Chapter 33 - Blending into enemies

The pirates on the cruise ship saw Zhao Hai and Ren Longfei supporting each other as they swam back, proudly and arrogantly, they released waves of wild laughter, the bullets that shot out exploded behind the two of them. Although there was a distance of 800 meters between them with an unknown amount of accuracy, the gunshots did not stop.

"You bunch of bastards, don't let Grandpa Hai catch you or I'll shoot you all down!" Zhao Hai gritted his teeth.

"Rest assured, I will fulfill your wish!" Ren Longfei squeezed out a few words from between his gritted teeth.

At this time, Zhang Minghai, Lin Mo and Li Liqun swam all the way to the back of the cruise and relied on the energy of the 'octopus claws' to slowly climb.

The pirates on the cruise ship were all attracted by Zhao Hai and Ren Longfei. Bullets poured out like money, and the entire deck resounded with arrogant and small voices, as if they had arrived to another world along with the unbroken sounds of gunfire.

Zhang Minghai and the others specialized in stealth combat. It was as if they had silencers installed under their feet. They ran quickly on the deck without making a sound. In the blink of an eye, three shadows had already flashed into the cabin.

This cruise ship was divided into four levels. Zhang Minghai and the others did not dare to act rashly, so they secretly hid and waited for the right moment, and their camouflage battle uniforms were also changed into regular suits. They did not intend to enter a cloakroom, as it was most suitable for hiding people.

Hearing the sound of gunfire, Zhang Minghai knew they were going back to the cabin.

Zhang Ming Hai quickly gave Li Liqun a meaningful look, after a long period of tacit understanding, Zhang Ming Hai only needed a look to know what he meant, causing Li Liqun to nod her head in understanding, and then slowly stood up from her concealed position.

This time, Lin Mo was completely out of the B-list, he had handed the main character of the battlefield to Zhang Minghai, the young man needed this kind of training.

With a light 'pa' sound, the clothes rack was thrown to the ground by Li Liqun, releasing a clear and crisp sound, but it was like thunder in the quiet room.

Just at this time, the locker room was kicked open with a huge force, following that, three pirates with guns barged in, looking angrily at Li Liqun.

"Please, please, don't kill me... "Don't kill me..." Li Liqun's face was filled with panic, and his body kept retreating.

"Damn, there's another one hidden here!" One of the pirates couldn't help but spit, then went forward and grabbed Li Liqun's collar, without saying a word, he picked him up and dragged him out the door.

Li Liqun pleaded for mercy as she tried her best to act like a coward, but in his heart, she scolded the three ancestors of the three people in front of him one by one. At the same time, she was secretly furious in his heart.

Very quickly, the changing room returned to silence from its previous noisy state. Zhang Minghai turned on his wireless communication device, waiting for Li Liqun to pass on the hostage's situation to him.

Captain, the hostages are on the highest level, there are more than 600 people here, more than 10 people on the first level, not too clear on the second level, more than 20 people on the fourth level, and they are all armed with AK47s. Li Liqun's voice was flustered and exasperated. The two rocket launchers were powerful enough to destroy a warship, if a warship attacked forcefully, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Zhang Minghai frowned deeply. His pair of sharp and cold eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of heavy icy mist, causing others to not dare to look straight at him.

"Find out the situation of the hostages first, the pirates have hostages in their hands. They can't force their way in, it seems we can only break them from the inside!" Zhang Minghai calmly gave the order. Li Liqun habitually knocked twice on the wireless device to indicate that she had received it. Then, he hung up the call.

Just at this time, Ren Longfei's wireless channel connected to it. Zhang Minghai did not think about it, and quickly connected to it.

"Zhang Minghai, I am Chen Zhongqiang! We are on our way right now, and we expect to be there in half an hour. The two helicopter gunships will be able to assist us within ten minutes.

Zhang Minghai pursed his lips and spoke in a low voice, "Li Liqun has already successfully infiltrated into the ranks of the hostages. Right now, the hostages are all held at the highest level of the fourth floor, with more than twenty people on guard. There are more than ten people on the first floor, and the other two floors have yet to be figured out!"

At this point, Zhang Minghai changed his tone and continued, "Also, Captain Chen, they have heavy weapons, and there are two rocket launchers guarding the hostages. And from the looks of it, they don't seem like small pirates.

Chen Zhongqiang pursed his lips and thought, "Alright, I will report the situation to the headquarters, you continue to investigate the situation on the ship, and maintain contact!" As he spoke, he hung up the phone.

At this point, the cruise ship was heading towards India at full speed. With just the coordinates, Zhang was able to determine that they had arrived in the Indian Ocean.

Lin Mo felt that if this were to drag on, the cruise ship would probably reach India. At that time, once they enter India, it would not only be a simple sea battle, furthermore, Zhang Minghai was not sure why they were going to India, but he was sure that there would be a rescue mission in India, and if both sides were to meet up, it would be even more difficult to resolve it.

Just that, Zhang Ming Hai knew that Chen Zhongqiang would not agree to his reckless actions, after all they had just reached the cruise and the situation was still unclear, but now that the situation had advanced, Zhang Ming Hai could only take matters into his own hands.

Zhang Minghai decisively turned off his wireless communication, and looked at Lin Mo, "Coach, we'll start our attack at 10 o'clock on time, and get rid of the people on the deck first!"

Lin Mo nodded his head coldly, without asking any questions, he felt that this Zhang Minghai was acting more and more like him.

"We shall live and die together!"

Ever since the establishment of the Falcon, they had entrusted their lives to each other, risking life and death together, sharing life and death with each other. On the battlefield, they were brothers for life and death, guarding each other's lives.

They were bound by life and death, they would never leave each other!

During the night, a joyful atmosphere enveloped the cruise ship. The fugitives returned with great success and were extremely happy. What they did not know was that death was approaching step by step!

Zhang Minghai's movements were light and nimble. In his hand was a military knife 56. This knife was custom-made by Zhang Minghai, and was even sharper and harder than normal military knives 56.

The saber blade in Zhang Minghai's hand was shaped like a sharp knife with three bloody grooves. The blade was stripped of its light and had a greyish white color without reflecting any light. After heat treatment, the entire blade was extremely hard and could easily pierce the chests of two adults.

At this moment, a pirate was approaching them unsteadily. He must have found a secluded place to release the water.

With a "pu" sound, the military knife fiercely stabbed into the pirate's chest. Zhang Ming Hai immediately pressed his hands against the pirate's nose and mouth, and before long, the pirate stopped struggling.

The trident blade would quickly introduce the air into the body, and the air would create a large amount of foam in the body, blocking the blood vessels. Furthermore, in the body cavity where the negative pressure was removed, it was effortless to pull out the blade.

Absolute killing weapon.

Zhang Minghai looked around to make sure that no one was paying attention to him before he slowly dragged that person to an inconspicuous place to hide. Then, he quickly changed his clothes.

Just then, three rhythmic tapping sounds came out from the radio. It was Lin Mo's signal that the sniper was in position.

Zhang Minghai raised his eyes and looked forward. A pair of sharp, cold eyes were filled with a murderous intent that seemed to cover the entire sky, causing one to feel a chill in one's heart.

Relying on his black clothes and black pants, Zhang Minghai swaggered on the cruise and obtained a lot of favorable information.

Most of the pirates were on the fourth floor, because all the hostages were being held there. The rest of the decks were guarded by more than twenty people, while the second and third floors were a lounge area with more than ten people patrolling.

"The person on the other side, listen up. We are the Chinese Marines, I hope you can cooperate to release the hostages …" A series of gunshots cut through the shouting.

All the robbers on the cruise ship rushed out of the room and stood on the deck. They held onto the railing and looked at the warship less than 500 meters away from them. Surprisingly, they held loaded guns in their hands.

Zhang Minghai quietly hid in the crowd. Hearing the pirates' curses, he didn't show the slightest trace of fear. Instead, he faced them head-on without fear, as if he had nothing to fear.

Zhang Minghai habitually narrowed his eyes, faintly feeling that something was wrong. From the time the cruise ship was hijacked until now, other than the pirates who killed the captain and a few other resistance hostages, they didn't take any further action. They didn't even put forward any conditions for negotiations with the Chinese military, as if all they did was to lure the warship over …

Zhang Minghai tried his best to suppress the unease in his heart. He needed to figure out what these pirates wanted!

"Go, bring a few hostages here to play!" A small leader smilingly raised his chin to one of his subordinates, who immediately bowed and left.

Zhang Minghai's heart skipped a beat. Under such a situation, it was very difficult for a hostage to have any chance of survival!

"The people opposite us, listen up and get out of our sight. If not, I'll shoot their heads off!" With that, he pressed his AK-47 against the head of a middle-aged man, scaring the man so much that his legs went weak and he fell to his knees.

Zhang Minghai couldn't help clenching his fists as his head was filled with shouts of "calm down".

All the marines and special forces were waiting for their orders, but now that more than five hundred hostages were in the hands of the pirates opposite them, a single inappropriate rescue could lead to the death of the hostages, and this kind of outcome was something they could not afford.
