Chapter 819: 483

Sudden gunfire broke out, throwing everyone on the boat into panic, and a short burst of fire struck a diver, who fell into the sea!

"Garrick is injured!" someone on the deck shouted.

"The people on those speedboats dare to shoot!" The shooters who were initially suppressing fire got angry, raised their guns, and started shooting towards them with a "bang bang bang".

"Monitor, shoot them, shoot them!" the Young Guard shouted excitedly.

"Shoot my ass, get the boat turned around, let’s go!" the Old Squad Leader shouted without looking back, "They must have heavy firepower, our speedboat is thin-skinned and can’t withstand much, it will blow up with just one hit... What are you waiting for, move it!"

The Young Guard hesitated again, the script was not right!

Weren’t they supposed to bravely exchange fire and then suppress the opponent to make them surrender?

"Hurry up!" the Squad Leader fired another Short Burst Fire, and seeing the Young Guard still motionless, he kicked him.

A bullet came out of nowhere and opened up a wound on the Old Squad Leader’s shoulder, his blood immediately staining his clothes red.

"Get moving!" the Old Squad Leader said, pressing his shoulder, "If we don’t move now, we’re as good as dead here!"

Seeing the Squad Leader injured and bleeding, the Young Guard finally reacted, immediately steering the speedboat to turn around and head back.

Seeing the people on the speedboat seemed unharmed and trying to escape, the gunner on the boat got furious, realising that if things didn’t pan out, he could be fined. He threw away the gun in his hand, ran to another part of the deck, lifted a tarp, and revealed a high-low dual-purpose machine gun!

He adjusted the muzzle towards the direction of the speedboat, loaded the bullets, and squeezed the trigger, opening fire with a "thud thud thud"!

The fire rate of the high-low dual-purpose machine gun was not as fast as that of a rifle, but its power was incomparable. The 12.7mm bullets exploded on the sea surface, creating water flowers, and chased after the speedboat!

"Speed up!"

The Old Squad Leader, at the stern of the speedboat, was shooting at the big ship, enduring the pain. His shoulder was bleeding so profusely that half of his body was stained red, but he was completely indifferent to it.

But as the distance grew, the power of the Type 81 rifle greatly diminished, and it was no match for the Anti-aircraft Machine Gun!

Right now, all they could hope was to escape the effective firing range before the machine gun bullets hit the speedboat, that was the only way to get away.

The young security personnel had already maxed out the speed, but at that moment, a bullet hit the engine at the back of the speedboat, causing it to belch black smoke and stall!

The gunner on the big ship triumphantly ceased fire and then shouted:

"Their boat is done for, deploy two speedboats and go catch them!"

He also wanted to kill the opponents right there.

But the boss had long decreed that if they could take them alive, they should because having hostages provided a good bargaining chip to negotiate.

After all, no one could guarantee that such a salvage operation would go smoothly, right?

Two speedboats were lowered from the ship, forming two arcs in the water as they headed towards the patrol boat.

Each speedboat had five armed men, who were shouting arrogantly at the two security guards.

"Xiao Zuo, there’s a Diving Suit there, you go underwater first! Later, someone will surely come to rescue the Fish Nest!"

As the approaching speedboats drew closer, the Old Squad Leader said to the Young Guard, "Once you’re down, I can handle them better."

"What about the two sets of diving equipment, we go down together or we stay together!"

"Bullshit two sets, did you forget, when we left the port this morning, you lent a set to that girl on the Sandy Beach!" the Old Squad Leader cursed, "Did you leave your brains behind?"

"That’s my fault, if anyone should go down, it should be me..." The Young Guard, feeling guilty and close to tears, was very afraid of those armed men on the speedboat, but he couldn’t abandon the Old Squad Leader.

Trouble started because of him, and he had to bear it!

"Go down my ass! Move it! I am the monitor!" Tightening his grip on the Type 81 rifle, the Old Squad Leader reloaded a full Magazine; he had no intention of surrendering!

Although working as a security guard here was different from defending domestic territory, facing these ruthless fellows stirred the fighting spirit in his bones.

Humph, think I’ll surrender? No way!

Those on the two speedboats seemed to have regarded them as Spoils of War, firing their guns occasionally but only shooting into the air or near the speedboat, playing a cat and mouse game.

The Old Squad Leader was furious but didn’t let the rage get the best of him; he wanted to wait for them to get closer before striking hard!

"Go down now!" He saw Xiao Zuo still not moving and kicked him again.

"If we go down, we go down together; if we stay, we stay together!" Xiao Zuo stubbornly shouted, raising his Riot gun.

"Fine, just don’t wet your pants later," the Old Squad Leader glanced at him and said, "They are no pushovers and won’t show mercy."

"Screw it! If I down one, I break even; if I take out two, I earn one!" This time, Xiao Zuo knew the odds were against them, wondering if they could last until support arrived from the Fish Nest.

At this life-and-death moment, he actually calmed down. His Type 97 Anti-Riot Gun, a Shotgun loaded with fragmentation bombs, could be lethal within thirty to fifty meters.

However, this weapon fell short compared to the Type 81 rifle. He just hoped he could aim accurately at least once and not waste his shot.

The movements of the two attracted the attention of the speedboats, and at a distance of about one hundred meters, the boats slowed down, with someone yelling:

"Drop your weapons and surrender with your hands up, or we’ll blow you up!"

"Yeah, we’ll blow you up!"

Feeling confident in their firepower, several people held their guns high, shouting arrogantly.

"Surrender your ass!" the Old Squad Leader shouted back, "Come on over if you dare, and we’ll see who shoots whom!"

"If you don’t surrender now, we’ll genuinely blow you up!" Seeing the firm stance on the other side, they even produced an RPG!

The faces of the Old Squad Leader and Xiao Zuo turned grims instantly.

If that thing hit, both the speedboat and they were done for!

As they exchanged glances, it seemed they really did need to jump into the sea!

Just then, the people on the speedboats across from them suddenly panicked, with the one holding the RPG tossing it aside, several men shouted in confusion:

"Run for it!"

"Turn around quickly!"

The Old Squad Leader and Xiao Zuo were puzzled for a moment, and then they heard the sound of an engine, along with—

"Tatatatatata!"

A close-defense cannon!

Coming from behind!
