Chapter 1395 Blood Moon (Thirty-four)
"Please lock the hatches and don't come out without notice!"
In the cabin corridor of the Blue Star passenger ship, there were bursts of hurried footsteps, and sailors with weapons knocked on the doors and alerted the passengers inside.
The atmosphere inside the huge ship was extremely tense.
At this time, Ronan opened the cabin door and came to the aisle outside.
His action immediately attracted the attention of a sailor, who strode over and said in a deep voice with a frown, "Sir, please go back inside. It's very dangerous outside."
As an armed sailor on a passenger ship, what annoyed him most were those passengers who were self-righteous even when they were in danger.
Unfortunately, these people have high status and cannot be directly suppressed by violence.
"I'm a detective."
Ronan showed the other party his police badge and explained: "I hope I can be of help."
"Detective?"
The sailor's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly said, "Please follow me."
Such a young detective, who took the initiative to offer help, must be a very capable person.
He immediately took Ronan to the outer deck area.
At this moment, hundreds of armed sailors had gathered on the deck, and others were distributing weapons.
Since pirate activities in the open sea have always been rampant, large passenger ships like the Blue Star must be equipped with a large number of combat personnel and weapons and equipment to resist enemy attacks.
But this time, the Blue Star encountered huge troubles.
Standing on the deck, one can clearly see that several pirate ships are chasing the passenger ship. They have raised the skull and crossbones flag representing looting, like vicious wolves eyeing fat prey.
At this time, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the night enveloped the vast ocean. There were as many as five pirate ships that could be seen, and it was unknown how many more were hiding in the darkness, ready to launch fatal attacks on the passenger ship at any time.
boom! boom! boom!
Flares were fired into the night sky one after another. The sudden burst of light illuminated the surrounding sea, and the lurking pirate ships had nowhere to hide, and their tracks were immediately exposed.
This is also a signal for help!
The steam turbine of the Blue Star has entered an overpressure state. In the boiler room on the lowest floor, shirtless boilermen are desperately shoveling coal into the burning boiler to increase power for the giant ship.
However, the tonnage of this giant ship was too large and it was fully loaded with passengers and cargo. Even though the power of the steam turbine was increased to the maximum, the ship's speed was still no match for the relentless pursuit of the sea wolves.
Boom!Boom!
The pirate ships that were approaching the passenger ship opened fire and shells fell around the Blue Star.
Stirring up columns of water.
But the pirates did not want to sink the huge ship. Their purpose was undoubtedly to intimidate the sailors on the passenger ship.
On the deck, Ronan received a rifle and five magazines.
The rifle is a standard Invia 1735 model. Although it is an old model bolt-action rifle from more than years ago, it has been well maintained and is at least % new.
This rifle has a long range and high accuracy, and its magazine can hold 12 pointed copper-cased bullets, making it quite lethal.
The only drawback is the strong recoil and the heavy weight of the rifle, so it requires an experienced veteran to use it well.
Ronan's predecessor had used the Invia 1735 during training, so he was not unfamiliar with this rifle.
And with his current strength, it is easy for him to control this rifle.
With gun in hand, Ronan raised his aim and aimed at a pirate ship not far away, but did not fire.
Because the distance between the two sides is beyond the range.
At this moment, the pirate ship suddenly spewed out eye-catching flames.
"careful!"
A sailor on the deck let out a heart-wrenching howl: "Anchor chain bomb!"
The next moment, a pitch-black iron anchor shot through the air and hit a cabin below the deck in an instant.
Behind the anchor, there was a long iron chain being dragged.
This is the anchor chain bomb that is often used in naval warfare, specifically for boarding and approaching battles.
The Blue Star was hit by more than a dozen anchor chain bullets from the same wave of attacks from multiple pirate ships.
The huge ship immediately "hooked up" four or five pirate ships, and the distance between the two sides was rapidly shortened.
Not only that, a large number of fearless pirates tried to board the passenger ship by stepping on iron chains.
"Fire!"
The boatswain in charge of the deck battle roared angrily: "Kill these damn pirates!"
Intensive gunfire suddenly rang out, and the pirates who were shot fell into the sea one by one and disappeared in an instant.
Ronan then pulled the trigger.
boom!
Along with the crisp sound of gunfire, a pirate's head suddenly exploded on the bow of the pirate ship hundreds of meters away from him.
This shot looks incredible.
Because this was on a rough sea, both the Blue Star and the Corsair were traveling at high speeds, especially the latter, which was breaking through the waves, with its bow rising and falling greatly.
It was no exaggeration to say that it was a miracle that Ronan shot him in the head from hundreds of meters away.
But it can also be seen as a blind cat catching a dead mouse.
However, this was just the beginning of his "performance".
Ronan pulled the bolt calmly, ejected the hot shell, loaded a new bullet, and then pulled the trigger steadily.
boom! boom! boom!
He fired shot after shot, like a ruthless shooting machine, firing deadly bullets into the pirates' heads and chests.
No pirate who is targeted by Ronan will be spared.
When one magazine was empty, he loaded a second one.
At this moment, a fierce and bloodthirsty gaze stared at Ronan on the deck.
His eyebrows twitched, and he immediately saw a burly man appearing at the bow of the pirate ship.
The other party was only wearing a pair of shorts, revealing his strong muscles. He had one eye, a wide nose and a ferocious appearance. He held a shield in his left hand and a battle axe in his right hand, and there was an iron chain wrapped around his waist.
Ronan moved the gun without thinking, aimed at the guy who was suspected to be the pirate leader and pulled the trigger.
boom!
A flame spurted out from the muzzle of the Invia 1735 rifle, and a pointed bullet shot out instantly.
However, the one-eyed pirate seemed to have the ability to predict the future. The moment Ronan opened fire, he raised his shield in front of him and barely blocked the bullet shot at him.
And under the impact of the bullet, his body did not move at all.
Extraordinary one!
Ronan understood.
Instead of continuing to shoot in desperation, he turned his gun again to deal with those ordinary pirates.
boom! boom! boom!
The three pirates who were shot in the head fell from the anchor chain one after another.
"die!"
The one-eyed pirate was furious. He suddenly jumped high and jumped directly onto the violently shaking anchor chain.
At the moment the anchor chain fell, he used the force to "fly up" again and rushed to the middle position in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, the sailors on the deck immediately concentrated their fire on this guy.
The result was that either the shot missed or was blocked by the one-eyed pirate's shield!
In just a few breaths, this extraordinary person leaped onto the deck of the Blue Star!
