Chapter 818: Chapter 483: Facing the Missiles, Chickening Out!_2

"Squad leader, we’ve got this toy, we’re definitely good, right?" the young guard patted the riot gun strapped to him, speaking excitedly.

He was a bit dissatisfied with the squad leader’s cautious approach. With a riot gun in hand, who would dare to make trouble?

One shot was enough to scare them all off!

So what if they had a big ship? Could it stop a bullet?

The squad leader looked at the young face of his team member and shook his head, saying:

"You’re still too young to know how vicious these people can be. You think this is like back home? Back home is relatively safe, and a riot gun can solve problems. But where are we now? This isn’t back home!

Small boats here might do a bit of fishing at most, but a big ship doing just fishing? That wouldn’t even cover the fuel costs! The things they’re looking for must be very valuable, and accordingly, their weapons are at least as strong as ours!

So, we can’t act rashly. If we find something, we report it immediately! Both Mr. Knight and Miss Brown have said that our safety comes first. It’s okay if we can’t beat them, but if we risk our own lives, that would be a disgrace!"

The young team member was still not convinced, but the boss had told them to listen to the squad leader when they set out. Besides, having only recently completed his service, the squad leader’s authority was still acknowledged, and he had no choice but to comply.

The speedboat cut through the sea, heading in the southeast direction.

Half an hour later, they rounded a sharp corner of the island and then saw a large ship weighing around four to five hundred tons anchored there, with divers going up and down salvaging something.

"Squad leader, I knew it, there is a ship!" the young guard exclaimed excitedly.

The squad leader knew trouble was coming as soon as he heard that shout. If they could be heard, how could the other party not notice?

As expected, the people on the deck over there looked their way—though the speedboat was a big target, so there was no avoiding it.

"Go, call for support from Port!" the squad leader pointed to the walkie-talkie and said to the young guard, himself picking up the loudspeaker and shouting:

"To the ship over there, you have entered private sea territory, you must stop salvaging immediately and accept inspection!"

After shouting three times, the squad leader turned his head to find the young guard holding the walkie-talkie, but instead of calling for help, he pointed indignantly at the big ship and said:

"Squad leader, look how arrogant they are, they totally disregard us!"

"Slap!" the squad leader, angered, smacked the young guard on the head:

"I told you to call for backup, what are you doing? Do you have a death wish?"

The young guard was stunned by the slap.

Having worked for nearly a week, the squad leader had never spoken a harsh word to him before. What was up today?

He felt wronged, but seeing the strict look in the squad leader’s eyes, he reluctantly lowered his head to call for backup.

"Fish Nest, Fish Nest, this is Flying Fish, respond if you hear me, respond if you hear me!"

"Fish Nest received, Fish Nest received!"

After a burst of electronic noise, the voice from Port came through the walkie-talkie.

"We’ve spotted a four-hundred-ton salvage ship at the southeast corner of Big Island, bearing... We’ve called out to them, but they didn’t stop their salvaging actions, requesting backup, requesting backup!"

"Fish Nest received, Flying Fish maintain a safe distance to the target, ensure your own safety! Ensure your own safety! We will send support immediately, I repeat, make sure to ensure safety!"

After the walkie-talkie transmission ended, the rookie guard looked up begrudgingly at the old squad leader, only to find the old squad leader had already taken the riot gun in hand and was looking vigilantly at the big ship.

"Squad leader, do we need to be this alert?" the young guard straightened up and looked towards the big ship.

"Slap!" The old squad leader slapped the young guard on the head again: "Be safe! Get down!"

Before the young guard could react and talk back to the squad leader, a "whoosh" sounded near his ear, sending a shiver down his spine!

Damn it, those were bullets whizzing by!

They were shooting!

This time, the young guard finally understood why the squad leader was so cautious!

This place was nothing like back home!

These guys were not like the small-time domestic traders, they had guns, and they dared to use them!

On his first patrol mission, the young guard realized that even with a riot gun in hand, his safety was not necessarily guaranteed!

And he also understood why Fish Nest had emphasized over and over, to ensure safety!

These opponents truly dared to shoot!

"Damn it, they dare to shoot at us!" the squad leader gritted his teeth with ferocity.

But the young guard felt a mixture of sadness and despair—their riot gun didn’t have the range, nor the firepower!

However, his eyes widened—suddenly, the squad leader pulled out a Type 81 rifle from beneath the speedboat!

This old gun, something he had only seen in internet photos, was actually aboard the speedboat!

Having been on missions for a week with this speedboat, he had no idea that this weapon was on board!

The young man’s excitement surged!

"Bang bang bang!" the squad leader manipulated the Type 81, switched off the safety, cocked the gun to load the bullet, roughly aimed, and with a short burst fire, shot at the other party!

The people on the other ship had never expected the speedboat to have any formidable weapons. The enemy gunner was even casually smoking while shooting, thinking that all they needed was to suppress them a bit.

The divers continued diving, and those on deck sorting the salvaged items continued their sorting.

The salvaged items were not of low value!

Stalks of red coral, that was all money!
