"Help?"
In the captain's room, He Ao looked at Yang De in confusion.
"This is the distress signal we just received."
Yang De gestured and glanced at the young man beside him.
The young man played the recording in time.
"Help... there are pirates... save us... our coordinates are..."
The recorded words are in the language of Central Land, and the voice is very panicked, accompanied by the panicked screams of women.
"We received this recording almost twenty minutes ago. The other party's coordinates were very vague and difficult to determine. We later used radio triangulation and barely determined the other party's position."
Yang De explained softly, "About twenty nautical miles northwest of us."
He Ao did not speak, but still stared at Yang De calmly, waiting for his next words.
"We are going to rescue," Yang De looked at He Ao,
"But we are not sure whether it is a pirate trap, so the current plan is to first dock the cruise ship near the ship asking for help, and then send an elite team to take a speedboat seized from the pirates today to conduct reconnaissance to see what is going on."
"You need me to go scout?"
He Ao also understood what Yang De meant at this moment.
"My plan is for you and Ye Feng," Yang De pointed at the young man beside him, "Find a few more people, and you guys will form a team and go there. You will be the leader, of course."
Yang De paused, "You are Special Appointed Researcher, and you have no obligation to work for Research Institute. I will post a task for you on the intranet in the name of the Overseas Department later, worth five hundred points. Do you think that's okay?"
The points on the Research Institute intranet can be exchanged for or rented Transcendent Item of Research Institute, or exchanged for some kind of Research Institute services.
Points can be exchanged for money, but money cannot be exchanged for points. The official price of Research Institute is 1 point for 1,000 yuan.
Five hundred points is roughly equivalent to two relatively good E-class Transcendent Item.
This mission is a reconnaissance mission, not dangerous, and it involves the cooperation of teammates.
Of course, danger is relative. There may be a quiet sea under the calm sea, or there may be turbulent undercurrents.
He Ao thought for a moment and nodded gently, "Okay."
The price of this mission is not only the five hundred points on the surface, but also the friendship of Yang De.
It seems that Yang De's status with the Overseas Department is not low. If He Ao rejects him this time, he probably won't contact He Ao if he has a mission in the future, and the two will basically have no contact.
And He Ao is looking for the person who took away Ruins High Tower Central Processor, who is suspected to be a senior executive of Dawn, and needs the help of the Overseas Department.
If you keep going back and forth, you will become friends.
More friends means fewer enemies.
Of course, the premise is that He Ao thinks this friend is worth it.
For example, Old Zhang from West Capital Research Institute, Lao Liu from West Capital police station, if you help him, he will definitely repay you, and even help you when you are in trouble.
At present, it seems that Yang De should also be such a person.
"Okay!"
Yang De seemed a little surprised by He Ao's agreement, and then it was a surprise.
Then he introduced the young man next to him to He Ao.
The young man's name is Ye Feng, his codename is "Knight", Class D.
Ye Feng also introduced himself to He Ao enthusiastically and expressed his willingness to obey He Ao's command.
His ability lies in close combat with weapons, but his marksmanship is also good, although not as good as He Ao. In addition, he can speak a little Alano's language and can act as a translator.
After that, Yang De found a few more people and finally decided on two other teammates.
One is Underpants Superman, whom He Ao has met several times.
Underpants Superman is a Class D. His abilities tend to increase in combat. The Kung Fu of Golden Bell Cover has been passed down from his ancestors. According to him, he is more resistant to beatings.
Although this guy wears underwear, is usually taciturn, and doesn't look like a serious person, but after getting along with him, he is still a very warm and cheerful person.
Especially when Yang De asked to save people, Underpants Superman agreed without even thinking about it.
It can be seen from the "Superman" in his name that he is a man with a great sense of justice.
The other person was a little surprised.
Originally, Yang De was going to choose someone from among the official researchers, but there was a guy who heard some rumors and came over on his own.
Orator.
She said that she is also a D-level. Her ability can unify the team's opinions and enhance the team's belief. She can also do some simple battlefield bandages and can be used as a medic. If there are crew members who are attacked, she can also comfort and communicate with those crew members.
All in all, she is the auxiliary wet nurse, so choose her.
Finally, she convinced Yang De to join the four-person team.
Among them, He Ao received 500 points as the captain, Orator and Underpants Superman received 300 points, and Ye Feng was voluntary labor because he was originally from the Overseas Department, so he did not get a single point.
Among the four people, if you don't count Martial Arts Cultivation and a lot of weird plug-ins, He Ao is considered the mage.
Mage, support, Warrior, tank.
This team can be considered together.
The entire D-class lineup is basically the most elite people on this ship.
Of course, He Ao alone can have three professions: mage, auxiliary, Warrior, and maybe more.
Yang De drove the cruise ship slowly towards the target location.
About a few kilometers away, everyone saw stars and fire in the distance.
Yang De took out the telescope and handed it to everyone.
He Ao raised the telescope and looked over there, only to see a cruise ship that was much wider than their current cruise ship. The cruise ship was lit with lights, and below it were pirate speedboats cruising around the cruise ship.
"Then I'm sorry to bother you," Yang De looked at the four of them, "Pay attention to safety. If you find any danger, come back immediately and we'll find a solution."
"Yeah."
Everyone nodded.
A group of people jumped onto the speedboat along the rope ladder and headed towards the cruise ship in the night.
Orator held up the telescope, Ye Feng drove the speedboat, and everyone was getting closer and closer to the cruise ship hijacked by pirates.
"There seem to be only two or three pirate ships, so they can be easily dealt with."
Orator held up the telescope and looked at it for a while, then sighed softly.
He Ao didn't respond to her words. He just looked at the quiet cruise ship under the night and frowned slightly.
"Oh, why does Chief Yang want you, a piece of wood, to be the captain?"
Orator pouted slightly.
"You don't know this, right? Look at our captain's code name, 'Hire Mercenary'," Underpants Superman came over from the side, "That must be a lot of experience! He's really awesome!"
"You believe him so much?"
Orator turned his head and started chatting with Underpants Superman.
At this time, Ye Feng, who was driving a speedboat next to He Ao, came over and whispered to He Ao,
"Orator's previous talent was an E-level 'sharer'. Her ability is speaking in a nutshell. She has a desire to share, and the people she communicates with also have a desire to share. While chatting, she revealed all her family background. She will know every little secret. She is a natural intelligence agent.
Now that she has advanced in Ruins, she should be stronger. "
Having said this, he paused, "So when you meet this kind of Transcendental person, try not to talk to her. Once you talk, it's easy to get everything out of her. It's too dangerous. Who doesn't have some little secrets..."
"What are you talking about?" A little head suddenly popped out from the side. Orator looked at He Ao in confusion, then at Ye Feng, "Speaking ill of people behind their back will make you wet the bed at night."
"Nothing,"
Ye Feng closed his mouth tightly and drove the speedboat seriously, acting as if I have no story, so don't talk to me.
"Oh," Orator glanced at Ye Feng suspiciously, and then looked at him with some curiosity as he drove the speedboat steadily, "Your skills are so amazing. None of the speedboat masters I have seen before are as good as you. How do you drive the speedboat so steadily?"
"That's right," Ye Feng said with a smile, "I studied with Brother Yang for half a year. You don't know, when Brother Yang was training people..."
As he was talking, Ye Feng suddenly realized something was wrong...
"Get ready to fight."
At this time, the voice of He Ao attracted everyone's attention.
The pirates in the distance had discovered them and shot at them. Everyone immediately took their guns and started to fight back.
He Ao lifted the Submachine Gun hanging on his chest and pressed the gun with one hand.
This gun was "picked up" by Yang De from the pirates in the morning. Although those pirates died, they left behind a lot of weapons.
He Ao fired three shots in a row, but all missed.
The first shot was a little far away, the second shot was closer, and the third shot almost grazed the front pirate's cheek.
The previous owner of this gun didn't seem to know how to maintain the gun, and the aim had long been off. He Ao was just calibrating the aim.
Then he fired his fourth shot.
The pirate at the front who was waving his gun randomly fell to the ground.
Then there were fierce gunshots.
Before the three people behind him could react, the pirates in front fell down piece by piece like wheat.
In a short period of time, before He Ao finished firing a magazine, the pirates in the three speedboats were cleared away. Almost all the people inside fell down, and their bright red blood soaked into the dark sea.
Orator looked at this scene and was stunned. After a while, two words came out,
"Fuck, that's awesome."
"Awesome"
This is from Ye Feng.
Underpants Superman was stunned.
"Pull the boat over and let's go up and have a look."
Next to the three pirate speedboats, a long rope ladder was lowered from the side of the ship. He Ao looked at the rope ladder and said softly.
"Okay."
Ye Feng immediately drove the speedboat and approached the rope ladder.
The entire cruise ship seemed a little weird at the moment. There had just been a fierce gun battle, but there was no sound at all on the cruise ship, and it was extremely silent.
The speedboat docked next to the cruise ship.
"Why is this ship so quiet? Could it be..."
Orator looked at the huge cruise ship blankly and said softly.
"Can you drive a speedboat?"
He Ao looked at Orator and interrupted her speech.
"Know a little bit."
Orator nodded slightly.
"You stay here, let's go up and have a look."
He Ao ordered softly, then held Suitcase in one hand and grabbed the rope ladder with the other.
Judging from the situation on the deck in the morning, Orator seems to have a special affinity that prevents the pirates from harming her. Her own combat effectiveness is not strong, so it is best to stay here and guard. It just so happens that their speedboat needs a safe watcher.
When she came over to join, He Ao had already thought about this situation.
"Okay!"
Orator nodded slightly.
He Ao led the remaining two people up the rope ladder and climbed onto the side of the ship.
When the three people climbed onto the deck, they were greeted by a clean and tidy deck and silent lights.
