Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty

Chapter 409: Chapter 409: The Ancient Knight-errant

Lu Xiao’s room was in an excellent location, on the topmost deck of the cruise ship.

Outside the room, there was a balcony of about three meters.

After returning to his room, Lu Xiao leisurely boiled water to make tea, and then he took some snacks out to the balcony.

Sitting down, he gazed at the deep blue sea and took a gentle sip of his tea.

At this moment, he truly understood why so many people were passionate about the ocean.

That sense of boundless expanse, the feeling of the sea breeze and the majestic waves, was the ultimate romantic embodiment of freedom and intensity.

"It’s just that the tea is a bit subpar," Lu Xiao murmured with a sigh.

Although he wasn’t much of a connoisseur, he could still tell good from bad.

The tea he drank in the courtyard house before was authentic Da Hong Pao, but the stuff in packets in his room...

Forget it, why bother?

"Tat-tat-tat..." Just then, a burst of gunfire sounded.

Lu Xiao glanced down and saw, oh, it was actually pirates.

There were three modified fishing boats, each with four or five people standing on them, all armed with guns, firing wildly at the cruise ship.

Even, Lu Xiao saw someone on one of the boats pull out a grenade launcher.

Still, Lu Xiao remained calm, staying seated on the balcony without bothering to move.

Such weapons were of no consequence to a giant oil tanker.

You could have your AK smoking hot, and it wouldn’t scratch the cruise ship.

As for the grenade launcher, that thing was more bark than bite when it came to the cruise ship—it was all thunder and no rain.

Besides, the cruise ship’s security team wasn’t dead.

Seeing someone pull out a grenade launcher, they would certainly prioritize taking that person down.

Sure enough, the next second, even more intense gunfire erupted.

The pirate who picked up the grenade launcher was instantly turned into a sieve. The other three pirates on the same boat were also hit, writhing and groaning as they lay on the fishing boat.

"So weak," Lu Xiao couldn’t help shaking his head at this sight.

With that level of skill, who gave you the courage to hijack a cruise ship?

Large cruise ships were known to be tricky targets in the pirate world, with most pirate groups preferring to go after super freighters rather than cruise ships.

Besides the difficulty, hijacking a cruise ship also led to more severe follow-up problems.

"Rushing up just after leaving the territorial waters of Meili Country, this must be problematic," Lu Xiao suddenly thought of another possibility.

If these pirates were a ruse, that would make more sense.

Pirates feigning an attack to draw the guard’s attention, while another group inside the cruise ship proceeds to plunder.

"If that’s the case, it could be quite interesting."

Of course, Lu Xiao remained cool as an old dog.

Whichever it was, it made no difference to him.

He was, after all, half a Super Tier, and Liuli Hong was one and a half of a Super Tier, adding up to two Super Tiers.

Two Super Tiers dying in a cruise ship hijacking...

The likelihood was virtually nil.

Unless Meili Country knew the two of them were on this cruise ship and decided to send everyone up to heaven irrespective of the consequences.

Ten minutes later, of the three modified fishing boats below the cruise ship, only one remained. The other two and the people on them had sunk into the vast ocean.

On the remaining boat, only two people were still resisting.

"Annihilate them!" A woman’s shout rang out.

The teacup Lu Xiao was about to lift to his mouth trembled; he recognized Yan Yun’s voice just by hearing it.

"Her spirit is inescapable," Lu Xiao couldn’t help but sigh.

To be fair, Yan Yun was very attractive and quite unique—really quite special.

Her spirit of chivalry was unmatched.

Lu Xiao had encountered many tough and durable women, and during his time on the border, he had also met some spirited and fierce ladies.

But Yan Yun gave him a different feeling.

Yan Yun was more colorful and pure, a carefree boldness erupting from deep within her heart.

"The chivalrous heroes from the ancient world must have been just like her," Lu Xiao said, shaking his head with a smile.

On one hand, he found Yan Yun somewhat annoying and overly aggressive, yet he couldn’t help but admire and praise her.

...

A few minutes later, the remaining modified fishing boat made its escape.

On deck, there were cheers and shouts of approval.

However, at this moment, Lu Xiao sensed something was wrong.

The interior of the ship was too quiet; logically, there should also be cheering and celebration inside after seeing the pirates being repelled, but there was none. Even the tower control room didn’t emit any instructions or sound.

"Bang!" A muffled gunshot sounded.

On deck, a security guard fell to the ground at the sound.

"Get down, find cover," Yan Yun reacted quickly, immediately going prone while loudly issuing orders.

At that moment, continuous gunfire roared.

Those guards who got down quickly dodged a bullet, but the slower ones were riddled like sieves.

In just a few seconds, the deck was already stained red.

On the balcony of the room, Lu Xiao’s fingers twitched slightly, but in the end, he averted his gaze toward the sea.

Liuli Hong had warned him when boarding the cruise ship: stay low-key and pretend to be the most ordinary person.

Because once he took action, there was the risk of exposure.

And once exposed, given what they had done related to the Divine Light Plan, it would be enough to make High Court bombard everything without a second thought.

At that point, not only would he and Liuli Hong not make it out, everyone on the cruise ship would have to join them in their fate.

"Team A, cover and counterattack; Team B, move around to door number three, head to the tower!"

"Be mindful of conserving ammunition."

The sound of Yan Yun’s commands filled the air.

But no sooner had her words ended, the place where Yan Yun took cover was met with an extremely intense barrage of fire.

Bullets filled the sky, sparks flying everywhere.
