CHAPTER 516: CHAPTER 515 SUSPICIOUS

In the end, when the battle results were tallied, Jiang Cheng had sunk the most ships, ranking first among all the warriors.

As a result, Jiang Cheng had violated the previous agreement and did not adhere to the promised conditions.

Jiang Cheng knew he was in the wrong, so he had no way of dealing with Zhang Dabiao’s shameless behavior.

Having broken the agreement himself, he couldn’t say much now.

With a tag-along around, everything became inconvenient.

Jiang Cheng decided to just stay put and not wander around.

Originally, Jiang Cheng wanted to check out the wreckage to see if anything was left on them.

Now he couldn’t take a good look, so he might as well stay in place.

After deciding not to take more actions, Jiang Cheng glanced at Zhang Dabiao, who was following him.

Alright, you don’t have to watch me so anxiously anymore. I promise not to run off, okay? Stop acting like this, it’s freaking me out.

Seeing Zhang Dabiao’s aggrieved look, Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but speak up.

He knew that if he didn’t reassure Zhang Dabiao, this guy would definitely keep sticking to him.

Since he wasn’t planning to do anything else, he might as well let Zhang Dabiao relax.

Anyway, the mission was already winding down, just cleanup tasks remained.

After finishing, they could head back, so Jiang Cheng agreeing with Zhang Dabiao was no big deal.

There was nothing worth Jiang Cheng’s effort after this, so he might as well stay put and make Zhang Dabiao’s job easier.

Even after Jiang Cheng’s assurance, Zhang Dabiao was still not completely at ease.

You said it yourself, don’t forget it like you did with the promises at the base. I heard those promises at the base, but in the end, they were all for nothing.

Zhang Dabiao was spooked by Jiang Cheng, which was why he wasn’t too reassured.

Fine, I said I won’t run off, so I won’t. Why are you nagging like a woman? It’s giving me a headache," Jiang Cheng said somewhat impatiently.

I’m just worried about your safety. Important figures naturally need special attention," Zhang Dabiao grinned as he spoke.

As the two were talking, Jiang Cheng heard Lucy’s voice in his helmet.

Master, a large number of ships are approaching nearby, though they haven’t come closer, they’re just observing from a distance.

The Iron Man Armor is equipped with scanning instruments capable of detecting nearby conditions.

Jiang Cheng had Lucy scan the surrounding sea, instructing her to report any situation immediately, in case other enemies appeared.

Lucy’s warning immediately put Jiang Cheng on alert. The ships that appeared near them at this moment couldn’t have good intentions.

Regarding the fleet suddenly closing in, Jiang Cheng felt the others definitely harbored hostility.

This sea is part of the Yan Clan’s Coral Sea. People don’t just come here for no reason.

Plus, the relationship between the Yan Clan and those guys has recently become extremely tense.

Outsiders saw potential for conflict between the Yan Clan and those southeastern guys at any moment.

Now, others’ ships dare not come near lightly for fear of getting caught in their conflict.

Given the current sensitive time, others’ ships were eager to stay far from this sea; they wouldn’t come unless absolutely necessary.

So the sudden appearance of this fleet was highly suspicious; showing up now was definitely hostile.

Upon receiving Lucy’s warning, Jiang Cheng immediately cautioned Zhang Dabiao.

Attention! A large number of ships have appeared in the surrounding waters. They seem to be heading towards us. Everyone needs to stay alert and vigilant, and beware of a sudden attack from the other side."

After warning Zhang Dabiao, Jiang Cheng himself made some preparations.

His muscles instantly tensed up, and his focus shifted from a relaxed state to a concentrated one.

Jiang Cheng was getting into a pre-fight mode, exciting his body to stay ready for combat at any moment.

Naturally, Jiang Cheng took potential upcoming battles seriously.

In battles, Jiang Cheng would never let his guard down, as it could potentially lead to dangerous situations.

Any enemies daring to approach now were definitely not small fries.

Amidst the Yan Clan and their conflict, ships daring to come close were certainly something.

At the very least, this fleet would definitely be more formidable than the ones they had just dealt with; otherwise, they wouldn’t dare approach now.

After hearing Jiang Cheng’s warning, Zhang Dabiao put away his playful demeanor.

The Blood Eagle Team’s captain immediately became serious, lacking any trace of the earlier sulky vibe.

Everyone, end the search operation immediately. There’s an unknown target approaching, drop everything and regroup now."

"Repeat, everyone, return to the squad immediately for level-one battle alert!

During downtime, Zhang Dabiao was a laid-back guy who enjoyed joking with Jiang Cheng.

But once he entered work mode, Zhang Dabiao became serious immediately.

Especially when it came to matters of combat, Zhang Dabiao always treated them very seriously.

Zhang Dabiao issued the regroup order to his subordinates to prepare for possible upcoming conflicts.

After giving orders, Zhang Dabiao asked Jiang Cheng, "Do you know where those ships came from? Do you know the number or type of ships?

Jiang Cheng was unsure about the fleet’s identity too. Lucy only informed him about the approaching ships.

So Jiang Cheng could only answer Zhang Dabiao by saying, "We’re unclear about the details of the ships approaching us, just that there are many. We don’t have more specific intelligence."

Lucy didn’t provide Jiang Cheng with any information regarding the ships’ ids or types.

Lucy’s imprecise intelligence wasn’t due to negligence; it was because of the scanner’s limitations.

The Iron Man Armor’s scanning device couldn’t have a large footprint. Equipped with too much, there wouldn’t be space for an oversized scanner.

Given the limited space, its performance couldn’t be guaranteed either.

Jiang Cheng’s Iron Man Armor had a basic scanning device installed.

It’s just a miniature detector capable of roughly exploring nearby environments.

Thus, Lucy could use this detecting instrument to discover approaching ships.

But the detailed condition of those ships couldn’t be detected.

Despite mysterious ships appearing nearby, it only raised Jiang Cheng’s vigilance somewhat.

Regarding the safety of these people, Jiang Cheng wasn’t the least bit worried.
