Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 689 - 645: A Trace of Unease

If we really retrieve the return capsule, will we really return it to the other side? Haha, what a joke.

Listening to the radio being cut off over there, the captain and Li Huiqun exchanged a glance and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The captain waved his hand: "Advance one nautical mile, then turn around and head home!"

As soon as the captain finished speaking, the entire fleet immediately started moving, slowly heading forward.

On the deck opposite, where the first commander stood, Captain Sorov looked through the binoculars at the fleet slowly sailing towards them.

He couldn't help but furrow his brows tightly, clenching his fists, and slammed them hard on the railing in front of him, speaking viciously:

"These lunatics! Bastards! What are they trying to do? Aren't they afraid that we might actually act against them?"

After saying that, Sorov turned his head and addressed his messenger:

"In an hour and a half, the return capsule will land. Leave two fleets here to guard and block their path!

The rest should take our ships and circle closer to the final landing point.

Surround the final landing point with our ships in a circle! Under no circumstances let them get close!"

Since the other side keeps pressing, we can only tighten the encirclement.

No way around it, I really don't dare to engage them directly.

Sorov's order was executed swiftly.

Two fleets were left in place, turning their ships sideways, blocking Li Huiqun's ships with a clear message that they would not be allowed through.

The remaining ships swiftly moved closer to the spacecraft's final landing point.

Seeing this on the radar map, Li Huiqun and the captain couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After advancing another nautical mile, they decisively chose to turn around.

Witnessing this, the two commanders on the opposite ship were dumbfounded, unable to comprehend what was happening.

They didn't understand the purpose of the other side, wondering if advancing this far was just to turn around here.

For a moment, they were at a complete loss, quickly reporting the situation to Sorov.

Upon receiving the report, Sorov furrowed his brow but did not dare lower his guard:

"Do not underestimate them, they have always been very cunning. Dispatch two submarines to stay far behind them, observing their every move.

If they truly leave this area, beyond 50 nautical miles from us, report back."

Admittedly, Sorov was quite cautious, wary of any tricks the other side might play.

To leave nothing to chance, they gathered the remaining eight carriers around the landing point.

Had it not been for the fear of any cunning tactics from the other side, leaving two reserve fleets patrolling nearby, they would have gathered the entire fleet within a three-nautical-mile radius.

Surprisingly, the two opposing fleets didn't pause at all, leaving straight away!

Moreover, judging by their course, they were clearly headed home.

Even more astonishing, according to surveillance radar, not a single frigate from the two carrier groups had deviated.

This left them bewildered, doubting whether they truly believed that after recovering the return capsule, it would be returned.

Even the dullest person couldn't think that way, lamb to the slaughter will never be spat out by the big bad wolf.

In fact, even Xiao Hei was puzzled after receiving the notice, unclear about the other side's plot.

Only Lin Yi, after receiving the notice, couldn't help but laugh softly.

Indeed, the old ginger is spicier; the old man played this hand brilliantly.

Meanwhile, time flew by, and an hour passed in an instant.

Li Huiqun's two fleets had left over a hundred nautical miles from the area.

After another 20 minutes of sailing, Li Huiqun and the captain stood on the bridge, observing through binoculars.

In the sky, they could see a large fireball rapidly descending.

Witnessing this, nearly every non-duty crew member rushed to the deck to watch this massive fireball.

"Haha, it's finally coming down. I just wonder how many fish will bite the hook this time?"

Leaning against the deck railing, Li Huiqun observed the huge fireball in the sky through the binoculars, a slight smirk on his lips.

The captain next to him also smiled upon hearing this:

"According to our intel, the enemy's eight carrier groups are all within that three-nautical-mile radius.

If you perform well and cover a wide enough area, then their eight carrier groups might not escape unscathed."

Meanwhile, in Lin Yi's office.

Lin Yi was staring at the virtual screen in front of him, which displayed the current state inside the return capsule.

"Master, the return capsule has reached its expected altitude. Should we initiate disassembly?"

Suddenly, a robotic voice came through Lin Yi's earpiece.

"Proceed according to plan."

"Copy, initiating return capsule disassembly countdown, ten, nine, eight..."

With the countdown coming through the earpiece, Lin Yi couldn't help but smirk slightly.

Although he wasn't on-site, the high-temperature-resistant camera in the return capsule transmitted crystal-clear footage.

From a distance, they could see a circle of black dots surrounding the sea.

It was obvious that those must be the ships from the Beautiful Country, lying in wait.

Information from the camera confirmed that all of these ships were within their coverage range.

This somewhat surprised Lin Yi, as he hadn't anticipated such a broad impact range.

Nor did he expect the enemy to issue such an order.

His original plan anticipated a remarkable outcome if they could neutralize even two ships.

Yet now, there appeared to be unexpected results.

Returning to the sea, Sorov stood on the deck, watching the rapidly approaching fireball in the sky, feeling an unexplained unease.
