288 The Besieged Tang Yan
“That’s great!
“This is going to make my work so much easier!”
Liu Shiyao happily adjusted her glasses.
After hanging out with Wang Ran for a while, Liu Shiyao had picked up some traits from him.
With so much high-level labor and advanced equipment, Liu Shiyao was already looking forward to an easier life ahead.
“Alright, we have to go and save Tang Tang’s father.
“If there’re any problems, call me immediately.”
Wang Ran took Tang Tang to the Missouri.
The Black Hawk had already landed on its deck.
The deck area here was quite large, and it could even be used to play football.
“Boss, its fueled up, and the crew are all ready,” Thirteen ran over and reported.
After a few days of training, many of the Mutated Zombies had already mastered the basic operations.
Zombies could crew the battleship.
The remaining crew members had probably realized what was going on, and were unwilling to teach them any more complicated operations.
In the past, the disciples would starve to death if they failed to learn well. Now, if the disciples were taught well, the disciples would eat the Masters.
Soon, the Missouri left the port and headed towards Victoria Harbor.
They would reach Victoria Harbor in a day.
Of course, it would be faster to fly there by helicopter.
However, Wang Ran really wanted to feel a battleship in action.
When he was playing Azur Lane in the past, Wang Ran loved the lore behind it. Now, he could finally experience it for himself…
At Hong Kong, a medium-sized cruise ship was docked at the harbor.
There was a layer of black oil on the surface of the sea near the cruise.
There were a few holes in the hull, and the oil leaked out from there.
On the deck, dozens of people who looked like mercenaries were holding rifles and scoping through them, looking around vigilantly.
“Boss, are you sure someone will come to our aid?” a one-eyed man asked.
“I hope so…
“My daughter is quite reliable,” Tang Yan didn’t have much confidence when he said this.
Originally, their ship could have reached Ningbo-Zhoushan along the coastline, but who would have thought that the ship would hit a reef, halfway.
Tang Yan had no choice but to sail to the nearby Victoria Harbor to see if he could find a replacement boat.
The last thing he had expected was to be ambushed there.
The ships docked at the nearby port had all been sunk, and his own ship sprung a massive leak that rendered it inoperable.
They had ended up trapped here.
Originally, Tang Yan had planned to bring his men ashore and find a few vehicles to take a look at the airport.
Before they could reach the shore, a large number of zombies had surrounded the port.
These zombies were huge in number and were not weak.
Tang Yan tried to break out several times but failed.
Later on, the zombies even took the initiative to attack Tang Yan’s ship.
Some zombies grabbed onto swimming rings and paddled small boats to attack Tang Yan’s ship.
Fortunately, Tang Yan and the others had sufficient ammunition, and they relied on their firepower to repel the other party’s attacks again and again.
After two days, Tang Yan and the others were staring to fatigue.
After all, the zombies attacked day and night.
At night, they would approach the ship from all directions.
Tang Yan had no choice but to spread his men thinly across the ship.
Many people were already yawning.
“Boss, why don’t we try our best to break out again?
“If we continue to draw things out like this, we will fade.”
Tang Yan was silent for a while, then nodded.
His subordinates could not hold on any longer. The longer they held on, the worse their condition became.
He might as well try to attempt making a break for it again while he still had some strength.
“Tonight, gather everyone and charge again.
“Whether we live or die will depend on this charge!”
Tang Yan looked at the densely packed zombies on the other side of the river and felt a little uneasy.
Unfortunately, his satellite phone had been smashed by a zombie in the previous battle.
Otherwise, he would have contacted Tang Tang again.
He could only rely on himself now!
The sky gradually darkened.
The zombies on the shore launched another attack.
This time, they brought a lot of door panels and bamboo rafts, which were probably dismantled from the nearby construction site.
With these floating objects, the number of zombies attacking this time was greater more than before.
Gunshots and fire constantly flickered in the port.
“F*ck, boss, I’m out of bullets!
“I don’t have much ammunition left!
“Only 50 shots left from the 7.62!”
The crew members on the ship reported their situation, one after another.
“F*ck, save your bullets. Burst fire!
“Awakened Ones above rank-three, put on your life jackets and jump down with me. We’re engaging the zombies!”
Under Tang Yan’s command, he grabbed a fire axe and jumped down with a dozen of his underlings.
It had turned into a messy melee.
The entire surface of the sea was covered in broken limbs.
After an hour of fighting, Tang Yan and the others finally killed off this wave of zombies.
However, they were all exhausted.
“Boss, what should we do next?
“Just say it, we’ll listen to you!” One-Eye said as he bandaged his wound.
“We don’t have much ammunition left.
“If the zombies attack again, we won’t be able to hold on…
“How about this, a dozen or so people will go down and draw the oil floating on the sea towards us.
“The next time the zombies attack, we’ll set it on fire.
“Zombies hate fire. We may be able to last another wave,” Tang Yan said, after thinking for a while.
“Boss, won’t the fire burn our ship…” One-Eye asked.
“So be it!
“In this situation, why do you still care about the ship!
“When the time comes, we’ll all go underwater and try to gather on the shore. We can still live to fight on.
“Everyone, rest well.”
Tang Yan was also covered in wounds, but as a rank-five Awakened One and the leader of a team, he could not fall.
Many bandaged men were resting on the deck.
Those who were not injured were in charge of keeping watch.
The night passed by peacefully.
At dawn, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Zombies always liked to attack at night. Because of the darkness, it was much more difficult to deal with them than during the day.
Now that it was dawn, everyone felt much more secure.
But Tang Yan was frowning.
“F*ck, I messed up!”
Tang Yan slapped his thigh.
“Boss, what’s wrong?
“It’s a good thing that the zombies didn’t take advantage of the night to attack!” the one-eyed man said.
“The zombie leader is quite smart…
“They know we don’t have enough ammunition and stamina, but why didn’t they continue to attack at night?
“Because even though it’s good for them to attack at night, it’s also easier for us to escape into the water!
“It’s broad daylight now, they’ll see where we’re swimming…
“We can’t escape this time…”
Tang Yan laughed bitterly.
