Chapter 109 Waiting for Key Commands

Oh no! Zhou Yan's heart gave a violent jolt!

Does that mean Wu Yang, Li Meng, and Wang Zeyu... won't they also have to fall in love with me?

Zhou Yan fell into deep thought...

After calming down for a long while, the gloom suppressed the surprise of the system upgrade.

He took out the WL-01 thoughtfully and opened the communication map. Since things had come to this, he might as well find the Japanese people first!

He wanted to give the Japanese people a little shock from the system!

All around him, it remained deathly silent.

But on the East China Sea, there was an unusually bright little dot, blinking on and off...

That wasn't the Sea Dragon!

The Sea Dragon was still struggling along the North Pacific, heading northwest. Judging by the distance, it was already very, very close to the Japanese people...

But the Japanese people were even closer to us. Even for that sailboat outside, if the wind was good, it would only take a week to get from the Japanese people to our country.

"Who... is this?"

Zhou Yan looked at the flickering dot on the East China Sea, feeling somewhat puzzled.

He selected the communication link...

"Beep... woo~ woo~ woo~ woo~"

"Beep... woo~ woo~ woo~ woo~"

The WL-01 continued to force a communication link between the two devices in an extremely domineering manner.

Zhou Yan heard the sound of sonar, carrying a dull, long echo...

He could even hear the faint sound of breathing coming from the cabin, but neither Zhou Yan nor that submarine showed any intention of speaking first.

Zhou Yan worried that this submarine might have been sent by the Japanese people.

Meanwhile, the captain of the submarine, Yuan Hongwei, was covered in cold sweat.

He was hiding four hundred meters underwater, and he could still be caught?

What on earth was happening outside? Had aliens landed? Was technology this advanced?

The communications officer beside Yuan Hongwei sat bolt upright, eyes fixed intently on the radio equipment that suddenly displayed "Communication Connected."

If the submarine were surfaced, that would be one thing... but the key was that the submarine was currently four hundred meters underwater! Even the antenna wasn't deployed!

Who is this!

Zhou Yan had a sudden inspiration. Why not...

Zhou Yan: "Ohayou Gozaimasu!"

Under Yuan Hongwei's signal, the communications officer tearfully pretended to be one of the Japanese people: "Oh... oh... Ohayou?"

Hearing that "Beijing-accented Japanese" from the other side, Zhou Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Just by the sound of it, he knew it was one of his own, and a Beijing local at that...

"I am Zhou Yan, a survivor from the mainland."

Yuan Hongwei and the communications officer wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, not daring to respond for a long time.

Don't just say you're from the mainland; if you claimed to be an alien survivor right now, Yuan Hongwei would believe you.

You have to understand, the submarine was currently four hundred meters underwater! Unless this man named Zhou Yan was also piloting a submarine and was extremely close to him!

Yuan Hongwei stared at the sonar equipment for a long time, but all that was around his submarine was water and fish...

"The Japanese people... are preparing to invade the mainland!"

Yuan Hongwei just listened in silence as Zhou Yan spoke. Of course, he knew what the Japanese people were doing, because he was hiding right underneath the fleet of the Japanese people...

"Is the signal bad? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Zhou Yan tapped the WL-01 in his hand. Does Future Technology need a tap too?

...

"It's too late! Let's start laying mines directly! We can use torpedoes too!"

Yuan Hongwei gritted his teeth, looking at the anxious chief engineer in front of him.

The last time he returned to base, the order he received was to keep the submarine lurking in the waters near America. If the military were truly wiped out while fighting the mutated creatures, his mission was to launch all the nuclear weapons...

He wanted to launch them! He had wanted to launch them for a long time! But he didn't have the key, and the nuclear weapons wouldn't obey him! He couldn't even unlock them...

Later, as communication distance became shorter and shorter, Yuan Hongwei received the last order for this nuclear submarine: MAD - Autonomous Decision!

This was the "Final Order" known to every ship or submarine carrying nuclear weapons. When this order was issued, it meant that the central command had failed.

This order was simple: even if the country perished, the submarine or ship that received the order would launch a retaliatory nuclear strike against the hostile nation.

Everyone's autonomous decisions were different, because the target of the strike might not have participated in the war against their own country. It was very likely just a fear that after their own war machine failed, the target nation would militarily invade their country, which would have lost its ability to resist. But at this critical juncture, suspicion was enough...

Most of America's Warships were consumed at sea. In contrast, the Japanese people, who had been preserving their strength and had not participated in the battlefield against marine mutated creatures, posed a greater threat!

After receiving the order, Yuan Hongwei headed north. He wanted to give the Japanese people some mysterious gifts... But the nuclear weapons on the submarine needed a key to unlock and launch; without the key, he couldn't do anything!

Yuan Hongwei had been waiting in the nearby waters, hoping someone would bring that string of codes so he could send out the gifts in the launch silos... But he didn't wait for the key; instead, he waited for the fleet of the Japanese people...

Yuan Hongwei lowered his head, and after a moment of silence, he issued the order: "Surface! Lay mines!"

At this moment, the surface was absolutely not suitable for the submarine to surface. First, there were too many enemies, and without escort ships, the submarine would be hard-pressed to defend itself! Surfacing now was just suicide!

However, he could let these bastards have a big one before dying! This nuclear submarine of Yuan Hongwei's, although running low on food, had plenty of weapons!

Everyone in the cabin understood what this order from Yuan Hongwei meant. It meant that once they surfaced and the submarine revealed itself to lay mines, they would be exposed!

Yuan Hongwei didn't care that Zhou Yan heard the order on the side. They were already discovered anyway, so hiding was meaningless...

Zhou Yan heard the sound coming from the WL-01; he knew he had been ignored again.

"If you can delay, you can wait a bit. The Sea Dragon is not very far from you. If you can hold out for a week or so, I reckon we can meet up!"

Although he didn't quite understand submarine combat, it was obviously at a disadvantage fighting a large group of Warships all alone.

Yuan Hongwei was stunned for a moment, then he picked his ear, hugged the radio equipment, pressed his ear against it, and asked softly: "You said who is not far from me?"

"The Sea Dragon! I've established a link with them before too!"

Yuan Hongwei quickly suppressed the surging surprise deep in his heart!

"What are your demands?"

The central command had failed, and the situation on the mainland was definitely not optimistic. How did this person still have the heart to help him? Furthermore, where did his equipment come from? What was his purpose? Yuan Hongwei didn't know...

"What demands?" Zhou Yan was also taken aback. His demand just now was to help you and the Sea Dragon establish a link...

But then again... if you and the Sea Dragon killed them all, what would I kill?

But thinking was one thing; he couldn't say that. Because if he said that, there was a very high probability that the other party would find a way to locate him and then drop that "Heaven and Earth Co-existence" on his head...

"Other things can be calculated, but dealing with the Japanese people cannot be calculated!"

Zhou Yan gritted his teeth. Damn it, the place was crawling with mutated creatures; would he be short of ordinary blind boxes? Besides, these Japanese people were nothing more than ordinary blind boxes, the same level as the mutated creatures in the water; he didn't need them!

"I can help you contact the Sea Dragon and establish a link for you!"

Yuan Hongwei blinked, seemingly unable to believe it. What kind of equipment was this person on the other side using? The signal outside was heavily suppressed right now; could he really contact the Sea Dragon? But what if he really could?

"Are you willing to bet?"

Yuan Hongwei gritted his teeth; it seemed he didn't have the capital not to bet...

"Then I'll have to trouble you!"

While speaking, he signaled the chief engineer beside him to stay calm. Even if Zhou Yan gave him a fake key, he wasn't afraid; the nuclear weapons wouldn't activate anyway. If he gave the real one, that would be a tremendous stroke of luck!

"Steer away from the nearby waters and put a safe distance between us and the fleet of the Japanese people! Check the nuclear weapon launch systems! Wait for the key command!"

After Yuan Hongwei issued the order, he stood in front of the communication equipment, quietly waiting for Zhou Yan's good news...
