Chapter 251: Robbers and Heroes (My Tooth Hurts... It Really Hurts, so Much so that I Can't Sleep) I'm Begging for a Monthly Pass (Edited)

The armed man obviously did not expect that an outsider would come to the ship at this time. When he walked leisurely through a cross corridor, Meatball quickly ran behind him and strangled his neck with one hand. , covered his mouth with the other hand, and exerted force with both hands. In just a few seconds, the man went into shock due to lack of oxygen. →Saji grabbed the guy's legs and lifted him into a room on the side.

This is a luxury cruise ship with rooms everywhere.

"Pry open his mouth, I want to know what happened here!" Kai ordered the goat while taking off the communicator from the unlucky guy and throwing it to the kid. He needed the kid to monitor the other party's call.

Goat is also proficient in interrogation. In fact, the people in this team are all talents. Although Goat is usually taciturn, he is actually extremely proficient in interrogation. It’s just that his interrogation style is not accepted by most people... He is that kind of person. An interrogator who focuses on physical torture to obtain the information he wants. Generally speaking, few prisoners who pass through his hands can grit their teeth. Of course, it is normal for them to die or be disabled afterwards.

If this kind of person were left outside, they would have been criticized by human rights organizations.

The goat nodded, and quickly tied the prisoner to a chair in the room. At the same time, he took out a bunch of strange torture instruments from his backpack, none of them were big ones, they were all small instruments that didn't look like much. Not much lethality.

But when other people saw these things, they all shuddered, and they all found trouble and left there, going outside to be on guard. Because they knew that the next scene would be even more forbidden than the 18-year-old boy. Duke was quite brave, but after watching the torture of a goat, he couldn't sleep well for three whole days.

…

Time passed quickly. In less than ten minutes, the goat wiped his hands with a towel and opened the door and came out.

"Already done."

According to what the unlucky guy told them, they were indeed not good people. They are a group of robbers. The purpose of coming to this ship is naturally to rob it. According to their boss Hannova, they are going to do something big this time. They plan to rob everyone on the ship, and then they can quit and everyone will become a rich man.

In order to rob the world's most luxurious cruise ship, they also prepared an internal agent in the ship. Once the internal agent parked the ship on the high seas, they could easily rob the entire ship. As for who the spy is, no one knows except their boss Hannova.

The plan was very good. A large ship that had lost its communication function was parked on the high seas without any security forces, waiting for them to plunder.

It's a pity that the plan went wrong at the beginning. They are robbers and they don't know how to make clever plans. They encountered a storm first, and when they finally boarded the ship, they found that there was no one on the ship.

"Where have everyone gone?" Kai asked curiously.

The goat was silent for a while, seeming to collect his thoughts.

"The guy said... there was a monster on the ship, and most of the people on the ship were eaten by the monster... I confirmed several times that he was not talking nonsense or trying to deceive us."

This is also the reason why Goat hesitated just now, because it is too fantasy.

monster? Still eating people?

But Kai was very calm. He had seen many monsters. Can they eat people? What monster doesn't eat people?

"You just need to tell me if the target person is still alive?" Kai didn't care about the monster. monster? How scary can it be? Even if the monster doesn't come to him, he will go to the monster. No matter what, it is a rare ‘experience package’. What he cares about now is the presidential candidate. If he dies, don't say anything, just plant bombs everywhere on the ship, blowing up the monsters and the ship together. If they were to stay alive, they would need to waste some energy.

"I don't know. That guy doesn't know who Benjamin Asher is. There are dozens of people still alive on the ship, and he can't remember who they are." The goat shook his head.

"Well, now it seems that we need to waste some time." Kai shrugged and asked the goat: "What are the characteristics of that monster? Where is it? What are the number and weapon configuration of the robbers? All survivors are there where?"

"There are more than forty survivors in the central hall on the sixth deck." The Yago has ten decks. Except for the top deck, driving deck and bottom deck, the other decks are entertainment and accommodation facilities. The sixth deck is considered the most important deck, which includes various high-end casinos, clubs and restaurants, as well as several heated swimming pools. It is the core part of the entire cruise ship.

"Including that idiot, there are only 10 robbers, seven militants and three crew members. The converted cargo ship outside belongs to them. All the robbers have similar weapons and equipment."

"Very good, listen." Kai called everyone together, and then assigned everyone a task: "Me, Meatball, Duke, and Portman are in a group, and Sage, Destroyer, Goat, and Imp are in a group. , surround the group of robbers from both sides of the central hall, remember to be careful not to cause unnecessary casualties! Especially the target person, protect him as soon as he discovers the target mission? "

"clear!"

"Is it clear?"

"clear!"

"Very well, let's go! Huha!"

"Huha!"

…

In the central hall, the captain and cruise ship owner Simon are trying their best to persuade the robber leader Hannova to leave the cruise ship as soon as possible. They were already frightened. There are monsters here!

"Listen to me, we have to leave immediately, right now! Those monsters will come soon and will eat us all up. We have to escape immediately. As long as you can take us away, I can give you money, a lot of money!"

This is the owner of the cruise ship, Simon. He is a rich man. He has his own casino in Las Vegas and some industries in Washington. He is quite rich.

Unfortunately, his tricks are useless to the robber leader.

Hanover and Simon have known each other for a long time. Simon runs a casino. No one who runs a casino in Las Vegas is clean. Where is the world's largest money laundering place? It's in Las Vegas! Simon is engaged in money laundering. Hanover is one of his clients.

And this time Hanover came here to rob because of Simon's invitation.

That's right, Simon wanted to rob his own ship. From the construction, license, decoration to the departure of this ship, Simon spent about 500 million US dollars. This caused serious problems with Simon's capital chain. Even if the cruise ship was full on its maiden voyage, Simon still felt that he could not support it. You know, the operating costs of the cruise ship are also astronomical.

Simon already owes the bank a large sum of money. Although the cruise ship has a lot of income, it is not enough to raise money to pay the bank loan in a short time. If the repayment is not due, the bank will take back the cruise ship.

In the United States, the biggest gangster has never been the government, the gangs, or the military, but the banks! American banks have penetrated every aspect of Americans.

For example, pre-consumption, this consumption model is the masterpiece of banks. Almost everyone in the United States has a loan. Even the rich are no exception. Once the loan is not repaid, the bank will immediately take over the borrower's assets.

Relying on this, American bankers make a lot of money. For example, Simon raised funds and spent several years of effort to build this cruise ship. In order to obtain the cruise ship license, he also consumed countless resources, both material and personal connections. Then inviting casinos, restaurants, and various stores to enter the cruise ship also requires a lot of energy.

When he got everything done, the cruise ship set sail and began to make a profit. As a result, the bank now wants to take it all away.

In short, all the work Simon did in the early stage was done for nothing by the bank!

This is a way for the bank to make profits, which perfectly avoids the initial investment and directly enjoys the fruits.

It would be strange if Simon could be willing!

So he thought of a crooked trick, he planned to ruin his own cruise ship!

His original idea was very simple, which was to destroy the cruise ship's operating system. As the world's first cruise ship, the operating system on it is also the world's top, very complex, and very advanced, and is completely controlled by the central computer. But like all high-tech technologies, it is very easy to be destroyed, such as blowing up the central computer.

Of course, it would be too obvious to do so, so he used a virus specially written for the central computer, which directly paralyzed the computer system on the cruise ship. All functions of the cruise ship were rendered ineffective.

This was only the first step. The second step was to let Hanover board the yacht, rob it, and then blow up the yacht. Of course, Simon did not kill everyone madly, he just wanted to destroy part of the cruise ship. For this reason, Hanover prepared six small torpedoes from Russia, which were enough to make the cruise ship lose power, but not to destroy the entire cruise ship.

Simon did this, of course, not to retaliate against society. What he wanted was to get compensation from the insurance company. The insurance compensation for this cruise ship is as high as 1 billion US dollars! Once there is a problem with the cruise ship, the insurance company must pay compensation. At that time, he can not only pay back the bank's money, but also make a lot of money, and then the cruise ship can be repaired and set sail again, and still make money!

It has to be said that American businessmen are not good things.

But Simon's plan is indeed very feasible.

It's a pity that Simon just stopped the cruise ship and encountered an accident.

The monster came before Hanover!

So far, Simon and his friends don't know what the monster is. They only know that within 52 hours, more than 3,000 people died on the ship! This is also the maximum load of the cruise ship, which means that except for them, everyone on this ship is dead!

"Yes, we are not far from the coastline of Chile now. As long as we leave here, we can use the satellite phone to ask for help, and then we can be rescued!" The captain is also trying his best to persuade Hanover.

"No!" But Hanover was unmoved. "I want to get my money, otherwise I won't go anywhere!"

Hanover spent almost all his savings to carry out this operation. Apart from other things, the six torpedoes alone are worth more than 30 million! If he can't get the money, he will go bankrupt. That is more unacceptable to him than death.

"But after the electronic system was paralyzed, the safe deposit box has been locked! You can't open it now!" Simon was about to collapse. He didn't expect that the safe deposit box was actually connected to the central control computer. He is the boss, not a security guard, how could he know that it would turn out like this.

"Then use violent means to open it!" Hanover said firmly.

There is no such thing as a safe deposit box that cannot be opened. As long as conditions permit, an oxygen cutting machine can do it. It's just time-consuming. It just happens that the damage management department of the cruise ship has those equipment.

"But those equipment are all on the lower deck!" Simon said helplessly. Who would put such industrial equipment in the entertainment hall for no reason?

Hanover was also a ruthless man. He grinned, then pulled out his pistol, loaded it and pointed it at the survivors. "Let them get it!"

He is not like Simon, who has a family and a job, and wants to return to the United States. He will not kill anyone at all. Hanover will remain anonymous from now on, so killing someone is not a big deal for him.

A group of survivors immediately gathered together screaming, like a herd of animals meeting a lion, hoping to increase their sense of security in this way. It's a pity that Hanover didn't care about this at all. He fired a shot at the ceiling and said to those people: "Ladies and gentlemen, I need some brave people to help me get the equipment. Personally, I hope someone will come forward. I don’t want any bloodshed at this moment, but don’t test my patience!”

bump!

Another shot.

A group of people were frightened and trembling.

Finally a handsome man stood up. This man's appearance is that of a typical American decent protagonist. He is tall and strong, with a square face and a butt-shaped chin. Although I don’t know where this weird aesthetic comes from, since the 1960s and 1970s, this face shape has been associated with the screen images of soldiers, policemen, and heroes. Many American heroes have this image.

Even the most popular portrait of Captain America has this face shape.

"I'll go!"

"Oh! A brave man has appeared!" Hannova was very happy.

The man's female companion, probably his wife, was crying and trying to hold him back. There was also a five or six-year-old boy who was also crying for his father. Looks like a family.

"Sorry, honey, I have to stand up." The man looked at his wife and children apologetically and said resolutely. Very majestic and righteous.

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! We can't let him go! Listen, man, you can't let him take risks!" Simon, on the other hand, was so frightened that he almost peed when he saw the man standing up. "If something happens to him, you will be hunted by the US government for the rest of your life!"

"Why?" Hanover asked.

"He is the Democratic presidential candidate!" Simon shouted out the man's identity.

But the moment he revealed the man's identity, Kai, who had already entered the combat position, immediately said to the intercom: "Target confirmed! Fire!"

Bump bump!

The three gunshots appeared very suddenly, and experienced people would immediately know that these were three bursts of fire from an automatic rifle. This shooting method is to strike a balance between accuracy, functional positioning of the rifle, and firepower density. It is a very common shooting method in the military.

Hannova also heard it, but unfortunately it was over. It was Kai who was aiming at him. The recoil of the MK17 assault rifle in his hand was of no use to him. All three of his shots hit. One to the head, one to the heart, and the last to the black companions of Hanover.

Other team members opened fire next from the second floor of the concourse. The gangsters wanted to fight back, but Kai's team had already gained a good location. They were on the second floor and surrounded the robbers from a high position.

After a continuous burst of gunfire. Of the remaining seven robbers, four were killed on the spot, and the other three robbers dropped their weapons and raised their hands the moment Kai and the others opened fire.

"Clean!" Goat and Portman raised their thumbs to indicate threatening contact.

Kai immediately walked down to the second floor with the other members of the team and rushed towards Benjamin Asher, while Goat and Portman continued to control the overall situation from high up. Meatball, Imp and Destroyer immediately took control of the three surrendered robbers.

"Benjamin Asher?" Kai asked formally.

Benjamin was a little dazed, everything happened too fast. In just about five seconds, all the gangsters who had been showing off their power just now were dead! Even Benjamin's wife forgot to cover her son's eyes, allowing the five-year-old kid to watch the entire killing process.

"Benjamin Asher!"

"Ah...yes! I am Benjamin Asher!" Only then did Benjamin come back to his senses. "Are you here to save me?"

As a result, Kai ignored him and snapped his fingers at the kid. The kid immediately took out an encrypted satellite phone from the pocket of his tactical vest. This phone is not on the same satellite system as the 'AWIS Army Global Military Command and Control/Information System' used by Kai, which also avoids trouble.

Kai wanted to report the mission progress to General Hawke and wait for the next action instructions. After they found Benjamin, they had to retreat according to their pre-planned plan, which required General Hawke to contact surrounding ships for support. There are more than forty people here, and their RHIB rigid inflatable boat cannot carry so many people.

Unfortunately, the satellite phone was silent.

"What's going on? Why can't we contact you?"

This is a question to the kid. He is a correspondent, and all the communication equipment is kept by him. Kai suspected that this kid had caused some trouble and caused the satellite phone to break.

"How is that possible?" The kid immediately picked up the satellite phone. After trying it, he also used his own communication device to try to contact the outside world, but there was still no response. "No! The phone is fine, but the signal transmission has been cut off!"

Kai and his men all looked at Simon and the captain.

The two of them were also confused. "No! We didn't do this. There is no signal blocking device on the ship, and the satellite phone has been out of service for a long time!"

"No wonder... nothing about the situation on the ship was spread." There are thousands of people on this ship, so it's impossible not to have a satellite phone. Now I understand, it turns out that satellite phones have become a decoration.

Kai didn't panic. This kind of thing was difficult, but it was nothing. The cruise ship can't move, but isn't there a converted cargo ship nearby? Although the cargo ship is not very big, it should not be a problem to bring some people on board.

But just as Kai was about to speak, a sound of metal squeezing suddenly rang out.

Kaz~ Kaz~

The team members immediately pointed their guns at the surroundings, and everyone else fell silent at the same time. They knew what it was, it was this sound, and every time it appeared, it was accompanied by killing. They knew that as long as they heard a sound, it was best to shut up and not make any sound. Otherwise...
