As soon as she heard pirates, Gu Nianzhi's first reaction was to look at Wen Shouyi, "Teaching Assistant Wen, what's going on?!"
Wen Shouyi rushed to the side of the boat and looked into the distance. The white speedboat was getting closer, and she could already see the hideous faces of the people on board.
"Oh no!" Wen Shouyi gripped the side of the boat, her face full of disbelief, "Where are the guests I invited? I ordered this speedboat for them! "
If the people on the speedboat weren't the guests she had invited, then where were they?
Gu Nianzhi wanted to say something, but Zhao Liangze had already grabbed her by the arm and dragged her back to the suite on the third floor.
Once inside, Zhao Liangze grabbed his phone to call and text Huo Shaoheng and Yin Shixiong.
The phone rang a few times, but no one picked up. Then music started and someone sang a few lines.
"… They're on a mission," Zhao Liangze murmured.
This was a code to indicate that they were on a mission and didn't have time to answer the phone.
Gu Nianzhi turned to look at him, "Brother Ze, what did you say?"
Zhao Liangze didn't hide it from her, "Huo Shao and the others are on an urgent mission, so they can't answer the phone."
Gu Nianzhi didn't say anything else.
She knew that in Huo Shaoheng's heart, his mission was always number one, and she would never be able to compete with his mission. However, she had never thought of competing with his mission either.
She only hoped that she could occupy a small corner of his heart, a small place for her to stay.
Gu Nianzhi looked down at the disassembled guns in Zhao Liangze's box and said calmly, "Ok, then let's save ourselves."
Zhao Liangze sent an urgent message to the Huaxia Imperial Special Operations Forces base in C City. When Huo Shao and the others were done with their mission, the base would relay the message.
He hung up and began assembling the guns with Gu Nianzhi.
The parts he had brought this time could be assembled into an M16 sniper rifle and an M1941 semi-automatic submachine gun. The bullets were in the compartment of the box.
Neither of them spoke again as they quickly assembled the two guns and held them in their hands.
"Go put on the bulletproof vest." Zhao Liangze handed a bulletproof vest to Gu Nianzhi and put on another bulletproof vest for himself.
Gu Nianzhi took it and went to the bathroom to take off her long dress. She changed into a T-shirt and shorts, then put on a bulletproof vest. As she walked out, she asked, "What if I fall into the sea?"
"It's okay. This is the latest bulletproof vest developed by our country. It can also be worn as a life vest. "Zhao Liangze winked at her.
Gu Nianzhi had to hand it to the elites of the Special Operations Forces for being able to laugh at a time like this.
However, her own restless heart also calmed down.
Zhao Liangze took the bullets out of the suitcase and put them into the magazine. He wrapped it around Gu Nianzhi's waist like a belt. "Use them sparingly. There won't be any left after you use them."
Gu Nianzhi was holding an M16 sniper rifle. It was a type of gun that she often practiced with Huo Shaoheng.
Zhao Liangze held a more lethal semi-automatic submachine gun. Clips were wrapped around his waist and shoulders. He looked insufferably arrogant and awe-inspiring.
"Let's go and see which pirates are so blind." Zhao Liangze and Gu Nianzhi walked out.
Wen Shouyi wandered in front of their door. When she saw the two of them walking out fully armed, her jaw almost dropped. "… You actually have guns?!"
"My hobby is shooting." Gu Nianzhi said casually. "I originally wanted to shoot sharks on the cruise ship."
Wen Shouyi glared at Gu Nianzhi. She didn't believe a word she said, but at this time, they should be united against a common enemy.
She composed herself and said, "Since you have weapons, that's much better. Let's go to the banquet hall. The chefs and sailors are all there. We can mobilize them to fight the pirates with us."
As soon as she finished speaking, they heard the sound of bullets hitting the side of the cruise ship.
"Let's go." Zhao Liangze walked out first.
The three of them went to the banquet hall on the second floor. Seven or eight chefs and a dozen sailors were waiting there with terrified expressions.
Seeing them arrive, a fat chef wearing a long white hat asked Wen Shouyi nervously, "Miss Wen, what's going on? Who are those people?! "
Before Wen Shouyi could answer, chaotic English with an accent came from outside the banquet hall. "They're here!"
Gu Nianzhi turned to look, and her pupils couldn't help contracting.
Those people had actually climbed from the speedboat to the cruise ship!
All of them were black and held all kinds of guns in their hands. There were pistols, rifles, and semi-automatic submachine guns!
They rushed in with murderous intent.
"They really are pirates! Run! " The chefs and sailors in the banquet hall shouted and ran like rabbits to the other exit of the banquet hall.
Then these people threw caution to the wind and jumped into the sea from the other side of the ship!
Gu Nianzhi was dumbfounded. — — These people are really quick in escaping!
Zhao Liangze grabbed Gu Nianzhi's hand. His handsome face was cold and stern as he held the semi-automatic submachine gun in his other hand. He fired a volley of bullets at the pirates who had just rushed into the banquet hall.
The pirates running at the front immediately fell to the ground.
The other pirates immediately found a place to hide or lay on the ground.
Zhao Liangze turned and pulled Gu Nianzhi to run to the third floor.
Wen Shouyi gritted her teeth, her eyes darting between Gu Nianzhi and Zhao Liangze in shock. Their marksmanship was so good, and they were so fearless in the face of the sudden appearance of fully armed pirates. Who were these two people?
But when she turned to see the pirates getting up and chasing them, she also ran to the third floor with Gu Nianzhi and Zhao Liangze.
Bullets kept falling behind them, and the brand-new hull was full of holes.
"Stop running! You can't escape! " The pirates' sinister laughter came from behind them. "Someone offered 10 million US dollars for your heads, dead or alive."
Zhao Liangze pulled Gu Nianzhi back to the suite on the third floor and pressed her to the back of the bed in the bedroom. "Stay here and don't move. If they rush in, jump into the sea."
"What about you?" Gu Nianzhi refused. "I'll go with you, we can take care of each other!"
Zhao Liangze was hesitant.
He was different from Yin Shixiong and Huo Shaoheng. His strength had never been hand-to-hand combat.
However, he had undergone high-intensity training in the Special Operations Forces, and most people were no match for him.
"Wait here, I'll go out and kill a few." Zhao Liangze opened the door to find Wen Shouyi standing there.
"Do you have night vision goggles?" Wen Shouyi asked nervously. "If you do, I'll go turn off the power on the ship."
This way, the pirates would be out in the open, and they would be in the dark.
Zhao Liangze didn't know when the base would be able to contact Huo Shaoheng to rescue them, nor did he know how strong the pirates were. He had to use all the advantages he could.
"Go turn off the power. I'll go see how many people there are." Zhao Liangze nodded to Wen Shouyi, then turned to Gu Nianzhi and gave her a look.
Gu Nianzhi blinked at him to show that she understood.
Zhao Liangze took out his glasses and put them on.
His glasses could not only be used as night vision goggles, but also for video storage and transmission.
Wen Shouyi ran in the other direction and quickly turned off the cruise's main power.
The brightly lit cruise ship was suddenly plunged into darkness.
Zhao Liangze held a semi-automatic submachine gun and used the thick pillars of the cruise ship as cover. He counted the movements and numbers of the pirates one by one as he spoke to Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi also put on her Bluetooth headset and heard Zhao Liangze report, "Second floor, seven pirates, scattered in the three o 'clock, seven o' clock, and ten o 'clock directions. Third floor, nine pirates, scattered in the five o 'clock and nine o' clock directions. Fourth floor … no pirates. "
That meant there were at least 16 pirates on this speedboat.
Gu Nianzhi calmly reloaded the sniper rifle and whispered, "I'll go to the second floor. You take care of the third floor, then we'll meet up on the fourth floor." She then put on the night vision goggles and slipped out of the cabin.
She went down to the banquet hall on the second floor and put on the night vision goggles. She saw a few pirates wandering around the banquet hall, looking for something.
Gu Nianzhi set up the sniper rifle and crouched down. She used the railing on the dance floor as cover and aimed at the three pirates in the three o 'clock direction.
Bang, bang, bang!
Three shots rang out. Gu Nianzhi was like a moving target with Huo Shaoheng at the base. She neatly took out the three pirates.
This was the first time she had shot a real person. She didn't know if she had killed them, but she wasn't afraid or nervous at all. Instead, she felt an indescribable sense of excitement.
After three shots, Gu Nianzhi held the sniper rifle and rolled to the other side of the railing to hide before the other side could retaliate.
The remaining four pirates raised their semi-automatic submachine guns and madly attacked the direction Gu Nianzhi had been shooting at. The bullets almost turned the position Gu Nianzhi had been in into a beehive.
But Gu Nianzhi had already turned behind them.
She calmly raised the gun and aimed from behind them. She saw red moving figures in the night vision goggles. In her eyes, these people were no longer people.
Gu Nianzhi pulled the trigger and shot one at a time. She calmly took down all four pirates.
Of course, her marksmanship wasn't as accurate as Huo Shaoheng and the others. She couldn't kill them with one shot, but it was easy for her to temporarily immobilize them.
"The seven pirates on the second floor are dealt with. Over, "Gu Nianzhi said quietly.
Zhao Liangze's voice came through the earpiece. "The nine pirates on the third floor are all killed. Over." He paused. "Meet up on the fourth floor."
Gu Nianzhi nodded. "Right away."
She ran to the stairs and quickly reached the third floor. She glanced around and saw that there were indeed a few people lying in the hallway.
Gu Nianzhi didn't stop and ran up the stairs to the fourth floor.
The fourth floor was the highest floor of the cruise ship. It was also an open-air playground.
As soon as Gu Nianzhi stepped out of the stairwell, she was almost swept away by a gust of wind.
She quickly grabbed the railing and whispered, "Brother Ze, where are you?"
"Behind the swimming pool diving platform."
Gu Nianzhi looked up.
There was originally a round moon in the sky. The moonlight was beautiful and covered the surface of the sea in silver.
But now, the wind had swept in dark clouds and covered the entire moon. The surface of the sea was extremely dark and turbulent. There was a sense of urgency as if a storm was brewing.
Gu Nianzhi's eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
She crouched down and felt her way in the direction of the swimming pool diving platform.
Fortunately, she and Zhao Liangze had been there all afternoon and had memorized the location.
The two of them met up. Zhao Liangze patted her head and asked quietly, "Are you scared?"
"No." Gu Nianzhi shook her head. "I can't embarrass Uncle Huo."
"You did well. If you were one of us, you'd have already done a good job." Zhao Liangze praised her softly and pulled her to stand beside him.
Gu Nianzhi was still a bit uncomfortable. She couldn't believe it was over just like that.
If the pirates were telling the truth, and someone had offered 10 million US dollars for their heads, then it wouldn't be just these amateur pirates.
"Gu Nianzhi? Gu Nianzhi? Aren't you here? "Wen Shouyi's voice suddenly sounded from the stairwell.
Gu Nianzhi and Zhao Liangze opened their night vision goggles and looked over.
There was a glimmer of light from the stairwell. Wen Shouyi walked over with a flashlight.
Zhao Liangze frowned and said coldly, "Turn off the flashlight! Do you want to be a target?! "
Wen Shouyi quickly turned off the flashlight and ran in their direction. She said, "I see you've already killed all the pirates. I was just about to ask if you wanted to turn on the power." Wen Shouyi ran to their side and said, "I've already called the police, but this place is a bit far from the United States. The Coast Guard won't be able to get here anytime soon."
Gu Nianzhi looked at her coldly and said disdainfully, "You sure ran fast, Teaching Assistant Wen. The pirates were killed, but you're unscathed."
"That's because you're good." Wen Shouyi smiled at Gu Nianzhi fawningly. "I didn't know you had such a great hobby. Professor He will be so happy when he gets back and hears about this."
Gu Nianzhi was about to speak when the cruise ship suddenly jolted.
She lost her balance and quickly grabbed the pole of the swimming pool's diving platform.
Zhao Liangze stood behind her to protect her.
"What happened?" Wen Shouyi looked back in surprise.
Just then, a figure darted out from the stairwell. He was so dark that they didn't notice him immediately.
By the time they noticed him, the person was already not far in front of them. He raised his gun and fired several shots.
It all happened too quickly.
In a flash, Wen Shouyi flew in front of Gu Nianzhi to shield her. Zhao Liangze raised his semi-automatic submachine gun and fired a burst of bullets. The person turned into a beehive and fell into the swimming pool. Blood quickly dyed the pool red, but the night was too dark for them to see anything.
Gu Nianzhi's heart tightened as she watched Wen Shouyi sway and fall in front of her. She quickly bent down to support her. "Teaching Assistant Wen? Teaching Assistant Wen? What happened to you? "
Zhao Liangze turned on the small flashlight and was shocked to see Wen Shouyi's left chest near her shoulder.
She had been shot.
Gu Nianzhi laid Wen Shouyi flat on the ground and said to Zhao Liangze, "I'll go get the first aid kit!"
Zhao Liangze always brought these things with him when he went out, but they were in the cabin on the third floor.
He nodded. "Be careful. That person just now was probably the fish that escaped the net. "He then asked Gu Nianzhi," Did you not kill all the pirates on the second floor? "
Gu Nianzhi said sullenly, "I don't know if they're dead or not, but I took them all out."
Zhao Liangze sighed. "Go get the first aid kit on the third floor. I'll go to the second floor." He then walked ahead of Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi looked back at Wen Shouyi and saw that she was unconscious. She should be fine for now.
She hurried back to the third floor cabin and found the first aid kit in Zhao Liangze's suitcase. When she returned to the fourth floor, she saw that Zhao Liangze had already returned.
He nodded to Gu Nianzhi. "There were seven people on the second floor. Three are dead, and the other three are still alive. I shot them all. One person is missing. It should be the one who chased us to the fourth floor. I don't know why he took it so hard. "
If he had played dead on the second floor, Gu Nianzhi and Zhao Liangze wouldn't have thought of shooting him again.
Gu Nianzhi didn't say a word and half-knelt down to treat Wen Shouyi's wound.
She definitely couldn't remove the bullet now, but a simple bandage was enough to stop the bleeding.
As she bandaged Wen Shouyi's wound, the sea breeze grew stronger. The entire cruise ship rocked in the wind and waves like a small boat in the middle of a vast ocean.
Zhao Liangze stood up and walked to the side of the ship to look out.
In the wind and waves, several speedboats were approaching them from all directions.
As expected, they hadn't killed all the pirates. The more powerful ones were still to come!
Zhao Liangze pursed his lips tightly. His palms were sweaty.
Suddenly, he heard his phone ring. He quickly answered the call with his Bluetooth headset and lowered his voice. "We're in danger! We've encountered pirates! "
It was Huo Shaoheng who had called after completing his mission.
He stood on the coast of Cuba and looked at the stormy waters. The haze in his heart was heavier than the storm before him.
