Chapter 156: Engagement
Looking at this group of uninvited guests who suddenly appeared, Xu Haibao, who returned to the yacht alone, also had a lot of confusion in his heart. As far as he can remember, there seem to have been very few incidents of armed pirates looting ships in the South China Sea.
The desert island they are on at the moment, although it is not a golden route, is not far from the territorial waters of China. In addition, there are coast guard ships from China and Annam patrolling this water area from time to time, and armed pirates do not dare to stop at all.
In general, most of the places infested by armed pirates are areas with a large number of passing ships and relatively close to the mainland. In Asian waters, pirates are almost always found near the Strait of Malacca.
Although it is not clear where these armed elements came from, judging from the outfits of these people, Xu Haibao knows very well that these people are not good people. If there had been no malice, these men would not have disembarked from the big ship and would not have carried weapons.
shouted two warnings in Mandarin and English, but the other party did not stop approaching, and Xu Haibao also directly picked up his assault rifle and strafed the approaching boat. The sound of gunfire rang out, and everyone on the boat was startled.
Of course, Tang Xingyou and the others, who stayed on the island, were also very nervous when they heard the gunshots coming from the yacht. If it weren't for Xu Haibao's explanation, let them not act rashly for the time being, I'm afraid that they would have called the police for help at this moment.
As Xu Haibao expected, no matter how much words are spoken, they are not as direct and effective as gunshots. Shots rang out, and the moving boat quickly stopped. Xu Haibao, who was standing on the yacht, soon saw that someone in the small boat was talking to the big boat.
Seeing that the other party decisively stopped advancing, Xu Haibao was not in a hurry, quietly waiting for the next choice these people made. If the other party is interested in leaving, then after dawn, Xu Haibao and his party will also wait for the opportunity to leave the desert island.
At least one thing Xu Haibao can confirm that the composition of the group of uninvited guests in front of him is a bit complicated. With the monk's eyesight, he could clearly see that there were mostly Asians on the boat, but there were still two foreign faces.
Just as Xu Haibao was waiting quietly, Zhao Ji's concerned voice also came from the walkie-talkie hanging on his body: "Swordfish, how is the situation? Do you want us to come over?"
"No, just stay put. These people are just a little bit uneasy. Judging from their guns and reaction movements, they should all be experienced veterans. Tell them to hide their steerboard and don't show their heads!"
"Okay! Swordfish, be careful, too. If these people are really masters, beware that they have sniper rifles!"
"Rest assured, I have good eyesight and can see these people in the boat. Their big ships have a deeper draft than our yachts, and they don't dare to approach them easily. Even if they try to snipe me, they'll have to close the distance. ”
Seeing that Xu Haibao was already mentally prepared, Zhao Ji didn't say anything more. From the infrared telescope, he could clearly see Xu Haibao staying on the yacht, and he was still very safe for the time being. The boat in which the other party is seated is also a considerable distance from the yacht.
Just when the boat stopped moving forward and Xu Haibao waited quietly, two more small boats suddenly appeared on the big boat. To Xu Haibao's great surprise, the second group of people who got on the boat were all carrying weapons and equipment.
Seeing this scene, Xu Haibao also quickly informed: "Tiger shark, pay attention to vigilance, the other party has sent two more groups of people over." To ensure safety, you must prevent each other from landing on the island. Since they're ignoring the warning, let me die!"
"Understood, swordfish, you should be careful, too. If you really can't do it, just jump into the sea to protect yourself, and I will meet you on the island!"
As Xu Haibao said before, in Zhao Ji's opinion, as long as Xu Haibao jumped into the sea, these people would not be able to hurt Xu Haibao. As long as it is delayed until dawn, I believe that these uninvited guests who come late at night must also leave as soon as possible.
When the other two boats also accelerated to the location of the first boat, Xu Haibao didn't say anything more. From the sudden appearance of these people to the appearance of gunmen in the two small boats behind, Xu Haibao finally sensed that something was wrong.
The reason is very simple, many of the gunmen who boarded the ship behind were foreign faces. Judging by the way these people were dressed, they were very different from the people on the first boat. Xu Haibao, who had been abroad, quickly thought of a type of person who was very similar to him.
A kind of warmonger who has a lot of combat experience and often fights only for money!
Thinking of these people suddenly appearing, Xu Haibao really doubted whether the other party would come for him. But the problem is that Xu Haibao thinks it should be unlikely. The reason is that Xu Haibao did not prepare in advance when he came here to stay on the island.
This also means that even if someone pays attention to his itinerary, they should not know that he will stay on a desert island for a night. So why did this group of uninvited guests suddenly appear on the island late at night? Is it for money, or for something else?
Just as Xu Haibao was analyzing the reason for the sudden appearance of these people, the three small boats suddenly formed a three-way formation and began to accelerate towards the desert island. In view of this situation, Xu Haibao knew that it would not work without a heavy hand.
Holding the assault rifle in his hand, Xu Haibao shot for the second time. If the previous shot was only a warning, then this shot was completely aimed at destroying the enemy. Deal with one more gunman, and the team members behind you will be safer.
"Tiger shark, prepare for battle! I'll respond at sea, and you'll stop you on the island. Stay safe!"
"Understood! Swordfish, you should be careful!"
After a brief call, Xu Haibao pulled the trigger a second time towards the boat heading straight for the yacht. With the crisp sound of gunfire, bullets flew out, and soon hit the armed men in charge of driving the ship.
Listening to the militants who fell into the sea with a scream, Xu Haibao's expression was still very calm. Even if he hadn't experienced this in his previous life, Xu Haibao had such an experience when he punished the general manager of Subifu last time.
The first shot killed the gunman who was in charge of driving the boat, and the boat began to veer off course. In this process, Xu Haibao was still calm and composed, and kept shooting. At the same time, there were people in small boats who launched a counterattack towards the yacht.
Xu Haibao, who was lying in front of the yacht, knew that he couldn't be good as soon as the gun was fired, and quickly said: "Xiaojin, it's your turn to appear!"
Xu Haibao, who avoided everyone before, was also to train his newly acquired pets. Through the things inherited by the Nameless Pearl, Xu Haibao also knows how to communicate with the Snake King. Use mental power to give instructions to the little snake with some intelligence.
With the appearance of the obviously thick and small golden snake, after Xu Haibao gave it instructions through spiritual power, although the golden snake was a little dissatisfied, he knew that he could not refuse Xu Haibao's instructions. The reason is that if it wants to evolve, it must rely on Xu Haibao.
Even if it has not been raised in the nameless bead for a long time, the golden little snake that can be soaked in the spiritual water has increased its strength a lot. And the nameless pearl is Xu Haibao's, as a captive and tenant, he dare not go against Xu Haibao's wishes.
Looking at the golden snake that appeared on the deck, still very cold and arrogant, Xu Haibao continued to use his spiritual power and said: "Speed up and kill the people on that boat." When these people are settled, I'll send you in!"
If someone stays by Xu Haibao's side at this moment and sees or hears this scene, I am afraid that my jaw will drop in shock. After listening to Xu Haibao's instructions, the golden snake nodded very humanely, turned around and rushed into the seawater.
Having obtained many inheritances of the Nameless Pearl, Xu Haibao also knows how to train this spiritual animal. What's more, the golden snake itself is the king of snakes, and it also has a certain amount of wisdom and can sense Xu Haibao's help to it.
After only staying in the Nameless Pearl Space for a period of time, the little golden snake has evolved to a certain extent. Earlier, it attacked Xu Haibao because Xu Haibao had dug up the snake heart grass that could be used for it to evolve. And the nameless pearl water is more suitable for the evolution of small snakes than snake heart grass.
Although Xu Haibao does not know snake language and beast language, he knows how to use spiritual power to communicate with the snake king. Through spiritual power, after gaining the trust of the golden little snake, he can naturally order this weird little snake to fight.
On the sea at night, I believe that those militants who came to the desert island would never have imagined that the real threat did not come from the assault rifle in Xu Haibao's hand. The biggest threat is the inconspicuous little golden snake that swims into the sea.
Zhao Ji and the others, who were in charge of blocking on the desert island, watched the other two small boats start to land on the island from both sides, and Zhao Ji, who was in charge of the command, quickly said: "Red snapper, kill the other party's boat operator, and slow down their landing on the island!"
"Red snapper received!"
Among the equipment Xu Haibao carried this time, the only sniper rifle was in the hands of the red snapper. Before being recruited into the salvage team, the red snapper was also a sniper for the frogman team. Although the sniper rifle is different from that used in the army, it is still accurate.
Looking at the two small boats that were getting closer to the firing range, the red snapper stared at the mercenaries who bent down and continued to drive the boat. After locking on the opponent's body, he shot decisively while the boat was shaking and the opponent's body was slightly exposed.
The gunshots rang out, and the mercenary who was in charge of operating the ship was directly overturned and fell into the sea. The speedboat quickly lost momentum and began to shake at sea. If it weren't for the quick eyes of the mercenary next to him, I was afraid that this speedboat would probably capsize.
After successfully sniping at a target, the red snapper turns its attention to another small boat. I was somewhat surprised to see that there were snipers on the desert island, and these mercenaries who were about to forcibly land on the island.
Everyone knows that Huaxia is a forbidden area for mercenaries. Although this is a desert island on the high seas, the Chinese side has not paid much attention to it. After all, there are many desert islands like this in the South China Sea, which are not suitable for garrisoning.
Just when Zhao Ji and the others were waiting for a close battle with the mercenaries on the other two small boats. The mercenary lurking in another small boat that was about to storm the yacht was suddenly attacked by an unknown person.
Many of the mercenaries lying on the ship suddenly felt a pain somewhere on their bodies, and before they could react to what was going on, they felt that their eyes began to turn black, and something was flowing out of their mouths and noses.
By the time they realized they had been attacked, and before they could call for help, the small boat not far from the yacht had capsized in the sea. The mercenaries who were on this small boat all fell into the sea and never floated up again!
