Due to the lack of references, it was difficult to tell exactly how big that whale really was on Summer Night.

But certainly much larger than a normal whale, because - it has four pairs of bony wings.

At the front of the body are two pairs, connected at the roots, and separated into two completely independent spars upwards; And there are two same pairs in the back of the body. Four pairs of bony wings take turns going up and down, pushing the beluga whale forward quickly in the sea of clouds.

Looking at the appearance of the beluga whale, a strange and vague idea vaguely appeared in Xia Ye's heart, but before he could catch it, Yaha's voice came from the microphone.

"Summer night, are you with the second mate?"

"Uh...... Right. ”

"Come to the cab, don't disturb the second officer." Yahab said in an unquestioning tone.

Yaha, after all, is the captain of the ship, and Summer Night still respects the other party's opinion on specific matters.

"Good~"

She answered, turned her head to Tang Li and said, "Sister Tang Li, then I'll go down." ”

……

As soon as he walked into the cab, Xia Ye heard Yaha's cannon-like commands, and Yaha and the others obviously saw the beluga whale through Tang Li's shared vision.

"Right rudder 10, increase the speed to 280 knots."

"One main gun, one secondary gun, one harpoon shell each!"

"Chief Engineer, this time you will first enter the 'Synchronous Enhancement' mode, listen to my command and start again, the maximum time will not exceed 2 minutes."

"First mate, prepare the ceremony materials on the foredeck."

"Second officer, report to me again the distance, speed, and direction of the target."

……

Summer Night stood beside Jaha, and waited until she had given all her orders, and then asked:

"How soon will we catch up with that whale?"

"The distance from us in a straight line is 105 nautical miles." "The speed is about 160 knots, and considering we have to bypass a few aetheric vortices along the way, it will take us about an hour before we can catch up with it." ”

"It's taking so long."

"That's because we found out early." "If it were an ordinary lookout, we would only be able to spot a target of about 15 nautical miles, but thanks to the second officer, we have a lot of time to prepare......

Hmph~ In addition to the second mate, thanks to this witch, if it weren't for me, Tang Li would only have to wait until there were 30 nautical miles left to find the beluga whale, in that case, the time left for you to prepare would be about 15 minutes.

Although Summer Night thought so in her heart, she didn't say it.

And Yaha has continued: "Especially the ceremony of the first mate, it takes a lot of time, and it is best to prepare early...... Look, they've moved their wingbones up. ”

Through the window, Summer Night saw the first mate and the crew carrying the wing bones, each of which was more than two meters long, to the foredeck. Under the command of the first mate, the crew arranged the wing bones into a circular pattern and fixed them to the deck with something like adhesive, and the whole scene was not occult, but rather like a group of gray men working.

In the previous discussion, Summer Night had a general understanding of the combat plan designed by Yaha, and if it was simply described, it would probably be-

A wave of ultimate.

And the most critical part of it is the ceremony of the first mate.

The first mate briefly described the effect of this ritual, which sounded powerful, but in fact, you can only know how it is by looking at it.

Anyway, you can see it soon, just wait a few dozen more minutes.

"Thank you." Yaha said suddenly.

"What?" Summer Night didn't react at once.

"According to the agreement we made before we went to sea, you would have only had to sit on the sidelines." "But you've actually helped me so far. ”

Hearing Yaha say this, the girl couldn't help but be stunned, but soon, she accepted the other party's thanks calmly.

"It's called 'additional investment.'" "And so far, it's been a pretty good return." I just hope that in the next step, I don't lose everything. ”

"If I only think about that beluga whale, I think my plan will almost certainly succeed." "But I'm afraid something else will happen." ”

"For example?"

Yaha shook her head, "If I knew, it wouldn't be an accident. So, I want to know, if something really happens, will you still 'invest more'? ”

Summer Night once again remembered the strange feeling in her heart when she first saw the beluga whale, but it was too vague to catch it when it first appeared, and it was even more impossible to catch it now.

The only thing she could confirm was that the idea was probably not good news, which was why she cared so much.

"I will." She smiled, "Just ......"

Yaha was taken aback: "What do you want to do?" ”

The last time she wore socks, she had already choked enough, what tricks were she going to make this time?

"As long as you say: 'Super invincible and cute Summer Night, please help me~', I will promise you."

This time the request made by the summer night was unusually simple.

"That's it?" Yaha always felt that there was some trap.

"Yes, that's it, as long as you say it now, I'll help you."

"Super invincible and cute summer night, please help me," Yaha said quickly, "Alright." ”

"Not emotional enough."

"Huh?"

"Well, I repeat, you listen well, 'Super invincible! Love! Lord of the summer night, please help me~~'Pay attention to the rise and fall of my tone, especially the last word 'bar', full of pleading and expectation~"

Yahab could only say it again.

"Poof—"

Before Summer Night could reply, the helmsman standing aside couldn't help but laugh first.

"Concentrate on the helm!" Yahasse commanded inwardly.

"Yes!"

"You've got through, Captain Yaha." Summer Night chuckled and said, "I'll help you if you need to, with my most powerful contract." ”

Yaha finally breathed a sigh of relief: "You just agreed?" ”

"Yes, because you have met my requirements, although there are still many shortcomings by my standards, but it is already very good for you."

"But what's the point of your request......

"Because it's fun."

"Huh?"

"For me, fun is the most important thing." Summer Night said with a smile, "It's even a little more important than Moor." ”

……

The short fifty minutes passed quickly.

The distance between the Moby Dick and the beluga whale had been reduced to less than 20 nautical miles, and even a very fine wake could be seen in the distance.

Tang Li's voice suddenly came from the microphone:

"The target speed is improving! Currently about ...... 180 knots. ”

Yaha's expression was not surprised.

"It found us." She said, "Helmsman, go into ram afterburner mode and increase the speed to 300 knots. ”

"The main gun is ready to be aimed, and the distance is reduced to less than 5 nautical miles before firing."

With Yaha's command, the stern thrusters soon let out an afterburner roar, and the speed of the Moby Dick increased again, and the bow of the ship fiercely split the sea of red golden clouds, and chased wildly towards the target.

Little by little, the white trail widened in the distance, and when the whale could barely be seen with the naked eye on a summer night, the trail headed northwest suddenly turned an angle to the left.

Tang Li's report was immediately heard from the microphone:

"Goal turn! It is currently heading due west. ”

"Blind steering will only make it catch up with us faster." Yaha sneered and gave the order, "Left rudder 5, the bow of the ship will be aligned with its tail...... Okay, back to normal. ”

As Yaha said, Moby Dick made a very inexplicable turn, and instead of getting rid of the Moby Dick, he made the straight-line distance between the two a lot closer.

Summer nights can even see its bony wings.

"Report distance." Ahab shouted into the microphone.

"8 nautical miles."

"Good. The main cannon is aimed at the root of its left wing, pay attention, it is the root of the wing, do not aim at the back ridge, it will ricochet! Ahab gave the gunner an order.

"Once you're five nautical miles, you can seize the moment and open fire on your own, without waiting for my orders."

"First mate, how's your ceremony?"

"It's ready."

……

Yaha's orders were gathering again, and the ultimate goal of this voyage, the huge, unique white whale, was already in sight, and everyone was nervously busy making final preparations for the hunt.

Only the summer night looked out the window silently.

But she didn't look at the beluga whale.

Her vision was not even focused, and the out-of-focus made the scene in front of her more and more blurred, but the thought in her heart gradually became clear.

She suddenly walked briskly over to the microphone.

"Sister Tang Li, can you scan due west again? Location as far away as possible, say 100 nautical miles or even farther away? ”

"Summer Night?!" Jaha frowned at her. Now that Tang Li was staring intently at the beluga whale, the summer night suddenly asked her to look elsewhere, which would undoubtedly disrupt Yaha's arrangement.

"Trust me, just take a look." After Xia Ye finished speaking to the two, he added: "It's better not to find anything." ”

Yaha hesitated for a few seconds, but agreed, "Just do as she says." ”

There was no reply from the other side of the microphone, and Xia Ye knew that Tang Li was looking due west 100 nautical miles away with big eyes.

Half a minute later, Tang Li's voice came from the microphone again.

There was a rare hesitation in her voice.

"Due west, wake tracks were found 130 nautical miles away, and there were at least five of them heading due east...... There may be more, I can't be sure. ”

Yaha raised her eyebrows slightly: "Is it a group of whales?" Are the whales near Debussota hiding in the deep sea? ”

"It's a school of whales, but it's ......"

"But what?"

"I seem to see ......"

Tang Li's voice of disbelief came out of the microphone:

"Those whales...... It seems that each one has four pairs of bony wings! ”
