Chapter 1273 Falling From the Sky! (3/4)
Chapter 1273 Falling from the sky! (34)
"It's almost there."
The cruise ship in the distance was approaching. Abraham put down the binoculars in his hand, and a tinge of excitement gradually ignited in his heart.
After nearly half an hour of chasing, this cat-and-mouse game finally came to an end. Although it was a little later than the expected time, it was not too late. This kind of cruise ship designed for the pursuit of pleasure could not outrun the "Oseberg" under their feet anyway.
Throwing the binoculars into the hands of his deputy, Abraham removed the AK from his body, and pulled the bolt with a click.
"Bros."
"Our enemy is at hand."
"For the honor of the tribe, for the endless wealth, for..."
Eyes narrowed into a slit, facing the dazzling sunlight, Abraham always felt that he saw something, but he couldn't see clearly.
Finally, in the elongated light, he faintly saw three groups of burning flames.
"……what is that?"
Not only did he see it, another young man standing on the deck followed his line of sight and also saw the anomaly hidden in the sunlight.
However, when they caught a glimpse of the flame, it was too late.
Everyone didn't react.
The fire of punishment that fell from the sky did not give them any time to react.
Accompanied by a loud bang in the sky, a huge tremor came down the deck, almost knocking everyone to the ground.
The entire freighter seemed to be hit by something, and the entire hull tilted to one side.
At the same time, after the explosive sound from the rising sky, billowing thick smoke finally descended from the sky, covering a large area of sea like fog, engulfing the entire cargo ship.
The people on the boat coughed and tried to get up from the ground with difficulty, but the pungent thick smoke made them flow out tears and snot together, and their hearing and vision fell into chaos.
Abraham curled up on the ground, his eyes widened in horror. He saw a group of soldiers wearing jet-black exoskeletons emerge from the prism-shaped metal box, the guns in their hands sprayed clean sparks, and in just a short breath, most of his men were killed.
Except for a few sporadic AK gunshots, the vast majority of people fell into a pool of blood without even a chance to resist.
"monster……"
It was as if a branding iron had been inserted into his throat, and Abraham squeezed out such a sentence in his dry and hoarse voice.
Apart from monsters, he couldn't think of a suitable word to describe these magical soldiers that fell from the sky.
For them, the pungent dense fog seemed to not exist.
The emotion of fear had already destroyed his psychological defense, he threw the weapon in his hand far away, put his hands on the railing, and blended into the hostages who were tied to the railing.
It seemed that they didn't regard him as a threat, as if the mechanized soldiers didn't see him, they only punished those militants who were still holding weapons with death.
However, this did not bring him any more sense of security.
Under the invasion of that huge sense of fear, he finally broke his heart, resisted the burning sensation that burned the nasal mucosa and eyeballs, opened his eyes wide and touched the life jacket at hand, untied the rope and put it on body, and then jumped into the sea.
The gunshots faded away.
The thick fog and the smell of blood were finally blown away by the sea breeze.
Sporadic flickering fires could still be seen on the deck, as well as the screams of his former comrades-in-arms. But this didn't make the humble sense of morality in his heart feel guilty. He waved his arms with all his strength, just to get a little further away from the ship.
There is no doubt that the operation has failed...
...
Arctic Lights cruise ship.
The lowest cabin.
Generally, the staff on the cruise ship are active here, and ordinary passengers are not allowed to enter here. However, the situation this time was a bit special. Most people, including the cruise ship staff, ran to the restaurant to take refuge, or ran around on the first and second floors.
Therefore, the motives of those who are still staying in this area at this time are worth pondering.
Wang Peng didn't think about so many things, and went straight to the hiding place of the group according to the map on his mobile phone. After confirming that they had weapons in their hands, he no longer considered harming innocent things.
When the last target fell in a pool of blood, the gunfire finally stopped.
Looking at the last person who committed suicide by drinking a bullet, Wang Peng frowned, looked around cautiously, and after confirming that there was no trap, he crossed the pool of blood and walked to the side of that person.
Kicking the weapon in the man's hand aside, Wang Peng squatted down and pressed his index finger on his neck. After confirming that there was no sign of life, he groped his body with his gloved left hand.
Unopened tissues?
Keep it for now, maybe there is any valuable information.
makeup mirror?
Why do men wear such things?
At this moment, the left hand that was groping suddenly touched a certain hard object, Wang Peng's heart moved slightly, and he took the object out of the man's arms.
It was a blood-stained notebook that looked a bit like a mission briefing or something.
However, when he opened the notebook, Wang Peng froze there.
This thing isn't a mission briefing at all.
and……
Similar English, he seems to have seen it somewhere...
...
Cabin B2771.
Beside the porthole.
The little girl lying on the side of the porthole desperately pressed her toes against the glass, wishing she could stick her nose into the glass.
"Amazing……"
Excited colors flickered in the pupils, watching the flames falling from the sky hit the "pirate ship", Princess Lilian couldn't help applauding excitedly.
From her perspective, the scene she saw was completely different from what Abraham saw.
As far as she could see, she only saw one flame falling from the sky—well, maybe it was actually three, but because the speed was so fast, her memory was a little fuzzy.
In short, when the "pirate ship" was hit by the flames falling from the sky, it, together with the thick fog, was left far behind by them until it was out of sight.
And the cruel purgatory in the flames was also swallowed up by the billowing thick fog.
She had never seen such a magic trick before!
No, this is no longer the category of magic, it is simply the kind of magic in fairy tales!
Excitedly clapping her hands, Lilian saw Lu Zhou standing beside her, and pulled his sleeve vigorously with one hand, speaking incoherently with excitement.
"Amazing! What is that? Magic?"
Squinting his eyes and looking at the cargo ship going away, Lu Zhou said with a faint smile.
"That's right."
In a sense, science beyond common sense is not much different from magic.
There was a fairy-tale light in the emerald-like pupils, and the little girl looked at Lu Zhou who was several heads taller than him with wide eyes, and said expectantly.
"Oh, respected Mr. Scholar, it seems that you saved me..."
"...So, are you my prince?"
Lu Zhou, who was looking calmly at the burning flames outside the porthole, almost didn't choke on these two precocious speeches.
Coughing twice violently, Lu Zhou raised his sleeve and wiped the corner of his mouth, trying not to look so embarrassed, and then said in a patient tone.
"His Royal Highness, I'm afraid I have misunderstood someone. I'm probably old enough to be your court mage."
"The dried tofu kind?"
She should be talking about Gandalf, right?
Or the magician who appeared in a fairy tale book that is very popular in Sweden.
"Almost... In short, it's better for you to find someone your age to say similar things."
Hearing Lu Zhou's words, Lilian didn't look too disappointed, but just sighed old-fashionedly.
"They are all too boring. They only spend a lot of energy on boring things, and they don't even want to settle down to finish reading a book... Forget it, you are also a heartless man."
Lu Zhou: "..."
Although he knew that this little guy was mostly just playing tricks on his own, but for some reason, he suddenly felt that the tone of his speech was really a bit embarrassing.
If his children...
Well, for some reason, he suddenly wanted a daughter a little bit.
At this moment, footsteps came from outside the door.
Having seen who was outside from the surveillance, Lu Zhou looked in the direction of the door and snapped his fingers, signaling Xiao Ai to release the electronic lock on the door.
The door is pushed inward.
Seeing Wang Peng appearing at the door, Lu Zhou left the porthole and asked.
"already solved?"
Wang Peng nodded, and said a cruel thing in a casual and ordinary tone.
"A total of eight, I killed seven."
Lu Zhou: "Is there another one?"
"Suicide."
"suicide?"
Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly, and an unexpected expression appeared on his face.
Suicide is not something that pirates can do.
Generally speaking, there are only two situations in which a person may choose to end his life. One is for total loss of hope of life, and the other is for loyalty, faith, or something like that.
The former is obviously not the case.
Soldiers from civilized countries rarely continue to attack surrenderers.
In this way, it is only possible for the latter.
Reading something from Lu Zhou's eyes, Wang Peng hesitated, but after thinking about it, he still spoke.
"I found something, or clues, on the body of the deceased...Actually, I shouldn't have told you this. Let us handle the dirty work. But I think it might interest you."
The curiosity in his eyes became stronger, and Lu Zhou immediately asked, "What did you find?"
He took out a plastic bag from his pocket, which contained a bloody palm-sized notebook.
Looking at Lu Zhou with doubts in his eyes, Wang Peng continued.
"Maybe it's just a coincidence..."
"But you may have a little impression of the content in this notebook."
