In the battle on the deck, Neutron Star clearly had the upper hand. Although the scarred pirate was tall and looked fierce, he was being forced to retreat. 【Love ↑ Go △ Small ↓ Say △ Net

"Walijigu!"
However, the pirates would not let their leader fight alone. A Level-38 black pirate who had just climbed up shouted in a language that Feng Luo did not understand. He raised his AK-47 and fired a string of bullets at Neutron Star.
"Xiu!"
“-1201”
However, just as he pulled the trigger, an ice arrow hit the back of his hand, causing him to loosen his finger on the trigger in pain. The AK47 that had just fired seven or eight bullets suddenly stopped firing.
Bang!
“1899！”
Immediately after, an armor-piercing bullet came from the left side of the deck, directly piercing the throat of the black pirate. After the blood-red fatal damage, all that was left was a corpse.
The shot wasn't fired by Feng Luo. From his position, he wouldn't be able to hit the pirate's throat.
Therefore, the person who shot was naturally Black Panther.
The Black Panther hid in a hidden position on the deck, raising his sniper rifle and shooting every few seconds, each bullet taking the head of a pirate.
As for Glazed Ice, after helping Neutron Star, she quickly released a skill that caused a large amount of seawater to flow backwards, overturning the hovercraft that the pirates were using to sneak up on the cruise ship. One of the pirates who had yet to climb up fell into the sea and was killed by her two skills.
White Crescent, who was carrying a Battlefield Medic Kit, quickly ran behind Neutron Star and threw a Healing Pack at him. Neutron Star's HP, which had dropped to two-thirds, was instantly restored to almost full.
The scar-faced pirate leader, who was already an arrow at the end of its flight, was hit by a red fireball the size of a head from afar, devouring the last bit of his HP.
When all the players on the ship joined the battle, the battle on the ship quickly came to an end.
Three of the NPC crew members on the cruise ship had died in battle, and six were injured. Among them, two were heavily injured. In total, only ten NPC crew members still had combat strength.
However, a total of twenty pirates were all killed.
But the trouble wasn't over yet. More accurately, it had just begun!
Red Queen looked at the sea behind the ship. Although her expression was as cold as ever, the slight frown on her face revealed her true feelings.
About three kilometers behind the cruise ship, they could see a pirate ship that was twice the size of Gray Wing. It seemed to be an abandoned warship that had been modified into a pirate ship. It was approaching at high speed.
There were many pirates in the Gray Sea.
They were entrenched on some islands deep in the ocean, robbing passenger and cargo ships that passed by. They did things similar to the rebel army, kidnapping players or NPCs as hostages and extorting money from the federal government.
The government forces of the Federation had sent out aircraft carriers to wipe them out several times, but they had never been able to completely wipe them out. The number of pirates in the gray waters had never decreased.
This was mainly because the federal government did not have absolute control over the entire planet.
Although the federal government had been established for more than 30 years, the various non-government armed forces still controlled more than 40% of the territory. This was also the reason why the rebel army dared to directly attack the federal government's cities and towns.
Many of the pirates in the Gray Waters had the support of non-governmental armed forces. Some of them even belonged to such illegal forces, so it was impossible for the federal government to completely wipe them out.
Of course, this was the background information found on the game's official website.
In fact, a more reasonable explanation was that the game company had deliberately set it this way.
There were many islands and seas in the Gray Waters that had not yet been explored. The monsters inside would drop many rare and special materials and items. After finding a place and plundering it, the rewards would definitely be great. Therefore, to increase the difficulty, the system had specially set up the threshold of pirates.
As the saying went, the greater the reward, the higher the risk.
"Can we shake them off if the cruise ship goes at maximum speed?"
Big Pineapple asked as he observed the pirate ship behind him with the military binoculars he had used the day before.
"No, the pirate ships have all been specially modified with power systems. Their estimated speed is already close to 40 knots. Our ship's maximum speed is only 35 knots. There's no way we can shake them off."
The bearded NPC chief officer shook his head. He had a gunshot wound on his arm and was hanging from his neck after it was bandaged.
Knots was a special unit of speed. One knot was equivalent to 85 kilometers per hour.
"Then, aren't we doomed?"
Big Pineapple asked as he looked at Red Queen behind him.
Although the distance was a little far, he couldn't see it clearly with binoculars.
However, judging from the size of the pirate ship, it could carry at least seventy to eighty people, or even a hundred people. After all, the pirates must have a supply point nearby, so there was no need to travel far. The ship did not need to carry too much food, so it could carry a lot of people.
From the looks of it, even if they had killed 20 pirates, and the average level of these pirates was only around Level 35, it would not be easy to deal with nearly a hundred of them.
What was more troublesome was that the ship chasing them was a pirate ship that had been modified from a warship. The heavy weapons on the ship would only be more numerous than those on the cruise ship. No matter how strong the seven of them were individually, they would definitely be at a disadvantage against a large number of heavy weapons.
Heavy Weapon was what players called weapons that couldn't be disassembled into their bags and had to be mounted on vehicles.
For example, the six-barreled electromagnetic machine gun installed on the energy military vehicle, the small energy cannon installed on the Tiger mecha, the small missile launcher, and so on.
Similarly, the 40mm close-range cannons on the cruise ship belonged to this category of weapons.
Most of these weapons were very powerful and had terrifying area-of-effect lethality or destructive abilities. With the current strength of the players, it was almost impossible to face them head-on.
For example, the six-barreled electromagnetic machine gun on the energy military vehicle of the rebel army would only need five or six shots to kill an ordinary player above Level 40. Moreover, it had an automatic ammunition supply system. As long as there were enough bullets, it would be a powerful weapon of mass destruction.
However, the power of heavy weapons would be limited when controlled by players. When PKing with other players or attacking monsters above the Commander grade, the damage would be forcefully reduced. Therefore, professions such as Mecha Pilots were not invincible.
However, the ones controlling these heavy weapons were pirates. They could unleash the full power of the heavy weapons. Therefore, against this pirate ship, the players' chances of victory were not high.
"No, we still have a chance!" Red Queen said in a low voice.
"I've read on the forum before," Big Pineapple said. "Although these kinds of pirates that encounter at sea are also humanoid monsters, they are not as fearless as the rebel army. Generally speaking, as long as the number of deaths exceeds 75 percent, they will choose to escape. "
"75 percent?" Big Pineapple frowned. "We probably can't fight them!"
75 percent. Excluding the 20 they had killed earlier, they would probably need to kill at least 40 to 50 more.
However, in a situation where the other party had many heavy weapons, even if they could kill that many, they would still be crippled. They would definitely not be able to complete the next mission.
"No, we can fight. There is a hidden setting. Every time we kill an Elite grade pirate leader, the percentage will decrease by five percent. If we can kill the captain of the pirate, we can even decrease it by 10 percent! "
Red Queen said calmly.
"If it were other professions, we might not be able to do anything. But if it's a Sniper, we can specifically target the Elite among them. If we're lucky, we might not even have to fight them with heavy weapons!"
As she spoke, Red Queen glanced at Feng Luo and Black Panther on the other side.
"Is this why you hired a Sniper?" Feng Luo asked.
"Part of the reason," Red Queen replied.
"F * ck, what are they trying to do?"
Without waiting for Feng Luo to continue asking questions, Big Pineapple, who was looking at the pirate ship behind them with binoculars, exclaimed.
Feng Luo raised his sniper rifle and looked through the scope to the maximum. He saw three assault boats being lowered into the water from both sides of the pirate ship. After that, they quickly rushed toward them.
"They're probably preparing to go around to our side and front to intercept us," Neutron Star said. "They're trying to disrupt our escape route!"
"Using assault boats to disrupt a cruise ship," Glazed Ice said. "Their tonnage is on a completely different level. They won't be able to stop them."
"My God! Don't let their assault boats get close to us, or we won't be able to escape! "
The wounded bearded NPC first mate suddenly shouted.
"Why?" Red Queen asked.
"The assault boats of these pirates have been modified. They have torpedo launchers installed on them. They can fire a type of miniature guided torpedo. As long as they're within a range of 250 meters, they can fire. The power of the torpedo isn't great, but if they hit the hull of the ship and cause water to enter some of the watertight compartments, our ship's speed will be severely reduced! "
