People are in the comprehensive tomb, unloading the mountain and stealing the chief

The situation was at a stalemate for a while, and neither side took any rash action.

However, as the ships of both sides gradually approached each other, this balance was bound to be broken.

Chen Ziyan quickly glanced at his opponent's situation and made a decision immediately.

He did not speak directly, but took out a rifle and decisively pulled the trigger at the people on the other ship.

He did not see the need for negotiations, so he decided to weaken the other side first and consider other matters later.

The gunshot was like a signal. At the moment the gunshot rang out, the tense nerves of both sides instinctively drove their bodies to react.

Since Chen Ziyan and his men had stronger firepower, the initial evenly matched situation was quickly broken and the situation began to tilt in their favor. At this time, Chen Ziyan, who had retreated behind the bunker, nodded with satisfaction.

The situation was just as he expected!
The reason he fired first was because he had foreseen this scene.

If he didn't have this certainty, he would definitely act cautiously.

However, after a period of exchange of fire, their firepower advantage gradually weakened as the remaining enemy personnel also took shelter in the bunkers.

At this time, the captain quietly came to Chen Ziyan and whispered: "Master Chen, if we want to seize the opponent's fuel, we can't delay any longer. From my observation, I'm afraid they can't hold on for much longer."

He had been observing secretly, and when he saw that his side had the upper hand, he immediately put forward his own judgment.

If the stalemate continued, even if the enemy's ships were eventually captured, there would not be enough time to transport fuel.

After all, moving fuel takes time.

"Now is not the best time, do we have any other options?" Chen Ziyan asked, examining the situation outside. He understood the captain's concerns, but he also knew that if he launched a strong attack now, it would be tantamount to giving up the advantage he had just gained.

After all, it was the enemy's ship. If they boarded the ship rashly, the enemy might use the terrain to counterattack.

"They have been trying to communicate, I am going to try to persuade them to surrender." After pondering, the captain came up with a strategy. Although it sounds a bit unrealistic, the possibility of success is not low, because the other side has few options left.

If the stalemate continues, they will only be waiting to die on the sinking ship, and there will be no chance for them to resist.

If you choose to surrender, at least you can save your life.

"Then let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, we'll abandon this ship. The enemy's firepower is beyond our expectations, and forcible capture may cause unnecessary losses." Chen Ziyan said after thinking about it.

He did not intend to use the puppet armor, so if he wanted to forcibly capture the opponent's ship, he would inevitably pay a price for it, but he thought it was not worth it.

He was sure that there would be other ships to come, and he didn't believe that every ship would have this level of firepower.

If they encounter a ship with a limited number of weapons, it will be easy to capture it under his leadership, so there is no need to pay unnecessary costs for the ship in front of him.

"I understand." The captain also understood this principle. He nodded and went to the control room.

He knew the subtext of Chen Ziyan's words, which was to indirectly tell him that he could take a tougher stance in negotiations because they did not care too much about the final outcome.

Being able to convince the other side to surrender would naturally be the best outcome, because once they have replenished their fuel, they will no longer have to worry about anything.

But even if the negotiations failed, they could accept it calmly, after all, they believed that they would encounter other ships.

After the captain left, Chen Ziyan gave new instructions to his men: maintain the status quo and there was no need to board the ship by force.

Time passed slowly and several minutes went by.

During this period, the enemy's ship kept trying to get closer, but each time it was cleverly avoided by us, and the distance between the two sides was always maintained in a safe range. "Master Chen, it succeeded."

Just then, the captain came back with a face full of joy.

"Did they agree to surrender?" Chen Ziyan asked.

Although he anticipated that the other party might accept the offer of surrender if they had no other choice, he did not expect it to happen so quickly.

"Yes, they agree, and will soon lay down their weapons and come out," replied the captain.

Upon hearing the news, Chen Ziyan immediately notified his men and told them not to attack again once the other party laid down their weapons and came out.

After making all the arrangements, Chen Ziyan turned to look at the captain and said, "Master, how did you convince them to surrender so quickly?"

The captain smiled smugly: "I just explained our situation to them."

Chen Ziyan was a little surprised at first, but soon understood the captain's strategy.

This not only forced the other side to surrender early, but also helped them find out the situation they wanted to know.

First, they tried to find out whether there were other ships in the area. After all, the other party had been wandering around and had more information than them.

If there were no other ships nearby, the other side would not surrender so quickly after learning of their problem, because they would also have a bargaining chip.

But now the information revealed by the captain prompted the other party to make a decision, which showed that their previous guess was correct and they could encounter other ships on their way back, and they might even be nearby.

Second, they also took advantage of the potential shortage of fuel.

Normally, this hidden danger should not be disclosed, but if the other party has the intention to surrender, then this becomes a problem that both parties need to face together.

If there really was not enough fuel, they as prisoners would also be implicated, so in order to have enough time to transport the fuel, they chose to surrender as soon as possible.

"It seems that this ship is still a lone ranger." After understanding the captain's intention, Chen Ziyan suddenly realized another problem.

That is, the enemy ship has no reinforcements, or even any allies nearby.

Otherwise, they actually have other options.

Thinking about it this way, it’s no wonder that they are chasing so hard.

"Through the communication just now, I have a general understanding of the situation. The other party seems to belong to an overseas ocean salvage company, but I couldn't hear clearly which one it was." The captain revealed the information he obtained.

“It may not be that simple.”

Chen Ziyan expressed his doubts about this, because even if it was an overseas salvage company, they could ask other ships for help. Unlike Chen Ziyan and his team, they did not want to attract other people's covetousness after obtaining a large amount of treasures, so they could only avoid contact with outsiders.

and many more!

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan suddenly realized a possibility, that is, the other party’s ship might have similar things.

It’s not that they don’t have reinforcements to contact, but they are worried that the other party will have bad intentions once they know their situation.

While the captain was trying to get information from the other party, the other party might also be trying to understand their background. After confirming that they were not clear about the situation, they chose to surrender. (End of this chapter)
