Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

Chapter 229 Boarding the Ship

"Ah! The pirates are talking! Quick, think of a way to escape!"

"Wuu wuu wuu... I don't want to die yet!"

"Mom and Dad, come and save me!"

After the broadcast ended, the deck was filled with wails and cries, and it became chaotically noisy in an instant.

"Everyone calm down! Don't panic!" Ouyang Lingtian yelled loudly when he saw that the crowd was unable to control their emotions.

But his words had no effect.

They had known about the alarm beforehand, so they hadn't panicked.

But now, they had encountered real pirates, and four helicopters had already been destroyed.

How could they remain calm?

"Everyone, don't panic, with Young Master Ouyang here, nothing will happen! Everyone, get to the cabin first!"

Seeing everyone in disarray, Uncle Fu immediately stepped up to help.

Upon hearing Uncle Fu's words, the crowd's hope rose slightly, and they all rushed into the cabin.

"Xia Liu, take Miss Fei and Yazhi inside to take cover for a while."

"Uncle Fu, you should come in too. Dozens of bodyguards along with Ouyang Lingtian should definitely be able to handle it."

Xia Liu was very worried about Uncle Fu being outside; he had just recovered and considering the scale of combat.

The long-retired Uncle Fu might not be very useful.

"Yeah, Uncle Fu, come with us," Lin Yazhi and Fang Fei also insisted worriedly.

"With Xia Liu protecting you, it should be fine. I need to stay with them to repel the pirates," Uncle Fu said with confidence.

Seeing Uncle Fu's attitude, Xia Liu and Fang Fei no longer protested, and they quickly entered the cabin.

"Kid, the challenge between you and me was doomed to fail before it even started," Ouyang Lingtian said disdainfully as Xia Liu passed by him.

"Don't talk big too soon, figure out a way to deal with that pirate ship," Xia Liu replied sternly.

Considering the people on the ship, facing potentially numerous and well-equipped pirates, it was really a matter of seeking blessings.

"Hmph! I will repel the pirates now and show you how big the gap between us is!"

With a cold snort, Ouyang Lingtian immediately issued an order: "Everyone, prepare for battle!"

Uncle Fu opened a box containing firearms and picked out a few suitable ones.

Although it had been many years since he had handled firearms, Uncle Fu was no joker.

The moment he took hold of the sniper rifle, his whole body's blood boiled.

After selecting their weapons, Ouyang Lingtian began to position everyone.

Continue your saga on empire

Inside the hall, everyone was uneasy.

Some were crying, some were laying on the ground pretending to be dead.

Some ran into the rooms to hide.

In contrast, Xia Liu, Fang Fei, and Lin Yazhi were much calmer.

Perhaps because Xia Liu was by her side, Lin Yazhi and Fang Fei felt a tremendous sense of safety.

"This sea area is not very far from Liu Hai City. Troops should arrive here within forty minutes," said Xia Liu.

"Forty minutes, can Ouyang Lingtian hold on for that long?" Lin Yazhi became worried after hearing Xia Liu's analysis.

"Isn't he very strong? If he can't even last forty minutes, well..." Fang Fei looked disdainfully towards the deck.

Hearing Fang Fei say this, everyone else felt a little more settled.

Forty minutes, as long as Ouyang Lingtian could hold on for forty minutes, they could be safe.

Tatatatat...

Just as the second generation felt relieved, suddenly the sound of gunfire erupted.

"Ahh!"

The sound of gunfire threw the hall into chaos once again.

But this time, they didn't run around, just screamed, and those who were calmer hid behind obstacles.

Xia Liu spread his arms and draped them over the backs of Fang Fei and Lin Yazhi's necks.

"Don't be afraid, no one can hurt you today," Xia Liu said as he led them to a corner and crouched down.

At the same time, Xia Liu released the Five Element Spiritual Energy.

The Spiritual Energy formed a protective circle around Xia Liu, perfectly enveloping Fang Fei and Lin Yazhi.

Lin Yazhi and Fang Fei could not see the Spirit Energy Barrier and did not pay much attention to Xia Liu's words.

Even Lin Yazhi, who usually hated men touching her, said nothing.

The sound of gunfire lasted for about five minutes, then silence followed.

"Um, could you remove your hand?" Lin Yazhi finally spoke after the silence outside became unbearable.

"Xia Liu, you're taking advantage of my sister," Fang Fei said with feigned anger.

"Sorry, sorry." Seeing Fang Fei's sly grin, Xia Liu knew what she was thinking.

By taking advantage of her sister, if Xia Liu had more interactions with Lin Yazhi, perhaps Fang Fei would coerce him into devouring Lin Yazhi.

"It's alright, thank you for protecting both me and my sister. I wonder what's happening outside now?" Lin Yazhi was not in the mood to joke with Xia Liu, only wanting to know if they were safe.

After all, the people on this ship were very special.

If hijacked by pirates, the hundred or so wealthy heirs on board taken as bargaining chips would surely cause Liu Hai City, and even the whole of Huaxia, to be shaken.

"Don't move around; I will check it out."

Xia Liu was also concerned about the situation outside, and of course, he was worried about Uncle Fu.

The old man couldn't afford to have anything happen to him, as Xia Liu had yet to repay him properly.

"Be careful, and come right back if something's off," Fang Fei said tenderly to Xia Liu.

"Understood!"

But before Xia Liu could reach the door, the broadcast sounded again.

"Dear young masters and misses, we will be boarding your ship shortly. Please gather in the main hall within five minutes, or we will kill anyone we find!"

"Ah! We're doomed!"

"The pirates are coming!"

"Ah! I don't want to die!"

All the people on the ship started wailing.

"Anyone who doesn't want to die, come over here!" Xia Liu returned to the front of Fang Fei and Lin Yazhi and shouted amidst the chaotic scene.

Soon, everyone rushed towards the corner where Xia Liu was.

Seeing the scene blocked by these wealthy heirs, Xia Liu also crouched down.

With them in front, even if a fierce fight broke out later, Fang Fei and Lin Yazhi wouldn't be involved.

Bang!

Just as everyone had finished gathering, the door burst open with a loud bang.

As the smoke cleared, a figure was thrown in—it was Uncle Fu!

"Uncle Fu!"

"Yazhi, sit down!"

Seeing Lin Yazhi getting emotionally stirred, Fang Fei immediately pulled her down.

The pirates would be entering any moment now; being noticed at this time would be extremely dangerous.

Soon, a group of armed men of different ethnicities entered the hall, about thirty of them, all with radiant smiles on their faces.

Seeing the pirates enter, everyone kept their heads down tightly, scared of being singled out.

Xia Liu glanced around; Uncle Fu's injuries were serious. His shoulders were bleeding, presumably from bullet wounds, and so were his legs.

It baffled him where Ouyang Lingtian had gone—could the pirates have killed him?
