With a "whoosh," the ship's horn sounded, and everyone immediately rushed out of their posts, grabbed their weapons, and began to stand guard.
This sound signifies that they are about to face a new round of battle. Although it is unclear whether it will be a minor skirmish or a fierce battle, no one can relax.
At this moment, Lu Yuan's yacht was slowly making its way through the restricted area. It was only a little over two hundred kilometers from the coastline.
"We're finally here!" Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel excited.
Standing on the ship's railing, he could almost see a continent in the distance. Although he didn't know if it was as he imagined, he had a feeling that the locations marked on the nautical chart wouldn't lie to him.
The sky was overcast with dark clouds, the moon was hidden behind the thick clouds, and the sea was pitch black. The only sounds were the waves crashing against the ship's side and the howling wind.
Zhou Tong held a telescope and looked into the distance from time to time. Suddenly, a ship appeared on the distant horizon, and it seemed that they were heading in the same direction.
After confirming again, Zhou Tong quickly put down the binoculars and walked towards the cockpit.
"There's a ship coming up ahead; it must be pirates!"
Lu Yuan wiped the sweat from his palms, a slight smile curving his lips: "The show is about to begin!"
The prisoner sitting on the ground had a hint of nervousness in his eyes. He hadn't yet organized his thoughts, and he was more worried that if the enemy ship didn't play by the rules and fired a few cannonballs first, he might even lose his life in the attack.
"Don't be silly, you can't beat them. I advise you to turn around right away, there's still a chance!"
The prisoner couldn't help but shout again, trying to stop Lu Yuan.
"Hehe, don't worry, none of us will die, and you can't die either. I still need you to do things for me!"
As he spoke, Lu Yuan opened the hatch, glanced at the other person, and left. Xi Wen pointed the gun at the other person again, and when the prisoner saw the dark gun barrel, he immediately collapsed to the ground as if he had lost all his strength.
"By the way, let's send Shi Quan over in a helicopter to scout ahead."
Zhou Tong nodded. Lu Yuan was right. Because the aircraft was more sensitive, and when they disassembled the Apache helicopter, they didn't change many of the control devices, so dodging bullets was not a problem.
Even if bullets hit, the cabin won't be directly penetrated because the Apache helicopter uses high-strength bulletproof steel plates. Lu Yuan also added a thick layer of silk protective material, which is strong enough to withstand bullets from ordinary sniper rifles.
Shi Quan quickly got ready. He put on his helmet and sat in the cockpit, while Zhou Tong stood in front of the plane, waving a flag and directing the plane to take off.
The helicopter's rotors began to spin rapidly, and soon Shi Quan piloted the helicopter away from the overtime post, slowly flying towards the pirates.
The bald man stood on the deck, looking towards Lu Yuan's direction through binoculars. Suddenly, he saw a helicopter take off from the other side's deck, and he was startled.
He turned to his deputy and asked, "Did a plane just take off from that ship? Check what's going on!"
The second-in-command nodded quickly, took out his binoculars, and looked in the direction the other person was pointing. He saw a helicopter slowly rise to a height of about 300 meters and then fly towards him.
The deputy kept piecing together the information he had seen in his mind, and suddenly his hand trembled twice.
"Impossible... This... This is a ship from the United States?"
Seeing his deputy's nervous expression, the bald man frowned and cursed, "What's going on? Tell me quickly!"
The second-in-command, slightly nervous, put down his binoculars and pointed to a plane high in the distance, saying, "If I'm not mistaken, that should be an Apache helicopter!"
"What? Apache helicopters? Aren't those American planes?"
"Yes, it's a plane from the United States! How about we... test them out first and see if they're actually from the United States?"
The bald man raised an eyebrow: "Hmph, who cares if he's from the United States or not? This sea area is our territory. Whoever comes here, we'll fight them first!"
Seeing the bald man's appearance, the deputy wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Yes, yes, I'll go and get ready right away!"
The bald man nodded, then looked in the direction of the other party again through his binoculars, while the Apache helicopter continued to move forward in his direction.
Shi Quan sat in the cockpit, looking at the distant sea. He saw seven ships appearing directly ahead, heading towards Lu Yuan's direction. The lead ship also carried a huge naval cannon.
The dark muzzle is constantly adjusting its position, clearly trying to shoot itself down.
Shi Quan was startled. He only knew how to fly a plane, but he didn't know much about combat. Especially when he saw the gun barrels on the ship constantly adjusting their positions, and the position they were aiming at was his plane. So he immediately grabbed the control stick and began to adjust the plane's flight direction.
The enemy was adjusting their cannons very slowly, which led Shi Quan to guess that they were not a professional army, but just a civilian organization. He felt a little more at ease and flew forward again.
