My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!
Chapter 344 - 227: Gift

Chapter 344: Chapter 227: Gift

Top deck swimming pool.

A group of foreign tourists with varying skin colors were lying on lounge chairs, enjoying the beautiful sunset where the sea met the sky.

"Hey, Jack, can you help me with the sunscreen?"

"Hmm... But Rose, the sun is about to set."

"Does that matter?"

Looking at the bikini-clad beauty casting flirtatious glances at him, Jack was instantly thrilled.

Just as he was thinking about inviting the beauty to his room after dinner to paint a portrait, the noise from the surrounding crowd suddenly escalated.

"Oh! Crap!"

"It looks like they are coming for us!"

Before Jack could understand what was happening, a strong gust of wind pressed down from above, causing the tourists to scream and scatter.

When Jack looked up, he saw an image he would never forget...

A silver-white Zhi-20 military transport aircraft hovered about 15 meters above the top deck, and soon a rope was thrown down.

One by one, figures jumped from the open hatch, beautifully descending rapidly towards the ground following standard rappelling actions!

"Bang!" The first figure landed, nearly just 10 meters away from Jack.

Jack then saw that it was a fully armed soldier wearing a tactical helmet and a masked face.

Upon landing, he knelt on the ground and raised his automatic rifle, cautiously surveying his surroundings, preparing to provide cover for the troops following him.

The piercing gaze swept over Jack, jolting him and Rose out of their stupor.

The man and woman immediately clung to each other in terror.

After that, one after another, members of the special forces landed on the deck.

The Zhi-20 could carry up to 10 marines but had gathered only a three-man tactical team; they didn’t wait for all the accompanying troops to land, and the first rappelling leader immediately ordered.

"Each group, proceed with the plan, now!"

Subsequently, the trio formed a standard assault formation, covering each other as they rapidly descended the stairs towards the lower decks.

Jack and Rose looked at each other in bewilderment...

Not just them, the entire cruise ship was baffled by the sudden descent of three Zhi-20 helicopters.

At this moment, the cruise ship had just docked, and the gangway hadn’t even been lowered yet.

Many tourists were watching the scenery from the side and the deck, now all staring dumbfounded at the three military helicopters hovering above the cruise ship.

The five-rotor blades whipped up a strong gust, and even without obvious offensive weapons like missile pods, the presence was still immensely intimidating.

"What’s going on?"

"I don’t know, is it a drill?"

"How could it be! This is an international cruise ship!"

"Cool! Is this Country Hua’s special forces? I want to make a Tik Tok! Uh... why is my phone not getting any signal?"

"Huh? Mine too!"

"..."

Although the tourists were surprised, they weren’t particularly panicked.

After all, they were on a super cruise ship, and even in the Public Sea, piracy was a possibility; now that they were docked on the famously safe territory of Country Hua, how could they possibly be under attack from the military?

Inside the cruise ship’s control room.

Daisen, the second captain who had just docked the ship, was astonished as he watched the approaching helicopters through the porthole.

The three helicopters hovered in three positions: forward, mid, and aft of the cruise ship.

From their viewpoint through the porthole, they could see Country Hua’s special forces rappelling onto the forward deck.

"What’s going on? What do these people of Country Hua want to do?"

At this moment, one of the communication officers shouted.

"Captain Daisen! We’ve received an urgent law enforcement notice from Country Hua’s police forces."

"An urgent law enforcement notice?" Captain Daisen was momentarily confused.

"What law enforcement notice?"

"They say... they’ve received reliable information that terrorists have infiltrated our cruise ship, and for the safety of the ship, they need to board and apprehend the terrorists!"

"What?!"

Terrorists? This...

Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

You’re already on board and you just sent the notice, that’s clearly a sudden attack.

Logically, they should protest strongly, given that the cruise ship, flying a foreign flag, is essentially foreign territory.

However, since the official notice had arrived and the reason seemed just, and it was within their territorial waters, they indeed had the right to board and inspect, legally there was no problem.

If it turned out to be a false alarm, that would be another matter...

"Quick! Notify the captain!"

The second captain felt the situation was serious and immediately said so.

"No use, there’s no cell signal; the other party seems to have used some kind of broad-range communication jammer!"

Daisen felt a pang of ache in his teeth.

However, considering that the opposition operated military transport aircraft, equipped with such equipment was not unexpected.

"Then use the emergency calling bell!"

In large cruise ships, the captain’s rest room was generally equipped with an emergency calling bell to ensure the captain could be reached in an emergency.

Meanwhile.

"This is the Country Hua Special Service Team. Several terrorists have been detected aboard your vessel. For the safety of all passengers, my unit is ordered to board your ship and conduct a search. Please, all passengers, orderly return to your cabins and try not to go outside!"

"This is the Country Hua Special Service Team..."

The three helicopters also began to repeatedly broadcast the message in multiple languages.

Upon hearing this, some tourists were indifferent, some hesitated for a moment but still returned to their cabins, and some hid in safe places to watch the excitement. However, the number of tourists outside the cabins slowly began to decrease.

Meanwhile, the Deputy Captain was patrolling the stern of the ship. When he saw the three military helicopters hovering above and the dozens of fully armed combat personnel rappelling down,

Hearing the terrorist rhetoric over the helicopter’s broadcast, the second mate’s face showed confusion and suspicion.

If there really were terrorists that had drawn the military of Country Hua, that would be relatively okay, but what if it was targeting them instead?

Yet, it seemed illogical; even if they were exposed, at most, it would alert the police or Interpol, not the military, right?

Isn’t this using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?

Even if that weren’t the case, if the other party decided to forcibly search the entire ship, the situation still looked bleak...

He had a bad feeling deep in his heart.

It won’t do! He must find a way to stop them, so he immediately pulled out his phone.

"Damn it!"

When he realized that the communication device in his hand was useless, he could only curse under his breath and quickly rushed to the captain’s rest room.

But it was just a brief delay, and their fate was already sealed...

Outside a certain cabin on the lower level of the cruise ship.

"Is this the place?"

"Yeah! According to the intel, this is the right place!"

"Great! Xiao Li, keep watch; Elder Pi, turn on the full-spectrum bomb jamming device!"

A special forces soldier beside them immediately detached the specialized equipment from his back and manipulated it for a moment, "Jammer confirmed on!"

At the same time, the team leader had already installed a small claymore bomb on the lock of the cabin door.

The three of them stepped back into hiding, and with a "boom," the door was violently blown open...

...

"What are you doing? What are you doing?! This is the territory of Britain, I am the captain of the ship, Captain Steve! I am a citizen of the Great Britain Empire, and I am also a distinguished Baron!

You will hear from our embassy for treating me this way!

You people from Country Hua, you are truly barbaric!

Your actions will cause a serious international dispute!"

By the time the second mate arrived outside the captain’s rest room, what he saw was the usually arrogant Big Beard being pinned to the ground by several special forces soldiers, shouting defiantly.

It’s over!

They were indeed targeted for this!

The second mate instinctively stepped back and tried to sneak away quietly.

However, from about ten meters away, the leader of the special forces noticed him. His sharp gaze swept over the back of his hand, his eyes narrowed, and without a hint of hesitation, he charged towards him.

Even laden with equipment, his speed was as swift as the wind!

"Not good!"

The second mate immediately turned and ran, taking the stairs down to the lower levels, hoping to use his familiarity with the terrain to lose his pursuer.

But just as he reached the foot of the stairs, a shadow suddenly appeared to his side!

He only had time to turn his head when he saw someone leap down from above, a fierce kick coming his way!

"Bang!" He was kicked against the cabin wall by the shoulder.

"Damn!" The second mate pulled out a sharp dagger and stabbed viciously at his attacker, but before he could see how the other man moved, he was flying through the air!

"Bang!"

The second mate landed hard and felt a sharp pain in his chest, causing a shock to go through his mind.

Knowing he was no match for this guy, he immediately sneered and pulled a remote control from his chest.

"Think you can catch us? No one will get the better of us!"

After saying that, he fiercely pressed the red button!

The special forces soldier on the other side, however, was unhurriedly watching him, seemingly not in the least bit anxious.

"You probably don’t know what this is, right? Let me tell you honestly, the thing you’re looking for will go ’boom’ and turn to dust in an instant, and you’ll also get into big trouble, hahaha!" The second mate laughed heartily in fluent Chinese.

"Enough noise!" "Bang!" "Ah!"

He didn’t even see how the other man drew his gun, he just heard a gunshot and the second mate was already screaming, holding his wrist.

The remote control also fell to the ground.

"Hahaha! Useless, even if you kill me, it’s no use, hahaha..." The second mate still looked fierce, his face twisted with madness.

However, after waiting a long time, the expected explosion did not occur, and his face started to change.

"How is this possible? Why didn’t it explode?!"

"Captain Chu, the bomb has been disarmed! What should we do?"

Over the earpiece came the report of a teammate, and below Major General Chu’s face mask, the corners of his mouth curled upwards.

"Same old rules!"

"Roger that!" An excited reply came over the earpiece.

Shortly after, a black box was thrown far from the cruise ship, and moments later...

"Boom!"

A column of water shot up into the sky, leaving all the passengers on the cruise ship stunned.

Standing on the shore, Meng Lang didn’t see the whole operation, but the column of water had already explained everything.

He was speechless.

Grandma’s! Three Z-20 helicopters, dozens of special forces, did the scene have to be this huge...

Wang Zhao Ping, that guy, how did he manage to even call in specialized troops?

If I had known you had this capability, why the hell would I struggle through that ordeal?!

But thinking about it...

Did I just flawlessly complete the mission while lying down?

Little did he know.

All the changes stemmed from him, this little butterfly...

Fate’s gift is only ever late, never absent...
