Grandma Zhu also noticed the arrows falling from the sky and quickly waved and shouted to her grandson and daughter-in-law.

"Hide, quick!"

At the command, everyone rushed towards the cabin like madmen.

Upon seeing this, Pei Sining quickly handed the cart to Liu and hurriedly gave her instructions.

"Madam Liu, I'm leaving Xixi in your care. Go and help her."

When Zhu Dabao saw that Pei Sining was going to marry into the army, he also stood up and said, "Mother, I want to go too."

Liu didn't want her son to get involved in this, but he was all grown up now and she couldn't treat him like a child anymore.

Despite her deep reluctance, she forced back her tears and encouraged her son.

"Okay, you must take good care of yourself."

Upon hearing that his mother was willing to let him participate in the battle, Zhu Dabao happily turned and ran towards the deck.

The battle on the deck had begun, with the white tiger flapping its wings in the air to intercept the incoming arrows.

Just then, the maned wolf suddenly appeared, opened its blood-red maw, and pounced on the white tiger.

The sudden appearance of the maned wolf caused the white tiger to lose its balance and rush towards the sea.

After seeing that the cargo ship had lost the protection of the White Tiger, Zhu Yanyan raised her large knife and shouted ahead.

"Brothers, charge! Kill everyone on the ship!"

The pirate ship quickly approached the cargo ship. After seeing the pirate ship approaching, Zhu Chenfeng hurriedly waved to the crew.

"Quickly, fire arrows and fireballs!"

Under Zhu Haotian's orders, the crew hurriedly operated the crossbows mounted on the ship and the fireballs placed on the slingshots.

The rocket, carrying a fireball, flew towards the pirate ship, but the people seemed to have lost the ability to feel pain.

Even being shot with arrows or caught in fire couldn't stop them; they numbly carried planks and laid them between the two boats.

Just as the pirates were stepping onto the planks to board the ship, a man dressed in plain clothes suddenly appeared beside Zhu Chenfeng and easily overturned the pirates who had already climbed onto the planks.

These men moved extremely quickly, and in a matter of moments they had deprived the pirates of their means of boarding the ship.

After seeing that these people were buying time for everyone, Zhu Chenfeng quickly shouted to everyone.

"Keep firing arrows, don't stop."

Just as Zhu Chenfeng and Zhu Haotian were leading the Chinese in a fierce fight against the approaching pirate ship, Wang Haocheng and Chen Xiang suddenly came to his side.

"Young Master Zhu, you should take the Zhu family away first, otherwise the boat may not be saved."

"That's right! Even if we manage to fend off this pirate ship, reinforcements will come later, and we simply don't have enough manpower."

Chen Xiang also felt that the only way to survive was to abandon ship and escape this sea area.

Zhu Chenfeng disagreed with this plan. If they left, Wang Haocheng and Chen Xiang would not be able to leave alive.

Zhu Haotian also felt that he could not be a person who betrayed his promise. "That's right, we men of the Zhu family are definitely not people who betray their promises."

"No, even if we have to hold on until the very last moment, we, the Zhu family, will stay with you."

Upon hearing this, Wang Haocheng turned to Chen Xiang with a helpless expression, looking haggard, and asked with a sigh.

"Brother Chen, why don't you leave?"

"I'm not leaving either. If it weren't for you, we would probably have died countless times already."

Chen Xiang understood better than anyone that even if he left with faith, he might not survive at sea without water or food.

Since everyone is going to die eventually, why not die with dignity?

"Alright, since no one's leaving, let's go all out."

Wang Haocheng didn't want to abandon his boat and escape, so he smiled and took out a few red ribbons from his sleeve and handed them to the group.

"It is my honor to have shared life and death with several of you."

Zhu Chenfeng, Zhu Haotian, and Chen Xiang resolutely took the red ribbons handed to them by Wang Haoche and tied them on their heads.

Afterwards, the men picked up their broadswords and ran toward the ship, slashing at the pirates who had boarded.

Seeing everyone working so hard, Xixi decided not to be idle either, and struggled to drag her submachine gun to the screen.

She mimicked the adults' postures, and after aiming at the pirates, she decisively pulled the trigger.

The bullet passed through the screen and struck the pirates attacking the ship, hitting them successfully.

Xi Xi happily spun around in place, then continued to aim at the island where she would board the cargo ship.

At the same time, the white tiger, which had fallen into the sea, also overpowered the maned wolf, trapping it at the bottom of the sea.

Then, it flew out of the sea and crashed into the pirate ship, whereupon the white tiger struck it.

The pirate ship instantly developed cracks, which split along the hull.

Many pirates who wanted to board the ship stepped on the crack and fell into the sea one after another.

Even though the ship was about to collapse, the pirates still jumped onto the cargo ship without hesitation.

However, not far from the sea, more than a dozen pirate ships were anchored on the surface.

Zhu Yanyan stood on the deck like a queen, holding a coffee in her hand, comfortably enjoying the joy of impending victory.

"Grandma Wang, does it mean that if someone boards the ship and brings the Gu worms onto it, everyone on board will die?"

"That's right, even if these pirates fall into the water, they will fight desperately to get back on the ship for this goal."

After seeing the Zhu family's disheveled state through her binoculars, Granny Wang's face lit up with excitement.

"No rush. Even if the first batch of pirates fails, we will have a second and a third batch. The Zhu family will eventually be exhausted."

"Then, it will be the death knell for the Zhu family."

Zhu Yanyan was very satisfied with the situation before her. She excitedly went to the ship and looked into the distance with anticipation on her face.

Xixi overheard their conversation and clenched her little fists in anger, crossing her arms and giving off a look that suggested an adult was deep in thought.

It seems Zhu Yanyan intends to use the pirates as bombs.

[As soon as someone boards the ship, the Gu worms will spread.]

This practice is absolutely vicious.

With this in mind, Xixi had no choice but to grit her teeth and make a ruthless decision: she would drop bombs near the pirate ship.

This is to help everyone buy time. Although the chances of winning are slim, we should still give it a shot.

Without hesitation, she rushed to the armory, found several bombs, and set the timers.

She frantically adjusted the image, constantly zooming in, and finally carefully placed the bomb near the pirate ship.

After doing all that, she stared nervously at the screen, clenching her little hands in prayer.

She didn't intend to hurt anyone, and that's why she specifically chose a bomb with low lethality.

The bomb exploded with a deafening roar moments after it entered the sea.

The scene shows seawater splashing everywhere, and the pirate ships are instantly capsized by the sea the moment the bombs go off.

The pirates kept falling into the sea like dumplings being dropped into soup.

Some ships even developed cracks in their hulls, while others were completely destroyed.

Xixi clapped her hands happily as she watched the scene unfold.

Although most of the pirate ships were torn apart by bombs, the crew members, who were infected with the Gu worm, still obeyed Zhu Yanyan's orders.

Everyone swam frantically toward the Zhu family's cargo ship. The surging crowd had ferocious faces, their eyes completely black, and they had completely lost their minds.

The distant roar caught Zhu Chenfeng's attention. When he looked in the direction of the sound, he saw pirates swimming towards the cargo ship.

He quickly shouted to the crowd, "Get the ship out of here! The pirates are coming!"

After dealing with the pirates who wanted to climb onto the cargo ship, Wang Haocheng quickly turned around, climbed onto the helm, and manipulated the helm to change the direction of the cargo ship.

After hearing Zhu Chenfeng's words, the white tiger flew to the pirates and frantically flapped its wings.

The wind generated by the enormous wings instantly caused the sea to surge, with waves rising and falling like small mountains.
