A fist-sized metal sphere drew a parabola in the air and was thrown from the west bank of Wolong River towards the "Hanjiang City".
The force of the throw was so great that it actually tore through the air, and a faint sound of breaking wind was heard.
The iron ball hit the deck, making a metallic collision sound. The people on board immediately became extremely alert. Some people searched along the shore for the source of the iron ball, while others stared at the rolling iron ball.
The iron ball hit an obstacle and stopped, and they were shocked to find that it was actually a blasting bomb.
"Hold!"
“Run!”
Everyone looked for shelter nearby the moment they reacted.
The next second, there was a loud bang, and the iron fragments of the blasting bomb flew in all directions. The impact force knocked the man closest to the center of the explosion five meters away.
But the alloy deck of the hull was intact, with only irregular black burn marks left on the surface.
Just when everyone had just calmed down, the second, third, and fourth torpedoes... were thrown out in a series from the shore, landing on the bridge and decks on various levels.
The people on board fled in all directions to avoid the mines, explosions rang out one after another, and shrapnel flew everywhere.
Zhang Jian hid behind the iron gate. The shrapnel hit the iron sheet with a clang, and he almost became deaf.
They were always the ones who took the initiative to attack others, but this time the sudden attack from the enemy hiding in the dark caught them off guard.
He held onto his headset and said, "Boss, we're being attacked!"
"Fight back at all costs." A young and gentle voice said in the headset.
At this time, the distorted space at the bow returned to normal, and the wormhole that was about to take shape disappeared into thin air.
Zhang Jian gestured and led the other three men into the weapon launch bay.
The electro-optical cannon and rocket launcher at the bow simultaneously turned 360 degrees, searching for targets in the low weeds on the west bank of Wolong River.
However, after a minute, even with the scope adjusted to the highest magnification, nothing unusual was found in the weeds.
They clearly saw that the explosive bomb was thrown from this direction, but it didn't matter if they couldn't find the specific location.
Zhang Jian gestured again.
Fire coverage.
The launch button was pressed, and the rocket launcher fired thousands of arrows at once. Each shell hit the designated target with a dragon roar, and the explosion raised a cloud of smoke.
The air was filled with smoke and the entire west coast was ablaze with raging flames, with red flames rising into the sky.
Tao Sai floated on the water, his body rubbing against the hull and slowly rising, holding onto the railing on the side of the boat and climbing up.
She timed her action: four and a half minutes, or 270 seconds.
At this time, these people outside should all be player characters, some insignificant minions, and the real "extremely dangerous players" should be hiding in the cabin.
Tao Sai pushed open a hatch on the side and sneaked in, then gently closed the door.
She had originally thought that a Class 4 refuge ship must have an internal alarm system that would be triggered if someone broke in, but this ship clearly didn't have one.
There were two possibilities: either the refugee boat owner had made a mistake, or he was simply too arrogant to believe anyone would dare stab him in the heart. Tao Sai preferred the latter.
Tao Sai walked forward quickly, holding a saber in his hand.
Use [Gravity Adaptation] to reduce your own gravity so that you don't need to deliberately lighten your footsteps and they won't make too much noise.
She had only one goal: the captain's cabin.
Tao Sai is now in a corridor at the edge of the cabin, connecting the crew rest cabin and the deck. There should be no one in the rest cabin in broad daylight, so this corridor is safe for the time being.
She was familiar with the structure of a Class 4 refuge ship, and knew the location of the captain's cabin by heart. It was still located behind the cockpit, but unlike a Class 3 refuge ship, it could also be reached via a staircase outside the storage compartment.
Turning the thin plate wall in front of you, at the end of the corridor is the steel staircase leading to the captain's room.
Tao Sai suddenly stopped and heard a conversation coming from behind the wall.
She leaned her back against the wall and observed what was happening behind it through the reflective stainless steel.
Two burly men were leaning against the ventilation window and smoking. They were estimated to be about 1.85 meters tall, giving off a very oppressive vibe.
They were blocking the only way. If they didn't go through here, they had to go through the cockpit. But the cockpit was like the heart and brain of the ship, so the security was naturally even tighter than here.
Tao Sai looked up and around, using the skill [Gravity Adaptation] to float in the air, with his back against the ceiling but not sticking to it, maintaining a suspended state.
She stretched out her hand and pushed the wall forward. The strength of her arm was transferred to her body. She swam across the corridor and up the stairs like a fish, unnoticed.
I turned the doorknob and pushed open the door of the captain's room, but there was no one inside.
This shouldn't be his room. A fat guy's space definitely can't be decorated as simply and elegantly as this room.
If it's not the captain's room, then it must be the rest cabin below.
Tao Sai returned the same way and avoided the two smoking men again.
The rest cabin of the fourth-level shelter ship has three floors, including thirty-five small rooms. It is unrealistic to search each room one by one. It is a waste of time and easy to be exposed. By then, there will be no chance to find out the situation.
Tao Sai glanced at the countdown he had set for himself in the upper left corner of the panel. There were only 91 seconds left.
Time is precious.
She took out the explosive grenade she had purchased from her backpack, pulled the ring, and threw it hard into the middle corridor.
With a loud bang, the people in the rest cabin rushed out immediately, and the crew on the deck also gathered in the cabin after hearing the noise.
They all approached the stairs to the lower floor at the same time. Some of them went down the stairs quickly, and from the sound of their footsteps it seemed that they went down one floor.
The NPC characters in the game will subconsciously protect the players when they are in danger, and "Insect Tide Online" is no exception.
The bomb thrown by Tao Sai proves that the "player" should be at the bottom, and the specific location needs further verification.
Tao Sai landed on the ground and rushed towards the stairs with the help of the blasting bomb and the dissipating smoke.
He had just run a few steps away when a man in the smoke, holding a V9 submachine gun, fired a volley of bullets. The sparks formed a curved line and chased Tao Sai's body.
The submachine gun was silenced, and Tao Sai didn't realize it was a gunshot at first. Although she dodged behind the cover nimbly, the first few bullets still pierced her shoulder.
Blood continued to flow out of the wound and onto the floor, and severe pain spread throughout my body.
She turned her head and looked back, and found that there was a dead end behind the bunker.
The heavy sound of military boots hitting the ground was slowly approaching. Cheng Li quickly changed the magazine, put his hand on the trigger, and pointed the gun in the direction that gradually cleared the fog of war behind the bunker.
"Put your hands on your head and walk out slowly." Cheng Li shouted in a commanding tone.
But the next second, a dark figure darted out from behind the cover at the speed of a 100-meter sprint. Cheng Li hadn't expected her to charge in such a situation. There was a thousandth of a second's delay, but he was well-trained and pulled the trigger of his submachine gun.
The continuous bullets passed by Tao Sai's body. Cheng Li used his arms to resist the recoil of the submachine gun and aimed at the target in advance.
A series of bullets hit various parts of her body, leaving bloody holes all over her body, but she didn't show any sign of stopping.
Just when Cheng Li was stunned, Tao Sai ran all the way, jumped forward, and fell straight down the stairs.
Several men at the stairs quickly chased after her, and she rolled over and fell directly to the bottom floor.
Because she was running at full speed, the bullet wound was bleeding profusely, and Tao Sai's upper body was completely soaked with blood. She stood up with difficulty, but it was as if a shower had been thrown on her head, and the blood flowed down her clothes and pants to the floor, forming a pool of blood in an instant.
Her vision was somewhat obscured by the blood, and she reached out to wipe it, but there was more blood on her hands.
She could only try to open her eyes and look forward.
Tao Sai looked up and saw seven or eight men guarding a cabin. She remembered the number on the cabin, 109.
These men were originally resting in their room, having worked the night shift. Unarmed, they all took defensive stances, but when they saw the murderous, blood-soaked woman before them, who looked like the Grim Reaper, they unconsciously stepped back.
Perhaps because of too much blood loss, Tao Sai felt dizzy. Her legs, with holes in her knees and thighs, could no longer support her body, and she fell straight back.
Seeing her fall, several men cautiously surrounded her.
Cheng Li ran down the stairs quickly with a submachine gun in hand, while others upstairs were holding weapons.
At this moment, the door of room 109 opened, and a tall, thin man walked out. His skin was pale and bloodless, and his eye sockets were deep, making him look like he was in his early twenties.
"Is he dead?" Cao Yu asked.
"She should be dead," Cheng Li replied. Aside from the huge pool of blood and the wounds and bloody holes all over her body, he couldn't see her breathing or heartbeat.
Everyone made way for her, and Cao Yu walked closer to look at the lifeless woman lying on the ground.
Suddenly, Tao Sai opened her eyes and saw that there were only 5 seconds left on the countdown panel.
The silent and calm face seemed to smile, and this sudden smile made Cao Yu shudder.
Tao Sai pulled the explosive bomb hidden in his palm, and his eyes suddenly lost their expression.
A loud explosion resounded throughout the entire lower cabin.
Tao Sai opened her eyes on the shore. She had just used the [Clone] skill, leaving a clone here. The clone only existed for five minutes, so she set herself a 270-second action timer.
During these five minutes, as long as she is not killed instantly, her consciousness can switch back to the clone at any time and complete the exchange between the clone and the original body.
Tao Sai originally thought that he could use his life to scout the location of "Wei Ai Qu Wu Yi" and then use a blasting thunder to kill a few people, but he unexpectedly came into contact with him at such a close distance.
She switched her consciousness back to her body just one second before the explosion, so she couldn't be sure whether he made any evasive action at that second, but she was sure that at this distance, even if he was not seriously injured, he must have been affected.
Being injured alone is far from enough. Now may be the best time to kill him.
Tao Saima leaped back onto the Hanjiang City without stopping. She stood on the deck, T7 pistol in hand. The deck was now empty; the explosion had drawn everyone inside.
With the bullet loaded, Tao Sai moved forward step by step along the wall of the corridor, concentrating his attention and listening carefully to any movement.
She is a hunter, approaching her prey with caution.
There was no movement on the deck level and the middle level. Tao Sai guessed that everyone should be guarding the stairs on the ground floor at this time because that was the only entrance and exit.
She was sure that if she looked out at the stairs, she would be greeted by an unprecedented hail of bullets.
At this moment, the entire ship seemed to be so quiet that there was not a sound at all. Tao Sai could even hear his own heartbeat, steady and strong.
She tried hard to adjust her heartbeat to this rhythm, as neither tension nor relaxation would be conducive to her performance.
She has come to this point, and backing down would be the most unwise option.
Tao Sai closed her eyes and called up her memory of the fourth-level shelter ship. The three-dimensional image of the "Deep Sea Fish" appeared in her mind, and automatically adjusted its direction and zoomed in and out according to her thoughts.
The stairwell may not be the only entrance and exit on the ground floor, and there is also a ventilation duct.
If you crawl along the ventilation duct from the fan outlet on the outside of the bridge, you can climb to the top of the corridor and the ventilation outlet of the engine room.
But was she the only one who could think of the vent? I'm afraid not.
In the cramped space of the ventilation duct, she was absolutely passive.
Tao Sai's heart sank and he abandoned this idea.
At this time, the world channel was silent for a few minutes before new news began to roll in.
[Only Love Song Without Memory (Lv4)]: Let me go T_T
[Only Love Song No Memory (Lv4)]: Boss, I kneel down to you Orz
[Only Love Qu Wu Yi (Lv4)]: Boss, I know you want to fuck me, as long as you let me go, I will be your little brother, I will work like a cow or a horse for you!!!
Tao Sai paced steadily in the middle layer, not affected at all, because she had already closed the world channel, and her mind was focused, with only her prey in her eyes.
At this moment, there was a commotion under the [Hunting] board.
[Tang Sixi (Lv3)]: What's going on?!
[Mr. Butcaiyoushan (Lv3)]: It looks like this grandson has been fucked
[Three Feet of Life (Lv3)]: The mission coordinates are still there, without any change. I suspect "Qu Wuyi" has been intercepted by another player.
[Mr. Bucai Youshan (Lv3)]: Damn, who is so awesome!
[Three Feet of Life (Lv3)]: Being able to make a level 4 player beg for mercy is beyond words to describe as shocking.
[Zhizhi (Lv3)]: Have you noticed that there are actually five people in our channel?
[Tang Sixi (Lv3)]: Zhizhi, do you suspect it is @(Cx330)?
[Zhizhi (Lv3)]: Yes, you've all seen the hidden quest rewards, right? I believe no player would refuse a quest reward. If he doesn't accept the quest and goes to intercept Qu Wuyi, what's the point? And once you accept the hidden quest, you'll enter this channel, so I can only suspect this.
[Mr. Bucai Youshan (Lv3)]: @(Cx330), is that you, boss?
[Tang Sixi (Lv3)]: Worship.jpg
Of course Tao Sai didn't reply.
But this does not prevent the excitement in the [Hunting] channel.
[Mr. Bucai Youshan (Lv3)]: So cool, Qu Wuyi, you finally got what you deserve! Die!
[Tang Sixi (Lv3)]: I'm still far away from the coordinates, it's a pity that I can't see the big guys fighting with my own eyes
[Mr. Bucai Youshan (Lv3)]: Before Qu Wuyi gets killed, I'm going to go to the world channel and spit him out. Damn it, I can't beat him, but can't I still have some fun?
[Tang Sixi (Lv3)]: Uh... you're kind of taking advantage of others' power, aren't you?
[Mr. Bucai Youshan (Lv3)]: I am fighting, if you don't agree, bite me.
