Chapter 251: Robbers and Heroes (Toothache really hurts, I can't sleep) Poor asking for a monthly ti
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.
, covering his mouth with the other hand, and exerting 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 nearby room.
Room.
This is a luxury cruise ship with rooms everywhere.
"Pry open his mouth, I want to know what is going on 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.
For interrogators who focus on physical torture to obtain the information they want, generally speaking, few prisoners who pass through his hands can grit their teeth. Of course, it is also common 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, and Duke was brave.
But once I watched a goat being tortured, I couldn't sleep well for three whole days.
…
Time passed very 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 man said, they are indeed not good people. They are a group of robbers. The purpose of coming to this ship is naturally to rob. According to their boss Hanover, they are going to do something big this time. They
He planned to rob everyone on this ship, and then he could quit and everyone would 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 internal agent was, except for their boss Hanover,
Outside, no one knows.
The plan was very good. A large ship with no communication function was parked on the high seas without any security force, waiting for them to plunder.
Unfortunately, the plan went wrong at the beginning. They were robbers and they didn'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 was too fantasy.
Monster? And eats people?
On the other hand, Kai is very calm. He has seen many monsters that eat people? Which monster doesn’t eat people?
"You just need to tell me if the target person is still alive?" Kai doesn't care about monsters. Monsters? How scary can they be? Even if the monster doesn't come to him, he will go to find that monster. In any case, it is a rare one.
Experience package'. What he cares about now is the presidential candidate. If he dies, don't say anything, just install bombs everywhere on the ship, blowing up the monsters and the ship together. If he lives, they 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 is who." The goat shook his head.
"Okay, 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 uppermost top deck, driving deck and bottom deck, the other decks are entertainment and accommodation facilities.
The sixth deck is the most important deck, which includes various high-end casinos, clubs and restaurants, as well as several heated swimming pools. It is considered 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 tasks to everyone: "Me, Meatball, Duke, Portman in a group, Sage, Destroyer, Goat, and Imp in a group
, outflank this group of robbers from both sides of the central hall, remember to be precise and not cause unnecessary casualties! Especially the target person, protect him as soon as he discovers the target mission. Is it clear?"
"clear!"
"understand?"
"clear!"
"Very good, 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 Hannover to leave the cruise ship as soon as possible. They are already frightened. There are monsters here!
"Listen to me, we have to leave immediately, right now! Those monsters will come soon, and they will eat us all up. We must escape immediately. As long as you can take us away, I can give you money, a lot of money!
"
This is Simon, the owner of the cruise ship. He is a rich man. He has his own casino in Las Vegas and some properties in Washington. He is quite rich.
Unfortunately, his tactics were of no use to the robber leader.
Hannover and Simon have known each other for a long time. Simon is a casino operator. Anyone who opens a casino in Las Vegas will not be clean. Where is the largest money laundering site in the world? It’s in Las Vegas! Simon is
He is engaged in money laundering business. Hannover is one of his clients.
And this time Hanover came here to rob because of Simon's invitation.
Yes, Simon wanted to rob his own ship. This ship cost Simon about 500 million US dollars from construction, license, decoration to sailing. This caused serious problems in Simon's capital chain, even if the cruise ship made its maiden voyage.
It was full, but Simon still felt that he couldn't support it. You must know that the operating expenses of a cruise ship are astronomical.
Simon already owes a large amount of money to the bank. Although the proceeds from the cruise are large, they are not enough to raise money to pay the bank loan in a short period of 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, nor the gangs, nor the military, but the banks! American banks have penetrated into every aspect of American life.
For example, advance consumption, this consumption model is the masterpiece of banks. Almost everyone in the United States is carrying a loan. Even the rich are no exception. Once the loan is repaid, the bank will immediately take over the borrower's assets.
Relying on this, American bankers have made a lot of money. For example, Simon raised funds and spent several years building this cruise ship. In order to obtain the cruise ship license, he also consumed countless resources.
Whether it's material or personal. Then inviting casinos, restaurants, and various shops to the cruise ship also requires a lot of energy.
After he got everything done, the cruise ship set sail and started to make profits. But now the bank wants to take it all away.
To put it simply, all the work Simon did in the early stage was wasted by the bank!
This is a profit-making method for banks, which perfectly avoids the initial investment and enjoys the fruits directly.
It’s strange that Simon is willing to do so!
So he thought of a crooked trick, he planned to defraud his own cruise ship!
His original idea was very simple, which was to destroy the operating system of the cruise ship. As the world's largest cruise ship, the operating system on it is also the world's top, very complex, and very advanced, and is completely controlled by a central computer. But with all the high-precision technology
Same, very easy to be destroyed, such as blowing up the central computer.
Of course, that was too obvious, so he used a virus specially written for the central computer, which directly paralyzed the computer system on the cruise ship. As a result, all functions of the cruise ship were disabled.
This is only the first step. The second step is to let Hannover board the yacht, rob it, and then blow up the yacht. Of course, Simon did not kill everyone frantically. He just destroyed part of the cruise ship. Hannover prepared six bombs for this purpose.
The small torpedoes obtained from Russia are enough to disable the cruise ship, but will not destroy the entire cruise ship.
The reason why Simon did this is of course not to retaliate against society. What he wants is 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 compensate. At that time, not only can
By paying back the money to the bank, he can still make a lot of money, and then the cruise ship can be repaired and set sail again, and he can still make money!
It has to be said that American businessmen are not very good people either.
But Simon's plan does have high feasibility.
It's a pity that Simon encountered an accident just after he stopped the cruise ship.
The monster comes before Hanover!
Until now, Simon and the others 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 capacity of the cruise ship, which means that except for them, this person
Everyone on the ship is dead and finished!
"Yes, we are not far from the Chilean coastline now. As long as we leave here, we can use the satellite phone to call for help, and then we will be rescued!" The captain also tried his best to persuade Hanover.
"No!" But Hanover was unmoved. "I want to get my money, otherwise I won't go anywhere!"
Hanover almost spent all his savings to carry out this operation. Not to mention other things, the six torpedoes alone were worth more than 30 million! If he couldn't get the money, he would be bankrupt when he returned. That would be worse than death, which he couldn't accept.
"But after the electronic system was paralyzed, the safe has been locked! You can't open it now!" Simon almost collapsed. He didn't expect that the safe was actually connected to the central control computer. He was
The boss is not a security guard. How could he have known that he would end up like this?
"Then use violent means to open it!" Hannover said decisively.
There is no safe that cannot be opened. As long as conditions permit, an oxygen cutting machine can do it. But it is just time-consuming. The cruise ship's damage management department happens to have those equipment.
"But those equipment are all on the bottom deck!" Simon said helplessly. Who would put this kind of industrial equipment in the entertainment hall?
Hanover was also ruthless. He grinned, then took out his pistol and pointed it at the survivors. "Let them get it!"
He is not like Simon, who has a family, a business, and wants to return to the United States. He will not kill anyone at all. From now on, Hanover will remain anonymous, so killing is not a big deal for him.
A group of survivors immediately screamed and gathered together, like a herd of animals meeting a lion, hoping to increase their sense of security in this way. Unfortunately, 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 to cause 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 was that of a typical American decent protagonist. He was tall and strong, with a square face and a butt-shaped chin. Although I don't know where this weird aesthetic came from.
, but 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 go!"
"Oh! A brave man has appeared!" Hanover was very happy.
The man's female companion, probably his wife, was crying and trying to hold him back, and there was a five- or six-year-old boy who was also crying for his father. It seemed like they were a family.
"Sorry, dear, I have to stand up." The man looked at his wife and children apologetically, and said resolutely. He was very upright.
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! We can't let him go! Listen, man, you can't let him take risks!" But Simon was almost scared to death when he saw the man who stood up. "If something happens to him, you will be in trouble for the rest of your life."
The U.S. government is hunting us down!”
"Why?" Hanover asked.
"He's the Democratic presidential candidate!" Simon shouted, revealing 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. Experienced people would know at the first glance that they were three bursts of automatic rifle fire. This shooting method is to strike a balance between accuracy, rifle functional positioning and firepower density. It is the military
A very common shooting method.
Hanover also heard it, but it was a pity that 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 consecutive shots hit. One shot to the head, one to the heart, and the last one to
The black companions of Hanover.
Then other team members from the second floor of the central hall also opened fire. The gangsters wanted to fight back, but unfortunately Kai's team had already occupied the advantageous position. They were on the second floor and surrounded the robbers from a high position.
After a burst of continuous gunfire, four of the remaining seven robbers were killed on the spot. The other three robbers dropped their weapons and raised their hands the moment Kai and others opened fire.
"Clean!" Goat and Portman raised their thumbs to signal 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 controlled the three surrendered robbers.
"Benjamin Asher?" Kay asked formally.
Benjamin was a little dazed, everything happened so fast. In only about five seconds, all the gangsters who were showing off their power just now were killed! Even Benjamin's wife forgot to cover her son's eyes, letting the five-year-old kid
The child watched 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 instead snapped his fingers at the kid. The kid immediately took out an encrypted satellite phone from the pocket of his tactical vest. This phone was connected to the 'AWIS Army Global Military Command and Control/Information System' used by Kai.
They are not in the same satellite system, which also avoids trouble.
Kai wanted to report the progress of the mission to General Hawke and wait for the next action order. After they found Benjamin, they had to retreat according to the pre-planned plan. This required General Hawke to contact the surrounding ships for support. There are still more than forty people here.
Personally, 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 was a question to the kid. He was a correspondent and all the communication equipment was kept by him. Kai suspected that this kid had done something wrong and caused the satellite phone to break.
"How is that possible?" The kid immediately took the satellite phone. After trying it, he also used his own communication equipment 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 people were also confused. "No! We didn't do this. There is no signal shielding 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 is impossible that there is not even a satellite phone. Now I understand, it turns out that the satellite phone has become a decoration.
Kai didn't panic too much. This kind of thing is difficult, but it's 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 shouldn't be a problem if it takes some people with it.
But just when Kai was about to speak, there was a sudden sound of metal squeezing.
Kaz~Katz~
The team members immediately pointed their guns around, and everyone else silenced them in unison. 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 knew this sound, it was best to shut up and don't
