"So, you are going to save people?"
He Ao looked at Yang De in front of him.
"Yes."
Yang De nodded slightly.
He Ao Now I roughly understand what just happened.
Balan contacted Yang De via radio and Satellite Phone, asking Yang De to hand over Transcendent Item on the cruise ship. If not, he would kill all the hijacked tourists.
He gave Yang De one and a half hours to think. If Yang De did not agree, he would kill one person every five minutes until they were all killed.
That cruise ship is from Central Land, and the tourists and crew on the cruise ship are all citizens of Central Land.
Use Middle Earth People's life to threaten Research Institute, and demand Research Institute to hand over all Transcendent Item obtained from Ruins.
This kind of thing can no longer be regarded as provocation. It is basically stepping on Research Institute's face and jumping sideways repeatedly.
This kind of thing cannot be undone.
This is not only related to the lives of Central Land citizens on that ship.
If Fang Cheng is successful this time, then it will be profitable to hijack Central Land citizens. Then all Central Land citizens outside the country may be life-threatening in the future, and Research Institute will lose its prestige among all Transcendental organizations around the world.
The prestige of an organization is not only related to the face of the organization, but also related to the positions of many outsiders affiliated with the organization.
In "Peace" Order, where distribution cannot be determined directly by force, "face" or "power" can sometimes greatly affect the distribution of benefits.
For example, if some small organization discovers the Ruins channel on the high seas, no matter how legitimate the reason is, it will definitely let it go and form an alliance with some large organizations to share this exploration opportunity.
But Research Institute can just eat it all in one bite and enjoy the opportunity to explore alone.
Therefore, Balan must pay the price for this incident, and all the tourists who were hijacked must be rescued.
But Balan is a C-level after all, and not just any team can complete this mission.
Currently, the C-level closest to Balan and capable of completing the mission is Yang De.
So things finally came back to Yang De.
But Yang De has to guard Transcendent Item on the cruise ship. Even if they have entered the safe area, these Transcendent Item still need a C-level guard.
Then Yang De thought of He Ao.
Although the combat effectiveness shown by He Ao was a bit erratic, it was indeed able to kill the C-level psychiatrist and was able to withstand the attack of C-level Hu Wen.
In terms of overall strength, He Ao is considered a C-level player.
But the problem with He Ao is that he is not the compiler of Research Institute and has no obligation to help Research Institute.
"So I am going to entrust you to be the Acting Captain of this ship and temporarily protect the ship until support from Research Institute arrives."
Yang De looked at He Ao, "This time, the 10,000 points approved by the above can be used as task rewards. Together with your previous 15,000 points, there is no need to go through the process and they will be credited immediately."
Ten thousand points is almost the entry price of C-class Transcendent Item.
There is only more than an hour until support from Research Institute arrives.
For more than an hour, I made Acting Captain on Safe Waters, and a C-level Transcendent Item.
Still arrive immediately.
Research Institute seems to be really angry this time.
But He Ao also knows that another person probably wouldn't be able to get this price.
After all, he had just returned to support the cruise ship, and when he dealt with the psychiatrist, he did not mention any compensation at all.
The reward was mentioned by Yang De after the fact.
Trust is mutual.
And this task is almost equivalent to handing over Research Institute's gains in Ruins's hands to He Ao.
"But the money is not that easy to get. Although the possibility of danger is unlikely now, and support from Research Institute will come quickly, but"
Yang De looked at He Ao and added softly, "We don't know what kind of tricks the enemy will use. This mission is still risky. How do you think about it?"
He Ao thought for a moment and nodded lightly.
"Okay."
He will also borrow Research Institute's power in the future. The stronger Research Institute shows his power and the higher his prestige, the easier it will be for him to borrow Research Institute's power in the future. What is convenient for others is what is convenient for oneself.
"Hero is a boy!"
Yang De laughed loudly, "Don't worry, we won't let you suffer."
At this point, he changed the topic, "But it's better to be careful in everything. If you encounter a relatively strong danger, wait for the support from Research Institute to arrive."
He Ao nodded slightly.
The two then chatted about some simple administrative details.
The more we chatted with Yang De, the happier he became. He only explained some basic ship knowledge and left it all to He Ao's free decision, and then asked Ye Feng to bring Nini in.
Little Girl looked around in confusion, and then looked at Yang De sitting in the middle.
Yang De does not look very kind, but looks a bit serious and fierce.
The first time Nini saw Yang De, he shrank towards He Ao.
Yang De squatted down and looked at Nini, "Uncle is going to help Nini find Father and Mother later, but he needs Nini's help. It might hurt a little, okay?"
Nini looked up at He Ao, then at Yang De, and then nodded slightly.
"Then Nini close your eyes."
Yang De said softly.
Nini closed his eyes obediently and nodded.
Yang De took out a small red box from the cabinet on the side. He slowly opened the lid of the box to reveal the items inside.
It was a lifelike finger, as if it had just been severed from a human body. This finger was suspended above a round bright red base, and seemed to be pointing in a certain direction.
Yang De During the process of moving the box, the direction of the box rotated, and the finger moved slowly and rotated back to its original direction.
No matter how Yang De moves the box, this finger points in the same direction.
Yang De signaled Ye Feng to lift Little Girl's hand, pull out his index finger, and then took out a silver knife. The silver knife flashed past, and a subtle bright red oozed from Little Girl's index finger.
This bright red comes together to form a drop of blood, which drips onto the bright red base and completely blends into the base.
The moment the blood dripped into the base, the entire box shook, and then the lifelike finger trembled and slowly rotated, pointing in a direction diagonally behind the cruise ship.
Yang De turned the box, and no matter how the box changed its orientation, the finger pointed in that direction.
Then Yang De closed the box, took out a band-aid and wrapped it around Little Girl.
Little Girl didn't even call out during the whole process.
"You can open your eyes now."
Yang De said softly.
Little Girl opened his eyes and huddled behind He Ao.
"This is a Item for Finding People. It requires a drop of the blood of a close relative to point to the location of the person with the closest blood relationship."
Yang De put the box aside and explained softly.
Since the purpose is to rescue people, the location of Pirate Mothership is actually not that important. Just locate the hijacked tourists directly.
According to the pirates, all the tourists were kept together.
Then Yang De went to gather the crew and announced that He Ao was temporarily in charge of the ship.
The crew did not resist the news. After all, He Ao's record and prestige were there, and the knowledge lasted more than an hour.
Then Yang De took several External Affairs Department staff members and set off quickly on a speedboat.
But he kept Ye Feng with He Ao and worked as his assistant.
After all, the two have already collaborated once, so it would be natural for them to collaborate again.
When everything was over, after only ten minutes of back and forth, Yang De disappeared into the night on the speedboat.
Little Girl Nini held He Ao's hand. She looked at the band-aid on her hand and looked up at He Ao, "Brother Eldest Brother, can you really find Father and Mother?"
"It must be possible."
He Ao smiled, squatted down, and rubbed Nini's head.
"Yeah."
Nini looked at the KFC paper bag floating on He Ao's head in the sea breeze, "Brother Eldest Brother, why can't the wind blow off your bag?"
"Because Brother Eldest Brother is a magician," He Ao put his hand on the paper bag, "Just watch."
The paper bag suddenly turned into a monkey mask, and then into a pig head mask.
Little Girl's melancholy was briefly dispelled by this "magic". She looked at He Ao's changes in surprise and curiosity, exclaiming "Wow wow wow".
At this time, a figure walked over under the light.
Orator also came over and stared blankly at He Ao changing around.
"Is this magic?"
She said in a zest.
"It's magic!"
Little Girl raised his hands.
He Ao showed the Five-Colored Ring worn on the little finger of his left hand, opened his mouth slightly, and mouthed, "Transcendent Item".
"Oh!"
Orator suddenly realized.
Then He Ao changed into a Superman leather case, a humanoid armor leather case, a Adam 1 Type leather case, and a Adam Type 2 leather case...
After playing with Nini for a while, Orator took Nini to her room to sleep. He Ao stretched out and stood on the deck of the bow.
The breeze ruffled his hair.
Deep in the night, the lights belonging to the ships flickered.
Ye Feng walked out of the cabin at some point. He stood behind He Ao and stared at the silent night together.
There are more and more ships around, and they are getting closer to the port.
"Say," after a while, He Ao suddenly spoke, "Would anyone use the same strategy twice in a short period of time?"
"Probably not,"
Ye Feng thought for a while and said, "After he used it once, the other party must have become wary. If he uses it a second time, it will have no effect."
"Yes," He Ao looked at the slowly approaching lights in the distance, "Do you have night vision binoculars?"
"I'll look for it."
Ye Feng ran into the cabin. After a while, he took out two telescopes and handed one to He Ao.
He Ao held the telescope and looked at the light. It was a huge Coal Ship. The flag of the Tia Empire hung on the top of the ship. It was slowly coming against the waves.
"Check the information broadcast by their Automatic Identification System to see if there is any abnormality."
He Ao said softly.
Automatic Identification System is a navigational aid system used for maritime safety and communication between ships and between ships and shores. It will communicate ship position, speed, course, ship name and other information with nearby ships to avoid ship collisions.
Most ships sailing normally will be equipped with this system. Pirate ships generally do not have this system. Even if they do, they are normal hijacked ships. The navigation records are very likely to be abnormal, but they can obtain the ship's navigation information by receiving this signal.
The cruise ship Research Institute has been followed before, maybe because of this signal.
This was one of the messages that Yang De briefly mentioned to He Ao before he left.
