There was a man on the shore. He had an aura as majestic as a mountain. He stood in the darkness like a waiting reef. No matter how high the waves were, he didn't move an inch.
He turned on his waterproof watch. His slender fingers gently pressed on the dial. The watch glowed with a faint green light, illuminating a few sets of numbers. One of the numbers showed "21: 18: 47".
It took two and a half hours to fly from the military airport to the Double Moon Reef Island. They should be there soon.
As more and more people came ashore, the man turned off the night light on his watch. He stood straight in front of everyone, his gaze slowly sweeping across the crowd.
It was clearly dark, but his eyes were like the eyes of a beast that could glow. There was an extremely sharp light flashing through his eyes.
A sense of oppression followed. Everyone who was already exhausted maintained their straight posture, motionless as he inspected them with his gaze.
He didn't say anything. Everyone stood like that, motionless, as if they would stand together until dawn.
The clear moon in the sky was dotted with stars.
On the surface of the sea, the waves rose and fell without end. The monotonous sound of the rising and falling tides was like the applause of tens of thousands of people, applauding this group of soldiers guarding the borders of the motherland.
After about twenty minutes, when the ink-like seawater slapped higher and the sound of the waves grew louder, the sound of propellers blended into the monotonous sound of the sea. The man standing in front said, "Turn back!"
His voice was like the blooming of the first snow, with the most primitive coldness. It was so cold that it seemed to have rubbed the snow into his heart. Every word was extremely cold.
Everyone turned around and faced the sea. Their eyes looked up at the sky in unison.
The man standing beside them pressed a button on the side of the dial. A light source lit up at 12 o 'clock, 4 o' clock, and 8 o 'clock. This was a signal to the aircraft on the helicopter that was flying over, letting the helicopter pilot know their specific location.
"Confirm location. Prepare to launch." The helicopter pilot with earmuffs received the ground signal and reported the distance between the ground and the sea, as well as the aircraft's signal, to the two crew members behind him.
"Distance 600 meters, 400 meters, 300 meters …"
As the helicopter pilot accurately reported the distance, everyone standing on the coast saw a military helicopter gradually enlarging from the size of a petrel until it stopped above them.
The strong wind from the propellers blew, blowing up the seawater and sand. It blew on all the resolute faces facing the sea.
In less than a minute, their wet combat uniforms were covered in fine sand. Their faces, eyebrows, and eyelashes looked like they were wearing sand masks. It was impossible to tell who was who.
Sand got into their eyes, causing them to feel sore and painful. The sea breeze blew past their eyes, bringing with it a strange itch as if thousands of ants had crawled into their clothes and crawled over their bodies. Still, no one moved. They maintained their straight posture and used their torch-like eyes to stare ahead, protecting every inch of land behind them.
"Open the hatch and launch." On the plane, the helicopter pilot skillfully operated the helicopter, keeping the entire fuselage stationary in the air. After confirming the dropping altitude, he began to drop the items.
The man who spoke coldly walked in front of them and looked at the helicopters dropping supplies with his comrades. It seemed that this time, thanks to Ye Jian, the supplies were delivered three days earlier than planned.
