90 Chapter 70: A Mysterious Peak Emerges
The drone spotted the Red Dragon and turned around, beginning to chase after the Red Dragon.
However, Yan Fei no longer dared to have the drone ascend to the sky in pursuit, as doing so was far too dangerous. He also wasn't sure if flying close to the sea would be detected by that huge airplane capable of firing laser weapons, so staying at the bottom of the sea was the safest.
The underwater cruising speed of the Red Dragon Submarine was only 20 knots, that is, around 36 kilometers per hour, but the underwater speed of Yan Fei's Drone Avatar reached 150 kilometers per hour, far surpassing that of the Red Dragon. Therefore, ten minutes later, the drone had already caught up to the Red Dragon, and by then, they were only 65 kilometers from the Shanghai city area.
Yan Fei was very cautious. He didn't get close to the Red Dragon but hid in the territorial waters five kilometers away from it, minimizing the noise he made, and used the quantum radar from afar to monitor its actions. This time the Red Dragon failed to detect the drone. It continued to move forward, and the drone followed at the same speed, always hanging behind it.
Forty minutes later, the Red Dragon Submarine arrived at a point 40 kilometers away from the Shanghai city area. Once there, the Red Dragon no longer continued to move forward but surfaced and waited quietly. It must be said that the stealth of the Japanese Soryu-class Submarine when they submerged was impressive; the sound level they emitted was extremely low, even quieter than the ambient sea noise, so unless one paid special attention, their presence would be undetectable. This was why the Red Dragon hadn't been discovered by the China Navy when it covertly entered the waters 40 kilometers off the coast of Shanghai.
However, if the Red Dragon continued to move forward, it would enter the China Navy's anti-submarine net and would undoubtedly reveal its location. By stopping outside of the anti-submarine net, it showed that Japan was very clear about China's military deployments and could avoid dangerous areas, thus not putting itself at risk.
A few minutes after surfacing, a medium-sized yacht sailed from the direction of Shanghai and approached the Red Dragon. The yacht's crew exchanged a few words with the people on the Red Dragon, and then a few individuals boarded the yacht from the Red Dragon. After that, the yacht turned around and sped towards Shanghai. Once the individuals were sent away, the Red Dragon quickly submerged, moved two kilometers away from its original location, and lay in wait at the bottom of the sea.
Yan Fei's Drone Avatar's naval cannon couldn't penetrate the hull of the Red Dragon, so for now, there was nothing he could do about the submerged Red Dragon. He didn't approach the Red Dragon but chose to follow the yacht instead. Although the yacht was fast, it was still not as fast as the underwater speed of the drone. The drone quickly caught up with the yacht and quietly followed underneath it, picking up the sounds from above.
On the yacht, someone spoke in Japanese, "Kazuteru-kun, we've confirmed that Yan Fei, the boss of Dream Technology, and General Manager Lu Pingping, are currently all in their headquarters, seemingly discussing something, and haven't left."
Another voice asked, "Do you have their photos?"
The person seemed to show him something and said, "These are their photos. They also have some retired China military personnel protecting them, so Kazuteru-kun, you must be very careful."
The person called Kazuteru sneered, "What's the big deal about China's retired military? Are those who haven't fought in decades even considered soldiers? Don't worry. The family assigned me to lead the kidnapping, and nobody can stop my operation."
It was at this point that Yan Fei finally confirmed that the Red Dragon was indeed a tool for smuggling people. The individuals who boarded the yacht were experts sent by the Oogawa Family, and their target was indeed himself and Lu Pingping.
Once Yan Fei had confirmed the identities of the few individuals on the yacht, knowing that they were his targets for action tonight, a murderous intent formed in his heart. But he didn't take action immediately; instead, he allowed the yacht to continue moving forward. Once the yacht had traveled far enough away from the hiding place of the Red Dragon Submarine, the drone suddenly fired, launching an attack on the yacht.
Just as the yacht was about to enter China's territorial waters, it suddenly shook, and a violent explosion occurred at the stern. The engine located at the stern was destroyed by the naval cannon. Following that, an even more violent vibration went through the yacht, and in just a couple of seconds, the hull was pierced by the drone's naval cannon, allowing large amounts of seawater to rush in.
The black-clad Oogawa Family members aboard the yacht looked at the person who received them with suspicion and rebuked loudly, "What the hell is going on?"
The person who came to receive them was somewhat panic-stricken and said, "I don't know what's going on, but it seems we've been attacked by an unknown force, and the attack is coming from the bottom of the sea."
The man called Kazuteru asked, "Did you leak any information? Is the attacker from below a China submarine?"
But Kazuteru didn't wait for an answer because the yacht's bottom was breached, and suddenly several shots of large-caliber naval gun stray bullets flew up from the seabed, turning the guide into mincemeat on the spot.
Kazuteru was shocked and immediately jumped into the sea, only to see the yacht above suddenly explode. It turned out that the drone's bullets had hit the fuel tank directly. Diesel from the fuel tank leaked and caused a major explosion. The blast inflicted heavy casualties on the people on the yacht, those lucky not to be killed by the explosion were burnt or injured by the fierce flames, and only Kazuteru, who had jumped into the sea in advance, was unharmed.
