Liu Nan glanced at He Ao, then turned to look at the rippling blue sea outside the window, lost in thought.

Next update at noon. I'll adjust the update time; I'm too exhausted to stay up any longer, so I'll take a couple of days off.

Chapter 329 The ship ahead should surrender quickly (Please add to your favorites and subscribe!)

In a secluded spot in the harbor, He Ao placed a folded paper boat on the sea, the rippling waves propelling the paper boat up and down.

The bright sunlight shone on the small, pointed tip of the paper boat, which swayed in the wind.

This paper boat was folded from a paper bag that He Ao got from KFC.

The sea breeze carries the paper boat to the boundless ocean.

"The bus is about to depart."

A figure stood behind He Ao, watching the swaying paper boat, and chuckled, "Do you like the sea?"

"Maybe they're just curious."

He Ao smiled and clapped his hands.

He turned and walked deeper into the harbor.

"You can stay here if you want."

Yang De laughed and said, "After all, you are now the honorary vice minister of the overseas department."

He really liked He Ao and wanted to keep He Ao with him.

"Let's go home first, it's been too long since I've been home."

He Ao smiled and continued walking forward.

"Okay, then we need to hurry, otherwise it won't be good to wait too long for the plane."

Yang De did not force the issue, knowing that He Ao had his own opinions.

The two walked together deeper into the harbor.

On the way, He Ao picked up his phone and played the video that Liu Nan had sent him.

The video is about half an hour long, with most of the time spent on the supply ship and tugboat setting up steel cables.

The supply ship shoots steel cables onto the tugboat, sets up the cables, connects the pipelines, and the two ships travel side by side at the same speed, with fuel delivered to the tugboat through the established pipelines.

Throughout the entire process, the people on the two ships did not actually come into contact.

He Ao had already watched the video once, and he quickly scrolled to the end.

In the final few seconds, a person who had been hiding in a blind spot of the camera and leaning against the ship's side flashed by.

A few seconds before that person disappeared, something that looked like a fish seemed to drift over from the sea.

He Ao activated his super memory and reviewed the last ten seconds or so of the video.

Then he discovered that the fish-like thing was not a fish at all, but a mechanical creation disguised as a fish.

Someone used this biomimetic mechanical device to transfer something from the supply ship to the tugboat, where it was picked up by the people on the tugboat.

By this time, He Ao had already reached the bus. He boarded the bus, sat down next to Liu Nan, and casually asked, "Did the supply ship in the video also depart from the same port as the tugboat?"

"Hmm?" Liu Nan, who was thinking, was taken aback. "It should have departed from the nearest seaport. Let me see, it departed from Noral Port in Alano, which is the territory of the Coast Guard."

The Coast Guard is the sworn enemy of the Free Marines who attacked Heo and his men. They are the largest warlord in Alano and have connections with the research institute. Heo had even received a letter from their leader.

Unlike other parts of Alano, the Coast Guard's territory has been restored to basic order, and the port is operating normally.

"Ah."

He Ao nodded gently and looked out the window at the boundless sea.

The countdown in his field of vision was still moving slowly, and this time the interval was still two days.

-

The yellowed paper boats swayed gently in the sunlight.

It gradually drifted away from the shore.

Fish swam below it.

A hand covered in wounds suddenly emerged from the water, grabbed the paper boat, and disappeared back into the water.

White spray overflowed from the water, resembling a large fish swimming underwater.

The waves stretched for kilometers to the edge of the harbor.

Here, a simple speedboat is moored.

The hand, covered in wounds, reached out from the water, clung to the gunwale, and with a sudden burst of strength, leaped out of the water like a fish and landed on the speedboat.

This is a figure whose entire body is wrapped in waterproof bandages.

He wore an exquisite silver earring on his left ear and had a dagger at his waist, giving him a refined and scholarly appearance.

If Yang De were here, he would definitely recognize this as the fugitive he had encountered many times, the 'ruthless bandit' Hu Wen.

Of course, Hu Wen at this moment is no longer Hu Wen; his body is being controlled by He Ao through the puppet crystal ball.

He looked down at his body, then opened his hand, holding the paper boat he had grabbed. The paper boat was now soaked in water and looked wrinkled.

He unwrapped the crumpled paper boat and took out a colorful ring from its very center.

This is the extraordinary ring that He Ao wears on his body, which can disguise his clothing.

He put the ring on the little finger of this body.

In an instant, the bandages covering his body transformed into a wide trench coat.

He maneuvered the speedboat, heading towards the depths of the sea.

······

When He's true form boarded the plane back to Middle-earth.

Meanwhile, the body he was controlling, Hu Wen, arrived at its destination—a pirate ship disguised as a supply ship.

The crew on board were remnants of the Free Marines, who had lost their leader after their leader Balan was killed by Heo.

As He Ao was maneuvering Hu Wen's body to swim outwards, they happened to encounter this ship.

Knowing that these ships usually carried medical personnel and were well-supplied with supplies, he took over the ship directly in the name of Dawn.

He Ao and Li Ming have no relation, but Hu Wen is a genuine C-level, high-ranking cadre of Li Ming.

Since last night, Hu Wen's body has been bandaged and recuperating on the ship.

Even the pirates who were originally free sailors on the ship treated him with utmost respect.

When they were already desperate and in disarray, He Ao came. They didn't really know what Dawn was, but this big shot looked so strong that he could definitely protect them.

They were not Balan's trusted personal guards or fearless elite pirates; they were merely fishermen who had been coerced into becoming pirates by Balan.

Their main task was transporting supplies, and they had no opportunity to go to the battlefield or participate in piracy.

It's not that they didn't have any ideas; even pirates are ranked, and those who charge first get the most money. This kind of lucrative job wouldn't fall to them.

For them, the fact that Balan didn't require them to pay money to support the organization, but only made them do manual labor and allowed them to go home regularly to fish and support their families, was already a blessing.

"Sir, are you back?"

The captain of the pirate supply ship was a gaunt old man with dark skin, bare feet, a white beard, and cloudy eyes.

He studied at the health school in Alarno when he was young.

After a period of nursing, I worked as a nurse in a small hospital in my hometown. Back then, Alano wasn't as chaotic as it is now. Although people were poor, at least they could survive.

Later, Arano was caught in turmoil, the hospital was bombed, and he returned to his hometown village. Relying on what he had learned in the hospital, he gradually became a rural doctor.

Later, his hometown village was occupied by Balan. Balan captured young men to become pirates. Although he was not a young man, he was captured and made the captain of a supply ship because he knew a little medicine.

In reality, he didn't know how to drive the boat at all; it was the young men below who were driving.

This is the story the old man told He Ao.

Just then, He Ao returned to the ship, and the old man came to greet him.

“Turn the ship around and head to Port Noral.”

He Ao said softly.

"Norar Port?"

The old man was taken aback.

Port Noral is the territory of the Coast Guard, which is at odds with the Freedom Marines. When they meet, they greet each other with machine guns.

“There are no more Free Marines,” Heo glanced at the old man. “Do as I say.”

"Okay okay."

The old man then realized that Balan was dead, and the Free Marines were in disarray. If they surrendered now, the Coast Guard would probably take them in.

He glanced at the old man and walked with him toward the driver's seat.

Heo didn't understand Arano's language, but Hu Wen did, and could speak it naturally.

Here's an interesting question: Heo controls Hu Wen's body, and if he speaks without thinking, Hu Wen can naturally speak the language of Arano.

However, if he tries to think carefully about how to pronounce each word, he can't say a single word. In fact, he has absolutely no memory of the Arano language in his mind and speaks entirely on instinct.

The supply ship wasn't large, and the two quickly made their way to the bridge.

The ship slowly turned around and headed towards the port of Noral.

In fact, after handing the C-grade puppet crystal ball over to the gravedigger, those involved in the matter should have either fled or been silenced; it's unlikely they would still be in Noral Port.

But He Ao was prepared to go and look for traces left by those people.

The investigation should have started with the Liu family's crew, but He Ao didn't do that.

First, the body of 'Hu Wen' controlled by He Ao is not suitable for direct contact with the Liu family.

Secondly, he had already taken a screenshot of the suspicious video and sent it to Yang De. Given Yang De's keen sense of observation, an investigation should have already begun.
