It was extremely peculiar that the electronic reconnaissance ship's external communications were not completely cut off, yet they just couldn't contact their rear command. As such, the electronic reconnaissance ship couldn't report its ordeal to rear command nor receive new orders from them.

Although unable to receive the latest orders, the captain of the electronic reconnaissance ship, being highly experienced, quickly gave an order for the damage control personnel to immediately untangle the fishing net from the propeller. Despite his caution, the captain was somewhat stubborn. Without new orders from rear command and now that the ship had regained mobility, he ordered the electronic reconnaissance ship to continue advancing towards Misty Island to complete the exploration mission.

After the electronic reconnaissance ship had advanced another kilometer, a huge plume of water suddenly appeared on the sea surface ahead, followed by a gigantic blue whale breaching the water. Then, a smaller blue whale also emerged, closely following the larger one. The two blue whales chased and frolicked with each other, appearing to be a mother and her calf.

Under the bleak moonlight, the crew on board spotted the playful blue whales but chose not to disturb them, instead silently watching them. However, an unforeseen accident occurred. The smaller blue whale lost its sense of direction while leaping and crashed into the electronic reconnaissance ship, becoming dazed. The calf immediately began sinking and, coincidentally, got caught in the ship's propeller as it descended. Without any surprise, the calf was minced into pieces, and the sea water blossomed with bright red.

The larger blue whale, which had been happily spouting water, then realized its calf had been killed by the electronic reconnaissance ship's propeller. It let out a mournful cry, turned around, and charged furiously towards the electronic reconnaissance ship. The crew, who had initially been bystanders to the spectacle, were suddenly faced with this turn of events. Without enough time to use the ship's weapons against the large blue whale, it violently collided with the electronic reconnaissance ship's propeller.

This collision naturally left the big blue whale dead and mutilated, while the electronic reconnaissance ship's propeller was hit by the whale, lost a blade, and was completely wrecked, unable to turn anymore, leaving the ship essentially powerless.

The captain of the electronic reconnaissance ship watched all this happen and felt a chill down his spine. He could swear that both the earlier entanglement of the propeller by the fishing net and the recent revenge strike by the large blue whale were random accidents, genuine mishaps. Yet, these two incidents had resulted in a massive loss for the electronic reconnaissance ship.

This maritime forbidden zone seemed rather sinister. No matter how careful they were, every time they entered this zone, they would encounter all sorts of misfortune. The captain even felt that if they continued forward, they might risk capsizing and all lives on board could be lost.

By this point, even the most stubborn captain couldn't gamble with the lives of himself and his crew. Disregarding the received orders, he commanded the ship to retreat, leaving the cursed sea area behind. Fortunately, the ship still had a portion of its auxiliary power available. With this power, the electronic reconnaissance ship finally exited the 1000-kilometer radius around Misty Island.

After the ship left the 1000-kilometer radius from Misty Island, the badly damaged propeller unexpectedly regained a bit of power and pushed the electronic reconnaissance ship farther away from the Misty Island sea area. Once they were 10 kilometers away from this territory, the ship's communication equipment successfully contacted the rear command center. The captain then reported his encounters back to rear command, requesting reinforcements, and from the command center, he also learned about the tragic fate of the Air Force reconnaissance aircraft pilot.

—————-

At the Hoover Dam Command Center, General Miller, who had still been hoping for the best, soon learned the intelligence from the second battlefield. Upon learning that the mission on the second battlefield had failed due to inexplicable reasons, he was struck with furious rage.

No matter how hard he tried, General Miller couldn't understand. His plan had been well-designed, taking all factors into account. The Destroyer himself and his mysterious aircraft had been lured to the United States mainland. In theory, as long as he could utilize the formidable combat power of the US Forces, he should have been able to detain the Destroyer and his mysterious aircraft in the United States. So why had everything gone contrary to his wishes? Not only had the Destroyer and his mysterious aircraft not been captured, but the US also suffered such immense losses. Could it be that the military strength of the United States had declined to such an extent? That they couldn't even handle a single Destroyer?

Moreover, wasn't Misty Island protected by the Destroyer and his mysterious aircraft alone? Since the Destroyer had been lured away by Miller's tactics, it should mean there would be no one left to block his exploration of Misty Island. So what exactly was happening now? Who was attacking his ships and planes in that so-called forbidden zone? Could it be that the protectors of Misty Island were not the Destroyer and his mysterious aircraft?

Or, could it be that the maritime forbidden zone truly existed and wasn't the work of the Destroyer and his mysterious aircraft causing trouble? If the forbidden zone was a natural phenomenon, then why could the transport ships of Misty Island safely enter the area, whereas the US warships and airplanes could not?

The more Miller thought, the more confused he became, the less he understood. He then remembered this plan had been his design and implementation. Not expecting such a big problem to arise, the United States paid a heavy price but gained nothing. As the initiator, he was sure to be held accountable. He was a renowned general, highly respected in the army; this failure meant he would lose everything, and he might even face a military court. Furthermore, his aspirations to leave a good name in the history of the United States were crushed, possibly becoming a villain vilified by future generations.

The more Miller thought, the sadder he became, the more distressed he felt, his breathing grew rapid, then he felt a piercing pain in his heart, followed by dizziness, and finally, everything went black before his eyes, and he spewed a mouthful of blood and collapsed. His subordinates, noticing something wrong, quickly caught the falling Miller, shouting loudly, “General, General, what's wrong with you…”

Unfortunately, General Miller would never hear anyone's words again. With multiple shocks, Miller's heart and brain malfunctioned; he was literally angered to death by the actions of Yan Fei. With his death, it conveniently allowed others to push him forward, making him the scapegoat.
