Chapter 196: That shot, truly cool!

The deep blue sea surface was boundless.

After searching, Andrew soon discovered that fishing boat directly behind the oil tanker.

During these years working for the Blackwater Company, Andrew had always been living in comfort, but regardless, he was a former professional special forces soldier, and the combat awareness he had cultivated while serving in the Marine Corps still remained.

After discovering the target, he did not lower his guard and immediately searched the entire boat thoroughly!

There was no one in the wheelhouse.

Many messy footprints and dried bloodstains remained on the deck.

Many bullet holes could be clearly seen on several iron drums all around.

Most surprisingly, one of the masts behind the anchor winch had actually snapped.

Unsurprisingly, a fierce battle had likely occurred on this boat, resulting in significant casualties.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Andrew couldn't help but mutter, "My God, what happened here..."

Seeing that there was no one on the boat, he relaxed his vigilance somewhat, not realizing that real danger had already arrived!

The next second, while he was stunned, the reflection from a scope on the fishing boat suddenly caught his attention!

A sniper?!

Seeing this, he was just about to dodge, but it was already too late.

In an instant, a. 338 Lapua Magnum bullet knocked his muzzle off-target!

"Bang! Hum!"

The sound of the shell casing colliding with the gun barrel gave him immediate, temporary tinnitus.

The vibrating gun body made his web of his hand go numb, almost causing him to drop it!

But he couldn't care about that right now.

To save his life, he pulled his head back into the container next to him, panting heavily with lingering fear!

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

After three or five seconds, the sounds from the outside gradually became clear!

But Andrew's heartbeat still hadn't stopped!

He never dreamed that there would actually be a sniper on that boat!

And it was a master skilled at using a high-precision long-range sniper rifle to perform rapid counter-fire!

Just now, if the other party hadn't shown mercy, he might have been headshot long ago!

Unsurprisingly, that guy must have discovered his position long ago, and that shot was a warning to him!

At this moment, the barrage in the live broadcast room once again overwhelmed the screen!

【Holy crap, was that shot fired by God Chu?】

【Young man, nice marksmanship!】

【That shot could have been a golden headshot, what a pity!】

【God Chu just wanted to give him a warning! Otherwise, he would have been headshot long ago!】

【After all, this is a Simulated Crime, not a real crime. Unless God Chu's own safety is threatened, he won't hurt anyone!】

【A character like him isn't even qualified to die at God Chu's hands...】

【That shot was truly cool!】

【Brothers, that was indeed cool! It scared the living daylights out of this white pig!】

After a massive wave of barrage, the real-time popularity of the live broadcast room once again broke through 2 billion and was still climbing.

The growth rate was simply incomprehensible!

The audience was right; that shot had indeed scared Andrew out of his wits!

At this very moment, he felt a lingering fear in his heart.

The surge of adrenaline made his whole body tremble.

The next second, after calming his emotions slightly, he panted and picked up the walkie-talkie, reporting this situation to Thompson, who was in the lounge, at the first opportunity.

"BOSS! BOSS! Please reply if you receive this, please reply if you receive this!"

He called out several times in a row.

Before long, Thompson's voice came through the walkie-talkie: "What's the situation, Andrew?"

Hearing Thompson's response, Andrew said, "There is a sniper on that fishing boat!"

"What? A sniper?"

"That's right!"

When he heard the word "sniper" from Andrew's mouth, Thompson, who had been puffing on a cigarette, immediately frowned and asked, "How many people are there in total? Have you figured out their background?"

"Not clear, but they shouldn't be ordinary pirates. I estimate they are coming for us..."

Andrew had wanted to say that before he could even figure it out, he had been countered by the other party.

But in the end, he didn't say it.

Immediately after, Thompson asked again:

"How are you now? Are you injured?"

Hearing this, Andrew replied, "No, but my position has been exposed!"

Hearing Andrew's tone, Thompson vaguely realized the seriousness of the matter and stood up directly, saying, "Maintain vigilance, reinforcements will arrive immediately!"

After speaking, Thompson stopped paying attention to him and directly issued an operational order to his troops:

"Attention everyone! Attention everyone!"

"Just now, someone opened fire on our ship!"

"I now announce that the entire ship is to enter Level One combat readiness immediately! All combat personnel are to assemble on the deck at once and act according to the Diyi Yingji Language!"

Leaving the lounge, Thompson said as he walked,

"First Action Squad and Second Action Squad, provide suppressive fire on the fishing boat. All other units are to secure favorable attack positions first. The enemy has a sniper; no one is to show their head without my order! Do you all understand?"

"First Action Squad received!"

"Second Action Squad received!"

"Third Action Squad received!"

"......"

At Thompson's command, all the mercenaries deployed.

A full hundred people!

Following his orders, the First Action Squad and Second Squad arrived at their designated positions and immediately unleashed a wave of indiscriminate fire upon the fishing boat where Chu Chen was!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

"Thump, thump, thump!"

Dense swarms of bullets tore through the air, emitting bursts of whistling sounds, and finally rained down upon the fishing boat like a deluge!

It sounded like a downpour, pitter-pattering away.

In an instant, the cabin, deck, iron barrels, and mast were riddled with bullet holes!

But there was no sign of Chu Chen!

Soon.

After a round of indiscriminate shooting, Thompson, fully armed, also arrived inside the Driving room!

After he arrived, Abad immediately stepped forward and asked, "Thompson, what happened?"

"Someone opened fire on us. I have already issued a Level One combat readiness order. For safety, I am taking command of this ship now."

Hearing this, Abad, the bald first mate, and the group of sailors were all stunned where they stood!

Someone opened fire?

How could this be possible?

"Could there be a mistake?" It was evident that Abad still seemed somewhat unwilling to accept this fact.

One had to know, Hendry Shipping Company was no ordinary company.

It was the favored child of the Saudi royal family!

In these waters, who would be so blind as to go against them?

"My men told me personally that someone fired a shot at them."

"But..."

Abad wanted to ask more, but was stopped by Thompson:

"There are no 'buts'! Now is not the time to dwell on these things. Captain, hurry up and increase the ship's speed! Fast!"
