The lifeboat was getting closer and closer. The outline of the ship could be seen with the naked eye, and the sound of the waves breaking became louder and louder in the ears. It was like a ferocious beast rushing towards us.

The sharp-eyed sailor murmured doubtfully: "Isn't that our lifeboat?"

"Mr. Kirima, have you sent someone over?"

The six sailors on the ship looked at each other and saw puzzled expressions in each other's eyes.

One of the sailors suggested: "Should we stop the ship and wait for them to come over?"

This statement was recognized by most people.

"If it was sent by Mr. Kirima, then why didn't you reply to us before?" The sailor who sent the message with light not long ago frowned and looked hesitant.

But another older sailor glanced at Maori Kogoro and Ross and whispered, "I guess he doesn't want them to know."

Several sailors thought about it for a moment and nodded slightly.

At this time, the speed of the lifeboat gradually slowed down, and the helmsman turned to look at another lifeboat that was approaching the stern.

"The ship slowed down?" Rose frowned. In addition to the helmsman, there were six sailors on the ship. If the ship was really sent by the Kirima family, it would be really bad. No, she had to act quickly.

Maori Kogoro saw Ross was about to leave and quickly grabbed his sleeve, "Where are you going?"

"The situation is not..."

Before Ross could finish his words, gunshots suddenly rang out.

Bullets rained down on the lifeboat that Maori Kogoro was in. A row of bullets hit the railing on one side of the lifeboat, and the metal railing was instantly shattered, with fragments flying everywhere.

Kogoro Mori and Ross quickly bent down to avoid the attack, but the six sailors were not so lucky, and two of them were hit by bullets.

The bullet whizzed through the air, and the sailor who was hit in the chest fell into the arms of his companion, opened his mouth, and lost his life in extreme shock.

A series of tongues of fire appeared on the deck of the opposite ship, and bullets drew arcs on the sea.

"Aren't they here to help us?" The sailor, his hands stained with blood, looked at his companions around him, while bullets were flying over his head.

Ping Pong Pong...

Bullets rained down on them. They definitely couldn't stay on the deck any longer, so the remaining five sailors dodged the bullets and quickly rushed to the cabin.

The helmsman, noticing something was wrong, quickly turned the steering wheel, and the lifeboat drew an "S"-shaped trajectory on the sea. The boat undulated with the waves, and the splashing white waves were like its angry roar.

The bullets hit the sea surface, splashing white water, as if they were flowers of death blooming on the sea.

Bang bang bang!

After a few gunshots, the cockpit glass shattered instantly.

The flying glass fragments scratched the helmsman's arm, and blood gushed out instantly.

Immediately afterwards, several bullets whizzed past and the helmsman bent down to avoid them. However, the space in the cockpit was limited and a bullet flew past the helmsman's scalp and hit an equipment box on his side, causing sparks to fly inside the box.

The sea was filled with a thick smell of gunpowder.

Maori Kogoro leaned forward slightly and saw a heavy sniper rifle on the deck of the similar lifeboat spitting out a series of flames. "We can't just passively take the beating like this. We have to think of a way."

The two lifeboats raced through the darkness, the deafening roar of their engines shattering the silence of the night.

"They have weapons, but we have nothing." Ross was secretly anxious.

Maori Kogoro saw the blood on the deck, his eyes widened, and then his brows frowned, "Let's go to the cabin!"

Ross dodged the bullet, looked up at the hang glider in the dark night sky, and frowned.

"Now is not the time to worry about the gems. The most important thing is to save your life."

"Yes." Ross followed Maori Kogoro, "If we can't get the gem, it's hard to say whether we can survive."

Kogoro Mouri's heart skipped a beat, and he thought of Xiaolan and Eri.

However, Ross was worried about what kind of punishment he would receive if he returned to the organization empty-handed.

Both of them entered the cabin with heavy hearts.

The supplies that had been organized in the cabin were now scattered all over the floor. A sailor who had been shot in the abdomen was being bandaged, but the shaking ship made the originally simple action extremely difficult.

"They look like they want to kill us." A sailor stood by the window and looked out secretly. A string of bullets flew in and the glass shattered. If he hadn't dodged in time, he would have been disfigured.

Ross glanced around, "Are there any weapons?"

The five sailors were silent. The injured sailor looked pale. If he could not get treatment, he would probably die in this lifeboat.

Maori Kogoro clenched his fists and said, "Where is the satellite phone? We should ask for help instead of fighting among ourselves. If we continue like this, we will all die here."

The sailor with blood on his hands looked at Maori Kogoro and said, "The satellite phone is in the cockpit."

"The ship seems to be slowing down!" An older sailor noticed something was wrong, and everyone's heart was in their throat.

Kogoro Mori was about to rush to the cockpit without thinking, but was stopped by a young sailor.

"Are you desperate for your life?!"

Maori Kogoro shook off the hand that was restraining him, looked at the young sailor, and said in a deep voice: "If we don't do something, we will all die here. That ship is very likely an accomplice of the guy in the sky, and..."

The older sailor handed his injured companion to the others and looked at Maori Kogoro, "I will go with you. I have experience in sailing ships and I am familiar with the waters here."

"Yes." Maori Kogoro nodded solemnly, glanced at everyone, and said seriously, "We must work together to survive."

However, Ross and the other four sailors just looked at each other, their eyes sparking in the air, but fortunately no one said anything, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

At this time, the speed of the lifeboat was getting slower and slower, and the ship behind was about to catch up. Kogoro Mori and the older sailor quickly rushed out of the cabin and ran towards the cockpit.

Dense bullets formed a web in the air.

After running all the way, the two men arrived at the cockpit and saw the helmsman lying in a pool of blood. Black smoke was already coming out of many instruments.

The experienced old sailor quickly controlled the boat, the bow of the lifeboat was raised high, and the speed was increased to the extreme. He turned the steering wheel and drew an "S" curve on the sea.

Kogoro Mori picked up the fire extinguisher and rushed to rescue, but saw the satellite phone shattered by a bullet.

"Hey! Are you okay?" Kogoro Mori tried to wake up the helmsman, but a whistling bullet whizzed past his ear and hit the old sailor's arm.

A gorgeous red spider lily bloomed instantly.

The old sailor growled in pain and steered the boat to avoid a volley of bullets.

"We can't go on like this. We have to find a way." Kogoro Mori looked at the old sailor.

The old sailor narrowed his eyes. "There is a way, but it is very dangerous. How is he?"

Maori Kogoro slowly removed his hand from the helmsman's carotid artery and said in a low voice, "We are late..."

"Damn it!" An angry voice came out from between the old sailor's teeth.

Kogoro Mori glared at the approaching ship and curled his fingers into fists. If he had the chance, he would bring all these criminals to justice!

The old sailor reminded in a deep voice: "Hold on! There are reefs ahead. I don't believe they are more familiar with this area than I am."

After saying that, the lifeboat turned sharply and headed towards the shallow waters.

Seeing this, the ships following behind chased after it without hesitation.

The old sailor controlled the lifeboat to turn left and right, trying to keep some distance; however, the ship behind was still chasing closely, firing from time to time.

In the hail of bullets, the old sailor controlled the lifeboat and gradually approached a sea area with dense reefs, turbulent waves and many dangers. However, at this time they had no choice, perhaps they could win a glimmer of hope here, so they resolutely drove the lifeboat to the dangerous area.

The two lifeboats rushed into the reefs one after another.

The waves here are even more violent, and the lifeboat is shaking violently among the reefs, as if it will be swallowed by the sea at any time.

Relying on his superb driving skills and familiarity with the waters, the old sailor carefully steered the lifeboat through the narrow passage.

However, the ship following closely behind seemed to be very familiar with the waters and followed behind with ease.

"Oh no! They have grenades!" Kogoro Mouri saw an object flashing with cold light being thrown towards them.

The old sailor didn't bother to dodge the bullets and directly pushed the speed to the maximum.

With a loud roar, the sea between the two lifeboats was illuminated by flashes and flames, huge waves were surging, and the ship was shaking constantly.

"Uh..." The old sailor covered his abdomen, but scarlet color came out from between his fingers.

"you……"

"Don't worry about me, go to the cabin. I'm worried about water ingress." The old sailor glanced at Maori Kogoro and said, "I can still hold on. Ask them to throw away some supplies."

Kogoro Mouri clenched his back teeth, stared at the scarlet color, then turned and ran towards the cabin.

The old sailor looked at the lifeboat that was chasing him closely and grinned, "I have lived for so long and never expected to meet an opponent. Let's see who is more powerful."

boom!

A grenade exploded on the right side of the lifeboat, causing a huge splash and the hull shook violently.

Kogoro Mori fell into the cabin and saw several sailors struggling to block the gap in the side of the ship. Rose was rummaging through a pile of cargo for tools to fight back. She didn't believe that Kirima, the arms dealer, didn't hide any guns and ammunition in this lifeboat.

The young sailor kept using tools to repair the inner wall of the cabin, but the freezing cold sea water rushed in from the cracks, and the ship behind him was getting closer and closer.

"Isn't that our lifeboat?" The sailor with blood on his hands stared at the ship not far away.

The sailor with severe abdominal injuries was no longer able to support his body and fell into the cold sea water. A trickle of bright red blood flowed out from the bullet hole. "Why are you killing us too?"

"In order to kill me, you all became abandoned pawns." Ross glanced at the seriously injured sailor and continued to search for a handy weapon.

Maori Kogoro quickly rushed to the seriously injured sailor, fished him out of the sea, placed him in a relatively high place, looked at his pale face, pursed his lips, and asked, "What is your plan?"

All the sailors glanced at Kogoro Mori, no one responded, and the breath of death quickly spread among them.

"It's already late! We have to cooperate, otherwise we will all die!" Maori Kogoro pointed at the approaching ship, "It's just a similar ship, is it definitely sent by the Kirima family?"

The sailor who sent the signal earlier looked at the sea water under his feet and said, "We are not mistaken. That is indeed the lifeboat configured by the Augus cruise ship. We are all familiar with it..."

boom!

The ship shook and more and more sea water poured into the cabin.

The sailor with a serious abdominal injury looked at Maori Kogoro and said, "Don't worry about me. I know my situation well. Mr. Kirima asked us to protect you because you are his savior. As for the lady next to you..."

"Heh." Ross sneered, "You want to kill me, right?"

The silent silence let Kogoro Maori know that what Ross said was what they wanted to do.

"Even if they want to kill you, they haven't done it yet!" Maori Kogoro pointed at the lifeboat at the stern that was chasing them. "Now they are the ones who want to kill us. We must unite!"

Kogoro Mori began to discard supplies, trying to reduce the weight of the hull so that the lifeboat could travel faster. He also hoped that the boxes floating on the water would interfere with and hinder the ships behind.

As the goods were thrown out one by one, Maori Kogoro's eyes suddenly widened, "Diesel! There is a way!"

"any solution?!"

"Of course, the way to fight back against them is."

Ross looked at Maori Kogoro and said, "You want to light the diesel and throw it onto the ship behind?"

The sailor with blood on his hands also thought of this plan, "The distance between the two ships must be very close, otherwise there is no threat to them at all."

"They also have guns..." The young sailor couldn't help but tremble, perhaps because the sea water was too cold, or perhaps because of fear.

The sailor with a serious abdominal injury gritted his teeth, made up his mind, looked at his partner, and decided to go all out, "I'll go."

"Bane!" The sailor with blood on his hands looked at the seriously injured sailor.

However, the sailor called Bane just smiled while covering his wound and looked at the young sailor, "Ace, you are fast, go tell Old York, he should understand."

The young sailor Ace bit his lip and rushed into the cockpit under the dense bullets.

The seriously injured Bane found a cigarette that was not soaked, and took out his lighter but couldn't light it.

Kogoro Mori stepped forward to help light the cigarette.

Bane was holding a cigarette and preparing to leave with Diesel in his arms. He looked back at his two good brothers in the cabin and smiled calmly, "You must work hard to survive."

However, no one in the cabin responded.

Dense bullets hit the side of the ship, and the shaking lifeboat seemed like it could collapse at any time.

In the cockpit, Old York sat on the ground, covering his wound, teaching Ace how to drive the lifeboat, and was about to be caught up.

Old York stood up, pushed Ace aside, and gripped the steering wheel with his bloody hands. Seeing Bane appear on the deck, he cursed inwardly, "Really? It's so late, and he still hasn't forgotten to smoke." Then he grinned, suddenly made a sharp turn, and rushed straight towards the lifeboat behind.

The two lifeboats formed a dangerous hedge on the sea, like two angry bulls about to engage in a life-and-death duel.

As dense bullets came at him, Old York narrowed his eyes.

Just when the two lifeboats were about to collide, the helmsmen on both sides were desperately turning the rudders, and the two lifeboats drew two arcs on the sea, passing each other.

At this moment, Maori Kogoro saw the people on the opposite boat clearly...
