Chapter 1345: Chapter 661 It’s also quite nice to take a sheep along_3

He began to take out bags of medicine powder one by one.

The assault boat couldn’t carry too much weight, so Sean Knight had to proceed step by step.

It was only after he had spread the powder that he realized he had underestimated the size of the gigantic ship!

The vessel was even larger than he had imagined!

Left with no choice, he could only focus on the security personnel on the deck and along the coast!

There were still a few lights on the deck of the cargo ship, and the security personnel were patrolling, but soon they started to fall to the ground with a "plop plop," not getting up again.

The same happened to the security personnel on the shore.

One of them, who was outside the range, felt something was amiss and picked up the walkie-talkie, intending to sound the alarm to the ship, but there was no response; then his eyes rolled back, and he fainted!

After Sean Knight had used up the last of the powder at hand, he knew that was all he could do for now and steered the assault boat closer to the cargo ship, then took out his walkie-talkie and said:

"Action!"

The people inside the truck had been waiting for those words, and they immediately filed out, approaching the cargo ship according to the predetermined route.

The fallen security personnel were dragged aside and placed neatly by them, and Seliman couldn’t wait to climb aboard via the ladder.

Sean Knight had already appeared on the deck.

After making a round, he found that at least everyone on the deck had been knocked unconscious.

"Be careful when you go down. There should be quite a few people below," said Sean Knight, noticing most below were in a deep sleep; as long as they didn’t make too much noise, there shouldn’t be any problems.

Elijah Hastings and the others nodded and began to move separately.

All were dressed in black, with black hoods and guns in their hands, leather boots under their feet—it was impossible to tell who they were.

Sean Knight also put on a hood and followed them downstairs.

Because he had discovered that the contents of the cargo ship were indeed quite valuable!

Aside from the level where the crew slept, the rooms below were all cargo holds, and it was clear that Seliman’s tribe members were also living in the cargo holds.

Sean Knight didn’t follow them; instead, he checked the cargo holds one by one.

This level was all food.

Without any hesitation, Sean Knight gathered up all the bagged food.

The cargo ship rocked slightly, but it didn’t affect the deep sleep of the people.

After the food was secured, Sean Knight went to the next level.

This time, Sean Knight was greeted with an even bigger surprise!

The cargo hold was filled with boxes of firearms and bullets!

No wonder they were transporting people on such a huge ship, turns out they were smuggling!

Sean Knight guessed that these weapons were the main purpose of this shipment!

Happily "accepting" these weapons, the cargo ship swayed slightly and floated up quite a bit.

Heading down to the next level, Sean Knight already encountered team members coming up with some people.

These people were very haggard, but their expressions showed a hint of excitement.

Sean Knight nodded at the team members as a greeting and continued opening each cargo hold.

The next level was—all shells!

Boxes of shells, mostly 153 caliber, Sean Knight could imagine the civilian casualties these shells would cause if they were delivered to that place!

Without any hesitation, he gathered up these shells, and the cargo ship rose quite a bit more.

The next level down was filled with stinger missiles and other individual missiles.

These items were even more valuable. Naturally, Sean Knight wouldn’t pass them up.

By now, Sean Knight was overjoyed—the value of these weapons alone must exceed several tens of millions of dollars, right?

The next level down contained a mix of items. Here were boxes of parts, parts for armed equipment. There were parts for various weapons and equipment, including tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, air defense systems, and others that Sean Knight didn’t recognize.

These items were good as ballast.

Sean Knight knew there was one more level of cargo holds below, and he gathered these items with a sigh of relief.

Now the cargo ship was rising again, nearly as much as an empty ship would.

Sean Knight was very pleased.

If helping Seliman with the rescue operation was largely because her people were "innocent" victims involved due to his own actions, then these gains completely signified how much larger and fuller his luck was compared to others!

To salvage such a fortune while rescuing someone was unmatched!

Sean Knight walked leisurely to the lowest hold.

He saw Seliman excitedly waking up one tribe member after another, then having the team members help them out.

Although the cargo hold wasn’t large, it seemed to house at least a hundred people at the moment.

What Sean Knight was certain of was that, given these living conditions, it would be fairly normal for a few people to have died on the way—the hold was extremely dirty, chaotic, and foul-smelling.

Seeing Sean Knight, gratitude filled Seliman’s eyes.

Sean Knight nodded at her and left.

There was more than this cargo hold on the bottom level.

Besides the working spaces for the cargo ship, there were a few more holds that Sean Knight decided to check out.

Opening one, he found it contained blocks of iron—were they for ballast?

Take them.

He opened another and discovered steel pipes!

Take them!

Opening the last one:

This time, Sean Knight was pleasantly surprised once more!

It contained boxes of heavy metals, not just gold but also platinum, rhenium, and many other extremely valuable metal materials!

There were at least a hundred tons of materials here, their worth tantamount to hundreds of tons of gold!

Sean Knight happily accepted them!

Just as he had gathered these items, he heard angry shouts coming from outside the hold!

From the beginning of the operation, the entire cargo ship had been very quiet. Whether it was Elijah Hastings and his team controlling personnel or Seliman rescuing people, nobody spoke loudly.

But now, a loud shout shattered the silence!

Sean Knight, having seen through Sky Eye that some of the crew members who hadn’t been knocked out were groggily opening their eyes, was furious!

Who was so reckless and shouting, destroying the calm?

Sean Knight quickly left the hold and rushed towards Seliman’s location!

Arriving there, he heard the ongoing shouts:

"... It’s all your fault! The entire tribe, along with our wealth accumulated over hundreds of years, along with our homeland, all ruined! You disaster star..."

Before his eyes was an elderly lady, pointing at Seliman and scolding her fiercely.

Seliman looked hapless, not daring to talk back.

And the team members were impatiently trying to calm her down.

The situation had spun out of control!
