In the battle on the deck, Neutron Star had clearly gained the upper hand. Although the scarred-faced pirate was very tall and looked fierce, he was forced to retreat.
"Wow!"
However, the pirates obviously would not let their leader fight alone. A level 38 black pirate who had just climbed up shouted in a language that Feng Luo could not understand. He raised the AK47 in his hand and fired a string of bullets towards the neutron star.
"call out!"
"-1201"
But just when he pulled the trigger, an ice arrow hit the back of his hand. The pain caused him to loosen his finger on the trigger, and the AK47 that had just fired seven or eight rounds suddenly stalled.
"boom!"
"1899!"
Immediately afterwards, an armor-piercing bullet was fired from a direction on the left side of the deck, directly piercing the throat of the black pirate. After the blood-red fatal injury, all that was left was a corpse.
This shot was not fired by Feng Luo. From his position, it could not hit the pirate's throat.
So the person who shot was naturally the Black Panther.
The Black Panther hid in a hidden position on the deck, holding a sniper rifle and shooting every few seconds. Each bullet took away a pirate's head.
After Bing Liuli helped Neutron Star, he quickly released a skill to roll back a large amount of sea water, overturning the hovercraft used by the pirates on one side of the cruise ship to sneak up on him, causing a pirate who had not yet climbed up to fall into the sea, and was killed again. She kills with two skills.
White Crescent Moon, who was carrying a battlefield medicine kit, quickly ran behind Neutron Star and threw a treatment pack with great accuracy, allowing Neutron Star to recover almost full health when it had dropped to about two-thirds.
The scarred-faced pirate leader, who was at the end of his strength, was hit by a head-sized red fireball flying from a distance, swallowing up his last bit of blood.
When all the players on the ship participated in the battle, the position battle on the ship soon came to an end.
Three of the NPC crew members on the cruise ship were killed and six were injured, two of whom were seriously injured. In total, only ten crew members still retain combat effectiveness.
However, all twenty pirates in total were killed.
But the trouble is not over yet, to be precise, it has just begun!
The Red Queen looked at the sea behind the ship. Although her face was as cold as ever, the slight frown still showed her true mood.
Because about three kilometers behind the cruise ship, with half of the sun just above the sea level, you can see a pirate ship that is more than twice the size of the Gray Wing and seems to be a pirate ship converted from an abandoned warship approaching quickly.
There are a lot of pirates on the gray sea.
They are entrenched on some islands deep in the ocean, robbing passing passenger and cargo ships, and doing similar things to the rebels, kidnapping players or NPCs as hostages, and extorting money from the federal government.
The federal government forces have sent out aircraft carrier fleets several times to clean up the pirates, but they have not been able to completely wipe them out every time. There have always been many pirates in the gray waters.
This is mainly because the federal government does not have absolute control over the entire planet.
Although the federal government has been established for more than thirty years, various non-governmental armed forces still control a total of more than 40% of the sphere of influence. This is why the rebels dare to directly attack the towns of the federal government.
Many of the pirates on the gray sea are supported by non-governmental armed forces, and they even belong to such illegal forces themselves, so it is impossible for the federal government to completely clean them up.
Of course, the aforementioned information is background information found on the game’s official website.
In fact, a more reasonable explanation should be that the game company set it up this way intentionally.
There are many islands and sea areas in the gray sea that have not yet been reclaimed. The monsters inside will explode a lot of rare special materials and items. If you find one and loot it, you will definitely gain a lot of money. Therefore, in order to increase the difficulty, the system is specially set up. Overcome the threshold of pirates.
As the saying goes, the greater the return, the higher the risk.
"If the cruise ship reaches its maximum speed, can we get rid of them?"
Big Pineapple held the military telescope he used yesterday in his hand and asked while observing the pirate ship behind him.
"No, the pirate ships have specially modified power systems. It is estimated that their speed is close to 40 knots, while our ship can only reach a maximum of 35 knots. It is impossible to get rid of them."
One arm suffered a gunshot wound, and the bearded Npc first mate shook his head after being bandaged and hung around his neck.
Knot is a special unit of speed. One knot is equal to 1.85 kilometers per hour.
"Then we're not destined to finish playing?"
Big Pineapple spread his hands and looked at the Red Queen behind him.
Although it's a bit far away, you can't see it clearly with a telescope.
But judging from the size of the pirate ship, it can hold at least seventy or eighty people, maybe even hundreds. After all, the pirates must have supply points nearby and do not need to sail far. There is no need to bring too much food on the ship. Pretending to be a lot of people.
Looking at it this way, even if they had just eliminated twenty pirates, and the average level of these pirates was only about 35, it would not be easy to deal with nearly a hundred of them.
What's even more troublesome is that what they are chasing is a pirate ship modified from a warship. There are only more heavy weapons on the ship than on the cruise ship. No matter how strong their personal strength is, the seven players are definitely at a disadvantage when facing a large number of heavy weapons.
Heavy weapons are what players call weapons that cannot be disassembled and placed in backpacks and must be mounted on vehicles.
For example, the six-barrel electromagnetic machine gun installed on the energy military vehicle that Feng Luo encountered before, the small energy cannon installed on the Tiger mecha, the small missile launcher, etc...
Similarly, the 40mm close-in defense gun on this armed cruise ship also belongs to this type of weapon.
Most of these weapons are powerful and have terrible range of damage or destructive capabilities. With the current player's strength, it is almost impossible to confront them head-on.
Like the six-barreled electromagnetic machine gun on the previous rebel energy military vehicle, ordinary players over level 40 only need to hit five or six rounds of blood to be empty. It also has an automatic ammunition supply device. As long as there are enough bullets, it will be a full-power weapon. Big killer.
However, the power of heavy weapons will be limited when controlled by players, and the damage will be forcibly reduced when pKing with other players and attacking monsters above the leader level, so professions such as mecha masters are not unsolvable.
But now the people who control these heavy weapons are pirates. They can exert the full power of heavy weapons, so facing this pirate ship, the player has little hope of truly winning.
"No, we still have a chance!" the Red Queen said in a deep voice.
"I have learned on the forum before that although pirates encountered at sea like this are also humanoid monsters, they are not as fearless as the rebels. Generally speaking, as long as the number of deaths exceeds 75%, "
"Seventy-five percent, then it's probably impossible to fight!" Big Pineapple frowned.
Seventy-five percent, excluding the twenty killed before, it is estimated that at least forty or fifty more need to be killed.
But when the opponent has many heavy weapons, even if they can kill so many, they will be disabled, and the next mission will definitely not be completed.
"No, you can fight. Because there is a hidden setting. Every time you kill an elite pirate leader, the percentage will drop by 5%. If you can kill the pirate captain, it can even drop by 100%. Ten out of ten!”
The Red Queen said calmly.
"If it's another profession, there's nothing we can do about it, but if it's a sniper, and we specifically select the elites among them to shoot, with luck we might not even have to fight them with heavy weapons!"
When saying this, the Red Queen glanced at Feng Luo and the Black Panther on the other side.
"Is this why you hired a sniper?" Feng Luo asked.
"Part of the reason!" replied the Red Queen.
"Let me go, what do they want to do?"
Before Feng Luo could ask any more questions, Big Pineapple, who looked at the pirate ship behind with his binoculars, let out an exclamation.
Feng Luo raised his sniper rifle, and through the largest scope, he saw three assault boats being lowered into the water from both sides of the pirate ship, and then quickly rushing towards this side.
"They are probably planning to go around to our sides and front to block and interfere with our escape route!" Neutron Star judged.
"Using an assault boat to interfere with a cruise ship is of completely different tonnage. It can't be stopped." Bing Liuli rarely expressed an opinion.
"Oh my god! Don't let their assault boats get close, otherwise we will definitely not be able to escape!"
The injured first mate of the bearded Npc suddenly shouted loudly.
"Why?" asked the Red Queen.
"These pirate assault boats have been modified and equipped with torpedo launchers, which can launch a miniature guided torpedo. It can be launched as long as it enters a range of two hundred and fifty meters. The torpedo is not very powerful, but if it is attacked by them Hitting the hull caused some watertight compartments to flood, and our ship's speed would be seriously reduced! "chaptererror();
