Chapter 184: Viking Descendants

After knocking that guy unconscious, Liu Xiaotian tore off his outer clothing, tightly bound him, gagged him, and then moved toward the next target.

After using similar methods to take out the four Owl subordinates who were resting in rotation, Liu Xiaotian took a deep breath and once again drew the military sword at his waist, still stained with blood that had not fully dried.

Because he knew, the real match had only just begun.

"Jiaweis"'s most notable upgrade after becoming a "first‑class special forces" soldier was that, with the electronic scanner activated, he could not only lock onto all enemies within a 300‑meter radius but also simultaneously display the opponent's strength level.

What Liu Xiaotian never expected was that among the Owl's subordinates there would be someone rated as Level 2 by "Jiaweis".

Moreover, compared to the three Level 2 individuals at Warrior School that night, this person was even stronger.

The remaining eleven were also absolutely skilled.

At the very least, pulling any one of them out could easily beat He Chen Guang, Wang Yanbing, or Li Erniu.

Under Liu Xiaotian's leadership, the four quickly located the tool cabin where He Chen Guang and the others were imprisoned.

At one, one look `nothing, one mistaken version%!'

Now that Chen Shanming and the others were present, Liu Xiaotian decided to first figure out how to rescue He Chen Guang and the three others, then deal with the Owl and that CVX2 poison gas bomb.

Inside, the three guys responsible for guarding were chatting.

Liu Xiaotian informed Chen Shanming and the others of his position via the communicator; after they met, he also told them where He Chen Guang and the four were being held.

Just as he was studying, according to Jiaweis's hint, how to silently eliminate the remaining ten Owl subordinates one by one without alerting the Owl, Chen Shanming, Gong Jian, and Li Erniu also arrived at the lowest deck cabin.

But their mouths had already been gagged, so they could not make a sound.

One CVX2, six hostages—obviously all top‑tier military personnel—he simply did not believe the commander in charge of this incident for this Eastern nation would dare to abandon six elite soldiers while risking the destruction of the 'Wensen'! That is precisely why the Owl, knowing there were certainly other Eastern special forces on board, still let his men take turns resting.

Obviously, they were the strongest soldiers of this nation's army, namely the special forces they spoke of.

Hearing his words, the younger twin, Magenuosong, turned his head with a look of disdain at the awakened He Chen Guang and the others, whose bodies were tightly bound and unable to move an inch, and said with a smile: 'Just them? These Eastern soldiers? Zabuka, I think you're already old.'

He Chen Guang and Wang Yanbing could not understand their bird‑like speech, but they could see the contempt in Magenuosong's eyes, which made them feel a surge of anger.

"Gongnasong, Magenuosong, do you think we can still make it back alive this time?"

Zabuka, the scar‑faced man, gave a sinister smile: 'What do you mean? Haven't you heard that this ancient Eastern land is the nightmare of all mercenaries?'

But look at them—they haven't even had a chance to fight us and are already tied up here.

The reason they haven't been killed is that the Owl also doesn't want to die here.

After all, they make their living licking blood off the blade; they've been doing it for who knows how long, so how could these 'new‑rank' special forces possibly handle them? Besides, each of them was once a strong soldier in the army—who could still think their combat power is something like free phone‑bill credit or points‑redeemed rewards?

Altogether three people were guarding them, and the weapons in their hands were already loaded.

After learning that four people had been captured, the Owl laughed arrogantly in front of Tang Xinyi; otherwise he would not have agreed to let Tang Xinyi send back a photo of the CVX2 poison gas bomb.

"Training Instructor, your doubts—once we get back I'll explain them to you; for now, completing the mission is most important, what do you think?"

Hearing his words, the two looked at each other; the elder brother, Gongnasong, slowly shook his head with a gloomy face.

Liu Xiaotian had said that much; Gong Jian naturally could not say anything else.

If Liu Xiaotian did not have the system's assistance, he probably could not have dealt so easily with those four resting subordinates, and might even have been dealt with by them.

Facing Gong Jian's growing skepticism, Liu Xiaotian could only force a smile and whisper to him:

With such soldiers, how strong could this nation's army be? Moreover, the boss has that CVX2 in hand—rest assured, those helicopters and ships out there dare not touch us!

But that glance would occasionally flick toward Liu Xiaotian, and it was genuine.

By now, He Chen Guang and the three others had gradually awakened.

Although he had the CVX2 poison gas bomb as a 'chip,' it was not exactly 'abundant'; moreover, he already knew that the commander of this Eastern nation's army would certainly send people aboard.

Yet he never imagined that among these Eastern special forces he had originally looked down on, there would be someone like Liu Xiaotian—an 'aberration'.

"Zabuka, what do you mean by asking that?"

Liu Xiaotian also knew that, relying on himself alone, it would be impossible to silently take out the Owl's ten subordinates.

Without harsh military training, it is absolutely impossible to cultivate such a bunch of guys!

The two individuals he named were indeed descendants of the Vikings, and moreover, they were a pair of twins.

Originally, his hostages were only Tang Xinyi and Qin Yuxi; to increase the weight of the 'chip,' he deliberately removed the deck's defenses and placed an ether‑sensing gas diffuser on the second‑level cabin, then concentrated most of his men in the lowest cabin—doing so in order to wait for a 'hostage' to be delivered to his door.

A blond, muscular man with a scar running almost from his temple to his chin said in a deep voice to the two men who looked almost identical, both possessing all the Viking traits:

Xu Tianlong and Song Kaifei completely understood; the anger in their hearts surpassed that of He Chen Guang and Wang Yanbing, yet they had no way to act.

All of their weapons had been confiscated; even Wang Yanbing's fingernail‑size knife hidden inside her sleeve cuff could not be retained.

Obviously, facing these veteran special forces whose service far exceeded theirs, it was unrealistic for them to hope to hide something that could turn the tide at a critical moment.

Meanwhile, in the tool cabin, none of the seven people noticed that, as they were speaking, a figure had silently arrived outside the hatch, pressing an ear to the door to listen to the movements inside……
