Nie Yun was furious, and the consequences were dire!
I had just set a goal to become a great fisherman, and someone was actually plotting against my "fleet" in my own backyard!
This was intolerable! If an uncle could tolerate this, an aunt certainly couldn't!
"Sea Wolf, prepare to sortie!" Nie Yun roared!
The Mechanical Insects that were busy propagating their colony immediately stirred, abandoning the already ravaged and pitted Chengjiang, and scurried along the connected hulls back to Sea Wolf.
Form the engine! Form the propellers! Form the cannons!
Sea Wolf instantly bared its fangs, becoming incredibly ferocious!
Nie Yun abandoned the slow-accelerating sail propulsion, switching instead to the propeller system just scavenged from Chengjiang. He viciously assembled three full sets of propellers in the bilge and extended two more sets from the sides. As soon as the five propellers were assembled, they began to spin madly.
Countless Xiaolang robots hauled oil drums, pouring fuel into the diesel engines without reservation to provide ample power.
Sea Wolf began to move slowly, its speed increasing rapidly. By the time it charged out of the base along the channel at a nearly 30-degree tilt, its speed had already soared to 20 knots, its bow pointed straight toward the direction of Nie Yun's "fleet"!
Nie Yun stood at the bow, waving his hand, "Sea Wolf! Full speed ahead!"
"Boom, boom, boom!" The diesel engines let out a series of roars, running at 120% overload capacity.
The propellers beneath the sea surface spun even faster, churning up massive sprays of water. Sea Wolf's speed continued to climb, quickly exceeding its original theoretical design limit.
Nie Yun's tousled hair at the bow was whipped by the strong sea breeze, dancing wildly, much like the mood of its master at this moment.
His eyes burned with raging fury, murderous intent surging!
"No matter who you are! Anyone who dares to touch my 'fleet' will die!"
On the yacht.
Feng Ge watched the mercenaries looting everywhere and couldn't help but step forward, saying, "Captain Ruan, make sure your men are careful later. Don't damage the target inside. My young master gave specific orders that it must be completely unharmed!"
"Rest assured, we are very skilled at this kind of thing. We'll toss in two tear gas grenades first, and I guarantee the target will find it hard to even die if they wanted to, haha!"
"That's good, that's good! I really owe it to Captain Ruan this time. After it's done, the 10 million USD reward will be transferred to your account in full. Happy cooperation, haha!"
With things going so smoothly this time, Feng Ge was in a great mood. Thinking of the little starlet he had at home, he began to look forward to what kind of reward his young master would give him this time.
"Yes, happy cooperation! Haha!"
Captain Ruan was also in a good mood. The mission was going smoothly, the payment was about to be in hand, and there was the extra gain of a mysterious box. How could he not be satisfied?
The group waited for about half an hour before a subordinate came to report.
"Captain, it's about time over there. We can make our move!"
Captain Ruan nodded, handed the box to a subordinate beside him, and told him to put it in his backpack before saying, "Let's go, call the brothers to assemble, and we'll go over and take a look!"
"Yes!"
With that, except for the dozen or so mercenaries left behind to guard the speedboat and control the deck, the others followed their leader into the yacht.
Captain Wei was left on the deck, guarded by two mercenaries.
He was trembling, his eyes filled with horror as he looked at the corpses and bloodstains on the deck. Because no one had cleaned them up, they were emitting a heavy, bloody stench.
Captain Wei's gaze swept over the corpse of Manager Wu lying in a pool of blood not far away, and he quickly turned his head, not daring to look again.
The two of them could be considered colleagues, having known each other for several years. At this moment, his heart was filled with both panic and guilt.
"Brother Wu, it really wasn't my intention to harm you. They didn't say they would kill anyone, really! My son was captured by them, and I had no choice! I didn't do it for the money!
If I didn't listen to them, my son would have lost his life. He is my only son! I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!" He muttered to himself, tears streaming down his old face.
"Hmph!" The two mercenaries nearby glanced at Captain Wei with disdain.
"Hmm? Strange, did you hear any sound?" One of the mercenaries suddenly asked, puzzled.
"Sound? Huh! It seems there is some sound. It sounds like... that direction!" The other tilted his head and listened for a while before speaking.
"Whoosh, whoosh~" The sound grew louder, and more mercenaries looked in that direction.
Captain Wei was also slightly stunned, looking at the pitch-black sea. Having dealt with ships for years, he was the first to react: this was the sound of a vessel cutting through the water at high speed!
And... it was charging straight at them!
He took two steps back in terror, his eyes widening as he stared in that direction.
All the mercenaries on the deck also sensed the abnormality and raised their firearms, aiming in that direction.
"Quick! Shine the searchlight over there!" A sharp-witted mercenary reacted and shouted.
As the bright light shone over, a scene that left everyone dumbfounded entered their eyes.
Hundreds of meters away, a massive ship resembling a medieval sailing vessel leaped out of the darkness. Its pointed bow pierced the sea surface, kicking up waves several meters high, and it charged toward them with the momentum of a prehistoric beast.
"Oh, my God!"
"Fuck! What is that!"
"Quick! Evasive maneuvers!"
Everyone was screaming and shouting in a panic!
Only Captain Wei stood there blankly, muttering to himself, "This... this is a Spanish ship of the line!"
As a naval expert, how could he fail to recognize the origin of the ship before him? Yet, that was precisely why his brain had completely shut down.
A warship from hundreds of years ago? Charging toward him at a speed of over a hundred kilometers per hour?!
Am I dreaming!?
However, the two vessels were already too close. Before anyone on board could react, the sailing ship performed a nimble, drift-like maneuver to turn broadside and decelerate, right before the horrified and incredulous eyes of the crowd, sending a torrential downpour of seawater crashing down onto everyone on the deck.
Then, with a deafening "Boom!", the sides of the two ships slammed violently into each other. Debris flew everywhere, and the screeching wail of twisting steel was clearly audible.
All the mercenaries were sent reeling by the sudden impact. Some unlucky ones were struck by flying splinters and suffered broken bones, while others were thrown directly into the sea, filling the air with cries of agony.
Captain Wei was quick-witted; when the ships collided, he ducked behind a crate and gripped a cable tightly, narrowly escaping disaster.
Once the situation finally calmed down, the soaked survivors on the yacht's deck looked up in stunned silence at the culprit behind it all.
A wooden hull, three masts standing tall—every inch of the vessel radiated a profound sense of history.
Yet, this antique, which should only be seen in movies or museums, had appeared right before them and delivered such a shocking blow!
A collision of the century between a medieval sailing ship and a modern yacht?!
God! Someone tell me this isn't a dream! Which director came up with this? It's fucking ridiculous!
Needless to say, this was none other than Nie Yun, fueled by towering rage, aboard his Sea Wolf!
