"Brothers! Listen up!" Qin He shouted sternly.
"Put all your weapons, except for your self-defense pistols, in the storage boxes for the time being! Anyone who dares to have second thoughts will be the first to be eliminated!"
The crew members he brought with him were stunned at first, and then responded one after another.
"Boss Qin is right! We are not ungrateful!"
"If it weren't for Brother Lu, we would have been fed to the fish! Turning against us now? We're worse than pigs and dogs!"
"Hand over your weapons! We'll obey Brother Lu and Boss Qin!"
“Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang!”
Rifles and submachine guns were unloaded from their magazines and neatly stacked in the center of the deck.
Lu Ye slowly turned around, his eyes swept over Qin He calmly, then looked at the crew members who voluntarily handed over their weapons, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he nodded.
It's okay, not too stupid.
At least Qin He has some brains and some courage.
Qin He felt relieved when he saw Lu Ye nod. He immediately turned around and gave instructions to his fleet channel.
"All ships! With Brother Lu's ship as the core, immediately form a circular defensive formation! Fire outward! Anyone who is so foolish as to want to take advantage of the situation should first ask my cannonballs if they agree!"
At the command, several modified fishing boats that were originally following behind Lu Ye's "arsenal" immediately took action. Like the most loyal guards, they quickly dispersed and firmly protected the flanks and rear of Lu Ye's giant ship. The black muzzles of the guns and machine guns were all facing outward, forming an indestructible sea barrier.
The player ships that were originally encouraged by Xie Wei's bounty and were ready to take advantage of it were dumbfounded when they saw this scene.
"Damn it! What's going on? Didn't they say the team was disbanded? Why are they still listening to that Lu Ye?"
"Are these people stupid? They don't want to use the 'Arsenal' and instead serve as his guards?"
"Who is this Lu Ye? Why are there still people who follow him so devotedly in this situation?"
For a moment, the channel was filled with disbelief and confusion.
Those ships that had been approaching quietly also stopped wisely and did not dare to go any further.
At this moment, there was a sudden burst of violent explosions and dense gunfire from Xie Wei's side!
Someone immediately started live broadcasting on the "Bloody Forbidden Zone" channel.
"Oh shit! There's a fight going on on Xie Wei's ship! Several ships are surrounding him!"
"Hilarious! Wasn't this guy just bragging about how much supplies he had? He kicked all his former teammates out, and now there's no one to help him!"
"Haha, retribution has come! I heard that a few unlucky guys who were kicked out by him have joined forces with several nearby ships to rob him of everything!"
"Look, look! Xie Wei's ship seems to be on fire! He's alone on the deck, firing around with an AK, but there are more people on the other side!"
The short videos and screenshots posted on the channel showed that Xie Wei's modified cargo ship was being besieged by three or four small boats, with thick smoke and flames rising into the sky.
Xie Wei was shooting wildly at the side of the ship, looking like a madman, but it was obvious that he was no match for four people with two fists, and new sparks kept bursting out on the hull.
He who brings trouble upon himself will suffer the consequences.
Lu Ye watched the "live broadcast" on the channel with a calm expression on his face, only feeling a little bored.
He had no interest in even taking a second look at this clown farce.
He withdrew his gaze and gave Qin He a cold instruction.
"Alright, forget about those flies. Send someone to keep an eye on the radar. We have to figure out what the hell this 'bloody restricted area' is and how to get out."
“Boom——!”
Another violent explosion sounded not far away, and the flames almost lit up half the sky red.
Xie Wei's modified cargo ship, which was already shaky, was now filled with thick smoke. A huge hole was blown in the side of the hull, and seawater was pouring back crazily.
He was in a terrible state, his body covered in black dust and blood, and the barrel of the gun in his hand was red from being shot.
"Damn it! A bunch of mad dogs!"
Xie Wei roared and emptied his last few magazines. Seeing that the small boats were closing in again like leeches, he made up his mind and rushed towards the only remaining motorboat at the stern.
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!
Lu Ye, just wait for me!
Amidst a series of clanging metal collisions and curses, Xie Wei miraculously steered the small boat and narrowly broke out of the encirclement in the gap between the sea of fire and rain of bullets.
He didn't dare to stop, so he stepped on the accelerator and fled for his life.
He breathed a sigh of relief only when he could no longer see the red dots of the pursuers on the radar. He slumped down in the boat, gasping for breath.
With trembling hands, he opened the wrist terminal, hid his coordinates, and then began to roar crazily on the public channel of the "Bloody Forbidden Zone", using all the dirty words he had learned in his life.
"Lu Ye! You bastard! You're a coward! All you do is watch me get attacked! What kind of man are you?! My supplies are still there! My ship may be a little smaller, but the good stuff in the warehouse is still there!"
"And you ungrateful bastards! Traitors! You think I'm done? Dream on! I'm fine! Once I recover, I'll sink your boats one by one and feed them to the fish!"
He was cursing his former teammates who took advantage of the situation, and also trying to give himself courage.
Damn it, as long as my core warehouse is okay, I still have the capital to turn the situation around!
On Lu Ye's boat, Qin He was nervously adjusting the radar parameters, trying to filter out the messy signals.
Xie Wei's mad dog-like yelling and cursing in the channel naturally came over as well.
Lu Ye just glanced at the screen lightly, with an almost imperceptible curve at the corner of his mouth.
The clown has a tough life.
He said this to Qin He casually.
"It's no big deal. Let him bark. When a dog gets tired of barking, it will naturally shut up."
Then, he started operating his wrist terminal and called up several player IDs that he had secretly marked before.
These people had asked him to buy weapons before the trading platform was closed, but were unable to do so due to price or other reasons.
"Ding ding." Several private messages were sent out silently.
The message was simple: "[AKM] x1, [9mm Bullets] x200, [RPG-7 Bazooka] x1, [High-Explosive Warheads] x2. Pick them up as you please, free of charge. I have only one request - bomb Xie Wei's wrecked ship into the sea, including the people and the boat. Divide the contents of the ship among yourselves."
Since he likes to be the 'King of Materials' so much, let him see what real 'money power' is.
Lu Ye didn't need them to trade anything. He was overflowing with supplies now, and these ordinary guns were just a drop in the bucket for him.
What he wanted was to make Xie Wei, the mad dog, shut up completely.
