The intercom in Zhang Bin's hand was maintaining communication and receiving all the information from the surroundings.
Zhang Bin said, "Brother Ling, tonight is not going to be easy. We don't know if that transport ship has already heard the news and made a run for it."
Ling Zhenfei replied, "It's not impossible, but since it was only us when we discussed it, the news shouldn't have leaked."
Li Wu said, "Who cares? As long as they dare to come, we'll definitely seize them."
Zhang Bin said, "I don't know what the boss is thinking. We've got warships; are we still afraid of them? Trying to capture an entire ship's cargo without losing a single soldier is simply impossible."
"Indeed, we don't know what kind of setup the other side has, nor how many people there might be."
"Didn't the boss say there were six ships in total? I don't get what's so scary about these six ships."
As they were chatting, a voice suddenly came over the intercom: "Boss, the transport ship has appeared."
"Where is it? Is it far?" Zhang Bin asked anxiously.
"Not far, not far, but these ships are too big for us to handle." The person on the other end seemed somewhat fearful.
"What do you mean, how big?" Zhang Bin asked curiously.
"Very big, anyway, very big." The person was so frightened that their speech was somewhat slurred.
"Alright, how long until they get here?" Zhang Bin asked.
"About half an hour, there are four ships in total. The transport ship is the biggest, and there are three ships around it for protection, armed with heavy weapons."
After receiving the information, the three of them couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. Zhang Bin said, "Didn't they say there were six ships? Why are there only four?"
Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "It should be because the previous transports were too easy, without any obstruction, so they've become complacent and didn't send as many ships."
"That should be it, which means they're practically handing it over to us, allowing us to intercept them easily."
"Everyone should be alert, make sure to stay hidden," Li Wu said into the intercom.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Let's act according to our plan in a bit."
The place they were hiding was a small island, which formed a very good passageway with another island nearby, and many ships would pass through here.
They hid behind the small island, and Gu Feng's large ship was concealed behind the other island, so even if the transport ship had radar, they wouldn't be seen.
Once everything was arranged, they quietly waited.
It was already around two or three in the morning, the time of day when people are the sleepiest, and Ling Zhenfei believed that even those on the ship would be very drowsy.
A thin layer of mist lay atop the morning sea, like a white gauze spread over the water.
Once the fishing boat was hidden within, nothing could be seen—truly a perfect concealment.
"It's here."
Someone said over the intercom, and sure enough, the silhouette of a large ship appeared in the distance.
"Turn off the intercom," someone ordered through the intercom, as the sound traveled very far over the open sea, making it detrimental for hiding.
At this point, Ling Zhenfei had already quietly entered the water, swimming toward the ships from below.
A tactic discussed over dinner was that Ling Zhenfei would bypass the escort ships and go directly to the main ship, control the main ship's bridge, and alter its course.
As long as the main ship was in trouble, those escort ships would be like headless chickens, with no matter how strong their limbs were, it wouldn't be much use.
Currently, Ling Zhenfei was bold and fearless. Jumping into the sea from the fishing boat, he reappeared beside the large ship.
Ling Zhenfei had gone underwater too early to clearly see what the large ship looked like. By now, Zhang Bin and Li Wu on the fishing boat were probably dumbfounded.
It turned out to be a container ship, laden with countless large containers, resembling a massive oil tanker.
If this gigantic ship were filled with military supplies, it's hard to imagine how many troops it could equip.
Ling Zhenfei cursed inwardly; he hadn't expected such a big catch. Had he known earlier, he wouldn't have been so rash.
But there was no choice now; he was here, so he might as well solve the problem in one go.
If it's all military supplies inside, it's probably enough to equip Mao Sharlu and Gu Feng's armies.
Thinking of this, Ling Zhenfei moved quickly toward the large ship, glancing at the three escort ships around it. No wonder Gu Feng was concerned; these three escort ships were small warships!
He wondered which foreign organization was sending these supplies, even with warship escorts.
Another possibility was that these ships and warships belonged to Song Mingyi, who had gone to retrieve them, meaning everyone on board was with Song Mingyi.
Did Song Mingyi have experts by his side? Ling Zhenfei didn't know, but presumably, Song Mingyi had skilled people with him, or else how could he have such audacity for rebellion?
Ling Zhenfei could feel the powerful propulsion from the large ship, but he didn't care. He used Northern Spiritual Energy to form a ladder, easily climbing onto the ship.
This ship had its pros and cons. The downside was that there were definitely a lot of people on it. The upside was that once people were tossed overboard, they wouldn't get back up easily.
Even though Ling Zhenfei could climb up, not everyone could, especially not regular people.
Worried there might be experts on the ship who could detect him, Ling Zhenfei didn't use his Divine Sense to scout. It only covered about ten meters anyway; if someone appeared nearby, he could easily spot them.
Once on the ship, Ling Zhenfei hid behind a container. The ship was enormous—containers were stacked several levels high, and the ship's height was at least tens of meters.
Ling Zhenfei walked forward, knowing the ship's bridge must be ahead because otherwise, how could one steer with such poor visibility?
As expected, he encountered many guards patrolling along the way, armed with assault rifles, looking very intimidating.
From this container ship, he could see the three escort ships around, positioned at the front and on both sides.
Ling Zhenfei didn't pay attention to much else on the ships, but the long barrels of the cannons terrified him; being hit by one would be a disaster.
At this point, Ling Zhenfei reached the bow of the ship but couldn't proceed further because the guards at the front had suddenly increased, all armed and guarding the bridge.
Using his Divine Sense, Ling Zhenfei lightly probed the area; there were at least twenty people, all fully armed, even to the teeth.
