An ominous premonition rose in Yang De's heart. He casually dragged out a pirate who had climbed onto the speedboat, picked up the translator, and asked, "Where are the hostages?"

The pirate paused for a moment, then trembled...

He led Yang De into the cabin.

The hostages were being held in a place that was not hard to find; they were all being held in a hall that had been converted from a deck below.

The moment Yang De saw the hostages, his grip on the pirate's neck tightened.

-

He Ao looked at the pirate treasure chest in his hand.

This treasure chest has been much more well-behaved since it touched the Miracle Wand, but once Heo separates it slightly from the Miracle Wand...

It will then begin to tentatively try to seduce Heo.

He Ao turned the box around and played with it.

This box looks like it belonged to the person who set up the cruise ship trap, most likely Balan, the leader of the Free Marines.

Since Balan dared to put this extraordinary item here so boldly, it's most likely because this extraordinary item has special abilities and is not afraid of being 'lost'.

This is a C-grade box, which isn't weak. To find out how to use it, we'll probably have to find its original owner.

He Ao packed up the box and looked ahead.

At this moment, he could already see the coal ship approaching with his naked eye.

The ship adjusted its course, but did not completely avoid the research institute's cruise ship; instead, it maintained a suitable approach.

Now, the two ships are about to reach the closest point.

"Captain, the research institute's support ship will be here soon, in about twenty minutes."

At that moment, Ye Feng suddenly ran over excitedly.

Ye Feng seemed to have gotten used to being called the captain and couldn't change it for a while, while He Ao didn't care about the title either.

He raised his binoculars and could see a light in the distance, slowly approaching.

Judging from the distance, those should be the ships supporting the research institute.

He then lowered his binoculars and looked at Ye Feng behind him, "Is the speedboat ready?"

"Ready."

Ye Feng nodded slightly.

"Stay vigilant."

He Ao stretched his limbs, walked to the side of the boat, and saw the speedboat that Ye Feng had prepared.

Then he looked up at the coal ship not far away.

At this moment, the coal carrier has reached the point where it is closest to the research institute's cruise ship. If it continues to move forward, the distance between the two will gradually increase.

In that instant, the coal ship suddenly changed direction and headed towards the cruise ship.

"What's going on with them?! I'll contact them and ask."

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, then rushed into the driver's seat. Less than a minute later, he quickly ran back and looked at He Ao in a panic, "Captain, our radio and satellite communications have been jammed."

"Ah."

He Ao nodded slightly, looked up at the coal ship, where the flag of the Tia Empire was being slowly lowered. "Sound the alarm, arrange for the entire ship to be on alert, and don't panic."

Then, carrying his briefcase, he leaped onto the speedboat below and untied the mooring ropes securing it.

A flash of lightning illuminated the earth, followed by a deafening roar of thunder.

In the flash of lightning, the entire dark world was briefly illuminated.

The rain shelter on the coal ship was suddenly lifted, revealing not a mountain of cargo, but rows of brand-new helicopters neatly arranged underneath.

Large raindrops fell from the sky, and the gale whipped up waves, causing He's speedboat to churn in the surf.

Upon his return, he briefly activated his super memory and memorized the methods used by the speech master and Ye Feng to operate the speedboat.

Operating the speedboat wasn't complicated. At first, He Ao was a bit rusty and almost capsized with the waves. However, his reaction speed and strength were top-notch, and he managed to balance the speedboat using his own strength. He then quickly mastered how to operate the speedboat while battling the waves.

Then he steered the speedboat, cutting white waves in the dark sea, and sailed towards the coal ship ahead.

At this moment, the superhumans on the cruise ship had heard the alarm and come out, staring blankly at Heo's back.

Watching him steer the speedboat at breakneck speed, riding the rolling waves, and moving forward in the storm.

Compared to the massive coal carrier and the boundless waves, this speedboat was so small, yet so powerful and fearless.

The flashes of lightning illuminated the sky once more, and countless bolts of lightning spread along the dark clouds, like a radiant tree blooming in the sky.

Under this dazzling light,

The howling wind, the rolling sea, the undulating giant ship, and the tiny speedboat riding the waves towards the giant ship—all of these are brought together.

They were framed within the same night sky.

For a moment, everyone on the cruise ship fell into a brief silence, overwhelmed by the vast yet tiny scene.

"That guy probably isn't thinking," the commentator watched He Ao's retreating figure, "that he'll take on all those pirates by himself..."

As she spoke, her voice gradually faded.

The superhumans standing nearby, their bodies bandaged and mostly injured, also fell silent.

"I'll go up and cover him."

With a pale and somewhat weak face, Liu Nan slung her gun over her shoulder and headed for the stairs.

After that fierce battle, the only people on the entire cruise ship without bandages were the four members of He Ao's reconnaissance team and Liu Nan, the sniper.

However, Liu Nan had been attacked by a psychologist before. Although there were no obvious external injuries, she was now extremely weak, so she had been resting in the cabin and had not come out.

Everyone watched He Ao's retreating figure and fell silent.

The people on this ship can no longer afford to fight a fierce defensive battle.

This time, they won't be as lucky as before and won't be able to save their lives.

This is probably one of the reasons why the other side is willing to risk launching an attack at this time.

"The research institute's support will arrive in about ten minutes,"

Ye Feng took a deep breath and looked at everyone. He was now the temporary first mate. With He Ao absent, he was the leader of the ship. "Everyone, go back to your positions. The more we can hold out, the less pressure the captain will be under."

Everyone nodded silently and returned to their defensive positions.

They all knew that the acting captain was going alone because he was the strongest and would try his best to hold off as many enemies as possible, giving everyone time to breathe and reduce the pressure.

However, no matter how strong he is, he probably cannot hold off all the enemies, and pirates will inevitably come.

The greater the pressure the cruise ship withstands, the less pressure the acting captain will face.

They didn't know the true strength of the acting captain, but they knew that he wasn't a god; like them, he could get hurt and die.

The more they endure, the greater the chance the acting captain will survive.

This time is different from the last. If they can hold out until the research institute's support arrives, they will win.

But this also means that the enemy will become even more frantic.

A heavy, silent atmosphere permeated the deck.

This time, I really will die.

Just then, a murmured voice suddenly rang out on the deck, "Brother, have some candy."

The commentator, holding the little girl Nini's hand, handed out candies to the people guarding the deck.

This time, not only were there superhumans, but some crew members also picked up guns and stood on the ship's side.

The superhuman with bandages on his hands smiled and took the candy from Nini's hand. "Thank you."

"Thank you."

"Thank you."

With each "thank you," smiles gradually appeared on the faces of the people on deck.

The first superhuman to receive the candy put it in his mouth and pulled the bolt.

With a crisp mechanical clanging sound, the bandage on his arm, stained with bright red blood, was gradually soaked with more and more blood, as his newly bandaged wound had reopened.

"Fuck him!"

A polite voice suddenly came from beside me.

The superhuman turned his head and saw a hand.

The crew member holding the gun was biting into candy, trying to bolster his courage.

He chuckled, gripping the gun tightly. "Fuck you! You bastards!"

-

The other party's behavior was very risky, extremely risky.

Standing in the pouring rain, He Ao watched the coal ship getting closer and closer.

This is the territorial waters of the Republic of Nolei. To carry out piracy here would inevitably anger the Republic of Nolei, attract its navy, and ignite international public opinion.

The research institute's support ships are about to arrive, and the enemy has less than twenty minutes to act.

In such a short time, the enemy needs to break through the entire cruise ship's defenses, eliminate the resistance on board, and gain control of the ship and escape.

This plan is very difficult, but it is not impossible to succeed.

Firstly, after a fierce defensive battle, most of the people on the cruise ship had suffered significant injuries, greatly reducing their fighting capacity.

Secondly, the surrounding area is a safe zone, and the research institute's support is about to arrive. Now is the time when everyone's defensive awareness is at its weakest. If they handle it well, they may even be able to board the cruise ship before it can react.
