"The situation is turning grim," one said.
"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.

Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...

The cruise ship was large, providing ample space for Li Changzhou to evade bodyguards and surveillance, which resulted in his search progressing extremely slowly.
Even on the yacht, which felt like an isolated island, 'Hamburg' remained vigilant, with all security personnel armed and patrolling back and forth.
Li Changzhou arrived at the stern of the yacht and found a helipad where a helicopter was parked, and staff were inspecting and refueling it.
"Quick! Fill the gas tank, the young lady needs it!"
They were incredibly cautious; not only did they immediately leave Hamburg by cruise ship, but they also switched to a helicopter midway through the journey.
This is indeed a very good approach, but Li Changzhou cannot allow 'Hamburger' to ride in a helicopter.
The probability of encountering danger in the air is small. In contrast, if danger does occur, these gods, who have been reduced to mortals, can only watch helplessly.
There is a high probability of encountering danger at sea, but at least they still have a chance to fight.
He decided to destroy the helicopter, not only to stop 'Hamburger' from leaving, but also to remind her that cruise ships are not safe.
But how do I destroy it?
Li Changzhou wasn't incapable of it; with just a coin, a knife and fork, and a little effort, he could render the helicopter unusable.
But is this something a normal person can do?
Once the "hamburger" detects a player's presence, the system will immediately eliminate them.
This is a bit of a dilemma. Are we just going to watch our target get on the helicopter and escape their protection?
Directly kidnapping the target?
No, that would definitely expose my uniqueness and I would be eliminated.
However, these rules also restrict another group of players, who are unlikely to use force openly.
Li Changzhou also discovered something: as his strength increased, his thinking was becoming more inclined to solve problems with violence.
This is absolutely not the mindset of a "winner".
Is that why games limit skill levels?
Do! Do! Do!
The sound of propellers could be heard.
"...Am I an Earthling, or are you Earthlings? I'm thinking of resolving this by force, and you're using modern weapons?!" Li Changzhou watched as the black dot gradually enlarged.
Behind the black dot, there are drones forming a square formation.
On this boundless sea, it seems as if a shark is leading a group of greedy piranhas on a hunt.
"Helicopter! There's a helicopter in the sky!" Li Changzhou shouted, his voice slightly exceeding the limits of ordinary people, an extremely loud voice.
No one paid him any attention; everyone instinctively assumed the voice belonged to one of their own and all looked up at the sky.
"Protect the young lady!"
"Prepare the lifeboats, keep an eye on the helicopter!"
"Open fire as soon as you spot the target!"
"Where's the helicopter? Where is it?"
"To the east!"
"A security guard with binoculars shouted, 'There are also drones! Don't let them get close!'"
"
The cruise ship erupted in a frenzy, with security personnel moving like bubbles, fully armed.
Pistols and rifles, a row of dark gun barrels.
At the same time, Li Changzhou walked towards the west deck.
Two players climbed onto the yacht from the west. They were wearing rudimentary armor, which was surprising enough, but not beyond human technology.
The two sides faced off on the deck.
“I’ll hold him off, you go find your target,” the tall man said.
"Be careful, he's the one who took Hongge's arm," the short man said.
“Murder is murder, don’t frame me.” Li Changzhou looked the two men up and down. “That arm is still soaking in the seawater at the port. I didn’t take it. As a lawyer, how could I take even a needle or thread from an ordinary citizen?”
The other side raised its arm and turned the remaining fuel in the thruster—otherwise, how could it catch up with the cruise ship?—into flames.
A gentle sea breeze blew, flames roared, and a mighty inferno lunged at Li Changzhou.
At the same time, the short man who was supposed to go find the 'hamburger' drew a steel knife from his waist.
The black battle blade tore through the air with a sharp whistle as it slashed down at Li Changzhou's waist.
The two men had guns, but they were useless.
They didn't want to attract the attention of security personnel. Once discovered, unless they used abilities far beyond those of ordinary people, they would only face certain death under the guns of many.
Moving will only lead to certain death.
With a thought, Li Changzhou swayed backward.
It was as if someone had suddenly pulled his spine, and he was thrown backward into the air, avoiding the flames and steel blades.
"Kill him!" The tall man abandoned his flamethrower and drew a steel knife instead.
laugh!
Two flashes of light concealed everything as they slashed toward Li Changzhou.
"What's going on?!"
Whoosh!
Just as Li Changzhou was about to make his move, the three of them, along with the other two who had already taken action, flipped over the handrail and hid on the cruise ship like geckos.
"Young Miss, the enemy has deployed helicopters and drones, with a range exceeding ours. We must leave immediately! The submarine is ready!"
"Damn it, who is it?!"
"It could very well be the Ruth Group, whose orders were stolen, but everything is still unknown. It's also possible that someone is deliberately trying to frame us. The submarine can reach Britain, where there are Kiyono family planes that can return directly to Japan."
brush!
The tall man and the short man each supported their bodies with one hand while swinging their knives at Li Changzhou with the other.
The blade flashed silently, its sharp edge gleaming.
Li Changzhou used his arms to pull himself up and swept the steel knife away with his leg.
The moment the steel knife was released, the tall man and the short man each grabbed one of Li Changzhou's legs.
Their eyes were bloodshot, their bones creaking, as they struggled to tear each other apart.
Li Changzhou tensed his body, released one hand, and with his five fingers forming a claw, grabbed at the tall man's head.
This claw strike was swift as lightning, aimed at vital organs such as the eyes.
The tall man only had a simple waterproof mask on his face; if you grabbed him too tightly, you could tear five holes in his head.
This is practically a modern version of the Nine Yin White Bone Claw.
Although Li Changzhou used the moves of Shaolin Eagle Claw Fist, he employed the spirit of Black Tiger Stealing Heart.
Li Changzhou does not know the "Nine Yin White Bone Claw".
