Chapter 7 Holding firm and awaiting rescue
The female doctor examined the fallen player's injuries and discovered that the bullet had passed through one side of his ribs.
"I didn't expect the pirates to even bring Lao Gan Ma (a popular chili sauce)."
The player who had fallen to the ground was on the verge of death.
The players are seasoned veterans; they can clearly identify the caliber of any bullet that hits them and the type of firearm it comes from.
"You're lucky you didn't die from a single shot."
The female doctor took out a hormone injection and injected it into the player's body.
As long as the player has a breath left, the female doctor can save him.
"Hurry up and gather on the rooftop."
After the female doctor finished treating her teammate, she urged him on.
The rooftop is the only high point for the oil tanker, and only from there can it be better secured.
……
Cab.
Once the pirates' morale was high and they launched a proactive attack on the players, they guarded the entrance to the corridor and rushed up the stairs leading to the rooftop to unleash their firepower and prevent the players on the rooftop from providing reinforcements.
Players who climbed onto the bridge were caught in a dilemma, pursued by pirates from behind and ambushed from above.
Su Xuan, who had been waiting, crawled out from under the desk.
"Do you have any C4 left?"
Players whose initial assault was thwarted asked their teammates for help.
"It's gone. The new version of C4 can no longer be refreshed."
"Use the jets to go up the stairs one floor at a time."
"You have to go upstairs from the outside; there are hundreds of pirates below all aiming their guns at you."
"I'll try using fluorescence."
The players looked at each other, then quickly discussed a solution.
Su Xuan stood behind the iron door of the office. Judging from the gunshots, the pirates were at the door of the cockpit opposite. There should be two pirates crouching at the door, firing their guns at the entrance of the corridor from time to time.
Su Xuan pointed his gun at the iron gate and fired, the AK47 in his hand spitting out flames.
The bullet pierced the thin iron door and hit the pirate crouching at the entrance.
Bang!
Su Xuan kicked open the office's iron door, which was riddled with holes like a wasp's eye.
"Hurry up and get up here."
Su Xuan's sudden attack caught the pirates off guard. No one expected that there was someone hiding in the captain's office across the way.
bang bang-
The player stuck at the entrance of the corridor immediately rushed in and shot and killed the two pirates guarding the rooftop corridor.
"The boss is a jerk."
"The boss is amazing."
"Boss is awesome."
Players surged in one by one, pushing Su Xuan onto the rooftop.
The players were surprised that the boss would actually help out at such a crucial moment. In the past, when they were escorting the enemy, they would have the boss stay in the back while they cleared the map, and then call the boss out to loot the supplies later.
At this point, all the players had reached the rooftop.
"Leave seven on the rooftop, and three to guard the entrance to the stairwell below."
Player Eggplant assigned other players to guard the point.
Eggplant, a professional player, is highly respected among players, and no other player objects to what he says.
"Boss, you just squat or lie down in the middle of the rooftop, just don't go to the edge."
Eggplant made Su Xuan stand in the very center of the rooftop.
From the edge of the rooftop, the pirates below could still see people. Although the pirates' marksmanship was inaccurate, their random shooting was deadly when it hit someone, as it was entirely a matter of luck for that person to run into the bullet.
"Break up and get married already."
The bee doctor scavenged the AK rifles and magazines left on the pirate corpses in the cockpit and corridor.
"Luckily, we're using AKs too; other rifles wouldn't be able to use the bullets."
Other players were assigned the rifles and magazines that the medic had collected.
After a day and a night of fighting, the players had long since run out of bullets, and their machine guns were now just scrap metal. They had to pick up ammunition from the corpses of pirates along the way.
"You can have mine too."
Su Xuan carried nine magazines, keeping one for himself and giving the rest to the players.
Su Xuan's marksmanship is inaccurate, and he's under protection anyway, so it would be better to hand over the ammunition to the player and hold out a little longer.
He was able to kill two pirates earlier, and that was at close range.
"And this too."
Su Xuan once again pulled out the Smith revolver he had looted, and handed the Desert Eagle to Qiezi.
"Smith M10 revolver."
The bee doctor stared wide-eyed at the black and blue revolver that Su Xuan had pulled out.
"Boss, could you let me take a look?"
Before Su Xuan could answer, the bee doctor reached out and took the gun.
The bee doctor got the revolver and eagerly looked at the number on the muzzle.
"Military version, from World War II."
The gun, decades old and with a certain historical background, was being meticulously polished by the bee doctor, who kept wiping the dark blue revolver with great care.
"Boss, this gun is highly collectible."
The Smith M10 revolver is very common, with military and police models and those with clear historical backgrounds being highly sought after by enthusiasts.
Su Xuan didn't know much about guns, and he didn't expect that Bee Doctor would be so knowledgeable about them.
"Does this count as the boss making a profit?"
The other players gathered around, staring at the black and blue revolver in the Bee Doctor's hand.
"I don't know if it's popular or not, but I like this stuff."
As if afraid other players would steal it from him, Dr. Bee rubbed the revolver against his face, making the dark blue gun body even more oily and shiny.
"Give it back to the boss quickly, don't break the rules."
Other players, seeing that the Bee Doctor seemed intent on taking it for himself, issued a warning.
The boss paid someone to escort them, and all the supplies belonged to the boss. If the escort tried to loot the loot boxes and take anything from the boss, they would be breaking the rules and would be blacklisted.
"If you like it, I'll give it to you."
Seeing that the Bee Doctor loved it so much, Su Xuan generously gave it to him.
"Thank you, boss."
Dr. Bee put the Smith revolver in his backpack instead of tucking it into his waist holster; he wouldn't use a collectible as a gun.
"Look at you, you hide away anything good you get."
Every player in the game knows what a bee doctor looks like.
They might even have diamonds hidden in their crotch.
"Don't worry, boss. With me here, this escort mission will definitely be a success."
The bee doctor, having benefited greatly, was full of energy and was even thinking about looting the entire map after defeating the pirates.
"My goodness."
Eggplant stood on the edge of the rooftop, looking down at the scene below.
Pirate boats swarmed close to the cruise ship, and hundreds of people boarded the deck in droves.
bang bang bang-
Da da da—
Thump thump thump—
The pirates noticed the people standing on the edge of the rooftop and opened fire.
However, the position was too high and too tricky, and the bullets fired by the pirates didn't even graz the edge.
"Isolated and helpless, why can't we summon a vehicle?"
"There's no resurrection beacon either."
"Why didn't the system match us with bot teammates? Ten against 1000!"
The player looked down at the pirates closing in, and the development of events was completely beyond the player's expectations.
The open world places no restrictions on players; all cultivation and development are entirely up to the players themselves.
Bang bang bang! The player moved and fired from the edge of the rooftop, shooting from high to low. The deck was open and there were many pirates, making them easy targets.
The pirates below, driven to desperation, pulled out rocket launchers and fired at the bridge tower.
When facing a rocket launcher player, the player should duck back. Rockets have a wide kill radius, and while the pirate's marksmanship may be poor, he can compensate with the kill radius.
"Oh no, the repair costs are probably going to be quite high."
Su Xuan heard rockets exploding nearby. When the ship owner returned to inspect the ship, he saw the ship covered in gunfire marks and knew that the repair costs alone would be a fortune.
[Why are these pirates so heavily armed?]
Rockets were fired in volleys.
Hey, hurry up and thank the pirates for the rocket they sent you!
Eggplant, seeing the commotion in the comments, laughed helplessly, "Why don't you guys send me a couple of rockets? Even pirates send more rockets than you guys."
