More than half an hour has passed.
The distance between them has been reduced significantly, now less than 300 meters.
They also got a clear view of the situation on the ship behind them.
There were many people, as many as twenty or thirty.
Moreover, everyone had a weapon.
Most of them were knives, gleaming brightly and reflecting a blinding light under the sun.
Several others were carrying guns, which appeared to be muskets or hunting rifles, with the muzzles pointed directly in their direction.
However, the distance was still too far, beyond firing range, so the guns didn't fire.
Everyone's faces turned grim when they saw this.
Previously, it was just a guess that it was aimed at them, but now it's 100% certain.
"Damn it, they really came for us, and they're so well-prepared..."
"Damn, it's those guys from the docks. They really haven't given up and have come out after us."
"Judging from this, things definitely won't end well."
"Needless to say, their knives and spears are already exposed."
Ah-Can said fiercely, "Brother Ye, fire! Kill them all!"
"Yes, kill them."
"Yes, Ah Ye, fire! We can't let them be so arrogant."
"Since we're at sea anyway, we might as well die."
"Exactly, there are no other ships around here, no one will see it, so if they die, it's all for nothing..."
Seeing the boat full of men armed with knives and guns, their faces contorted with malice, the others' expressions also turned fierce, their eyes flashing with murderous intent.
Feng Ye remained remarkably calm.
So what if we have guns and shotguns?
At most, it can only shoot a few dozen meters away. Is that as far as the range of his Thompson submachine gun?
However, although the distance was less than 300 meters, it was still within firing range, so we could wait a little longer.
"What's the rush? They're still so far away. There's no need to waste bullets. I'll fire when they're within range."
Upon hearing this, everyone calmed down and continued to keep their eyes on the ship behind them.
The ship drew ever closer, and the twenty or thirty men on board gathered on the deck, looking completely unconcerned.
They were brandishing knives and guns, shouting something as if trying to put pressure on the Dong Sheng and Feng Shou ships.
I wonder if these people have realized that they are at a disadvantage.
Moreover, it's a one-sided disadvantage.
What's the use of having a large number of people? They're just sitting ducks.
If Feng Ye wanted, he could shoot them down at any time once they came within range.
Of course, he wouldn't aim at someone with his first shot, especially not a vital spot; he would definitely give them a warning first.
Even though it happened at sea and no one else was around to see it, the trouble caused by murder was still enormous, and he might end up getting himself killed.
Even if you ruthlessly kill all the enemies, dispose of the bodies, and sink the ship, it's still not safe.
Once the other party's family reports the case, the police will inevitably launch an investigation.
The conflict between them and these people at the dock was witnessed by many people.
With just a little investigation, they would be the prime suspects.
These days, the police have a lot of interrogation methods, and torture to extract confessions is commonplace.
He didn't believe the two boatmen could withstand interrogation; if they implicated him, he too would be caught.
Therefore, he would not resort to murder unless absolutely necessary.
Ideally, he should fire a warning shot, causing the other party to back down.
If all else fails, we'll try to inject into non-lethal areas.
As long as no one dies, there is still room for maneuver.
Feng Ye gripped the Thompson submachine gun tightly, his finger lightly resting on the trigger, ready to react at any moment.
The ships behind were getting closer and closer, and we could clearly see the ferocity and arrogance on their faces.
Those wielding knives and spears seemed confident of victory, and greedy smiles appeared on their faces.
In their eyes, the Dongsheng and Fengshou ships had become lambs to the slaughter.
Feng Ye sneered inwardly, his gaze sharp as a knife, piercing those whose faces revealed greed.
These guys are really courting death; they don't even realize what they're up against.
As the distance closed further, he finally pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
The loud gunshots echoed across the sea.
Although he fired the shot at the boat, he didn't aim it at the people, but rather at the bow of the boat below the water.
The bullet entered the water without making a splash.
Although no one was hit, the sudden gunshot still caused a commotion on the other ship.
The twenty or thirty people who had been gathered on the deck were now scrambling to squeeze into the cabin.
The hatch was only so big, and with so many people trying to squeeze in, it was impossible. In an instant, people were thrown about, and chaos ensued.
Furthermore, their boat wasn't very big, only about twenty meters long, and the cabin was even smaller, so it couldn't accommodate so many people.
Some, seeing that they couldn't squeeze in, cleverly lay down on the side of the ship, using the side as cover.
"good!"
Upon seeing this, everyone on both ships cheered, their morale soaring.
Although the shot did not hit anyone, it had a great deterrent effect.
Feng Ye's lips curled into a cold smile: "I thought you were so fearless, but it turns out you're nothing special."
After the gunshots, the sea returned to calm.
He didn't rush to continue firing, but gave the other party some time to react.
However, the other side did not seem to back down because of this shot; instead, they continued to advance.
After a brief period of commotion, the people came out again and gathered on the deck once more.
