Ten minutes later, a red rescue helicopter slowly took off from behind the oil well, swept low over the sea, gradually lifted into the air, and began to reverse direction and fly toward the southeast.
"There's still about two-thirds of the way to go."
Onizuka controlled the helicopter, with Lu Fan and Maruko sitting on both sides of him, using magnets to place a hand-drawn route directly above the control console:
"If the end of our route is the area where Yu Shun finally landed at the transfer station, we will be able to find that place in about an hour."
The three people remained silent, looking at the silent late-night sea from the helicopter, and began to think about how to deal with the threats from the South China Sea islands next.
The helicopter flight lasted almost 40 minutes.
The red light on the console suddenly flashed.
Lu Fan turned around and looked over, only to see Onizuka put on the headphones, put the headset to his mouth, and pressed the button next to the red light.
"Nanhai No. 3 oil well rescue helicopter, please speak."
Onizuka's Mandarin is not standard, and you can hear a very thick Japanese accent.
"okay, I get it."
"Land immediately according to your request, please be prepared to stop."
Onizuka turned off the red light and turned to look at Lu Fan: "The Chinese Navy, let us leave and land on their warships according to their requirements, or they will shoot us down directly. What should we do?"
"Chinese Navy?"
Lu Fan frowned slightly when he heard this: "Where are we now?"
"We have entered the disputed high seas. The signal was sent by the Chinese Navy destroyer cruising here, saying that we have entered the no-fly airspace and must either return the same way we came from or follow their requirements to land on the warship and accept investigation, otherwise they will shoot us down.
"
Onizuka looked at Lu Fan: "Can you contact the Chinese military to make it easier for us?"
"The Chinese military..."
Lu Fan shook his head: "I don't know them, but looking at this situation, it is impossible to pass through this sea area without their permission."
"We went over there, and since they could find us, they must have noticed Yu Shun's traces. Maybe we can find something on their side."
Just as he was talking, Lu Fan noticed a few red dots in the distance, approaching him.
When the red dot got closer and had a clearer look, they were shocked to find that several WZ-10 fighter planes had already taken off and were flying close to monitor them as they landed on the destroyer.
With Wu Zhi circling around, the rescue helicopter slowly turned and flew. In the night, a huge steel destroyer drifted on the sea and appeared in everyone's sight.
The helicopter landed slowly on the destroyer's apron, and dozens of armed soldiers stood beside it, quietly watching the three people get off the plane.
"Chen Long, the supreme commander of the destroyer Feilong in southern China, will now interrogate you as usual."
A middle-aged man with a gold star on his shoulder and a majestic expression stared at the three of them: "Tell us your names, origins, place of origin, and the purpose of coming here."
Lu Fan and Onizuka looked at each other, stepped forward and said, "My name is Lu Fan."
"Lu Fan?"
Chen Long frowned slightly and carefully looked at the young man in front of him. He was different from the rich second generation he had seen before who liked to seek excitement and came to the controversial high seas.
The young man in front of me gives the impression that he has the demeanor of a general, and he directly calls himself Lu Fan...
