Chapter 242: This Is What It Means to Be the Strongest Single Soldier

Liu Xiaotian, who had witnessed the whole process, didn't even blink; he gripped the still-blood-dripping fire axe and wiped it on the corpse of the pirate he had nearly split in half like a watermelon, lying dead on the ground, his back to Li Erniu, and said in a low voice:

"Erniu, control your emotions; absolutely do not act impulsively, otherwise everyone will be in great danger."

In Liu Xiaotian's view, Hu Sha couldn't possibly be that simple.

Even if he took an unconventional approach, cutting a 'door' in the hull and successfully boarding, could Hu Sha really have no precautions at all?

For a pirate chief who has long operated in these waters, with his brain tucked in his waistband 'doing business,' isn't this also somewhat undeserving of his reputation?

Perhaps Hu Sha's combat ability isn't impressive, but when it comes to wit, he is definitely a tough opponent.

Liu Xiaotian was quite certain of this.

Under Hu Sha's orders, over a dozen pirates entered the cabin to search.

In one, one look `none, one mistaken version%!

Just as Liu Xiaotian was about to comfort Li Erniu with a few words, he never expected that Li Erniu seemed to completely ignore the scene before him, stepping over the corpses of two pirates on the ground, leaving a trail of bloody footprints, and walked forward.

I don't know what this guy is thinking; in such a situation, even though we are few, two people must act simultaneously to maximize safety.

With a crisp 'crack,' that pirate fell asleep forever.

Especially when he encountered Liu Xiaotian, whose heart was filled with malice at that moment.

Whether his nasal bone broke or not aside, this guy didn't even utter a sound before collapsing straight to the ground.

One, he feared failure; two, he feared that even after killing Hu Sha, he still wouldn't be able to take the boss's position.

Besides intuitive judgment, after all, Liu Xiaotian still understands part of this world's 'plot,' right?

Having not gone far, the cautious Liu Xiaotian walking ahead once again spotted the target.

After a moment, Han Si climbed up from the ground, lowered his head and stood again before Hu Sha, not daring to wipe the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth:

But still, no one dared to harbor even the slightest thought of resistance.

But Han Si was truly wronged.

Among their subordinates, especially among those like him who could be considered a leader, it's not that no one had entertained the idea of replacing Hu Sha.

If the rescue mission were not being carried out by the trainees of Warrior School led by Liu Xiaotian, but by soldiers of any nation, whether regular or special forces, these over a dozen people would at least have a few lucky enough to survive.

He gritted his teeth silently; no matter what, he must not let this happen!

"Boss, I'll personally lead a team to search the cabin right now!"

Liu Xiaotian now is steadily advancing toward becoming a qualified special forces soldier, and he is already very close.

It can be said that Hu Sha's sharpest trait lies precisely here.

As long as these people cannot sincerely join forces against him, his position as boss will remain forever secure.

Perhaps it was because his movements were truly too fast, so that the pirate hadn't even had time to make a basic reaction before Liu Xiaotian's fist was already in front of his eyes.

And if measured against the system's requirements, he falls far short. Yet, no one has ever dared to act on it.

With a muffled 'bang,' Liu Xiaotian's fist slammed hard into that pirate's nasal bridge.

At this moment, Hu Sha in the control room was lashing out at his subordinates.

Liu Xiaotian knew that the only thing supporting Li Erniu now was Cui Fen.

If it's just one person, frankly speaking, that's just a corpse-delivering good-for-nothing.

With a sharp 'slap,' it sent Han Si, who had previously tossed the Chief Mate's 'altered blade' into the sea to feed sharks, flying over a meter away.

Faced with an opponent, anxious inside and wanting to save time, Liu Xiaotian didn't even think about waiting to strike a stun baton; he turned, shoved the fire axe into Li Erniu's hand, and leapt out.

At least, it also requires a lengthy recovery period.

The answer to him was Liu Xiaotian's two hands.

Behind him, Li Erniu caught up, first glancing at the pirate who had fainted, then looking at Liu Xiaotian, meaning to ask how to deal with this guy.

Unfortunately, Liu Xiaotian's order from the very beginning was to show no mercy.

Hu Sha's slap just now was because, when he asked Han Si whether those sent to search the cabin had found anything, Han Si said 'still unknown,' and Hu Sha instantly flared up.

Faced with his own hot-tempered, utterly unprincipled boss, Han Si also dared to be angry but not to speak.

Since the character Hu Sha has appeared, he certainly won't differ much from the Hu Sha in the 'plot.'

By calculation, this is still Li Erniu's first time striking to kill a target, and it was a close-range execution; for him, the psychological impact remains enormous.

If Cui Fen really meets with an accident in this operation, then Li Erniu, such a promising seedling, might also be utterly devastated.

Because they face, each one, a ruthless, vicious villain; any hesitation could very well cost them their own lives.

Besides active surrender, there is simply no such thing as a warning; it's straight to killing.

Kneeling, pressing on the unconscious pirate's chest, both hands gripping his head, arm muscles bulging suddenly……

But, the distance to his target is still far.

Liu Xiaotian told Li Erniu with concrete action that in such a mission, there must be absolutely no hesitation.

However, this time it was just one person.

Just like Han Si, his most trusted aide day-to-day, isn't it also said that he strikes when he says he will strike?

He precisely grasped those subordinates who truly had some ability, using tactics to keep them in a constant state of mutual suspicion.

After following Hu Sha's orders to toss the Chief Mate's 'altered blade' overboard, he continually led people to guard the ship's sides, never idling.

For such a huge cruise ship, aside from those guarding the hostages and the personnel Hu Sha diverted to search the cabin, he had fewer than twenty people left; to guard such a large perimeter of the hull, they practically wished each person could cover twenty to thirty meters.

At such a distance, to spot anyone climbing the hull at the first moment, one must keep eyes wide open; even urinating can only be done while standing at the rail and spraying into the sea, and the eyes must still patrol their assigned zone, leaving no time to attend to affairs inside the cabin.

Now it can be confirmed that someone has come to rescue these hostages.

Even Hu Sha's heart trembles, let alone his subordinates.
