Chapter 108 Living Hell
Two o'clock in the morning.
high seas.
Cruise ship.
After leaving the broadcasting room in the square, Xin Que led Ji Mingchuan straight to the fuel engine room below deck.
"Who are you?" The Victoria crew member on watch in the cabin, seeing that the visitors were strangers, instinctively tried to expel them, "Unauthorized personnel are not allowed..."
"Bang."
Blood splattered, but Xin Que didn't stop, stepping over the fallen corpses and moving straight ahead.
"Security..." The crew member who tried to call for help hadn't finished speaking when he was caught on the railing.
"Notify the captain immediately!!!"
The fleeing crew member only had time to shout this one sentence before his body went limp and he lost all life after the gunshot.
Xin Que glanced at the crew member who was trying to report the news, but did not stop him.
...
In the captain's cabin, the communicator on the man's waist vibrated once, but Cheng Zheng stopped his hand as he reached for it.
Cheng Zheng slowly pulled a pistol from the butt of his gun at his back with his other hand. "Captain, I still have the same question."
A bead of cold sweat trickled down the captain's forehead.
The gun slowly pointed at the man's forehead, followed by Cheng Zheng's somber voice, "Where exactly did you hide my employer?"
The captain forced himself to remain calm, but his hand was about to press the alarm button when the muzzle of a gun pressed against him stopped him in his tracks.
"Your employer... Luo Huayi?" His voice trembled slightly, but he tried his best to remain calm. "I really don't know anything about the missing persons. Perhaps you can ask... Boss Jin."
Cheng Zheng glanced at the crowd reveling in the climax outside the panoramic glass, then tilted his head to reveal the white earphone he was wearing in his left ear. "The night is nice tonight."
The captain was puzzled.
A command came through the earpiece, and Cheng Zheng quickly pulled the trigger.
The captain fell to the ground.
Cheng Zheng pulled up a chair and sat in front of the control panel. Behind him, several corpses dressed in the uniforms of the first, second, and third officers lay across the doorway.
"Everything is going well in the captain's cabin."
A response came quickly from the other end of the earpiece.
...
The square was already a river of blood.
Blood splattered everywhere—in the swimming pool, on the observation deck, beneath the statue…
The corpses, dressed in three different uniforms, lay sprawled haphazardly on the seaside city.
Jin Doucai originally thought that with his advantage in numbers and space, he should be able to crush these two small churches that were staying on his cruise ship.
But the two sides were surprisingly effective when they cooperated.
In order to gain the opportunity to safely land on the high seas, the Eternal Life Church and the Dispelling Calamity Eternal Life Society have united like never before.
Jin Doucai quickly replaced the empty magazine and took down the cultist who tried to rush forward with a single shot.
"Damn it..." Jin Doucai cursed, retreating quickly under the cover of his thugs. "The sniper isn't ready yet?!"
First, take care of the leaders of these two factions. Once the remaining followers are demoralized, things will be much easier.
The sniper on the high platform tried to lock onto Li Zhonghan's figure using the infrared sight. "Boss, the target is being protected by his mercenaries, it's hard to lock on..."
"Bang."
Xin Que withdrew the gun from the back of his head, then took the sniper rifle in front of him and left without looking back.
"The sniper has lost contact." Jin Doucai's men looked grave.
Jin Doucai was taken aback, then looked at the sniper positions that had been set up in advance.
The sniper's body was hanging on the railing.
"How is this possible..." Kim Doo-jae's heart began to waver. He suddenly looked at the crowd still fighting and shouted, "To the armory!"
“If I’m not mistaken,” Cheng Zheng said, his eyes glued to the monitor screen in front of him, “Jin Doucai has probably been forced into the armory.”
"I know." Xin Que's voice was exceptionally clear on the other end of the earpiece.
Unable to suppress the number of people, Kim Doo-jae could only use absolute force to suppress the united churches of the two sides.
The armory hidden in a corner of the cruise ship was Xin Que's ultimate target.
...
"The captain's cabin communication has also been cut off?" Jin Doucai's face was full of disbelief. "Who on earth...?"
He thought of Xin Que, who had suddenly turned against him.
"Where are the crew in the hold?" Jin Doucai roared at his secretary. "Get the crew to the captain's cabin immediately!"
The crew didn't have time to reply to Jin Doucai's orders.
Ji Mingchuan had already used two Glock 18s to control the entrance to the deck.
Cheng Zheng calmly stood up from his chair, tossed the empty magazine aside, and then pointed his gun at the crew member who was about to board the captain's cabin. "Xin Que, you'd better succeed on your first try."
"otherwise……"
We don't have a chance to play in the revival round.
"Understood." Xin Que pulled the trigger of the sniper rifle, and amidst the exclamations of the mercenaries and thugs, immediately put away the gun and leaped down the stairs.
Jin Doucai clutched his shoulder, the gun in his hand rolled to the ground, and he screamed in excruciating pain.
Unsure whether Jin Doucai was a character the plot needed to protect, Xin Que, to be on the safe side, only deprived him of the ability to wield a weapon.
"Luo Huayi," Xin Que said without turning her head, quickly moving through the dark alley, and through the earpiece assigned a position to the last card in her hand, "Go to the location I sent you!"
Luo Huayi was still wearing the same dark-patterned shirt uniform he had been given after being arrested and taken to the Eternal Life Society. He took advantage of the chaos in the crowd to run through the night.
Cheng Zheng was in the captain's cabin, while Ji Mingchuan controlled the deck entrance...
Luo Huayi, who doesn't know how to use a gun and only knows how to use cold weapons and martial arts, would find it difficult to even protect himself in a melee with live ammunition.
But he possesses abilities that other NPCs cannot match.
[Male protagonist halo].
Jin Doucai was caught off guard by Luo Huayi's appearance.
As if controlled by some unknown force, Jin Doucai and his men all turned to look at the man's figure.
With the protagonist's halo, Luo Huayi is practically a natural human target, a moving bullet to attract the enemy's attention.
After Jin Doucai was lured away by Luo Huayi, Xin Que immediately rushed into the armory.
"Ji Mingchuan, add the oil!"

[Interrogation procedure error.]
[Interrogation procedure error.]
[_error!!]
[Requesting an urgent deployment of the mid-level AI manager 'Chujiangwang'.]
The administrator (AI) approved the request.
A barrage of error alerts appeared on the floating screen, each alarm louder than the last.
Xin Que had already arrived at the deck where Ji Mingchuan was, carrying the weapon she wanted, to meet him.
“You know the location of the lifeboat,” Xin Que said quickly, tossing what she was holding to Ji Mingchuan. “Now take the signal flare, get on the lifeboat, and you can leave the high seas safely.”
"Our deal is now closed."
Ji Mingchuan retrieved his submachine gun, which was aimed at the fuel tank, and took out Xin Que's tail with one shot. "I've been in the underworld for so many years... I have no reason for a thug to abandon his employer and run away."
"Besides, it's already blown up this big, it would be a real shame not to see how this farce ends with our own eyes."
Xin Que didn't waste any more words, only coldly glancing at the fuel tank that had begun to leak fuel.
The woman deftly pulled off the metal safety buckle, and with a clang, it was thrown down the stairs.
Cheng Zheng stood on the high platform outside the captain's cabin, looking down at the crowd still fighting on the deck. Screams and roars mingled with the dazzling light show and the hail of bullets, rising and falling in waves.
When Cheng Zheng saw the people that Luo Huayi had led over, his expression didn't change. He simply pointed the gun in his hand at Jin Doucai and his group.
Luo Huayi stopped in front of the railing near the bow of the ship.
The boundless deep sea is especially terrifying in the darkness of night.
The continuous roar of the waves thrilled everyone present.
Ji Mingchuan put down the Glock submachine gun in his hand.
Jin Doucai was still wondering why he had changed his mind about going to the armory because of Luo Huayi's appearance when a static sound came from the loudspeaker in the square.
It seems to be a transfer to someone's communication device; the audio signal isn't very good.
The various factions in the midst of the chaotic battle instinctively looked in the direction of the broadcast.
Xin Que forcefully threw the grenade in her hand towards the leaking fuel tank below the stairs. The data-constructed building structure and the real cabin scene kept switching and flashing before her eyes like garbled code.
"Everyone, let's begin..."
"This is true revelry!!!"
