She didn't waste any words, took her long legs, and turned to leave.

Bang!

The short man casually pulled away the female bodyguard who exerted all her strength, tossing her aside like trash.

The female bodyguard passed out on the spot, and the short man's hand once again reached for the gun at his waist.

At that moment, he suddenly jolted backward, losing the ease and comfort from earlier, his whole body tensed like an herbivore drinking water by the river.

He looked up.

On the third deck of the ferry, a long-haired woman was watching him, her black hair fluttering, slender figure seemingly ready to be carried away by the wind.

Player!

"Sweetie, retreat, the target is within the firing range, I'm ready to open fire." A leisurely voice of a woman pretending to be young came through the earpiece.

"There's at least one player on the ship, and 'The King of Black Fog' is in the water." The short man reported the situation while jumping into the sea.

"The King of Black Fog... his luck is too bad."

Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!

Intense gunfire erupted, the helicopter and the drone opened fire simultaneously, muzzle flashes flickering as bullets rushed toward the ferry.

The yellow bullet shells fell into the water, like a school of fish fighting for food.

With the reminder from Li Changzhou, the security personnel who had been well-prepared didn't suffer many casualties.

But if this continued, even if they weren't shot to death, they'd sink to the seafloor along with the ferry.

"Captain! The other side has stopped! They're out of our firing range!"

"Damn it!"

The vast ocean, nowhere to escape, are we really going to die here?

Yang Qinglan stood on the third-floor deck, watching the other side jump into the sea to escape, without giving chase.

Regarding the ferry's impending sinking, she didn't care, on the contrary, she was quite happy to see the ship being sunk.

On the helicopter, a woman in a vest trying to write "Our Visit Here" in Assyrian on the ferry's deck with the machine gun suddenly heard the tall man's voice.

"Witch, I failed, the submarine was protected by the King of Black Fog."

"Useless!" The woman in the vest—Witch—had her good mood shattered instantly.

"Cease fire." She stopped the machine gun.

The kid in the co-pilot also stopped the drone, then moved the mouse, the drones buzzed, dispersing to monitor the ferry like vultures staring at a dying person.

The east side of the ferry was riddled with bullet holes, but it didn't matter much.

"The helicopter doesn't have much fuel left, and the drone's power won't last long, we can't drag this out." The kid cut the screen, really started playing a game, it was Snake.

Soon, the red snake body became enormous, surrounding the entire game screen.

In a game, all the players, big and small, were encircled by the red snake.

"All waiting to die." The kid showed a bright smile.

At this moment, a voice came into the channel.

"Witch, we are held up at the port." Accompanied by fierce gunfire and screams.

"Useless!"

"Oh? So, you've succeeded on your side?"

"Of course not!" Witch said naturally, "Don't get tangled up, dragging the time only benefits the other side, come quickly."

"Wait a minute, the doctor saw a small boat like a shuttle (a jet ski), using it should help us shake the other side off."

Ending the communication, the kid used the drone to play a sound.

"Kill Jiutiao Meiji and we'll stop."

"Hand over Jiutiao Meiji's body, and we'll let you go."

On the ferry.

The female bodyguard Jing Liu had already woken up, surrounded by a group of security personnel along with Jiutiao Meiji.

Nobody wavered at the broadcast, as if they hadn't heard it.

"Young Miss, the sky is already blocked, we must leave by submarine quickly." Jing Liu said.

"Jing Liu is right," the security captain said, "Young Miss, please leave quickly, we'll pretend you are still on the ship to buy you time."

Jiutiao Meiji sat in the center of the U-shaped sofa, arms crossed, legs perched, face calm, her long black satin-like hair draped over her shoulders.

"Jing Liu." She suddenly spoke.

Everyone tensed their bodies, afraid to miss even a nasal sound.

"How was the skill of the person you fought against?" Jiutiao Meiji asked.

"Very strong. I consider myself quite capable, usually able to handle three grown men, and even with a dagger, could take on a dozen more, but I was no match for him at all." Jing Liu recalled the previous scene, still feeling apprehensive.

With one punch, she lost her ability to resist.

Is there really such a powerful human in the world? Which organization cultivated him?

"And did you know," Jiutiao Meiji lifted her head, "his leg was injured."

Her observational skills were very keen. The leg of the short man that Li Changzhou had extended only affected his landing motion slightly when jumping onto the deck, yet she noticed.

But she didn't notice the dent on the short man's abdominal armor, otherwise, Li Changzhou might have been eliminated by the system.

"What?" Jing Liu couldn't believe it, "But I didn't feel it at all."

"A Genetic Warrior?"

Jing Liu said nothing, knowing that, after all, Ms. Meiji was just a middle school student who occasionally read manga and played games.

"Shut up!" Jiutiao Meiji suddenly lifted her head, "Can't you guys fire a few shots to show the enemy your resolve and make them shut up?"

"Yes!" The security team leader hurriedly withdrew.

Soon, gunshots rang out outside, and indeed the drone's declarations ceased.

"Did you notify my mother?"

"...The signal was cut off; the other side seems to have interference equipment." Jing Liu licked her dry lips.

"So, I'm doomed, am I?" Jiutiao Meiji sneered.

"Submarine..."

"Since the other side wants to kill me, why cease fire? Isn't it giving me time, making me board the submarine and get caught in the trap?"

Jing Liu also couldn't understand why the other side had ceased fire; she couldn't think of any reason other than forcing the young lady to enter the submarine voluntarily.

Jiutiao Meiji stood up, "Gather everyone; I have something to say."

After the two left, Yang Qinglan and Chang'e came out of the bedroom.

"Chang'e, I'll find a way to make 'The Hamburger' accidentally fall into the water. You wait and pick her up underwater, pretending to be one of them, and take her away directly." Yang Qinglan said.

"It won't be that easy. Though the sea is vast, the other side has powerful technological strength. Thermal sensors alone can find us, not to mention 'The Hamburger' is just an ordinary person. Long exposure to water might make her sick from dehydration, or she might accidentally drown." Chang'e said.

The Queen Mother of the West left Primordial times and once captured a warship. Chang'e and others knew a bit about technology.

Unfortunately, they, like Li Changzhou and others, despite understanding technology, couldn't even construct the most basic exoskeletons.

"Wait for Turquoise Pool's group..."

The two suddenly flashed back into the bedroom.

Jiutiao Meiji and Jing Liu had returned.

"Miss Meiji, with your personal encouragement, those below will surely pledge their loyalty and fight till the last moment." Jing Liu casually closed the door.

"What's the use of fighting until the last moment? We should think of a way to survive." Jiutiao Meiji sat back on the U-shaped sofa.

Suddenly, she stopped completely.

Jing Liu remained motionless.

Jiutiao Meiji glanced around, then looked toward the bedroom, gently nodding her chin towards Jing Liu.

"You go out, I'll rest here for a while. By the way, keep trying to contact my mother, tell her the situation here, the enemy ceased fire, indicating they want to capture me alive. Since that's the case, we still have time."

As Jiutiao Meiji spoke, Jing Liu drew her gun, covering her footfalls with her voice, and slowly walked toward the bedroom.

Boom!

As she burst through the bedroom door, Jing Liu raised her gun muzzle.

The sea breeze gently stirred the white curtains, the bedroom was tidy, and the bed was neatly made.

Jing Liu checked the dressing room and bathroom.

"Miss Meiji, there's no one."

Jiutiao Meiji seemed indifferent, sneering, "There were two women, and there's a hint of seawater in the air. It seems the enemy stopped not just to make me board the submarine, but also to give the assassin time."

"Should we send people to search?"

"No need, just guard outside." Jiutiao Meiji said calmly and confidently, "If they don't kill me, I've won. Let's see how long they can stay afloat."

The enemy players were not refusing to kill her; they feared sinking the ship and Jiutiao Meiji being taken away by Yang Qinglan and the King of Black Fog.

Of course, they had thermal sensors, but as long as they dove deep enough, they could shake off the thermal detection.

Then find a random spot to surface for air, continue diving, the vast ocean, where could they find them?

So, the best plan was to keep Jiutiao Meiji on the ship, waiting for teammates to arrive, 'Transformation Master' to expand their technological forces and manpower so that even if Jiutiao Meiji enters the water, they would have enough manpower to pursue her immediately.
