"Pirates? How many? What weapons do they have?" Huo Shaoheng voice was calm and steady.
Zhao Liangze surveyed the multiple speed boats coming from all directions. His gaze was heavy as he used his night vision goggles to take a photo of the surroundings and sent it to the base via an encoded channel on the Nandou system.
"There were the 16 pirates that boarded the ship earlier and said that someone paid 10 million US dollars to kill us off. Nianzhi and I got rid of all of them, but now there are more powerful ones, a total of eight speed boats are coming this way. If I'm seeing this right, they have… shoulder-launching rockets!"
Huo Shaoheng grimaced as he instantly understood the pirates' intentions. He walked along the beach and looked off to the distance at the heavy clouds circling above. The wind howled and the rolling waves crested like mountain peaks before crashing against the shore.
