Chapter 281: The disappeared individual
Seeing this scene, the other four controllers also had their faces change dramatically.
Shortly after, they quickly reacted and ordered to find the enemy and completely annihilate them. This time, the battleship that was attacked was the battleship of the Power flagship.
"So, which battleship will be the next target of the attack?"
Regardless of who the victim is, the consequences are not what they desire.
No one can bear it.
After all, Burke is the overall commander of the fleet.
In the face of this situation, he still needed to make some statements.
After all, such a thing was completely beyond their expectations at first.
"There’s no need for that. "Rest assured, "I can guarantee that your position in the United Fleet will not change. The Noah’s Ark of the Power flagship will be protected by our United Fleet in the future!"
"Similarly, we will soon find the murderer and dismember them!"
After saying this, he didn’t say much more. He focused his main attention on the mysterious enemy. However, soon, he received an infuriating message.
Report to the supreme commander, the enemy that attacked the Power flagship is, in fact, the mysterious warship we were tracking before, which later mysteriously disappeared!
Just now, the enemy suddenly appeared on our radar, and the next moment, the battleship of the Power flagship was attacked!
"Now, the mysterious warship has disappeared again, and we can’t find its trace!"
Upon hearing this news, the faces of all the controllers present turned extremely grim.
Extremely angry.
"Yet, they felt powerless."
Unable to respond effectively!
"Damn it! What kind of warship is this that can actually block radar detection?"
"Who is it? Why are they targeting us?"
The controllers were extremely angry. Especially the Power flagship controller.
At this moment, Burke issued an order: "send people on small boats, disperse outward with each warship as the center, and use human eyes as a substitute for radar."
"I don’t believe it, this warship can block radar detection, can it also blind human eyes?"
In addition, two helicopters on our destroyer are also sent out. I don’t believe we can’t find that warship!
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
His orders were unquestioned.
Soon, the orders were transmitted down the chain. Not long after, a large number of small boats set off. Including the two armed helicopters on the destroyer, they took to the sky.
Monitor the nearby waters and search for that mysterious warship. According to the observations on the radar before, in fact, the mysterious warship was not too far from them.
They could completely send people to search. However, soon, they discovered something strange. Because, in that stretch of water, they turned it upside down but couldn’t find the target.
The radar showed no discoveries, and the survivors also found nothing.
It was as if the mysterious warship had disappeared without a trace!
"What’s going on? Where is that warship? We can’t find it? This doesn’t make sense!"
"The mysterious warship appeared in this nearby waters not long ago. Logically, it shouldn’t have been able to go far. But the result is that we didn’t find any traces at all!"
"Blocking radar detection is one thing, but even with so many of us searching personally, we found nothing! Could there be a warship that can deceive our eyes?"
Everyone in the United Fleet was incredulous. Deceive their eyes? How is that possible?
Such a warship couldn’t possibly exist! That’s too outrageous!
Too inexplicable!
"Impossible! You useless bunch! Intensify the search efforts and make sure to locate that warship! Otherwise, I will not spare you!"
Receiving the report from the subordinates, Burke slammed the table and shouted. The subordinates dared not oppose.
They could only order more soldiers to mobilize and thoroughly search the nearby waters.
At the same time, the two helicopters were also dispatched to farther seas. At this moment. Invincible warship.
Waldo watched the movements of the fleet’s warships on the radar.
At the same time, he also noticed that the fleet had dispatched a large number of soldiers to locate them. He sneered instantly.
"If I were an ordinary stealth warship, perhaps they might actually find me before I escape."
Facing the siege of four warships, even though my warship is advanced and powerful, it’s still very dangerous! After all, not all weapon systems of the current invincible warship can be used.
Now, besides the ship’s guns and torpedo launch systems. Because of the lack of missiles, the missile system cannot be used.
So, Waldo was being cautious. Otherwise, he could have unleashed all firepower and sunk these ships. Then, Waldo thought and said, "The enemy has sent out so many people, perfect, I can kill or capture these dispersed soldiers, right?"
With this thought, a plan gradually formed in his mind.
Soon, the combat robots he created gathered and quietly left the invincible warship. Every five combat robots formed a combat group.
As time passed, the joint fleet was on the verge of despair.
No matter how much effort they exerted, no matter how far they expanded their search, they still could not find the elusive warship.
Burke sighed helplessly.
Though he was unwilling, he had to speak up.
"Well, I think it’s impossible for us to find the mysterious warship. There’s no need to waste any more energy. I don’t know why, but I have a feeling of unease, as if something is about to happen. Everyone, return!"
"I suspect that this mysterious warship may be related to Waldo. Even though Waldo is dead, he should have had friends. The appearance of the mysterious warship is most likely to prevent us from reaching the Dawn. So, why don’t we just leave and not engage the Dawn?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other four leaders exchanged glances. Naturally, they were reluctant to withdraw. After all, they were not far from the Dawn.
However, they were facing a mysterious warship that appeared and disappeared without a trace, and they were at a disadvantage. Insisting on going forward could lead to more unexpected incidents, like the devastating example of the battleship "Power."
So, no one was willing to take the risk.
"Alright, let’s withdraw! It’s a bit of a shame, but there’s no other choice."
"Unfortunately, we can’t find the mysterious warship. The threat is too great. If it surprises us at some point, our losses would be significant."
"Yeah, we’ve already lost one warship, and our strength has been greatly reduced. Continuing like this is not cost-effective."
People spoke one after another. From their tones, it was clear that everyone present was very reluctant, but they had no choice. They were quite helpless.
Soon after, the joint fleet issued the order to withdraw. The soldiers who were sent out to search were recalled.
"Wait, why do I feel like there are fewer people?" At this moment, Burke’s trusted subordinate and the captain of the destroyer, Avery, noticed that when counting the returning soldiers, it seemed like there were fewer than expected.
"Is everyone here?"
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
"Ninety-three!"
"What? Only ninety-three have returned?" Avery raised an eyebrow, realizing that something was seriously amiss!
"You know, they sent a total of one hundred and thirty soldiers out! Yet, only ninety-three have returned? Where are the others? In an instant, Avery felt as if he had fallen into an icy abyss! What about the others? Your comrades have disappeared in the vast ocean, and you didn’t notice anything unusual?" Avery seemed to envision Burke’s furious reaction.
The soldiers looked at each other. If Avery hadn’t mentioned it, they wouldn’t have noticed anything amiss. Someone cautiously said, "Report, the search area is vast, so we spread out widely, making it hard to see each other. We didn’t notice anything unusual."
Upon hearing this, Avery’s face turned even grimmer. How did the others go missing?
Were they attacked by sea monsters? Did they drown? Or were they assassinated by the people from the mysterious warship? The first two reasons didn’t make much sense. Only the last one was the most reasonable and likely!
Avery took a deep breath. In the end, he nervously reported this news.
As expected, just as he had anticipated, the five leaders were instantly furious! Each of them looked ferocious, as if they wanted to devour someone!
"Damn it!" Burke’s eyes were bloodshot. At this moment, he was in extreme pain and anger. "Well, well! Waldo, oh Waldo, it seems I underestimated you. I never thought you had such a trump card!"
"But wait, one day, I’ll sink your Dawn, mark my words! Mysterious warship, you wait too! One day, I’ll destroy you and hang all your crew members!" Burke gritted his teeth.
