The moment he regained consciousness, Cheng Xi suddenly opened his eyes.

The dizziness has not yet dissipated, the head is confused, the neck is burning, the chest and abdomen feel as if they have been hit hard, there is a dull pain between the ribs, and the heart is beating rapidly.

She realized she was under attack and the enemy was nearby!

In the corner of her eye, a hand attacked her. Cheng Xi instinctively tensed her body and tried to dodge sideways, but her body seemed to be restrained and she couldn't move.

The next second, the hand grabbed her hair and lifted her up.

Amidst the severe pain that felt like her scalp was tearing apart, Cheng Xi saw the man in front of her clearly.

He had dark skin, was shirtless, had a bun on his head, a full beard, and a hideous scar across his nose.

A strong smell of blood emanated from his body, and undried bloodstains were clearly visible.

Cheng Xi's pupils suddenly contracted - this was a desperado! She was in danger!

Despite the alarm bells ringing in his heart, Cheng Xi quickly calmed down, controlled his body, and did not struggle.

Seeing her standing there in a daze, with her clothes untied, the scar on the man's nose twitched, and he grinned, revealing his yellow teeth: "Little bitch, do you know how powerful grandpa is?!"

He laughed triumphantly, his laughter deafening. His scalp loosened, and Cheng Xi fell heavily to the ground. The man stood up, untied his belt, and said with a sinister grin: "Serve me obediently, and I might even spare your life."

Cheng Xi lay on the ground and quickly glanced around. It was a small wooden house with simple furnishings. There was only a bed and no one else. She took a deep breath, pushed herself up, and sat up.

Wang Scar looked at the disheveled woman sitting sideways before him, and the fire in his heart grew stronger. He was really lucky today. Not only did he rob a ship full of cargo, but he also captured a woman.

Fortunately, he had sharp eyes and didn't let this little bitch pretending to be a man get away with it. However, even if it was really a man, he wouldn't mind.

He strode forward, grabbed the woman's hair again, and forced her to look up: "Serve me well!"

In his opinion, even the most stubborn woman would be docile after a beating. Anyway, he had plenty of time, so he might as well enjoy it.

As expected, the woman didn't resist, but stretched out her hands tremblingly. Her hands were white and slender, and Wang Scar'er's throat rolled and he gasped.

However, the next second, there was a "click" sound and a scream. The severe pain made him clamp his legs together, and his whole body trembled as he fell to the ground.

When a man's vital parts are hit hard, the pain will make him lose his fighting ability instantly, and he may even fall into a coma or suffocate.

Cheng Xi had been waiting for this moment. The moment the man fell to the ground, she quickly stepped forward, stuffed the rag in her palm into the criminal's mouth, and then quickly picked up the belt that had fallen to the ground, wrapped it around the man's wrists and ankles several times, stepped on his vest, and folded it back forcefully, tying them together.

Although the rope was not long enough to strangle the neck, it was enough for the enemy who had already lost his fighting ability.

After confirming that the knot was secure, Cheng Xi stood up and looked around.

Where is this? No, I should say, what happened to her?

She looked down at her hands. They were a pair of fair and delicate hands with slender fingers and no calluses on the palms. They were completely different from the hands covered with calluses and scars in her memory.

This wasn't her body. She had calluses on her knuckles and scars on the backs of her hands; there was no way she could be this delicate.

The long hair and the low perspective also made her feel uncomfortable. She hadn't had long hair since she was ten, and it was impossible for her to become shorter out of thin air. Even without a mirror, Cheng Xi was sure that this body was definitely not hers.

How did she change her body?

With an ominous premonition in his heart, Cheng Xi quickly walked to the window and looked out.

It was pitch black outside, and it was almost impossible to see anything, but the air was filled with the familiar smell of the sea. Cheng Xi frowned and stepped on the wooden floor under his feet. He found that the slight shaking sensation was not from a concussion, but the floor was indeed moving.

Is this a sailing ship?

She didn't hear any engine noise, and the boat was made of wood. Could it be a sailboat? Even coastal fishermen rarely used this type of boat.

What's more, she was not at the beach before she fell into a coma.

As the commander of the Navy Special Commando, Cheng Xi was ordered to lead the team to cover the hostage rescue operation. From the flank, they successfully attracted most of the enemy's firepower and blocked the enemy's pursuit. However, at the last moment of retreat, an enemy drone locked onto them and a small missile hit their position.

Everything happened so fast that she had no time to think. However, even if she had survived, she shouldn't have suffered such minor injuries, let alone appeared on a strange ship, facing a group of Chinese-speaking enemies.

Who is she and where is she now?

Suddenly, a burst of angry curses and shrill wails came from afar. Cheng Xi came to his senses, walked quietly to the door, and leaned over to look out.

A figure could be seen outside the door, knife in hand, leaning against the aisle, bored. Following his figure upward, I could see the glow of fire and the sound of voices, seemingly coming from the deck. Clearly, there were still enemies up there, but their exact number was unknown.

She's not out of the woods yet.

Cheng Xi turned his head and looked at the man lying on the ground.

Wang Scar was now raging with rage, the pain nearly driving him mad. He roared inaudibly, struggling desperately to break free.

It was that bitch! She was the one who broke his penis!

However, the woman ignored his resentful look, but knelt on one knee and stabbed his shoulder with the short blade in her hand without hesitation.

After the blade pierced her, she turned half a circle. The intense pain made Wang Baer twitch all over and tears flow.

The excruciating pain completely extinguished the rage in his heart, replacing it with a deep fear. It was only then that Wang Scar realized that the seemingly fragile woman before him no longer had any fear in her eyes, only a cold murderous intent.

She wanted to kill him, she would really kill him!

Wang B'er trembled even more violently, sweat poured down his face, and vague whimpering sounds came out of his mouth.

Cheng Xi ignored his struggle and pulled out the knife. Blood splattered on the back of her hand, but she didn't care. She just turned the blade and put it against his throat.

This knife was picked up from the ground. Although it was of poor quality and the blade was a little curled, it was enough for her.

She leaned over and whispered, "I'll kill you if you dare scream."

The voice was eerily calm, yet Wang Scar could hear a hint of murderous intent within it. He nodded stiffly, fearing that any movement would cause the blade to slit his throat.

Seeing that he had given in, Cheng Xi pulled the cloth out of his mouth and asked in a low voice, "Where is this? How many of you are there?"

"Still...still at sea...the boat broke down...only five or six brothers are left...the others left first..." Wang B'er answered stutteringly, his voice trembling.

Cheng Xi frowned: "Are you pirates?"

Didn't they just board the ship, kill the owner, and rob the cargo? Why would they ask such a question? Confused, Wang Scar became even more frightened and nodded tremblingly.

They spoke Chinese and sailed a primitive wooden sailboat. Could there still be pirates like this along the African coast? No, since he said some of them had left first, the ship they left behind might be a hijacked merchant ship.

That makes even more sense. Although I can't tell the tonnage of the ship from the cabin, it has a lower cargo hold and can go out to sea, so I guess the ship won't be too small.

She continued to ask: "How many people are outside the door?"

"Only... only one..." Wang Scar'er's breathing became rapid.

A glimmer of hope suddenly arose in his heart - his confidant was outside the door, a fierce guy. If he could call him in, maybe he could kill this bitch!

However, just as he had the thought, the smelly rag was stuffed back into his mouth. Without caring about the gangster squirming on the ground, Cheng Xi stood up and ignored him.

There was someone guarding the door, and if there was no movement from inside the house for a long time, the other party would probably come in to check. Cheng Xi knew that with her current physical condition, she couldn't just fight hard.

She looked down at her torn robe and her body, which was not yet fully developed but already had curves, and suddenly twitched the corners of her mouth.

She reached out to ruffle her long hair, slightly opened her clothes, lowered her wide sleeves to cover the short blade in her hand, took a deep breath, and rushed to the door.

With a "clang", the door was pushed open. The man guarding the door turned around suddenly and saw a woman with disheveled hair and open clothes rushing out.

The man's throat tightened at the sight of her fair body, and then he let out a lewd smile. So Scar didn't want to do it outside and insisted on dragging her inside, because he was worried he couldn't keep an eye on her? That was a bargain for him!

Without hesitation, he stretched out his hand, blocked the woman's way, and prepared to hold her in his arms.

However, the next moment, his smile froze. What crashed into his arms was not a warm body, but a cold dagger.

The blade pierced through his ribs and pierced his heart. Without a second blow, the man swayed and was about to fall backward, but a pair of hands rushed ahead, passed through his armpits, and grasped his shoulders, supporting his limp body. They dragged him into the house.

Cheng Xi only felt his knees were heavy. He barely supported his legs and gritted his teeth while dragging the man's body back into the house.

Wang B'er was lying on the ground, feeling confused when he heard the sound of the door opening and closing.

Could it be that the woman had gone out? Why didn't anyone stop her? Could she have slipped away secretly? He had been tricked. The guy guarding the door wouldn't be so foolish!

Just as he was thinking, heavy footsteps were heard and Cheng Xi dragged a corpse and fell in front of him.

Wang Scar no longer cared about the pain. His eyes were as big as bells, and he stared at the scene in front of him as if he had seen a ghost. Who else could that person be but Tiezhu, the gatekeeper? How could he be dead without a sound, with blood on his chest and his eyes rolled back?

Not to mention a woman, even if it was him, there was no way he could kill a strong man so quickly. And yet, the woman was crying non-stop and didn't dare to fight back when he was beaten and scolded. How could she suddenly become like a different person?

Cheng Xi gave him a cold look, turned around and looked around, thinking about his next move.

Wang Scar stole a glance as she trembled. The oil lamp in the room was dim, and the woman's figure seemed to sway with the candlelight. There was a circle of purple marks on her neck, her lips were pale, and blood was flowing from her hands.

A terrifying thought suddenly struck him: was this really still a human? Had he just strangled someone to death, and a vengeful ghost had appeared?
