Chapter 230: Super Flood 16
“An unidentified fishing boat is approaching us, one nautical mile away.”
Chu Yian calmly reported the information, looking at the small fishing boat in the distance.
On the flooded waters and the ocean, there was more than just their boat. They had encountered two others before, but those had left before even getting close.
Having had two experiences dealing with this issue, they originally intended to act according to their previous experience this time as well.
“Brother Jie, the yacht seems to have spotted us and is trying to escape!”
“Increase speed to maximum and block them horizontally. Zhang Yunwu, get your flamethrower ready.”
Zhang Yunwu quickly stood at the bow, holding his weapon, and aimed at the yacht. “Brother Jie, I’m ready, but there’s only one shot left for the flamethrower!”
As game props, everything had limitations.
For example, Zhang Yunwu’s flamethrower could only be used three times per game round.
Jie Yan, of course, knew his flamethrower only had one shot left. “Aim ahead of the yacht. Fire when I say so.”
The yacht sped across the sea, originally about to brush past the small, tattered boat that was chasing it. Who would have thought a giant fiery dragon would span a hundred meters and charge towards their yacht?
Chu Yian, piloting the yacht, instantly veered out of the intended trajectory.
She turned her head to look at the fishing boat, feeling a bit annoyed. Damn it!
But the flames looked somewhat familiar.
Before she could react, Lu Qingyuan had already opened a small crack in the window and set up his rifle. He fired a burst towards the fishing boat, sending the people on board scrambling for cover.
Holy crap, holy crap!
You Che pressed himself tightly against the bottom of the boat, knowing they had met their match.
They had been blinded by the luxurious yacht in front of them and had rashly attacked without assessing the strength of the people inside. At this moment, everyone else was too scared to get up due to the sudden gunfire. Only Jie Yan looked at the yacht ahead, estimating the situation inside.
The sound of the bullets firing was regular, coming from a single gun.
A total of 20 bullets were fired.
It looked very intimidating, but their eagerness to leave suggested they themselves weren’t entirely confident.
The number of people on the yacht was greater than or equal to two, because there must be one shooter and one driver. However, there shouldn’t be too many people, otherwise, if provoked, they should have charged over instead of changing direction and trying to leave.
Jie Yan reacted calmly, decisively, and quickly. “Liu Wen, you lead the counterattack. You don’t need to hit them, just keep the yacht here. Zhang Yunwu, come with me into the water, we’ll dive and board the boat!”
Since they had already met, there was no reason to let this yacht simply get away.
Seize it!
It would double the probability of the team surviving and clearing the game.
On the quiet sea, intense gunfire now echoed.
Chu Yian wanted to distance herself from the fishing boat, but the other side counterattacked fiercely, even becoming more aggressive.
Chu Yian couldn’t help but want to go up and help, but Lu Qingyuan stopped her.
“You focus on driving the boat. Be careful, someone might be diving to board.”
Hearing this, Chu Yian returned to the course and immediately increased the yacht’s speed to maximum.
Liu Wen, who was guarding the fishing boat, immediately noticed the yacht accelerating. Realizing that the other party was trying to escape, he gritted his teeth and hardened his resolve. “Where’s that grenade?”
The fishing boat accelerated towards them, and the grenade was thrown in front of the yacht.
Chu Yian quickly turned and stopped the boat, which also swayed in the water from the aftershock. At this moment, Liu Wen exposed himself when he threw the grenade, and Lu Qingyuan seized the opportunity to aim.
Liu Wen’s right shoulder was directly shot through by a bullet, and he cried out in pain.
That scream sounded so familiar.
Chu Yian was stunned for a moment. Just then, someone violently knocked on the glass on the side of the yacht. The glass didn’t shatter, but spiderweb-like cracks appeared. Chu Yian reacted instantly, pulling out the pistol from her waist and aiming it at the man who had secretly climbed aboard.
“Brother Jie!”
Jie Yan, who was about to knock a second time to capture the driver, also froze.
Both saw shock in each other’s eyes at the same time.
The next moment, Chu Yian looked at Lu Qingyuan, “Teacher Lu, stop shooting, they’re our people!”
Jie Yan also flipped over, agilely climbing onto the boat’s roof and waving his arm towards the fishing boat. The team members who saw Jie Yan’s action immediately ceased fire. At the same time, the yacht that had been trying to escape also stopped.
“Little Chu, how… cough, cough, cough!”
Jie Yan walked to the main door, just about to speak when he was seized by a fit of coughing.
Chu Yian, who hadn’t opened the door yet, paused, then took out masks from the emergency medicine supply and put them on for herself and Lu Qingyuan.
“Brother Jie, you guys really scared us to death.”
Chu Yian opened the boat door and said exaggeratedly, pretending she had been terrified and that the person who had just aimed a pistol at Jie Yan’s head wasn’t her. “Don’t mind us wearing masks, we just came from a flu zone and are afraid of spreading it, just in case.”
“It’s fine.”
Jie Yan glanced at Lu Qingyuan behind her, then coughed violently again. “We’ve probably already been infected. It’s safer to stay away from me. When I saw the yacht, I didn’t realize it was you. No one got hurt, right?”
“No, no.”
Chu Yian shook her head. “Are you guys okay?”
“We’re alright.”
Jie Yan was drenched, his face pale in the strong wind, looking so fragile he seemed like he might drop dead any second.
He didn’t look very good.
Zhang Yunwu, who had been ready to come up as a fighter, was even worse.
He looked at the other two people standing on the deck. Even with Chu Yian wearing a mask, he recognized her instantly. “Big Chu?!”
So, they were fighting their own people?!
“There should still be brothers on the fishing boat, right? How about we pick everyone up first?”
Chu Yian looked at Zhang Yunwu, whose back teeth were chattering, then suggested. Of course, the cockpit area, including the living room, kitchen, and master bedroom, couldn’t be entered by them; that was her and Lu Qingyuan’s space.
But there was also a small second floor on the yacht.
It was about the size of a regular bedroom upstairs, and with a simple cleaning, it would be perfectly habitable.
“Because everyone is infected with the flu, for safety reasons, we can only ask you to stay in this small room.”
Chu Yian even made them some ginger soup and prepared hot water. “Teacher Lu said that at our current speed, we should reach the shelter in about one or two days.”
Five grown men were squeezed into a small room.
You Che’s clothes were still wet, but the ginger soup he held was surprisingly hot. He eagerly took a sip; the warm ginger soup went down, but his eyes were filled with bewilderment.
He thought Big Chu was living a miserable life, but he never expected Big Chu to be on a yacht.
The turn of events felt even more absurd than a TV drama. If it weren’t for Liu Wen’s shoulder injury, he wouldn’t even be sure if they had just engaged in a fierce battle.
On the other side,
Downstairs, Chu Yian was frantically disinfecting the main door and their supplies left outside with alcohol.
Food wasn’t as important; the weapons were the most crucial.
Chu Yian accepted them because they were teammates.
However, Bai Sinian’s lesson taught her to always do things with a bit of reserve and keep a card up her sleeve. Saving people was fine, but all weapons had to be hers, and everything had to follow her arrangements.
