Section 332 Surprise 9
The boat came up.
Some pirates were said to have come and besieged them with several speedboats, but this one was apparently not so troublesome. Maybe it's because they're more technologically advanced, maybe it's because their ships are particularly good at this, in short, it's coming over. Perfect proximity to embarkation. Someone threw hooks and rope ladders onto the deck.
The first pirate climbed up the rope ladder.
Guns rang out on the deck. It was not possible to see where the shooter was, but the pirate who climbed up was hit. A bullet hit the jaw, a huge bullet that shattered the human jawbone and burrowed into it, spun and wrenched the tongue, shattered the teeth, and then shot out of the mouth near the throat, piercing the human body a second time, piercing the Adam's apple. The warhead fiercely tore open his throat, blasted his spine, and then left the back of his neck forever.
The pirate fell backwards in a stake-like position. The vitality of life in his eyes had completely dissipated before his body came into contact with the seawater.
The second pirate climbed up, and there was another crisp shot shot.
These small pieces of metal propelled by gunpowder gas are endowed with terrifying speeds that are simply not something that human body tissues can fight against. This one pirate was slightly better than his first companion, and at least he had a chance to let out a long scream.
At the height of the cargo ship, the captain's face turned pale.
According to his understanding, this ship should be a dozen or twenty pirates, and modern pirates, as mentioned earlier, have long since lost the bloody demeanor of those ancient predecessors who laughed and faced death. Ancient pirates could kill half of their companions in a naval battle, and modern pirates dared to rob warships, and pirate captains could duel with the captain of warships. And the modern pirates ...... If you die, you will retreat in fear.
It stands to reason that it is.
But this group of pirates does not live with this at all. Thomas's bodyguard (that is, J) has good marksmanship, and he comes up to kill one in a second. But if the death of two companions frightened the pirates, the captain could not see at least the captain from above. The pirates were killed, one after the other, and rushed up again, undaunted. Not only that, but more rope ladders and hooks were thrown onto the deck, and more pirates rushed up.
But Thomas is worthy of being a big man, and his bodyguards are definitely one in a hundred. Now there are seven or eight rope ladders and hooks connected up, and normally speaking, even the most powerful people should be in a hurry to deal with the enemy rushing up from seven or eight directions. But the pirates couldn't get any money. J's pistol was so different from the pirates' AK47s that it took a life every time it rang out.
In response to this defensive fire, more rope ladders and hooks were thrown up.
At least ten pirates had died, but nothing had stopped the pirates' ferocious onslaught. Grenades and the like were thrown onto the deck, and more pirates rushed up along different positions.
What kind of pirates are they? No matter how many of them are killed, they won't flinch at all?
The captain didn't even think it was real. He looked through the binoculars, trying to know if the pirates, shot one by one, were real or dummy. But all he saw were distorted faces.
Compared to the captain, J in front of him felt this more clearly.
The new pirate climbs up and gets a shot in the head from him.
But J has seen the eyes of these pirates...... There was a strong emotion in those eyes. As a killer, J is all too familiar with this kind of gaze. That's fear...... Pirates are driven by fear.
Because there was something more terrible driving them behind, the fear of death in front of them became less important than that thing.
Of course it's useless!
In this world, it is matter that determines spirit, not spirit that determines matter. In layman's terms, the spiritual atomic bomb is no better than the material atomic bomb. No matter how brave or determined, it only takes a small piece of metal inspired by gunpowder gas to directly shatter all human will.
The only problem was that there were more pirates than expected.
If it was J in the past, he would probably be in a hurry now. After all, the enemy has more than a dozen channels of invasion, and it is almost impossible to hold it with one person and one gun. But now J has changed radically.
If anything, it is a power that surpasses humanity.
Although I look in the mirror when I take a shower now, I can see that my current self is no different from my past self, at least my body looks exactly the same as my remembered self. But that's just the outside, it's different on the inside. For him now, the things that bound him in the past are insignificant, if not non-existent.
Let's say, what kind of hunt and kill order. A reward of 10 million dollars is offered to J's head. It was precisely because of this hunt order that J had to flee to Chinese mainland and lie dormant for a while, waiting for the limelight to pass.
But now, J knows he can move freely. Because he was sure that no one in this world (or at least in the world of the 'light side') could kill him. Maybe it's not enough to deal with an army alone, but if it's a single person or a small team of bounty hunters or professional killers...... J can just ignore it. It's like a buzzing fly, annoying at best, but never threatening.
Even in this case, he still has the leisure to think about Lu Wu's girlfriend, that is, Amber.
That one was definitely not human, because that day he saw Amber's body translucent...... It looked like smoke, and it looked like something like glass or resin. It wasn't long, but J swore that he would never be an extraordinary human body.
However, it is not clear what amber is. But ghosts, wherever they are in legends, are immobile during the day. And amber looks normal and natural during the day and at night. And...... The most important thing is that Lu Wu also seems to know about this matter.
Just now, as the pirate ship approached, J had noticed Amber jumping off the edge of the ship. What to do, even if you don't have to think about it, you can think of it immediately.
The pirates were almost all concentrated at the bow of the pirate ship.
After the initial attack was thwarted, they immediately adjusted their plans. The pirate ship lowered several small speedboats and circled to other parts of the freighter to try to board the ship in multiple directions. Some directions are just bluffing, with people shouting and shooting from below to make them appear outnumbered.
Amber came up from the side of the pirate ship without anyone else noticing.
That's the good thing about the spirit body—even though she came from the sea, she was dry and dry, without a little water.
A corsair can only be said to be a small ship compared to a freighter (although in this era when 10,000 tons can only be used as a frigate, this freighter can also be considered a "small ship"), but even if it is a small ship, it is big enough for a person. At least Amber felt empty as she approached the cabin.
The interior of the pirate ship is not luxurious and beautiful. In fact, the situation inside can only be said to be barely passable. For example, in the living room where Amber is now, the interior of the cabin has been remodeled in such a way that the rooms are separated by wooden planks - much like the lattice rooms of the big cities. Of course, these renovations have been around for some time, and things like paint peeling and missing edges are common, very much like in the slums.
From this point of view, there were more pirates on board than expected, probably thirty or forty men, or even a little more.
Passing through this living area, the front is the rear deck. The captain had said that, as was the custom of pirates, if they had heavy enough weapons to destroy a freighter, such as small artillery, rockets, or whatever, they would be housed here. The reason why they were placed on the aft deck instead of the bow was because the pirates needed these heavy weapons when they fled—whether for revenge or to stop the pursuit of a strong enemy.
At this moment, there was no one in the cabin. But as long as it is only a feeling, even people who don't understand anything understand that there must be people on board. But it doesn't matter.
Her mission was simple, find the weapons and throw them into the sea. An easy task for Amber.
Halfway through the walk, Amber heard movement on the side.
Apparently some pirate had spotted the intruder - it was supposed that they would immediately rush out with their weapons brandished and shouting, but it was surprising that they were hiding in the room ready to ambush.
But it was only surprise, Amber knew that ordinary weapons, that is, firearms, could not hurt herself.
In the next second, she had a glimpse of what was going to happen - the position in the oblique stab, and the other party would shoot at her through the plank. Not one, but two, forming crossfire from the left and right that is difficult to dodge. As is often the case with repeating rifles on Earth, most of these dense fires missed, but five or six bullets would hit Amber, two of which would be particularly deadly, and one would hit her in the chest, shattering her thoracic vertebrae and creating a huge cavity in her lungs. Another bullet would have struck her in the neck, tearing half of her neck open.
In other words, for ordinary people, this level of harm is that the dead can no longer die.
And what is quite troublesome is that the opponent's firepower is fierce, and the space to dodge is relatively narrow. Well, even if it's the First Lawyer, it's nothing more than avoiding deadly attacks. Of course, if it weren't for her own special circumstances, Amber would never have walked so aggressively into such a vulnerable position. At the very least, she'd listened intently as she entered the cabin and saw the pirates in motion. Or simply go straight from the sea to the deck from the other direction.
In short, there is no possibility of any large weapons hidden in the cabin (because of the extra personnel), the only thing is the aft deck, just rush over and take a look.
She didn't want to hurt the earthlings, because she knew that Lu Wu didn't like her to kill. Although Lu Wu had never said that, Amber knew Lu Wu's mentality. Or the mentality of the male of the earth. When he really encountered this kind of behavior that had to resort to force, Lu Wu still hoped to do it himself.
Then, as predicted, two guns rang out. Everything happened according to the law of time, and then Amber herself, as expected, was hit by a bullet that pierced the plank wall and caused a wound that would be absolutely fatal to ordinary people.
But that's for the average person.
Amber's wound spurted blood, but the blood spurted into glowing particles in midair, dissipating. And her broken body suddenly vanished, as if an invisible eraser had passed over her, erasing her existence in this world. For she had reduced everything she had to her primordial state of mind in order to construct the entity once again. It's like a piece of software that runs faulty under the action of an external force, just shut down and restart, then everything is restored to the original.
In the next moment, a torrent of magic from the Seventh Law swept through the entire space.
