Chapter 4 Fierce Battle
"If the pirates come aboard, they'll most likely take control of the cockpit. Boss, you should go hide in the captain's cabin."
"The two of us are responsible for drawing enemy fire."
After arranging a hiding place for Su Xuan, the player Eggplant led Bee Doctor to guard the entrance to the passage.
The captain's bedroom is right across from the bridge, very close for emergency response, and also serves as the captain's office.
Su Xuan entered the bedroom and began rummaging through drawers and cabinets. He found a safe under an iron cabinet against the wall, and then found the safe key in the desk drawer.
He easily opened the safe with the key.
"Oh~"
Upon opening the safe, I discovered three gold bars. I couldn't wait to hold them in my hands and feel their weight; each gold bar weighed five hundred grams.
The price of gold has now broken through the thousand yuan mark per gram. Su Xuan is able to bring real gold and silver into the real world. He can turn around, go back to a gold shop, sell it, and make a fortune.
Su Xuan had no psychological burden and ransacked the entire safe, also taking $20, a Smith M10 revolver, and a silver Desert Eagle.
Since the pirates will just loot anyway, we might as well let them loot.
Su Xuan opened his backpack, looked at the piles of US dollars and gold, and fell into a blissful moment unique to hoarders.
"Even if this escort mission fails, it's still profitable."
Su Xuan did the math and said that the shipowner and cargo owner spent $10 to hire him for escort, and Su Xuan has now doubled that amount back.
After Su Xue finished looting everything, he picked up his A7, curled up, and hid under the desk.
Tap tap bang—
Just as Su Xuan had taken cover, the sound of intense gunfire erupted outside the iron gate.
Players Eggplant and Bee Doctor guard the entrance and engage in firefights with the approaching pirates.
The staircase entrance is extremely small, allowing only one person to pass at a time, making it possible for one player to take on ten opponents.
The elevator made a clicking sound as it moved.
The pirates' dense gunfire erupted upwards from the entrance to the stairwell.
The player Eggplant, who was guarding the entrance to the corridor, quickly retreated, ran and jumped over the Bee Doctor who was lying in the corridor, and stepped onto the stairs leading to the rooftop.
The elevator doors opened, and two pirates immediately opened fire with their gun barrels sticking out.
The bee doctor, lying prone in the aisle with his gun at the ready, let the bullets fly over his head.
Just when the pirates thought there was no danger, two more pirates rushed up at the entrance of the corridor.
The patiently waiting bee doctor player quickly pulled the trigger, banging and killing two pirates coming up from the corridor. The two pirates inside the elevator were trapped in the confined space like turtles in a jar. With two more bangs, the bee doctor calmly pulled the trigger again, killing the two pirates.
"They're not mercenaries, they're clearly Delta Force."
The pirates, their morale shattered, retreated back from the stairwell entrance and launched a night raid. They failed to kill any of the players, and suffered over half their casualties.
The passageway was too narrow, so players set up their guns in advance, making it an impregnable fortress.
The pirates stood in the corridor, their bodies pressed tightly against the walls, groping their way forward little by little.
As a pirate approached the entrance, he lay prone with his head on the ground and stretched his hand behind him. His companion handed him a wooden-handled grenade.
Pull the pin on the grenade, throw it, and the grenade, with blue smoke rising from its tail, rolls several times in the passageway.
"Damn it!"
The bee doctor looked at the wooden-handled grenade his grandfather used to use, then sprang up and climbed the stairs leading to the rooftop.
boom!
The grenade exploded in the narrow passageway, the shockwave intensifying, and the pirates all ducked to defend themselves.
Su Xuan, who was hiding in a nearby room, was startled. He could feel the vibrations of the grenade detonating in the narrow space, even through the air.
"We can't hold this position anymore."
The bee doctor climbed onto the rooftop to meet up with the player Eggplant.
"You support the people below from above, I'll go down and hold the line."
Player Eggplant instructed his teammates to take up their guns and go down again, leaning against the stairs with the muzzle of his gun aimed at the entrance to the passageway.
Rat-a-tat-tat, two gun barrels emerged from the entrance of the passageway, spewing flames.
The pirates no longer dare to engage in gunfights with the players; wherever there is danger, they will first stick their guns out and fire a burst.
Faced with a barrage of bullets, player Eggplant quickly pulled his foot back and climbed back onto the rooftop.
"I almost got my pedicure done."
Eggplant said with lingering fear, "It seems it's not suitable to guard down there anymore. We can only guard the entrance from the rooftop."
The pirate pedicurist's skills were a bit lacking; he didn't manage to get the job done.
Hopefully, the eggplant won't overturn.
[The continuous battle with the pirates for a whole day and night was so exciting to watch; the screen recording could easily be watched like a feature film.]
Player Eggplant kept the stream running, and viewers experienced the entire battle from Eggplant's perspective.
Eggplant sat at the computer, breathing evenly, but sweat beaded on his forehead. Today's game did not involve any interaction with the audience; it was as if his consciousness had truly entered the character he was controlling, personally experiencing a battle.
……
on the deck.
The remaining players continued to engage the pirates in firefights, which were particularly intense here.
Both sides used machine gun fire.
"After the update to the open world, the AI is so intelligent that it can dodge and fight at the same time."
"Well, in this open world, we don't have the same limitations as before, so of course our opponents are more difficult to deal with."
"That's more interesting. What's fun about playing against bots on the battlefield?"
Faced with the relentless firepower of dozens of pirates, some of the eight players complained bitterly, while others were full of enthusiasm.
After a prolonged battle, the pirates gained experience facing the players and began to crouch down, sticking their guns out to fire.
The pirates know the player's marksmanship; they can shoot you off even if you only show a toe.
Players felt that the pirates were becoming increasingly difficult to defeat, unlike before when they would foolishly charge in.
"Could it be that with the rapid development of AI, humans and machines are starting to have memories? They've learned from their mistakes and are now learning automatically."
"Fortunately, the system didn't give the AI a lock-on shooting technique."
Players engage in combat with pirates while communicating via radio, treating it entirely as a game.
boom--
Eggplant stands on the rooftop and uses an AK to fire at the pirates below.
From the rooftop, the pirates' hiding place and backs were clearly visible. This firing caused a commotion among the pirates and intensified their actions inside the bridge tower, leading to further occupation.
With support from the rooftop, the players on the deck advanced further.
……
Captain's office.
For Su Xuan, who was hiding under the desk with his gun, this battle was an ordeal.
The occasional gunshots and the sound of pirates' footsteps on the ground were stimulating his nerves.
When the pirates took over the cockpit, their conversation reached his ears clearly, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave and his blood had frozen.
They were too close; they were practically shoulder to shoulder with death.
Boom!
A pirate banged on the door next to the cockpit with the butt of his gun, further provoking Su Xuan.
"Brothers, the pirates are knocking on my door."
Su Xuan radios the players.
Su Xuan had locked the office door. If the pirates found it locked, they would assume someone was inside and force their way in.
Su Xuan's physical abilities are those of an ordinary person; his only skill, marksmanship, was honed through playing video games.
"Boss, let me show you how to make a sound."
Eggplant was also playing the Dragon character. He took a C4 from his body, walked down the stairs, and threw it into the corridor.
drop by drop...
The countdown to the C4 explosion started slowly and then accelerated.
"bomb!"
The pirate who fired C4 shouted, and the pirates in the aisle turned and swarmed into the cockpit.
Boom!
The explosive power of C4 was much greater than that of the previous grenade. The shock wave generated by the explosion dented the surrounding metal walls in the narrow passageway.
The slower pirate, with internal organs damaged and blood flowing from his seven orifices, lay motionless on the ground.
