84 Captain Dongmei (2/2)
Dongmei didn't bother by them as they expected and passed by without even looking at their scared faces. She reached the railing at the further back, her view showing endless waters. There was no Badu island in her sight anymore as it was hidden behind the horizon but there was a small boat approaching them from the distance. It was definitely much faster than their ship and she could see it getting closer with each second.
'Come boys… I will give you a warm welcome.' Dongmei thought as she waved towards the boat before looking back, seeing the Captain approaching with a few more men behind him. She didn't wait and ordered the closest sailor with a rifle still hanging behind his back, ”Give me your rifle.”
The sailor was momentarily stunned when he heard her but looking back at their Captain and seeing him nod, he passed the rifle to her. He was just about to explain how to handle a gun properly when he saw her flipping the rifle around as she checked its weight, size and quickly adjusted it so it could fit her arm length perfectly.
Flipping it one more time in the air, she caught it midair with one hand, clicking the button for magazine ejecting at the same time. It flew out immediately but she caught it with a second hand, quickly counting how many rounds she had before skillfully putting it back inside.
She looked at the rifle all around once again before commenting, ”Standard automatic M4A1 5.56mm with an extended magazine and the newest barrel alignment. Not bad as a rifle but you should clean it properly, especially when you guys are often sailing in the sea.

When she asked that question to the sailor, he couldn't help but gulp, seeing how sharp and skillful she was in handling a gun. The others who saw her also exclaimed in awe in their minds, finding her too perfect. Not only was she a beauty but also experienced and brave, recalling her previous jumping stunt.
Seeing him not replying, Dongmei raised her voice as her face turn cold and yelled like an officer to a private, ”I asked if you understand!?” The sailor instantly returned back to his senses hearing her turn back into her scary self and replied back, standing on attention, ”Yes Miss!”
She glared at others gathered around her and she didn't have to say anything as they all straightened their backs and repeated, ”Yes, Miss!”
She didn't lose her domineering attitude and ordered while showing her finger to the side, ”Good! Now prepare your rifles and get into the line near the railings! You have one minute! If I see anyone not prepared by that time, he better pray he can fly as he will be thrown off the ship! Did everyone get it!?”
”Yes, Miss!” Suddenly everyone forgot the Captain was right behind them and they all felt it was right to listen to her, doing exactly what she said. Even the Captain himself who grabbed a rifle himself began copying others as well.
Seeing everyone so good at listening, Dongmei smiled as she thought, 'I guess they are not as hard to manage as I thought. I guess I didn't need the Captain at all.' Now it was only time to greet her dear guards with some love.
...….
As they continued to rush with their boat, one of the guards shouted while looking at the ship through the binoculars, ”I can see Miss! She is standing on the stern of the ship now!”
”Give me those!” Hearing the guard shout, the Shadow quickly took over the binoculars to confirm the information while still sailing with the boat and actually saw Dongmei waving at them.
”I guess Miss wants us to come on board. She already noticed us and she is observing.” Shadow quickly concluded and he continued to sail towards the ship with a much better mood. As long as Dongmei was alive and nothing happened to her, they could still be spared. He didn't think they would be forgiven by Guan Dong if Dongmei got hurt.
Earlier he had to argue with the Chief Warden to lend them a boat and only thanks to Guan Dong influence was he able to get one of the Badu Island's patrol boats. Just as was about to put away the binoculars, he spotted their Miss holding a rifle before juggling it around.
He did frown cause of it but still stayed on their path, speeding towards them as he did before. Only after a minute or so, when they closed the distance, did he realise what Dongmei's real plan was.
”Fuck!” Shadow couldn't help but curse as he momentarily changed his course. Right after he did so, he saw tens of bullets hitting the water right where his boat wound be if he didn't turn.
Only after that did he hear numerous gunshots of the Assault Rifles, most of them shot at the same time which made the sounds too similar to count how many were shot.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
