As soon as she heard pirates were headed their way, Gu Nianzhi’s first reaction was to look to Wen Shouyi “Miss Wen! What’s going on here?!”
Wen Shouyi rushed to the side of the deck and looked out to the sea The white speedboat was getting closer and closer; she could now see the savage faces aboard the boat
“What on earth?!” Wen Shouyi’s hands tightened on the shi+p’s railing, her expression incredulous “Where are the guests I invited? That’s the speedboat I booked for them, I’m sure of it!”
If the people on the speedboat were not the guests she had invited, then where had all the guests gone?
Gu Nianzhi was about to say sorabbed hold of her ared her back to their suite on the third floor, where they had left their belongings
Once they were inside their roo and Yin shi+xiong He also sent thees
The dial tone sounded a few tian to play The singer sang a few lines of lyrics
“…They’re in the zethat the Special Ops soldiers were currently in the middle of a mission and could not answer the phone
Gu Nianzhi looked at hize was honest with her “Mr Huo is currently in the ent mission He can’t answer the phone”
Gu Nianzhi did not say anything
She knew that for Huo Shaoheng, his missions always caations as a soldier, and had never tried to
She had wished only to occupy a snificant place, just big enough to accommodate her
Gu Nianzhi lowered her head and looked at the box of gun parts Zhao Liangze had brought with him She said calmly, “We’ll just have to save ourselves, then”
Zhao Liangze sent an urgent e to the Special Operations Forces military base in C City of the Huaxia E had wrapped up their e to the the guns with Gu Nianzhi’s help
The gun parts he had brought with him could be asseht un There was also a box of bullets in the pocket compartment of his suitcase
The two of theuns
“Bulletproof vest Put it on” Zhao Liangze handed Gu Nianzhi a long bulletproof vest, before strapping on his own bulletproof vest
Gu Nianzhi took it, and went to the bathrooe She removed her dress, put on a T-shi+rt and shorts, and strapped on the bulletproof vest She asked as she walked out of the bathroom: “What if I fall into the sea?”
“Not a problem This is the most advanced bulletproof vest from our country, the latest tech—it works as a life jacket, too” Zhao Liangze winked at her
It was a joke Hoas he able to joke at a time like this? Gu Nianzhi did not know, but she was impressed by his mental fortitude He was truly one of the elite soldiers of the Special Operations Forces
The joke worked like a charze extracted a box of bullets from his suitcase pocket and loaded the bullets into a bandolier He wrapped it around Gu Nianzhi’s waist like a belt “Use thely These are all we have”
Gu Nianzhi took up a sniper rifle This was one of the guns Huo Shaoheng had trained her with
Zhao Liangze was armed with a un His waist and shoulders rapped in bandoliers; he looked formidable, like a hero out of an action o Tih to ze and Gu Nianzhi exited the cabin
Wen Shouyi paced restlessly before the door to their cabin When she saw the two of them come out of their roouns?!”
“Target shooting is uns withsharks while on this shi+p”
Wen Shouyi stared at Gu Nianzhi She did not believe a single word she had said, but noas not the tiical for theathered herself together and said, “You have weapons, good Let’s head to the ballrooht with us against the pirates”
She had just finished speaking when a stream of bullets punctured the side of the cruise shi+p
“Let’s go” Zhao Liangze led the way
The three of theht chefs and ten-odd sailors were already gathered there, fear written across their faces
As soon as he saw they chef in a white chef hat asked Wen Shouyi nervously: “Miss Wen, what’s going on? Who are those people?!”
Before Wen Shouyi could reply, someone shouted frolish: “They’re here!”
Gu Nianzhi turned to look What she saw made her pupils constrict with fear
The men had already climbed aboard the cruise shi+p!
These e assortuns: pistols, rifles, and even seuns!
It was obvious they were here to kill—theoff them was palpable
“Pirates! Run!” The chefs and sailors gathered inside the ballroom shouted and ran out the other exit, quick as rabbits
Once they were outside, they immediately jumped off the deck and into the sea!
Gu Nianzhi stared after the for their lives!
Zhao Liangze grabbed Gu Nianzhi’s hand, his handsoun with his other hand and unloaded on the pirates who had just rushed into the ballroo the pack iround
The other pirates immediately found places to hide So hit
Zhao Liangze turned, grabbed hold of Gu Nianzhi’s hand, and ran to the third floor
Wen Shouyi clenched her jaw Her eyes, ith shock, flickered between Gu Nianzhi and Zhao Liangze: these tere highly skilled shooters, and were able to remain calm in the face of a sudden attack by armed pirates Who were these people, really?
She did not have ti up to chase theze, up to the third floor
They were chased by a constant stream of bullets The brand new shi+p was now riddled with bullet holes
“Don’t bother running! There’s no escape!” The pirates cackled in savage glee behind them “Someone put a 10 million dollar bounty on your heads—dead or alive”
Zhao Liangze led Gu Nianzhi back to the suite on the third floor and pushed her head down behind the bed “Don’t et in here, jump into the sea”
“What about you?” Gu Nianzhi rejected his suggestion “I’ with you We can watch each other’s backs!”
Zhao Liangze hesitated
Unlike Yin shi+xiong and Huo Shaoheng, Zhao Liangze’s talents did not lie in melee and close quarters co with the Special Operations Forces The average person was no o take out a few of theze opened the door and found hiht vision goggles?” Wen Shouyi asked nervously “If you have them, I’ll turn off the les, they would be able to see the pirates, but the pirates would be coainst the pirates would be a lot higher
Zhao Liangze did not knohen theand send him to save them He did not kno skilled these pirates were, either; he had to use every advantage available to hio see how ze nodded to Wen Shouyi, before turning to Gu Nianzhi and giving her a Look
Gu Nianzhi winked at hize found his glasses and put theles They were also capable of recording and trans video
Wen Shouyi ran in the other direction and quickly shut the htly lit cruise shi+p was ize, arun, hid hie pillars within the shi+p as he crept through the shi+p floor by floor to investigate the number of pirates and where they were located He reported his findings to Gu Nianzhi as he went
Gu Nianzhi had put on a Bluetooth headset which also functioned as a walkie-talkie She listened to the report: “Second floor, seven pirates, scattered in the direction of three o’clock, seven o’clock and ten o’clock Third floor, nine pirates, scattered at five o’clock and nine o’clock Fourth floor… no pirates”
