Chapter 347: The Owl Dies
Xu Haibao, who solved the underwater submarine with the greatest threat and personally accompanied the commando team to launch a counter-raid, also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. For Xu, the safety of the fleet is of paramount importance, and he cannot sit idly by and watch the shipwreckage of the fleet's vessels.
While the Snake King continued to act as a guard post under the sea, the warship bird that guided the helicopter to carry out bombing on the water was under the instructions of Xu Haibao, monitoring the giant freighter that was speeding up the pursuit of the fleet at high altitude.
Even if the other party's giant freighter has been modified to a certain extent, it is still much slower than the three ships in the fleet sailing at full speed. While the two sides were chasing, Xu Haibao led the assault team to raid the encircled armed merchant ships.
In the face of Xu Haibao's triple attack with helicopters and commandos, even if the armed merchant ships were prepared, it was still difficult to escape Xu Haibao's pursuit. As long as they are locked by Xu Haibao, the fate that awaits them is to be completely killed.
Originally, according to Zhao Ji's intention, it was to blow up and sink these armed merchant ships, but Xu Haibao thought about it and said: "There is no need! There is such a big movement in this sea area, I believe that some surrounding countries have already received the situation."
If you blow up and sink these armed merchant ships, have you thought about the pollution that these ships might cause if they sink into the sea? Just get rid of the armed elements on board, and the ship will stay here and leave it to fend for itself.
According to what I heard earlier, the Star Research Society is an extremely mysterious organization, and special agencies in various countries are collecting information about them. This time, they mobilized the crowd to encircle and suppress our fleet, which is bound to attract the attention of the special agencies of many countries.
These ships are thrown here not only to deter the special agencies of various countries, but also to give them an opportunity to investigate the Star Research Institute in depth. At least I believe that if the Star Research Association does not solve these troubles, they will not dare to show up at will. ”
As a monk close to the ocean, Xu Haibao attaches great importance to the problem of marine pollution. In Xu Haibao's view, it is somewhat a pity to abandon these captured armed merchant ships. But the problem is that they can't bring these armed merchant ships back to the country.
If it were to be blown up, the oil carried on the merchant ship would leak, potentially causing deadly environmental pollution. In contrast, if they are directly discarded on the sea, it is believed that the surrounding countries will also be interested in these ownerless merchant ships.
After all considerations, Xu Haibao felt that it would be most beneficial for the fleet to abandon these merchant ships with many dead bodies. Even in order to avoid trouble, the assault team dismantled and destroyed all the communication and monitoring equipment on the ship after cleaning and inspection.
In this way, even if someone talks about armed merchant ships in the future, they will not find any evidence. If there is no evidence, even if there is trouble for the country and the organization to find the fleet, there must be evidence!
Looking at the three armed merchant ships that had been completely assembled and leaning together, and the commando speedboat following behind the helicopter, he soon saw the dense artillery fire appearing in front of him. The three armed merchant ships seemed to realize that they could not let Xu Haibao and the others get close.
Faced with this situation, Xu Haibao quickly said: "Tiger Shark, the speedboat is suspended, and the helicopter detachment is also suspended, don't get too close." Wait until I get rid of their gunners first, and then you follow. Be careful to avoid artillery fire!"
"Yes, Swordfish, be careful!"
The advance was decisively stopped, and even the speedboat withdrew to the rear, as far away as possible from the range of the ship's guns. Xu Haibao, who was in a helicopter, also jumped directly into the sea and approached the fleet carrying out long-range strikes from underwater.
The militants, who were on the three merchant ships, watched the six assault boats disperse, and quickly ordered the gunners to adjust their muzzles and continue the shelling. As for the two helicopters, they also began to circle back and forth in the vicinity of the armed merchant ships to attract fire.
When Xu Haibao arrived under the armed merchant ship and instantly rushed into the air from the sea, there was no nonsense, and the 'rainstorm technique' covering the group immediately fell. Many of the militants who stayed outside the cabin had no time to hide.
Just when these militants saw Xu Haibao suddenly appearing above their heads, they said with a shocked face: "How did he appear? Quick, shoot, shoot immediately, kill him! Don't let him do it!"
Even if some militants reacted, they immediately ordered the militants on the ship to shoot Xu Haibao in the air. When the armed men on the ship began to raise their guns to shoot, waves of sharp water arrows began to fall from the sky.
The constant penetration of the 'flutter flutter' sounded, and the consciousness of the water arrows falling from the sky was reaping the lives of the militants on board. This kind of mass spell strike caused the armed elements on the ship to collapse in an instant.
The screams rang out as some of the militants began to scurry into the cabin to avoid being shot by water arrows. Zhao Ji, who was staying on the sea in the distance, also saw that the dense naval guns finally stopped ringing.
Knowing that Xu Haibao's blow had worked, Zhao Ji immediately said: "All squads, assault! Prepare to board the ship!"
With Zhao Ji's order issued, the two helicopters immediately accelerated to fly over the three armed ships and began to carry out the second round of strikes. As for Xu Haibao's words, under the cover of the two rounds of group spells, there were no living people in the deck area.
Most of the remaining alive were hiding in the cabins. Even if there were still people shooting at Xu Haibao in the air, they still couldn't penetrate Xu Haibao's mana shield, and could only watch the helicopter appear on the side of the merchant ship.
Looking for a good target to shoot, the helicopter pilot who was blocked in the distance before also said fiercely: "Hit me hard!"
Pressing the machine gun launch button, the cannon suspended under the helicopter began to rotate, and one shell after another began to tear through the weak deck of the ship. Many of the militants who were hiding behind could only run away again.
"Quick, get under the ship's cabin! Damn, what about our backups, why didn't anyone come to our rescue?"
According to the orders they had received earlier, this time they were supposed to be surrounding a fleet engaged in the salvage of ocean-going shipwrecks. But now it seems that what kind of escort of a merchant ship is here, it is completely a special version of the maritime commando!
As the two helicopters began a circular sweep centered on three armed merchant ships, dumping the ammunition they carried. The assault speedboats that came later have also successfully reached the bottom of the merchant ships.
It's still the old routine, and I started to board the ship to carry out the cleanup. The remaining militants who entered the cabin of the ship also seemed to know that the end was coming, so they were naturally unwilling to sit idly by, and still resisted stubbornly in the cabin.
Considering that there were three merchant ships that needed to be cleared this time, the six assault boats were divided into three assault teams, and two assault teams were responsible for clearing one armed merchant ship. As for Xu Haibao's words, he is still responsible for supervising the whole process.
Among the six selected assault teams, one of them was led by the leader of the dark team 'Albatross' Li Jianye, who led the commandos under his command to cooperate with the security team.
When he cleaned up to the bottom of the cabin, looking at the hatch that was locked from the inside, Li Jianye said with a headache: "Damn, these guys are really turtles! Take the explosives, break the door violently, and the others are ready!"
The Dark Team Members, who served as the Demoman of the Assault Team, quickly pulled out the plastic bomb from his body and installed it on the upper and lower parts of the hatch. After the installation was completed, the Demoman also said in due time: "Hide! Three, two, one, detonate!"
Pressing the remote control in his hand, two plastic bombs glued to the hatch quickly exploded. When the hatch was blown up, the commandos who were hiding next to it opened fire.
Just as Li Jianye was about to rush in, he suddenly saw one of the armed elements hiding in the hatch and rushed out with explosives wrapped in his body and shouted: "Go to hell with me!"
"Shoot! Kill him!"
As the commandos shot frantically, the owl who stayed behind Li Jianye was keenly aware that this suicidal militant was wearing heavy body armor, and the assault rifle did little damage to him.
The deadliest thing is that the militant has pressed the button to detonate. At this critical moment, in the face of the oncoming militants, the owl shook the assault rifle in his hand and rushed straight towards the suicide militants.
"Albatross, brothers, I'm sorry, I'll go first!"
The owl who said this, in the shocked eyes of the tall armed man, rushed straight at him. Wrap your arms around the waist and launch a counter-charge, pushing them directly into the bombed cabin.
The whole process came too fast, and when Li Jianye reacted, he shouted: "Owl, don't do it!"
Before the sound fell, there was another loud explosion in the cabin of the ship that had been blown open. Hearing this explosion, Li Jianye, who was already full of anger, took the lead again and said: "Rush, kill those damn guys!"
When they rushed into the cabin, they saw only a few seriously wounded militants inside, and they still did not hesitate to raise their guns and kill them. While the members of the secret team were beating these injured militants into a sieve, Li Jianye found the owl.
It's a pity that at this moment, a big hole was blown out of the owl's abdomen, and most of its head was blown off. This appearance undoubtedly tells everyone that the owl has been sacrificed, and there is not even a chance to rescue it.
Holding the owl whose body was already incomplete, Li Jianye, who was sitting on the ground, could not hide his sadness and said: "Owl, why are you so stupid! Why do you do this! You fool!"
The rest of the dark team members who saw this scene knew very well that the previous situation was dangerous. If it weren't for the owl holding the militant to the charge, they would have been hit by the fragments of explosives bound up in the passage of the ship's cabin.
It can be said that the owl did not want to survive at all before choosing to do this. Even if they are wearing body armor, how can they be immortal if they come into contact with the bundled explosives head-on?
Xu Haibao, who was in charge of supervising the battle, soon saw what was happening here in the dark group, and felt that the anger in his heart was soaring, and he also said loudly: "Attention of all the team members, kill! I want three boats, and I can't see a single living person! Speed up the clearance!"
Hearing Xu Haibao's earth-shattering roar, Zhao Ji, who was in charge of leading the commando, immediately tightened his heart and said: "It's not good, something must have happened!"
When the battle was over, many people felt uncomfortable looking at the owl that had been carried to the deck and whose body was already incomplete. Even before the owl took the initiative to ask to participate in the battle, many team members were mentally prepared.
But when he really saw the corpse of the owl killed in battle, the earlier complaints against him quickly disappeared. These team members all know that the owl used his own blood to wash away the shame of his previous betrayal. They really can't hate such people!
