Chapter 3 Pirate Night Raid

Nighttime in the high seas of the Gulf of Aden.

The captain and first mate were in the engine room, pushing the tanker to full speed to try and leave the Somali waters as soon as possible.

Somalia is located in East Africa and has the longest coastline in all of Africa, which is situated in the Gulf of Aden, a vital global shipping route.

Somalia has a 3000-kilometer coastline, which is a long death line for ships of all sizes from various countries.

"Once we reach the port of Djibouti, I'll treat you to a good meal."

Su Xuan looked at the players who were still on guard on the deck and said.

Djibouti is located on the western coast of the Gulf of Aden in northeastern Africa. It controls the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a crucial passage from the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean, which handles 12% of global shipping.

Meanwhile, the southeastern region of Djibouti borders Somalia and is a neighboring country.

The players chimed in, "Thanks, boss."

Su Xuan was generous, and the players were full of enthusiasm.

"We'll be safe once we get there, then we can get some rest."

Under immense pressure, Su Xuan looked around at the pitch-black surroundings under the searchlight, only to hear the sound of waves crashing against the shore.

Due to Djibouti's strategic location, France, one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, has stationed troops there, making it the closest and relatively safest country to Somalia.

……

late at night.

The cruise ship's searchlights were turned off, leaving only nightlights at the players' post. In the dead of night on the vast ocean, the nightlights were extremely dim, and visibility was very low.

The sound of the ceaseless waves masked the engine noise, and the pirate god, unaware of anything amiss, brought the speedboat near the oil tanker.

Players were stationed around the oil tanker.

"The pirates are coming."

The players at the bow of the ship spotted the pirate boat a hundred meters away through night vision goggles and immediately sent out a notification.

By the time the players discovered them, each pirate boat was within 300 meters of the cruise ship.

bang bang bang-

Players fired their guns through night vision goggles; the speedboats were so fast that they could cover a hundred meters in just a few seconds.

The pirates leading the charge are all daredevils, charging into the face of the players' bullets.

"Turn off all the nightlights."

The nightlight also revealed the player's position, and the pirate pointed his gun and fired at the light.

"Find a place to hide, let the pirates come up, and then we can fight a guerrilla war on the deck."

"Attack and retreat quickly."

Players communicate via radio, and they also have a landmine gameplay element.

The players all lay in wait on the deck and stopped fighting back. The pirates threw out grappling hooks and ladders, and the players climbed up one by one, using pliers to clear the barbed wire around the tanker.

"Don't fire yet, try not to kill anyone with a gun."

Player Eggplant notifies other players via radio.

With no obstacles in sight, the pirates boarded the oil tanker without incident.

The first group of pirates stood warily in place, observing the situation. There were no lights on the tanker at the moment.

The pirates waited until the main force arrived, some of whom had night vision goggles, before they began their operation.

The pirates, in groups of three, followed their companions who possessed night vision goggles to the tanker's bridge, a six-story structure that served as the only building and highest point on the deck.

Players can stay in place as planned and wait for their destined partner.

A player climbed out from under the pipes on the deck, moving nimbly and silently. He covered the mouth and nose of the last pirate and then snapped his neck.

While the iron was hot, he stepped forward, covered the mouth and nose of the second pirate, and slit his neck with a dagger.

By the time the pirate leader, who was wearing night vision goggles, realized what was happening, a dagger was plunged straight into his chest as soon as he turned his head.

Such hunting incidents occurred throughout the tanker decks.

Some players even used famous execution scenes from the game.

The player walks behind the pirate, pats the pirate on the shoulder, startling the pirate into turning around. The player then punches the pirate in the throat, grabs the pirate's head, and throws him over the shoulder.

A gunshot rang out, and the hundred pirates on the deck, like rats stealing food in the night, caused chaos and rushed towards the bridge without regard for any danger.

"Who fired the shot?"

"The pirates worked in groups of three. They killed two of them, and the last one reacted and opened fire."

"Da da da..."

Players communicated via radio, and some even emitted the sound of AK fire over their radios.

"I've been shot in the leg, female doctor, come here."

The player who heard the gunshot over the radio called out.

"How many did you kill?"

"two."

"Three."

"Five..."

Players exchanged information about the number of pirates they had killed.

The female doctor crouched down, using the pipes as cover, and approached the man who had been shot. At the same time, she saw the five pirate corpses.

"There was no other way but to use guns."

The player, who had injured his leg, recovered and stood up again after being treated by the female doctor.

Under the bridge tower.

The surviving pirates all gathered, and the leader counted their numbers. Twenty-four of them had died.

"They're like ghosts."

"Each of them is faster than a bullet."

"I want to go back. Why did they have to rob this oil tanker?"

The surviving pirates in the squad were still in shock, their eyes filled with fear, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, and their T-shirts clinging tightly to their skin under the sweat.

Players who stay in one place are like lurking snakes, waiting for someone to come and bite them.

"How stupid, he has no military skills whatsoever."

Players discovered through night vision goggles that seventy or eighty pirates were gathered under the bridge. How could the players resist such a dense concentration?

During the day, a player named Xiaoming captured a rocket launcher and immediately used it on the pirates.

boom!

Da da da—

Rockets exploded and AK-47s opened fire, and pirates fell in droves.

The terrified pirates scattered in all directions. Some ran to the bow deck, while others rushed onto the bridge. The bridge passage was extremely narrow, allowing only one person to pass at a time, and many pirates were injured due to the crushing and collisions.

"The boss is still up there, this is a serious mess."

A group of pirates surged onto the bridge tower, the players remarked upon seeing this.

Su Xuan was in the driver's seat, with only one doctor from the peak protecting him.

"Don't fire, slowly surround them."

The players slowly gathered under the bridge, while a few were assigned to keep an eye on the pirates on the bow deck.

"Disperse the men and guard the bridge tower. The mercenaries are all on the deck below."

The pirate captain, who had climbed onto the bridge tower, shouted to the pirates on the bow deck.

Da da da—

The pirates spread out on both sides of the bow deck and advanced along the left and right railings, firing their guns.

Under the pirates' intense firepower, only one player managed to reach the bridge tower.

boom.

Plans can't keep up with changes. The players opened fire to draw the pirates' fire, fearing that the pirates who climbed onto the bridge would discover Su Xuan.

Inside the driver's cab.

Su Xuan prepared for battle. Bee Doctor opened the iron gate, lay prone in the passageway, and aimed his gun at the entrance, ready to fire as soon as the pirates came up.

"Boss, take the elevator to the engine room and be with the captain."

The bee doctor wasn't confident he could completely protect Su Xuan, so he turned to look at Su Xuan and said.

At least 20 pirates boarded the bridge, but they didn't know where the elevator was.

"it is good."

Su Xuan, who only had one life, followed the advice and prepared to take the elevator to the cabin.

Just then, the elevator made a sound.

Su Xuan and Bee Doctor tensed up, pointing their guns at the elevator exit.

The pressure on beekeepers is immense, as the safety of their boss rests entirely on their shoulders.

He had to fight 20 pirates alone to protect Su Xuan from harm. If the order was cancelled, all players would have to pay compensation in addition to getting a refund.

Click, the elevator doors opened, revealing the familiar figure of the Dragon Agent.

"You startled me. Why didn't you let me know beforehand that you were coming up?"

The bee doctor breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that it was one of their own.

"As soon as the elevator started beeping, the pirates knew the location and began to come up."

Eggplant, who broke through the firepower blockade, didn't waste any words.

Su Xuan took the elevator to the cabin, but his plans were thwarted; he would most likely have to face the pirates head-on.
