“”People?” Lin Wan’s eyes flickered, “Is it the Los Angeles police?”
Lu Zheng blinked, “Big sister, those are two yachts. If they were here for the San Miguel shipwreck, they’d at least have brought a salvage vessel, right?”
Lin Wan’s face flushed with embarrassment. It was her first time doing something like this, and she wasn’t quite experienced yet.
At that thought, Lin Wan frowned, “Yachts, then we’d better get over there quickly. If they don’t find anyone on our yacht and report it, explaining things could get tricky.”
Lu Zheng nodded, then pulled an inflatable boat out of his gourd.
Lin Wan was speechless, “Just how many useful and useless things are in that gourd of yours? You even have an inflatable boat?”
Lu Zheng shrugged, “It came with the yacht rental. It was supposed to go on the yacht, but I thought it took up too much space, so I stored it in the gourd.”
Lu Zheng took Lin Wan onto the inflatable boat, started the engine, and it chugged along towards the yachts twelve kilometres away.
But as they got closer, both Lu Zheng and Lin Wan’s expressions changed.
“They’re holding weapons?” Lin Wan narrowed her eyes, staring at one of the yachts.
Lu Zheng nodded, “Clearly, they’re not tourists out for a pleasure cruise.”
At the same time, the people on the two yachts noticed them, and Lu Zheng spotted figures on their own yacht.
Lu Zheng pursed his lips, “They’ve actually boarded our yacht.”
Lin Wan didn’t respond, carefully observing the strangers, pondering who they might be and how to deal with them.
But she soon didn’t need to think, because as their inflatable boat entered a five-hundred-metre range of the three yachts, several people on the opposing ships raised their guns at them.
At the same time, Lin Wan’s sharp hearing picked up the conversation on the other yacht.
“Tch, tch, a poor little couple, just out for a trip at sea, and they’re about to lose their lives.”
“I’m not taking the risk of letting them go, whether they’d alert the coast guard or not.”
“Exactly, any potential threat must be eliminated immediately. You’re right.”
“In that case, shall we have a little competition?”
“Sure, let’s see whose men have better aim, yours or ours.”
“Who goes first?”
“You’re the guests, you go first.”
“Hahaha, I won’t hold back then. You know, we’ve been outgunning the police back home. If we shoot first, you won’t even get a chance.”
“Don’t brag. It’s not that easy on a boat.”
“Is that so? Santos, come on, show our Lighthouse Country friends your shooting skills.”
“Got it, Captain!”
A Latino man unslung an AR-15 with a scope, raised it, and aimed at Lu Zheng.
…
“Lu Zheng!” Lin Wan’s eyes widened.
“I see it,” Lu Zheng said coldly, looking at the gun barrel aimed at him, “You were right. This sea area really isn’t peaceful.”
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Three bullets reached Lu Zheng in the blink of an eye.
Facing the bullets inches away, Lu Zheng casually reached out and caught them, stripping them of their momentum as they obediently landed in his hand.
He opened his palm, revealing three steaming, golden bullets.
Lin Wan let out a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, several people watching through binoculars on the yacht were stunned.
Especially Santos, who had just fired through his scope.
Confident after his three-shot burst, Santos had been ready to admire the sight of Lu Zheng’s chest or head exploding through the scope. Instead, he witnessed a scene he’d never forget.
The man on the boat clearly saw the gun aimed at him, yet he didn’t beg or turn the boat around. After Santos fired, the man simply waved his hand forward and opened his palm.
If it weren’t for the three gleaming bullets in his hand, Santos would’ve thought he’d missed.
But now, Santos wished he had missed.
Catching bullets with his bare hands? Was he Superman?
“Impossible!”
It wasn’t just Santos who cried out in shock, but also the two men beside him holding binoculars.
One was their team’s captain in charge of delivery, the other was the manager from Lighthouse Country handling the pickup.
“Shoot! Shoot!”
“Kill them!”
In an instant, the two leaders made the same decision without hesitation.
The next moment, at least twenty rifles were aimed at the inflatable boat, now less than five hundred metres away and rapidly approaching.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
“Rat-a-tat! Rat-a-tat!”
Twenty rifles fired in unison, a hail of bullets enveloping the small boat from all directions.
The next moment, in Santos’s view through the scope, a white cloud suddenly appeared in front of the boat, thick and dense, and all the bullets fired head-on sank into it.
“What the heck!”
“What is that? A cloud?”
In less than half a minute, hundreds of bullets had poured into the white cloud, and the inflatable boat had closed to within a hundred metres of their yacht.
The shooters, having emptied their magazines, stopped firing, and the inflatable boat halted, stopping just under a hundred metres away.
“Are they dead?”
“F***, they’ve got to be dead, riddled with holes, right?”
“But… what the heck is this cloud? Water vapour?”
“Go up and…”
Before Santos’s captain could finish his sentence, two figures burst out of the cloud.
The next moment, Lu Zheng, holding Lin Wan, landed on the top deck of their yacht.
“To avoid damaging our rented yacht, I’ll handle this one,” Lu Zheng said to Lin Wan, then scanned the group, identifying the two leaders.
In the next instant, aside from those two, every armed figure was struck by Lu Zheng’s Golden Palace Heart Sword.
Before the others could even register shock, they felt a darkness before their eyes.
In the eyes of the two survivors, their men collapsed silently all at once.
And with their experience, they could tell immediately.
All dead!
…
Kahn and Eric stared tremblingly at the two figures on the yacht’s top deck, their gazes blank.
Both held pistols, but there was no question they didn’t dare raise them against these two, who might be gods or demons. They didn’t even know what their minds were processing.
So…
Lu Zheng, with Lin Wan, landed a short distance in front of them.
“Tell me, who are you?”
