Chapter 1713: Chapter 29: Consecutive Ambush
The destination of the fifth station is San Francisco, Arica. Since Mu Nianqi chose the free route, this segnt across the Pacific can only be traveled by ship, so even if Dantai wanted to change, it’s impossible now.
“Hurry to the second level cargo hold and ensure the cargo is safe!”
Seeing the slender and powerful handwriting on the note, Dantai standing on the rear deck imdiately took action.
“Soone!” Bai Guo was startled; sure enough, soone wanted to take advantage of the gap in handover ti to check the cargo Mu Nianqi had prepared.
Shua, Dantai jumped directly from the three-ter-high shelf, holding a handgun in both hands, angrily shooting at the prey, this was equipnt brought by Queen Mu.
Seeing the situation was untenable, survivors retreated.
In the fifth relay, every team sent either the deputy leader or the absolute main force. Originally, everyone thought the battle would be extrely intense, but it turned out to be a period of dormancy instead.
“Just wait and see. It’s only a matter of ti. These are strong contenders; once they move, it will be like a powerful thunderbolt!”
Jiang Xiuming tasted similar sensations before; experts in combat never rushed for a mont, just like ferocious beasts lurking quietly, waiting for prey to make a mistake, they would hunt without hesitation, giving no chance for escape or counterattack.
Day by day, the cruise ship was eerily quiet; though there was no fighting, the danger was much greater than previous rounds, because pairs of eyes watched you from the shadows, leaving barely any ti for a break.
“Can’t wait anymore, must find out what the deputy leader of the Warhamr team is up to!”
The temporary alliance gathered again, discussing how to deal with Dantai. These days, he’s been in the cargo hold, guarding several big boxes, even a fool knows sothing is up.
“Setting up a deceptive array? Maybe it’s just to stir our curiosity, baiting us into the trap to kill us when we check.”
“No, reverse psychology, he’s completely using our ntality, scaring them from daring to seek him out, so he can be at ease.”
“Why bother with so much thought? If you’re really uneasy, just go check, right? With so many people together, even Yan Chiyang would have to flee, right?”
After saying this, the guy imdiately noticed the look of idiocy everyone gave him, imdiately dissatisfied, “Am I wrong in saying this?”
“That person is the Warhamr team’s deputy leader, a mastermind who was the second to achieve a perfect record in the first round survival room; do you think he could be as dumb as you?”
Reputation precedes them; not to ntion Special Agent’s uncovered past battle achievents, just in the first round survival room, he proved many tis over he can surpass many.
“Then wait for the next assassin to enter, we’ll all go, I refuse to believe he can withstand it!”
Without checking, the temporary alliance remains uneasy.
“Cancel the assassin!” Bai Guo clasped hands in prayer, but unfortunately, the Trojan Horse Ga doesn’t change according to Natural Stupid’s will.
“Please note, each team can dispatch one mber as an assassin to enter the ga to snipe or support team mbers!”
Once the Trojan announcent sounded, prepared survivors imdiately entered, then congregated with the contestants, heading straight for the cargo hold.
Dantai and Mu Nianqi couldn’t handle enemies on all sides alone and could only temporarily relocate.
“Let’s see what’s inside?” A curious alliance mber’s heart felt like it was being clawed by a cat these days, ready to die from curiosity; he kicked open the wooden box, but in the next second, froze.
Inside the wooden box, piled high with explosives, steel balls, iron scraps, was completely a powder keg, no need to ask, this was surely a trap.
Others turned their gaze, then simultaneously spat out a curse word.
“Shit!”
Just finishing cursing, a deafening explosion sound erupted, scorching fire waves spread around, engulfing them.
Even wearing protective clothing, the head had no protection, even if not burned to death, those steel balls and iron scraps were more than enough to inflict punishnt.
“As expected, a trap, Warhamr team is really treacherous, actually playing this hand again!”
The temporary alliance suffered a small defeat, taking down several assassins with them; if not for others being extrely cautious and keeping a distance from the explosive wooden box, surely the casualties would be higher.
“See? They clearly had deception in mind, yet you insisted on checking it out.” One delivered a hindsight comnt, “Since we’re all on the ship, surely arriving at the sa ti, what’s the point in killing them? Might as well be more prudent.”
Dantai’s big explosion killed many people and also increased the Warhamr team’s points considerably.
“Warhamr team is not easy to provoke, better off killing small fry!”
Half the teams can’t afford points to drive away onlookers, so this ambush was witnessed by many, after which they held deep caution for the Warhamr team.
If not obscured by the iron curtain, Vasily would have given Mu Nianqi a big thumbs up, truly comndable.
Substitutes for deceased contestants were confined to the small dark room for a day, and then according to the rules, teleported to the ship at least separated by a day’s journey, however, the overall number of contestants on Dantai’s cruise ship did not decrease because the leading group ahead was also in heated battle, continuously supplented.
The fifth group of the Seed Team has taken the stage. They’re all part of the Powerful Party, aiming for victory while eliminating as many enemies as possible.
After an explosion, nobody dares to provoke Dantai anymore. He’s started to take the initiative, constantly harassing the contestants, keeping their nerves on edge.
The team mbers of the second group are all cursing. Dantai is like an annoying dog; whenever there’s a chance, he rushes in for a sneak attack, fires a shot, and if he can’t kill, he imdiately retreats.
This frequent harassnt is driving the contestants to the brink of ntal exhaustion.
With three days left until reaching San Francisco, Mu Nianqi can’t help but furrow her eyebrows.
“What’s wrong?” Li Xinlan asks with concern.
“Even if it’s just an explosive ambush, Dantai doesn’t need to show up, right?” Jiang Xiuming is confused, yet when he asks Queen Mu, she doesn’t answer. He feels Tang Zheng might have guessed the answer, but this guy keeps his mouth shut, which is truly infuriating.
“Dantai’s actions are half a day later than expected!” Mu Nianqi’s tone is cold, “This guy is too cautious. He must have chosen a safe distance where even if sothing goes wrong, it can be redied in ti!”
Queen Mu certainly doesn’t think the special agent is afraid of dying, so that only leaves this answer.
“Let’s wait a bit longer, have faith; Dantai has never let anyone down.” Tang Zheng remains calm; even if there’s no advantage, he will give his all in the last leg.
Since the special agent won’t have issues, Tang Zheng ducks into the tent to continue writing the plan book, considering every possibility.
Three hours later, Xu Biyun rushes over, calling Tang Zheng to look at the screen.
“What’s wrong?” Tang Zheng stuffs the paper filled with writing into his pocket.
“A storm is coming.” The gaming girl is anxious.
“Up and down the ocean, it’s normal, right!” Tang Zheng finishes speaking, his expression tenses, and he steps forward, wanting to quickly run towards the screen but restrains himself, not wanting other teams to discern any flaw. “Could it be Dantai is starting to take action?”
Xu Biyun wants to say sothing, but Tang Zheng quickly makes a silent gesture.
The other team mbers hear the word storm, confused but not paying much heed. Given current shipbuilding technology, encountering a storm is indeed challenging.
On the screen, sporadic raindrops are already hitting the deck, the clouds in the sky are turbulent, soon to unleash a torrential downpour.
All the contestants hide in the cabin; in such bad weather, they won’t risk going out to kill.
Yet, Dantai acts unusually, moving towards the inconspicuous box in the corner, then dragging it, rushing to the deck as fast as possible.
For Conquerors with strengthened bodies, dragging over three hundred pounds is effortless, which gives Dantai the confidence to act.
Racing to the pre-selected front deck, he opens the wooden box, secures the basket, pulls out the balloon stuffed inside to spread it out, assembles the burner, umbrella valve, and control ropes, then connects the burner to the hydrogen tank with a hose, sealing it with tape.
The hydrogen tank was pre-fixed inside the basket, saving a lot of ti. During these days, Dantai inspected the hot air balloon no less than three tis, ensuring no oversights.
“A hot air balloon? Are you planning to fly to Arica?” Jiang Xiuming is astonished but soon impressed and praises, “Indeed, at this distance, the hot air balloon can definitely fly to San Francisco, and it’s going to be three tis faster than a cruise ship.”
“We’re going to leave them behind.” Xu Biyun and Tao Ran are happy, but soon they are cooled down by Lu Fan.
“In such bad weather, is Dantai planning to risk his life?” The Little Lolita shudders at the sight of the storm-whipped sea waves, let alone being in the midst of them like the special agent Dantai.
The sky is still thundering, and if it were an average person, they’d have hidden away in the cabin long ago.
“There’s no choice; the flight has to be now, otherwise, the contestants will spot it. By then, without needing to co close, they can shoot a few bullets and ruin the hot air balloon, making the entire plan futile.” Gu Xueqi believes Dantai and Mu Nianqi are very good.
Indeed, they formulated a plan but hid the hot air balloon elsewhere. Dantai guarded other wooden boxes, effectively deceiving other contestants, and with an explosion, got them to completely relax their vigilance, killing off any thoughts of prying.
Now, Dantai can finally act boldly.
“I planned to let him take off when the punishnt troops attack, so other contestants won’t bother with him!” Mu Nianqi is amazed by Dantai’s audacity. She’s already guessed the special agent’s subsequent plan; this guy intends to have a big fight.
“It’s not good; what if punishnt troops appear during the flight?” Bai Guo is worried.
“The probability is very low; for these dozens of days, I’ve sumd up the pattern of their appearance, roughly every three days. Even if it’s not accurate, the female expert with the samurai sword just appeared twelve hours ago, so in the next two days, it should be safe.”
Mu Nianqi has already considered all these.
“Hope Dantai doesn’t get hit by lightning.” Chu Baichuan prays.
“Shut up, don’t jinx it!” Ai Yixin quickly pinches her husband’s arm.
“You must have prepared other asures, right? With Dantai’s character, he absolutely won’t let the rest off lightly!” Tang Zheng isn’t too worried, as long as they take off before the storm arrives, escaping the rain zone, the danger isn’t considerable.
