by bit.
They stood on the deck, still without speaking, but unanimously looked to the east, waiting for the dawn to break.
Finally, the sun slowly rose from the sea, the golden sunlight broke through the darkness, sprinkled on the sea, and coated the waves with a soft glow.
The sea breeze was still cold, but the warmth brought by the light gradually permeated the deck.
Jin An took a deep breath, feeling the light penetrating the cold and falling on his body.
He turned his head to look at Tian Yue Shi, and she also happened to turn her head, and the two looked at each other, their eyes reflecting the same morning light.
Tian Yue Shi smiled softly, her voice calm:
"See, no matter how long the night is, the sun will always rise."
The corners of Jin An's mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.
Yes, no matter how many storms there are ahead, no matter how turbulent the world is, darkness will eventually be dispelled by light, and they will continue to move forward until this sea ushers in true peace.
He gently tightened the coat he was wearing, and said in a low voice:
"Let's go, it's time to start a new day."
Tian Yue Shi nodded, and the two turned around together and walked towards the other side of the deck.
The morning light sprinkled on their backs, reflecting a firm and warm outline.
