Five nautical miles...

Sasaki hesitated.

As the most elite force of the Japanese self-defense force, they should be loyal to the emperor. However, the current situation was very troublesome. At a distance of five nautical miles, they might be torn apart by the monster before they could even turn their engines.

"Captain! We have the right to give up this mission!"

"Captain, this dog captain wants to kill us! We're not naive!"

"I suggest that we return to the aircraft carrier first. The situation here is too dangerous. I suggest that we retreat temporarily."

...

Under the persuasion of a few of them, Sasaki's original opinion loosened. Sasaki stretched out his hand and said, "Since everyone has an opinion, we'll vote on it."

"Those who carry out the order put down their arms. Those who return to the aircraft carrier raise their hands and vote."

After saying that, Sasaki took the lead and raised his hand. The other team members also raised their hands.

"It's a unanimous vote. Return to the aircraft carrier!"

Seeing that everyone had agreed, Sasaki also smiled, so did everybody else.

Who would want to do that kind of mission that was guaranteed to kill them!

If he wants to be captain, then do it himself!

Sasaki did not waste any more words. He directly turned on the earpiece that he had just turned off and contacted the captain.

"We've given up on this mission. Return to the aircraft carrier and wait for orders."

At this moment, Sasaki was ready to press the button to return. But at this moment, the cockpit was unmoved. There was no movement. Seeing that it was not activated, the technician walked over curiously and checked the surroundings.

"There's no problem. The fuel tank, equipment, and engine are all normal."

The technician also had a puzzled look on his face. It was clearly fine just now. Why couldn't it be activated suddenly?

"Could it be that it can't be activated?"

At this moment, the Captain's voice came from Sasaki's earpiece.

"What do you mean?"

Sasaki's heart skipped a beat.

Because he knew that the Japanese government had a tradition of honorable death.

For example, during World War II, because the Japanese army did not have enough weapons to deal with the tanks, they invented one of the world's most retarded weapons, the Lunge Mine.

How retarded was the Lunge Mine? Very.

It was originally designed to immediately paralyze the tank and fill it with enough explosives to blow through the tank's armor or wheels. But at the same time, because it was too powerful, the user would also be included in the explosion range.

After using it, the user would die on the spot.

It was this kind of retarded weapon that caused many Japanese people to exchange their lives on the battlefield. They completely treated people as consumables. As such, this weapon was ranked as one of the top ten retarded weapons in the world.

In fact, that's far from the only retarded moves of the Japanese, with typical examples including the Kamikaze squad.

It could be said that the Japanese government's operations had always been so illogical and strange.

Now, when Sasaki faced the current captain, he suddenly had a bad premonition.

"You have not completed the mission, you are not allowed to return."

The captain's cold tone caused Sasaki's mood to drop to rock bottom.

"As a soldier of the emperor, I have the right to reject this mission!" All the self-defense unit soldiers obeyed the emperor, so Sasaki's words were not wrong.

"Please remember your identity, Sasaki-kun! You are a soldier, a soldier must obey orders!" The captain was not affected in the slightest. In his eyes, there was nothing more exciting than discovering an ancient creature.

"Now, immediately transmit the monster's ultra-clear image. Before the mission is completed, your speedboat will not return." The captain's words were equivalent to admitting that the captain was the one who caused the speedboat to be unable to return!

"What the F * ck! Bastard!"

Sasaki took off his earpiece and slammed it hard on the ground to express his anger.

All of this was because the captain wanted to obtain information on ancient creatures. Now, he did not care whether they were dead or alive. There was no turning back now.

At this moment, Sasaki panted heavily. He had never met such a bastard officer, such a bastard leader.

For the sake of these monsters, they were willing to give up their lives!

At this moment, the other team members also surrounded him. They had all heard what they had just said. Sasaki had turned on the loudspeaker mode, so they all knew.

At this moment, they were also cursing the captain. But after venting their emotions, the six of them fell silent.

Now, no one knew what to do next. There was no way back.

Going forward against a monster. They had no other choice.

"Captain... What should we do?"

Ito, the youngest in the team, spoke. Although everyone usually bullied him, this was also a sign of love for him.

At this moment, no one spoke. He chose to step forward and break the deadlock.

"What should we do? What if we die?"

"I say, the monsters don't care about our little possessions anyway. Why don't we just waste our time?"

"Captain, say the word. What do you think we should do?"

...

Everyone looked at each other, unable to make up their minds.

At this moment, Sasaki stood up. He silently picked up his earpiece from the ground.

This was military grade. Although he had used a lot of force, it was not broken.

"Is the disgusting guy still there?" Sasaki calmly said into the earpiece.

"What's wrong? You've thought it through." The captain's emotionless words came out of the earpiece.

"I want you to promise me that when we take a photo later, you will immediately let us go back." At this moment, Sasaki made a condition.

"Hehe, of course there's no problem. After you complete the mission, you will naturally be the glorious soldiers of the emperor. There's no reason not to welcome you." The captain smiled eerily, like a devil.

"Remember your words, I'll settle the score with you later!" Sasaki's left hand hung up the universal channel and switched to a private channel.

He turned around and said to everyone, "everyone, you all know the situation, so I won't waste any more words."

"Right now, we only have one way, and that is to go there and bring the information back."

Sasaki pointed in the direction of the cruiser.

"Since we have no choice, we can only fight!"

"Okay!"

"Alright!"

"I believe in your Captain!"

...

Looking at the surrounding team members who trusted him and put their lives in his hands, Sasaki felt extremely touched, but he forcefully suppressed it. These emotional fluctuations would greatly affect his subsequent judgment.

What they were about to do could not afford to have even the slightest mishap, so any personal emotional factors had to be abandoned.

He looked at the monster not far away and took a deep breath.

He kissed the picture on the necklace on his chest. It had his wife and daughter on it.

After one last look, his eyes quickly turned from warm to cold. He started the speedboat and looked ahead.

This might be the last mission of his life!
