Chapter 180 Picking up a giant whale as a ride, the regular army was completely dumbfounded!
Amidst the roar of propellers tearing through the air, two black armed helicopters slowly landed on the wide deck of the Zhenhai.
The sea breeze was biting, carrying a unique smell of engine oil and steel.
The hatch opened, and Lu Sheng jumped out first, followed closely by Zhou Hai.
Qin Yue and the others also stepped out of the cabin from another helicopter.
Immediately afterwards, several military doctors who had been waiting for a long time quickly stepped forward and lifted the unconscious Chen Yan from the stretcher onto the medical vehicle.
"Is this the foundation of a regular army...?"
Zhang Yi and Qin Yue followed behind, looking at the rows of elite naval soldiers standing in neat formation, holding new rifles, a hint of shock and unease flashing in their eyes.
Compared to the ragged refugee corps at Twin Peaks, armed with homemade guns and cold weapons, the troops before them seemed to belong to a different era, both in terms of morale and equipment.
A natural sense of class disparity arises spontaneously.
"Are these the remnants who escaped from Nanjing?"
"They don't look very good either; they all look like beggars."
"Shh, keep your voice down. I heard that the young man leading the group is quite powerful; he even tamed a level 7 sea beast."
"Pshaw, I think it was just luck. That whale was probably stupid to begin with, otherwise, why would it have been pulling a raft for these refugees?"
Whispers spread among the soldiers around the deck.
Countless gazes converged on Lu Sheng and his group, some with curiosity, some with scrutiny, but mostly with a sense of superiority from being in the inner circle of the system, and a disdain for those who had risen through unorthodox paths.
In their eyes, Lu Sheng's team was like a poor, destitute relative from the countryside who had fled to the city to escape famine.
Zhou Hai had a fiery temper. Upon hearing this, the fat on his face twitched. He was about to glare back when Lu Sheng raised his hand to stop him.
Lu Sheng stood with his hands in the pockets of his black combat uniform, his expression calm, as if the harsh noises around him were just the cries of seagulls.
He merely tilted his head slightly, glanced at the Titan whale spouting water on the distant sea, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
A country bumpkin?
In this apocalyptic world, the only one on this vast ocean that can afford to have a level 7 sea monster as its private car driver is probably the only one of its kind.
"Major Lu, I've heard so much about you."
A middle-aged man in a crisp military officer's uniform strode up to greet them.
He carried the rank of Senior Colonel with two bars and four stars on his shoulders, his steps were steady, and he exuded a calm aura belonging to a Level 7 Spirit Source user, but deep in his eyes, there was a trace of arrogance that was not easily detected.
"I am Wang Gang, the operations staff officer of the Zhenhai."
Staff Officer Wang politely saluted Lu Sheng, but his gaze swept over Lu Sheng like a searchlight, as if trying to see through the young man's background.
"Nice to meet you," Lu Sheng returned the greeting, his tone indifferent.
"We are aware of General Chen Yan's condition, and the medical team will do its best to treat him."
Staff Officer Wang smiled and gestured "please," his movements impeccable, but his tone carried a businesslike distance: "The instructor has been waiting in the operations room for quite some time."
"Lead the way." Lu Sheng nodded.
The group walked across the busy deck and arrived at the entrance to the towering island superstructure.
Just as Qin Yue, Lin Hu, and the others were about to follow them in, Staff Officer Wang suddenly stopped and turned around to block their way.
"I'm sorry, everyone."
Staff Officer Wang wore a professional smile, but his tone left no room for doubt: "The teacher only has Major Lu and Major Qin Yue here. Please wait in the rest area over there. We have prepared hot tea and food."
Qin Yue's expression changed: "But..."
Is this meant to separate them from the core leadership?
In this unfamiliar place, if something happened to Lu Sheng, they would be like meat on a chopping board.
"What? Is this a military order, or the proper way to treat guests?" Zhou Hai asked, his face darkening.
The atmosphere instantly became tense and hostile.
Several guards immediately stepped forward, their guns not raised, but the safety was off.
"Team Leader Zhou."
Lu Sheng's calm voice rang out.
He stopped, turned around and glanced at the somewhat nervous crowd, giving them a reassuring look.
"Since we're here, let's make the best of it."
Lu Sheng straightened his collar, his tone as relaxed as if he were visiting a neighbor: "You guys wait here, have some tea, rest your feet. Perfect timing, I also want to see what the legendary Military Sea God is all about."
After saying that, he turned around and said to Staff Officer Wang in a low voice, "Let's go, don't keep the old general waiting."
That calm and composed demeanor instantly overshadowed the official air emanating from Staff Officer Wang.
Staff Officer Wang was slightly taken aback, then gave Lu Sheng a deep look before stepping aside to make way.
"please."
As the heavy, airtight door slowly closed, Lu Sheng's figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
Qin Yue took a deep breath and clenched her fists: "Don't run around. Listen to Major Lu. I trust him."
Zhou Hai plopped down on the sofa in the lounge area, grabbed an apple from the table, took a big bite, and mumbled indistinctly, "Damn it, if these regular soldiers dare to lay a finger on that kid Lu, I'll have that giant whale sink this lousy ship!"
……
Inside the aircraft carrier, the steel tunnels are deep and cold.
Various sophisticated instruments flashed their indicator lights, and high-level Spirit Source users in armor moved back and forth, filling the air with the chilling scent of a war machine.
Staff Officer Wang led the way, his leather boots making a crisp clattering sound as they stepped on the metal floor.
"Major Lu has achieved so much at such a young age; I wonder who his mentor was?"
Staff Officer Wang was seemingly chatting casually, but he was actually probing: "That Titan whale is notoriously irritable. Major Lu was able to tame it, so he must have some special beast-taming technique, right?"
This is a preliminary assessment.
A powerful individual from the wild, if backed by a powerful force or possessing some kind of core technology, has a different bargaining chip.
Lu Sheng put his hands in his pockets, casually glanced at the pipes on the wall, and said dismissively, "I was lucky, I found them on the roadside. As for my teacher... I'm self-taught, just practicing blindly."
Staff Officer Wang stumbled, and the corner of his mouth twitched violently.
You found it?
Go pick up a level 7 sea monster from the roadside and see what happens?
Still practicing haphazardly? You think you can reach level 7 by just practicing haphazardly? Do you think we, a bunch of professionally trained soldiers, are useless idiots?
Seeing that Lu Sheng was unmoved by reason, Staff Officer Wang decided not to make a fool of himself, his face darkened, and he quickened his pace.
A few minutes later.
The two arrived in front of a heavy alloy door.
There were no markings on the door, only two heavily armed Level 8 guards standing like statues.
Staff Officer Wang straightened his collar, his expression instantly becoming extremely solemn, and gently knocked on the door.
"Report! Lu Sheng has arrived!"
After a few seconds of deathly silence.
An aged yet powerful voice came from inside: "Come in."
The sound wasn't loud, but it seemed to carry the clang of metal, penetrating the heavy alloy door and causing Lu Sheng's eardrums to bulge slightly.
There's something there.
Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes, a hint of interest flashing in his dark golden pupils.
The door slid open slowly, and a wave of energy mixed with iron, blood, gunpowder, and the pressure of a high-level expert rushed out instantly!
Lu Sheng stepped inside.
This is a huge war room, with a large oval table in the center.
Seven people were sitting around the round table.
Besides the elderly man with his eyes closed in the main seat, there were four level 7 and two level 6 Spirit Source users sitting on either side.
These men were all fierce and powerful, with eyes as sharp as knives; they were clearly valiant generals who had fought their way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
The moment Lu Sheng walked in, seven pairs of eyes, like seven sharp swords, pierced him simultaneously.
The air seemed to freeze.
This was a silent show of force.
If it were an ordinary person, facing such collective pressure that could cause a heart attack, they would probably be trembling and sweating profusely.
But Lu Sheng only paused slightly before continuing forward as if nothing had happened.
His gaze swept past everyone and locked onto the old man in the main seat.
He was an old man with white hair and beard, dressed in an old-fashioned military uniform. Although he was sitting, he was upright like a pine tree, with a sheathed ancient sword lying across his knees.
Even without deliberately releasing his aura, the dragon blood within Lu Sheng's body began to subtly boil.
That was the instinctive fighting spirit when encountering a strong opponent of the same level.
Level 8 Spirit Source User.
Sword Cultivation Sequence.
That old man is very strong!
