Team China's warship continued its relentless journey, barely acknowledging the presence of Team East Sea's fleet, adjusting its course toward the Fishing Islands. Along the way, the storm intensified, becoming a once-in-a-century spectacle of towering waves and endless rain, with lightning streaking across the sky, even striking the destroyer's equipment. The scene appeared as if the heavens and earth were on the verge of collapse. This spectacle left not only Team China in awe but also the seasoned naval soldiers, making the destroyer's voyage across the sea seem as precarious as a small boat.
"It's terrifying," one veteran remarked. "In all my years of service on warships, I've never seen such a fearsome storm. It's truly a perfect storm."
