In all merchant ships, there are specially modified safety cabins, which are not only specially reinforced, but also store a lot of food and drinking water, so that in the face of pirate attacks, the crew can hide in the safety cabins and wait for rescue.

A merchant ship of tens of thousands of tons, there are many places where people can be hidden. Although the design of safety cabins varies from one merchant ship to another, most of them are located at the lowest level of the hull.

At this time, in the face of the pirates who were about to board the ship, Fang Xu, as the commander of the formation, quickly issued an order to let the crew of the Haijie merchant ship hide in the safety cabin.

"Order the special combat team members to immediately take the carrier-based helicopter to the destination sea area, drive away the pirates, and rescue the merchant ship Haijie!"

Immediately afterwards, as Fang Xu's order continued, as early as the moment the alarm sounded, the special combat team members who had already prepared immediately boarded the carrier-based helicopter.

At the first moment, four escorts were on the deck of the missile frigate on the periphery of the formation, and at the same time, helicopters were raised, and more than a dozen special combat personnel flew towards the sea area where the Haijie merchant ship was located in four helicopters.

On one of the helicopters, Lu Zihao took Jiang Chen, Lu Haiyang and others to sit in the cabin. In this operation to rescue merchant ships, the joint operations team sent Jiang Chen and Lu Haiyang several people, mainly to observe normal operations, truly understand what is real, and drive away and rescue merchant ships.

In fact, the Haijie merchant ship was only more than 20 nautical miles away from the formation, that is, about 30 or 40 kilometers, and according to the helicopter's flight speed, in just 10 minutes, four carrier-based helicopters had already arrived in the sea area where the Haijie was located.

Looking down from the sky, you can clearly see more than a dozen pirate speedboats surrounding the merchant ship Haijie. Of course, at this time, there were already quite a few speedboats parked next to the merchant ships, and on the decks of the merchant ships, many pirates could already be seen.

The crew of the merchant ship did not seem willing to give the merchant ship to the pirates, and then withdrew into the safety cabin, and after the pirates landed on deck, many of the brave crew began to throw objects such as wine bottles at the pirates.

"Da Da Da Da..."

In the face of the challenge of these crews, some pirates pulled the trigger of the AK rifle directly into the sky, and at the moment when the gunfire rang out, the crew members who were still holding on just now finally got scared, quickly broke away, and then ran towards the hatch of the safety cabin.

"We are the escort group of the Huaxia Navy, which is here to carry out the task of protecting merchant ships under the authorization of the United Nations. I command you to leave at once, I command you to leave at once!"

When the four helicopters from the Huaxia escort group approached, the sky over the main sea began to repeat the words played in English.

"Shoot a stun bomb to stop these pirates!"

On one of the helicopters, looking at the pirates who were chasing after the crew, Lu Zihao immediately ordered.

After hearing this, Jiang Chen and Lu Haiyang, who were the deputies, did not hesitate at all, and after stuffing a stun bomb into the grenade launcher mounted under the rifle, they pulled the trigger towards the sky above these pirates on the deck.

"Bang!

"Boom! boom!"

Two stun bombs exploded over the pirates, and the loud explosion successfully attracted the pirates' attention and made the pirates abandon the pursuit of the crew.

"It's the Huaxia Navy!"

As he saw the four helicopters getting closer and closer to the merchant ship, one of the pirates shouted as he pointed at the helicopter.

"Da Da Da Da..."

"Da Da Da Da..."

At the same time as Jiang Chen's side fired the stun bomb, the special combat team members on several other helicopters pulled the trigger directly towards the deck of the merchant ship and the sea near the merchant ship.

"Sonorous and sonorous..."

Countless bullets hit the deck next to these pirates, splashing bursts of sparks, and these pirates did not hesitate at all, and quickly chose to retreat.

As for the bullets that hit the sea, they were used to drive away the speedboats that were constantly surrounding the merchant ships, and the bullets hit the sea, splashing a string of water, and the pirates who saw this hurriedly drove the speedboats away from the merchant ships.

"Shoot, drive the pirates down!"

On the helicopter, looking at the pirates who were still dodging bullets on the deck, Lu Zihao ordered.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen and Lu Haiyang did not hesitate at all, and the two of them who picked up their automatic rifles and pulled the trigger towards the deck of the merchant ship.

"Da Da Da Da..."

"Da Da Da Da..."

As more and more rifles were added, the pirates on deck finally chose to give up, and one by one jumped straight off the merchant ship.

The speedboats that had been surrounding the merchant ships hurriedly chose to retreat after catching up with their companions, and in just a few minutes, a dozen speedboats gradually turned into a small black dot.

"We immediately went on board to inform the crew of the Haijie, and searched the merchant ship for any remaining pirates!"

Looking at the speedboat that was gradually disappearing, Lu Zihao, who was pressing his headset, spoke.

"Stay safe!"

Soon, Lu Zihao heard Fang Xu's voice in terms of finger knitting.

"Captain Lu, didn't all the pirates retreat?"

Jiang Chen, who was beside him, couldn't help but ask after listening to Lu Zihao's words.

"There were pirates on board the merchant ship just now, and although the pirates have evacuated, we don't know if there are still pirates hiding on the merchant ship. If we don't check carefully, by the time we leave, these pirates will re-emerge and take control of the entire merchant ship!" Lu Zihao explained, "Moreover, we have lost contact with the merchant ship Haijie, and all the crew members should be hiding in the safe cabin, we need to find them and inform them of the news!"

"I see!"

Jiang Chen and Lu Haiyang, who heard this, nodded, it was the first time they had heard of such a thing.

"When we go down to act, we must not let our guard down. It is very likely that there are pirates hiding on merchant ships, and once they are found, they can choose to be killed on the spot!" Lu Zihao, who looked extremely serious, said.

"Understood!"

Jiang Chen and Lu Haiyang, who heard this, as well as the two independent courtyards behind them, also responded very seriously.

Soon, a helicopter not far away had flown to the deck of the merchant ship, and with the rope being dropped off the helicopter, a Marine wearing a black combat uniform and carrying a weapon quickly landed on the deck of the merchant ship along the rope.

Under the vigilance of the other team members, more and more team members successfully landed on the deck, and by the time Jiang Chen and Lu Haiyang went down, there were already more than a dozen team members on the deck.

"Captain!"

One of the team members hurriedly saluted after seeing Lu Zihao coming down.

"Immediately send someone to control the commanding heights, and then go down to find the location of the safety cabin and take the crew out. Take them all to the deck, and don't let them move around at will until we have searched the entire merchant ship!" Lu Zihao, who was returning the military salute, ordered, "In a group of three, conduct a detailed search of the entire merchant ship to ensure that no pirates are hiding here!"

"Lone wolf, do you want to join the search?"

After thinking of Jiang Chen and the others standing behind him, Lu Zihao, who turned around, asked.

"Good!"

Seeing this, Jiang Chen and Lu Haiyang glanced at each other, then nodded in agreement.

"Then you are in a group of four, when searching, don't miss any corners, pay attention to safety!" reminded Lu Zihao, who nodded.

As for whether there are pirates hiding on the merchant ship, it is actually a guess for Lu Zihao, even if there are pirates hiding, Lu Zihao also feels that he will be discovered by his own team members when the time comes, after all, they have carried out such a mission more than once.

Soon, after leaving a few members to guard the place, the remaining dozen or so team members, in groups of three, formed several teams, entered the merchant ship and began to conduct a detailed search of all the places on the merchant ship.

A few minutes later, the members of one of the teams managed to locate the dozen or so crew members of the merchant ship in a safe cabin at the bottom of the merchant ship, and escorted them back to the deck, leaving a special team to guard them.

As for the rest of the group, they are still searching all over the merchant ship. However, there is always a gap in the outcome of things, in Lu Zihao's eyes, even if there are pirates, they will be found by their own teammates. Although it was true that a few undetermined pirates took advantage of the chaos to hide in a certain room of the merchant ship, it was not Lu Zihao's team members who found them, but four members of the joint operations team.

In a certain corridor under the Haijie merchant ship, the four members of the joint operations team formed a sharp angle diamond shape, that is, Jiang Chen walked in the front, Lu Haiyang walked in the back, and the remaining two team members walked on both sides of the middle, and the four people in the corridor began to carefully search the various rooms in this corridor.

During this period, the four of them had successfully searched more than a dozen rooms in a corridor, and had also encountered other search teams, and according to the experience they imparted, Jiang Chen and the others searched much faster.

According to these seasoned veterans, if there were pirates hiding on this merchant ship. First of all, the places where these pirates hide must be relatively secret, especially in some inconspicuous small rooms. In addition, during the search, the rooms with the hatches open are generally not the places where the pirates are hiding, because when these pirates are hiding, they usually lock the hatches behind to prevent them from being seen.

Another point is that when searching, you should be careful not to find too much movement, because the interior rooms of merchant ships are generally very poorly soundproofed, and if you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of some people breathing rapidly.

Usually after hearing other breathing sounds, you can almost lock down the pirate's location.
