Nanjing, as an ancient city, has now become a paradise for zombies like all other cities in the apocalypse.

Hundreds of millions of zombies are entrenched in the city, which has long since become a purgatory, and a year after the apocalypse, there isn't a single living person left in the entire city.

Only some adventurer squads are active in the outskirts, collecting some essential items for living.

The survivors from this city have partly moved to the Jiangzhou base, while others stay near the Great River, living off the water.

It's not that they don't want to go to Jiangzhou or Wanguo Island, it's just that these places are no longer casually accepting people.

Jiangzhou is overcrowded, Wanguo Island doesn't accept Qin Han people.

Those who stayed here barely managed to fill their stomachs by the water's edge, and some people thought of other ways to make money.

Qinhuai Moonlight was opened directly, and many women had no choice but to join this industry.

Qinhuai River winds around the outside of Nanjing, eventually flowing into the Celestial River.

Using the river water as a barrier, some pleasure boats moored by the river, forming a commercial district.

Normally, this place is for hosting adventurers, but today it was booked out.

All the adventurers were driven away, and a large group of officers from Jiangzhou arrived.

Seeing the arrival of big clients, these women pulled out all stops, with singing and dancing, drums and music, to welcome the people from Jiangzhou.

Everyone drank and made merry, the revelry continuing until midnight.

After midnight, the officers took women inside the pleasure boats, beginning a second round of festivities.

But human energy is limited, and after two o'clock, the Qinhuai River gradually quieted down, with only the lanterns still swaying in the wind.

And in the distant Celestial River, most of the soldiers from the moored fleet had entered deep sleep by this time.

Most of the officers had gone out for fun, and with no restraints, these soldiers began to let loose.

They brought out the drinks, each drinking their fill.

By now, each of them was as drunk as a dead pig, unable to be awakened even by shouting.

Only a few sentries, stationed at observation posts, were drowsily sitting.

It's not that their military discipline is lax, but there's really nothing worth observing here.

The river surface is calm, the river water flows, and the fish in the river pose no threat to the warships. What are they observing?

When the radar operator nearly fell asleep, he glanced up at the radar to see nothing amiss, then continued to nap.

He wasn't worried, because no matter the time, there's always a patrol submarine on duty, ready to alert them of any trouble.

At this moment, they had no idea that a group of grim reapers was swiftly approaching.

.....

Buzz~~~~!

A roaring sound swept across the sky, causing the zombies on the ground, confused, to turn their heads towards the sky, but they found nothing.

"Dong Yao Dong Yao! I am Dong Gui, report your location."

Lynk, hearing the voice on the intercom, immediately answered, "I'm seventy kilometers from the Celestial River, about ten kilometers in front of your left."

"Latest news, according to the War Hawk's perspective, enemy has a patrol submarine cruising. The Commander-in-Chief has already sent Xiaoba for support, now heading to deal with the patrol submarine. We need to slow down a bit, time it well, and launch an attack immediately after resolving the patrol submarine."

"Understood!"

Lynk reduced the engine speed a bit, with a stronger yearning for the feeling of battle growing in his heart.

......

On the river surface, one of Jiangzhou's first fleet's patrol submarines is cruising.

The fleet has a total of six patrol submarines, rotating shifts every four hours to ensure that there is always a cruiser active, which is one reason the rest of the fleet dared to relax.

Equipped quite advanced, the patrol submarine not only fitted with radar, but also an infrared detector, plus installed alarms, loudspeakers, and warning flares to fire into the sky anytime.

If attacked, the soldiers on the ship can quickly react, preparing the fleet over there.

The patrolling submarine is approximately 50 meters long, also equipped with main cannons, secondary cannons, and torpedo launchers.

The ship has more than forty crew members, most of whom are asleep at this moment, but two drivers still dare not sleep – one drives the ship, the other watches the radar.

The radar-watching soldier yawned, rubbed his eyes, preparing to make himself a cup of coffee.

"Old Huang, do you want a cup?"

"Ah! I'll take a cup, this boring patrol really is monotonous."

The driver yawned too, luckily the patrol only lasted four hours, he could still hang in there.

The coffee brewer quickly returned with two cups, much as this coffee was last year's, it wasn't expired; however, this vacuum-packed bird's nest coffee wasn't exactly tasty.

Sipping the coffee, he suddenly froze.

"Hmm... what's this thing?"

He moved closer to the radar screen, watching something underwater approaching the ship.

The driver peered over for a glance, "That shape... feels like a large fish."

"No way, the big fish nearly matches our patrol submarine's length, is there such a large fish in the Celestial River?"

The driver was doubtful too, "Did it swim from the sea? Is it now the season for bigfish to come to breed in the river waters?"

Another shook his head, "No. Should we alert the fleet?"

The driver couldn't help glaring at him, "Are you crazy! Today they're out having fun with women, sleeping sweetly now. If you send an alert, they'll rush back, then you'll have to explain that you found a big fish. Guess what the aftermath might be?"

The radar observer shuddered involuntarily, "No way, I might be executed. Forget it, it's just a fish, however large."

Saying this, despite worrying if the fish might accidentally flip over the patrol submarine, they watched the fish approach nervously.

Gradually, the ship and the fish crossed paths...

Just as the two people thought the big fish wasn't interested in the anti-submarine ship, an unexpected change occurred!

From within the river, huge tentacles suddenly rose into the sky!

Eight tentacles, like giant pythons, tightly wrapped around the anti-submarine ship!

The big fish exerted strength underwater, and the anti-submarine ship began to shake violently in an instant!

The two pilots were thrown out of their seats, their bodies slammed against the walls.

"Not good! It's an ambush!"

Just as the pilot shouted, the glass in the cockpit shattered.

As the ship shook, a large amount of river water poured in!

Gurgle gurgle~~~!

In moments, the river water was already waist-deep!

Luckily, the big fish wanted to overturn the ship and had to rely on swinging back and forth to flip it over.

When the ship swayed back again, the pilot arrived in front of the alarm.

He struggled to raise his hand and it landed on the alarm.

Errrrrr~~~~~!

A piercing alarm sounded, but it lasted only two seconds before the ship overturned!

The alarm's amplifier fell below the river water, and the sound could no longer be heard!

The terrifying Sea Monster, with its eight tentacles, fiercely pulled the overturned ship below the river water!

Some crew members who could swim escaped from the damaged ship, desperately splashing and shouting in the water.

But they were too far from the fleet, and their shouts were utterly insufficient to wake anyone up.

Only the two-second alarm startled the sentries on the fleet's side.

They rubbed their sleepy eyes, trying hard to observe, but the pitch-black Great River showed nothing.

"An illusion? Did someone accidentally trigger the horn and then turned it off?"

The sentry didn't take it seriously, because, in his view, if the anti-submarine ship really was attacked, there would surely be gunfire.

Even if it was bombed, there should be some noise.

With nothing happening now, it must be some mistake.

Just like that, the anti-submarine ship that only gave a single warning was dragged alive into the Great River by Xiaoba.

Some crew members still tried to escape by swimming, but it was useless.

Xiaoba swung its tentacles a few times, and everyone sank into the Great River, with none able to escape alive.

And at this time, the Jiangzhou First Fleet was unaware that the anti-submarine ship had sunk.

......

"Dong-yao, Dong-yao! Xiaoba succeeded! Accelerate!"

Lynk immediately pushed the engine power to maximum, as he was tasked with an important mission today.

As the best bomber pilot of the Dawn Army, his target was to attack an aircraft carrier.

An aircraft carrier isn't easy to bomb and sink; the White Eagle Country had tested it before, taking over ten days to sink one with various bombings.

But Jiangzhou's aircraft carrier wasn't as strong; besides a flight deck and hangars, it merely had some weapons installed, just a cargo ship at its core.

No solid armor, no vertical launch module missiles, no sealed compartments, not heavily fortified.

Lynk knew that the enemy was most relaxed right now, and he must land a decisive blow.

Even if he couldn't directly sink the aircraft carrier, he must first destroy the carrier-based planes on the ship.

Otherwise, once those planes were airborne, they'd cause significant trouble for subsequent operations.

To ensure bombing accuracy, he lowered the aircraft to an altitude of five hundred meters!

This altitude was somewhat dangerous, but Lynk couldn't care less.

Seeing Lynk's move, the two escorting fighter jets understood his intent.

They couldn't bother about much either, as the two fighter jets hurriedly flew over.

On one cruiser, the missile launch system fired.

Though it was short-range low-altitude missiles, they were still missiles.

Dragging bright tails, two missiles soared into the sky.

But the fighter jets were prepared, seeing the opponent's missile launch, they immediately released decoy flares and then accelerated suddenly!

Boom boom~~~!

Two defensive missiles hit the decoy flares and exploded mid-air.

Lynk's aircraft seized the opportunity to fly past, and indeed, the opponent's missiles did not launch again.

Missile technology at this time was poor; managing to launch one round proved it wasn't broken. Reloading and firing a second round required manual operation.

And at this moment, the operators weren't in position yet!

This was a superb opportunity!

In the air, Lynk could clearly see the whole ship, even the shapes of the planes on it.

Feeling the timing was right, Lynk decisively pressed the bomb release!

A string of heavy bombs poured down from the bomb bay, heading straight for the aircraft carrier deck!
