How can the chief engineer command all the staff on the ship? Especially the safety officers, who are responsible for the security of the cruise ship and should have their own bosses.
Clark Hugo was the first to express doubts.
However, all the die-hards who were controlled said they had not seen the captain and that the captain's orders were relayed by the chief engineer.
For this reason, Mike's first reaction was that maybe the captain, first mate and other management were controlled by the chief engineer, and that chief engineer was probably a pirate who had sneaked in.
Now the ship has almost lost power, which seems to be the result of the boiler shutting down the fuel supply.
So, Mike decided to go to the engine room first to explore the situation there.
After Clark heard this, he expressed his willingness to accompany them. Two renegade security officers from both sides also volunteered and asked for permission to join them.
The four people went there with weapons and soon arrived at the engine room.
Below, the huge mechanical equipment almost stopped moving. There were traces of fighting everywhere. Bodies were stuffed in various places, some were stuck in the gears, and the flesh was crushed. The scene was really bloody.
Continuing down, we came to the location of the boiler. The corpses of several boiler workers fell into the coal pile. The blood was mixed with the coal, and the color was no longer distinguishable.
Mike carefully probed inside. He heard some noises, raised his head and glanced above, and suddenly saw two living people tied to the inner pipe, with faces full of horror.
"It's the captain! And the first mate!"
The security officer who was following Mike recognized them and hurried over to rescue them. Suddenly a guy popped out from the corner, held up the detonator in his hand, kept shaking, and threatened them to retreat.
Half of that guy's body was covered in blood. He might have been stabbed in the fight just now.
He stared with bloodshot eyes and ordered several people to retreat.
The security officer immediately recognized the madman who hijacked the captain and first mate. He was the chief engineer. Mike's suspicion seemed to be confirmed.
"Back off! Don't come closer!"
"Put down the explosives!" Mike aimed his gun at the opponent's face.
The chief engineer stretched the detonator forward and roared ferociously: "Go away! Little boy, open your eyes and look around!"
As he finished speaking, Clark hit Mike with his elbow. Only then did Mike realize that there were some combustibles and explosives hidden in every corner.
"Blow this place first if you make me anxious! Everyone will die!"
The chief engineer's inexplicable madness really scared a few people. Mike calmed down and looked at the captain and first mate who were tied up behind him, and then looked at the dead bodies behind him, simulating the previous place in his mind.
The battle scene that took place.
The chief engineer must have had a conflict with the workers in the cabin below. He must have led many of his men to fight with the shipping staff in the boiler room and engine room, and both sides were ultimately injured.
But why were the captain and first mate kidnapped?
Mike was puzzled, but the situation in front of him was quite favorable to him, because the culprit was bleeding profusely and without other helpers, he would soon go into shock or even die due to excessive blood loss.
"calm down!"
Mike's secret transmission ability came into play. He told others not to move, while he threw away his pistol, raised his hands high, and moved forward.
This calm mood was transmitted to the chief engineer, preventing him from being impulsive and igniting explosives.
However, being calm also made the other person's thinking clearer, leading him to discover Mike's intention to approach him.
"If you take one more step forward, I will blow us all up to the sky!"
Mike stopped and looked at each other seriously.
"Tell me, sir, why did you do this?"
"Why..." The chief engineer's eyes almost popped out of his head, and the whites of his eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes.
He looked back at the captain and first mate, then turned back and said nervously: "I...I have to do this!"
"Is your plan to park the ship on the sea and wait for your accomplices to approach in a pirate ship?" Mike continued to question the other party.
The chief engineer was a little panicked and didn't notice that Mike silently moved half a foot forward as he spoke.
"me……"
He was on the verge of mental collapse, and due to the dizziness caused by bleeding, his speech gradually became incoherent.
"I'm not...I'm not..."
Whoosh!
Before he could finish his words, Mike threw the dagger hidden in his sleeve, and it hit the chief engineer between the eyebrows in an instant.
"pirate……"
After the chief engineer finished speaking, he fell over and died immediately.
His last words did not attract everyone's attention. Everyone's goal was to rescue the captain and first mate.
A safety officer went over to try to untie the rope that tied the first mate, but as soon as he made contact, he discovered that the rope was not tied at all.
This is an illusion!
The crewman didn't react. The first mate suddenly inserted a knife into his neck and pulled it out instantly. Blood spurted out.
"Don't blame me...it's the fault of those heretics!"
The first mate trembled and pushed away the bodies of the crew members, and the captain also took off his disguise and shot Mike with a backhand shot.
Mike squatted on the ground holding his head. When he raised his face, he saw the first mate and the captain running to the hatch inside. After hiding in, they closed the hatch.
With a violent explosion, the explosives buried in a corner were detonated. The iron pieces brought out by the impact cut off the head of another security officer and cut Clark's leg.
Unexpectedly, the masterminds behind the scenes were actually the captain and his first mate. Mike couldn't figure out the other party's motives, but there was no time. There was a hole in the hull of the ship, and seawater poured into the cabin. Mike could only help Clark first.
channel movement.
Fortunately, the captain and the others only detonated the explosive in one place, which did not cause much damage to the hull. As long as the hatches on both sides were closed tightly, the cruise ship would not sink.
However, the failure of the boiler room is almost impossible to repair, and the cruise ship will eventually stop on the sea and drift to unknown seas with the ocean currents.
After helping Clark out, before Mike had time to rest, he was attacked by the captain and first mate.
The opponent seemed to have run out of bullets, but when he came out of the corner, he caught Mike off guard.
Mike didn't expect that they didn't run away.
Perhaps he wanted to kill people below and then return to the deck to continue deceiving everyone. The captain and the first mate played a dangerous game.
The captain slashed Mike's head with a fire ax, but he narrowly avoided it. Then Mike slammed into the captain's chest and knocked him over. However, the addition of the first mate made it difficult for Mike to fight against the two men at the same time.
Clark's leg was scratched, and it was difficult to provide support to Mike. He could only pick up debris on the ground and throw it at them.
At this moment of intense fighting, a streak of white hair suddenly caught Mike's eye.
The thin steel wire was put around the first mate's neck, and then his body flew up, hanging in mid-air.
The first mate kept struggling with his legs, clutching his neck with both hands, his throat was tightened, his trachea was pinched, and he would soon suffocate.
When the captain saw this, he was so frightened that he kept backing up. His voice trembled and he said: "This is wrong... Sir... we are forced... It's those pagans who are still waiting in my room to see the joke."
!You understand! It’s not my fault!”
He yelled at Mike, but the white-haired demon hunter behind Mike had already rushed in front of Mike and hit the captain on the head with the fire ax he had just picked up.
