Aboard 357, Barry is suspiciously inspecting the damage to 357.

Now the side of the 357 bridge is completely dented, the glass of the bridge is shattered, and there are still traces of seawater on the ship, which is wet everywhere.

"What the hell is going on?"

Barry wondered, "Are you being attacked?"

"We thought we should have hit an ice floe. Kotut didn't blink.

It's impossible to tell the truth, and maybe you'll be treated as a slice of neuropathy.

What's worse is that it may anger Gu Xiaobai...... The consequences are even more serious.

Barry: "......"

Are you a fool to me? This is a tropical sea, on the equator!

How could there be ice floes here!

"Mr. Barry, you also saw the performance of the Dragon Palace on the Sea just now, this kind of performance is supposed to create and release a large amount of ice floe on the surface of the sea. Because it's night and the ice floes cling to the sea, it's not easy to see from a distance......," Kotut added, "I used to say that I hope we don't approach the Dragon Palace during the show, maybe because of this. ”

"Is that so?" Barry frowned, "With the current technology, can you make sea ice floes on such a large scale?"

"With the current technology, can you build a high-speed sailing ship as large as Ryugu on the sea?" asked Kotut rhetorically.

Barry was speechless.

There is also a deep sense of powerlessness.

Oh, yes.

For us, it's a technical issue, but for others, it's not necessarily the case.

Barry once learned from Indonesian scholars that Gu Xiaobai was standing at the top of his academic field.

And how far is the distance between Indonesia and the world's top technology?

Barry looked at the Dragon Palace on the sea in the distance and fell into a long silence.

After a moment, he shook his head and said, "If it was really the ice floe, he should at least report it......"

A ship was destroyed like this, and the cost of repairs is unknown!

And, what is even more a pity is that with their shipbuilding technology, even the repair of warships cannot be done.

It can only be sent back to the original factory in Italy for repair.

God knows how much it will cost.

Barry is distressed.

"I'm afraid it's a trade secret. I'm afraid no one would want to reveal the technology in this kind of live performance......" Kotut said.

Barry sighed.

It seems to be true.

Speaking of which, it seems that this is still your own fault.

Why do you want to approach this area?

Forget it, it's still rotting in the stomach......

"357 hit the ice floe, don't mention the damage to the ship to anyone unrelated...... Let's just say that it was damaged when it was suppressed by bandits. ”

"Understood. Kotut and his lieutenant looked at each other and said.

At this moment, a crew member shouted, "Mr. Barry, the Dragon Palace of the Sea invites you to board!"

Invite me on board?

Barry turned his head to see that the Dragon Palace on the sea had gradually shrunk and regained its previous form, and it was obvious that the show on the sea had ended.

He couldn't help but worry: "Is there something going on on the ship? Quick, help me prepare a speedboat!"

Soon, the inflatable speedboat landed on the side of the Dragon Palace on the sea, and soon he saw Suyati, who had lost half his life.

"I'm sorry, the lads are not armed, and he has weapons, and in order to subdue him, some violent means were used......" Mr. Hong said apologetically.

What else could Barry say? Even if he was killed, he couldn't say anything.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's a mistake in our work, I hope to be able to apologize to Mr. Gu Xiaobai......"

"No, pirates are the enemies of all mankind, they are scheming, and we will always be careful, Mr. Barry doesn't need to be particularly worried, after all, there are no real casualties......" Mr. Hong seemed to be completely unconcerned, and then he invited Barry: "Mr. Barry, since you are here, why don't you watch the live performance?"

"Well, it's not good......"

"It's okay, Mr. Dalma from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism is also there, you can sit next to him. Mr. Hong led Barry to a VIP seating area, "Even if it is to guide our safety work on the spot......

"Minister Dalma. Barry greeted Dalma, and felt that Dalma's face was not very good, and seemed to be trembling, and looked at him suspiciously.

"I ...... A bit seasick. ”

"Oh......" Barry didn't think much of it, after all, he saw that most of the audience was drenched.

Barry sat down and looked around.

Mr. Hong also sat down beside him and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Barry, the show is about to end, Mr. Barry can come early tomorrow if he is free......"

Barry wanted to say something, but was quickly drawn to the live performance.

Barry is a very busy person.

In particular, as the main liaison officer for the recent anti-bandit operation in Southeast Asian waters, he worked almost day and night.

It wasn't until recently that I was a little bit more relaxed.

Such a person does not have time to listen to songs.

But during this time, he still listened to many Gu Xiaobai's songs.

In fact, he is also a fan of Gu Xiaobai.

At the beginning, it was the song "Picking Up the Stars" that promoted the efforts of suppressing bandits in Southeast Asia and changed the pattern of the world.

And now, the "Blue Sea Whale Ride" concert is coming to an end.

is singing now the final track "Homecoming".

Barry actually doesn't know how many times he's heard this song.

There are only four lyrics, and the arrangement is progressive, even he once wet the pillow towel with tears at midnight.

"Briar outside the window

The walls have long been opened

O man who has traveled far away

When will I return home......

In Gu Xiaobai's low voice, behind him, the crescent-shaped stage slowly rose.

On the stage, dozens of men in neat naval uniforms stood.

When they appeared, more than half of the audience cheered, and the artistic conception of "Homecoming" was somewhat destroyed.

Because these are the nine members of the "Riding the Wind and Waves Choir", and their comrades-in-arms!

Gu Xiaobai once said that he would invite them to his concert, and now he really invited them!

And it's not just these nine people.

They were men and women, young and old, all of whom were students of a refresher course.

None of them are professional singers, they are not good at singing, and most of them have no experience even performing on stage.

But when the sound of their chorus sounded, the audience instantly fell silent again.

Everyone watched them quietly, listened to their voices, from tenderness, to heroism, to anticipation, and then ......

Gu Xiaobai slowly raised his hands.

The sound of the water sounded wildly.

In the middle of the moon pool, a broken mast suddenly stretched out.

The mast was stained with all kinds of parasites, and it seemed to be a thousand years old.

Suddenly, dozens of men in navy uniforms took off their hats on their heads and hugged them to their chests.

The chorus continued.

They gazed at the shipwreck slowly floating in the water, and sang with emotion.

"Briar outside the window

The walls have long been opened

O man who has traveled far away

When to return home

When will I return home......

The boat, which has been immersed in the sea for more than 2,600 years, slowly and completely surfaced, and then circled the field and sailed into the distance......

The audience, countless people sang loudly together, they stared at the sunken ship, and there was only one thought in their hearts.

A wanderer who has been wandering for thousands of years.

The wandering soul of the homeland.

Today, we send you home.

We're sending you home.
