Somalia is one of the least developed countries in the world. It is located on the Somali Peninsula in the easternmost part of the African continent. It is bounded by the Gulf of Aden to the north, the Indian Ocean to the east, Kenya and Ethiopia to the west, and Djibouti to the northwest. It is the three continents of Asia, Africa, and Europe and the Pacific Ocean.

, the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean are three major transportation hubs, and their geographical location has very important strategic significance.

Since the fall of the Siad regime, Somalia has been in a state of anarchy characterized by warlord armed separatism, serious tribal conflicts, and a divided country.

Due to the ongoing civil war, the security situation in Somalia has deteriorated extremely, prices have soared, daily necessities are in short supply, local residents have no guarantee of life, and the level of medical care is at the lowest level in the world.

Mogadishu is the capital of Somalia. It is an ancient city with a long history. However, after decades of civil war, this ancient city has no longer regained its former glory and is full of dilapidated and decayed atmosphere.

No airline was willing to bear the huge premiums, so it simply closed flights here. As a result, if people want to enter Mogadishu, they can only go by land or sea.

Two days later, outside the Gulf of Aden in the Indian Ocean, the sky was blue and the sea breeze was gentle. A giant cargo ship flying the flag of Anping was riding the wind and waves on the sea, heading towards the port of Mogadishu.

"Sister Yan, this place is really beautiful."

On the deck, two girls stood leaning on the railing, breathing in the slightly damp air. A girl with glasses, who was full of youthful atmosphere, stretched her arms with a contented face, as if embracing the sea, and directed towards Tong Yaner beside her.

Said excitedly.

Tong Yan'er smiled slightly, thinking that she would arrive in Mogadishu soon to see the man she had longed for, and she felt inexplicably excited. She said with emotion: "Somalia is a country that has been in war all year round. Whether it is economic or

Social systems such as education have long since collapsed, but it is precisely because of this that this barren land is not polluted by too much modern industry and can retain the natural beauty endowed by nature."

"Sister Yan, you still see the problem thoroughly, and you are worthy of being the pillar of our stage."

The girl wearing glasses flattered with a smile.

Her name is Chang Hong, and she is a newcomer in the same batch as Xiao Chen. She is the only person in Taiwan who actively signed up to take over Xiao Chen's job and become Tong Yan'er's new partner.

For those old people at the national station, going to Somalia, a chaotic place where life is not guaranteed, to carry out an interview mission is definitely a dangerous thing to do with your head hanging on your waistband.

But for a newcomer like Chang Hong, it was a shortcut to get ahead quickly. Therefore, regardless of her family's objections, she resolutely came here with full passion and dreams.

Tong Yan'er smiled faintly and did not answer, squinting her eyes and looking at the distant horizon.

Although she is well aware of Chang Hong's thoughts, she does not feel disgusted. After all, everyone has what they want to pursue.

Compared with those who are giants in slogans but dwarfs in action, she actually admires people like Chang Hong who are ambitious, want to make progress, and are willing to take practical actions to pursue their dreams.

"Huh?"

Tong Yan'er suddenly let out a cry of surprise, her face became serious, and she stared at the few black spots that suddenly appeared in the line between the sea and the sky.

"What's wrong? Sister Yan?"

Chang Hong didn't pay attention to Tong Yan'er's face and asked casually.

She didn't think Somalia would be very dangerous, and she was thinking about how to leave a good impression on the pillar. It would be best if she could gain her trust and appreciation. After successfully completing this interview mission, maybe she, a temporary

Her partner can become a regular employee, which will be of great benefit to her career future.

"What do you think that is? Is it a speedboat?"

Tong Yaner stared at the sea in the distance with a solemn expression and asked in a quick voice.

Chang Hong narrowed his eyes curiously

He looked hard and nodded after a moment: "It seems like it is really a speedboat, and it is heading towards us."

Tong Yan'er's face changed drastically and she exclaimed: "No, it's a Somali pirate. Go and notify the captain."

Chang Hong's whole body trembled, his face instantly turned pale, and he trembled with a hint of luck: "No way? This is a merchant ship from Anping Kingdom. Are pirates so bold?"

"Pirates only care about money, and they don't care which country's merchant ship you are from. Besides, how can a speedboat appear in this vast sea? What is it if it's not a pirate?"

Tong Yan'er never thought that she would be so unlucky that she would encounter pirates on her first trip to Somalia. Seeing Chang Hong's frightened face and her legs shaking like chaff, she knew that her psychological endurance had reached its limit and she might collapse at any time.

, did not bother to comfort her, turned around and shouted to the sailors who were sunbathing on the deck: "The pirates are coming, the pirates are coming."

"What? There are pirates?"

There were many sailors on the deck taking a peek at Tong Yan'er, this beautiful beauty. When they heard her shout, their expressions suddenly changed. A sailor climbed up the mast in twos and twos like a nimble monkey, took out his telescope and looked into the distance.

Look.

Woohoo!

A moment later, a rapid siren sounded. Although the sailors on the ship did not panic, they quickly picked up the walkie-talkies and reported to the captain.

Two minutes later, two men with crew cuts and slender faces hurriedly walked out of the cabin and stood on the deck. They looked at the speedboat speeding in the distance with binoculars, and their expressions became extremely solemn.

"How is it? A pirate?"

Tong Yan'er felt uneasy, so she approached several sailors and asked.

"Yes, they are indeed pirates, but don't worry, we have professional escorts."

Although a sailor was worried, he still comforted him confidently.

"Escort?"

Tong Yaner repeated in confusion.

In her opinion, the escorts were nothing more than security personnel on the ship. What use could they be in the face of a large number of armed pirates?

"Yes, Somalia is a war-torn area. In order to ensure the safety of our merchant ships, the country has specially deployed retired special forces to serve as escorts on each large merchant ship. These escorts all have weapons and gun licenses.

With them here, the safety of merchant ships can definitely be guaranteed."

The sailors seemed to have great confidence in the escort, and their faces returned to calmness, and they spoke proudly and confidently.

Tong Yan'er suddenly realized it, and her tense heart relaxed a little. She subconsciously looked at the two men with flat heads who were observing the situation, secretly praying that they were really as powerful as the sailors said and could resolve this pirate crisis.

.

While they were talking, the two men with flat heads moved quickly. One took out his walkie-talkie and whispered something, and the other quickly ran towards them.

"Two ladies, please return to the cabin immediately. These pirates are obviously well prepared and armed with heavy weapons. It will be very dangerous to stay on the deck."

The flat-headed man came to them and said in a tone that left no room for doubt.

Tong Yan'er was not dissatisfied with this. After all, they had good intentions. She quickly nodded and agreed, pulling Chang Hong, who was trembling all over and looking pale, and ran towards the cabin.

"Ouch!"

But Chang Hong's legs were shaking like chaff, and all her weight was on Tong Yan'er. She couldn't stop herself from staggering, and she cried out in pain and fell to the ground with Chang Hong.

Ta-ta-ta!

A series of submachine gun bullets flew past Tong Yaner's scalp, frightening her out of her wits. She and Chang Hong hugged each other tightly, screaming in fear.

"Well!"

A muffled groan sounded, and Tong Yan'er felt a stream of warm fluid

The liquid sprayed all over her head and face. Through her blood-red sight, she was horrified to find that the escort who had been calm before had been shot in the middle of his eyebrow and fell beside them with a thud, his eyes fixed in death.

Staring at the blue sky, full of unwillingness and disbelief.

"Danger, lie down and don't move, the other side has a sniper."

Another man with a flat head who was arranging tasks for his companions through the walkie-talkie ignored the grief of the sacrifice of his comrades. When he saw the frightened Tong Yaner and Chang Hong, they screamed at extremely high decibels. Their survival instinct made them want to stand up and go to the ground.

He ran into the cabin, squatted down and shouted loudly.

It's a pity that a woman who is in fear and panic has no sense at all. She screams uncontrollably and stands up to stretch her legs in fear.

"Damn."

The rapid sound of submachine guns rang out again, and the flat-headed man cursed angrily, kicked the ground hard, and pounced on Tong Yan'er and Chang Hong like an arrow from a string.

Puff puff puff!

A series of gunshots rang out, and the flat-headed man grunted, blocked the bullets for them with his body, threw them down and pinned them down.

Fortunately, he was relatively well prepared and put on the body armor immediately. Although the impact of the bullet hit him and made him grimace in pain, fortunately, he was not really hurt.

"Are you...are you okay?"

Tong Yan'er was hit by the crew-cut man and flew several meters away and fell to the ground. She felt as if her bones were falling apart and she was in unbearable pain. However, she finally calmed down and looked at the crew-cut man with frightened and guilty eyes and asked, "Just look at it."

When Chang Hong was lying on the ground with her arms and legs spread out, the man with a flat head was lying on her body tightly, the posture was so ambiguous that she couldn't help but turn her head to the side with a blush on her face.

The flat-headed man awkwardly got up from the red-faced Chang Hong, shook his head slightly, and then rolled over like a nimble civet cat to pick up the fallen walkie-talkie, and shouted at the walkie-talkie: "Fire, suppress."

Their firepower, be careful to hide, there are snipers hidden among the pirates."

"Roger, Captain, are you okay?"

A concerned man's voice came over the intercom.

The captain's expression darkened, he took a deep breath, and said sadly: "Zheng Guowei died."

"These damn pirates, I'm going to kill them all."

A sad and angry roar came from the intercom.

"Calm down and don't be impulsive. This group of pirates is a little unusual. They don't look like ordinary pirates. Everyone, please be careful."

The captain's eyes flashed with thought, and he warned in a calm tone.

"receive."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rapid firefight on the deck, smoke filled the air, and bullets flew everywhere.

Tong Yaner and Chang Hong had never seen this formation before. They lay trembling on the deck and did not dare to move, for fear of being hit by stray bullets.

Upon seeing this, the captain felt relieved. As long as Tong Yan'er and Chang Hong didn't run around in panic and lay still on the deck, there wasn't much danger.

Immediately, a few people climbed to the bow of the ship despite the hail of bullets, opened the military backpack that was thrown on the ground, and quickly took out the firearm parts and assembled it. In less than a minute, they had a Type 97 sniper rifle in their hands, and they slipped away on their waists.

After arriving at the container, he took a few turns to occupy the commanding heights, ambush at a favorable sniper point, and search for the opponent's snipers.

Pirates are not scary, but the snipers among them are scary. He must find them as soon as possible and eliminate them, otherwise, the cargo ship may be in danger.
