Chapter 661 - Pirates (1/2)
As precaution, the Human Alliance would send people here to clean things up every year. People who died or disappeared in the process were beyond count.
The Abyssal Ocean was a place just like its name suggested. What Qin Feng saw was just the tip of the iceberg.
Qin Feng led his men back into the vessel. They planned to submerge once again.
On the other side, men on Bai Wei’s vessel were stunned. One of his subordinates asked carefully, “Sir, are we still tailing them?”
As he watched Qin Feng’s submarine disappear from the sea surface, he shook his head. Bai Wei did not dare to explore an area full of Devil Sharks.
“Why should we? What benefit would I get?”
There was indeed nothing left for him to pluck. As such, Bai Wei decided to turn back. He wondered whether Qin Feng would start manufacturing vessels in the East Sea. If so, he was willing to rent one even if it was expensive. The firepower of the vessel was something to behold.
Qin Feng’s vessel continued to wander in the unknown sea. A deep-sea vessel could stay under the sea for half-a-month without the need to replenish. However, Qin Feng did not plan to stay here all day.
Besides, the crew on board was hired at a hefty cost. He would need to replace them once they returned to the shore. Qin Feng did not mind spending the money but he was unwilling to help feed other people’s men.
Deep-sea Feng Li rampaged through the rough Abyssal Ocean. The C-tier gunners onboard were spirited and hunted eagerly.
In less than half a day, Qin Feng had earned enough to cover the crew’s salary and obtained ample materials.
The vessel resurfaced again with the loots.
Before they were completely out on the sea surface, an alarm began to ring on the scanner.
“It’s an SOS signal!”
“There’s an unknown vessel detected by the sonar!”
“Sir, I suspect it’s the Dark Coalition. What should we do?” The C-tier gunners were nervous.
The vessels of the Dark Coalition were often custom-made and privately owned. As such, their ships were constantly upgraded and perfected. In contrast, deep-sea vessels of other aptitude users were usually rented. As a result, the Dark Coalition’s vessels normally had a huge advantage over theirs.
Hence, aptitudes users in the ocean often avoided confrontation with members of the Dark Coalition.
However, right now, they had no other choice but to fight them.
“Are they pirates? Which faction do they belong to?” Qin Feng asked calmly.
Power factions that were active around this ocean were only that few. Qin Feng could count them out with one hand.
One of the crew members acted swiftly and dispatched a waterproof drone. It glided through the sea surface and transmitted the live-feed back to the submarine’s display.
Qin Feng’s crew immediately recognized the party this submarine belonged to at one glance.
Sun Tianyuan immediately reported, “Master Qin, it’s the Sea Devil. They belong to a dark organization named none other than the Sea Devil. It was jointly established by three B-tier aptitude users. At least two B-tiers would be on board every time they are out on the sea. Their leaders are B4-tier ice ability user Chen Sha, B3-tier water ability user Wang Yangying, and B1-tier ancient warrior Yang Qian.”
Sun Tianyuan’s face turned extremely pale. He was trembling out of fear. The Sea Devil was one of the most frightening pirate groups in this Abyssal Ocean.
Three B-tiers on one vessel was astonishing. They might not earn enough by hunting beasts but it was a different story if they were to hunt and rob other users.
Members of the Dark Coalition were famous for their merciless and cruel nature. There was basically no escape once you bump into them.
“Governor, let’s retreat now. Perhaps they still haven’t detected us,” He Jia said nervously.
The best way out of this was to stay unnoticed and flee as quickly as possible.
Qin Feng frowned and said coldly, “What’s there to be afraid of? There are only two B-tiers. Ascend and blast at them!”
“Er…”
“Sir, they will take revenge if we provoke them.”
“It’s unwise to do so. Guns are just… guns.”
