Anna gradually regained consciousness, her eyelids moved slightly, trying to open her eyes.
"Oh, my God, you finally woke up."
Anna finally opened her eyes, and a huge figure came into view, and Andre was looking at her with worry.
"Thank you, Andre."
Andre said happily: "Haha, this is the second time today that you have said thank you to me. Did I hear you correctly? After all this time, I have only heard you say it once when I gave you a gun last time."
Anna looked around the surrounding environment. This was a small room on the first floor of the research room. The door had been blown down, and many members of the Tiansong team could be seen gathered outside the door, sitting on the ground to rest.
"How did you arrive so quickly?" Anna asked Andre.
Andre then explained to Anna that in order to save time, Zhu Sui'an and Andre changed the meeting place directly from land to sea, which greatly saved time. Moreover, Zhu Sui'an did not know that the battleship passed by Andre's
After the modification, the speed was increased from the previous 26 knots to 32 knots, so it was much earlier than Zhu Suian's previous estimate.
Anna supported her body and wanted to get up, and Andre quickly stepped forward to help her. After Anna's body stabilized, she gently pushed Andre's arm back and walked out of the house.
Seeing Anna looking around, a team member stepped forward and asked: "Chairman Anna, Instructor Zhu and the others are on the second floor. Are you looking for them?"
Anna nodded and slowly walked towards the second floor. Andre immediately followed after seeing this.
When they arrived on the second floor, they saw Zhu Suian, Lei Xiong, Ying Long, Liu Kui and others sitting around with three pirates talking about something. There was actually a lot of fast food and drinks on the table.
Does this mean serving delicious food and drink? Anna's eyebrows raised slightly and said: "What are you doing?!"
After some understanding, Anna realized that this group of pirates was not the same group that destroyed the weather station before. On the contrary, they were bewitched by those people and thought that Anna had brought rich resources and wealth, so they came to prepare to rob.
One ticket.
"Even this is unforgivable. Our ten brothers cannot die in vain." Anna angrily took out the sand eagle from her body and quickly loaded it.
When the three pirates saw their turn, they huddled up in fear and hid behind Zhu Sui'an and others.
Zhu Suian grabbed Anna's gun and stopped her.
"I know that our team members suffered heavy losses. 10 people were killed and 5 were seriously injured. Only 6 people are left to fight. But listen to me. You are the person in charge of this operation. For those who want to kill them, we must
You can stay as long as you like."
Hearing what Zhu Suian said, Anna calmed down temporarily.
Then, Zhu Sui'an told Anna that the pirates had agreed to surrender. Not only did they provide information about the destruction of the monitoring station, they were also willing to help Anna deal with those who destroyed the monitoring station.
Anna thought for a while and expressed that she still had some doubts and did not believe that these pirates would sincerely surrender.
Zhu Suian turned around and said to the three pirates in English: "She still doesn't believe you."
The pirates immediately panicked and explained: "This time, more than ten of our people died. They deceived us, and we also want to avenge this."
Another pirate also said: "But there are people behind them, so we don't dare to confront them head-on."
"Who is behind them?" Anna wondered.
"we do not know."
Seeing that Anna was a little dissatisfied, another pirate immediately said: "There are two types of pirates here. One type is supported by some international powers and has formed a large-scale organized gang. The other type is generally residents of surrounding poor countries, because
War, poverty, and desperation forced them to gang up and go to sea to engage in robbery. This type of people are often relatively weak and lack organization. They are pirates when they rob, and they become ordinary people when they return to the shore."
Anna: "You are the second category, right?"
"Yes, but we are relatively strong in this category." A pirate leader emphasized, obviously fearing that Anna would dislike him for being too weak.
Anna: "How many of you are there?"
Pirate: "There are about 40 people left this time. If we go back to land, it won't be a problem to bring in another 20 people at any time."
Anna: "What about them?"
The three pirates looked at each other and then said: "They have been stationed on a desert island for a long time. Their number is by no means less than a hundred. More importantly, they are well-equipped with weapons and equipment, including many heavy weapons."
Anna smiled contemptuously: "Then you still dare to take revenge?"
At this time, one of the pirates was obviously dissatisfied. He stood up bitterly and his eyes became determined: "If you can give me support, I can be like them."
Anna looked at the pirate in front of her strangely and asked, "Who are you?"
The pirate introduced himself: "My name is Abuba, and I am their leader. If you can support me, I will definitely become stronger than all the pirates here. Of course, I will always surrender to you."
Anna tasted Abuba's words carefully and said after a long time: "Okay, I will provide you with all the resources you need from now on."
"How can that work!" Zhu Sui'an immediately objected: "Anna, how can we collude with these pirates?"
Anna glanced at Zhu Sui'an and smiled: "What? Didn't you say you wanted to cooperate with them?"
Zhu Sui'an: "I just asked them to cooperate with us to destroy those enemies, not to recruit them. This would be different in nature."
Anna ignored Zhu Sui'an and said to the three pirates: "In the future, I will regularly provide you with funds, weapons, ammunition, and some special help. However, I don't want to recruit you. I just need that in this area from now on, you can
Just provide protection for our personnel and goods, and assist us in all our actions in this area. Of course, if you do a good job, I will give you additional rewards."
Abuba and the other two looked at each other and excitedly agreed to Anna's request.
Anna then turned back to look at Zhu Sui'an and said, "How about this? Do you have any objection to this arrangement?"
Before Zhu Sui'an spoke, Anna immediately said: "It's useless even if you have an opinion, I have already decided."
Zhu Sui'an shook his head and sighed. He knew that no matter what he said, Anna would not change her mind, but this arrangement was still acceptable, so he no longer objected.
Then, everyone discussed how to deal with the pirates who destroyed the monitoring station. However, after some research, they found that there were many problems.
Since the other party can know that Anna and others came to the island and instigated Abuba to attack the island, it means that the other party is very clear about the situation here. Including the course of this battle, they may not be able to hide it from the other party, so now they are still in the open
, and the opponent is in the dark. If you attack rashly, you may fall into their trap and suffer a big loss.
Even if the opponent's strength is not as powerful as imagined, if they attack with such a big fanfare, the opponent will have already received the news and run away, and it will be impossible to achieve the goal.
After discussing for a long time, no one reached an agreement. At this time, Anna suddenly thought of something and said: "We have been discussing and discussing, and all the time has been wasted. There is no perfect way in this world. Everything should be taken one step at a time. Since
If the other party can know our situation, then we will compete with them and attack them tonight to catch them off guard."
Soon, Anna and everyone discussed the battle strategy, and everyone started preparing separately.
Zhu Sui'an was in charge of this operation, and Anna was still in charge of the left-behind research institute. So Anna immediately took people around to check the status of the research institute, and organized and restored the monitoring equipment again.
"Miss Anna, is there anything you need me to do?"
Anna discovered that the previously injured researcher Peter came to her.
"Peter, you're injured, why don't you go rest."
Pete smiled and said: "I'm just slightly injured. Everyone is busy, and I want to help. I can't fight, but I can still do some labor and repair."
Anna looked at Peter with admiration and said, "Well done. If your body can hold on, maybe I have something more important that you need to do."
Pete's eyes shone and he said, "I'm fine, I don't know what's important."
Anna took Peter to her room, took out a hard drive and handed it to Peter and said, "You have participated in the preparation of reports before. I remember you said that the main problem now is the lack of original data support, right?"
Peter looked at the hard drive in confusion: "Yes, what do you mean?"
Liao Na pointed to the hard drive and said: "At the last monitoring point, the company's technicians have completed the equipment repair and successfully restored some data. This is the recovered data. In addition, I just received the news that other data will be released soon."
recover."
Peter was surprised: "What? Wasn't the original data of those sites completely destroyed by pirates? The copy we had was also snatched away by them."
Anna smiled coldly: "Those pirates understand the structure of these high-end precision instruments. When they see the equipment being blown up, they think that the data cannot be recovered."
Peter finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "That's really lucky, lucky..."
Anna suddenly said seriously: "Peter, I will give you these data, and you can see if you can compile the report again as soon as possible. If possible, I will ask them to send all the remaining data."
"Yes, yes, definitely yes..." Peter affirmed.
"Okay, I'll notify them now and it can be delivered early tomorrow morning."
Peter was happily preparing to check the data, but Anna suddenly stopped him again.
"Miss Anna, do you have any other instructions?"
Anna looked at the hard drive nervously and said seriously: "It took a lot of effort to recover this data and there is only one copy of it. You must be careful that if something goes wrong again, the data will really be gone."
Peter smiled and said: "Don't worry, Miss Anna, I will be careful. When all the data is delivered, I will first find a way to make a backup copy, and then start sorting out the report."
Anna nodded reassuringly: "Okay, go ahead. Pay attention to your health and don't be too tired."
Peter came to the studio without stopping and connected the data to the computer. After careful comparison and inspection, Peter finally showed a smile: "The data has really been restored."
