Chapter 207 Third Party Vision Activation
Chapter 207 Third Party Vision Activation
?
Liu Yong swiftly accessed the pet panel and activated the third-party field of vision, instantly revealing a high-definition view.
[[ " Quack, it's all in HD, " ]], presenting a range of options to zoom in and adjust the viewing angle within the 1000-meter radius.
With the aid of the panel, Liu Yong's eyes captured a clear sight of Bawang, along with the nearby container ship "Hongda," merely a couple of hundred meters away. Additionally, he spotted four speedboats encircling the "Hongda," engaging in a cat-and-mouse game.
Several armed pirates manned the speedboats, their organized and well-equipped demeanour hinting at their affiliation with a giant pirate organization, likely at the behest of Somali al-Shabaab.
Frustration filled Liu Yong's voice as he said, [ " As soon as I leave, these pirates set their sights on our ship. Overlord, sink all four pirate speedboats and leave none of those pirates alive. " ]
Meanwhile, aboard the cargo ship "Hongda," panic consumed the crew members. Their encounter with Somali pirates left some in despair, as the notion of being hijacked like the ill-fated "Eastern Star" haunted their thoughts.
Amid their pessimistic musings, a crew member exclaimed, [ " Captain, look over there! What's happening? " ]
Captured by curiosity, Captain Lu Yingwu turned his gaze towards the source of the commotion. To his astonishment, he witnessed an unexpected turn of events—a pirate speedboat had capsized.
[ " Yes, it capsized indeed, " ] remarked one crew member, while another added, [ " Why did the good one capsize? " ]
A sense of relief swept through the previously desolate crew as they observed the pirates struggling in the water, devoid of life-saving equipment or life jackets. The sight of their torment brought about a surge of jubilation, transforming their hopeless spirits into resounding cheers.
Their hope for further salvation grew as they noticed three more pirate speedboats, silently enduring and praying for their capsizing, a testament to the crew's desperate faith.
Their prayers were answered as another speedboat abruptly overturned, possibly struck by an unseen force, as the distance made it difficult to discern the exact cause. The pirates on board were left floundering in the tumultuous waters.
This miraculous turn of events was attributed to the Overlord's intervention. The small speedboat effortlessly capsized with a swift thrust of its colossal 50-meter spear. Overlord repeated this action in a show of dominance, flipping another speedboat with a resounding slap. He even tried to consume one of the pirates but promptly spat it out, appalled by the unpleasant taste.
Yet, two speedboats remained, and the pirates were utterly bewildered.
They had never witnessed such an extraordinary occurrence before and were at a loss for words. Faced with their comrades struggling in the water, their immediate priority was to rescue them, momentarily disregarding the cargo ship "Hongda" before them.
As a speedboat rushed to aid the fallen pirates, it also suffered the same fate—capsizing and turning upside down within seconds.
The pirates on the sole remaining speedboat grew pale with terror. Convinced that they had incurred the wrath of the Sea God, they mustered the courage to flee at full throttle, desperate to escape.
Finally, aboard the "Hongda," jubilant cheers filled the air. [ " Haha, those pirates are finished! " ] exclaimed one crew member in sheer ecstasy.
Another remarked, [ " God has truly shown us mercy. I never expected such an astonishing turn of events. " ] The harrowing moments of fear and anticipation dissipated, leaving the crew in awe of the sudden reversal of fortune.
[ " I was scared to death just now. I thought we were destined to be hijacked by those pirates, " ] expressed another crew member, relief evident in their voice.
As the crew rejoiced, their eyes remained fixated on the lone speedboat desperately attempting to flee. Some whispered fervently in their hearts, hoping for its overturning, unwilling to let it escape.
In an inexplicable twist, an extraordinary scene unfolded once again...
The speedboat swiftly escaped, covering a distance of approximately three to five hundred meters. However, to everyone's astonishment, it suddenly and inexplicably capsized, causing all the pirates onboard to be thrown into the water.
[ " Haha, the last one capsized too, " ] one of the crew members exclaimed gleefully.
[ " I saw it with my own eyes! It was quite a sight to behold, " ] another crew member said, clearly enjoying the spectacle.
Onboard the "Hongda," there was an air of jubilation and relaxation. The crew members felt a sense of relief, as if they had just survived a catastrophic event.
Initially, they had been filled with despair, but their outlook had changed entirely.
[ " All four pirate speedboats overturned! " ] Yet another worker exclaimed, emphasizing the defeat of the pirates.
They were stranded in the ocean, hundreds of nautical miles away from the nearest land, with no life-saving equipment. Exhaustion took its toll, and only one of them managed to survive before succumbing to the sea.
[ " Captain, look! " ] one crew member called out, pointing towards some of the struggling pirates desperately swimming towards the "Hongda," hoping for assistance.
Captain Lu Yingwu had already noticed them but intentionally feigned ignorance, declaring loudly, [ " Ignore them, increase our speed. Let's get out of here. " ]
[ " Hehe, they wanted to hijack us, but now they expect us to save them, " ]
Lu Yingwu thought, finding solace in the thought, his anger momentarily relieved.
Meanwhile, on the plane, Liu Yong watched the thrilling events unfold through a live broadcast from a third-party perspective. He found it immensely entertaining and satisfying.
Mulatu had ordered a group of pirates to hijack our cargo ship, the "Hongda."
-HUH!.......... Liu Yong thought.
Mean while Bawang contacted Liu Yong.
[ " Master, all four pirate speedboats have been disabled, " ]
Liu Yong praised, [ " Excellent job. It was executed flawlessly. " ]
[ " What's the next step, Master ? "] Bawang inquired.
Liu Yong replied, [ " Follow the cargo ship 'Hongda' and escort it out of the waters of the Gulf of Aden. Once the mission is complete, stay temporarily in the vicinity of the Gulf of Aden. " ]
[ " Understood, no problem, " ] the Overlord acknowledged willingly.
Over the next ten, twenty, or even thirty days, the Overlord would remain in the waters of the Gulf of Aden, with two primary objectives: intercepting ships belonging to the global shipping company and launching attacks on pirates in the region if Liu Yong commanded it.
The targeted strikes against specific pirates aimed to send a message to Mulatu, warning him that reneging on his promises would come at a cost.
Due to the time difference, it was already late at night when Liu Yong and his companions landed at Huahai International Airport. Nevertheless, several cars had arrived to welcome them.
Qiu Yang, Hu Shijun, and others anxiously waited outside the airport.
When Liu Yong, Qiu Yang, and Hu Shijun emerged from the airport, their friends joyfully greeted them.
[ " Boss! " ] Qiu Yang exclaimed excitedly.
[ " Brother Yong! " ] Hu Shijun called out warmly.
Seeing his companions, Liu Yong smiled and said, [ " I told you there was no need to gather, but I didn't expect all of you to come. " ]
Hu Shijun replied, [ " Brother Yong, we are thrilled to welcome your triumphant return. You ventured to Somalia and earned a billion dollars. We admire you greatly and felt compelled to come to the airport to greet you. " ]
Liu Yong chuckled and said, [ " Well then, let's get in the car and go. " ]
