"Hello, I am Yang Dingtian, the captain of Boat 681. We are ready to fight at any time.”

Yang Dingtian said quickly.

The commander on the other end of the phone was speechless.。。”

This wasn't a time of war, so how could there be so much war?

Wasn't that Mad Yang's killing intent a little too strong?

"Captain Yang, this is the logistics department. In the next two days, only your ship 681 will be going out to sea. The logistics department needs you to send supplies to Stone Mountain Island.”He quickly explained.

So that was the case.

Although Yang Dingtian felt regretful, he immediately replied," Alright, I understand.”

" Alright, see you later, Captain Yang."

"Yes."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Dingtian looked up at Lin Sanbao and said," We have to go to Stone Mountain Island to deliver supplies to Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang first. Oh right, hurry up and buy a box of liquor. Uncle Wang likes it."”

"Okay, I'll go right away. I haven't been there in a long time. I really miss Aunt Wang's cooking.”

Lin Sanbao said as she walked out of the office.

"Get ready. We'll go to the mother port to load the supplies first.”

"Yes."

After giving the order, Yang Dingtian led the prospective captains to check the preparations before the voyage.

Half an hour later, the 681 cruiser set sail from Huangtian Port on time. It first rushed to the Southern Squadron's mother port, loaded with supplies, and then officially set sail for the distant sea.

The 16 prospective captains had been following Yang Dingtian all along, learning how he commanded and arranged things. They had to answer some of Yang Dingtian's questions from time to time.

7 PM.

Under the setting sun, orange rays of light scattered on the surface of the sea, swaying along with the waves, giving people an extremely gorgeous beauty.

Right in front of the 681, there was a small island standing between the sea and the sky. On the highest point of the island, there was a flag that was as bright as blood fluttering in the sea breeze, like a burning and jumping flame.

"Slow down and slowly approach. Pay attention to the reef on the right.”

"Yes."

After giving the order, Yang Dingtian left the command room and went to the deck. He then waved in the direction of the island," Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, we're here."”

" Vice-captain, are the people on the island the captain's relatives?" A guy asked Lin Sanbao in a low voice.

They had been here for a month, but this was the first time they had seen the captain, who was called a madman, like this.

Whoosh.

Lin Sanbao took a deep breath and explained," I'm not the captain's relative.”

Then why?

These prospective captains didn't quite understand.

"There's a couple of sentries on the island. They've been guarding the island for 30 years, right?”Lin Sanbao's eyes were filled with reverence as he watched the island approach.

What was that?

He had been guarding the island for thirty years?

The 16 quasi captains widened their eyes in disbelief.

"You can't believe it, right?" Lin Sanbao looked at the prospective captains and said in a deep voice," But this is the truth. Ever since they received the order to come to the island, they have never left except for serious illnesses or injuries.”

Instantly.

Everyone's expression changed, and their hearts were completely shaken.

There weren't many trees on that island, and it was surrounded by the vast sea. There weren't even a few seabirds, let alone humans. How lonely was that? However, the couple had stayed there for nearly 30 years.

"There's no electricity on the island. We can only light kerosene lamps and candles, and there's no fresh water. Most of the time, we can only store rainwater. Vegetables and meat can only be stored for a few days.”

"Last year, during a typhoon, Uncle Wang broke three ribs in order to protect the observation equipment on the island. Aunt Wang also almost walked into the gates of hell because of a ruptured gallbladder duct.”

"The fleet wanted to let them go ashore to recuperate and replace them, but Uncle Wang and the others refused. They said that they were old and used to staying on the island.”

Lin Sanbao looked at the prospective captains." So, you understand why the captain is like that, right?”

Understood.

How could he not understand?

Looking at the approaching island and the two faintly visible figures, these prospective captains were also filled with respect. They asked themselves, they might be able to hold on for one or two years, but that was nearly 30 years of holding on.

"Vice-captain, this island is no longer at the front line. Why don't you remove the sentry posts? They're working too hard." A quasi-captain muttered to himself.

"Not at the front line, but once Kaishan Island is attacked by special forces. If the enemy used it to set up some hidden listening devices on the island, the consequences would be unimaginable.”Lin Sanbao explained.

So that was the case.

The group of prospective captains fell silent, their eyes fixed on the small island in front of them.

Huala, huala.

With the surging waves, Boat 681 slowly approached the simple dock and stopped.

"Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, we're here.”

Yang Dingtian took a big stride and jumped onto the stone-built shore.

"Little Yang."

"You look thinner than last time."

Wang Mingkai, who was wearing a green military uniform, and Wang Shihua and his wife also greeted them with a smile. Yang Dingtian had brought Boat 681 to deliver supplies several times, so he was very familiar with them.

Thump thump.

The 16 prospective captains followed Lin Sanbao to the shore and sized up Wang Mingkai and his wife.

Because they had stayed on the island for a long time, the skin on their faces had long turned black and red under the wind and sun. There were also many wrinkles on their faces. In addition, the humidity at the beach was heavy, and rheumatism caused their joints to be somewhat deformed.

"Salute."

Following Yang Dingtian's order, everyone raised their hands and saluted.

"Little Yang, look at you. You're always like this.”Wang Mingkai returned the salute and said," You're already a major. Why are you saluting me first?"”

"Uncle Wang, you can't deprive us of the right to pay our respects to the old seniors, right?”Yang Dingtian smiled and said," This time, I brought you another box of premium liquor. Aunt Wang, I've been thinking about the oyster you made. Oh, and the braised dried salted fish.”

"Alright, alright."

"Let's go to the barracks first."

Wang Mingkai, Wang Shihua, and his wife were all smiling.

"Lin Sanbao, bring some people to move the things over.”

"Yes."

"Kitchen Squad, bring your guys to the kitchen to cook.”

"Yes."

After giving the order, Yang Dingtian followed Wang Mingkai and his wife to the barracks on the island.

Due to the arrival of nearly a hundred people, the originally quiet and lonely island immediately became lively. In an instant, it was filled with a rich atmosphere of life.

However, Wang Mingkai and his wife knew very well that this kind of excitement would only last for a short while. After Yang Dingtian and the others left, this place would become lonely again.

Therefore, they cherished every time the fleet came.

At eight o'clock.

A sumptuous dinner was prepared. The tables were brought out and put together. A bonfire was lit and everyone sat together. It was very lively.

"Xiao Yang, can I drink it?"

"There's no specific mission. You can drink, but you can't drink too much.”

Yang Dingtian poured a glass of wine for Wang Mingkai and clinked glasses with him.

After drinking it in one gulp.

Yang Dingtian picked up a piece of braised dried salted fish and said after eating," Aunt Wang, with your culinary skills, you can even open a restaurant.”

"It's not as good as you say." Wang Shihua said as she picked up another piece for Yang Dingtian.

"Aunt Wang, can you tell us about what happened between you and Uncle Wang back then? We're all very envious.”Yang Dingtian asked.

"What's there to be envious of?"

Wang Shihua put down her chopsticks and looked at her husband who was drinking beside her.
