Sequence Ocean Survival: Awakening God-Tier Sequences at the Start

Chapter 70 The Military Covers Everything! The Blazing Fleet Ascends to the Top in One Step!

The deck of the Zhenyuan flagship was temporarily converted into an open-air banquet hall.

The sea breeze dispersed the smoke of battle, but it couldn't dispel the rich aroma of food.

On long tables made of ammunition boxes, there were canned meat, compressed biscuits, and even several cases of ice-cold beer, which are rarely seen on ordinary days.

The surviving soldiers mingled with the civilian fleet members, clinking glasses and singing loudly.

The triumphant celebrations following the fierce battle made this luxurious tranquility and joy in the apocalypse all the more precious.

"I'd like to raise a glass to everyone!"

Chen Yan changed into a clean training uniform. He held up an enamel mug full of beer, stood at the highest point, and spoke in a loud voice that instantly silenced the noise in the room.

"Gentlemen! This cup is a toast to all the civilian fleets who fought valiantly in this battle!"

"A salute to our departed compatriots! A salute to humanity...the indomitable spirit!"

"Dry!"

"Dry!"

Amidst deafening shouts, everyone downed their drinks in one gulp.

Amidst thunderous cheers, everyone raised their glasses and drank the liquid in one gulp.

Chen Yan put down his wine glass, his gaze sharp as he swept across the room, finally settling on the table of the Blazing Flame Fleet.

His voice rose another octave, resounding through the sky!

"The quartermaster department has meticulously recorded the battle achievements of all participating fleets! Tomorrow, rewards and supplies will be distributed in a unified manner based on merit!"

The speaker paused, and the entire room fell silent instantly; everyone held their breath.

A smile played on Chen Yan's lips as he continued, "Especially the Blazing Flame Fleet!"

"The greatest credit for this battle! He truly deserves it!"

"I, Chen Yan, mean what I say! The comprehensive upgrade and renovation of the Blazing Flame will have the highest priority in the Nanjing defense line! All materials and labor will be borne entirely by the military!"

boom!

These words were like a bombshell, exploding in the crowd!

Countless envious, jealous, and awe-inspiring gazes instantly focused on Zhou Hai and his companions!

Highest priority!

The military will cover everything!

This treatment is like a windfall!

"Holy shit!"

Zhou Hai was so excited that he jumped up from his seat. He picked up his wine glass, his face flushed red, raised it in a toast towards Chen Yan, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp!

Zhao Ze and Su Li also stood up excitedly and saluted Chen Yan solemnly. Their goodwill towards this general who always kept his word increased.

In a corner of the crowd.

Feng Kun's hand holding the wine glass was trembling violently.

The cold beer spilled down the rim of the glass, soaking his hand, but he didn't notice.

He had just pieced together a fact from the conversations of those around him that made his very soul tremble.

Lu Sheng... that arrogant newcomer in his eyes, not only broke through to the terrifying level 5.

He single-handedly slaughtered more than a dozen elite-level floating corpses that even level 5 experts found troublesome!

Finally, they joined forces with Chen Yan to kill that level 6 leader who was like a god or demon!

"Gulp."

Feng Kun swallowed hard; cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

He looked again at the young figure who was chatting and laughing with his companion, and his eyes no longer held any resentment or jealousy.

When the gap in strength becomes insurmountable, resentment transforms into pure fear.

His gaze toward Lu Ling was filled with horror and fear that came from the depths of his soul.

He knew that he and this person were no longer from the same world.

After a hearty meal and drinks, the celebration banquet was drawing to a close.

Just as everyone was preparing to leave in twos and threes, Chen Yan's voice rang out again.

"Please wait a moment, everyone!"

His gaze swept across the entire room, finally settling on Lu Sheng.

"Brothers of the Blazing Flame Fleet, please delay a moment longer. I have some personal matters I'd like to discuss with you all."

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell into a deathly silence once again.

The faces of all the fleet leaders were filled with envy and speculation.

Left alone?

This blazing fleet is about to ascend to the heavens in one fell swoop!

Under the watchful eyes of countless complex gazes, Lu Sheng and his three companions were respectfully invited into the command room of the Zhenyuan by an officer.

The heavy alloy door closed slowly, shutting out all the noise from the outside world.

Inside the command room, only Chen Yan and his two equally powerful adjutants, Lin Hu and Qin Yue, remained.

The atmosphere instantly shifted from noisy to solemn.

Chen Yan didn't waste any words and got straight to the point, his resolute face filled with an unprecedented seriousness.

"Everyone, I, Chen Yan, have seen your strength, courage, and even your character in today's battle."

He paused for a moment, then spoke slowly and deliberately.

"On behalf of the Jinling Fleet, I formally extend this invitation to you."

"We hope the Blazing Fleet can join our battle force!"

As soon as the words were spoken, Zhou Hai and Zhao Ze's hearts began to pound wildly!

Join the military?!

Chen Yan seemed to have noticed their concerns and immediately offered specific conditions.

"Don't worry, everyone. What I mean is cooperation, not incorporation."

"The Blazing Flame Fleet is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Jinling Fleet, but it still maintains absolute independence and freedom of action, and is not bound by military rules and regulations."

"The military will provide you with the highest-level supplies, ammunition, intelligence, and top-notch ship maintenance and modification."

"In exchange, I hope that when the fleet faces a major crisis that it cannot resolve independently in the future, the Blazing Fleet can serve as a sharp blade and lend a helping hand!"

These words made Zhou Hai and Zhao Ze's breathing quicken.

This is hardly a collaboration.

This is clearly a case of directly acknowledging a country as their godfather!

Not only do they provide money, guns, and equipment, but you also don't have to obey orders. Where in the world can you find such a good deal?

The two of them subconsciously looked at Lu Sheng, their eyes filled with longing and inquiry.

Lu Sheng, however, remained silent, his face ashen, leaning against the wall of the command room, as if he had not heard any of this great news.

Seeing this, the two of them forcibly suppressed their excitement and did not immediately express their opinions.

Seeing that Lu Sheng remained unmoved, Chen Yan assumed that he was still concerned about the risks involved, so he threw out more information.

"You don't need to worry about becoming the only cannon fodder. There are four other fleets like ours in the waters of the Dragon Kingdom."

"They have also recruited powerful civilian fleets as allies, but let me make it clear to you that the conditions I offered are the highest! The reason I've left you alone today is to avoid any resentment among the other fleets."

Lu Sheng remained silent.

He was rapidly weighing the pros and cons.

Freedom and resources, risks and opportunities.

Once they agree, it means that the entire Blazing Fleet will be completely tied to the military's massive war machine, and in the future, they will inevitably face more and more terrifying crises.

But if they don't agree, how far can they go on this man-eating sea by themselves?

Seeing this, Chen Yan thought the conditions were not yet sufficient.

He stared intently at Lu Sheng, then suddenly laughed.

There was a hint of cunning in that smile, like that of an old fox.

He unleashed his true trump card.

"Kid, don't you like... studying corpses?"

Chen Yan lightly tapped the holographic map in front of him with his finger, his tone filled with deadly temptation.

Promise me.

"From this day forward, any sea beasts or floating corpses hunted by the entire Jinling fleet, as long as you find them acceptable..."

"The corpses...are all yours!"

boom!!!

These words, like a million thunderbolts, exploded in Lu Sheng's mind!
