Warlords: Rise of the System

Chapter 206: Refuge at Sea

Lu Tianhao quickly sat up. Just as he was about to get out of bed and go out, he suddenly heard the sound of the door being pushed open.

Then, the middle-aged man hurriedly walked into the room and said anxiously, "Young man, follow me! We have to go to the sea to seek refuge."

Lu Tianhao lifted the quilt and realized that he was only wearing underwear.

The middle-aged man quickly walked to a shabby wardrobe, opened the door, took out a set of clothes, and handed it to Lu Tianhao.

Lu Tianhao took a closer look and was surprised to find that it was actually his flight suit.

Under the constant urging of the middle-aged man, Lu Tianhao quickly put on the flight suit and followed the middle-aged man out of the wooden house.

Outside the wooden house, the female student was waiting anxiously. She looked at the door of the wooden house from time to time, her heart full of anxiety and worry.

Finally, when she saw Lu Tianhao and his father coming out, she immediately went up to them and said anxiously, "Let's go quickly, the bandits who are raiding the place are not far from us."

Lu Tianhao and the middle-aged man didn't say much, and the three of them ran quickly to the beach together.

In less than ten minutes, they arrived at the beach and quickly boarded a fishing boat anchored there.

There were already several people on the fishing boat at this time.

When one of them saw Lu Tianhao and the others boarding the boat, he shouted, "Hurry up and take your seats. We are leaving right away."

The fishing boat slowly rowed towards the sea.

Standing at the bow, Lu Tianhao looked ahead and saw that there were already quite a few fishing boats on the sea, heading towards the deep ocean.

The people on these fishing boats are all villagers from the nearby area. They all fled to the sea for refuge.

Looking towards the fishing village, you can vaguely see smoke rising in the distance.

If you listen carefully, you can occasionally hear one or two gunshots.

It seems that the enemy has begun to raid the fishing village.

As the fishing boat went farther and farther away, it finally disappeared on the sea.

The fishing boats stopped moving and anchored in the sea only when the fishing village in the distance could no longer be seen.

At this time, everyone on the fishing boat breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Tianhao asked in confusion, "Although we have avoided the enemy's sweep on land.

But this is the sea after all! If we encounter an enemy fleet, can our fishing boats escape?"

The middle-aged man said with a heavy face, "Once we encounter the pirate fleet, we can only leave it to fate.

However, during this period of time, whenever the bandits carried out raids on land, we would row our fishing boats to seek refuge on the sea.

If we discover the pirate fleet in advance, we will immediately return to land to hide.

As long as the bandits don't launch a joint land and sea raid, we'll be lucky enough to escape.

I hope we can have good luck this time too.”

Lu Tianhao was very grateful to this man. If he hadn't rescued him, he would probably have died at sea.

So he started chatting with the middle-aged man again and thanked him sincerely, "Uncle, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, I might have been buried in the sea a long time ago."

The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, young man.

I just saved your life.

By the way, I still don’t know your name.”

Lu Tianhao introduced himself, "Uncle, my name is Lu Tianhao. What's your last name?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "My last name is Zhao Yougui, and I'm a fisherman from a nearby fishing village."

Then, Lu Tianhao asked about the girl's situation again.

It turned out that the girl was Zhao Yougui's only daughter, named Zhao Yarou, eighteen years old, and had studied at Haicheng Girls' School.

Before the bandits captured Haicheng, Zhao Yougui received the news and took his daughter back to the fishing village in advance.

Zhao Yarou's mother died of heavy bleeding during childbirth.

Zhao Yarou, who lost her mother at a young age, was raised by her father.

Zhao Yougui loved his daughter very much, so he sent her to a girls' school.

At this point, Zhao Yougui showed a hint of pride on his face, "My daughter is smart and has always done well in school. The teachers all praise her."

After hearing this, Lu Tianhao couldn't help but sigh at the greatness of this father.

He thought that such a kind family deserved a happy life.

After getting to know Lu Tianhao, Zhao Yougui finally couldn't resist his curiosity and asked the question he had always wanted to ask, "You should be a pilot, right?"

Lu Tianhao looked at his flight suit and nodded, "Yes, I am a pilot of the National Salvation Army.

I didn’t expect that my plane would be severely damaged during the battle with the enemy planes, and I had no choice but to make an emergency landing on the sea.”

When everyone heard that Lu Tianhao was a pilot of the National Salvation Army, they all showed surprise on their faces.

You know, today's National Salvation Army is a heroic force in the eyes of the people across the country, especially the young people, who admire the National Salvation Army even more.

Zhao Yarou, who had been listening quietly, also asked, "I heard that your National Salvation Army is very powerful and has defeated the bandits and the multinational coalition forces. Is this true?"

Lu Tianhao smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course it's true.

In this air battle with the bandits and the multinational coalition forces alone, we shot down more than 2000 of their planes.

The number of National Salvation Army aircraft lost was definitely no more than 500.

If I hadn't been careless, my plane would never have been seriously damaged."

Hearing the news, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

They lived by the sea and were relatively isolated from the news, so they didn't know much about the war.

Now that everyone had heard from Lu Tianhao that the National Salvation Army had achieved such brilliant results in the air, their hearts were filled with pride.

Lu Tianhao continued, "The National Salvation Army has already recovered three provinces. It won't be long before they recover more lost territory."

Zhao Yarou spoke again, "I met a classmate of mine two days ago, and I got some bad news from her.

My classmates said that the plane piloted by your National Salvation Army’s commander-in-chief had an accident in the air and his commander-in-chief landed in the enemy-occupied area.

This time, the bandits' large-scale raid seems to be aimed at the commander-in-chief of your National Salvation Army.

They want to capture your commander alive.

Brother Lu, did your commander really fly a plane and engage in aerial combat with the enemy?"

Lu Tianhao nodded, "Yes, our commander personally participated in this aerial battle.

It is also true that he landed in enemy territory.

But I believe he will be able to escape.”

There was worry on everyone's face.

At this moment, a loud shout came from a fishing boat ahead, "Oh no! The enemy fleet is coming our way."
