Chapter 410 Mysterious Mercenaries
?
In the distance, a massive fleet formed a single line, breaking through the waves and advancing mightily.
At the forefront was an aircraft carrier, unparalleled in its immense size, towering over a hundred meters high, magnificent and awe-inspiring. It was a spectacular sight to behold!
As soon as the fleet appeared, many people rushed to the deck to witness the approaching ships.
However, their expressions drastically changed upon seeing the aircraft carrier fleet.
"Is our savior here?"
"Wait a minute, this is an aircraft carrier fleet, and it seems they have a lot of weapons on board. Are we sure they're here to rescue us?"
"An aircraft carrier fleet?"
"The captain is dead, and there's no one who can operate the ship? Hurry up and take control of the speed and direction of our cruise ship. We absolutely cannot collide with those people; otherwise, we'll all die!"
Many of the wealthy individuals panicked and shouted in alarm.
An aircraft carrier fleet!
This was a terrifying armed force!
If their Swan cruise ship collided with the opposing vessels, they might be mistaken as enemy forces, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
"I'll do it!"
Shura's expression grew earnest as he quickly rushed into the captain's control room to steer the Swan cruise ship, ensuring that it veered away from the approaching fleet.
Silver Fox emerged from the cabin and stood on the deck, gazing at the aircraft carrier fleet with a serious expression.
Zhao Shenbing, Scarlett, Princess Karina, Joseph, Gates, and others also had deep and worried expressions in their eyes.
As time passed, the aircraft carrier fleet soon arrived in close proximity to them.
Once they drew near, Zhao Shenbing, Joseph, Gates, and the others were all stunned by the enormity of the aircraft carrier.
It was massive!
Too massive!
When seen from afar, they thought the aircraft carrier was about a hundred meters high, but as it approached, they realized it was at least one hundred and fifty meters tall, soaring into the sky.
It was like an iron behemoth, imposing and overwhelming, emanating a palpable sense of pressure.
Compared to it, the Swan cruise ship was utterly insignificant, like a small duckling.
On the surface of this iron behemoth, there were numerous menacing gun barrels, as well as traces of repair and many alarming patches of steel, all of which looked grim and terrifying.
With just one glance, everyone could tell that this aircraft carrier had undoubtedly experienced countless brutal wars.
Behind the aircraft carrier, there were numerous fleets, densely packed and unbelievably massive, with countless weapons.
Standing on those fleets were many mercenaries, their eyes sharp, fully armed, and exuding a formidable aura.
The Swan cruise ship was unable to evade and crashed straight into the aircraft carrier fleet, with no way to avoid it.
It was like a little rabbit entering the midst of a group of fierce predators, appearing particularly insignificant.
The shadow cast by the warships alone enveloped the entire Swan cruise ship, casting it into darkness, blocking out the sky and sun.
"Those outfits, they're mercenaries!" Zhao Shenbing's expression drastically changed when he saw the mercenaries' attire on the fleet.
"What?"
Everyone was startled by his words.
They had just been held hostage by the Blood Demon Mercenary Corps today, and the cruise ship had been severely damaged by them.
Now they were just out of the wolf's den, but entering the tiger's lair?
Moreover, these mercenaries appeared to be even more formidable and terrifying than the Blood Demon Mercenary Corps.
"What kind of mercenaries are these? How can they possess such a formidable fleet?"
"Damn it, just looking into their eyes makes my heart ache, sending shivers down my spine."
"What kind of mercenary group is this? Why is their oppressive force so strong?"
"If these people were to attack us, we would likely be no match for them."
Scarlett, Silver Fox, Zou Xiaojie, Zhao Shenbing, and others felt a sense of unease as they looked at the mercenaries.
These mercenaries were much stronger than the Blood Demon Mercenary Corps. Even the gaze of an ordinary mercenary made them feel like they were being stared at by a predator, sending chills down their spines.
Swoosh!
At that moment, a piercing sound broke through the air as a spear connected by a chain flew towards the Swan cruise ship, fast as lightning.
"Be careful, move aside!" Zhao Shenbing's expression changed drastically as he immediately retreated.
Others also reacted quickly and jumped aside.
Boom!
The spear traversed the air, piercing through one side of the Swan cruise ship's deck and penetrating into the steel.
Then, the tip of the spear split open, forming a claw-shaped weapon that hooked onto the deck.
The spear acted like an iron claw, firmly gripping the deck.
Clang!
?
? ??
??? ?
After the iron-clawed spear hooked onto the Swan cruise ship, as the ship drifted with the current and the aircraft carrier moved forward, the iron chain on the spear was fully stretched.
The drifting speed of the Swan cruise ship slowed down considerably.
In the next moment, more than a dozen spears flew through the air, piercing through the decks of the Swan cruise ship.
The spears transformed into iron claws, tightly gripping the ship, controlling its direction of movement. The Swan cruise ship was tightly bound beneath the aircraft carrier, unable to move.
"This!" Gates's expression changed dramatically as he hastily retreated.
Joseph, Liu Xiangqing, and others had pale faces, cowering behind the crowd, filled with immense fear.
In this situation, they had no idea whether these mercenaries were friend or foe.
It was better not to draw attention to themselves in the face of people with unknown allegiance.
"What a massive warship."
Shen Bing stood on the deck, standing within the shadow of the warship, her pupils contracting in shock.
It was the first time she had seen such a colossal warship and was so astonished that her mouth hung open.
"Wang Chao, do you have a plan?" Scarlett approached.
Accompanying Scarlett was also Christine.
At this moment, Christine was also looking at Wang Chao with extreme anxiety. "Wang Chao, w-what should we do now?"
As she spoke, memories of the moment in the warehouse came flooding back to her.
In Warehouse No. 1, Zhu Laowu had stared at her with predatory eyes.
At that time, Wang Chao had still been by her side.
When all the mercenaries rushed into the casino, Captain Monkey had received a message to exploit and plunder the wealth of these wealthy individuals.
Zhu Laowu sneered and took immediate action, pulling out his handgun and squeezing the trigger, aiming at Wang Chao, attempting to eliminate him.
Wang Chao had been prepared and tilted his head slightly, easily evading the bullets.
The bullets flew past Wang Chao, killing one of the mercenaries behind him.
"What?" Zhu Laowu's expression changed.
"Zhu Laowu, what the hell are you doing?"
Captain Monkey and all the mercenaries on the scene had their expressions drastically altered as they turned to stare at Zhu Laowu.
"I!!" Zhu Laowu gritted his teeth, unsure of what to say.
Opportunity!
At that moment, Wang Chao's eyes gleamed with determination as he took out the silver needles he had obtained from the ship's doctor and threw them like a shower.
The silver needles were as fast as lightning, with tremendous penetrating power. They pierced through the heads of twenty mercenaries on the spot, causing them to fall to the ground lifeless. Only Captain Monkey and Zhu Laowu remained alive.
Captain Monkey had initially wanted to angrily rebuke Wang Chao for friendly fire, but before he could utter a word, those mercenaries were dead!
His expression drastically changed.
Zhu Laowu's face also turned pale.
Swish!
Before they could react, Wang Chao had already appeared before them like a gust of wind.
His sharp eyes were filled with a chilling killing intent.
Spurt!
The flash of a blade!
In an instant!
The heads of Captain Monkey and Zhu Laowu flew high into the air.
All the mercenaries in the warehouse were annihilated!
Wang Chao discarded the mercenary's clothes, throwing them on the ground, and uttered to Christine, "You are temporarily safe now. Stay here and rest assured. I need to go out for a moment."
After speaking, he rushed out of the door.
Christine's thoughts returned to the present, her eyes filled with anxiety as she looked at Wang Chao. "Quickly think of a plan. How can we break through now?"
She now only trusted Wang Chao!
The others immediately turned their gaze towards Wang Chao, their eyes filled with worry and pleading.
"Do not worry, everyone. These should be reinforcements summoned by Zhou Xinghe's distress signal."
Wang Chao remained calm as he looked towards Zhou Xinghe behind Silver Fox. "Zhou Xinghe, come out and talk."
Thud!
Zhou Xinghe stepped forward, but before he could speak, a figure descended from the sky, landing on the deck of the Swan cruise ship.
The tremendous force caused the entire cruise ship to tremble, sinking one meter towards the sea.
The mercenaries from the warship had arrived!
With the appearance of this figure, an immensely terrifying pressure swept through all directions.
