131: Chapter 131 People's hearts are hidden, the niece at the port

[Dragon Soul returns to the Pacific Ocean to continue escorting ocean-going cargo ships.]

[Dragon God continues to stay in the waters near the Antarctic Circle, cruising around the Antarctic Continent.]

[Sister Li escorts four aircraft carriers plus the Clean and Sanitary back home for refitting.]

These were the orders issued by Commander Tang Ze of the Naval Department Base to the three aircraft carriers.

Dragon Soul had traveled thousands of miles to get here, had a "buffet" meal, and then rushed back to the Pacific Ocean.

Dragon God stayed put, continuing to guard the two Scientific Research Stations on the Antarctic Continent.

Jiang Chen had been out at sea for nearly half a month this time.

He had salvaged three Terracotta Warriors.

It was the perfect time to return home and study the extra knowledge in his mind regarding Earth's magnetic field and Levitating Boats.

If he could make some sense of it, Earth's magnetic field would become another method for mechanical propulsion in the future.

And this 'Magnetic Field Engine' could be described as both environmentally friendly and economical.

pearl river 888 followed Sister Li's aircraft carrier battle group all the way back.

Jiang Chen lay in the cockpit with his hands behind his head, reminiscing about the magical experience on Sister Li.

"Whether it was in the past or in the future, the time spent together... it's all a beautiful memory."

The experience of piloting an aircraft carrier left Jiang Chen secretly amazed.

"Next time I'll find an opportunity to have Xue Yao come to the small fishing boat."

"Otherwise, the 9-1 Mode I entered last time would go to waste."

While Jiang Chen was reminiscing,

Xue Yao, however, was in the command room, looking a bit huffy.

"Hearts are separated by breasts!"

Who would have thought.

Her own husband actually had the tastes of Cao the Thief, a cultural metaphor for a womanizer!

...

Pearl River Military Port.

And.

Zhujiang Port.

Had been cleared by the Naval Department Base half a day in advance.

All surrounding waters were closed to navigation.

The dockworkers were also gathered nearby, resting.

"What's going on? Navigation is suspended again?"

"Could it be that Dragon Cry has returned?"

The workers were buzzing with discussion.

"The situation has been a bit tense lately. Didn't the United States set up some 'Lighthouse World' a while ago? It seems quite a few countries joined."

"What's there to fear? Didn't we also establish the Eastern Land Continent?"

"How many countries have joined us now?"

"I'm not sure, but as long as Clean & Sanitary Country doesn't join, we'll definitely take off."

"It seems Clean & Sanitary Country joined Lighthouse World, didn't they?"

"Yeah, so they're bound to have problems. That Clean & Sanitary Country is just a bizarre outlier—the equivalent of 'Crouching Dragon and Fledgling Phoenix,' the 'Adou of Shu,' someone you just can't help!"

"..."

Not far away,

a young girl wearing a sports cap, a white tube top, a denim miniskirt, and carrying a backpack was looking around.

Her name was Jiang Xiaoran.

She had been in Zhujiang City for two days.

But for these past two days, she hadn't been able to contact Jiang Chen.

She had no choice but to stay in a hotel and come to Zhujiang Port every day to wait for Jiang Chen.

"If he was out fishing and had no signal, he should be back by now, right?"

Jiang Xiaoran muttered to herself.

With the 150,000 that Jiang Chen gave last time, they bought life no. 1, and her whole family drank it.

Not only was her father's health gradually recovering, but she herself felt strong enough to punch the Nanshan Nursing Home and kick the Beidou Kindergarten.

Her combat power was quite impressive.

Plus, it was currently her summer vacation.

So,

she brought some local specialties from home to Zhujiang City, intending to thank her uncle, Jiang Chen.

She just didn't expect,

that this wait would last for a full two days.

She hadn't seen even a hint of Jiang Chen.

And now,

the area around the port was once again blockaded by a large number of special personnel.

This made her even more anxious.

If it stayed blockaded for another day,

her uncle wouldn't get scorched out at sea, would he?

"Hello, I'd like to ask, how long will this port be blockaded?"

Jiang Xiaoran stood outside the crowd and couldn't help but ask the dockworkers.

It was the middle of the day, and even with a sports cap, it was still quite sunny!

A dockworker looked up and grinned. "There's a military port nearby. When warships or aircraft carriers come in or out, it's usually blockaded. Normally, it only takes about an hour."

"But looking at the scale today, I feel it'll be at least half a day."

"Half a day?"

Jiang Xiaoran frowned. "Warships? Aircraft carriers?"

"Yeah, Dragon Cry came back a while ago and stayed for a few hours. But there weren't this many armed personnel last time. I suspect a newly launched aircraft carrier is about to appear."

The dockworker replied.

"My uncle makes a living by fishing. Can he come back along with the aircraft carrier?"

Jiang Xiaoran asked expectantly.

She hoped Jiang Chen would return soon,

and not get stuck behind them.

Hearing this, the dockworkers burst out laughing.

"What a naive little girl!"

"Whether it's a fishing boat or a cargo ship, as long as it hasn't entered the port yet, it has to wait in line outside."

"Exactly. An aircraft carrier battle group is huge. If so many cargo ships and fishing boats tried to go in and out at the same time and there was even a minor scrape, you wouldn't be able to pay for it even if you sold the whole cargo ship. Who would dare compete for the way with a fleet?"

The crowd secretly shook their heads.

This young girl had probably just come out of an ivory tower and didn't understand the rules of society at all.

Jiang Xiaoran sighed and fell silent.

She quietly walked over to a stone bollard and continued to wait, using the shade of a nearby public tree.

If she still couldn't wait for Jiang Chen to return today, she would definitely go to the police!

Time passed bit by bit.

There weren't many people left at the port.

The dockworkers were also taking their noon nap in the rest area.

Who knows how much time had passed.

Leaning under the tree branches, Jiang Xiaoran vaguely heard an extremely long whistle.

It was as if an immense fleet was returning from the distant sea.

Thud, thud, thud!

The sound of rhythmic footsteps made Jiang Xiaoran couldn't help but open her eyes.

It turned out the armed personnel were setting up a security line.

Jiang Xiaoran stood on her tiptoes and looked toward the sea.

Although they were still far away, the silhouettes of some ships were vaguely visible on the sea.

These ships didn't look very large, but due to the distance, they were actually quite massive.

"Is that a warship or an aircraft carrier?"

"I wonder if Uncle Jiang is waiting in line behind them?"

To see more clearly, Jiang Xiaoran climbed up a nearby large tree like a nimble monkey.

Now, she could see much more clearly.

It didn't even take ten minutes,

Sister Li appeared!

It was surrounded on all sides by a large number of Cruisers and Destroyers.

And at its tail, one aircraft carrier fleet after another followed.

Jiang Xiaoran was stunned.

This looks like more than one aircraft carrier!

"What's going on? Has the country's entire aircraft carrier fleet returned?"

Jiang Xiaoran was wondering.

Sister Li's aircraft carrier battle group, leading the way, headed toward the military port first.

However, just as it was about to enter the port, the Cruisers in front suddenly parted.

A small fishing boat, which had been sandwiched in the middle and hidden from view, dashed out from within, accompanied by three Sailboats.

It was just like a mother hen walking to a sunny spot.

As soon as its wings spread,

the little chicks under its wings immediately dashed out.

Then, with a sudden halt like reining in a horse at a cliff's edge,

the fishing boat kicked up the seawater,

and came to a steady stop at Zhujiang Port.
