Xiong stared intently at the virtual boundary line on the navigation screen, which was getting closer and closer.
A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips: "Hurry up, the safe zone is just ahead. The buyer is already waiting on the other side of the boundary."
"Even if they encounter patrolling coast guard vessels... they don't have the guts or the proper procedures to easily cross the line."
The cargo ship stopped precisely outside the territorial sea boundary, in a legally defined "gray area".
Almost simultaneously, the silhouette of another ship emerged from the night.
It was a modified medium-sized fishing boat, painted dark gray, with raised gunwales and a deliberately simplified superstructure, making it look unremarkable.
It approached silently, the two suspicious vessels resembling two sharks quietly meeting.

Inside the coast guard vessel.
Boss Crow's urgent report came through: [There are more than two large ships nearby!]
[Six other small boats, scattered around like fleas, kept circling!]
On the monitor screen, in the overhead view shared by Boss Ya, six fast-moving dots of light were clearly marked.
Like hyenas on the periphery of a wolf pack, they formed a loose encirclement around two large ships, constantly patrolling and navigating the surrounding waters.
Ji Shuyun's gaze swept across the distribution map on the electronic screen, and he immediately understood: "A very cunning formation."
"The large ships conduct the transactions inside, while speedboats keep watch on the perimeter. Once anything unusual is detected, they can immediately scatter in different directions, making it difficult to capture them all at once."
Moreover, this layout itself constitutes a sensitive early warning zone.
Any ship approaching from the outside is easily detected by them in advance.
Buyers, sellers, and goods have all gathered; the moment to close the net is just around the corner!
Time is of the essence.
The two large ships are about to dock, and the transaction could be completed within half an hour.
Although the main force of the Coast Guard support was in place, it could only form a semi-encirclement.
Once the other side notices, if all eight ships scatter and flee towards international waters, it will be difficult for the police to intercept them all.
Sending two orcas to block a fleet of two large and six small ships would be too risky, as the orcas would be at great risk of injury.
The other party is a ruthless thug who dares to trample on human lives; there's no guarantee they won't go too far with the orca.
“Brother,” Xia Zhining lowered her voice and spoke quickly, “we still have five more octopus squads.”
"Could we let them strike first and cripple the other ship? When they try to escape, they'll find their ships are completely immobile?"
Xia Zhining's words inspired Ji Shuyun: the most crucial part to make a ship lose power is the propeller.
The propeller is like the legs of a ship; if it malfunctions, the ship can't move!
He immediately turned to Feng Sixiao: "Do we have any non-lethal equipment that can instantly jam the propeller?"
"Yes," Feng Sixiao answered readily, "We also have specially made ceramic stop blocks and high-strength miniature winding cables. They are small in size and designed specifically for underwater operations. They can instantly entangle the propeller and lock it in place."
"Can they carry these octopuses?"
"Absolutely no problem, it has been specially treated to be lightweight."
Xia Zhining's eyes lit up, and she turned and jogged towards the water tank: "Octopus Bro, a mission has arrived!"
The five giant octopuses, which had been resting quietly, immediately became active, their tentacles waving excitedly.
Xia Zhining quickly distributed the specially made ceramic blocks and ropes to them, and each octopus used its two tentacles to firmly wrap around the "weapon".
"Target: the propellers of all ships, large and small."
"Approach stealthily, insert the tip of this, and then retreat immediately. Do not linger!"
