C91 An Ingenious Counterattack
C91 An Ingenious Counterattack
With a single firm push, he slid swiftly across the floor of the cabin in an unbelievable manner.
Just as he was about to hit the wall, he rolled his body across the ground like a barrel and landed on one knee as he leaned his back against the wall of the cabin.
Having calmed himself down a little, Lin Fei now appeared like a tiger that had just woken up from its deep slumber. The gun in his hand instantly locked onto the head of the pirate on the stairs.
*Bang! Bang!*
At that moment, two bullets shot straight out of the barrel of the gun, aimed directly towards the pirate's forehead.
Now proficient with firearms, Lin Fei's marksmanship had already reached the level of a master, so much so that he seemed like a soldier from the special forces who had been training for years.
In the blink of an eye, the bullet pierced through the forehead of the pirate who had rushed down the stairs.
As the stairs dyed in crimson, he quickly flicked his gaze away from the scene before him as it was far too terrifying. Having never committed murder before, Lin Fei could not help but feel digusted and even nearly vomited upon witnessing a dead body.
However, at that moment, he could not care less about his own feelings. He hurriedly shouted to Xi Mengwei in the cockpit, "Mengwei! Come on! Crawl over to me!"
Xi Mengwei, who was initially struck by an instance of fright, suddenly woke up from her daze upon hearing Lin Fei's shout.
Although she usually had a bad temper, she had certainly never witnessed the scene of a brutal battle where gunshots were being fired in all directions.
"I'm coming!"
Xi Mengwei hurriedly nodded and quickly crawled over to Lin Fei's side.
Though shocked by the brutal scene before her, she nevertheless remained strong after recovering from Lin Fei's shout. She was not like the other girls who would only cry and stand petrified in the face of danger.
After taking a ninety-degree turn, the yacht quickly stabilized once again. And, after Xi Mengwei did something with the controls, the speed of the yacht became increasingly faster.
Although the speed of their yacht could not compare to that of the pirate's speedboat, it was still able to escape the predicament ever so slightly.
However, with the stabilization of the yacht, the pirates on the deck also reacted quickly and steadied themselves.
Figuring that their comrades must have encountered some sort of trouble in the cabin, they remained vigilant when approaching the stairs leading to the second level of the cabin.
As a series of messy footsteps trampled across the deck, the pirates would soon arrived at the entrance to the second level.
Even so, Lin Fei was not at all worried about them, for he had a gun in his hand. He would be more than capable of stopping them by himself.
If anyone of them dared to enter alone, he could easily shoot them down.
However, he was also worried that the pirates would throw grenades into the cabin on the second level. In that case, they would find themselves in a terrible predicament.
Fortunately, Xi Mengwei had already climbed to the cabin and rushed to his side.
"Hurry up and go to the third level! Meet up with Qing and Fei'er. Make sure to leave with everyone else on the last speedboat!"
"If I don't show up at the third floor by the time the last speedboat is ready to go, you don't need to wait for me!"
"After getting on the speedboat, turning all the settings to auto mode and tell everyone to lie down at the lowest position on the boat."
"Do you remember everything that I said just now?"
Lin Fei said as he touched Xi Mengwei on her face with his hand and stared at her.
"Yes."
Xi Mengwei nodded obediently in response.
"Alright! Then quickly head to the third level now!"
Hearing her confident reply, Lin Fei ordered Xi Mengwei as he turned his head and aimed fixedly at the stairs with his gun.
"But Brother Lin Fei, how are you going to escape?"
But instead of leaving immediately after hearing his order, Xi Mengwei grabbed onto Lin Fei's arm and cried out sadly.
Back in the cockpit, she did not shed a single tear even when she encountered such a dangerous, horrifying situation. But now, she could not stop crying. She was indeed a girl who valued friendship greatly.
"Hurry up and go! Don't ask so many questions! You must do as I say. Besides, I was only describing the worst case scenario."
"Don't worry, for I'll definitely make it down in time. But if you continue dawdling here, I'm afraid the two of us will die here tonight!"
Turning his head back around, Lin Fei exclaimed as he stared at Xi Mengwei with a fierce gaze.
Xi Mengwei was a smart person. She fully understood the truth in Lin Fei's words and knew that he was doing this for her own good.
No longer hesitating, she quickly kissed Lin Fei on his cheek before rushing down the stairs to the third level.
With that, Lin Fei also began making his move. Not wanting to just sit here and wait for his death, he decided to take the initiative to launch an attack of his own.
At this moment, there was still more a minute before the speedboat is ready to be lowered, so he could not afford to let those wicked pirates come down and get close to the third level where the speedboat was located.
If he allowed such a situation to happen, all of them would inevitably die.
In an instant, Lin Fei leaped up and dashed past the cockpit and the cabin door. He then scanned through his surroundings and recalled all the surveillance footage on the cockpit of the yacht.
Quickly analyzing the surveillance footage, Lin Fei instantly grasped the current situation of the pirates on the outer perimater and deck of the yacht.
At this time, the pirate speedboat parked on the other side of the escape boats had drifted slightly away from the yacht because of the sudden change in direction of the yacht, revealing a small gap between that provided them with a better chance of escape.
At the entrance of the stairs leading to the second level of the cabin on the deck, more than ten pirates squatted down with guns in their hands, seeming to be discussing something.
They were arranged in the formation of a ring, blocking the exit to the deck. It was obvious that they were devising some sort of plan to get down to the lower levels of the cabin.
Among the group of pirates, a few of them had pulled out grenades and were constantly weighing them in their hands. They really could throw them down at any time.
The only reason why they had yet to throw the grenades down were probably because they thought that their comrades were still down in the lower levels of the cabin. Otherwise, they most likely would've tossed them down without hesitation long ago.
As time ticked away, Lin Fei's entire back was slowly drenched in sweat.
"Zahar..."
"How's the situation down there? Hurry up and answer me."
At this moment, one of the pirates on the deck shouted.
However, there was no response at all from within the cabin.
"Harrel..."
"Polk..."
After a moment of silence, the pirates above began to shout out again.
But, of course, they would not receive a single response from below.
Lin Fei knew that the pirates were definitely trying to figure out if any of their comrades were waiting down in the lower levels. He was worried that once they confirmed that their comrades weren't there, they would immediately throw their grenades inside.
*Hwoosh! Hwoosh!*
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
However, at that moment, the sound of seawater splashing could be heard, followed by a series of gunshots from outside the cabin.
"Quickly, go after them!"
"We can't let them escape!"
Then, the pirates roared from the sea below the yacht!
Lin Fei instantly knew that the first speedboat had been lowered into the water.
On the other hand, the pirates were most likely shooting at the speedboat escaping below. Lin Fei had long anticipated this.
With a total of three speedboats down below, they needed to escape in the last speedboat.
At this point, the first two speedboats had already established their course of escape as they planned to go in different directions. The purpose of this plan was to confuse the pirates and force them to separate their forces at sea.
Lin Fei had come up with this exact plan just now. Only by doing so would they have the greatest chance of escaping.
However, the first speedboat escaping on sea meant that Lin Fei did not have much time left.
It was probably because of the sudden appearance of a speedboat below the yacht that a new situation had occurred. At that moment, even the pirates on the deck who were preparing to launch an attack on the second level had suddenly turned strangely silent.
Lin Fei knew very well that their silence meant that they would launch their most violent attack soon.
However, he would naturally not give them such an opportunity.
As soon as he heard the gunshots outside, Lin Fei advanced forward instead of retreating. While the pirates were distracted by the loud gunshots on the deck, he took advantage of the opportunity to sneak into the corner of the stairs.
From that position, he could look up at the sky outside the passage on the deck as he stood less than three meters away from the pirates on the deck.
*Clack!*
At that moment, Lin Fei heard the pin of a grenade being pulled.
In the next instant, he could hear it being tossed down below.
However, Lin Fei remained calm as he revealed a smirk on his face. After all, he had been waiting for this exact moment.
The instant the grenade left the pirate's hand, Lin Fei used the weak sunlight shining down from above to lock his aim onto the grenade.
*Click!*
He then pulled the trigger as the bullet shot out of the muzzle.
As the bullet whizzed out of the barrel...
It struck directly on the grenade just as it was about to fall onto the ground.
*Bang!*
The grenade was instantly sent back to the deck by the impact of the bullet, followed by a deafening explosion in the next second.
Without any hesitation, Lin Fei jumped back to the floor of the cabin just as the bullet shot out.
According to his calculations, the grenade would explode the moment it was sent back out to the deck.
Upon the explosion, the dozen or so pirates stationed above would definitely be injured by the impact of the grenade or the countless fragments that shot out in all directions.
And sure enough!
Just as the grenade exploded, the pirates let out screeches of agonizing pain on the deck.
Lin Fei could not afford to spare any more time to check on the surveillance cameras or observe the miserable state of the pirates on the deck.
However, he was fully confident that the pirates on the deck would not be able to organize a second attack in such a short period of time.
Lin Fei's risky gamble had turned into an ingenious counterattack that dealt a fatal blow to the pirates on the deck.
He certainly did not expect his plan to go so smoothly either.
From his perspective, this was the only chance that would allow him to escape with the three girls. After all, the pirates on the deck were now all injured and weak.
Such an opportunity was not at all easy to come by. Without wasting any more time, Lin Fei turned around and rushed towards the speedboats on the third level.
