The tension in the operations room had reached its breaking point.
Everyone stared at the large screen.
A red dot marking the Ghost submarine was moving across it at high speed.
Like a slippery eel, it hugged a green dot marking a civilian merchant ship, trying to hide its movements beneath the ship's deafening noise.
"Those Eagle Country bastards are as sneaky as we thought!"
Wild Chicken couldn't help cursing.
"Hmph. A cheap trick."
Zhao Mengsheng snorted. Not a trace of tension showed on his face.
"Orders! Have the 055 Destroyer Formation advance thirty nautical miles! Sweep the area with Active Sonar! I want every inch of that water searched!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Orders! Have the East Wind dive to three hundred meters and deploy its Towed Sonar Array! I want to hear the Ghost's heartbeat!"
"Yes, sir!"
The orders went out at once.
On the surface, the vast Dragon Kingdom fleet sprang into motion!
Several ten-thousand-ton Type 055 Destroyers broke away from the main fleet and raced toward the target area like arrows loosed from a bow!
Meanwhile, beneath Zhao Shanhe's feet, the Dragon King, a Strategic Nuclear Submarine as imposing as a beast of the deep, slowly sank back into the black water.
A vast hunting net spanning the surface, the depths, and the sky snapped into place!
At the same time.
Hundreds of meters below, in the cold, dark depths.
The atmosphere inside the Ghost's command compartment was just as tense.
Captain Mike stared grimly at the sonar display.
"Captain, they've found us! Dragon Kingdom's Anti-Submarine Aircraft are headed this way!"
The sonar operator's voice trembled.
"Get a grip!"
Mike barked at him.
He had absolute confidence in the Ghost under his command!
The Eagle Side had spent over a hundred billion U.S. Dollars building this ocean
